Mize

Background
Mize is of the Ash-Mouse Tribe that resides outside of Earl Seryuu's territory.

He has a brother who is the patriarch of the ratkin settlement, other than his own language, he understands Shiga kingdom, Green Scale tribe and Elf language.

Appearance
Mize is a ratman who wears a distinctive red helmet. His small stature means he is easily mistaken for a human child. Satou describes Mize as though he has a rat's face it's 'nihilistically handsome.'

No-Life King Zen
Satou's group encounters Mize and his Ratmen Cavalry whilst the latter was being pursued by a swarm of flying ants on the orders of Zen. Unable to escape the swarm on their Hexapedal boar (Dash Boar), Mize makes contact with Satou's carriage and on realising Satou's spoke the Elf language, he forcefully urges Satou to protect their princess (who would later be revealed to be Mia), tossing her to him before making a last stand so the carriage escapes, dying heroically along with the rest of his companions.

In the Light Novel, Mize manages to evade the pursuing ants long enough to run into the Iona's patrol outside Seriyuu City. Leaving the knights to deal with the ants, Mize slips into the city in order to seek help from the elf who resided there. He is eventually cornered in the back alleys by Zen's shadow stalkers before he could reach his goal, and is critically injured. Satou's timely intervention prevents Mia's recapture and saves Mize's life. After being healed at Yusalatouya's store, Mize returns to his tribe.

It is revealed by Mia to Satou how she became acquainted to Mize due to him being saved by Mia's parents (Lia and Laya) when he was dying and surrounded by goblins outside Bolenan Forest ten years prior to Satou saving her. Mize then stayed in Mia's parent house for a while being taught together with Mia various things by them.
