Caellach



Caellach (ケセルダ, Keseruda, translated Cethelreda in the Japanese version), the Tiger Eye, is one of the Six Imperial Generals in Grado's army. He is depicted as a ruthless, merciless man, whose foremost goal is to eventually rise from his status as a mercenary to become a king. In order to reach this goal, Caellach tirelessly sets forth in completing the tasks set forth by Emperor Vigarde.

As a young man, Caellach became a mercenary in order to get away from his hometown in Jehanna. In this mercenary troupe, Caellach eventually came to meet Joshua, who had also abandoned his country in order to travel the world as a mercenary. Eventually, Caellach's drive to succeed bolstered him upward to become one of Grado's generals.

Through the course of the game, Caellach is responsible for the destruction of two Sacred Stones. Alongside General Selena, Caellach infiltrates Frelia and destroys their Sacred Stone first. Afterwards, he is charged with eliminating the Stone in his home country, Jehanna. As events unfold, Caellach is seen using less than savory ways of accomplishing his missions, including holding Queen Ismaire hostage in order to get Carlyle to rebel to get his way. Despite his promise to Carlyle that he would not hurt her, Caellach murders Queen Ismaire of Jehanna, in order to find its Sacred Stone.
