Biography

This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.

Renning was the crown prince of Crimea. He was defeated in the Daein invasion of Crimea and presumed dead; however, Renning survived, and was given the drug used to create Feral Ones, which broke his mind but increased his strength.^[1] He became a general of Daein under the name Bertram. He was stationed to guard Fort Pinell, but was defeated by the Crimean army under the leadership of General Ike.

After Bertram was defeated, Bastian secretly took him into his castle, but was unable to cure Renning. He hired Volke, who discovered Izuka was behind Renning's current condition, and kidnapped him; Izuka offered to create an antidote in exchange for his freedom, but Bastian refused, as he did not want to allow Izuka to roam free, and because the galdr of rebirth was a more reliable method.^[2] Reyson sang the galdr of rebirth, which he was able to do because of Ashera's awakening,^[3] and this cured Renning. Afterwards, Renning took up his sword, armor, and steed once more, and joined Ike's forces for the final assault against Ashera.

Bertram: Dread Cavalier
Today, I'll be introducing you to Bertram! He's a member of the Four Riders, a group made up of the strongest generals in Daein's army!	Despite his prestigious rank, Bertram is a man of mystery, and no one has seen what he looks like under the mask. I've even heard spooky rumors that he's actually an animated suit of armor controlled by a vengeful ghost, or that he's a monster from another world!	One thing's for sure, though: when he shows up on the battlefield, he means business! He'll keep swinging without a shred of hesitation until all his foes have been felled. You could almost say he goes completely feral…	Bertram doesn't show a shred of emotion, but apparently there was one time when he reacted in rather a strange way to Princess Elincia. I wonder what kind of connection they have? If anyone has any juicy details to share, you know who to come to!

Cares for her kingdom and people. An encounter with her on the battlefield provoked a strange reaction from the normally emotionless Bertram. {{{Related_blurb4}}} {{{Related_blurb5}}}
