Description
Agate Crosner, recognized as "Heavy Blade," serves as a bracer within the Liberl Kingdom and later Erebonia. Born in Ravennue Village near Bose, his peaceful childhood shattered during the Hundred Days War, which destroyed his hometown and claimed his younger sister's life. This tragedy hardened him, fueling intense anger towards the Royal Army for failing to protect the village and creating a deep reluctance to form close bonds, especially with children who reminded him of his sister. The trauma led him into delinquency, culminating in the formation of the Ravens gang in Ruan. His path shifted after an encounter with S-rank bracer Cassius Bright, whose intervention inspired Agate to seek meaningful strength and dedicate himself to the Bracer Guild.
Initially blunt and ill-mannered, Agate treats inexperienced bracers like Estelle and Joshua harshly, reflecting his belief that kindness equals vulnerability. Despite his abrasive exterior, his undisputed combat prowess, reliability, and skill earn trust. He wields an oversized sword with ease, justifying his "Heavy Blade" moniker. Physically, he possesses a muscular build, crimson red hair, and violet eyes. Early designs depict spiky hair, long sideburns, a bandana, and a stone pendant worn on his chest. Later iterations show shorter hair, no bandana, and practical attire: a black long-sleeved shirt, green vest, dark pants, and brown boots, though the pendant remains constant.
Personality-wise, Agate embodies the "jerk with a heart of gold" archetype—direct, crass, and humorless, yet fundamentally caring and selfless. He prioritizes bracer duties with calm analysis during missions, though impulsiveness sometimes leads him into peril. A significant shift occurs through his relationship with Tita Russell, an engineering prodigy whose innocence and vulnerability remind him of his sister. Protecting and supporting Tita softens his hardened demeanor, helping him confront and gradually accept his past grief. This bond deepens, with Agate consistently watching over Tita, supporting her endeavors, and assisting with her engineering experiments. However, her mother, Erika Russell, views him with suspicion and disapproval, creating tension.
Agate’s development traces a journey from isolation to acceptance. After aiding in resolving the Calamity in Liberl, he achieves A-rank status, becoming one of the Bracer Guild's top talents. His achievements extend internationally. Four years post-Calamity, he enters Erebonia at Prince Olivert Reise Arnor's request, motivated by three factors: supporting the understaffed imperial bracer guild following the Erebonian Civil War, investigating Ouroboros and jaeger movements, and ensuring Tita's safety as she attends Thors Branch Campus. He also pursues the truth behind the Hundred Days War. Throughout these events, he maintains his protective role toward Tita and collaborates with allies like Estelle and Joshua against larger threats, including the Great Twilight.
Supplementary media, such as the Trails in the Sky Drama CD: Advanced Chapter, features him alongside other characters between major arcs, contributing to his established narrative of mentorship and dedication to responsibilities and loved ones.
