|Brig is nothing if not sincere. He is a passionate man; those Librarians must have done some clever talking to bring him to this point.

== History ==
About 6 months before the events of [[The Knights of Crystallia]], a delegation from the [[Wardens of the Standard]] arrived in [[Nalhalla]] and approached King Dartmoor about setting up and embassy and opening peace talks. While suspicious, King Dartmoor agrees.{{book ref|a3|6}} The draw of peace is strong enough that he is about ready to give up [[Mokia]] in exchange (and has most of the other members of the council ready to do the same) when [[Grandpa Smedry]] returns.{{book ref|a3|4}}

He was about to sign the treaty giving [[Mokia]] to the [[librarian]]'s when Prince [[Rikers Dartmoor|Rikers]] entered the chamber of the Council of Kings and demanded the proceedings be halted. After hearing Prince Riker's story and seeing [[Fitzroy]] brought in bound, he grills [[Kangchenjunga Sarekgjakka]], aka She Who Cannot be Named, and refuses to let her weasel out of the interrogation with half answers. After the interrogation he calls for a re-vote which leaves him as the deciding vote. After a brief hesitation he rips the treaty in half. {{book ref|a3|20}}

During the resulting battle, he draws his sword and stands guard over [[Draulin]] when she falls due to the corruption of the [[Mindstone]]. When Archedis turns his attention to Brig, [[Bastille]] steps in to defend her father. {{book ref|a3|21}}

== Relationships ==

|‘I will not be the king who was offered peace and who passed it by, Leavenworth. I will not be a warmonger. If there is a chance at reconciliation . . . But we should speak of this someplace outside the public eye. Let us retire to my sitting room.’

{{quote
|‘I find it telling,’ he declared to Swcbn, ‘that you cannot control your own people despite the importance of these talks! I find it disturbing that you would be willing to execute one of your own for joining a kingdom with which you claim you want to be friends. And, most of all, I find it disgusting what I nearly did. I want you Librarians out of my kingdom by midnight. These talks are at an end.’
