In a flashback it is seen Mikael went to great lengths to protect his friends. He constantly delayed his assault on the Temple Mercenary Base. He was hoping a mission would cause Ares, Gohu, Baroona, and Robin to leave the base, to keep them out of danger. When he found out only Robin and Baroona left, he had his best warrior secretly protect Ares, and trusted Gohu would find a good hiding spot. He also left his physician behind in disguise to nurse the two back to health. Mikael later sent out orders to capture Ares and Ariadne in order to remove them from the fighting and to keep them safe. In the present it is revealed that Mikael only kept three things in his personal treasury: his Temple Mercenary A rank helmet, his amulet, and a picture of him, Ares, and Baroona. Icarus and the remaining Temple Mercenaries are hailed as heroes, Ares in particular.
