Kiriya Mountbatten, First Sea Lord (30 November 1900 - 25 April 1980) was a Lucian Royal Navy officer and statesman. He is known as the granduncle of Queen Lunafreya Nox Fleuret. During the Second Europan War, he was Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, Asianna Command. He is often known for his disagreements with the Concordian Southeast Asianna Command, in which one of the controversial events was the Concordian command going against Mountbatten's plan to send Allied forces to Joyonghea. Despite numerous attempts to place him out of command, Mountbatten's record remained untarnished.

From 1955 to 1965, Mountbatten was First Sea Lord, a position that had been held by his father some forty years earlier. Thereafter he served as Chief of the Defence Staff until 1965, making him the longest-serving professional head of the Lucis Armed Forces to date. During this period Mountbatten also served as Chairman of the Europan Military Committee for a year.

In 1980, Mountbatten, his grandson Nicholas, and two others were killed by a bomb set by members of the Provisional Niflheimian Republican Army. In response, the Lucis Army, along with the MI6 arrested and executed its perpetrators.

Legacy

Mountbatten took pride in enhancing intercultural understanding and in 1984, with his elder daughter as the patron, the Mountbatten Institute was developed to allow young adults the opportunity to enhance their intercultural appreciation and experience by spending time abroad.

Field Marshal Sir Daidoji Kitagawa, a close friend of Mountbatten, named one of his grandsons, Kiriya Kitagawa after him. Kiriya would later go on to be one of the Lucis Army's finest commanders and leading commander.
