Ganesha, Balgus

バルガス

Balgus, one of Gaea's three master swordsmen and a general in Fanelia's army, served under Van's father in his youth before departing to travel across Gaea in search of skill improvement. He encountered Allen and trained him for a period, but upon the death of Van's father, he returned to Fanelia to care for Van and his mother. When Zaibach destroyed Fanelia, he died saving Van.
Although he perished early in the series, he continues to influence the lives of the main characters through his enduring impact as both Van's mentor and Allen's teacher.
In the 1994 manga, he appears in the same capacity, serving as Van's mentor who dies once Fanelia is attacked.
