Erhart Hawke

* Anime
* LN

**Erhart Hawke** is a character in the Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent series. He is the second in command of the Royal Magi Assembly and the second son of the Hawke Family. He is the older brother of Albert Hawke.

## Appearance

Erhart has long silver hair and teal blue eyes. He wears a blue mage's robe with a white cloak, and a pair of rectangular spectacles. His hair color is the similar to that of his mother, Claudia Hawke.

## Personality

Erhart is very stoic in nature. He rarely smiles. It is said that he and Albert have an aversion to members of the opposite sex after seeing the deplorable actions of some noble girls in their attempt to win the hand and heart of their eldest brother, Josef Hawke; as a result, both generally give women the cold shoulder as well as avoid social opportunities as much as possible.

> "With age, both Erhart and Albert had eased up on their avoidance of women. However, they still limited their interactions to work-related matters and never smiled or behaved amiably towards them—to say nothing of hoe they still avoided social scenes."

Despite this aversion, Erhart is quite a gentleman, at least towards Sei Takanashi. When Sei visits the Royal Magi Assembly to create enchantments for the First Order of Knights as a favour for the Assembly, he insists on carrying the heavy boxes of MP potions for her. In the LN, he is also the person to remind her to take breaks as well as accompany her for lunch.

Erhart is portrayed as a very responsible individual who carries out his duties well. He shoulders all administrative work/duties expected of the second in command at the Royal Magi Assembly as well as those the Grand Magus should do (which Yuri Drewes happily shirks). In a way, he is the one who does the 'real work' at the Assembly, while Yuri is the figurehead leader (because Yuri is more interested in magic research, but Yuri's family wants him to continue their family history of producing Grand Magi).

### **Sei Takanashi**

Erhart sees Yuri as annoyingly eccentric. He does recognize his power but usually has to reign him in whenever Yuri discovers some unknown magic.

### Helmut Hawke

Helmut Hawke was introduced as the father of Albert Hawke. He is the marquis of the Hawke Borderlands. Lord Hawke has blond hair and the characteristic blue-grey eyes the Hawke brothers possess. His hair was a darker shade than Albert's, and overall he more closely resembles Albert's older brother, the minister of military services, Josef Hawke. Helmut is married to Claudia Hawke.

### Claudia Hawke

Claudia Hawke is the mother of the Hawke brothers. She is the marquess of the Hawke Borderlands. Lady Hawke has silver hair that falls in gentle waves, and light purple eyes. She has a kind air about her. The light gives her hair a pale-blue sheen, so perhaps it wasn't accurate to call it strictly silver.

### Josef Hawke

He has dark blonde hair similar to his father's and is known as the minister of military services. He is married to a girl who has ash-coloured hair with slight purple hue, and grey eyes.

She was introduced to Sei during the food festival. Her name is not particularly stated within the novels yet. She is married to Josef Hawke, the oldest son of the Hawke family.

This child is Erhart's niece/nephew. The child's name is currently unmentioned. Their parents are Josef Hawke and his wife.

### Albert Hawke

He is Erhart's youngest brother. After a rare dinner with his brothers, Erhart half-joked about being willing to be a fiance-candidate for Sei's hand in marriage. It is inferred that he did so to tease Albert.
