Vielar Crom

Vielar Crom is the only Admiral in the United Red Army. He is very mysterious and very little is known about his past and even much of his current situation. He has a kind of rivalry with General Mayo Deftinwolf.

Early Life
Prior to the Mage War, he held a distiguished record. He also had electronic integration, perhaps making him a cyborg, or even something else. He was given "prolonged life" by Covent Marth. His helmet is actually his actual face; due to a "catastrophic injury" this piece of tech was fused to his face. He also had work done to his neck and upper body. He also had the ability to drain power and/or eletrictity from anything.

The Mage War
Crom first made history for his role in the Mage War as Covent Marth's right-hand man. Once the war truly began, Crom took on the role of Commander and General to Marth's troops. It was said that he was the type of man who inspired confidence. He was a straightforward and honest man, even to Marth, which Marth appreciated. Crom's goal was always to achieve maximum victory with minimal loss of life. Towards the end of the war, Marth's faction had cornered Ryan to his citadel on Sinosure, blew it up, but did not revel in the victory of his defeat. Marth entered his own citadel on the stronghold, to reflect on the future, and never came out. Ryan, actually not dead, subsequently captured Crom.

As a prisoner of war, Ryan kept Crom in a dungeon pit in his new stronghold, House Atlantic. Chained, he refused the food Ryan offered, eating rats and insects instead. It was here that Ryan came to him with an offer. Ryan argued that Crom had no more obligations to Marth, or his troops, as "everyone who gives a damn about which side you're onis dead." Crom responded that if that's the case, he has no reason to stay alive, to which Ryan responded that he possessed "one of the foremost military intellects in existance" and that his death would be a waste of "material" and instead offered he join him.

Crom intitally declined, but Ryan pressed him, saying that he believed Crom's true loyality was actually to himself and that he couldn't deal with being on the losing side. For this, there is one solution, join the winning side: his side. He added the additional stipulation that he would be an Admiral—the only one in all of the Keywork. Leaving Crom to mull over it, Ryan faded from his presence.

It is unclear exactly what happened to Crom after this, but he was next seen during the first fall of House Atlantic when The Knowledge and The Beast were captured but escaping with The Inferno's help. Crom had gone right to Ryan's side and blasted rubble away to protect him and help him escape. He addressed Ryan as "sir" and made it clear he was, in fact, on the Red Army's side.

Involvement with the Monstar
Crom was called upon to get the situation on the Gloria vel Vessa under control—the Red Army had found and recaptured The Knowledge and The Beast. Though as usual, they were not making it easy for them and Ryan believed Crom's ability to drain power sources would be beneficial to getting them under control. As before, Inferno showed up to help battle him, but Crom pinned him to a wall with a steal pipe through the gut and expelled some of his stored power to knock all of them out, taking the pair to Paris: Earth, as planned.

On the planet, Crom oversaw the rest of the operation, suppressing the pair's energy. He ordered them to be strapped to standing gurneys and their eyes forced open. Deftinwolf appeared to taunt him, but Crom ordered him to do his job rather than wasting his time, to which he couldn't argue. Deftinwolf released the dragonflies which stung the pair. This activated the Monstar Virus that flowed through the pair's viens, and overwhelmed Crom's ability to absorb energy. It was at this moment that the Beast, now called the Monstar, impaled him through the chest.

First Revival
Deftinwolf retrieved Crom's body and Ryan had ordered it be brought to the cryogenic analysis.
