When the Monstrums are requested by Marius to dispose of the remaining homunculi, it is revealed that Parks is actually the missing Cardinal Lindheim, the governor general of Gllia. During his inspection of the prison, he saw an inmate that looked just like Marius, the current emperor of Romn. Parks proceeded to investigate as an undercover prisoner, not knowing that who he saw was just a homunculus of Marius.
Before Adol leaves Balduq, Parks adopts Iris and uses his post as governor general to issue an adventuring charter to Adol, allowing him the freedom to engage in the free exploration of the Gllia Erdlingen province.
