“ | Look at them... making themselves at home in MY country! I can only be pushed so far. They're going to pay dearly for this! | ” | — Chagall |

(シャガール Chagall) was the King of Agustria. The successor of his pacifist father Imca, his brief reign was distinguished by aggression toward Grannvale and a protracted war with Sigurd of Chalphy.
Biography
At the behest of Manfroy of the Loptyrians, Chagall personally killed Imuka,[1] and while rumors abounded of his role in Imca's demise nothing was ever proved, allowing Chagall to easily ascend to the Agustrian throne.[2] In a stark contrast to his father's reign, Chagall fulfilled the wishes of most of Agustria's lords in a time of anti-Grannvale sentiment and commenced a build-up of Agustria's military in preparation for war. In Grann 758, following Eldigan's failed attempts to convince him to stop, Chagall ordered an invasion of Verdane, which itself had recently been conquered by Sigurd's army. In response, Sigurd's army led its own invasion of Agustria upon receiving a request for backup from Eldigan's sister Raquesis at Nordion. The battle culminated with Chagall fighting Sigurd's army himself at the capital Agusty, which he lost; while badly wounded in the battle, he survived and was pulled from the battlefield by Eldigan, still loyal to Chagall despite his actions. Eldigan and Sigurd negotiated a temporary one-year Grannvale occupation of southern Agustria to restore order in the battle's aftermath, and Chagall moved his royal court to the northern Madino Castle while Sigurd's army took up residence at Agusty.
Within six months of the truce, however, Chagall had commenced amassing another military force with the intent of recapturing Agusty and ordered an assault on Sigurd's army. When the tide turned against him, Chagall escaped from Madino before Sigurd's army could reach it and fled to Silvail Castle to the west, under the guard of Eldigan and his Cross Knights, the last remnants of Agustria's military.[3] He forced Eldigan's unit to deploy against Sigurd, then confirmed with Travant the arrival of a Thracian mercenary unit led by Papillon. When Eldigan returned in a final attempt to convince Chagall to cease the hostilities, Chagall ordered Eldigan's immediate execution by beheading. Ultimately, Sigurd's army reached Silvail and Chagall was defeated again, this time killed in battle.

Personality and character
Chagall starkly disagreed with his father on the matter of peace with Grannvale, and on Eldigan's role as an advisor; he falsely believed that Eldigan had long harbored disdain for him and that any attempt by Eldigan to provide advice was of treasonous intent.[4] He was lured by Manfroy into assassinating Imca and going to war with Grannvale with the promise of power and the rise of Agustria as the new superpower of Grannvale.[5] He himself had a manipulative streak, tricking Ferry into believing that Lewyn was a hostage of Sigurd's army.[6] He was highly arrogant and dismissive of anyone attempting to give him advice, and intensely angered by the idea of any of his servants failing him.
