Sterkenburg Cranach
A knight of the kingdom. He's serious and boring. He often ends up with too much work because he works so hard. Sterk was a knight stationed in Arland, and is an extremely loyal and hard working individual. He has great respect for the King of Arland and lives to protect others. After Arland became a republic and knighthood was abolished, Sterk became a powerful adventurer and a self proclaimed knight, unable to change his lifestyle. Aside from delivering tasks to Rorona, he can also be hired as an escort. He is expensive at first, but by completing his requests from the guild the cost to hire him will decrease. In the events of Atelier Totori, now a retired knight, he is searching for the king of Arland, and protecting Arland and novice adventurers from monsters at the same time. He has scared numerous characters with his face (Totori screamed upon seeing him for the second time, and Ceci upon hearing this thought he was a kidnapper), even Rorona who has known him for years. He is currently searching for Gio (King of Arland), and helping Totori on the side. (Source: Wikipedia)
