“Come, Zector!”
— Rutger Claussell, summoning Zector
Zector, The Palatinate Knight (《紫紺の騎神》 ゼクトール) is one of the seven Divine Knights of Erebonia.
Background[]
Black Alberich described Zector, Ordine and Valimar as being the weakest of the Divine Knights.
An unnamed mercenary under the employ of Sixth Prince Lucius Reise Arnor was Zector's Awakener in the past, during the War of the Lions.
Zector's final Awakener was also a mercenary; more specifically, a Jaeger named Rutger Claussell. In S.1203, Black Alberich orchestrated a legendary battle between the two strongest jaegers in Western Zemuria: Rutger and Baldur Orlando. Both of them were selected as potential Awakeners of Zector. The two died at the end of their three-day-and-night-long battle, but due to Alberich's preparations, one of them were to be revived as Zector's Immortal Awakener.
By S.1206, Rutger had long since been revived as Zector's Awakener, and used it to fend off the soldats of New Class VII on the outskirts of Hamel.
In one of the Spirit Shrines, Rutger and Zector held the Second Rivalry against Rean Schwarzer piloting Valimar (assisted by secondary contractor Crow Armbrust piloting Ordine). Rutger lost the Rivalry and Zector was absorbed into Valimar, causing Rutger's death.
