Description
Father, whose real name is Fia Kreuz, is a central figure in Teito Klein's past. Originally known to Teito simply as Father, he is the man who took the young, orphaned Teito into a church and raised him. During Teito's childhood, Father taught him many things, including most of the church's writings, and served as his primary father figure and guardian. He cared for Teito very deeply, raising him with genuine affection and protection.
His background is deeply entwined with the royal lineage of the Barsburg Empire. Fia Kreuz is the younger brother of the King, which makes him Teito's blood uncle. This royal connection is a secret that explains much about his past and his protective stance toward Teito. He is also one of the powerful beings known as the 07-Ghosts, where he holds the identity of Vertrag.
Father's motivations are largely driven by his desire to protect Teito. This commitment leads him to make a significant sacrifice. Shortly after Teito left the church, Fia Kreuz was excommunicated for escaping with Pandora's Box, a mysterious and powerful artifact. This act suggests he was willing to give up his position and standing to secure the box, presumably to keep it from falling into the wrong hands or to use it for Teito's sake.
In the story, Father's role is that of a guiding influence from the past. Though he does not appear as a present-day character alongside Teito for most of the narrative, his memory and the lessons he imparted continue to shape Teito's actions. Teito frequently associates his mentor Bishop Frau with his memories of Father, especially when Frau drops his usual playful demeanor and becomes serious, reminding Teito of the man who raised him. This connection highlights the lasting impact Father had on Teito's sense of morality and purpose.
Key relationships define his character. His most significant bond is with Teito, serving as a surrogate parent who provided safety and education. His blood relation to the King places him within the highest echelons of the empire's power structure, a position he seems to have turned away from to protect his nephew. His identity as one of the 07-Ghosts, Vertrag, also connects him to other powerful beings like Frau (Zehel) and Castor (Fest), though the specifics of those relationships are defined by their shared hidden duty.
Regarding development, the information available focuses on his past actions rather than an arc the audience witnesses. The clearest point of development is his shift from a respected church figure to an excommunicated fugitive. His choice to take Pandora's Box and leave the church represents a definitive break from his former life, undertaken for the sake of someone he loved. His story, as revealed, is one of sacrifice made before the main events of the series even begin.
In terms of notable abilities, as a bishop and one of the 07-Ghosts, Fia Kreuz would have possessed considerable power, including the use of Zaiphon, the energy-based magic system of the world. However, the most definitively stated ability is his identity as Vertrag, which is his specific designation as one of the Seven Ghosts. The full scope of his powers as a Ghost is not detailed in the information available.
