Machias Regnitz (マキアス・レーグニッツ) is the son of Heimdallr governor Carl Regnitz and introduced as a member of Thors Military Academy's Class VII.

Profile

A hard worker and prodigy student, Machias is an overachiever who holds himself to strict standards, and expects much of the same from his classmates. He regrets losing the top score on the Thors Military Academy entrance exam to Emma Millstein, which further fuels his drive to succeed and leads to a friendly rivalry with her.

Machias is very studious, and is a person who takes his studies very seriously. Even during the Erebonian Civil War, he carries on with his studies as if there were no interruptions, fearing that he may fall behind otherwise. Similarly to his father, Machias enjoys coffee after a hectic day.

Machias is often quick to anger, frequently getting into verbal confrontations with certain classmates over political, academic, and social issues.

Childhood

Machias was born in Heimdallr in S.1187, to Carl Regnitz and an unnamed mother.

Machias had a cousin named Elsa, of whom he was very close too, regarding her as a sister. At the time, Elsa had been dating Arthur, Carl's subordinate, and the two started a relationship, which Arthur's family did not approve of. As a result, she faced harassment and death threats from Arthur's family, and the relationship soon fell apart. Overwhelmed by grief, she committed suicide. The affair enraged both Machias and his father.

While Machias continued to rage at the incident, Carl decided to take matter into his own hands, eventually becoming the first commoner governor of Heimdallr, albeit his view of nobility had since mellowed. Machias eventually ended up enrolling at Thors Military Academy; rather then being placed into Classes III, IV or V (the commoner classes), he was placed into the special Class VII, a mix of commoners and nobles.

Trails of Cold Steel I and II

Machias makes his deep-seated hatred towards nobility known soon upon arrival, expressing his beliefs immediately following his assignment to Class VII after the Entrance Ceremony. Because of this, he instantly antagonizes his noble classmates, especially Jusis Albarea, a fellow member of Class VII. He gets along well with his commoner classmates, initially including Rean, but soon cuts off ties with him after learning that he kept his noble status hidden from him.

His feud with Jusis reaches a boiling point during a field study in Bareahard, where he begins arguing with Jusis over a failed combat link, only for the monster they defeated to injure Rean. Overwhelmed with guilt, Machias uses the experience to re-evaluate his beliefs and tries to make amends with everyone, especially Jusis after overhearing that his mother was a commoner. The following morning, he apologizes to Jusis, before he is inexplicably arrested by the provincial army with no cause. It is later revealed that Helmut had ordered his arrest in an attempt to blackmail Carl, who was Osborne's political right-hand man. Machias' classmates later free him from the provincial army's custody.

Following the Bareahard field study, he begins to see his classmates not only as colleagues, but also as close friends. Despite his early prejudices against nobility, his time with Class VII has greatly broadened his views, accepting the fact that there are good-natured nobles in the world.

During the Erebonian Civil War, Machias escapes from the Academy along with Elliot Craig and Fie Claussell, and goes into hiding with them in Celdic. After reuniting with Rean Schwarzer, he rejoins Class VII to aid in the war effort.

Trails of Cold Steel III and IV

Following the conclusion of the Erebonian Civil War and graduating from Thors Military Academy, Machias decides to enter into a career in politics, enrolling at the political academy at Heimdallr. He graduated in only a year, meaning he could assume office as investigator for the Government Accountability Inspectorate at the age of 19.
