"Despising the weak is the same for Flame Haze as it is for humans, huh... In the end, humans are still humans, no matter where they are."
—About humans' nature even after becoming Flame Haze.

Clemens Rott (クレメンス・ロット Kuremensu Rotto?) was an Austrian veteran Flame Haze and the partner of Cecilia Rodrigo after the Great War. His title was "Piercer of Hidden Arms" (戈伏の衝き手 Kafuku no Tsukite?). He only appears in Verger, a side story which occured years before the main story's beginning.

Appearance[]

...

Personality[]

He appeared to be carefree man and talks casually. His good nature and advertence seem to be the reason why Cecilia is interested in him.

Background[]

Great War's Stray Child[]

Cecilia Rodrigo made an acquaintance with Clemens during the Great War, after she became one of the newly contracted Flame Haze (these generation of Flame Haze are later referred to as "Sophie's Children"). At that time, Clemens worked as the communication staff because of the nature of his power not suitable for group battle.

After the war ended, Cecilia, who only became Flame Haze at the start of the Great War, felt lost and was wandering alone until Clemens found her and asked her to become his partner. She started to have feelings for Clemens and wanted to know more about his past but he never told much about himself. The only thing he told her was about is his hometown in Austria which he ended up regretting doing so.

Plot[]

One year before the events of Verger, Clemens was killed by Ōnamuchi after their multiple encounters. He pushed Cecilia out of danger into the sea from the cliff. After losing her partner, Cecilia was fixated on retrieving his remaining legacy from his hometown, a village in Austria. But she was stopped by Ōnamuchi, who in turn followed Clemens' last request to "keep Cecilia away from getting the memento no matter what".

Relationships[]

Cecilia Rodrigo[]

For the weak-minded and unsociable Cecilia, he was a very trustworthy man who reached out his hand to her. After Clemens asked Cecilia to join him as partners to fight Crimson Denizens, the two became close and inseparable in battle as he was proficient in offence and hers in defense. It was not fully revealed about his feelings toward Cecilia, but he was willing to sacrifice himself in order for her to live on.

Powers and Abilities[]

Clemens used the unnamed Unrestricted Spell which was described as both invisible and unknowable. This power was deadly since it was almost impossible to counter. But because of his power's nature, it was not suitable for the war that he had to fight along with comrades like the Great War. Thus, he was commissioned as a communication officer during the war.

Pairing with Cecilia, who used the defensive spell Alcázar, they became like a pair of spear and shield that were formidable even for a veteran Crimson Lord like Ōnamuchi.[1]
