Location & Recruiting the Captain
THIS SECTION CONTAINS SPOILERS

The Captain, Le'garde, can be found in the level 7 catacombs in the rightmost area, behind some iron bars. The conditions that determine whether Le'garde is alive or dead when found are yet to be determined.

Le'garde is the reason that the player's character is visiting the dungeon, and the main characters and girl, if present at the scene where he is found, will comment on his condition or speak to him, depending on whether or not he's alive at the time.

He will claim to have amnesia if he is alive, although he can remember his name, and will ask to join the party. He will remain in this space until recruited if the player does not recruit him then. D'arce will stay with him until both of them are recruited if she is in the party when the player does not recruit him.

Lore
Le'garde was the leader of a mercenary army called the Knights of the Midnight Sun. He was relatively successful and was seen as a prophetic leader, who would unite all the people under one kingdom. He invaded Oldegard to get the Cube of the depths, and sometime after that, was captured and imprisoned in the dungeon.

The amnesia that Le'garde claims to have is merely a facade he uses to trick the player into accompanying him into Ma'habre and helping him ascend to Godhood. Nosramus explains after Le'garde's death that his imprisonment was orchestrated as part of a grand plot to ascend to a better type of godhood. Each of the new gods has a different type of soul that encompasses their powers and beliefs: Chambara's tormented soul, Valteil's enlightened soul, Nilvan's endless soul, and Francois' dominating soul. Le'garde attempted to encompass all of these aspects: torment through the torture of the dungeon, enlightenment through the cube, endlessness through meeting Nilvan in his dreams, and domination through his campaign. This puts him in a unique position to become greater than all of the new gods. Nosramus describes this as "not necessarily the right path, but...an interesting event to unfold...".
