Liver

River was the leader of Esdese's personal bodyguards and the strongest group in her army, known as "The Three Beasts". He was a refined and battle-hardened man, who was deeply loyal to Esdese.

Bio
He once was an accomplished General in the Empire's army and Braht's superior years ago. During the Empire's war against the Southern Lands, he was dismissed from his post due to being framed on false charges when he did not give in to the Prime Minister's bribes. At the military tribunal he attempted to valiantly defend himself using his records and merits, but it fell on deaf ears.

After ultimately being left to rot prison for the rest of his life Esdese appeared, and in a surprising move she freed him on the condition that he would join her army. She valued his abilities and achievements, thinking that it would be a waste to leave him imprisoned. Esdese also offered him patronage against the Prime Minister and his other enemies. Grateful for being saved and granted a new life back in the military, he became indebted to Esdese, leading some of her most loyal men. When he and Braht met once again for the first time in years on the cruise ship "Ryussen" with their paths in life having diverged, they battled to the death with their loyalty and ideals on the line.

Equipment & Skills
River's Teigu was a ring called the Black Marlin which allowed him to manipulate water and other liquids. His skills with the Teigu were so great that he was almost able to destroy Braht's impregnable Demon Armor Teigu, Incursio. He also possessed adept sword skills.

Relationships

 * Braht - Once old war buddies and close friends with Braht, when both were members of the Empire's army. At the end of their lives, they both still respected each other despite being on opposite sides.
 * Esdese - Recognising his strength and worth she saved him from prison an act for which he became forever grateful. He will follow her orders without thought and to the letter, even going up against Braht and performing a suicidal final attack against his old friend merely to claim the life of one of Esdese's enemies.

Trivia

 * His Teigu could be a reference to his name.
 * In his spare time he enjoyed cooking, but apparently wasn't skilled at it, his cooking was so bad that it scared Nyau.
