Ciggma Khint

Ciggma Khint is a character in Bravely Default. He is a spell fencer hired by the K&P Merchantry to protect its members. He holds the Spell Fencer asterisk.

Appearance and Personality
Ciggma Khint is a 37-year-old man. He is very serious and, according to D's Journal, nobody has seen him smile since he left his family to learn sword magic many years ago. He always seems to put his payment first, if he thinks that he has been paid enough, he is willing to leave his client after he got his share.

Story
Having been involved in the invasion of Eternia, Khint was one of the few who did not profit from the invasion. However, when his daughter fell ill, Khint took to become a hired bodyguard for the K&P Merchantry to get the money needed to save his child. While he left Jackal and Erutus Profiteur to their fates when he sees no money to gain in their respective losing battles, Khint wholly supports Eloch Quentis Khamer VIII in his battle when the king offers him the kingdom's riches.

Later, it is revealed that before he took the spell fencer asterisk he was in charge of a unit that helped the Eternian forces oust the previous regime with Holly Whyte as one of the members of the unit under his command and is viewed in high regard by both Holly and Einheria Venus who then take battle against Edea in one of the alternate worlds to test her strength.

Battle
He protects the other Merchantry members, but leaves their fights once the other foe is at half health, saying that the price is too low to risk his own life. It is only when the heroes unmask the King as Eloch Khamer the Time Mage that the heroes have an opportunity to defeat him, and therefore claim the asterisk.

Khint appears later in the game after the Holy Pillar is entered by the heroes and appear in a different world.

Etymology
"Ciggma Khint" is an anagram for "Magic Knight". The same is true of his Japanese name, in which the katakana symbols form an anagram of "Magic Knight".
