His main objective was to gain intelligence about the Western Continent, home of the Alvarez Empire, which attempted to invade Ishgar in X781 to obtain Lumen Histoire, but were dissuaded by the threat of Etherion and Face. Overlooking their disobedience, Mest then shares his memories about his undercover mission in the Magic Council.
