Saint Germain

Saint Germain (サンジェルマン, San Jeruman)^? is a quest giver and a character in the series.

History

Saint Germain, also known as the Count of St. Germain or Comte de Saint Germain, is a European adventurer, with an interest in science, alchemy and the arts which achieved prominence in European high society in the mid-1700s, who made far-fetched claims among other things to be three hundred years old, to know the secret of universal medicine, and to be capable of melting and forming diamonds, leading Voltaire to sarcastically dub him "The Wonderman."

St. Germain used a variety of names and titles, an accepted practice amongst royalty and nobility at the time. These include the Marquis de Montferrat, Comte Bellamarre, Chevalier Schoening, Count Weldon, Comte Soltikoff, Graf Tzarogy and Prinz Ragoczy.

He reveals his identity if Raidou asks him; he then decides to leave, feeling his work in Raidou's era is finished.
