'''Baldr''' (Japanese: {{hl|バルド|Barudo}} ''Baldo''), dubbed the "Holy Knight" (Japanese: {{hl|聖騎士|Seikishi}} ''Holy Knight''), was a member of the [[Twelve Crusaders]], the original wielder of [[Tyrfing]] and the founder of the [[Chalphy]] duchy of [[Grannvale]].

As with the other Crusaders, Baldr was a warrior fighting in a revolution against the tyranny of the [[Loptrian Empire]], and was one of the many survivors barricaded in [[Dahna]] Fortress when the tide turned against their movement. It was at this fortress that the [[Miracle of Dahna]] occurred, changing the tide of the war: Baldr was chosen by an unidentified member of the twelve [[dragon]] gods who descended upon the fortress, and with this dragon underwent a [[Holy Blood|blood pact]], which transformed him into one of the Crusaders. He was then granted the divine blade Tyrfing, sealed to his bloodline, to use in the war.

With the other Crusaders, Baldr fought in the rest of the [[Holy War]] and contributed to the downfall of the Loptrian Empire. At the war's conclusion, Baldr and five other Crusaders founded the six duchies of Grannvale, the kingdom founded by their leader Saint [[Heim]], with Baldr founding Chalphy.

*Baldr's title of "god of light" (Japanese: {{lang|ja|光神}}) is shared with [[Naga]].
