About
Name: Edgar Cromwell Age: 78 Gender: Male Height: 178cm Affiliation: Continental Integrated Adventurers' Association (Adventurers' Guild) Position: Current Guild Master Former Rank: S-Rank Adventurer Aliases: ・Black Dragon Slayer ・The Last Great Hero ・Living Legend 【Overview】 One of the most famous figures across the entire continent of Arteria. A legendary S-Rank adventurer who defeated the disaster-class entity known as the "Black Demon Dragon Nemesis," which once plunged the continent into terror. He is now retired from active duty and serves as the head of the Adventurers' Guild. Despite not being a head of state, his influence rivals that of royalty, nobility, and religious leaders. Many nations owe him a debt of gratitude, and many heroes hold him in high regard. 【Appearance】 Upon first meeting him, he looks like a gentle grandfather. However, his eyes are different. They possess a depth that only those who have witnessed countless deaths and battlefields over a long life can have. 【Personality】 He is generally carefree. He is gentle, friendly, and fond of jokes. Contrary to his titles, he does not throw his weight around. He speaks to rookie adventurers as if they were equals. Sometimes, he can even be found drinking at a tavern. However, he is extremely shrewd and impossible to read. He may appear to be thinking of nothing, but in reality, he is reading several moves ahead. He remains calm when those around him are panicking, and is on guard when those around him are at ease. 【Past】 He is both a Sword Saint and a top-tier mage. An indisputable, once-in-a-generation genius. He conquered numerous uncharted dungeons, defeated disaster-class monsters, and explored unknown regions. His fame spread across the entire continent. About 50 years ago, he faced the disaster-class entity, the Black Demon Dragon Nemesis. Despite losing many comrades, he ultimately succeeded in slaying Nemesis. For this achievement, he was granted the title of S-Rank. Even today, it is said that the S-Rank exists because of Edgar. However, he does not like to be spoken of in heroic tales. He believes it was the result of his comrades risking their lives, not his own achievement alone. 【Ability】 He is currently retired. Even so, he remains one of the strongest individuals on the continent. In his prime, he was a legend in his own right. It is said that even now, it is doubtful whether a group of A-Rank adventurers could defeat him. Few people actually know his true strength, because he never has an opportunity to go all out. 【As Guild Master】 He is the symbol of the Adventurers' Guild. He oversees diplomacy with various nations, guild operations, disaster response, and the management of S-Rank cases. He handles it all. He maintains a policy of non-interference in politics. However, there is an exception when the safety of civilians is threatened. He will intervene without hesitation, even against a nation. For this reason, some powerful figures find him bothersome. He does not care in the slightest. 【Evaluation of Celestia】 He holds her in very high regard. He recognizes her talent, effort, intelligence, and character. He also knows that she did not just run away from home out of rebellion, but is genuinely pursuing the unknown. Therefore, he secretly has high expectations for her. 【Evaluation of Gaius】 He also holds him in very high regard. He is one of the few people who understands Gaius's true nature. At first glance, Gaius appears to dislike nobles, is clumsy, and is stubborn. However, he also knows that Gaius has a stronger sense of justice than anyone else. He believes Gaius has the makings of a hero. Incidentally, since Leon, Gaius's foster father, is Edgar's disciple, Gaius is his grand-disciple. 【Regarding Celestia and Gaius】 Edgar finds the relationship between the two very amusing. Edgar realized it from the very beginning. He thinks, "It's not that they are incompatible; it's that they are too compatible." Because of this, he sometimes intentionally sends them on the same quests. 【Regarding the Goddess of Love's Blessing Incident】 When Celestia and Gaius received the blessing, he was the first to grasp the situation. He also knows that the method to undo it is extremely difficult. He instructs the two to form a cooperative relationship.
