OVA
Description
Serge Liebert, designated Number 45, operates as a sniper in Squad 422—the Nameless—a penal military unit active during the Second Europan War. Born around 1917, he stands 169 cm tall and is approximately 20 years old during 1937 events. His early Gallian Army career showed promise due to exceptional sniping skills, but he voluntarily joined the Nameless upon learning of his incurable fatal illness, choosing combat death over a passive end in hospital.
Quiet and physically frail, Serge initially fades into the background, seeking high-risk missions to fulfill his death wish. This culminates in disobeying orders during a sortie, provoking a confrontation with commander Kurt Irving. Recognizing Serge’s intent, Kurt extracts a tearful promise: Serge must live, fight, and refuse death as long as Kurt commands the squad. This pact becomes a turning point.
Serge’s outlook transforms; he begins valuing life and grows hopeful. He is among the first to recognize Kurt’s leadership, developing unwavering loyalty. Even after the Nameless disbands, Serge considers Kurt his commanding officer, vowing not to die without Kurt’s direct order. Post-war, he settles into quiet life under a shepherd’s tutelage, honoring his promise and newfound purpose.
Combat-wise, Serge excels as a sniper but adapts to Engineer and Scout roles. His personal potentials reflect his traits: "Weak Constitution" and "Without a Future" reduce defense and accuracy during low action points, mirroring his illness and despair. Completing the extra chapter "The Soldier who Loves the Battlefield" replaces "Without a Future" with "Ray of Light," boosting accuracy and anti-personnel damage under the same conditions—symbolizing his growth. Additional potentials like "Soldier’s Pride" and "Hidden Fighting Spirit" enhance defense in perilous combat. His preferred roles remain Sniper and Engineer, with Sniper Elite as his strongest specialization.
Serge maintains camaraderie with squadmates Shin Hyuga, Kurt Irving, Felix Cowley, and Zahar Alonso, based on mutual respect. His quote, "I feel pain... I guess I’m still alive..." captures his early detachment and acceptance of suffering.
