Background / History

Nid is the legitimate heir of the Bredwich Family. From childhood, he received elite training in martial arts, swordsmanship, military strategy, leadership, and logistical planning—not simply to strengthen him as an individual, but to shape him into a qualified leader. 339

His earliest experience of war shattered his heroic ideals. In a later battle, the deaths of his friends drove him to desert; he confessed this failure to his sister Loxue. Although he became publicly revered for charisma and military achievements before reaching adulthood, he continued to see a gap between the invincible leader people worshipped and his own insecure, compassionate self. 327 339

As commander of the Blood Blade Knights, Nid led the Revolutionary Army against the Church. He depended heavily on Loxue's strategic judgment while serving as the army's decisive combat force. 293

Appearance

Before her reconstruction, Nid presented as a tall, athletic young man with grayish-white hair, usually dressed in a dark-red military trench coat, black-lined leather clothing, boots, and a greatsword carried on her back. 403

• In formal attire, Nid wore a black tailcoat, white shirt, bow tie, fitted trousers, and black leather shoes; she found the outfit deeply uncomfortable. 403
• Her pre-reconstruction physique was described as broad-shouldered and muscular, with a handsome, battle-hardened appearance. 401 403
• Following reconstruction, Nid concealed her changed body beneath padding, makeup, and clothing until revealing the truth at her coronation. 509
• As an emperor, she has white hair, heterochromatic eyes, crimson lips, a curvaceous figure, and a distinctly androgynous yet regal presence. 676

Personality

Nid is compassionate toward soldiers and enemies alike despite her ruthless effectiveness in battle. She rejects the idea that subordinates are expendable tools, and personally confronts threats rather than sacrifice troops merely to gather information. 294 347 385

In private, Nid is dull, introverted, reserved, and easily flustered by romantic attention. She dislikes formal social settings and struggles to trust people whose intentions are obscured by politeness and etiquette. 339 401 403

For much of her life, Nid defines herself through others' expectations: Loxue's guidance, the Revolutionary Army's hopes, and the image of an invincible commander. Under pressure, she enters a detached “combat state” through self-hypnosis. Selace's torture and the Saint Emperor's provocation eventually force Nid to claim her own desires and fight for herself. 347 385 426

Abilities & Skills

Supernatural Ability

Nid can transmit attacks through a medium, allowing slashes and impacts to strike targets at extreme range. Her attacks can bypass conventional distance and defensive formations.

• Decapitated an enemy commander and one hundred Divine Spellcasters from more than two hundred meters away, seemingly ignoring their shield wall. 294
• Can project force without a sword; a gesture from several meters away knocked over a cup. 304
• Her offense is devastating against defenses, but the ability offers little protection for allies and leaves her comparatively vulnerable on defense. 294
• As a Hybrid Ability User, Nid also possesses enhanced physical strength. 404

Swordsmanship and Force Control

Nid is a master swordsman trained in both conventional martial arts and the use of the Emperor Slaying Sword fragments.

• Compresses broad, destructive slashes into a single precise line capable of piercing a target without cracking the surrounding material. 327
• Controls five blades at once—including a greatsword, longsword, broadsword, saber, and goose-quill knife—to attack from multiple angles. 352
• Uses Circular Annihilation to rapidly eliminate enemy formations. 294
• Used Liberate·Emperor Slayer to stop an enemy suicide attack, accepting the cost to her own strength to protect her troops. 294

Physical Combat

Nid combines physical enhancement with rapid reactions and improvised close-quarters combat.

• Dodged Divine Spell attacks while carrying the poisoned Loxue and escaped a large Inquisition encirclement. 404
• Learned Inch Collapse from Sakura Dance, using it to destroy a floor from within and escape into the mansion basement. 405
• Can propel herself through the air by using the recoil from her own transmitted attacks. 404

Crown of the Saint Emperor

The Crown of the Saint Emperor recognizes individuals with kingly potential and summons an ancient mechanical legion.

• Summons silver-white, four-meter mechanical giant soldiers known as the Saint Emperor's “invincible army.” 407 437
• Used the Crown during the Inquisition ambush in a desperate attempt to escape with Loxue. 407 408
• Its activation inflicts overwhelming mental and physical strain, nearly breaking Nid's consciousness. 407 408
• Later deployed the Crown again to turn the tide against the Church's pursuing army. 437

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Greatsword — Nid's primary weapon; highly compatible with her Supernatural Ability and capable of releasing the power of Emperor Slaying Sword fragments. 304 327
• Four auxiliary blades — A dark-blue longsword, rusty saber, knight's broadsword, and goose-quill knife carried alongside the greatsword for major battles. 403 405
• Emperor Slaying Sword fragments — Divine Artifact fragments embedded within Nid's equipment; later surrendered as payment to Sakura Dance and Haoyue. 304 509
• Crown of the Saint Emperor — Ancient crown that commands the mechanical legion at severe personal cost. 407 408

Relationships

• Loxue — Younger sister and Nid's closest emotional support. Loxue supplies strategic composure where Nid lacks confidence, while Nid is fiercely protective of her. Her poisoning and death devastate Nid. 293 385 404 408
• Knox Brad / Uncle Brad — Trusted ally and mentor figure who advised Nid to open up emotionally; later exposed as a Church spy who helped poison Loxue and trap Nid. Selace kills Brad after his betrayal. 402 404 408
• Sakura Dance — Ally and physical-combat mentor who taught Nid the basics of Inch Collapse. 405
• Haoyue — Ally who rescues Nid from Sin Annihilation's ambush. 431
• Yang Yujie / Yu Jie — Rival Templar Knight and recurring opponent. Their clashes become ideological as well as physical, and Nid later respects Yu Jie's resolve to protect Spirit Sacrifice. 347 466 470
• Selace — Director of the Divine Law Cult's Inquisition; orchestrates Nid's capture and tortures her for Revolutionary Army intelligence. 404 417 426
• Saint Emperor — Appears to Nid in visions and dreams, repeatedly challenging her worthiness to wield the Emperor Slaying Sword and rule. 385 426

• Battle against Yu Jie — Nid confronts Yu Jie alone rather than risk her soldiers, deploying her multiple blades and Emperor Slaying Sword fragments against Yu Jie's assimilation ability. 347 348 352
• Bredwich banquet and Inquisition ambush — During a merchant-guild banquet, Loxue is poisoned and Brad betrays Nid to the Inquisition. Nid fights through the mansion while carrying Loxue and ultimately invokes the Crown of the Saint Emperor. 403 404 405 407 408
• Captivity and Baptism — Broken by Loxue's death, Nid endures Selace's torture in silence before reclaiming her own will and breaking the seal on her powers. 417 426
