Biography
Boutice was among the church's templar knights that attacked the Melusine Pirates in order to capture the "Saint of the Western Seas". He fought against Mania and Ned Peak, defeating the former. As the tide of the battle was going against the pirates, they were soon rescued by several members of the Liberators. Boutice and Saleos Holt attacked Naiz Gruen Caliente after the Liberator teleported to their location and killed several other knights with his own Ancient Magic. He was easily able to block the two knights' attacks and countered Saleos' Sacred Beast Fangs with a much more powerful version (much to his shock). As Saleos was about to be struck by Naiz's attack, Boutice fired a shockwave from his tower shield to knock Saleos away to safety. Naiz then killed several more knights before preparing to kill Saleos and Boutice, but was stopped by the arrival of Templar Knights Division Commander Araym Orcman. Despite the extra assistance, Saleos was eventually killed by Naiz. After the battle, Boutice was the surviving knights that were forced to retreat.

Boutice would get a second chance to fight the Liberators at the battle at Andika. During the battle, the apostle Ahat (disguised as Ace) had broken the seal on Divine Beast Leviathan and the ginormous creature created massive tidal waves as it surface from its prison. Boutice charged at the Liberator, Oscar Orcus, but was forced to shield himself against an attack by one of Oscar's "Shadow Knights", knocking him backward. Then fellow Templar knight Lelaie Argeson fired her "Arrows of Atonement" at Oscar, but to her surprise, Oscar was able to block them, to which he then follow up, by unleashing his "Mage Blades" at her, Boutice stepped in to protect her from the blades using his atavist skill, "Rampart", but unfortunately for him, they had proven too much for him as they had completely obliterated his weapons and equipment, along with severely charring his body from head to toe. Oscar then pointed the ferrule of his umbrella at Boutice and fired his sniper arrow. It shot out and pierced Boutice’s heart. Then, to make sure he was dead, it sent a blast of electricity through his body. His punctured heart went into cardiac arrest, and Boutice plummeted down.
