Continuing on our retrospective on the Second Spanish War at the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of our victory, let us have a look today on Clothilde Berthier.
A promising young woman, nothing was destining her on becoming the Dark Lord's favourite lieutenant before she was placed under his command in the lone ace division at the start of the war, when it was sent to Bordeaux to stop the advance of the Spanish troops.

Unfortunately for Berthier and for France, the division only managed to join the city of Bordeaux a day before the Spaniards, and they got caught up in the following siege. As we all know, nothing managed to break the Spanish ranks, no matter how many sorties attempts were made by the besieged and the lone ace division. It was during one of those attempts that half of the division was wiped out, thereby giving Spain the opening they were looking for to enter Bordeaux.
What followed was the most ignominious defeat France has ever known and an unspeakable carnage for any French caught alive by the Spaniards, who were all too eager to revenge themselves for their defeat in the First War 16 years earlier. Berthier was trapped right in the middle of those events, having to witness both the Spaniards' terrible exactions and the not-less terrible magic the Dark Lord used to allow them both to escape.
Berthier decided she only survived because of the Dark Lord's acts and formed a deep debt of gratitude and loyalty towards him, following him wherever he led afterwards, no matter how depraved and against nature.
Let us all reflect on how this man has been able to twist the most brilliant mind of our country and to bring anyone to their ruin. No one should fall for his political façade and mistake him for anything less than the cruel manipulator that he is! We can only pray for His Majesty and the Chosen One to vanquish him soon and all bring them our best support in this endeavour.

Clothilde Berthier

Origin: Lyon.
Family magic: Raw magic attacks.
Current role: The Dark Lord's main lieutenant.
History: Clothilde Berthier comes from a military family from Lyon. Like all her family members, she was trained in martial arts since her childhood. Her brilliant mind allowed her admission to the University of Lyon and its officer track, and she enrolled in the army as soon as she graduated.
Her undeniable skills and powerful magic led her to enter the lone ace division just as the Second Spanish War was started.
Profile: The traumatic events Berthier witnessed in Bordeaux made her unstable and violent, this injured state of mind being only encouraged by the Dark Lord. Since then, Berthier has revealed in bloody and senseless raid, such as the one conducted in Lyon just last week which led to the reveal of the Chosen One, M. Flavien Rivoire.
Among her allies, she is said to also favoured cruel teasing and humiliation, forcing them into horrible traps to force them to prove their loyalty or skills or die trying.
