Cecilus Segmunt

Cecilus Segmunt (セシルス・セグムント) is the "1st" ranked member among the Nine Divine Generals of the Vollachia Empire and the Emperor Vincent Vollachia's sword.

Appearance
Cecilus is a young-looking man with a rather soft and feminine look to his face; such that some people could easily mistake him for a woman if they were to glance over him. He is relatively tall and has a very slim frame which gives off a youthful and rather easy-going impression, with a hint of childishness. His long deep-blue hair is tied back behind his head. Just like his hair, Cecilus' eyes are of blue colour and give off a rather playful and relaxed aura; his friendly and gentle smile accompanies his face rather perfectly. Perhaps his most striking facial feature is a small black more resting on the left side of his chin, just under his mouth. To complement his hair colour, Cecilus can most of the time be seen wearing primarily bright blue and peach-pink robes with an intriguing design at its edges. He can also be seen wearing a golden hairpin holding his left bangs behind his ear, which seems to be similar to the edge designs of his blue robes. Finally, finishing his classical Japanese look, Cecilus can be seen wearing handwoven zori and two katanas held to his waist by a white strip of cloth; the katanas are red and blue respectively. All in all, Cecilus is dressed in a typical outfit one would find in the western city-state of Kararagi.

Personality
Although considered a rather charming and easy-going person, as the strongest member of the Nine Divine Generals, Cecilus is incredibly prideful of his position, to the point he believes that he should be the center of the universe and therefore receive attention and praise, which in turn often results in him looking down of other people and treating them as inferior. He's shown to be rather childish as well, overreacting to small and insignificant things which often tick Vincent off. Despite this, he is absolutely loyal to the Emperor, referring to himself as his sword, and is neigh impossible to bribe.

He is also implied to be somewhat of a flirt as he told the thugs that attacked him that he would be far happier to give them his signature if they were women. He is also shown to be generous, as when he gave the owner of a restaurant too many holy coins and he mentioned that she deserved it.

His sole goal is to achieve the "Heavenly Sword" title, a title that is made for the strongest swordsman existing. Contrary to belief, if it means achieving the Heavenly Sword, he would easily go against the word of his majesty Vincent.

Abilities
Blue Thunder (青雷 Seirai): Cecilus is able to attack his opponents with blue thunder, which is the origin of his epithet. He can also imbue his katanas with its power.

Extraordinary Speed: Cecilus is able to move as fast as lightning, surpassing human senses, being able to run right through checkpoints without being noticed. When he's serious, he removes his zoori before he runs.

Extraordinary Swordsmanship: Cecilus is extremely skilled with the sword. Utilizing his inhuman speed and reflexes, Cecilus can move at breakneck speeds, circle the enemy and strike them down with extremely precise and powerful slashes. It is noted that most opponents do not manage to block more than one of his half-serious attacks and when Julius was able to block all seven slashes, Cecilus was left genuinely impressed and decided to take the opponent a bit more seriously. When serious, he can move at such speeds that his opponents think they're fighting hundreds of Cecilus clones at the same time. In combination with his insane sword talent, inhuman speed and razor sharp katanas, Cecilus in his early teens, single handedly slaughtered an entire army that was sent to kill Vincent Vollachia, more than seven years prior to the beginning of the main story.

Equipment: Cecilus wields two katana in a red and a blue scabbard respectively which he usually keeps at his waist. His main katana is called Murasame (村雨) which is also known as the Fiend Sword (邪剣), and his second katana is named Masayume (正夢) which is also known as the Dream Sword (夢剣). Those are his best and second best swords, but he also possesses a variety of other swords, as collecting them is his hobby. His fifth best sword was broken by Julius.

Immense Power: Cecilus is extremely powerful. He's well known around the world as one of the most powerful swordsmen alive; as a mere teenager, he single handedly slaughtered an entire army. He is one of three characters that are around Reinhard's level of power and has caused the latter to draw the Dragon Sword Reid.
