Pierce

Pierce is the greatest spearman on the continent. He is commonly known as the Spear God. He is the Commander of Asta Troop.

Personality
Initially, he was a soft-spoken and timid young man. During that time, Roan took care of him and the two became best friends. However, Pierce's personality developed as his talent developed. He gained confidence as his winning streak continued.

Previous Timeline
Soon after Pierce and Roan entered Rose Troop, it was destroyed in a goblin ambush near Ale Gorge. There were few survivors and among them Pierce and Roan were the only newcomers. About a year later, Pierce became renowned for his monstrous talent as a spearman and Corps Commander of the 7th Corps, Baron Aaron Tate, sent an invitation to Viscount Reil Baker to come see Pierce. The two sparred and Reil Baker became impressed with Pierce's talent so he took him on as his disciple. From them on, Pierce's life completely changed. When Pierce returned from the training a few years later, he was immediately made a Vice-Corps Commander while Roan was still a common spearman. As the years passed, Pierce's talent seemed to grow more and more as did his achievements. Around the time of Roan's death, Pierce had become a Duke of Rinse Kingdom and the army's Grand Commander. Soon, he married Princess Katy Rinse.

Current Timeline
Due to Roan's intervention, Rose Troop overcame the goblin ambush of Ale Gorge and survived. Afterwards, Roan used his past skills and experience to quickly rise up the ladder in the Troop and eventually became a Squad Commander. He took Pierce in his 42nd Squad and trained him in the spearmanship developed by Pierce himself in Roan's past life. Pierce began idolizing due to him coming so far so quickly despite the two of them starting at the same place. A few months later, Roan became renowned for his monstrous talent as a spearman and Corps Commander of the 7th Corps, Baron Aaron Tate, sent an invitation to Viscount Reil Baker to come see Roan. The two sparred and Reil Baker became impressed with Roan's talent but was unable to take him on as his disciple as Roan had already learned the Flamdor Mana Technique. Instead, he took Pierce as his disciple.

A few year later, Reil Baker visited Roan in Miller Castle and informed him of Pierce's progress. Reil Baker noted that the more he trained Pierce, the more his talent grew such that currently Pierce was almost as strong as himself.

One year later, Pierce finally finished his training and came from Grain Mountains and ran into Katy Rinse who was on the verge of being killed by Marquis Abrie Page and his daughter Rodite Page. Due to his sudden appearance, Rodite Page ordered her knights to kill him as well. However, once Pierce bared his spear at them, he instantly (literally instantly) stabbed the throats of over ten knights and left the crown flabbergasted. He then revealed that he made a promise with Roan of the Rose Troop but before he could continue he heard that Roan had become a Count and he instantly became very excited.
