Description
Schmelman Bach’s existence weaves through centuries, marked by fractured identities and a legacy etched across timelines. Three centuries before the central conflicts, he shaped future leaders as an instructor at the 13th Special Military Forces School, eventually adopting protégé Licht Bach as his son. Brutalized in youth by a mother who reviled his resemblance to his absent father, he unwittingly unleashed latent powers during a violent clash, culminating in her accidental death—a trauma that haunted his path. Adulthood brought further ruin: his wife’s suicide over infertility struggles deepened his fractures, driving him to forge a surrogate family through students.
He co-led the Aerial Ace Project with peers like Firenda, engineering soldiers via experimental surgeries and Ballot tech to survive an anticipated melee-dominated era. Their creations, however, birthed uncontrollable brutality. Schmelman’s parallel cloning research later defined his twilight years. Fatal power overuse later bound him to Althing’s energy for survival, reducing him to a strategist banking on Licht and students to realize his fractured ideals.
The present-day Schmelman is Firenda’s engineered replica—a clone tasked with upholding the Special Service’s Field Marshal role while dismantling his predecessor’s honor. This duplicate weaponizes psychological warfare—brainwashing allies, unleashing berserk clones—to erode foes like Licht and Tokikaze. Where the original nurtured disciples, the clone discards them as pawns. His warped devotion to Firenda manifests in obsessive loyalty, addressing her as "Mama" even as she engineers his destruction.
Identical in form—long blonde hair, red eyes veiled beneath lowered lids, a monocle masking childhood scars—the clone’s anime depiction reveals heterochromatic eyes mirroring his fractured psyche. His cryokinetic mastery, blinding speed, and combat expertise make him lethal; his genetic code underpins the Barons’ bloodlust genes, granting power at sanity’s expense.
He fuels wars between Althea and the Abyss, scheming until final confrontations with Licht. The original’s tragic pursuit of redemption through successors contrasts the clone’s ruthless deceit, their duality dissecting identity’s fragility and ambition’s corrosive toll.
