Description
Malves Garitier, an Elf Noble-High Lord of the Holy Empire Westelande, commands the Spirit Ship Eagle and leads its merchant fleet. His gaunt frame and pale skin contrast sharply with flamboyant attire dominated by purple fabrics and a gold-trimmed captain’s hat. Malves radiates arrogance and pomposity, habitually scheming while harboring a perverse obsession with Princess Raynesia. Chronic overconfidence in his strategic acumen blinds him to threats, causing repeated defeats against adversaries like Shiroe and Akiba’s Adventurers.
During the Libra Festival, Malves arrives in Akiba with Minami Adventurers under false pretenses of cargo delivery. He publicly indicts Raynesia for negligence, asserting she ignored a letter demanding storage for 500 tons of goods. This ruse—orchestrated by Westelande nobles to sabotage the Cowen family and undermine the Round Table Alliance—collapses when Shiroe forges Malves’s signature on a counterfeit letter and the Marine Organization proves capacity for tenfold the cargo. Exposed as the architect of both the phantom shipment and fraudulent notice, Malves feigns illness and flees aboard the Eagle. Nureha later clarifies the plot reflected rogue nobles’ whims, not official Westelande or Plant Hwyaden policy.
Malves reemerges during the Round Table’s dissolution as emissary for Touri Saiguu, Raynesia’s politically betrothed fiancé. He publicly twists her non-rejection of the marriage proposal into coerced consent. Residing with Touri in Honesty’s guild hall, he nurses seething resentment toward Shiroe over prior humiliation, though Shiroe deems him inconsequential upon recognizing his subservience to Touri. As Touri’s proxy in Akiba’s election, Malves delivers condescending speeches for the Akiba Government faction. His aristocratic posturing and vows of noble protection briefly sway People of the Land voters but ultimately fail against Shiroe’s reconstituted Round Table coalition.
No significant character evolution or additional backstory beyond these events is documented in available materials.
