Girard Ontilés

"'He died before I was born, on Kirmiian. I never met him.'""-Theodosia Ontilés, to Thalia Mazin and Zar Vox."

Girard Ontilés was a Sergeant in the Cordelian Army and was a volunteer in the Cordelian Expeditionary Force during the Kirmiian War. He was killed just weeks after his daughter Theodosia was born, and never got to meet her.

Death
Sergeant Ontilés was killed during the Siege of Vastapp in CY 1893. The Siege was carried out by Valzovech, Ekoto, Cortanzan, and Voltov troops. Girard and his squad were tasked with capturing an enemy command center as the allied forces pressed an attack. As the command center was about to fall, Kirmiian reinforcements arrived, and Girard was shot in the chest as he defended his wounded comrades.

Legacy
Upon his death, Eva Ontilés was incredibly distraught for several months. As a result, her eldest son Martin had to take care of their infant daughter Theodosia. This put intense strain on their family, and resulted in Martin growing distant with his family. Girard was buried in his family's plot on Cordelia Prime, and was memorialized as part of a memorial built in the Ekoto-occupied sector of Vastapp to honour those who died in the Siege of Vastapp.
