History

How long is that Dario bastard going to act like he's our senior?! Well, he is our senior, but...

— Hervey

Hervey was a pirate who worked closely alongside Kika. Like Sigurd, he had been washed away during a battle against the pirate Steele and was rescued by Kika. Since then, he has loyally worked under her to repay that life-long debt. Skilled at fire magic, he had dubbed himself "Hervey the Furious".

As a novice pirate, he had served under Dario but found the relationship never became more equitable. Even by the time of the Island Liberation War, Dario would still try and pull rank in order to have Hervey cook for Dario and even massage his feet.

Hervey could be hot-tempered and aggressive, making him quite the contrast to his former rival, Sigurd. Together, however, they formed a formidable team. When Kika agreed to join forces with the leader of the resistance against the Kooluk Empire, Hervey would join as well. Once the conflict ended, Hervey returned to the Nest of Pirates with the rest of Kika's crew and continued to work hard to assist their operations.

He also later joined Kyril on his mission to destroy the Rune Cannons together with Sigurd. The two of them were asked by Dario to train Nalleo and they would be impressed with how much the youth improved. He continued to serve loyally under Kika after the Rune Cannons were destroyed.
