Background Story

4★	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.
5★	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.
6★	Un chevalier imposant qui apparaît dans divers récits de Héra, un autre monde. Steiner fut sauvé par des chevaliers d'Alexandrie pendant la guerre qui faisait rage alors qu'il n'était qu'un enfant. Il rêvait de devenir chevalier lui-même, et ce, jusqu'à ce qu'il rejoigne les rangs de l'armée alexandrine dans sa jeunesse. Certain que sa mission lui incombait de suivre la volonté de la famille royale coûte que coûte, il obéit au doigt et à l'œil à cette dernière. Cependant, au fil de son aventure, il se rendit compte que son opinion comptait aussi et entreprit de réévaluer sa vision du monde.

Notes

Gameplay

• Steiner has several variants: Loyal Knight Steiner and Knights of Pluto Captain Steiner.

Trivia

• In his 4★ form, he's equipping Broadsword, 5★ is Icebrand and 6★ is Defender which are all in Final Fantasy IX.
• His trust master reward, Excalibur II is his Ultimate Weapon in Final Fantasy IX. It is notorious in being the most difficult piece of equipment to obtain in the franchise. This only obtainable should the player reached the final dungeon, Memoria in under 12 hours of gameplay.
