Pegasus Fort

About
Pegasus Fort is the former General of the Leazas White Corps. A few years ago, he chose to retire and left the White Army in charge of his trusted disciple Ex Banquet. Despite his deep trust in his former student, Pegasus is largely incapable of fully abandoning his duty and continues to overlook the Leazas Army, as well as the path the country takes. While officially speaking he's not a soldier anymore, he remains with an active and vigorous disposition and supervising the movements of his former Army and the performance of his student Ex.

His only in-game appearance took place in the non-canon Kichikuou Rance, where after Rance was appointed King of Leazas, Pegasus greatly influenced Ex into forming a Rebellion against what they saw as an oppressive and cruel despot. Along with Ex and many members gathered from the different Corps of the Leazas Army, Pegasus was one of the leading figures in the Rebellion to take down Rance from the throne. Unlike Ex, who was more dubious and unsure of wether the resistance was right, Pegasus was completely determined and fearless. He saw Rance as a fool and a monster that would inevitably lead Leazas towards its inevitable destruction, something he could not accept within his lifetime. Much like before, Pegasus remained an important figure for Ex, inspiring him with confidence and reassurance while he was around, and persistently led the rebelling armies against King Rance himself. Unfortunately for him, he was eventually bested on the battlefield and lost his life, spending his last moments only cursing Rance for his actions. His death deeply affected Ex, who continued to think about him during the rebellion and arguably largely influenced on his subsequent performance on the battlefield that ended in his defeat.

In the canonical timeline, Pegasus remains alive and looking after Ex on the Leazas Army but hasn't made any physical appearance on the games, nor had any important mention.

Personality and Appearance
Having already hit the age of retirement years ago, Pegasus is one of the eldest people currently alive and still active in The Continent, being 66 years old by LP0006. While features typical of someone of his age are easily noticeable, like a wrinkled face and white hair, his appearance makes him look younger than he really is. He always keeps a firm and steady stance and a healthy body that is still full of energy even today. On his sole appearance in Kichikuou Rance, he was seen wearing the steel armor of the White Corps, coupled with a large cape and a white bandana on his forehead.

A very stubborn man, Pegasus is a devote patriot of his home country and acts based on what he believes will be the best for the future of Leazas. He has dedicated his whole life to the country, and believes that the nation exists for its people and not for the Government. He's an incredibly passionate and strong-willed man that never falters or waver. He's trained many soldiers himself and is known for being a strict mentor. He personally trained and appointed the current general Ex Banquet, and the two are still very close. They often spend their free time together conversing over different matters. Ex greatly respects Pegasus and Pegasus views him as the future of Leazas in return. He's also an old acquaintance of the Supreme Commander of the Leazas Army, Barres Province, since the two have been serving the country for the longest time. He respects Barres for his skill and allegiance, but does not share his mindset and devotion for the crown, often clashing with him for this.

Unlike his disciple Ex, Pegasus is a very obstinate man that would hardly change his opinions or understand different points of view, strongly standing on his own inflexible mindset to the death. He's fearless on the battlefield, and would rather die for his beliefs than going back to them. His stubbornness only grew worse over time, to the point of being completely dismissive of anyone accepting King Rance in Kichikuou Rance and believing him to be a purely evil brute with no redeemable traits, something even Ex was dubious about.

Abilities
As the former General of White Army, Pegasus retains a remarkable influence over many of the members of the division, as well as many other soldiers from the Leazas Army, allowing his word and opinion to be valuable and respected for many members of the military. Since he was the General of Whit Corps, a unit specialised in espionage, infiltration, reconnaissance and tactical warfare. Because of this, Pegasus is very skilled with all of these, and he has a vast experience due to his old age to back him up. While he doesn't have any specialised Skill Level for any of these fields, he's a smart and prudent man that was able to serve on the military for many years and was able to carry out his duty competently despite not having a natural talent for it. Additionally, thanks to his strong and fierce personality, Pegasus is a skilled leader and commander skills that is able to assemble a large number of soldiers under his name and command them with an unshakeable resolution.

In direct combat, Pegasus is a competent fighter with Sword Combat and Spear Combat level 1 skills. While it's not the main role of his army, he's a strong combatant with a Level Cap of 30 and has managed to keep his body in good shape without withering over the years. Due to his retirement, his Level has gone down to 15, but for a man of his age, his energy and passion is truly remarkable.

All these abilities make of Pegasus a very solid General that is able to fight as a commander with competency, however, as he doesn't particularly excel at any role, his performance as a General is not nearly as impressive as other Generals of the Leazas Army like Rick Addison or Barres Province, and his military record pales in comparison to their famous achievements.
