Benno (Anime)

Benno (ベンノ, Benno) is a successful merchant who takes young Myne and Lutz under his wing. He is the current owner of the Gilberta Company.

Benno has a younger sister named Corinna, who is Otto's wife.

Benno has dark red eyes and curly, chin-length hair the colour of milk tea. When working in the Lower City, he wears merchant clothing consisting of a long-sleeved undershirt, vest, and necktie, as well as trousers and boots. He sometimes wears a patterned overcoat.

When meeting with nobles, Benno dresses in a formal tunic and a white cloak. He also secures his necktie with a gold fastener and slicks back his hair.

Benno has a sharp sense for business and is ambitious about making a profit. However, he shows concern for his family and friends, and is especially worried about Myne's health. He also looks out for Lutz, and is even willing to adopt him when he runs away from his family. He is frequently exasperated by Myne's unpredictable behavior. His competitive attitude makes him willing to take on risky and innovative business ventures, even those far out of his area of expertise.

Benno took over the operation of his family company (the Gilberta Company) at a young age, assisted by the loyal support of his right-hand man, Mark.

He all but raised his younger sister, Corinna, and was bemused when the traveling trader Otto spent all his savings to buy citizenship in the city of Ehrenfest to marry her.

Benno was once engaged to a woman he loved. However, by the time he was successful enough as a merchant to marry her, she had passed away. Because ownership of the Gilberta Company is traditionally is passed down to women, Benno intends for Corinna and her husband Otto to take over in the future.
