Although Schelgerman is shown as an intelligent and calm, he is demonstrated to be very violent towards his enemies. He is very affectionate and loving to all young children, this being his lingering regret that his wife died before he could have any of his own. Schelgerman hated war, even though he was Field Marshal, his situation compares considerably with Nazologia's.

## Background

Schelgerman was originally a Shepard in the early country of Ospey, until a war happened. The war happened between the twin unions of both Ospey and Crietho. Schelgerman was mighty during the war, evolving from Private all the way to Major and eventually to Field Marshall. He was extremely tough during the war and was admired as a strong leader due to his lust for revenge at his wife's death, until he was presumed to have died when the barrack he was staying in exploded from fires.

Schelgerman was in-fact, the sole survivor of the attack and was found by Pandora Squall. She took his injured body away from the battle and into her private Kirche facility, where she tested upon him for many years. His body became un-aging due to Pandora's experiments and he finally awoke after Twelve-Years of imprisonment. Schelgerman was extremely grateful to Pandora for saving his life and became on of her subordinates in Kirche. He quickly rose through the ranks of Kirche and even outmatched the Archbishop's, becoming Denzel Rogers's second, The Mitinhaber.

He also founded a society called the "Special Service" and the Gevruthven Academy. Schelgerman had ordered the Special Service to do many "strange" things at times that were never fully traced back to them, a lot like Administration μ. He also formed his school: The Gevruthven Academy. He was very kind to the students, treating them like his own children that he never had, due to his wife's unexpected death. Due to his work however, Schelgerman was forced to leave the school, leaving it to his close friend: Leion Basclitch. Schelgerman continued his devotion to Kirche for the next Three Hundred and Fifty years, right through the events of Their Dark Devices.

## Equipment

Cane: Schelgerman often carries a thin black cane with a fancy, curved handle. This cane is often used to block or absorb the attacks of his opponents. Oddly, there is an extremely thin, flat sword concealed within it. It is unknown where Schelgerman received this cane, though its probable that he fashioned it himself.

Hand Fan: There is always a heavily embroidered hand fan kept within his trench-coat pocket that can deflect Aether attacks itself. The fan was made by Pandora Squall as a token of gratitude to Schelgerman's service.
