When Lapitus was trying to plan out how to actually go about carrying out his coup, he found that his first and perhaps biggest roadblock was Kalidus, for he led all of Petrino's men.
But the problem here was that although he managed to accurately find the target, trying to think of a feasible way to take the man out without arousing a huge commotion in the process proved surprisingly difficult.
The man was a great commander with an almost fanatical zeal when it came to defending the city.
A fact that was shown by how he had reacted upon learning of Lord Ponticus's death.
Like many others, the old man had broken down and bawled his eyes out.
But not out of the sadness of the loss of his former master.
He only lamented how he could not have died beside him.
In that battle, Kalidus was not actually with Lord Ponticus's group.
