Profile

Introduction

영웅전설 섬의 궤적 III

The younger son of the emperor of Erebonia and legitimate heir to the throne. He had a kind, pure, and slightly introverted personality and looked up to his brother, Olivert. Together with his twin sister, Alfin, the three made for a loving set of siblings. During the civil war, he was kidnapped and used by Duke Cayenne to awaken the Vermillion Apocalypse sealed beneath the Imperial castle. However, thanks to Class VII's help, he was freed from its clutches. In severe shock as a result of this experience, his body and mind were slow to recover. In fact, his health was so poor that he was unable to enroll at Thors Military Academy and was forced to wait another year. However, after that year of waiting, he appears at Thors' main campus stronger and more confident than ever, as though he had become a completely different person.

영웅전설 섬의 궤적 IV

The legitimate heir of Emperor Eugent III and first in line for the throne. Growing up, Cedric had a kind and gentle personality and was on good terms with his older brother, Olivert and his twin sister, Alfin. However, after being used as the Vermillion Apocalypse's core at the end of the civil war, his body and soul were thrown out of balance. A year and a half later, he had recovered and enrolled in Thors, but seemed to be a completely different person, both in terms of personality and his skill with a sword. He appears to idolize Chancellor Osborne and is willing to use his position as Crown Prince to help him bring about the calamity Erebonia now faces. Further, now that Cedric has become the Vermillion Awakener, he seems to show an obsession with the power his Knight wields...

Appearance

Cedric is a young man with short blonde hair and bright blue eyes, traits he shares with other members of his family. In his first appearance as Imperial prince, he wears a coat of red, black and gold, with a white shirt, cravat and trousers, and black boots.

As he gets older, he becomes much taller and more well built. He is usually seen wearing the new uniform of Thors Military Academy, consisting of a red and black blazer with gold accents, black trousers and brown leather shoes.

Cedric uses an ornate double-edged sabre in combat, with a gold handle and guard, and a red fuller stretching down the blade.

Personality

Cedric has always been known as a kind and gentle boy, albeit timid and lacking the self-confidence, strength and determination required to rule a kingdom. Although aware of this, he is plagued with self-guilt over his inability to stand out, as he even considers his sister Alfin to be better than him. He considered Olivert and Chancellor Giliath Osborne to be ideal models. This awakens a small tint of jealousy inside him, but it is not potent enough to overwrite his thinking and personality. As a result, he grows an inferiority complex towards his siblings.

Following a recovery after being forcibly used to awaken Testa-Rossa during the end of the Erebonian Civil War, Cedric returned as completely different person. He was much more confident and arrogant in his ways, lacking his past self's timidness and meekness. The Erebonian Curse was said to have influenced Cedric's change of personality. His past friendship with Kurt Vander had also become strained by that point with Cedric beginning to mock Kurt casually in front of his friends and Classmates.

Once he joined Osborne and the other Ironblood members, he was willing to help them spread the Erebonian Curse throughout the country and managed to convince the entire Thors Main Campus to help them achieve their goals. Once the Nameless One was awakened and they prepared to kill it, Cedric was willing to choke Altina Orion to death so she would become the weapon they needed to kill the corrupted Holy Beast.

After the events of Cold Steel III, the curse had eroded Cedric until the point where he becomes somehow arrogant and drunk in power after obtaining Tessa-Rosa. He is also annoyed at the fact that he cannot defeat Kurt, Ash and Juna who are piloting Panzer Soldats, and is now a person who is willing to get revenge on those who have put a dent on his pride. His relationship with Kurt had also become antagonistic with Kurt disgusted by how far he had fallen.

He seemed to not care about his siblings' wellbeing anymore as he is now a person who wanted to "change the world" like Osborne, and is willing to put aside his personal feelings to achieve that goal. He also seemingly didn't care that the rest of the students from Thors Main Campus eventually stopped following him and Osborne.

Right before his Rivalry fight with Class VII however, Cedric began to realize that he was letting the curse influence his actions when Class VII asked him what he was so afraid of and reminded him that he would eventually have to fight Osborne himself if he won their Rivalry battle. While he was disgusted by how he had been acting under the influence of the curse, he still decided to fight them alongside Shirley after she reminded him why he originally wanted to help Osborne to show them his newfound resolve.

Even after his loss, his friendship with Kurt begins to mend after he told him not to take his loss so seriously and that they should continue as friends and rivals before he passed out from exhaustion. His new resolve also gave him curiosity, as he expressed interest in exploring Zemuria and believing that joining Ouroboros would be the only way to experience it properly.

During Cedric's Enforcer training, he began to realize that his pride and his identity of being the crown prince of Erebonia was holding him back and eventually let them go in order to finish his training. After becoming Enforcer XIX, Cedric learned of his older brother's wedding and watched it from a distance, showing that his love for his siblings had been restored.

Trivia

• Cedric's corresponding Tarot number (XIX- The Sun) reflects his overconfidence and optimism regarding his position and abilities. It also represents his willingness to abandon his royal responsibilities upon joining the Society. Further links include the Sun being a beacon of light and warmth, just like his role as one of 'Erebonia's greatest treasures' and a source of motivation and pride for its citizens. He also uses a variety of fire themed crafts and sports warm, fiery colours in his colour scheme.
