You'll what? Flee? Tell me, just where do you think you can hide?
— Kel, to Roartz

Kel (Japanese: ケル) was a Sacaen warrior, serving under General Brunnya of Bern during the Bernese occupation of Sacae. Brunnya tasked him with the protection of Roartz.

Stationed in Bulgar to take care of Roartz, upon learning of the approach of the Etrurian army headed by Roy, Kel suggested that Roartz fortify the interior of the Bulgar palace while he and his men attempted to slow down or stop the Etrurians on the outside. His efforts were unsuccessful and he was killed.

Kel was bound by a strong sense of duty and devotion as a subordinate to Brunya, even though he was not fond of Roartz,[1] and expressed an almost fatalistic level of devotion to his service to Brunya as a warrior, having resigned himself to the inevitability of dying in battle.[2]
