Cecilus Segmunt (セシルス・セグムント)

Well over ten years ago, Vincent came into contact with young Cecils and took him under his wing as he recognized his insane prowess with a blade. From there on out, Cecils acted as Vincent's sword.

Roughly 7 years before the start of the main story, Vincent and the rest of Drizen Vollachia's children entered a competition known as the Emperor Selection Ceremony in which they slaughtered each other with a sole goal of surviving and claiming the title of the 77th Vollachian Emperor. During those dangerous times, Vincent often employed Cecils on different missions, most often on assassinations. One event in particular catapulted Cecils' name amidst the ranks of the most feared and renowned swordsmen alive; Lamia Godwin and Prisca Benedict orchestrated the sieging of the Abellux Castle. Lamia commanded her army known as the Pruning Corpse to siege the manor's entrance. As a countermeasure, Vincent employed a single swordsman- Cecils Segmunt. Cecils single handedly slaughtered the entire army which numbered in hundreds. The word of a one-sided slaughter soon spread throughout the Empire and soon reached the ears of the neighboring countries and kingdoms as well, forever engraving the Blue Lightning's name in history.

A couple of years before the main story, Cecils was tasked to escort a convoy in Vollachia and act as a bodyguard of an important person and Elsa Granhiert was sent to assassinate him. Cecils and Elsa proceeded to fight; Cecils easily came out victorious but slipped up and gave Elsa an opportunity to kill the VIP - which she did.

Short after the death of the Lugnican Royal Family (roughly 6 months before the start of the main story), Reinhard van Astrea, Julius Juukulius and Ferris accompanied Miklotov McMahon and Bordeaux Zellgef, two members of the Sage Council, on a diplomatic mission to Vollachia in order to negotiate a pact of non-aggression between the Kingdom and the Empire. After an unprecedented turn of events which lead to the three Royal Guards and Vincent escaping to a nearby forest, Cecils was dispatched and ordered to retrieve the Emperor and kill the "murderers". After locating the trio of Julius, Ferris and Vincent, Cecils began his faceoff with the Spirit Knight. Seconds before finishing the fight and beheading the knight, Reinhard came to the rescue and swiftly defeated the Blue Lightning with a single kick to his neck. Cecils and the two Divine Generals accompanying him retreated.

Roughly a month after the Vollachian Incident, Cecils was sent on a secret mission to assassinate or bring back the perpetrator who wanted to seize the Vollachian throne in the events of Imperial Diplomacy of Bloodshed - Gramdart Holstoy. On his unannounced trip to the Kingdom, Cecils encountered Julius and Ferris. After exchanging words over a nice cup of tea, Cecils requested their help as he wanted an opportunity to fight the Sword Saint for real. After initially refusing to give him help, Julius and Ferris finally gave in as if they'd continue refusing, they'd lose their heads and risk further unnecessary bloodshed. They told the Blue Lightning about Reinhard's whereabouts and upon realizing there's no way to fight him, Cecils decided to stay in the Capital and eagerly await the red haired Knight's return. He spent the next couple of days in the Juukulius Household where he spent his time talking with Joshua Juukulius and sharpening his sword skills. Not long after, Cecils ran away in search of the Vollachian traitor; it took him no more than a couple of hours to locate him, slaughter his guards and behead him - or so he would have done if Chisha Gold, the Divine General sent to help Cecils retrieve Gramdalt, wouldn't interrupt him. After their successful mission, they were preparing to return back to the Empire when news came of the Sword Saint's return and Cecils was finally given an opportunity too face off against the most powerful opponent in the world. Reinhard van Astrea with his Dragon Sword Reid unsheathed and Cecils Segmunt with his beloved Murasame and Masayume fought; both survived the battle but Reinhard came out victorious.
