Matthias

Matthias (マティアス, Matiasu) is a mednoble apprentice knight and the youngest son of Giebe Gerlach. His parents belong to the former Veronica faction.

He is a student at the Royal Academy and will soon enter his fourth year.

Matthias has dark purple hair and blue eyes. He has a slender build, despite his dedication to training.

Serious and introspective by nature, Matthias prefers to think carefully before making decisions. His friend Laurenz teasingly refers to him as a "worrywart".

Matthias also has a strong sense of responsibility. He wants to make his own choices about who to serve in the future, without basing his decisions on his family's opinions.

As the youngest son of Giebe Gerlach, Matthias was born into the former Veronica faction. He grew up as childhood friends with Laurenz, a child of the same faction who lived in the nearby province. However, Matthias grew to feel defiant toward his father after seeing Rozemyne's accomplishments at the Royal Academy.

Growing up, Matthias began to suspect that his father might be loyal to Georgine, rather than to the nobles of Ehrenfest. That doubt was reinforced when his father was called as a suspect after Charlotte's attempted kidnapping.


 * Matthias is a bit self conscious about his comparetively short height. He is also dismayed that despite his physical training he remains slender and thus thinks he looks more like a scholar than a knight.
