Personality: At first blush Lorenz is rather grating. He seems shallow, pompous, and unremarkable. The same charm that many of the members of his class have is missing from the nobleman despite having the most refined upbringing, by far the highest status both politically and socially for his entire life. In the years following their time at the Academy Lorenz is faced with challenges and ever higher stakes for them.

While in his class' route he learns and grows from continued interactions with his classmates, developing into a better man and friend, without that binding figure of the Professor Lorenz... is something of a coward. With or without the Professor he is always something of a braggart. He does not have a shred of tact and will mention his name and status at every turn. He is rather reminiscent of a peacock, strutting around flashing the most extravagant of what he can offer a partner... Because it is what he has been taught his entire life is important. The most important thing. The only important thing.

Nothing about him is unique or valuable in any way, or so he's led to believe. His father is a ruthless, manipulative man that has no need for a son. Only an obedient heir that will ensure he and his House will excel no matter the cost. In routes where he is not recruited Lorenz is either never seen again, too well groomed by the Count to dare speak against him. Or, as in Azure Moon, when he does appear on the field he speaks of longing for the days at the Academy, free from his Father's influence, and insists that he has no choice but to fight for the Empire or die.

And die he does.

Which is not to say he does not have the same capacity for change and improvement as he does in other routes. Even before his death his mannerisms are less abrasive, calmer and more refined. The very thing that he spent his youth brandishing in everyone's faces becomes a thing that brings him only shame. But the reasons he was so eager to sing his own praises, that need for acceptance and validation that he has never (will never) receive from his father, has not changed. But perhaps, without the toxic influence of The Count, he will be able to find it in him to grant himself that acceptance he yearns for.
