Break Lieutenant Kalar Anakalar[note 1] is a Talonite member of Millennium Break who appears in PARTIZAN and PALISADE. He fights mechs without using one himself and opposes any use of Divines in combat.
Appearance
He is tall even for a Talonite. He has white and grey plumage and wears coat that is either long, or cool.
Personality
Kalar is devoted to protecting his family, and writes them letters often (sometimes including little doodles of whatever he's currently doing). He is affable and friendly with others, encouraging his teammates during battle. However, this friendliness only goes so far; he got into bar fights with members of the Company of the Spade alongside A.O. Rooke, and was frustrated with the Figure in Bismuth when they didn't understand people's reservations about working with the Witch in Glass.
Having spent part of his life in devotion to Peace, Kalar strongly believes that Divines should not be used in war.

History and Involvement

Beliefs
- Million is a remarkable soldier. There is a lot that I could learn from her.
- Broun designed the weapons I destroy, is this just another paycheck?
- Phrygian's motives are unclear and concerning. Please don't let this be a work.
- In turning to Clementine in desperation, Sovereign Immunity handed her a lot. I believe that he can take double back.
- The Figure’s loyalty is highly questionable, their abilities are not. What’s to be gained by working with a spy?
- Milli boarding the Reflecting Pool took courage, but I wish she hadn’t left once we needed her the most.
Abilities
Kalar specializes in fighting mechs without piloting one himself, and has a skill set specialized for that purpose.
- David's Song: Kalar performs better when acting to defend his home in the Prophet's Path, and recovers stress after defeating a machine of war.
- With Me on the Wings: Kalar may spend his Spark to assist a teammate or to push himself to do a brave and eye-catching stunt.
