Michael Irving (ミハイル・アーヴィング
Contents
Profile
Michael is a straight-laced devoted soldier. He is considered both professional and loyal.
He was born as Michael Rieveldt, but assumed his mother's last name after his father was exposed in a scandal.
Childhood
Michael Rieveldt is a son of the Vice-President of the Rieveldt Company. They were always very close to the other Rieveldt family until the accident that took the lives of Claire's father, mother and little brother. After that Claire was taken in to their family and Michael was a reliable older brother to Claire.
Claire soon discovered and exposed her uncle's scheme in which Michael's father was selling low-quality Rieveldt products as premium ones, which Claire's father had tried to stop. Following the scandal, his mother decided to drop "Rieveldt" in favor of "Irving", with Michael following suit.
Joining the Military Police
Michael joined the Railway Military Police around the same time as Claire Rieveldt, whom he considers a rival at heart. Michael is very strict with Claire and that is his slightly awkward way of being concerned about his adoptive sister.
Trails of Cold Steel II
During the Erebonian Civil War, Michael lent his support to the Imperial Army and fought alongside Olivert Reise Arnor when the military was overpowered.
Trails of Cold Steel III
The real purpose behind Michael's transfer to Thors Branch Campus is twofold. First, he is to monitor the principal and former provincial army commander Aurelia Le Guin. Second, he is responsible for using the classes of the school as counter-measures against the possible actions of Ouroboros and the Jaegers, of which he possesses special intelligence.
Trails of Cold Steel IV
Michael decided to remain with the Railway Military Police and accompanied Thors Military Academy students and instructors to occupy Thors Branch Campus following the Great Twilight. He had deployed railway guns to ensure that Class VII would not be able to escape. When the Pantagruel appeared, Michael quickly realized they were outnumbered and persuaded Cedric to retreat.
Michael led Class I against Class VII at Einhel Keep, only to be defeated. He continued to support the students rather than return to his duties.

Trivia
- In Dengeki PlayStation 536, Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo comments that "Michael Irving is a real military man [...]". The only other appearance of the name "Irving" in the series is in Moon Door 2 of Trails in the Sky The 3rd, where General Morgan's son and daughter-in-law, Irving and Rachel, are in the final month of the pregnancy of their soon to be born child, Rianne. In Trails in the Sky FC and SC, Rianne lives with her grandparents in the City of Grancel while her parents are unmentioned. It is believed that Major Michael is the father of Rianne and thus the son of General Morgan.[3] Neither Famitsu nor the official Trails of Cold Steel III website, however, mention the name "Irving".
