August rejoined Leif's group and helped direct his escape from Munster, recommending that Leif seek refuge from the Munster pursuit with [[Thracia]]'s General [[Hannibal]]. Upon the formation of Leif's army, comprised of Leonster army refugees, the Magi and the Fiana Freeblades, August continued to serve as Leif's two tacticians alongside [[Dryas]] in their journey to reach [[Tarrah]] and their subsequent defense of the city from the [[Friege]] army. | ||

August's recommendation was to travel through the Millefeuille forest to get there, citing it as a safer route owing to the lax security its reputation as a dark forest ensures. Under Dryas and August's direction, Leif's army successfully traveled to Leonster and liberated it. In the aftermath of Leonster's liberation, news reached them of the plight of [[Ulster]]; both August and Dryas opposed Leif's demands to go to its aid immediately owing to their army's fatigue from the preceding battle, instead proposing to lead a smaller army first with Leif following with the rest of the army the next day. August initially volunteered to lead the first wave, but Dryas requested to do so instead on the grounds of Leif's need for August's support. | ||
Dryas's unit was overwhelmed and slaughtered by the Friege army, and August and Leif were forced to defend Leonster against a Friege onslaught, barely succeeding for six months until [[Seliph]]'s liberation army arrived from [[Isaach]] and launched an assault on Ulster, forcing the Friege army to retreat from Leonster. The Friege army was defeated at Ulster by Seliph before Leif could get there, forcing King [[Bloom]] to retreat to [[Connacht]], and at Ulster Leif's next plan of action was determined to be the capture of Munster itself, while Seliph assaulted Connacht. August directed Leif's march on Munster, the crossing of the Great River of Thracia, and the invasion of the [[Loptr Church|Loptrian]] temple to defeat [[Veld]]. Following Veld's defeat, at Leif's request August remained in Leif's employ as a tactician and advisor.<ref>{{Cite|'''Leif:''' August...

==Personality== | |||
August is a realist and pragmatist in his approach to tactics and plans. He has no interest in honor or glory, seeks to preserve the lives of Leif's army without wasting lives on frivolous public displays, and is willing to take chances on unconventional or dangerous routes if their risks mean they are less likely to be defended; his approach led him to conflict with Dryas, as his belief that the ideal route to Leonster was through the less defended Millefeuille forests contrasted with Dryas's insistence on putting on a show of a march to Leonster by taking the heavily-guarded high road.<ref>{{Cite|'''Dryas:''' Lord Leif, we must head west on this mountain path to exit onto the northern highroad."<br>'''August:''' Count Dryas, are you sure we want to take the coastline? I believe we should head east down the mountain and attack Leonster from the south.<br>'''Dryas:''' The thick forests of Millefeuille lie to the south of Leonster. Those forests are well-known for people losing their way in them.<br>'''August:''' I'm aware of that. But that also means that the Empire's defenses would be lax. With our small numbers, we must take full advantage of the terrain.<br>'''Dryas:''' I disagree. Thracia... No, this entire continent is watching over our fight. We must not only win, our victory must be one that gives courage to the people suffering from Imperial oppression. We should march in proudly from the front, flying the flag of Leonster.<br>'''August:''' The northern highroad is practically Leonster's front door. Legions of enemy soldiers will be defending it. We will lose many of our troops.<br>'''Dryas:''' I understand.

“ | ...Blood that has been spilled once will never return. What is important is that we do not put that blood to waste. | ” | — August |
---|
August (Japanese: アウグスト August) is a tactician and a former priest of the Church of Edda. Formerly employed by the Lifis Pirates along Thracia's coast, he entered the service of Prince Leif of Leonster and acted as his tactician throughout his campaign to liberate the Munster District from Grannvale control.
Biography
At some point prior to Leif's expedition, August entered the employ of Lewyn, the errant king of Silesse, working to orchestrate the liberation of Jugdral;[1] it was under Lewyn's orders that he sought to act as an advisor to Leif.[2] He joined up with the Lifis Pirates as part of his attempts to search for Leif, intending to abandon them once he had found him. He achieved his task during a raid on Iz led by Bucks, which Leif and the Fiana Freeblades repelled; once the pirates were defeated, August approached Leif and volunteered to lead him to Lifis's hideout, then travelled with him to Munster. He parted ways with Leif and the Freeblades at Fort Kelbeth, intending to make his own way to Munster from there, but not before revealing his knowledge of Leif's true identity as Leonster's prince.
Upon learning of Leif's capture by Raydrik, August started working on a plan to rescue him, which proved to be unnecessary as Leif escaped himself with the assistance of the Magi. August rejoined Leif's group and helped direct his escape from Munster, recommending that Leif seek refuge from the Munster pursuit with Thracia's General Hannibal. Upon the formation of Leif's army, comprised of Leonster army refugees, the Magi and the Fiana Freeblades, August continued to serve as Leif's two tacticians alongside Dryas in their journey to reach Tarrah and their subsequent defense of the city from the Friege army.
Following the fall of Tarrah and Leif's escape with Linoan, the army's next destination was Leonster itself, held by Friege. August's recommendation was to travel through the Millefeuille forest to get there, citing it as a safer route owing to the lax security its reputation as a dark forest ensures. Under Dryas and August's direction, Leif's army successfully traveled to Leonster and liberated it. In the aftermath of Leonster's liberation, news reached them of the plight of Ulster; both August and Dryas opposed Leif's demands to go to its aid immediately owing to their army's fatigue from the preceding battle, instead proposing to lead a smaller army first with Leif following with the rest of the army the next day. August initially volunteered to lead the first wave, but Dryas requested to do so instead on the grounds of Leif's need for August's support.
Dryas's unit was overwhelmed and slaughtered by the Friege army, and August and Leif were forced to defend Leonster against a Friege onslaught, barely succeeding for six months until Seliph's liberation army arrived from Isaach and launched an assault on Ulster, forcing the Friege army to retreat from Leonster. The Friege army was defeated at Ulster by Seliph before Leif could get there, forcing King Bloom to retreat to Connacht, and at Ulster Leif's next plan of action was determined to be the capture of Munster itself, while Seliph assaulted Connacht. August directed Leif's march on Munster, the crossing of the Great River of Thracia, and the invasion of the Loptrian temple to defeat Veld. Following Veld's defeat, at Leif's request August remained in Leif's employ as a tactician and advisor.[3]

August: Lord Lewyn!? What are you doing here?
Lewyn: I heard about the fall of Tarrah, so I thought you would be here. You seem to be having a hard time.
August: It is my lack of power... Forgive me.
Lewyn: No, you have been doing well. We were expecting Tarrah to fall. Don't worry about it.
August: Yes...
Lewyn: I will check on Orgahil, and then return to Isaach. We should be able meet again in a year or so. Good luck, August...
August: One more year... My role is not over yet..." — Lewyn and August, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 - ↑ "I offered to become your advisor because I was ordered to do so by...one of my superiors." — August, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776

August:Yes... As you wish, Lord Leif..." — Leif and August, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 - ↑ "Dryas: Lord Leif, we must head west on this mountain path to exit onto the northern highroad."
August: Count Dryas, are you sure we want to take the coastline? I believe we should head east down the mountain and attack Leonster from the south.
Dryas: The thick forests of Millefeuille lie to the south of Leonster. Those forests are well-known for people losing their way in them.
August: I'm aware of that. But that also means that the Empire's defenses would be lax. With our small numbers, we must take full advantage of the terrain.
Dryas: I disagree. Thracia... No, this entire continent is watching over our fight. We must not only win, our victory must be one that gives courage to the people suffering from Imperial oppression. We should march in proudly from the front, flying the flag of Leonster.
August: The northern highroad is practically Leonster's front door. Legions of enemy soldiers will be defending it. We will lose many of our troops.
Dryas: I understand. But their deaths will be in glory and honor.
August: Glory? ...Count Dryas, you knights are not the only ones fighting this battle. Some of us don't appreciate having your values one-sidedly forced upon us." — Dryas and August, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 - ↑ "Prince! Get a hold of yourself! If we let our troops die out, Count Dryas' death will be for nothing" — August, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776
