Backstory

The Detective left Silvernia three years before the game begins, following an unspecified disaster. They return during the third year of Queen Feliana's reign to investigate the death of their sibling, described in official materials as investigating "the origin of that fatal shot." The Detective operates within a fragile justice system complicated by opaque noble politics.
Their personality is described as rational, reliable, clear-minded, and efficient. The Fandom wiki quotes them saying: "Let's cut to the chase. Can't have the witness dying before the testimony is taken."
Companion
Alf, MISS Maid No. 49, is the Detective's assistant. Despite her poor housekeeping skills and lack of common sense, she proves dependable in combat situations. The character Ashley, an intelligent young woman, also enlists the Detective's help during the story.
