Pierre Io Feivel

Pierre Io Feivel (ピエール・イオ・フェーヴェル) is the second son in the Feivel Household, one of the six nobles in the second installment of the Otome Game. He is a sacred tree user and the first antagonist Leon encountered among the six nobles.

Appearance
Pierre has purple hair and matching eyes. His skin is pale. He possesses his family's seal on his right hand.

Personality
Pierre is notoriously known for being a delinquent and extremely unpleasant individual. Although he is the second son of the Feivel Household, Pierre's conduct lacks discipline and refinement. He usually speaks with rude, egotistic, and demeaning manners, especially when he deems another person inferior to him.

Like most Alzer nobles who receive the Sacred Tree's blessing, Pierre has an extreme case of superiority complex. Moreover, being a member of the Six Great Nobles makes Pierre's elitism particularly awful. He considers anyone outside the Great Nobles beneath his station, including aristocrats from foreign lands. He once called Brad a fake noble and referred to the Holfort Kingdom as a third-rate country.

However, in many ways, Pierre is still considered the worst, even by the standard of the Alzer nobles. While most of them, at the very least, still show restraint and self-control, Pierre will go out of his way to abuse his power for amusement. Being a cruel and arrogant tyrant, Pierre loves tormenting people he deems inferior and constantly finds new targets, primarily among commoners who do not possess crests.

In addition to his tyrannical behaviors, Pierre is a man without honor who has no qualms about employing underhand methods, including scam, thievery, blackmail, and even abduction. Unlike more patriotic nobles such as Fernand, Pierre is corrupt and self-serving, caring for nothing but himself. He conspires with pirates and smugglers to make profits and disregards how his criminal activities undermine his nation's interests.

Behind the tough guy's facade, Pierre is a feeble coward. For all boastful words and threatening acts, he's only willing to target those who can't retaliate. He quickly backs down when faced with another Alzer Great Noble, such as Louise. Leon described Pierre as a craven who can only torment the weak to obtain a sense of dominance and compensate for his fear and inferiority toward people of equal status.

Story Overview
Original Game: Otome Game Pierre was the first enemy and antagonist of the second otome game.

Volume 4
While he was hanging out and drinking with his goons, Pierre noticed Brad, who was being surrounded by female students. Feeling irritated and jealous by the scene, Pierre decided to target the group of exchange students. He started by assaulting their caretaker, Jean, and hanging him from the tree.

He and his goons later ambushed Brad behind the school building. Although Brad initially had an advantage due to their crude skills, Pierre soon subdued Brad with the power of the Sacred Tree. Pierre and his underlings then went to Marie's mansion. He tricked them into swearing on the sacred tree and betting Einhorn on the fight. At the same time, he also set conditions that made the duel unwinnable for Julius and others. As a result, Pierre successfully stole Einhorn and Arroganz from Leon.

When Leon confronted Pierre for taking his ship, Luxion seemingly changed sides. Pierre then insulted Leon while daring him to take his properties back. But he also claimed that he would accept the duel only if Leon had something valuable to bet on. Unbeknownst to Pierre, Luxion merely pretended to join him for information gathering. The actual owner of Einhorn and Arroganz remained Leon.

While dealing with smugglers, Pierre learned that Leon had obtained a sacred tree sapling. Pierre confronted him, and the two agreed to an armor duel, with Pierre betting on Einhorn and Luxion and Leon betting on the sapling. As usual, Pierre had no intention of fighting fairly; He agreed with the armor duel because he knew no shops in Alzer would sell armor to Leon. Additionally, Pierre had Carla kidnapped before the fight as extra blackmail material.

Leon showed up without armor on the duel date, as Pierre expected. Unfortunately, he unknowingly fell into Leon's trap. Having predicted Pierre's underhanded scheme, Leon used the armor duel to cover his scheme. He successfully tricked Pierre into accepting a condition that he could not use the Sacred Tree's power. Leon also gambled that Pierre would pilot Arroganz in the duel, which he did. Since Luxion was loyal to Leon and had complete control of Arroganz, no attack from Pierre could hit Leon actually. On top of nullifying all of Pierre's supposed advantages, Leon effectively locked Pierre in Arroganz, preventing him from interfering with the plan's second phase.

As Pierre was increasingly frustrated, Leon finally began his counterattack. Luxion seized control of Arroganz, synthesized Pierre's voice, and fired missiles into the crowd. Using the false flag attack, Leon directed Alzer nobles' anger toward Pierre and ensured no one would aid him afterward. In absolute panic, Pierre frantically ordered Luxion to explain the situation to the audience. Much to his surprise, Luxion coldly rejected Pierre's order. The AI also mockingly revealed that he merely feigned his loyalty to Pierre for gathering information. As a parting word, Luxion told Pierre to accept the retribution for making fun of his master.

Pierre is then pulled out of the machine by Leon. Deprived of armor and unable to use the power of the Sacred Tree, Pierre was hopelessly outmatched by Leon, who savagely beat him without mercy. The audience went frenzy at the sight of hated Pierre being one-side battered. In his agony, Pierre broke down in tears and pleadingly tried to surrender; Leon, aware of Pierre's past evil deeds, quickly shut him up by punching him in the mouth.

Leon was eventually declared the winner, and doctors immediately treated badly injured Pierre. Before he can do anything, Pierre is dumbfounded after being told that Einhorn is attacking his family, seemingly on Pierre's orders. Leon then provoked him by demanding his properties be returned, and the annoyed Pierre began retorting before he stopped mid-sentence. The color was rapidly leaving Pierre's face when Pierre came to understand the situation. Regardless, Pierre could not keep his end of the deal. As a punishment, the Sacred Tree thus stripped Pierre of his crest. After losing his divine protection, Pierre collapsed and sobbed uncontrollably. Leon ridiculed the disgraced noble as a final insult, calling him a magnificent clown.

After Leon stopped Einhorn, the Feivel Household announced that Pierre had committed suicide to atone for his actions. Still, Deirdre speculated that his older brother likely imprisoned and tortured him since Pierre plotted to usurp his older brother's position.

Relationships
Within months after Leon started his study in the Alzer Republic, Pierre established himself as Leon’s enemy by attacking his companions and seizing Einhorn and Arroganz. With his supreme confidence in the protection from the Sacred Tree, Pierre believed that he could bully Leon like he always did to other people. At one point, Pierre even fantasized about stealing Leon’s fiancée for himself. However, antagonizing Leon proved to be Pierre’s gravest mistake resulting in his ultimate demise. As he underestimated Leon’s cunning and vindictiveness, not only Pierre suffered a brutal and one-sided beatdown in the duel, but his spirit was also utterly crushed from being stripped of his crest. At last, Leon put the final nail in the coffin by destroying Pierre’s already wrecked reputation with the false flag attacks to ensure no one would help the disgraced nobleman.
 * Leon Fou Bartfort

Leon unreservedly disdains Pierre, deeming him a scum who deserves no sympathy. When he heard about Pierre’s possibly being tortured by his brother, Leon nonchalantly remarked that Pierre reaped what he sowed. Upon taking possessions of Einhorn and Arroganz, Luxion publicly announced that Pierre was now his owner. The arrogant noble did not suspect a fool play and took the Luxion's word for it. Unfortunately for Pierre, the AI's action was a mere facade for gathering intelligence, and his allegiance remained to Leon. Moreover, Luxion was actually angered by Pierre's mockery of Leon. When the pretense finally ended, Luxion coldly mocked Pierre for his incompetence and told him to accept payback for insulting his master.
 * Luxion

Noelle despises Pierre to always bully any low community citizens. Her hatred reaches the peak after Pierre tortures Jean
 * Noelle Zel Lespinasse

Pierre picked on Jean just because he is a committee to lead the study tour students
 * Jean

Pierre picked on one of the Prince, Brad to be bullied and had him to be severely injured. Not enough with that, he attacked the whole group with a one-sided challenge and Julius made a rush to agree despite Marie having said to not accept it.
 * The Prince's Entourage

Pierre mocked Marie at the same time after he had taken all of Leon's property because of the princes' clumsiness.
 * Marie Fou Lafan

By having Leon become his enemy, he indirectly turned Louise into one too. However, by Louise's impression of Pierre, it can be assumed that Pierre looked down on her just as he did on others.
 * Louise Sara Rault

Abilities
Like other Alzer nobles, Pierre received a crest from the Sacred Tree. Because of his overreliance on the Sacred Tree's blessing, Pierre had feeble physical and magical abilities. He was noted to be weaker than even Brad in close-quarter combat, and his magic skills were also crude. When he was forced to face Leon in hand-to-hand combat without aid from the Sacred Tree, Pierre was predictably helpless before the skilled veteran from the war against the Principality of Fanoss.

Equipment
During earlier of Alzer Republic event, Pierre gains ownership of Luxion for a short time.
 * Luxion
 * Einhorn
 * Arroganz (decorated to have many spikes)
