He had a wide range of supporters with his casual but reliable attitude, but made that support even stronger by giving back the compensation from the Erebonian Empire to the people in order to revitalize Calvard’s economy.
He is known for making quick decisions, and instead of taking a time-consuming “reconciliation” approach to matters, he tends to mock those attempts as “competition” and diverts the energy spent on that to a different cause.
