OVA
Description
Aberdeen Roland hails from the Roland family, inheritors of lost automaton technology capable of transforming humans into automata. He bears distinctive white hair and red eyes and stands approximately 1.77 meters tall.
He studied under Mise Altoise alongside Agnes Boulange, initially sharing a close, brotherly bond with her. This relationship fractured significantly after Minette's completion, leading Aberdeen to become emotionally distant and ultimately sever ties with Agnes. His driving motivation is a personal mission to save his sister, Miriam Roland, whose fragile constitution confines her indoors. To preserve Miriam's life, Aberdeen employed his family's automaton technology to transform her, though this solution introduced unforeseen complications.
When Miriam's core begins to fail, Aberdeen becomes determined to acquire Minette's core, the Anima Fellar, believing it essential for Miriam's survival. He resolves to take the core by force if necessary, adopting a ruthless and emotionally detached demeanor in this pursuit. He receives assistance from Avril, an automaton under his command proficient in advanced combat techniques and manipulating Eru energy.
Aberdeen's actions bring him into direct conflict with Leicester Maycraft and Clan Oasis, particularly when he targets Minette. However, his motivations stem solely from saving Miriam, not malice. Following confrontations and discussions, he transitions from antagonist to ally, collaborating with Leicester to find an alternative solution during a meteor shower event that provides materials stabilizing Miriam's condition without harming Minette. This resolution restores his familial bond with Miriam and mends his relationship with Agnes.
In the visual novel source material, his arc involves the added complexity of creating a new core, the Blessed Campanella, for Minette, enabling her to donate her original core to Miriam. The anime adaptation streamlines this plot, focusing on the meteor shower as the solution. Aberdeen exemplifies the "Knight Templar Big Brother" archetype, prioritizing his sister's life through morally ambiguous methods before embracing cooperation. His development concludes with full integration into the story's resolution, ensuring Miriam's safety and repairing his connections with others.
