Patrick Rembrandt, a prominent merchant and head of the powerful Rembrandt Company, commands Tsige’s economy as the leader of its foremost trading conglomerate. Renowned for his vast wealth and political clout, he wields unmatched control over the city’s trade networks. His imposing presence—tall frame, muscular build, long dark green hair, and a signature mustache—visibly underscores his elite status. In his ruthless youth, Patrick relied on bribery, threats, and murder to crush rivals and secure dominance, cementing his reputation as a merciless strategist. These brutal tactics forged his empire but spawned countless enemies. Marriage and fatherhood softened his personal demeanor, though he remains pragmatic in business, treating financial manipulation and intimidation as essential tools. A turning point arrives when his wife and daughters fall victim to a lethal curse, likely orchestrated by old foes. Desperation drives him to hire adventurers for a near-impossible quest to gather rare cure components—a mission achieved only by Makoto Misumi. This salvation sparks profound gratitude, transforming Patrick into Makoto’s steadfast ally. He later supports Makoto’s lectures at Rotsgard Academy and aids in founding the Kuzunoha Company. Family anchors Patrick’s life. Fiercely devoted to his wife and daughters, his overprotective streak intensifies after their brush with death, though his smothering affection sometimes backfires, such as when his painting of their cursed forms offends them. Despite occasional friction, mutual love and respect bind the family. Though reformed, Patrick’s past lingers as a hidden weight. Tomoe, privy to his secrets through memory magic, remains discreet. His shrewd leadership fuels Tsige’s post-independence prosperity from the Aion Kingdom, while cautious alliances with former rivals like Zara balance old grudges with new collaborations. Patrick’s evolution from ruthless magnate to a leader melding familial empathy with unyielding commercial resolve highlights his complexity. His partnership with Makoto thrives on mutual trust, each leveraging their strengths to navigate their world’s turbulent political and economic currents.
