Till the End of Time: Shelby

Story[]

Second-in-command of the Black Brigade's heavy cavalry, pride of the Kingdom of Airyglyph. The men of the brigade like Shelby better than the captain, Albel, because of his honest, hearty personality.

He is the one that has imprisoned Farleen and Tynave and used them to draw out Nel, Fayt, and Cliff, which works as intended, except that Fayt, Cliff and Nel end up killing Shelby and some of his men.

Shelby is heavily implied to have conspired with Vox to demote Albel as Captain of the Black Brigade and promote himself in Albel's place. During Farleen and Tynave's imprisonment at the Kirlsa Training Facility, one of the guards near Count Woltar's mansion mentions that Albel is in a meeting with Vox and Woltar. Shelby later says that Vox purposefully detained Albel longer than necessary, so that Shelby could unilaterally capture Nel and execute Tynave and Farleen in exchange for Fayt and Cliff, all but ensuring his promotion to Black Brigade Captain.

Profile[]

Shelby has an honest, hearty personality, but has the bad habit of attempting to solve every problem through military force.
