Commander Constano Grissini
Commander Constano Grissini is a young, tall, clean-shaven breadstick centurion of the Ceresian army, given in tribute to the Imperial army CC E2·01:46:04. His card reads Commander Constano Grissini, Centurion of the Imperial Army CC E2·01:48:58. He apologises that his men were late and calls Lapin wise primogen CC E2·01:48:57 CC E2·01:57:10.
Grissini is a Ceresian centurion in the Imperial army, who escorts the envoy and offers lodging in Fructeran garrisons CC E3·00:14:24 CC E3·00:15:46. He competes in Jet's ring in the tournament, and throws down his spear and shouts that something is wrong when the poison is discovered CC E4·00:02:45 CC E4·00:59:34. He slams his spear and pronounces the arrest by order of Gustavo Uvano, and looks sick after delivering her CC E5·00:22:02 CC E5·00:22:11 CC E5·00:33:11. He searches the Colby with Vegetanian and Ceresian soldiers and later commands from the tent CC E7·01:12:49 CC E12·01:30:40.
In the final battle he lowers his spear at Amethar and Joren, and is locked in individual combat with Amethar so his unit loses its martial abilities CC E17·00:07:26 CC E17·00:09:36. Amethar kills him on the ground, saying "You were good to my daughter" and that Grissini fights for the wrong side CC E17·00:41:06 CC E17·00:41:16.
