Bertrand du Guesclin

Bertrand du Guesclin (ベルトラン・デュ・ゲクラン) is a French general who fought during the first half of the Hundred Years' War. He specialized in guerrilla tactics and effectively used his limited number of troops for surprise attack or night raids. He tended to use the scorched earth policy during his campaigns. When he was captured by John Chandos's army, the King of France paid a high ransom for his release.

Role in Game
Bladestorm: Nightmare has Bertrand stationed at Île-de-France alongside Jean. Misled into attacking the player, he realizes his mistake once the corrupt Joan of Arc's plot to sow discord is exposed. Joining the coalition against the monsters, he accompanies Magnus and Arthur de Richemont to Flanders in hopes of taming the dragons. In Champagne, Betrand and Jean risk their lives to evacuate one of the helpless villages. Should the player save them immediately, they will be unlocked as additional squad members.

Personality
Bertrand is known as a genius of the battlefield. Known for his foul-mouth and simple personality, he sometimes acts like a child when things fail to go his way. He faces much criticism from many noble lords, including the Duke of Berry. However, his ability to come up with great strategies has made him a respected tactician.
