68歳。ヒューラン族。旧ランディス共和国アンベルク出身。
ガレマール帝国第IV軍団千人隊長。
Race: Hyur
Age: 68
Birthplace: Arnsbeirgs, Landis
ガブラス親子二代に仕える勇猛果敢な将。亡きバッシュ・ヴァン・ガブラスと同じランディス共和国出身の戦士。半西紀前のボズヤ侵攻時、十代でありながら百人隊長として任務にあたっていたという。現軍団長ノア・ヴァン・ガブラスを幼少の頃から知っているせいか、未だに「ノア坊」と呼ぶ。
メアニウス配下のボズヤ管区分遺隊に所属。「魔獣大隊」を指揮する。「獣王」の呼び名のとおり、獣使いとして手塩にかけ育てた魔獣と共にレジスタンスと対峙する。
すでに68歳と高齢だが、未だ一騎当千の戦闘能力を誇り、長年の戦場生活で培った用兵術を駆使して襲ってくる。ただし、自ら立案した作戦を無視して単独で出撃することもしばしば。勝つことよりもより強い相手との戦いを好むため、一騎打ちになることも多いようだ。軍略を台無しにする行動を採るせいか上官であるメネニウスから叱責を受けることも。戦闘や戦争が大好きなバリバリの武闘派である。故にメネニウスが好むような謀略・調略の類いが大嫌い。「勇士なら拳で語れ」が口癖。
Pilus prior of the IVth Imperial Legion, known also by the epithet “the Beast King.”
A mainstay of the IVth, the indomitable Lyon has faithfully served two generations of Gabranth legatuses─first the father, Basch, with whom he shares a homeland, and now the son, Noah. Having known the latter as an infant, he forgoes protocol and refers to his commander as his “dear boy” as he always has.
Since the beginning of his military career, he has exhibited tremendous talent for warcraft, swiftly rising through the ranks to become a centurion and distinguishing himself during the invasion of Bozja well before his twentieth nameday. Now a grizzled soldier of eight and sixty, it would seem that Lyon's best days are far behind him, but his vaunted skill at arms betray no signs of decline; on the contrary, his wealth of combat experience makes him all the more fearsome as he charges into battle at the head of his beast contingent in clashes against the Bozjan Resistance.
Yet as often as he has proven his worth to the IVth, Lyon also has a notorious reputation for being unpredictable. A warrior through and through, he relishes battle for its own sake, and is known to seek out worthy foes against whom to test his mettle, mission be damned. Not even strategies of his own conception are exempt from his impulses, and his comrades are no longer surprised when they discover that he has abruptly sallied forth on his own.
His conduct has garnered him the ire of his superior, Tribunus Menenius sas Lanatus, but not even demotion seems to faze the old Hyur. Having no patience for Menenius's love of machination and maneuvering, Lyon is often heard to say: “A warrior lets his weapon do the talking.”
