Adelbert Steiner, thirty-three years old, is the Captain of the Knights of Pluto. He pledged his life to Queen Brahne and Alexandria, and lives to serve her and protect Princess Garnet.
When Zidane and the rest of Tantalus “kidnap” Garnet, Steiner becomes willing to give his life to save his princess and return her to her proper home. In doing so he becomes quite an annoyance to Tantalus and many of the other characters, including Garnet. He eventually gets to a point where he deceives the group for his own intentions. He believes Zidane is evil, and attempts to do everything he can to get Garnet back to Alexandria and to Queen Brahne.
He has a love and respect for Princess Garnet and worries about her well-being, and while annoying, he only attempts to return the Princess to the Queen because he feels it’s best for her. He’s blinded by his own perception, and it leads to self doubt.
Ironic to his rough exterior, Steiner is really a sensitive man. He has feelings that he forces himself to get rid of because he feels he has to be strong for the Princess. Even with an ability to hide those feelings, he has constant inner battles with himself about his life and his purpose.
Steiner is also highly dramatic, bringing a lot of comedy to the game. He has a tendency to jump to conclusions without evaluating everything to the fullest, and it puts him and the rest of the party into trouble.
Steiner gets them out of that trouble a lot, though. Steiner is a very strong addition in battle by himself with his weapons, and teamed with Vivi, he has some of the strongest magical moves.
Steiner’s important, he’s funny, and he’s interesting. He is clearly one of the more complex characters in the game.
