Eckhart (Anime)

Eckhart (エックハルト, Ekkuharuto) is a knight. He serves in the Knight's Order and is a trusted associate of Ferdinand.

Eckhart has dark green hair and blue eyes. He tends to maintain an impassive expression.

Compared to his colleague Justus, Eckhart is more conservative and set in his ways. He reacts with surprise when he learns that the commoner Myne has been given the status of a noble, and has trouble adjusting when they visit the lower city. However, he persists in his mission out of loyalty to Ferdinand.

When Myne joins the temple, Ferdinand assigns Justus and Eckhart to investigate her background and collect information.

Eckhart goes with Justus to the lower city, but is soon overwhelmed by the unpleasant smell and unsanitary surroundings. He rests at an inn to recover from his nausea while Justus disguises himself to question commoners around the south gate.

That night, Eckhart and Justus tail Gunther and Otto to a bar to gather additional information. They also break into the Merchant's Guild to check Myne's guild records. The next day, they visit to various craftsmen to follow up on the information from the documents. Once they are done, Eckhart wants to go back to the temple, but Justus wanders off to stroll around the market and Eckhart reluctantly follows behind him.

Later, when Myne and Ferdinand accompany the Knight's Order on a trombe extermination, Eckhart is among the knights present.
