Edmond Auclair's story.
Background
Edmond is a descendant of the Marquis Auclair. In S.1184, his wife Simone gave birth to their daughter, Elaine.
During Elaine's childhood, Edmond did not approve of the relationship between her and an orphan, Van Arkride. In S.1191, when the two would have been 7, Edmond arranged for Van to be adopted by foster parents; however, he had actually been adopted by the D∴G cult. (It is unclear if Edmond knew specifically that they were whom Van would be adopted by.) This event started a drift between Elaine and her father, as she had suspicions of his involvement.
Edmond was also shown to be proud of his heritage as a member of Calvard's nobility, being a nationalist. He sponsored an anti-immigrant group, which in turn funded Almata. Elaine's suspicions of this motivated her to become a Bracer, so she could find the evidence of his guilt and bring them to justice.
영웅전설 여의 궤적
Edmond is espied by Van and company when they arrive in Oración. Edmond glances at them but dismisses the similarity.
During the fifth chapter of the game, Elaine and Almata member Melchior made an agreement; she would add some excitement to Almata's battle royale in Oración by acting as the one member of its new 20th team. In exchange, she was given data by Melchior regarding Edmond's crimes. After having Renne confirm that the data was genuine, Elaine went to confront her father. However, Ashladd had beaten her there and was intending to execute Edmond, as he had been deemed a heretic by the Septian Church for his crimes. When Elaine showed up and revealed her evidence, Ashladd relented. Edmond tried to defend himself, claiming that he never knew about the incidents (such as the bombing of Creil) until after they occurred.
At this time, Melchior and Arioch appeared; since Almata no longer needed Edmond's sponsorship, they were aiming to kill him as he was now a loose end. Melchior also mentioned that Almata's boss never cared about Edmond's political or antiimmigration views. Depending on whether or not the player (as Van) was able to make the right choice earlier, in terms of figuring out where Elaine was going fast enough, one of the following scenarios occurs:
- If Van and co. don't arrive in time: Edmond suffers serious wounds from Melchior while protecting Elaine from him. Van and co. arrive, and after Almata is repelled, Edmond is taken in for emergency surgery, remaining unconscious and in critical condition.
- If Van and co. arrive in time: they repel Almata before Edmond can be injured.
In either case, Edmond is arrested for his crimes. His role in funding Almata and his resulting indirect role in the bombing of Creil, coupled with his funding of racist terrorists, cause enormous PR and financial problems for Quincy in the aftermath. Melchior later corroborates Edmond's lack of foreknowledge of the bombing by gleefully recalling how pale he became upon learning of it.
