Baltas (Japanese: バルタス, Hepburn: Barutasu) was the humanoid guardian of Mercury's Door.
History
Discovery
Baltas appeared in the world during the Cataclysm along with the rest of the Cathedral City. At some point, he was found sleeping near Mercury's Door by Lady Cerulea of the Land of Seas.[1][1.1]
Hunting the Intoners
After his awakening, Baltas acquired a faerie companion and became an enforcer for the landed lords. In May 998, he was sent out to hunt down the Intoners after they killed Lord Beis of the Land of Sands.[1.2] He fought Intoner One and a nearby dragon who got dragged into the conflict. One eventually managed to best him using a dragon fang while she was possessed by her Power of Song.[1.3]
Despite this, Baltas was able to regenerate his body, emerging from the carnage as a young boy. This forced One and her new dragon friend to flee.[1.3]
Return to Cathedral City
One month later, on June 6, 998, Baltas arrived in the Cathedral City as requested by Lord Gray of the Land of Mountains.[1.1] He was then handed some Old World writing by Lady Cerulea, who instructed him to read it while interacting with Mercury's Door. When Baltas followed her instructions, a panel near the door opened up, where a projection of the woman known as Accord appeared. The projection informed him that his voice data was incorrect, after which he was promptly teleported away.[1.4]
Final showdown
One and Baltas would go on to have one final confrontation in December 998.[2][2.1] The exact outcome of this confrontation is unknown, but it is believed that One emerged victorious.
