British

About
British was the lead member of the Legendary Five, forming the group because he felt that it was his duty to defeat the Demon King. British and his group entered the "Ancient Ruins" (the world's largest dungeon) in an attempt to find a way to destroy the Demon King.

After many battles with monsters and humans living in the dungeon, the five finally find God Totems and a massive "Gate of the Gods". They were unable to open up the Gate and just before they were about to leave, a failed God attacked them. Planner (who was watching the battle) was interested in the team as they slayed the failed God and decided to open up the "Gate of the Gods" and grant them all one wish. The five prepared to move through the "Gate to the Gods", but British was too weakened to move. During the battle, British was mortally wounded, Café tried to heal him but his injuries were too severe. Everyone paid their last respects to British and entered the Gate, leaving him behind.

British attempted to escape the labyrinth, but became ensnared in a trap set up by Shin the Mage. He is now trapped in a concrete wall and eternally alive thanks to the "Concrete Curse". The "curse of Concrete" trap places the target in a stone wall, and keeps them alive for eternity.

Currently British can still be found stuck in a stone wall in the dungeon near the Leazas castle.

In the first game, he begs Rance to get him out of there, but Rance boxes his face instead, and called him a great punching bag. He is a running gag in Rance series, and shows up in the ending credits begging to let him out already.

Abilities
In his youth, British was one of the most powerful humans to have ever lived. Born into an age of chaos and despair, he alone managed to muster the courage to rise up and fight against the Demon King. He was both a prodigiously talented swordsman and guard, allowing him to both efficiently protect the weak and combat the corrupt with incredible skill. In addition, he had a phenomenal amount of innate talent, and possessed one of the highest level caps in history at a staggering 100, giving him the potential to fight on equal footing with lower ranking Dark Lords, a feat only a small handful of other humans could also accomplish.

As if to compliment his incredible physical capabilities, British was also naturally charismatic. His passion to liberate humanity earned him the admiration of his comrades, who all thought very highly of him and immediately broke away from each other following his disappearance. During his era, British became a symbol of hope to all of humanity as the man who would lead them to a brighter future, and was revered as a hero as a result.

In the present, however, British has long been sealed in concrete, incapable of doing anything besides speaking, and his body has steadily withered away from lack of nourishment. Strangely enough, he has maintained an impressively high level of 50, one of the highest levels of anyone currently living, even after hundreds of years of complete inactivity, suggesting that he would still be surprisingly formidable if somehow freed, though likely far below the excellence of his prime.

Despite having lost his great power and fame, British still retains his courage, kindness and wisdom, and is willing to share his experiences with anyone who is willing to listen. Unfortunately for him, few people are.

Trivia

 * His name is most likely a reference to Lord British of the Ultima series.
 * While he was called a hero during Gele's era, it was never stated that he was the hero of the system designed by Planner and he was probably refereed to just as a normal hero by the people. The fact that during the time he was with the Legendary Five was already around 25 years old supports this theory.
 * He is somewhat similar to KD, both being champions of their races that were reduced to gag characters after an encounter with the Gods.
 * He is the first member of the Legendary Five to make appearance in the Rance Series, as early as Rance I.
 * He is the only member of the Legendary Five that didn't get to meet Planner, yet was still placed under a curse that granted him immortality in the process.
 * He has not appeared since his cameo during the credits of Rance VI.
 * His hair gradually becomes longer with each of his chronological appearances.
 * In the Rance 03 Popularity Poll he ranked 9th among male characters.
