Corporal (
Appearance[]
Corporal was a short, young man with black hair that had a distinctive curled strand at the front of his forehead. He also had black eyes, a small nose, thin eyebrows, and wore round glasses. As a soldier in the Westalian Army, he wore a side cap along with the standard uniform: a grayish-green military jacket and white dress shirt with a brown belt and black boots.
Personality[]
Corporal was a calm, young man. As a child, he often served as the moderator when General teased Loid, often coming to the latter's defense. Years later, upon discovering Loid was alive after their town's bombings, Corporal was relieved to see his friend alive and wept tears of joy for him.
History[]
Corporal grew up in Luwen, Eastern Westalis, with his family. As a child, he befriended three boys who shared his dream of fighting in the Westalian Army. The group came up with military-inspired code names: "Advisor" (who would later become Loid Forger), "General," and "Major," while he took the name "Corporal." The four played at an old army storage depot that Loid had found, using it as their secret base. They spent their free time there playing cards and staging mock war games between Ostania and Westalis. Corporal often played on Westalis's side as Loid's teammate, often winning thanks to Loid's sharp tactical instincts.
The boys helping set up the town festival
Days before Luwen's town festival, the boys helped the adults set up the event in exchange for candy. During their next hangout, Loid brought a new soldier kit, but as the group eagerly set up their next mock battle, he abruptly left to assist with festival preparations, confusing his friends.[1] They chased after him, but a bomb suddenly struck the depot, the first attack that marked the beginning of the second East-West war. Despite their efforts to look for Loid, the boys were unable to find him.
The friends reunited during the war
Years later, Corporal, General, and Major enlisted in the Westalian Army as privates. While stationed away from the frontlines, the trio unexpectedly reunited with Loid. After a heartfelt reunion, Loid expressed his desire to hang out like they used to and invited them to a restaurant that weekend. However, the trio informed him that they were being deployed that night for the Roberts Campaign. When another soldier addressed Loid as "Roland," they were confused, but Loid brushed it off as a nickname. The friends parted once more, but not before promising to keep in touch.
The Roberts Campaign ultimately proved to be a rushed and reckless operation that claimed the lives of Major, Corporal, and General. Only their dog tags were returned to Loid. Following their deaths and his recruitment to Westalis's military intelligence, Loid thought of his lost friends and vowed to create a world where children don't have to cry because of war.[2]
Synopsis[]

After passing out from Anya getting a Tonitrus Bolt, Loid dreams of his past, including his interactions with his childhood friends. When he wakes up, Loid thinks of his friends once again as he tells Anya to take care of hers.[2]
Term Break Arc[]
While attending Berlint's Annual Winter Sheep Festival with his family, Loid recalls an old memory with Corporal, General, and Major at Luwen's town festival after Jeeves and the butlers of the Elman and Egeburg families bid him farewell and hope to meet him again.[3]
Abilities and Skills[]
Military Training: As a soldier in the Westalian Army, Corporal appeared to have received standard military training, such as weapons handling and field survival skills.
Relationships[]
Loid Forger[]
As children, Corporal and Loid, then known by their code names "Corporal" and "Advisor," were close friends who shared a dream of becoming soldiers in the Westalian Army. During their war games, Corporal served as Loid's partner and often relied on his impressive tactical skills.
After being separated by the bombing of Luwen, Corporal and the others believed Loid had died. Years later, they had a chance reunion with him as soldiers in the Westalian Army. Happy to see their friend alive and the same as always, the friends quickly rekindled their childhood bonds. Corporal and his friends were ultimately killed in the Roberts Campaign, an event that profoundly affected Loid and reinforced his determination to create a world where no child would have to experience the same loss.
