History
A liberating invention needs a liberated world.
— Sergei
Let me tell you about a dude named Manu....
Sergei was a diligent and innovative inventor known for his advanced designs that were often underappreciated and scorned by the authorities of his time. Despite his intelligence and hard work, he faced challenges in selling his inventions, and by the time of the Gate Rune War, none of his creations had been successfully marketed.
His inventive work was driven by a desire to expand freedom and benefit users of his creations. Drowning his sorrows in a tavern in Kaku, he found the hero receptive to his ideas and so joined the Toran Liberation Army as an early member.
A notable achievement by Sergei was the installation of his invention, the elevator, at Toran Castle. This creation proved to be a valuable time-saving device for officials within the Liberation Army. In combat, Sergei utilized his trusty spanner, an essential tool in the development of his elevator invention.
Following the conclusion of the Gate Rune War, Sergei's fortunes changed dramatically. His inventions gained widespread recognition and adoption, leading to significant wealth earned through patents and royalties.
