Vesta

Vesta (ベスター) is a former minister of Dwargon and is currently the minister of science for Tempest.

Appearance
Unusual for a dwarf, Vesta is of a slender build, and rather tall, around the height of a normal human. Vesta seems to need glasses to help him focus during research; when serving as a Dwargon minister, he wasn't seen with glasses.

Personality
After joining Tempest he has become more reliable. He got rid of that sharp personality and mellowed out.

Vesta is an unexpectedly useful dwarf. Rather than politics, he is made for science. He was very boring when he was obsessed with political power.

Background
Vesta was the son of a marquis and second-in-command of Dwargon's engineering corps. He often argued with Kaijin, head of the engineering corps. At some point, the corps launched a magic-armor soldier project. Kaijin warned Vesta that he was proceeding too quickly with the project, but his advice was ignored. A failed experiment grounded the project to a halt, and Vesta put the blame on Kaijin. Kaijin took full responsibility and resigned from the corps.

Trivia

 * In the anime, Vesta bears an eerie similarity to Amshel Goldsmith from Blood+ during his time in Dwargon.
