He is a very delicate, poetic, and stylish young man who enjoys talking about the beauty in the world. His personality doesn't seem to be a good match with Fang's.
* Galdo - Galdo is a Fencer employed under the Dorfa Corporation. He is actually quite warm-hearted and has a passionate soul. He uses a scythe-shaped Fury to fight Fang when they first meet.
* Paiga - Paiga is one of the Four Heavenly Czars of the Dorfa Corporation. He is a Fencer but rarely fights, overseeing battleground activities as a commander.
