Knight Leader

Knight Leader (騎士団長 (ナイトリーダー)) is a British noble whose real name haven't been revealed in the novels. He is the captain and leader of the Knights of England, one of the three organizations in charge of Britain's magical affairs along with the Royal Family and Necessarius. He and the knights are allied with the second Princess Carissa forces during the English magic civil war against her sister, the third princess Villian.

He once tried to ask Kanzaki Kaori to a dance, but was told by Tatemiya she likes younger men. Though later it is revealed he is a good friend with Kaori and helped her to deal with the various nobles when she first came to England, and does not see Kaori in a romantic light. He tried various times to recruit Kaori into the Knights to try and set a precedent to allow women to join the Knights, saying the sexist views of the past should be abolished. Though this might also have the hidden motive of removing a powerful piece from Necessarius and adding it to the Knights Faction.

The Grandmaster is also a good friend with William Orwell, even though he himself is a Knight and William is a mercenary. He sees William as a friendly rival in terms of fighting ability, and as a drinking buddy as they often drink together after dealing with incidents before William left England.

Abilities
As a knight, he is a skilled swordman who fights weilding his sword called the "The Fauce of the Dragon King" (Hrunting). When he had the Blessing of Archangel Michael that was given by the Original Curtana, the Grandmaster shown great skills and was capable of defeating Kanzaki Kaori with absurd ease, not even needing to draw his own sword: he was capable of moving at speeds even the Saint can't match; managed to capture the 'Nanasen' (Seven Flash) steel wires with his hand, scrunch it up into a steel ball then thrown it back as an attack against Kanzaki; and managed to stop Kanzaki's 'Yuisen' (only/single Flash) attack that was said to be capable of even harming Christian Archangels with only one of his hand. He himself stated with the Archangel's blessing the only one in England at that time that could have matched him was the leader of the other factions, such as the Archbishop Laura Stuart, and even though Queen Elizard have great skill she doesn't possess the same destructive power as he does.

In addition, he has shown he is capable of using these spells:

- This spell can only affect something that uses a weapon/medium, so anything that's purely magical/power related won't be affected by it. In addition, he mentioned it cannot stop Archangel Gabriel/Misha's wings in Volume 21, stating it is more like a body part than a weapon.
 * Thororm's Formula: Its a defensive spell wich regardless it's magical or scientific as long as the caster can identify it then the offensive value of the weapon can be "Set to zero". This effects lasts around 10mins. In the case of projectiles like bullet or arrows they would loose all momentum and becomes useless. Explosives would need other interferences to explode after the effect expires. The bunker cluster missile which was launched against him during the civil was pretty much just stopped all functions and fell out of the sky after been "Set to zero". One thing worth noting is that the missile bounced around on the pavement and caused no damage at all. He also mentioned that in theory it can affect nukes. If the caster can't see the weapon then the spell can't be casted. Also if the attacker is a royalty it won't be affected by it. This spell has its flaws, as shown when Carissa decided to launch many difference types of missiles during the final battle, which the Knight Leader can't block them all at once due to the possibility of mistaking one kind of missile for another.


 * Imitating how a star like the Sun expands to the point it collapses onto itself and forms a black hole, he can use a gravity field to attack the opponent. The Grandmaster says his capability isn't enough to create a real black hole, but he can still create a powerful gravity field attack.

Trivia

 * In mythology, the sword Hrunting was given to Beowulf in order to aid him in slaying Grendel's Mother. However, though the sword was said to never have failed anyone who previously used it, it proved ineffectual against Grendel's Mother and he was forced to discard it.
