Background Story

5★	A large knight who appears in tales of Gaia, a world foreign to this one. Steiner is the leader of the all-male company known as the Knights of Pluto, a rare group in the currently female-dominated Kingdom of Alexandria. He considers General Beatrix to be his rival, and is extremely serious and stubborn in nature, leaving no room for flexibility. His loyalty to the royal family cannot be questioned, though the passion he pours into his work often tends to be his undoing.
6★	A large knight who appears in tales of Gaia, a world foreign to this one. Steiner is the leader of the slightly unreliable company belonging to the Alexandrian forces known as the Knights of Pluto. He is a stubborn man that has sworn his undying loyalty to the royal family, and whose obstinacy often inconveniences those around him. As fate would have it, he eventually sets off on a journey outside the kingdom where he experienced many encounters that gradually changed his way of life.
7★	A large knight who appears in tales of Gaia, a world foreign to this one. Steiner was saved by Alexandrian knights during the war that occurred during his childhood, and thus grew up dreaming of becoming a knight himself until he finally joined the Alexandrian army in his youth. Believing his mission to be that of blindly following the will of the royal family, he did as he was bid in the name of duty. However, later throughout his journey he came to realize that his own judgment had value, and began to reevaluate his way of life.
