Appearance
Welt is a handsome brown-haired, brown-eyed man whose unexpectedly youthful appearance surprises Li Ming. He commonly wears a grey casual suit and presents a calm, serene bearing. 27 28
- Brown hair and brown eyes. 27
- Appears younger than Li Ming expects. 28
- Uses blue energy constructs that assemble in modular, block-like patterns. 32 43
Personality
Welt is outwardly amiable, patient, and approachable as a professor, readily assisting students with academy procedures and inviting Li Ming, Himeko, and Raiden through Anti-Entropy’s hospital access. 27 39
As Anti-Entropy’s leader, he is deeply concerned with humanity’s safety, the unresolved Honkai threat, and an unknown signal from space. He nevertheless neglects his own recovery despite lingering injuries. 29 39
He can be calculating when necessary. After discovering Li Ming’s concealed activities and Honkai erosion, Welt uses surveillance footage, intimidation, and carefully controlled disclosures to recruit him into [Alahato]. 42 43
Abilities & Skills
Herrscher of Reason Authority
Welt materializes blue-energy constructs for transport, surveillance, restraint, and combat.
- Constructed an aircraft and flew it from Las Vegas to California in order to intercept Schicksal’s incoming missiles. 32
- Materializes weapons, cannon emplacements, screens, and mechanical hands. 33 38 42
- Used a virtual mechanical hand to lock a hospital office while confronting Li Ming. 42
- Can disassemble Type I Clones layer by layer for examination. 38
Anti-Honkai Combat
Welt is capable of independently responding to major Honkai-related threats and Type I Clone incidents.
- Intended to handle two out-of-control Type I Clones himself despite Einstein’s concern over his injuries. 29
- Destroyed the cores of two Type I Clones before their pseudo black holes could fully manifest. 38
- Located Li Ming’s battle against the California clone and intercepted missiles rather than intervening directly in the fight. 32
- His exertion can aggravate his injuries; after the California operation, he coughs blood as his constructs dissipate. 33
Research and Analysis
Welt investigates anomalous Honkai phenomena alongside Anti-Entropy’s researchers.
- Identified that the California and Las Vegas clones had developed consciousness and could absorb and control Honkai Energy. 33
- Compared experimental clone outputs, finding that ordinary Type I Clones could not reproduce the California clone’s 500 HW energy level. 38
- Investigated Li Ming’s unusual armor, martial arts, and apparent resistance to the effects of Honkai erosion. 40 42
- Worked with Tesla to assess Li Ming’s condition and administer an inhibitor derived from Li Ming’s serum. 43 44
Leadership and Strategy
As Anti-Entropy’s Alliance Leader, Welt directs defensive preparations and covert operations.
- Ordered the deployment of the Silver Bullet Array in New Mexico after an unknown signal was traced to space. 39
- Planned the evacuation of endangered Anti-Entropy contacts from Schicksal to Qinghe Port. 47
- Entrusted Li Ming with information on H&K Company branches and the cleanup of its remaining operations. 44 45
Background and History
California Institute of Technology
Welt first meets Li Ming while substituting for Professor Lieserl at the California Institute of Technology. He introduces himself as an academy professor, processes Li Ming’s paperwork, and later arranges for Li Ming to work in Einstein’s laboratory. 27 28 29
Type I Clone Incidents
When Type I Clones go out of control in California and Las Vegas, Welt refuses Tesla’s proposal to deploy the Alahato test unit, choosing to deal with both threats himself so that Alahato remains concealed. 29
During the California crisis, Welt constructs an aircraft, arrives above the city, and intercepts the missiles launched by Schicksal while Li Ming battles the clone below. He is impressed that Li Ming can contend with the entity despite being an ordinary human. 32
Welt later examines Type I Clones in Anti-Entropy’s training room, but their comparatively low output leaves the California clone’s abnormal power unexplained. 38
Monitoring and Recruiting Li Ming
Welt arranges a hospital examination for Li Ming after learning of his contact with the mutated clone. The results show 200 HW of Honkai Energy within Li Ming, incomplete traces of Schicksal serum treatment, and a risk that Li Ming could become a Herrscher. 39 40
After observing footage of Li Ming’s actions during a Honkai-influenced episode, Welt confronts him at the hospital. He reveals knowledge of Li Ming’s condition, offers him membership in [Alahato], and transports him to a secret facility for treatment. 42 43
With Tesla, Welt has Li Ming tested and treated with a custom inhibitor. He then provides Li Ming with H&K Company intelligence, his contact information, and [Alahato]’s stated mission of protecting the world from destructive threats. 43 44
Later Activities
Welt continues overseeing Li Ming’s missions and equipment; he and Tesla modify the White Star Exorcist Kai into a close-combat weapon. 48
He also serves as a research supervisor for Himeko’s Extraterrestrial Civilization Research club after the discovery of Asteroid 439. 46
Equipment / Items
- Blue-energy constructs — Aircraft, weapons, laser cannons, surveillance screens, and mechanical restraints formed through his Herrscher authority. 32 38 42
- [Alahato] inhibitor — A mass-producible inhibitor developed from Li Ming’s serum and Anti-Entropy’s existing inhibitors. 44
- White Star Exorcist Kai modifications — Welt and Tesla convert Li Ming’s protective bracers into close-combat killing weapons. 48
Relationships
- Li Ming — Student, recruit, and monitored Honkai-erosion case. Welt recruits him into [Alahato], arranges treatment, supplies H&K intelligence, and continues supporting his operations. 40 43 44 48
- Ritsell Albert Einstein — Anti-Entropy colleague and research collaborator. She questions Welt’s willingness to overextend himself and his decision to assign dangerous work to Li Ming. 29 38 39 45
- Frederica Nikola Tesla — Anti-Entropy colleague who assists with clone response, Li Ming’s inhibitor treatment, and equipment modifications. 29 43 48
- Raiden Ryoma — Anti-Entropy associate who receives Welt’s orders to deploy the Silver Bullet Array in New Mexico. 39
- Himeko Murata — Caltech student whose thesis Welt has read; he later becomes a supervisor for her Extraterrestrial Civilization Research club. 39 46
