Horten Profile and Backstory

Prologue

Prime Minister of Halcyonia

In a meeting with King Vernon of Halcyonia, Prime Minister Horten suggests that Princess Gloria take steps in restoring Musa and its lineage by way of marriage.

Gloria rejects the offer stating that she has to fulfill her destiny by taking the Crystals to its rightful place to prevent further calamity. Prime Minister Horten is appalled at the rejection, but King Vernon respects Gloria's wishes and supports her on her quest.

Diabolical Plan Foiled

It is revealed that Prime Minister Horten was behind the plot to steal the Wind Crystal from Gloria. He hired Selene and Dag to take the Crystal from her but they ultimately failed.

Fatal Mistake
