When the Sechs invades Selphia to steal the Rune Spheres, Doug tries to stop them and is injured in an attempt to protect Blossom.

His conflicting feelings continue to grow, especially after the revelation of Ventuswill's true nature.

Because of this, the player can only have up to a level 3 relationship with Doug until the main and post-game story is beaten. He also reports back to the Sechs Empire about the Rune Spheres, running into the player in Water Ruins while conducting espionage. Throughout the main story, he expresses his grudge against Ventuswill and the town's (as well as the player's) seemingly blind love for her. However, he is warmly welcomed by both Blossom and the rest of the town, and quickly became attached to them. He was told by the Sechs that his parents were killed by Ventuswill, which fueled his desire for revenge and hatred against Ventuswill.

Doug was initially sent to Selphia as a spy for the Sechs Empire.
