A Romun general who leads the Romun troop to the land of Canaan. He seems to have some connection to Geis...[[spoiler:It turns out that he is Geis' brother and a descendant of the Clan of Darkness, having left Danan Village along with Gruda and taken the Black Key Almarion with him, and tried to use the Black Key to gain control of the weather controller Galbalan, Napishtim. Unlike Geis who is trying to atone for the mistakes of his ancestors, he seeks to obtain the power of Napishtim for himself. To that end, he sends out his three fairies in order to undo the seal on the ark and kidnaps Isha. Using Almarion and Isha's power, he manages to gain control of the ark but is ultimately defeated by Adol. After his defeat, Ernst tries to draw more power from the ark but fails, causing Napishtim to go berserk in the process. As he lays dying, he apologizes for his actions and asks Adol to stop the ark, opening the passage to the control room. He also bequeaths his three fairies to Geis.]]
