Elhart, also known as Elhart or ambiguously translated as Elhart, operates a renowned weapon shop in Melromarc's Castle Town. His physical appearance features a shaved head, an Amish-style beard without a mustache, numerous old scars on his face and arms from past adventuring, and a well-built physique. He typically wears practical blacksmith attire: an off-white undershirt, beige apron, black gloves, dark pants, and upturned boots. Previously an adventurer, Elhart traveled extensively hunting monsters until abandoning that life after encountering a master blacksmith whose craftsmanship deeply impressed him. He trained under this master alongside another apprentice, Tollynemiya, though their training ended abruptly when the master abandoned him with substantial debt and unresolved complications. Despite this, Elhart established his shop in Melromarc, earning renown as the kingdom's finest blacksmith. His expertise spans diverse weapon and armor types, including accessories, and he handles notoriously difficult materials like those from Guardian Beasts. As a retired adventurer with a class-up, he retains high combat proficiency. Elhart exhibits a cheerful, perceptive personality, discerning truth from deception and demonstrating fairness by rejecting Melromarc's discriminatory views against demi-humans and the Shield Hero. He openly supports Naofumi Iwatani, becoming his first genuine ally after initially believing false assault accusations but quickly recognizing Naofumi's innocence. He provides essential supplies like clothing and equipment, offering discounted or free items during transactions. His mentorship extends to Raphtalia, teaching her foundational swordsmanship and later crafting specialized gear such as her miko outfit. Throughout Naofumi's journey, Elhart's involvement deepens: he supplies early weapons and armor, advises on demi-human physiology, and gifts materials like a rusty sword to unlock shield forms. He forges critical gear including Naofumi's Barbarian Armor, Raphtalia's mana-embedded sword, and Filo's strength-enhancing gloves, which prove vital during confrontations. After Naofumi's exoneration, Elhart permits him to copy all shields in his shop, including the rare Siderite Shield. He collaborates with Tollynemiya—reunited after Naofumi rescues him from slavery—to train and advance blacksmithing techniques. In later arcs, he joins Naofumi's expedition to Q'ten Lo to locate his former master, compelling him to repay debts and complete Elhart's training, elevating his skills to produce masterwork weapons for Naofumi's village. Elhart's legacy positions him as an unsung hero whose craftsmanship supports the Heroes' successes. He is posthumously honored as the "God of all Blacksmiths," with his creations pivotal in both instigating and resolving global conflicts. While his direct appearance in Season 2 is not detailed, his foundational role and evolving craftsmanship remain integral to the broader narrative.
