Dobar Fest

Dobar Fest was a noble (specifically a Marquis) of the New Kingdom Atismata. He was distantly related to the current queen Raffi Atismata. He was eventually killed by Yoruka Kirihime.

Appearance
Dobar was a middle-aged man with a round and wide body. He was bald but had a plentiful white beard. He normally wore a dress suit typical of a noble.

Personality
Dobar was a polite and friendly man on the surface. In truth, he was extremely ambitious, seeking to improve his position by any means. This was shown by his willingness to conduct an unauthorized investigation of a Ruin in order to obtain the treasures within.

Background
Dobar was originally a military officer of the Old Arcadia Empire. After passing a certain age, he became the feudal lord of a remote region of the Empire. When the Old Empire was overthrown and replaced by the New Kingdom, Dobar recommended himself as a candidate for the new consul and returned to the capital with his knight order. He raised his position by flattering his superiors, disdaining his inferiors and making liberal use of trickery. He eventually became an advisor for the New Kingdom army.

At some point, Dobar became the manager of Ries Island. He was also in contact with Hayes Vi Arcadia, one of the surviving princesses of the Holy Arcadia Empire. Hayes had Dobar come to a different island to fetch Yoruka Kirihime, a feared assassin of the Old Empire, and give her orders on Hayes' behalf. When Dobar arrived on the island, Yoruka showed her strength to him and he came up with a plan of his own. He took Yoruka to Ries Island without informing Hayes.

Ries Island Arc
Dobar travelled to Ries Island with his private army to obtain treasures from the Ruin Ark. At the pier, he greeted Relie Aingram and her students, who were here for a similar purpose. He claimed to be here to help them, though they were not fooled. He and Relie agreed that they would each have responsibility for managing their respective groups, with the tacit understanding that they had no obligation to help each other. Suddenly, Ark ran aground on the shore of the island, so Dobar excused himself and separated from Relie's group. He assembled his troops and arrived at the entrance of Ark at the same time as Relie's group. They entered Ark and then went off in separate directions. However, the progress of Dobar's group was slow due to encounters with Abyss and their lack of experience with Ruin investigations.

Dobar's group eventually left Ark. At night, they had a meeting in which the leader of Dobar's soldiers explained the reasons for their slow progress. Dobar decided that they would move at triple speed the next day and choose only the shortest and easiest route. The soldier leader protested, pointing out that this would increase the danger, but Dobar did not change his mind. At that moment, Yoruka arrived. She demonstrated her strength and introduced herself.

The next day, both Dobar's and Relie's groups entered Ark again. Dobar ordered Yoruka to break the door of the Abyss manufacturing facility to trigger an alert. His intention was to harm Relie's group to ensure that he would reach the deepest floor of Ark first. As a consequence of this, Airi Arcadia was accidentally separated from Relie's group. The soldier leader again questioned Dobar, causing him to explain his intentions, and this conversation was overheard by Airi. Yoruka then revealed Airi's presence. Dobar initially acted polite towards her but, after confirming with Yoruka that Airi's friends were not nearby, he ordered Airi to be killed. However, Yoruka turned against Dobar and easily killed his soldiers. Terrified, Dobar tried to offer her money, land and a position as an officer of the New Kingdom, but Yoruka ignored this offer and killed him.

Abilities
Dobar commanded a private army of Drag-Knights. However, he had little experience commanding in an actual battle, and could not fight on his own.
