Adelbert Steiner (often referred to as "Steiner" or "Rusty") is the Captain of The Knights of Pluto, a group of misfit dope soldiers of the kingdom of Alexandria. While he is in charge of such a motley crew, he does have high ranking, only behind the royal family, Beatrix, and Zorn and Thorn.
Throughout his adventures with Zidane, he grows from strongly disliking him to have a great respect for him. He holds a deep friendship with Vivi and trusts his judgement, which makes them a powerful duo in battle. As a constant through the travels of the party, he remains steadfastly loyal to Princess Garnet. He has a great moral dilemma when he is no longer sure if he can continue to follow the orders of the Queen. He at first hinders but ends up helping the Princess throughout their journey, as his primary duty is to protect her at all costs. Ultimately he falls in love with Beatrix and they form a relationship, as is shown in the final cutscene of the game where, together, they hold of Beatrix's Save the Queen sword up high, as a sign of their love, and the unity and peace in all of Gaia
