Raised by the king of Baron as his own son, Cecil Harvey served his kingdom well as the leader of the air force unit "Red Wings." With the full might of an airship armada and years of dark sword expertise at his disposal, Cecil and his men were truly unstoppable. When his king orders him to rob the people of Mysidia of their Water Crystal, however, he begins to question the morality of his actions, as well as the motives of his surrogate father. This cloud of doubt looming over the dark knight did not go unnoticed by his king, who promptly dismissed him from command of the Red Wings. Alongside his best friend Kain, Cecil was sent off on a seemingly short errand that would kick-start his journey of treachery and self-discovery.
