Crusader Agate

Crusader Agate is a 9-foot tall knight made of orange coral and clad in blue steel armor. He wields an anchor of the same metal encrusted with the same coral in the name of the weak, the innocent, and those who dislike starchy foods. Though he is willing to defend any who are in need, his main goal is to fight against the menace of pasta, the slippery noodles of which are behind all evils in this world. Despite this deranged outlook, Agate manages to actually do good, as he considers everyone, even evildoers, victims of a some ever-present carb-based conspiracy, and thus worthy of his protection. This doesn't mean Agate isn't willing to engage in a gentleman's hold to keep them from hurting others, but he tries to keep his weapon reserved for his true enemies and those who are certain to be a danger to the innocent in the future.

He was once a palace guard, charged with the duty of keeping an artifact, Storm Bringer, safe. He came to sentience by chance, simply waking up one day. Soon after, he witnessed the death of the merfolk king after eating a plate of pasta, and rather than suspecting poison, immediately blamed the food itself. The following days didn't bring the arrest of any noodles, so he considered the palace compromised, and moved Storm Bringer somewhere that he could always keep track of it - his own body - before fleeing the scene.

Captain Stand, while doing a training exercise, discovered Crusader Agate walking along the bottom of a river beside Aalen Monastery, and recruited the knight to his crew and the party. Since then, Agate has been useful in fending off Hectariel and the Dynasty's legions, in turn learning of the concepts of "battle brothers" from the Captain and of the true meaning of words from the Doctor. Though Agate's purpose continues to be the protection of Storm Bringer, he has been awoken to the wonders of a wider world.
