OVA
Description
Kurt Irving commands Squad 422, the Nameless—a penal unit of identity-stripped soldiers designated by numbers. Falsely convicted of treason by Major General Carl Isler, he escapes execution to lead the squad, driven by a relentless quest to reclaim his honor through unwavering service and belief in justice.
Born in Randgriz City, Gallia’s capital, Kurt’s upbringing in a family-run store forged his pragmatic philosophy, prioritizing utility over excess. This ethos propelled his rise as a Lanseal Royal Military Academy top graduate, celebrated for tactical brilliance and record-high academic achievements. His analytical rigor borders on obsession, manifesting in nights spent refining ration spices or scrutinizing minor test discrepancies.
Amid the Second Europan War, Kurt molds the fractured Nameless into a unified force, confronting Imperial troops and the Darcsen insurgent group Calamity Raven, led by his strategic rival Dahau. Key clashes include liberating Dillsburg, outflanking Imperial defenses via perilous mountain routes, and navigating Gusurg’s betrayal after Gallia’s exploitation of the Nameless. Kurt often employs non-lethal tactics to avoid Gallian retaliation, balancing survival with ethical restraint.
Interactions with squad members challenge his isolated demeanor: Riela Marcellis, a Valkyria descendant with unshakable loyalty, and Imca, a vengeance-driven Darcsen, foster his growth in trust and camaraderie. Post-war, he retires to a quiet life of herb-gathering and cooking, residing with either Riela or Imca.
In the OVA *The Wound Taken for Someone’s Sake*, Kurt defends civilians and shields Squad 7 during Gallia’s rogue designation of the Nameless, deploying tactical ingenuity like diverting enemies with the Nameless Tank and coordinating assaults via light signals. His moral resolve shines despite the unit’s expendable status.
Kurt’s arc concludes with disbanding the Nameless to avert geopolitical strife after destroying a Valkyrur superweapon. By erasing squad records to safeguard Gallia’s peace, he transcends his reputation-driven past, embracing self-sacrifice for collective stability over institutional recognition.
