Profile
Much like his father and his brother, Munnir, Cimbaeth is tricked by Sandima into attacking Grannvale while Duke Byron of Chalphy is away from the region.
When Sigurd's army draws close to Genoa Castle, Cimbaeth leaves the swordswoman Ayra in charge of defending said castle, holding her nephew, Shannan, hostage to ensure that she does not betray him. He then marches forth to face Sigurd, and falls to them eventually.
