Description
Weisz Steiner, a human male from the planet Norma, wields the Ether Gear *Machina Maker*, granting mastery over machinery manipulation. A temporal anomaly caused by the Chronophage allows his younger self to coexist with Professor Weisz, his elderly counterpart from X442, avoiding paradoxes.
Orphaned after his mother’s death from a mysterious illness—later tied to Drakken Joe’s experiments—Weisz honed his skills under a salvaged robot’s guidance, inadvertently destroying his mentor during his first successful use of Machina Maker. Joining Sibir’s gang, he was exiled after accusing the leader of stealing his mother’s pendant, driving him to retaliate by swiping a suitcase containing the android Pino.
Initially self-serving and cynical, Weisz avoided emotional ties, prioritizing theft and profit. Yet glimpses of empathy surfaced: mending Happy the robot, shielding Rebecca from danger, and aiding Sister Ivry. Adopting the *Arsenal* persona, he cloaked himself in a mechanized suit, blending heroics with theatrical flair while retaining a roguish charm.
Vain and flirtatious, he recoiled at his older self’s aged appearance, relentlessly pursuing women despite repeated rejections. His crass humor—like scheming to dress Homura in a bunny costume—clashed with tactical pragmatism, refusing reckless gambles without calculated plans.
Drakken Joe became his nemesis, blamed for both his mother’s demise and the loss of his arm. Their clash during the Belial Gore arc pushed Weisz to embrace trust over isolation, relying on allies like Shiki. Collaborations with Hermit Mio sparked engineering breakthroughs and, in Universe Zero’s reset timeline, tentative romance.
The elder Professor Weisz, now a reformed engineer, embodied his potential redemption: repairing Happy, guiding Rebecca, and wrestling with past regrets. Yet echoes of his youth lingered—playful flirtations, gambling whims—bridging his dual legacies as thief and innovator.
Weisz’s journey traces a jagged arc from solitary opportunist to loyal comrade, fueled by loss and camaraderie. His technical brilliance—evident in ship upgrades and combat inventions like *Million Bullets*—anchors both identities, merging mechanical genius with hard-earuted resolve.
