“We Normans walk side-by-side with death every step of the way... That's what life is like fer us.”
~ Grimson Balta
Grimson Balta (グリムソン・バルタ ) is the Jarl of the Balta Seaforce and father of Karja, the Pirate Princess.
Said to be on par with One-Eyed Ladoc, the infamous pirate of the Medo Sea, he possesses the charisma to manage his crew of ruffians and the shrewd political judgment to maneuver around the Romun Empire.
He is also capable of freely controlling the Berserker state, a Norman form of combat that turns heightened emotions into power. This combined with his excellent battle techniques makes him the strongest amongst Mana wielders.
