Warlord Gantas

Overview
Warlord Gantas is the leader of the hostile Raiders, and who will be the main antagonist for the first part of the story. He has his own fortress, which can be seen on the World Map, just northwest of the player's own outpost in the Northern Frontier. In addition to numerous Raider soldiers and Mammoths at his disposal, Gantas also has three lieutenants, who also begin to harass the player later in the game. Warlord Gantas is also at odds with the other Raider faction led by Elder Taos, friends of the Imperial outpost army.

Warlord Gantas is equipped with a destructive tank cannon, which appears to have been ripped straight off a Heavy Tank. The weapon is adorned with Mammoth tusks, and Gantas will swing the cannon as a melee weapon, striking up to three units at once.

In very early encounters with Gantas, defeating him (and his 1000 HP) is not a requirement to complete those battles with a victory. Fortunately, he also does not have any weapons either, so managing to defeat him in those early encounters can yield a nice little SP and gold boost.
