Croix Bartel

"I joined the Grand Bell Knights because I admired the ideals of Metafalica."

Croix Bartel (クロア・バーテル, Kuroa Bāteru) (known as Chroah Vatel in the Japanese version) is the main character of the game and a promising young knight who eventually finds himself involved in a battle far beyond his wildest imagination. He was adopted by Reisha when he lost his parents that was killed by Infected Leyka, living with her and Luca until 4 years ago, when he left for Pastalia to become a Grand Bell Knight. 2 years earlier, during an I.P.D. outbreak, he rescued Cocona, taking her in as family; they have been together ever since. (Possibly as a result of this, he hates missions involving the capture of I.P.D.s, even though he knows he has to stop them.) Cynthia at the Pastalia weapons shop is extremely fond of him, often giving him recipes that she says are "made with love" and embarrassing him deeply. He usually wears glasses when not fighting due to poor eyesight, but takes them off when he goes into battle, saying in one conversation with Luca that his sight is not so bad that it affects his combat skill and pointing out the risks of his glasses potentially shattering in battle. He becomes caught up in a rapidly-escalating civil war during one of his missions, soon finding himself directly protecting the Holy Maiden of Pastalia and in for an adventure that will decide the fate of the entire world.
