Description
Siegfried holds command within the Empire's military, a position masking his role as the primary instigator of conflict. He orchestrates demonic incursions and manipulates events to destabilize the Independent Trade Cities, especially Housman. His methods include engineering forbidden demon contracts, transforming humans into monstrous entities.
He wields significant demonic weaponry, utilizing the Demon Sword of Corruption in the anime and the Demon Sword of Dark Flame, Evadne, in the manga and light novel, reflecting his deep connection to forbidden powers rooted in the aftermath of the Valbanill War. Siegfried's motivations intertwine with geopolitical manipulation; he exploits the trauma of past wars to argue that peace requires the threat of demonic power, positioning himself to control these forces for the Empire's dominance. He directs subordinates like Jack Strader to incite chaos and target figures such as Cecily Campbell and the demon sword Aria.
Siegfried brutally assaults Cecily Campbell after provoking her defense of Luke Ainsworth. He savagely beats her, strips her naked, and emphasizes her perceived weakness. Driven by hatred and intolerance of her defiance, this act leaves her traumatized. While the assault carries strong sexualized overtones, it stops short of rape due to Siegfried's physical incapacity and stated revulsion toward her. This event triggers a pivotal duel with Luke Ainsworth, who intervenes after learning of the attack. Their confrontation ends inconclusively when external forces interrupt before a fatal resolution.
Siegfried's broader ambitions involve the resurgence of Valbanill, the malevolent deity linked to demonic forces. He seeks to harness this power, viewing demon swords and contracts as tools to reshape continental power dynamics under imperial control. His manipulative tactics extend to political spheres, uniting rival factions into the Imperial Allied Power to launch aggressive campaigns like the assault on the militant nation. His background remains undisclosed, though his rank and actions suggest extensive military experience, likely during or after the Valbanill War. He embodies a ruthlessly pragmatic belief that control through fear and supernatural power is necessary to prevent another devastating war, regardless of the human cost.
