OVA
Description
Keith Claes, originally born Keith Coleman, was the illegitimate son of Viscount Coleman and a commoner prostitute. His biological mother regretted his birth, and he endured neglect and abuse from his half-brothers within the Coleman household. An intense bullying incident involuntarily triggered his powerful earth magic, injuring his tormentors and leading his fearful family to isolate him.
Duke Luigi Claes recognized his exceptional magical potential and adopted him at age eight. Duchess Millidiana Claes, mistakenly believing Keith was Luigi's illegitimate child, treated him coldly. In the original *Fortune Lover* game narrative, his adoptive sister Katarina Claes bullied and physically abused him, deepening his loneliness. This upbringing shaped him into a withdrawn playboy who sought emotional fulfillment through romantic relationships. His game routes culminated in Katarina's exile or murder.
Katarina's intervention, after regaining memories of her past life, prevented these outcomes. She treated him with consistent kindness, clarified his true parentage to resolve Millidiana's misunderstanding, and actively integrated him into family life. This transformed his development, fostering responsibility and gentlemanly conduct instead of bitterness. He honed strong earth magic, specializing in creating and controlling large golems, and frequently acted as Katarina's minder to curb her impulsiveness.
His relationship with Katarina evolved from deep familial loyalty to romantic love. He confessed his feelings during a vulnerable moment after being rescued from a kidnapping orchestrated by his biological brother Thomas and dark magic users. This marked a turning point; he became openly assertive about his feelings and fiercely protective of Katarina, viewing her suitors—especially Prince Geordo—as rivals.
In the *Verge of Doom* spin-off, where Katarina recalled her past life later, Keith initially despised her due to her abuse. Her sincere efforts to atone led him to gradually accept her, forging a genuine sibling bond that helped him reconcile with his neglected childhood.
His role extends beyond the main storyline. He accompanies Katarina during a circus incident involving foreign visitors in the film. In the game *Pirates of the Disturbance*, derived from a *Fortune Lover* fanbook, he joins Katarina aboard the luxury liner *Vinculum* to face pirate attacks.
His broader relationships include a respectful dynamic with Anne Sherry, Katarina's maid, collaborating to monitor Katarina's activities. Millidiana eventually regards him as a favored son, trusting him to uphold the family's reputation, while Luigi consistently supports his integration into the Claes household.
