Aultcray Melromarc XXXII (Spin-off)

Aultcray Melromarc XXXII (オルトクレイ＝メルロマルク３２世) is the King of Melromarc.

Appearance
His hair and farcical hair are long, white, and straight. He wears a robe decorated in jewellery and a fancy cape. Additionally, he wears a crown on his head and rings on his fingers.

The weapon he wields is the Vassal Staff, however, he is unable to summon it.

Personality
He is notable for being cunning, shrewd, and an excellent tactician. He is also a doting father and tends to believe anything his first daughter tells him.

Background
Aultcray Melromarc is actually second-in-command to his wife Queen Mirellia. As a young man he parents were killed by Siltvelt assassins and he later became the valiant commander who eventually defeated the Siltvelt army. Despite his victory, his hatred for demi-humans (and in extension the Shield Hero) remained.

Aultcray was married into the royal Melromarc family with Mirellia Melromarc and eventually had two children - Malty and Melty. He loved them dearly and doted upon them. Even though Malty grew up to be an incredibly manipulative and malicious woman, Aultcray continued to believe her every word. One day, while Queen Mirellia was at an international conference, Malty convinced him to summon all four Legendary Heroes.

After Motoyasu, Naofumi, Ren and Itsuki were summoned as the Legendary Heroes, they were brought to seek audience with King Aultcray. As with the original timeline, King Aultcray both dismissed and persecuted the Shield Hero almost immediately. Motoyasu calls him out on his actions and King Aultcray seems to genuinely apologize. However, he was quickly irritated by Motoyasu's disrespect and being called "trash". When the heroes were assigned companions, Naofumi was given two unlike the original timeline and he was given an equal share of money.

However, this charade fell once Malty accused Naofumi of raping her. Believing his daughter's every word, he angrily brought charges against Naofumi. Later, King Aultcray sent a group of assassins pretending to be a Siltvelt emissary group to Naofumi. They were successful in killing him.

(Light Novel Volume 1 Chapter 4 - Light Novel Volume 2 Chapter 10)

Unlike the first loop, Motoyasu was able to convince the other Heroes to be wary of King Aultcray and Malty. Seeing him as a threat, the two royals conspired to separate Motoyasu from the others and successfully trapped him. However, Motoyasu was able to break out of the trap with Eclair and nearly killed King Aultcray before Eclair stopped him. By this time, King Aultcray had sent Naofumi out with Melromarc assassins pretending to be Siltvelt emissaries. However, Motoyasu and Eclair were able to save Naofumi just in time.

On their trip to Siltvelt, they received many assassination attempts by The Church of the Three Heroes and Melromarc. At the same time, King Aultcray was grooming Itsuki to be his champion and demanding that the Bow and Sword hero get as strong as Motoyasu. Eventually, King Aultcray left with the army towards Siltvelt which saved him from an assassination attempt by Motoyasu. King Aultcray formed an alliance with Shieldfreeden to attack Siltvelt at the same time. However, once they were about to attack, Eclair had arrived and had stripped Aultcray of his power with the authority of Queen Mirellia. King Aultcray refused the order but was soon defeated. His daughter, Malty, was killed by Motoyasu before his eyes.
