Description
Ritsu Muses hails from the systematically discriminated Marcan tribe within the Samaforce region. Following the destruction of his mercenary group in battle, he scraped by as a starving orphan on Lamberk's streets until near collapse. Discovered in the marketplace by Ars Louvent, Ritsu was offered a retainer position contingent on passing a combat test administered by Ars' father, Raven Louvent. After succeeding, he began serving dual roles as a low-ranking soldier and household servant for the Louvent family.
His exceptional capabilities soon propelled him forward: high intelligence, rapid learning aptitude, and formidable combat skills—especially swordsmanship and knife fighting, the latter favored for confined spaces—catapulted him from menial duties to becoming Ars' personal tutor and eventually a key military commander. Leading the Louvent army, he directed forces through internal conflicts and succession wars.
Ars' Appraisal skill quantifies Ritsu's elite proficiencies: Leadership (A, 87/99), Prowess (A, 70/90), Ingenuity (A, 72/99), and Strategy (S-rank). His combat specialties encompass infantry, archery, and cavalry, though naval operations and magic are weaker areas. His Ambition stat registers low (C, 21), reflecting a focus on service over personal power.
Profound loyalty to Ars Louvent defines Ritsu, born from gratitude for rescue from destitution and prejudice. This devotion manifests as protective ferocity; he reacts aggressively to perceived threats or insults toward Ars, earning battlefield monikers like "The Reaper of Louvent" and "The Cruel Demon of Louvent"—titles he considers exaggerated misrepresentations. Recognizing this potentially self-sacrificial loyalty, Raven Louvent delivered a deathbed admonition: Ritsu must prioritize his own survival to fulfill his duty as Ars' long-term protector.
Beyond military command, Ritsu maintains close bonds within the Louvent household. He revered Raven as a mentor and regards the family as his saviors. His relationships with fellow retainers like Charlotte and Rosell involve collaboration strengthening the territory. As political tensions rise and Ars ascends to lordship after Raven's death, Ritsu's role expands to safeguarding Ars from external schemers and internal factionalism, always adhering to Raven's final advice while navigating wartime leadership and domain management.
