How did Lioness even survive? They're just half an island going against another half and an Empire? O_O It might just be that Lioness is hostile with everyone. Also, Beelzenia's clearly in a tenuous position. It lost Asmodean, Lucifenia goes within the century, Marlon's are ruling Marlon (so I guess technically they "lost" their puppet government with Martius) and Banica was their own saving grace from completely collapsing. I think Lioness being on the other side of an ocean helps them in case Beelzenia ever wanted to invade. It would really not be worth their time imo.

Either way, Marlon kicks their butts by Story of Evil's time so they clearly didn't survive in the end. :P

Another Ausdin? It sort of makes me wonder how important their bloodline is... I'm thinking that Mothy will probably find a way to twist the family into EC much more, which will probably happen during Greed. If not, they'll remain a family of minor characters that love the military. XD Well if their service in the Lucifenian military is any indication, the Ausdin's may have been loyal to the D'Autriche Dukes as their knights or something similar. Depending on how the D'Autriche and Lucifenian Royal Family relate (either Lucifen I was a D'Autriche or perhaps adopted their name as a title to legitamize his rule (and Gast demonstrates that a family title system exists for the Five Dukes), it could be the Ausdins have long been Lucifenian warriors and then Tony came along to muck up their name.
