Welkin Gunther

Welkin Gunther is the son of a great war hero from the First Europan War (EWI). As the commanding officer of Squad 7 during EWII, he has the ability to issue Orders to units under his command, provided he has access to his tank's radio.

Welkin is also the only multi-class unit in the videogame Valkyria Chronicles, being both a tank commander and a Scout, albeit the only Scout in the game with no Battle Potentials.

He is the main protagonist of Valkyria Chronicles and the main male protagonist of its anime adaptation, where Alicia Melchiott takes his place as the protagonist.
