Rodolfo
Rodolfo (later Lord Rodolfo) is the opportunistic, leading figurehead of Sadal Suud. Born and raised in Sadal Suud, he is proud of his home island and the natural bounties it has to offer, but he longs for a bigger place in the world both for himself and his nation. While he does have Sadal Suud's best interests at heart, he's just as eager to keep plenty of perks for himself.

Talks a lot, a suck up to anyone in power
Due to his propensity to cozy up to the empire in order to make a quick buck, others often see him as a spineless coward who lacks moral conviction. When the situation is dire however, he stands by the heroes and does his part for the greater good.
Someone's gotta stand up and show people here the road to a better life."

In the current leading lord of Sadal Suud's absence, Rodolfo steps up to handle international affairs in hopes of obtaining the title of Lord. He meets with Heughes for a demonstration of what promachination has to offer and agrees to work with him in return for a large amount of money. Later, when confronted by Sagi and crew, he admits that while he does intend of working with the Empire, all he wants is their gold. He hopes that by placing himself in between Alfard and Sadal Suud, he can usher in an economic boom for his home nation without sacrificing its independence.
