About
Commander of the Leazas White Corps, Ex is a master of sabotage and reconnaissance.

Ex is recognized as a genius by both friend and foe alike, and at 27 years old, he's the youngest White Commander in the history of Leazas. A Patriot of Leazas who always puts the country first. He recognizes Lia as competent, but is nonetheless worried when it comes to her love affairs.

He's a man that worries about the future of his country, and believes in planning out things before doing them. While he recognizes his queen Lia as a competent ruler, he is frequently worried by her obsession with Rance, who he deems untrustworthy. This reaches its head in Kichikuou Rance, where he leads a rebellion after Rance is crowned King of Leazas.

He was married, but his wife died. He still loves her deeply and remains faithful to her. He slept with Melfeis Promenade on a monthly basis, but only to prevent her from succumbing to the curse placed upon her. He seems to be unaware of the feelings she harbors for him.

Before becoming commander of the White Corps, he served under Pegasus Fort, who has acted as his mentor and confidant ever since. Though the two bicker frequently, Ex respects Pegasus highly and Pegasus views him as the future of Leazas in return.

He is close friends with Rick Addison, who began training to become a knight at around the same time as him. Ex is deeply hurt when Rick chooses to follow Rance rather than join his rebellion and Rick is likewise hurt by Ex's defection.
