Germanus Avadonia is the adopted son of Lolita and the foster brother of Alena. He was famous for founding the Lucifenian Resistance after the death of his foster mother and leading the Lucifenian Revolution.

Early Life
Germanus was born in EC 480. When he was two, he was found abandoned and adopted by Lolita as a result. Growing up with his foster mother, Germanus grew close to her and often accompanied her to the local blacksmith whenever Lolita's weapons or armored needed repairs. In EC 491, he met Alena, her new foster brother. At first, Germanus never spoke with Alena because of her shy and hostile attitude. After a few days, Charles Langley, the son of the blacksmith, was kidnapped by a group of bandits and Germanus was determined to save him. However, no one else believed he was still alive and gave up the search, save for Alena, and the two entered the Forest of Bewilderment alone to rescue him.

While there, the two began talking and opened up to each other. Germanus was captured and had to be saved by Alena. The two of them fought off the bandits and rescued Charles, who became attached to Germanus due to his bravery. When they returned, Lolita found out about their adventure and scolded them both, striking Alena. Germanus would later be praised for his heroism and take all the credit for the rescue. The night that Lolita sent Alena to the palace, he fought with his foster mother till dawn the next day.

Seeds of Rebellion
A year after Alena had left for the palace, Lolita ordered Germanus to sacrifice drinking wine because of the food shortage affecting the commoners until the hunger problem was resolved. The day before Prince Rintoine's birthday, Germanus got in a fight with some other men in the street, winning without an injury and cursing them out. The next night, he was alone at home wishing he could have a glass of wine, imagining the bottles of red wine being drunk by the aristocrats at the celebration. While wondering why his mother sent Alena to the palace as a servant, rather than one of the Royal Guards, Lolita returned home. He smelled her to make sure she didn't drink while she was gone.

Another night, Lolita returned home depressed, worrying Germanus. When she announced the King ordered him to return to the palace, Germanus asked if he found out about how she was stealing food from the palace barn to feed the starving citizens. After telling him she wanted him to succeed her if she died, he told him not to say such things and asked if she could avoid the situation. Germanus was then curious when Lolita took out a handbag from the warehouse. The next day, he said goodbye to her.

The following morning, Germanus left home to visit the nearby riverbank and wash out his face, seeing Charles and asking why he was there. Seeing a group of people by the shore, he asked what happened and Charles tried to tell him it was nothing. Curious, Germanus approached and recognized his foster mother's corpse, shocked and in denial that it was her. After picking up her body, he screamed for her not to die and fainted. He awoke later in Charles' home and was offered soup by his father but declined, telling him food was scarce. Distracted by the fact that his mother passed away, Germanus ignored most of Charles' recount about her death and suspected that "The Son of Evil" was the one who killed her. He decided she wanted revenge, and to kill Rintoine.

Later, she attended Lolita's funeral. Silent, Marius Futapie held him and Germanus could feel him shaking. Seeing Elluki Clockworker and his apprentice also there, he nodded his head to greet them. He then vowed for his mother and all the commoners of Lucifenia that he would overthrow the King. Forming the Resistance, Germanus visited the Forest of Bewilderment often for secret meetings in the abandoned house where Alena and he had fought off thieves years before. With the other four core members of the Resistance, she discussed the new recruits and lack of supplies. Minage told him many were willing to join but none knew how to fight and Sekto suggested they ask Keela Sfarz for aid.

Green Hunting
During the Green Hunting, Germanus and his followers tried to put out the fire burning the Forest of Bewilderment, but were stopped by a group of Lucifenian soldiers. The soldiers told them it was being burned by order of King Rintoine as part of the invasion of the Kingdom of Elphegort. Suddenly, a rainstorm appeared and doused the fire, forcing the soldiers to retreat. Germanus ordered the Resistance to remain vigilant in case the soldiers attempted to set fire to the forest again. He then saw a familiar silhouette and followed the shadow into the depths of the forest, discovering an exhausted Elluki and his apprentice. Approaching them, Germanus introduced himself to the former court mage, and offered to have them rest in his home nearby. Elluki declined, revealing it would be difficult for them since they were being hunted by the Royal Palace, and the sorcerer and his apprentice left. With that startling revelation, Germanus questioned what was happening at the palace that was causing this.

The Resistance gradually grew in size. Germanus was visited by Charles at his home and told him about the reasons behind the Green Hunting, angering Germanus. Once he left, Germanus knew he couldn't waste the chance given to him to start her revolution but was uncertain how to do it. After the Green Hunting ended and the war between Elphegort and Lucifenia continued, Germanus met with Charles and the other four core resistance members at their base in the Forest of Bewilderment. When a mysterious knock came at the door, he asked Minage to peek outside at who it was. Confident that the six of them could take her if she was an enemy, they opened the door to be greeted by the masked girl who joined their movement.

Preparation for Insurrection
Afterward, Charles helped Germanus get in contact with Keela Sfarz, traveling with Abbey to the merchant Koopa's mansion, Keela's current location, to negotiate his aide to their resistance. Germanus sat down and discussed the matter with Keela, learning about his servants Michael and Albin and what occurred, when a knock came at the door. She watched as the merchant permitted Albin to enter and overheard their conversation concerning Michael's death. Germanus interrupted, asking if he should leave. As Albin apologized and prepared to exit for disrupting the conversation, the resistance leader stopped her, confirming with Keel if she was the Albin they were speaking about. Keel argued Germanus' intentions, both him and Abbey replied it would be good to have another member and that it was her choice.

Noticing Albin's confusion, Germanus introduced themselves, begging for the Sfarz's assistance to make up for the resistance's shortage in both funding and members in exchange for securing Keela's confiscated properties from Lucifenia. Concluding his explanation, he asked if Albin wanted to avenge Michael's murder and, after Albin responded he would think about it, told him he understood. Germanus proceeded to threaten the white-haired servant if he betrayed them but Keela interrupted, saying Albin wouldn't sell them out. After Keela evaded his attempt to return to their discussion, he apologized for bothering them, thanked them for their hospitality, then left with Abbey.

The next day, at a Lucifenian bar, Germanus learned from Albin that Keela agreed to aid them; he asked Albin if he would join his cause but the man refused, saying that although he hated The Son of Evil, he was weak unlike Germanus. Apologizing, the disappointed Germanus asked what he would do, hearing the white-haired man say he would live alone somewhere quiet, where Keela found work for him. Wishing him well, he watched as Albin left and soon after witnessed a couple of mercenaries from the Venom Mercenary Group get into a conflict with the bar owner and stopped Abbey from getting involved. Afterward, the Resistance and him paid for their drinks and left the bar.

Sometime later, Germanus visited their base in the Forest of Bewilderment for the last time along with Abbey, Sekka, Minage, and the blue-haired, masked woman. Discussing their army's numbers and the loyalty of the masked woman, Germanus was asked by Abbey if he actually trusted her. Approaching the mysterious member, he touched her mask and hinted to her that he suspected who she was, surprising her, and told the other members to trust her since she was helping them. He told them to refer to him as "Kachessa" and during their meeting, Charles' father arrived with Lolita's armor reforged for Germanus and a large sword for him to give Charles. Thanking him, Germanus asked if he was really allowing his son to fight in the coming revolution.

After the old man's reply, Germanus asked Abbey if there was any way to get his sister, Alena, out of the palace. She responded that they couldn't risk leaking intelligence to the palace and Germanus tried to reason that his sister's strong sense of justice would help them. Abbey reported that Alena and Rintoine had become very close, much to Germanus' confusion. Confident that his sister could escape on her own, he put the matter to rest.

Lucifenian Revolution
"Right on! Comrades! Let us start our revolution!"

- Germaine to the Resistance army

The day of the Lucifenian Revolution, Germaine and members of the Resistance returned to the bar to prepare. Witnessing the molestation of a barmaid by the two mercenaries from before, York attacked one and Germaine threw a bottle at the other one before proceeding to punch him in the face. Subduing the mercenaries, the red-armored revolutionary stood up before the crowd outside the bar and announced the beginning of their revolution. Commanding the battle at Rollam, Germaine and her forces were losing when the Freesis Foundation supplied them with weapons. Newly armed, Germaine faced Liliane Mouchet during the fighting before the Resistance managed to defeat the Lucifenian army.

Weeks later, Germaine and her forces pushed the Lucifenian forces back to the palace gates. Kachess declared to her their victory, and Germaine told him they needed to hurry before the soldiers fighting in Elphegort returned to reinforce the palace, saying how lucky they were that Marlon did not send reinforcements for the masked man to hear. While asking about her comrade's injury, Kachess warned her of Gast Venom, who retreated to the palace. York came and after Germaine apologized for the injury of Sekka, his daughter, in the fighting, she stood in front of the revolutionary army and led the charge into the palace.

Entering into the Heavenly Yard from the main gates, Germaine offered the Lucifenian forces mercy if they surrendered but it fell on deaf ears. The revolutionary army charged forward with their overwhelming numbers until a group of maids, led by Mariam Futapie, began halting the resistance's advance. Chartette arrived and motioned for Germaine to break into the palace while she distracted Mariam. Following Kachess inside, she ordered for the army to assault the palace, hoping Chartette would survive before continuing the charge inside the palace walls. Battling the Royal Guard and Gast Venom in the Hall of Mirrors, Germaine berated Gast for insulting her fallen men and battled him. During their fight, Germaine's eyelid was grazed and her bleeding blinded her. Before Gast dealt the fatal blow, the lady swordsman listened for Gast's movement and struck him with her blade, wounding him.

Turning around to face him, the dying Gast laughed at not recognizing the heraldry she wore as the daughter of his old friend, Leonhart. Germaine asked if he saw the servant to the princess, Allen, with The Daughter of Evil and he responded that he didn't know where they were. Asking why he didn't escape and kept fighting, Gast replied that it was because he fought for the money. After the mercenary's death, Chartette came, and was worried about Germaine's injury until the resistance leader told her it would heal.

Curious about Chartette's battle, Germaine listened as she told her how the injured Mariam escaped before York told her Kachess's and of the death of Prime Minister Minis. Unable to locate either the princess, or her brother, Germaine ordered to help her search for her. York and Chartette stopped her and told her to rest because of her injury and went on without her. Germaine underwent emergency treatment for her eye and rushed toward the Hall of Sounds after hearing a report that the princess was captured. Despite York's pleas, Germaine pushed herself so she could personally confirm it despite her injury. Narrowing her vision, she vaguely saw the form of the princess although the face was obscure to her. For a moment, she was unconvinced until the captured Riliane struggled and screamed for the revolutionaries to let go of her.

Marlon Reforms
"If this country is led by the revolutionary army, then I would like to ask, who among them have political experience? None. The revolutionary army is composed of peasantry, and you expect to reform the country?"

- Kyle's argument for Marlon's occupation

Five days later, Germaine attended the peace talks in the Hall of Sounds between the Resistance, Marlon, and Elphegort. Congratulated by Keel Freesis, the red-armored warrior thanked the merchant for his support that gave her their victory. With the arrival of the Elphegort king, Sohni Elphen, and after confirming attendance, Germaine told the King of Marlon to start. Kachess, removing his mask, revealed he was Kyle Marlon, surprising everyone but Germaine. Sarcastically, she asked "Kachess" why he wasn't wearing his mask, the Marlon King responding that there was no longer any need to conceal his identity.

As the meeting continued, Germaine urged the Elphegort king to show mercy to the captured Lucifenian soldiers and discussed the surviving members of the Three Heroes: Mariam and Elluka. She asked if Mariam's body was killed due to her battle with Chartette but Kyle responded that it was due to a stab wound through her back. As Kyle announced that Lucifenia would become a Marlon territory, Germaine calmed the seething York to let the Marlon King finish. When invited to be part of Kyle's Lucifenian government, she refused. When asked if she met the arrested princess, Germaine told Kyle she only removed her bandages the day before. She, along with the rest present at the meeting, did not object as Kyle announced The Daughter of Evil's execution.
