Solare Ostberg[a] was the president of North Osea Gründer Industries during the Circum-Pacific War. He was said to be the "ringleader" of the Grey Men, and was a top member in the Belkan secret society.[1]
History
Solare Ostberg was a Belkan who rose to the position of President in the arms manufacturer North Osea Gründer Industries, formerly the state-run South Belka Munitions Factory. He was also a secret member of the shadowy organization of Belkan hardliners and nationalists known as the Grey Men, and was said to be one of the "ringleaders" of the group.[1]
He was instrumental in instigating the Circum-Pacific War as a leader of the Grey Men, and attempted to turn Osea and Yuktobania against each other to obtain revenge for Belka's humiliation in the Belkan War.[2] Despite this, his plans were foiled by a joint Osean and Yuktobanian coalition led by Razgriz Squadron[3], and the Grey Men's plans were exposed to the world by Osean President Vincent Harling and Yuktobanian Prime Minister Seryozha Viktrovich Nikanor.[4] After the war's end, he was detained and sent to prison, where he died in 2011.[1]
