Introduction

영웅전설 섬의 궤적

A second-year student at Thors Military Academy, he is a young man in Class V, one of the commoner's classes. He is a joker and a big fan of gambling, and has a bad habit of making bets whenever he gets the chance. At crucial moments however, he acts as a "reliable older brother" and supports Rean and the others. Perhaps because they participated together in the testing of the ARCUS Tactical Orbment units, he is on good terms with Student Council President Towa Herschel, the noble Angelica Rogner, and George Nome from the Engineering Club. Recently, he has become addicted to a card game called "Blade", which seems to be spreading everywhere.

영웅전설 섬의 궤적 II

A second-year student at Thors Military Academy and a former member of Class VII before he was revealed to be the terrorist C, leader of the Imperial Liberation Front. He also happens to be the Awakener of the Azure Knight, Ordine, and uses his experience to utterly trounce Rean in combat near the end of Trails of Cold Steel. What his intentions are acting as Duke Cayenne's favorite puppet for the duration of the war is anyone's guess, but between his suddenly distant attitude and his desire to fight Rean, repairing his friendship with the rest of Class VII doesn't appear to be a part of his plans.

영웅전설 섬의 궤적 III

A mysterious masked man dressed in an azure coat who wields a pair of guns.

He seems to be an agent for a different faction, one separate from the Imperial Army, the jaeger corps, or even Ouroboros. He appears in different locations across the empire to observe the actions of the branch campus.

He closesly resembles someone very dear to Rean and the old Class VII

영웅전설 섬의 궤적 IV

A long-absent member of the old Class VII. Despite being a year ahead of Rean and the others, he ended up joining their class and spending his days as a student alongside them.

Though he was known at Thors as a friendly slacker who loved gambling, the truth was far more complicated. His student life was simply a front for his identity as leader of the Imperial Liberation Front, a group he founded to get revenge on Chancellor Osborne for annexing his home country of Jurai.

He and Rean found themselves on opposite sides during the civil war, but banded together at the end to defeat the Vermillion Apocalypse. Crow suffered a fatal wound in the battle, however, and imparted his final words to his friends in Class VII before breathing his last.

Or so everyone thought. Due to the machinations of the Gnomes, Crow was brought back to life as an Immortal by the name of Azure Siegfried. With all memories of his former life sealed away, he had no choice but to follow the Gnomes' orders.

It would seem, however, that those memories suddenly returned just as the Great Twilight began...

영웅전설 시작의 궤적

A laid-back youth and former Thors Military Academy student who studied alongside Towa, Angelica, and George before becoming a member of Class VII.

In order take revenge against Chancellor Osborne for his part in occupying Crow's hometown, Jurai, he adopted the alias C and led the terrorist organization known as the Imperial Liberation Front. Though he lost his life fighting with Rean and his comrades during the Erebonian civil war, he was later brought back as an Immortal by the Black Workshop. This had sapped him of his humanity, but it was restored due to the miraculous power of the Sept-Terrion.

After the disaster passed, he returned to Jurai for a short time. It wasn't long after his arrival, however, that he heard about a new, mysterious C leading a so-called Reborn Imperial Liberation Front and decided to investigate...

영웅전설 계의 궤적

An independent contractor who resolves cross-border disputes by way of negotiation and mediation behind the scenes. Having overcome the incidents that took place in Erebonia and Crossbell, Crow and his friends settled the tumult in his hometown of Jurai as well, after which he moved his place of work to the free city of Taslem, northeast of Calvard. In addition to riding an ETWS motorbike as his vehicle of choice, Crow contracted with the Marduk Company, upgrading his double saber to a foldable variant. It is then at Marduk's headquarters in Ored that he is greeted with the opportunity to join up once more with his Class VII partner, Rean.

Appearance

Crow is a young man with messy gray hair and red eyes. As a student of Thors Military Academy, he wore a commoner uniform consisting of a green and white blazer (worn unbuttoned and loosely) over a similarly styled pinstriped white shirt and blue tie. He wore khaki pants with brown laced-up boots worn over them, and carried two silver orbal pistols.

As C, or the Azure Chevalier, Crow wore a long brown overcoat with a azure pinstriped lining over a pinstriped crimson shirt, black trousers and boots. He brought out a double-sabre, a double-ended weapon with red handles and long blades on each side. He now wears a black headband in place of his old white one.

Siegfried is a mysterious masked man with stark white hair who wields a pair of asymmetrical golden guns. He wears a form-fitting black costume with several white crosses and a long azure coat with a tall upturned collar, violet lining, thigh high black boots and crossed gray belts.

Losing the headband and letting his hair (which is white during the Great Twilight) grow out a little bit, Crow now wears a long beige coat with a fur lined collar. He wears this over a white shirt and sleeveless azure sweater with a large white belt with a golden buckle. He uses both weapons, his saber and pistols interchangeably.

Personality

Despite being a laid‑back playboy who frequently missed lessons, Crow was highly dependable and cared greatly for his friends. Towards the end of his second year, circumstances led to him becoming a member of Class VII, wherein he developed a close bond in particular with Rean Schwarzer. Crow has shown to like to enjoy gambling and play cards games and also betting in horse racing much to chargin of Towa for Crow acting inresponsible and occassion sometime drag people along to have fun.

When Crow was revealed to be the terrorist C, leader of the Imperial Liberation Front, he claimed that everything he had been at the academy was just a façade while he waited for the right moment to assassinate Osborne. Due to the circumstances of how Erebonia forcefully merged his hometown Jurai as a Special Economic Zone taking advantage of the greed of the people of Jurai during a economic turmoil, which eventually led to the death of his grandfather, the former mayor of Jurai and his only living relative, Crow bore a strong grudge against Giliath Osborne. With the backing of the Noble Alliance, he sought to kill Osborne as one big gamble.

However, Crow does understand how his actions affected many innocent people and knows he will eventually have to fix the damage he caused and help establish peace. Although he acted under the Noble Alliance, he still cared about the well‑being of his classmates.

When Crow died and later revived as immortal and brainwashed by Black Workshop into an agent as Azure Siegfried, Crow is dismissive of what the others think they know, stating his only allegiance is to his employers and that he only cares about his mission. When Crow eventually regain memories and revert back to his original self and eventually rejoined Class VII.
