Tessai was a blacksmith who by the time of the Dunan Unification War found himself jaded and uninspired, looked for a sword to inspire him. When he noticed that Viktor wielded the Star Dragon Sword, his passion returned and he begged to join the New State Army in order to work on the sword.

Following the Dunan Unification War, Tessai's stock as a blacksmith rose considerably. He continued to work at the New State Army Headquarters.

Personality and Traits

Tessai was highly reverential towards the Star Dragon Sword, treating him with the respect the sword felt he deserved. In fact, his fawning kept the sword from destroying the smithery in Kuskus.
