Aranleif

was one of the three Rulers of Dragonia. He died, along with his seven followers, in a battle against 3,496 Ex-Machina. His Far Cry diverted under Schwi's suggestion is what resulted in the destruction of Riku's village.

Considering the fact that Ex-Machina would not attack other races unprovoked, it's probably Aranrave's party that started the fight.
