There is no mention of Dias in the manual except for news of a man calling himself the Pope appearing on Melanat. Presumably that would mean that Dias was up to no good on Melanat before the disappearance of the Moonlight sword, but it seems that the force of knights were sent before the Moonlight sword disappeared. So Aleph arrives just after. I think it says demons wrecked his vessel, but I am not sure. It says Aleph happened to study with Jean because Hauser was a renowned swords master and trained the royals in swordsmanship.
PS: I haven't had thoughts about a game VIII, but it seems to me that playing as Milia would be a good way to go, because I don't see anyway to continue from the story of VII as conceived so far. I think maybe the vampires aren't really immortals, they just keep producing new bodies in those vats and somehow transfer memory over. But maybe by game VII they have perfected immortality with science like techniques. They have a millennia or so to work with, so their science should be more powerful than what we have to work with.
Anyway, I think since Milia is kind of a constant. It would be very interesting to bookend the series by playing through her entire life more or less. If she was the Dragon of the Forest, you'd start with that trial. And just kind of see everything through her eyes, until you catch up with the time of the third trilogy, and then play out the rest of her story. I see her betraying the dragons ultimately, so to create a world without dragons that looks like our world. I think this would be the natural end of the series, 9 games seems like a good number to stop at. If something came after it would be set in a contemporary like world without magic anyway. Which could be interesting too (maybe that could be spinoff series called KF X)
Milia seems like the only character that would have the authority to break the proposed seal on Seath. Maybe she ventures inside and finds sympathy with the people living in there. BTW. Seath does kind of sound like Set. Just saying. I think Milia would be a kind of mother nature figure if she ended the age of magic, which seems fitting if she is a faerie / of the Forest.
The 9th game would have you playing a new character. I think there's never been a showdown between the Dark Slayer and Moonlight. That seems like the perfect way to end a 9th game. Player 1 would wield the Moonlight. And I see it ultimately shattering the Dark Slayer into many shards, and then the vampires all swarm onto the shards each taking one away. So that's how magic and monsters survive into the modern world. And the Moonlight sword is buried somewhere. I think it would be a good gesture to set this game in the Easter kingdom that would look like Japan and figure out where From's offices are and bury the Moonlight there.
Then the 9th game could end with images that look like the modern world, and some kid making a game with the Sword of Moonlight program. I like little touches like that. The End?
