Description
Lintence Savoled Haden is a prominent character from Chrome Shelled Regios, serving as the leader and the second strongest member of the Heaven's Blade Corp, the elite group of warriors who wield the most powerful DITEs in the world. He is physically distinguished by his dark-green, wavy, voluminous hair, narrow slit-like eyes often described as black, and a perpetually serious expression that reflects his mature and no-nonsense demeanor. In combat, Lintence employs a pair of Heaven's Blade gloves that allow him to generate and manipulate countless golden threads of Kei, which he uses for both offense and control over the battlefield. His personality is markedly direct and serious; he does not engage in idle talk and is known for a blunt, sometimes unsympathetic manner when dealing with others. This seriousness extends to his responsibilities, as he takes his role as a Heaven's Blade receiver and leader seriously, focused on protecting the mobile city of Glendan and its royal family from the Filth Monsters that threaten humanity. Lintence's motivations are rooted in duty and the preservation of order, and he does not let personal feelings interfere with his judgment.
His role in the story is multifaceted. He is one of the twelve Heaven's Blade receivers serving under Glendan, and as the leader of the group, he often coordinates their efforts. A key relationship is his mentorship of Layfon Wolfstein Alseif, whom Lintence acknowledges as his only apprentice. In flashbacks, it is shown that he personally trained Layfon, teaching him the fundamentals of using steel threads and Kei techniques. Lintence was impressed and overwhelmed by Layfon's astonishing rate of learning, as the younger man could absorb techniques merely by observing them. Despite this bond, there exists an unspoken code among Heaven's Blade receivers that they must grow stronger independently, which shapes their interactions. In the anime, Lintence fights alongside Savaris Qaulafin Lueckens and Layfon against the mature Filth Monster named Limbeekun in an early battle, and later participates with the rest of the Heaven's Blade wielders against a large-scale Filth Monster attack. After one such battle, he is shown retrieving Layfon's Heaven Blade. Lintence is also kept informed of Layfon's progress, including when Layfon regains his own blade. In terms of development, Lintence remains a constant figure of authority and skill, representing the pinnacle of what a Heaven's Blade receiver can achieve. His abilities make him one of the most formidable fighters in the setting, and his leadership is crucial in coordinating the defense of Glendan and other cities. Notable abilities include his mastery of Kei, particularly the external and internal types, and his unique fighting style centered on the golden threads from his glove-shaped DITE, which allow for precise, long-range, and high-pressure attacks delivered with great speed.
