A globetrotter who sought treasures and relics never seen before. Though he was a widely respected archaeologist, known for his research on ancient civilizations and hidden cultures, Montana's secret fear was that his handsome, rugged appearance, together with his irresistible charisma, meant that he would never be taken seriously as a scholar.

Background Story

2★	A globetrotter who sought treasures and relics never seen before. Though he was a widely respected archaeologist, known for his research on ancient civilizations and hidden cultures, Montana's secret fear was that his handsome, rugged appearance, together with his irresistible charisma, meant that he would never be taken seriously as a scholar.
3★	An adventurer who traveled the world, seeking hidden relics and forbidden treasures. Montana held a certain stature in the archaeological community and kept his loot meticulously cataloged. Upon his death, however, his extensive collection of cultural assets, gathered over a lifetime, vanished, and he became the subject of legends.

Fusion

2★	Hah! I feel like I'm made of cork! I'm as light as a leaf on the breeze. No relic will escape my grasp!
3★	Perfect! Hidden treasures and enemy weaknesses are as plain as day to me now!

Awakening

2★	<blank>
3★	Yeah, I've had some adventures. Look, you can't be a serious archaeologist without breaking a few vases, you know?

Summon

2★	Hey, are you an adventurer too? Sounds dangerous and exciting. Let me help with your field research!
3★	In the middle of an adventure, eh? I used to be the king of adventurers! You could use a serious academic like me!

Trust Mastery

You know, I've always dreamed of having an adventure like this. Thanks for making that dream come true.

Notes

Gameplay

• Can be obtained through standard summons using friend points.
• Given his background story, he was deemed notable to Helena in the main story and A Promise Beyond Time.

Trivia

• Montana is likely a play on the name of "Indiana Jones" which his character resembles highly. This is further pushed by another character closely related in lore and in style: Helena, who has a Crystal Skull, and is named in the same way as Montana by being named after the capital city of the real life U.S. state.
