Description
Pommern is a supporting character in Granblue Fantasy the Animation. He is a human man of 47 years who stands 176 cm tall, with brown hair cut to ear length and brown eyes. He is particular about his appearance, with mustache maintenance listed among his hobbies, and he favors Erune liquor while disliking fatty foods.
He serves as a captain in the military of the Erste Empire and was formerly the commanding officer of Katalina before her defection. In that capacity, he was entrusted with overseeing Lyria under conditions of absolute confidentiality. When Katalina escaped with Lyria, Pommern's career was effectively destroyed, and that loss became the defining event of his life.
His personality is shaped by this failure. The escape of his charge and the ruin of his standing within the empire turn him into a bitter and obsessive man. His central motivation is revenge: ever since Katalina took Lyria from him, he has thought of little else. He channels this fixation into furthering research on dark essence, hoping to reclaim what he lost and restore his position.
In the story, Pommern acts as an antagonist aligned with the Erste Empire. His role involves pursuing the protagonists in order to recover Lyria and undo the damage caused by her escape. His relationship with Katalina forms the emotional core of his character, as she was once his subordinate and her betrayal is the source of his vendetta. His connection to Lyria is more impersonal, as she is chiefly a prize to be regained, though his obsessive pursuit of her gives his grudge its direction.
His development is largely one of decline. A trusted officer reduced to a vengeful researcher, he turns to dark essence as a means of gaining the power he feels he has lost. In related Granblue Fantasy material, this research eventually grants him a transformed form called Gacha-Pom, created by combining dark essence with cells from Gachapin's Energy Ball; he names the form as a mark of respect for his archenemy. His notable abilities are tied to this dark essence research as well as to the authority and combat skill expected of an imperial military captain.
