Crow Armbrust (クロウ・アームブラスト) is introduced as a student at Thors Military Academy's Class V and a member of the ARCUS test team alongside Towa Herschel, George Nome and Angelica Rogner. He later became a member of Class VII.
Profile[]
Introduction[]
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.[3]
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.
Despite his original personality, as 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.
