Barthroy Fitts

Barthroy Fitts (バルトロイ・フィッツ) was an Imperial Prince of the Sacred Vollachia Empire. Contrary to many of his other siblings, he hated how the Imperial Selection Ceremony required his family to kill each other.

He worked with Vincent Abellux to save the lives of his nine siblings who did not participate in the ceremony. Before Barthroy could see his plan come to fruition, he was killed by Lamia Godwin when she poisoned him. Despite this, his plan turned out successful.

Appearance
Barthroy's appearance was never described.

Personality
Barthroy always acted sweet and friendly to his siblings, which were unusual traits for the Imperial Family, as most of them either hated or were distant with one another. He also had a minimal amount of personnel at his mansion, making him appear relatively incautious. However, Barthroy's outward sweetness and friendliness was an act that served as his means to achieve what he desired. He hated the idea of his siblings killing each other, and in order to prevent unnecessary deaths during the Imperial Selection Ceremony, he worked with Vincent to save their lives while burying the truth his machinations, which even had his own death factored into them.

History
Unlike many of his other family members, Barthroy seemed unwary of his siblings for at least seven years preceding the Imperial Selection Cerermony. While he was attending a party celebrating his father's birthday at age 20, he met with Lamia and lamented how it was not possible for his siblings to get along. Barthroy looked deeply moved when Lamia pretended to share his sentiment.

Barthroy chose not to lay his hands on the Yang Sword during the Imperial Selection Ceremony, thus forfeiting his qualifications to participate in the ceremony. During it, he worked with his younger half-brother, Vincent Abellux, by persuading nine of his siblings to abandon their hopes of participating and giving Vincent their territories in exchange for their lives. In the midst of a meeting with Lamia, however, he passed away due as a result of his younger half-sister poisoning the wine he was drinking. Although he perished before he could see his plan achieved, his plans were successful after his nine siblings betrayed Lamia during her assault on the Abellux family's castle.
