Tami John

About
A member of the Helman Third Army who only appears in Kichikuou Rance. He is a large, muscular, grizzled and austere man with an intimidating presence, the kind you would expect from someone who has had to struggle in the harsh climate of Helman for his entire life.

He is the manservant to Minerva Margaret and her younger brother, and wears a bell collar with an "M" engraved on it to showcase this. He is indebted to the two for some unknown reason, and has sworn his life to protecting them. As the Margaret siblings were born into poverty, it is very likely that Tami is also from a similarly harsh background.

Should the player fight the Third Army for several turns without defeating Tami, he will trigger a pitfall trap made by Minerva, killing him. He plays no other role in the story beyond this.

In the canon storyline, his character is largely replaced by Isaac, another Third Army soldier who believed himself to be the right hand man of Minerva only to be betrayed and indirectly killed by her. Despite this, his name does reappear in Rance IX as the name of a stage boss, but the character uses a generic Helman Knight model and has no story relevance.

Abilities
A massive man with a towering frame, Tami was a deadly opponent with strength and abilities comparable to a General. In battle he wielded a large two-handed axe with ease to cut down his foes. He was also incredibly tough and resilient, possessing a body that could withstand several attacks from an entire army and still stand.

In addition to his individual strength, Tami appeared to be a skilled commander, leading a very large unit of powerful Helman knights to great effect, being able to defeat sizable sections of enemy armies while minimizing casualties in his own.

Despite these talents, they ultimately proved useless in keeping Tami alive, as it was his own blind trust in Minerva that proved to be his undoing.
