Background

Hebrew and his elder brother Orlando awakened their Battle Qi under Velin's guidance. Their exceptional speed of advancement led Velin to regard them as the “wings” described by the Guidance of Fate, and the brothers became his Guardian Knights under the Goddess of Life's witness. 4 12

In his early service, Hebrew joined Velin's campaign against the goblin tribes and acted as a recorder while Velin and Belder reviewed the battle. He was later assigned responsibility for 140 warhorses and assisted Orlando in training Knight Squires. 12 14 32

At seventeen, Hebrew was already a Silver Intermediate Knight. His defeat by Devonshire during a public duel became a decisive lesson: despite Devonshire holding back, Hebrew was sent out of the arena and realized he could not underestimate experienced opponents. 156 157

Appearance

Hebrew is described as retaining a handsome, dashing appearance even after decades of service. 1384

• His Ice-attribute Battle Qi appears pale blue in battle. 157
• The Nokaya Knight Sword produces an icy aura that sharply lowers the surrounding temperature and condenses ice crystals in the air. 791 863
• He is frequently depicted in knightly armor while leading his troops. 646

Personality

Hebrew is straightforward, competitive, and eager to prove himself in battle. In his youth, Orlando repeatedly reminded him to “talk less, do more,” and his initial arrogance was tempered by his loss to Devonshire. He responded by training day and night for a rematch rather than blaming his opponent. 12 157 178

His confidence can become recklessness. During the clash with Dobik, he charged a Holy Seal warrior and three war beasts with the Ice Bear Knight Order despite the disparity in rank, requiring Kyle's intervention. 693 He is also prone to boasting, though he has become capable of independent planning and command. 758 771 774

Around close friends and family, Hebrew is notably simple-minded, playful, and sometimes shy. He was nervous when visiting Devonshire to meet Abrien, but otherwise treats his future father-in-law like an elder brother. 876 He also repeatedly evades administrative work to read adventure storybooks, accepting punishment only after being caught. 2175 2188 2189

Story Role / Major Arcs

Devonshire Duel and Recruitment

Hebrew first lost to Devonshire in a public Silver-level duel, then devoted himself to training and returned to challenge him again.

Velin rewarded Hebrew by funding improved equipment for the Ice Bear Knight Order. 157 178 180 182

As a Gold Knight, Hebrew fought at Dwarf Stone Pass alongside Orlando. He later led the Blackrock Army during the fall of Liebeck City and received the Ice Sword Camp's banner after the Second Battalion's campaign. 336 669 670

Hebrew's reckless charge against Dobik exposed the danger of challenging a higher-ranked Holy Seal warrior directly. Despite the setback, he continued to mature as a commander, independently directing operations in the Grand Duchy of Brera and the Rabber District. 693 771 774 775

Fifteenth Army and Southern Campaign

Teleportation Array Island

Hebrew oversaw the Adventurer Office on First Teleportation Array Island and helped support the island's expanding trade system. However, Velin repeatedly caught him reading adventure storybooks instead of reviewing documents, eventually returning him to Orlando's supervision in Baimu Province. 2103 2175 2176 2188 2189

Qixing Legion Appointment

During the kingdom's military reorganization, Cassius, Belder, and Orlando recommended Hebrew to command the Qixing Legion. Velin appointed him Legion Commander, Palace General, and General of the Royal Capital City Defense Army, with the rank of Ninth Rank Archon. 2240 2241
