Jerome Jean de Beilschmidt

Margrave Jerome Jean de Beilschmidt, the Hero of Erstein. Brigadier General and commander of the Black Knights. Former commander of the Beilschmidt Border Regiment.

## Personality

Jerome hates people who look down on him. His personal motto is: "You are trash. But you are a useful trash. And my principle is to use anyone that is useful, even if they are just a speck of dust."

## Appearance

He was first seen wearing general grade attire. Muscles could be seen from the chest that were exposed due to his untidy attire. He is tall with broad shoulders. His black hair is combed back and he sported a stubby beard. In addition, he is in his mid-20s with light brown skin and sharp eyes. A very handsome man.

During his duel with Altina Jerome did not wear armor, just normal attire of a black shirt with military pants. He was holding a short spear used by foot soldiers in the forest.

## Background

Jerome is the eldest son of a knight.

He won his first victory at 14, supplementing his aristocratic life. He followed up with a string of battle honors. Among these honors, the one worth mentioning would be the Battle of Erstein with the neighboring country of the Germania federation.

Jerome led the Bulgarian army to victory as the "Hero of Erstein." As commendation for his actions, he was promoted from first grade combat officer to brigadier general. In addition, rewarded the nobility title of Margrave and the northern territory which was renamed Beilschmidt in honor Jerome. That was when he was 20 years old.

His life took a down turn after his promotion. Those who were promoted because of ability were ostracized by the jealous people in power. Those so called heroes were wary of Jerome who was made a general in less than half a year. They drove him out of his homeland in the empire. On the surface, his "reward" included renaming the territory after Jerome's family name Beilschmidt, but it was actually just a means to ostracize him. After this, the name of the hero Jerome faded into the background.

Three years later, the 4th princess Marie Quatre Argentina de Belgaria was promoted to Major General and sent to the Beilschmidt to serve as the commander of the Beilschmidt Border Regiment. This was in an attempt to exile her.

Normally, the original commander would be posted to another unit. But Altina was a novice while Sierck Fortress was a strategic position in the north. It might be by the emperor's edict, but transferring Jerome away was too stupid of a move to make.

So because of a political power struggle a 14 year old girl became his commanding officer.

## Abilities

Jerome had never lost a duel before and is very capable in commanding troops.

He has exceptional leaping powers.

Le Cheveu D'une Dame (Dame’s hair): It is famous as the weapon of heroes. The lance is 4.2Pa (311cm) long, the tip is made from fairy silver. It is powerful and capable of matching Grand Tonnerre Quatre. It is meant for horseback usage. It is difficult to wield it for a battle on foot.

As Jerome thrust with his lance, the attack is so sharp even bystanders can tell from afar that it is better than an attack from other knights. The lance shoots forward in an instant.

Short Spear: He owns a short spear used by foot soldiers in the forest. It was about 27Pa (2m) long, about the length of Grand Tonnerre Quatre. In addition, it is made from elf silver.
