After some intel from Professor Alba while at the Zeiss Bracer Guild, he learns that black-clad soldiers chased Alba out of Esmelas Tower. The party then heads to Carnelia Tower.
When they reach Carnelia Tower, the group is attacked by the same dogs who attacked the Krone Pass in Bose. After climbing the tower, the party finds the black-clad soldiers and they fight. After a hard fight, the soldiers call an airship to escape with Professor Russel. Right before the party runs at the best possible time to get onto the airship to save Russell, Tita comes in shoot the air carrier with her orbal cannon. In retaliation, the soldiers shoot a bullet for Tita where Agate takes the bullet for Tita instead. The soldiers then escape successfully with the professor.

After the party scales down the tower and reaches the Ritter Roadway, they see Zane, and Agate soon collapses as the bullet he took was poisonous.
After the party brings Agate to the infirmary, the party find some Zemuria Moss to aid the local Septian Church in his recovery with Zane. After being treated with the medication, Tita always goes to tend Agate during the few days he was still in the infirmary. While doing so, Tita hears Agate spurt out "Mischa" which sparks some confusion.
When Agate recovers, he received some up to date info on Professor Russell's kidnapping. Russell is at Leiston Fortress, and he is being kept somewhere. The party decide to use a device to avoid orbmental detection and they decide to use cargo to hide when cargo is being delivered. On the airship ride, Tita asks Agate about who Micsha is where Agate replies as his little sister from his home village. After the party sneaks into the fortress successfully, they get out of the cargo at night.
They soon find Professor Russell in the research and development section talking to Cid, Amalthea, and Richard. The three want Russell to experiment on the Black Orbment for them so they can get more info on it to which Russell berates them for what they've done. After the three leave, the party easily dispatches the black-clad soldiers guarding the door and retrieve Russell. Soon an alarm to the professor's escape causes the party to find an emergency evacuation. They soon meet the Sky Bandits by accident in jail on one occasion, but fortunately a hidden voice lets them in to a secret passage. That voice was Cid who tells them that he was working for Richard, because his family is held hostage. After Cid helps them escape, the whole group decides to split the group. Agate, Tita, and Professor Russell are going to be hiding out of contact so they won't be found while Estelle and Joshua are going to Grancel to alert the Bracer Guild there of the situation at hand. Agate's group then goes to continuously travel to evade detection.
Turmoil in the Royal City - Final Chapter
While traveling away from the Intelligence Division with Professor Russell and Tita, Agate sneaks them all on an airliner to Grancel. Agate does this as he believes that hiding in plain sight is the best course of action to get away from the group.

The Legend of Heroes: Sora no Kiseki The 3rd
The sixth Star Door shows us an event taking place at Regart's lair between Agate and the three Black Ravens. The Boss of the group decides to conduct a test to his three best guys in making them reach the top of the mountain and then beat him. A dispute occurs in the group but they managed to settle the problem and defeat their boss who was proud of them . This test came as the culminating point of their training.
Battle
In combat, Agate is a pure physical character that has little chance of developing useful magic skills. In the first installment he's relatively less useful due to his poor combination of magic skills and rather limited selection of combat skills. His crafts are still useful as he contains an ability to increase his CP gauge at the cost of some of his (already very high) HP. This allows him to perform many crafts very quickly and gives him his pure physical and warrior status.
However, from the second installment on he becomes incredibly powerful as one of his skill's new level allows him to basically spam super moves indefinitely, along with a 3rd super move "Dragon Dive" that is a powerful attack on all enemies. He thus rapidly becomes one of the best combat-oriented characters in the game.
Agate's Orbment consists of three lines which greatly limits his arts' potential. 2 of his slots also require only Fire Quartz. Even with using fire arts, he would never be able to get into the high level arts due to his orbment structure. Therefore increasing parameters is all that his Orbment can mostly do
