Veltol Astrea

Veltol was the former head of House Astrea, and he loved his family dearly, Theresia in particular. However, he ultimately lost his life during one of Stride Vollachia's campaigns, who used his Authority to control Carol Remendis and kill him.

Appearance

Veltol had relatively long hair along with a red beard and a red mustache. He wore bordeaux colored clothes, those representing of nobility.

Personality

Veltol was considered to have an overprotective personality towards his daughter, Theresia, his wife, Tishua, and his three sons. Though this facet of his personality sometimes went too far, the love he held for his family was what truly distinguished him as a person. He went to extreme lengths to protect his family despite being unskilled with the sword. He sometimes acted pettily around the people he disliked, but in the end, once they got to know them better, he would warm up and treat them as family. This said, as the head of a noble house, Veltol can play that role perfectly, often exuding a noble aura when faced with others besides his family. Despite his less than average talent with a sword, he is willing to challenge someone to a duel if they insult the people he cares for.

History

Sword Demon Love Story

In the three months that followed the start of her engagement, Theresia brought her fiancée Wilhelm Trias to meet her parents. However, thanks to Veltol, their upcoming wedding faced numerous setbacks and obstacles. Thanks to his interference, three days before their official wedding date, he used his authority to force the Zergev Squadron to patrol a few towns around the Royal Capital, knowing full well that it would take three days to accomplish. Suspicious that this was her father's fault, she asked Bordeaux to look into it. Later, despite her frustrations, Wilhelm decided to take on this challenge, and as he prepared to leave, Theresia, who had fixed him food for on the road, saw him off. Afterward, speaking with Bordeaux Zergev, he confirmed her suspicions, and she resolved to meet with and scold her father. Two days later, Theresia and Carol went to confront Veltol. When they met, Theresia was quick to chide her father for his actions, and she even threatened to leave House Astrea because of him. Even Carol and her mother joined in to chide him. However, she believed in Wilhelm, and she knew that he would arrive on time for their wedding, despite her father's meddling. The next day, wearing her wedding dress, she waited patiently for the return for the Zergev Squadron with Carol and her parents. Eventually, Bordeaux arrived and informed her of the squad's return, and soon after, her wedding took place. Despite Wilhelm being unable to clean himself off after the mess he went through, Veltol entrusted his daughter to him, the wedding went off perfectly, and the two were married. At some point after this, Veltol ordered a sword for Wilhelm, the sword that would later be named the Holy Sword Astrea.

In the month that followed, Veltol made numerous appearances, much to Theresia's frustration, and eventually, he even suggested going along on the honeymoon as well, leading to another argument. However, with help from Tishua, they were able to get him to leave. Given two months for their honeymoon, they prepared to leave, taking Carol as Theresia's attendant, and they decided to visit the cities to the south of the Royal Capital. However, after arriving in Picoutatte, having left from Flanders, they found Veltol waiting there, leading to another argument. However, with his reason for visiting to collect the present for his wife, they accompanied him to the Suwen Company. With Veltol asking Wilhelm and Carol to allow him and Theresia to shop together, they left to observe the town. Inside the shop, however, they were met by a disrespectful Stride, who was targeting the Sword Saint. Leading Veltol to challenging him to a duel, he introduced Kurgan, who would serve as his champion, as Theresia had noticed Stride's apparent illness. After further insulting him, her, and Wilhelm, Veltol struck Stride for his remarks, leading Kurgan to ruthlessly beat him down and Stride to curse him. Taken to the hospital, she met with Wilhelm and was informed of Veltol's condition by the healer Garitch Fabless. Accordingly, the only way to remove the curse was to cut it off at the source. The next day, the curse receded after the destruction of the ring that caused it. However, he got into an argument with Theresia, and after she left to greet Tishua, who was informed of the incident and decided to visit the city, he spoke with Wilhelm, who gave him the accessory Theresia and Carol bought for him to give to Tishua. During their conversation, Wilhelm learned that Veltol's arm lost all function as an after-effect of the curse, and Veltol swore him to secrecy.
