Ertiana, Lyar von

Ertiana, a talented commander and pilot from Germany, aims to get married by the age of 30, even though she is already 29 and currently has no prospects. She has been put in charge of Seraphim and oversees the new cadets, but unofficial reports suggest she is set to be promoted to Lieutenant Commander and transferred to command headquarters so that her experience can be utilized more effectively. Consequently, the four cadets are reportedly being sent in as candidates to replace her and are being trained for that purpose. Lyar is eventually promoted in Tragedy of Cherubim, but she has continued to serve on Watcher's Nest up to that point. Lyar hates LeBlanc, constantly suspecting that the head of Alchemy knows much more about the extratemporal monsters called the Ghoul than he admits.
