  • Emperor Wilhelm Paul Hresvelg
    • He was the first monarch who along with Saint Seiros of the Church of Seiros (aka Archbishop Rhea) found the Adrestian Empire and raised an army in pursuit of unifying Fódlan, before the evil Nemesis, the King of Liberation, noticed Adrestia's efforts and railed his forces, the Liberation Army, to confront his enemy, thus sparking the War of Heroes.

They allowed the Aesfrosti army to pass through Regna's kingdom, with the catch being Aesfrost must maintain joint control over the source with Glenbrook once they could conquer Hyzante. However, Symon Wolffort and his clan drove back the Aesfrosti's forces and proved themselves to be a fearsome band of warriors. In the midst of the war, Zigmunt took Orlaea, the legendary liberator of the people of Roselle, as one of his concubines for whom he had a daughter, Princess Frederica.

His cousin Dragan has been attacked and killed by the assassins just as Symon's son Serenoa Wolffort inspects the newly discovered Grand Norzelian Mine with him. Dragan's death leads Gustadolph to accuse the Kingdom of Glenbrook of murdering him, bringing General Alvora there to help with his invasion. He executes King Regna and his son Prince Frani, captures his daughter Princess Cordelia and seizes the kingdom's capital to instill himself as its "new king". But Regna's younger son Prince Roland has escaped with House Wolffort as he becomes a sole heir to Glenbrook's throne. Gustadolph then returns to Aesfrost and finds that his uncle Svarog is illegally smuggling the salt and harboring a suspicions against him, regarding his son's death.
