![]() ![]() The best part is that he isn’t the main villainous force in Triangle Strategy. That belongs to the saintly seven of Hyzante. But the role he plays in the story is fantastic. ![]() Most villains can be lenient or even nonsensical in their actions. He’s a cold, narcissistic sociopathic monster that I couldn’t help but admire watching as he did all of this. All Gustadolph viewed them as, including Dragan, Frederica, and Cordelia were just tools to help him strengthen his grip on Norzelia. When you kill Thalas and Erika in chapter fifteen, he doesn’t bat an eye at the news of his dead siblings. As well as using that situation to wage a war on a neighboring kingdom and wipe out half of the royal bloodline. He saw an opportunity to kill Dragan when he knew he wouldn’t have to bear any responsibility. When the arranged wedding between Serenoa and Frederica came to be, he only did it out of obligation for a past agreement during the SaltIron war. Seeing as he even belittles General Avlora and Erika as well. This was when I realized that he just doesn’t care about anyone. While allowing his younger brother and sister, Thalas and Erika, to watch over her when he isn’t around. ![]() A Cold, Careless PersonalityĪfter marrying Cordelia, Gustadolph ignores her and just uses her as a puppet to control Glenbrook. He rubs so much salt in the wound that I couldn’t help but smile watching this play out. Roland heard of his father’s death, saw his brother die, and while sitting in a cell, he is told to his face by the man who orchestrated all of this, that this man is going to marry his last living relative. But if you hand him over, the same day he’ll be in jail and Gustadolph tells Roland that he plans to marry his sister so he can keep control over Glenbrook. Then the next day beheads the King in front of his subjects then orders Serenoa to hand over Roland. But he went so far as to have General Avlora kill one of the princes in front of Roland when you arrive at the scene. But Serenoa and the main cast were there trying to protect him so he pins the blame on them.Ī perfectly calculated move that gave him reason to capture the kingdom of Glenbrook. So in response, Gustadolph has him murdered, using the letter he sent to weasel his way out of responsibility. To break it down, Dragan threatens to hand over the secret resources in the mine to Glenbrook if he isn’t made the Prime Minister of Aesfrost. He invades and captures Glenbrook in a swift and ruthless fashion, but there’s much more to this than that. His not-so-threatening name aside, in the span of a few chapters in Triangle Strategyhe does so much. So do not continue reading unless you have at least completed chapter fifteen in Triangle Strategy. But before I can talk about him, I do have to issue a major spoiler warning for a lot of story beats in the game. That being Gustadolph, the Archduke of Aesfrost. In the recently released Triangle Strategy, there are many villains but only one truly shines through. It’s a given, but most games just shoe-horn villains into the game out of obligation and never really seem to fit. ![]()
