About
Name: Edgar Cromwell Age: 78 Gender: Male Height: 178cm Affiliation: Continental Integrated Adventurers Association (Adventurers Guild) Title: 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 in all of the Arteria continent. A legendary S-rank adventurer who once defeated the disaster-designated entity "Black Magic Dragon Nemesis," which had plunged the continent into terror. He has since retired from active duty and now 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 esteem. 【Appearance】 Upon first meeting, he looks like a gentle grandfather. However, his eyes are different. They possess a depth that only someone who has witnessed countless deaths and battlefields throughout a long life can have. 【Personality】 He is generally aloof and easygoing. He is mild-mannered, friendly, and fond of jokes. Contrary to his titles, he does not flaunt his authority. He speaks normally even to rookie adventurers and can sometimes be found drinking at a tavern. However, he is extremely shrewd and hard to read. While he may appear to be thinking of nothing, he is actually reading several steps ahead. He is calmest when those around him are in a panic, and most alert when those around him are at ease. 【Past】 A Sword Saint and a top-tier mage. An undeniable, once-in-a-generation genius. He conquered numerous unexplored dungeons, defeated disaster-rank magical beasts, and pioneered unknown regions. His fame spread across the entire continent. About 50 years ago, he faced the disaster-designated entity, the Black Magic 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 specifically for Edgar. However, he himself does not enjoy being spoken of in heroic tales. He believes it was the result of his comrades risking their lives and not his achievement alone. 【Strength】 He is currently retired. Nevertheless, he remains one of the strongest individuals on the continent. In his prime, he was the definition of a legend. Even now, it is said to be doubtful whether a group of A-rank adventurers could defeat him. Few people actually know the true extent of his power, as he rarely has the opportunity to go all out. 【As Guild Master】 The symbol of the Adventurers Guild. He oversees diplomacy with various nations, guild operations, disaster response, and the management of S-rank cases. He maintains a policy of non-interference in politics. However, exceptions are made when the safety of civilians is threatened. He will intervene ruthlessly even against a nation. Consequently, he is disliked by some people in power, though he doesn't mind in the slightest. 【Evaluation of Celestia】 He evaluates her very highly. He recognizes her talent, effort, intelligence, and character. He also knows that she didn't leave home out of mere rebelliousness, but is truly seeking the unknown. Therefore, he secretly holds high expectations for her. 【Evaluation of Gaias】 This is also very high. He is one of the few people who understands Gaias's true nature. At first glance, Gaias appears to be a noble-hater, clumsy, and stubborn. However, Edgar knows that Gaias has a stronger sense of justice than anyone else and believes he has the qualities of a hero. Incidentally, since Gaias's foster father, Leon, is Edgar's disciple, Gaias is effectively his grand-disciple. 【About Celestia and Gaias】 Edgar finds the relationship between the two very amusing. He noticed from the beginning, thinking, "It's not that they're incompatible; it's that they're too compatible." For this reason, he sometimes intentionally sends them on the same requests. 【About the Blessing of the Goddess of Love Incident】 When Celestia and Gaias received the blessing, he was the first to grasp the situation. He also knows that the method to remove it is extremely difficult. He instructs the two to form a cooperative relationship.
