Description
Guiche de Gramont is a noble student at Tristain Academy of Magic, born as the fourth son of General Gramont from the prominent military family. Standing 175 cm tall at age seventeen, he wields an artificial rose as his wand and specializes in earth magic. His early reputation centers on playboy tendencies, habitually courting multiple women—including primary romantic interest Montmorency—with identical romantic phrases. This duplicity culminates in public humiliation when Saito Hiraga exposes his two-timing, provoking a duel. Guiche summons a brass golem and multiple Valkyrie constructs but faces decisive defeat against Saito’s Gandálfr abilities.
Magically progressing from Dot to Line mage, his earth affinity enables him to animate Valkyrie warriors and constructs for combat. His familiar, the giant earth mole Verdante, reflects this alignment yet performs poorly in the Familiar Exhibition. Initial vanity and cowardice see him flee threats like Fouquet’s golem, but significant development occurs when the Albion invasion drafts him into the army. Personnel shortages unexpectedly elevate him to a command position, marking early maturity.
Princess Henrietta later commissions him to reform the Ondine Knights, appointing him captain with Saito as vice-captain. This role solidifies his growth into a tactically competent leader loyal to Tristain. His relationship with Montmorency endures despite infidelity conflicts, strengthened by mutual dedication; he actively protects her during missions like the Lake Lagdorian water spirit incident. Residual flirtations toward others—including Princess Henrietta—persist, yet his commitment to Montmorency deepens.
Guiche’s adversarial dynamic with Saito evolves into respectful friendship, particularly within the Ondine Knights where they collaborate in operations. Key moments include aiding Saito and Louise in locating Count Mott and retrieving the Ring of Andvari from Cromwell. He has three older brothers, and his name references Armand de Gramont, Comte de Guiche—a historical figure noted for similar vanity. His favorite food is soufflé, and his runic epithet shifts between "Brass" (novels) and "Bronze" (anime), referencing his metal golems.
Evolving from comically arrogant noble to capable commander, Guiche becomes a reliable ally in Tristain’s conflicts, balancing lingering flaws with demonstrated courage and leadership.
