Rickert Hoffman

Rickert Hoffman (リッケルト・ホフマン) is the former Royal Tutor of the Kingdom of Lugunica. Debuting in Arc 3's early stages, Rickert has yet to play a pivotal role in the main story.

Appearance
Rickert is a man in his 40's with a small moustache and short slick-back grey hair. He can usually be seen wearing a nobles' attire, befitting of his position in the Kingdom.

Personality
Rickert is a man prone to emotionally voicing his own opinions. He disagreed with selecting any Royal Selection candidate who happened to be found and instead sought people who were suitable for the throne. He also questioned how some of the candidates could be monarchs when he believed they were unrefined and lacked education.

History
In the distant past, during the Subjugation of the Evil Dragon, Rickert was visiting the city of Picoutatte, and was amidst the crowd that ran through the city streets in a frenzy. Rickert was saved from an impending death by Razak Gildark; however, Razak himself died in the process. As a result, Rickert decided that he wanted to inherent Razak's will. He came to have an amicable relationship with Razak's son, Marcos Gildark.

At an unknown age, Rickert became the Royal Tutor, a position his family had inherited. He had a son, Rachins Hoffman, who later left the Hoffman family when he was older and went to the Royal Capital's slums.

Trivia

 * According to the author, Rickert is supposedly a "very nice person", and he will also be receiving his own named chapter some time in the future.
