Bonifatius

Bonifatius (ボニファティウス, Bonifatiusu) is Rozemyne’s noble grandfather and the father of Karstedt.

As a former commander of the Knight's Order and an archduke candidate of Ehrenfest, Bonifatius is a highly skilled knight. He is currently training Angelica as his disciple.

Bonifatius closely resembles his son, Karstedt. He has broad shoulders and a more muscular build than most men his age. Rozemyne thinks he has a sharp gleam in his eye.

Unlike most nobles Bonifatius greatly dislikes putting up a false face and will generally show his emotions completely openly, though he is fully capable of hiding them, should the situation require it. He is very devoted to his family, particularly the only girl among his grandchildren, Rozemyne, though he tries to keep his distance from her for fear of accidentally injuring or killing her.

While he prefers to trust his instincts and tends to leave the thinking to other people, he is still an intelligent and well trained man.

He was the son of the fifth archduke of Ehrenfest, but his brother - the Sixth Aub Ehrenfest and Sylvester's father - was chosen as the new Aub. While he had the necessary mana capacity and talent, he didn't have the desire to rule and thus willingly made way for his younger brother.

When his brother fell seriously ill before having any children capable of taking up the scepter, Bonifatius was trained to become the next Aub and shown many of the secrets that only the archduke himself may know. Thankfully his brother recovered and was able to rule until his children had become able to succeed him.

Following the advice of his family, Bonifatius kept himself at a distance from Rozemyne as he is quite expressive and she is quite fragile. Everyone - including himself - feared he may harm her accidently. He is the former commander of the Knight's Order of Ehrenfest.

 * Enhancement Magic. Bonifatius is a master of enhancement magic and so proficient and used to the skill that he often activates the enhancement on instinct without consciously being aware of it. This combined with his outgoing, emotional personality means he often goes overboard on opponents. He is not only able to enhance his strength and speed, but can also enhance his senses to superhuman levels.
