Description
Matthäus Johann Weiß, also spelled Matheus Johan Weiss, is a supporting character in the story. He serves as the vice commander and second company commander of the 203rd Aerial Mage Battalion, a rapid‑response unit led by Tanya Degurechaff. Before joining the battalion, he served in the Empire’s Eastern Army, where he grew dissatisfied with the lack of combat and training opportunities. When Tanya’s new unit began recruiting, he volunteered and successfully passed her extremely demanding selection and training process.
Weiß is described as having a curved face, black hair, and gray eyes. He is a prudent and capable officer, though not unrelenting in manner. Some accounts note a streak of arrogance born from his magical talent, but he quickly learns to temper it under Tanya’s leadership. He is a highly skilled aerial mage, able to hold his own in combat, though his primary value lies in his reliability as a second‑in‑command and his ability to execute orders precisely.
His motivation centers on serving the Empire effectively and proving himself in active duty. He deeply respects Tanya, recognizing her extraordinary tactical mind and strategic planning, and he follows her orders without hesitation. Tanya personally appointed him as her vice commander and considers him a dependable subordinate, even trusting him to lead the battalion in her absence. Their working relationship is marked by mutual trust, though Weiß occasionally feels genuine fear when Tanya becomes angered by mistakes among the troops.
Over the course of the narrative, Weiß develops from a lieutenant into a major. He grows more confident in his role as second‑in‑command and learns to anticipate Tanya’s intentions, making him an increasingly effective leader. He is also responsible for commanding the battalion’s second company and occasionally delegating tasks to other officers, such as Lieutenant Grantz.
Notable abilities include his proficiency in aerial combat magic, his sound judgment under pressure, and his disciplined approach to command. He is not a flashy or reckless fighter; instead, he embodies the steady, prudent officer that a high‑stress unit like the 203rd requires. His loyalty to Tanya and the battalion remains unwavering throughout the war, and he plays a crucial part in many of the unit’s most dangerous operations.
