Murakamo Susaya (21 April 1892 - 29 August 1991) was a senior Rubrumian officer and became Rubrum's leading field commander during the Second Europan War. He served in the Rubrumian Army from 1912 until retiring ceremoniously in 1957 to private life. He emerged again as a school chancellor and the founder of the Calgary School of Business in 1960.

His father was a general at the Rubrumian Army while his mother was a businesswoman with a passion for cooking. Susaya would always come home immediately from his school to enjoy snacks and dinner with his mother according to her.

Susaya was the youngest officer to serve in the Rubrumian Army, being promoted to Captain by the age of 19 for his outstanding leadership at a short-lived conflict at Basel-Ebel. He went on to become the youngest general at the age 22 after the Battle of Avnin. He was known as "The Spartan General" for being able to stand even with a small force against a large one. He was always sure of his forces before going into battle. He is also the grandfather of Lt. Gen. Yonaharu Susaya, who is currently the most senior Rubrumian commander; and the great-grandfather of Kurasame Susaya.

Relationship with Aschelmann and Marriage

In early January 1920, the Battle of the Yuell Pocket was closing fast. Commonwealth troops had captured Aschelmann after his superior had left her to the Commonwealth, making her the only Imperial General captured throughout the war. She was taken into custody by the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Rubrum which was lead by Susaya while on his visit to the battlefield. Murakamo and Hilde initially were cold towards each other but soon, She realized that the war was over for her and the two reconcile.

After Aschelmann had been released from prison on February 12, 1920, She settled in Rubrum fearing that she will be executed for treason if she returned to her homeland. She returned to Lucis on the 25th for a Commonwealth Victory Party to celebrate the end of the war. Susaya was reunited with her and the two shared a toast as a sign of forgiveness to which the troops received well. After that, Susaya would start working with Aschelmann, travelling throughout Commonwealth bases in Rubrum and Lucis to share their experiences. During one of their visits in Rubrum, Susaya was "deeply taken by her good character that he wouldn't think of anyone else." Aschelmann was deeply touched and their close bond intensified into romance.

He finally proposed to Her on the 15th of April to which she happily accepted. The two were finally married on the 25th of July at the Rubrumian Forces Base at Kingston in Ontario, Rubrum.
