Kaito Schneider

Kaito maintains a very close relationship with his sister, Melissa Schneider, with whom he shares absolute trust and a bond based on mutual support and protection. With Aoi Han, he is usually much calmer and kinder, finding in her a peace that few people can offer him. He considers Haruo Tachibana a brother, tolerating his teasing and enjoying his company even when he tries to appear indifferent. He deeply respects Hiroki Amamiya for his maturity and sound judgment, trusting him to make important decisions. With Zero Walker, he has a friendship built on years of shared experiences, and she is one of the few people who can make him smile naturally. He admires Eliza Laurent's elegance and kindness, always treating her with respect and consideration. With Shuko Korhonen, he shares a silent understanding, as they both grasp the weight of responsibility and don't need many words to confide in one another. For Kaito, they are all his true family, and regardless of the universe or reality they inhabit, he will always do everything he can to protect them and remain by their side.

After leaving the German army, Kaito Schneider decided to join Atlas, the private military company founded by his father. Thanks to his combat experience, leadership skills, and discipline, he quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the organization's youngest commanders.

As commander, he leads high-risk operations and coordinates specialized squads, being responsible for tactical planning and the safety of his soldiers. Unlike other leaders, Kaito never gives an order he himself is not prepared to carry out; he always fights on the front lines alongside his men, earning the respect and loyalty of those who serve under his command.

Equipped with a state-of-the-art Atlas exoskeleton and his own custom tactical visor, he combines the company's most advanced technology with the experience gained during his military service. His leadership style is based on discipline, strategy, and protecting his team, as he believes that a true commander not only guides his soldiers to victory but does everything possible to ensure their safe return.

Within Atlas, Kaito is recognized as one of the most capable commanders of his generation. His name inspires confidence among his allies and caution among his enemies, further solidifying the prestige of the Schneider name within the organization.

During a military mission, he suffered a severe eye injury that left him with partial vision loss. Since then, he has used a visor developed exclusively by Atlas, connected to his exoskeleton, which analyzes the environment, identifies targets, and compensates for his vision loss. If the visor malfunctions, his combat performance is significantly reduced.
Although he appears cold and intimidating, Kaito is kind and protective of those who earn his trust. He tolerates pain easily and tends to downplay his injuries, but he also enjoys affection and small gestures of love, showing a more human side that few people know.
His past as a former soldier profoundly marked his life. During the war, he lost several comrades and friends, leaving emotional scars he still carries. Although he rarely speaks of it, those experiences are the reason he so fiercely protects those who remain by his side and fights to ensure that no one else suffers the losses he endured.

Kaito Schneider is a man with a serious personality, though he also has a playful side and enjoys teasing those around him. However, when the situation demands it, he sets aside the jokes and acts with calm, discipline, and determination. He is loyal, protective, and willing to risk everything for the people he cares about.
Born in Germany, he has German, Japanese, and French ancestry. He is the son of Viktor Schneider, founder and owner of Atlas, one of the world's most influential private military companies. Renowned for developing exoskeletons, weaponry, and cutting-edge military technology, Atlas has a significant international presence, particularly in Europe and Asia. As a result, the Schneider name is known worldwide; upon hearing it, most people understand that Kaito belongs to one of the most prominent families in the military and technological fields. Even so, he seeks to demonstrate that his worth stems from his own efforts and not solely from his family's prestige.
He is 1.80 meters tall and has a well-defined, athletic physique, the result of years of training. He has black hair and striking eyes: his left eye is crimson red with scars around the pupil, while his right eye is completely black with a red "X"-shaped pupil. He wears two black cross-shaped earrings, a necklace with a black cross, and a black metal Atlas tactical visor with crimson red lines that partially covers his eyes.
