Rean Schwarzer

hello

Kind, sociable, easygoing and modest to a fault, Rean is about as upright as they come. He is incredibly supportive, often helping people (friends or otherwise) with their various problems, sometimes going through extreme lengths to fulfill requests. He is a natural-born leader, often taking the initiative when the group faces a problem, relying on his good instincts and deductive reasoning skills to get through them.

However, despite putting on a confident front, Rean has a shockingly low amount of self-worth, often being harsh to himself and trying to spread credit to others mainly due to the fact he was adoptive and how other noble mistreat his adoptive father over it and how he end up lost control of himself due to his unknown power when he and Elise were younger. He is also unable to reconcile the love that his family has for him, often considering himself to be a burden, striving to one day "pay back his parents" for caring for them, unable to realize that his parents unconditionally love him.

He also has a tendency to put others over himself, often to his detriment. Jusis points out that his tendency to do this comes across as more abnormal than virtuous. He holds himself back when fighting due to the fear of losing control and accidentally hurting someone with his power. He is able to slowly reconcile his shortcomings over the course of Cold Steel I & II, eventually learning to accept the love that people have for him and accept his unknown power as an extension of himself. He is quite overprotective of Elise, stating that he won't just let any man be with her and easily snaps to even the slightest of infractions (such as a simple stroke) against her.

Rean matures a great deal after the events of the first two Cold Steel games. Although his base personality is more or less the same, it's greatly tempered by his experiences in the military. He gains a greater understanding of the people and world around him, he also has a girlfriend named Alisa Reinford
