Profile[]
Introduction[]
Trails of Cold Steel[]
A stout senior in overalls who belongs to the second-year commoner class. Though he is still a student, he is in charge of the engineering building of the Military Academy, and supports Rean and the others by maintaining their ARCUS, refining their quartz, and modifying and strengthening their weapons. He has been friends with Crow, Towa, and Angelica since their first year, and there don't seem to be any status-related barriers between them. Incidentally, Angelica's Orbal Bike was something he built as part of his assignment at the end of their first year.[1]
Trails of Cold Steel II[]
A second-year student at Thors Military Academy and head of its Engineering Club. George has such a special touch for machines and technology that even the distinguished Roer Institute of Technology has taken notice, and he cheerfully puts those talents of his to good use for the members of Class VII. He might be the most ordinary among his circle of friends, but because of his positive energy and willingness to help others simply because it's the right thing to do, most can't help but think highly of him.[2]
Trails of Cold Steel III[]
A graduate of Thors and a talented young engineer with a mellow temperament. When he was a student, he was part of the original test group for the ARCUS units alongside Towa, Angelica, and Crow. During their exercises, the four of them built a friendship across social status, paving the way for the establishment of the original Class VII. George's talent with machinery has even been acknowledged by Professor Schmidt, who took him on as his third disciple. Not only was George responsible for the creation of Angelica's orbal bike, he served as the main mechanic for the Courageous during the civil war. After graduating, he set out on a journey to visit all the major orbal workshops across the continent to further his skills and gather information.[3]
Trails of Cold Steel IV[]
One of the finest engineers in Erebonia, this young man is Professor Schmidt's third disciple. He was friends with Class VII during their time at Thors Military Academy, and helped them a number of times alongside Angelica, Towa, and Crow. After graduating from Thors, he went on a journey to visit all the major orbal factories on the continent. A year and a half later, he briefly returned to Erebonia before suddenly vanishing. He then reappeared amidst the chaos in Heimdallr--not as the George his friends from Thors knew, but as Copper Georg, a member of the Gnomes working under Alberich.[4]Appearance[]
George is a young man with a large figure. He has messy brown hair and eyes and quite a pronounced nose. During his time at the academy, George wore yellow overalls, working boots and goggles. Following his graduation and subsequent 'travelling' across the continent, George wore a mustard coloured shirt, covered a black and white shirt worn unbuttoned and a long cream coloured coat with deep pockets. He wore loose working chaps and leather boots.
Personality[]
Possessing a brilliant mind, George displays a happy and helpful personality. He cares about his friends and is willing to do his all in supporting others.
Behind the scenes, George served as a Gnome, maintaining his friendship with the others as a simple farce to cover his true duties. Initially shown to be cold and calculating, George's time with his friends caused him to significantly falter. Whereas he would complete orders with no questions asked, if they involved his former friends, he would often have doubts and somehow find a way to allow them to survive. After being released from the Gnomes' service, George realized his errors and although he was warmly welcomed back by his friends and resolved to carry on, he continues to be ashamed of his own actions.
Trivia[]
- Of the 39 playable characters in Trails of Cold Steel IV, George is one of only four who does not have an S-Craft. The others are Ines, Celine and Ennea. He gains one in Trails into Reverie, whilst Celine does not. Ines and Ennea aren't playable in it.
- By bombing the Courageous, George indirectly sparked the start of love between Olivert and Scherazard.
- His name, George Nome, hints at his true nature as it abbreviates to "G. Nome," or "Gnome."
