Adelbert Steiner

Adelbert Steiner is a playable character from Final Fantasy IX. He is the leader of the Knights of Pluto and is assigned to protect Princess Garnet. His name may be a reference to famous scientist Albert Einstein.

Story
Steiner is distrustful of Zidane at first, but eventually comes around when he realizes Zidane would not harm Garnet. He gets along well with Vivi. Steiner eventually admits that he is attracted to General Beatrix.

Equipment and Stats
Steiner's job (or class) is a Knight. He uses swords and heavy armor.

Abilities
Steiner's Sword Arts include stat breaks and several powerful attacks such as Thunder Slash and Shock. While Vivi is in the party, Steiner can use Sword Magic to enhance his attacks with magical powers, but the kind of magic applied to his sword is directly related to what magic Vivi has learned, i.e. Fire Sword is only available if Vivi knows a fire spell. Steiner's Trance causes him to inflict three times as much damage as usual.
