Hassam Crown

About
Hassam Crown was a first-class citizen of the magic nation of Zeth and a member of the prestigious Crown noble family. He was the son of the country's Secretary of Finance Zulki Crown and the fiance of Emi Alphone.

He was a tall man with a rather shifty appearance, sporting sunken in eyes, a crooked nose, and a demented smirk. Like all members of the Crown family, he sported red hair, which he kept tied back in a ponytail. When acting as Saber Knight, he wore terrifying-looking armor with screaming faces engraved onto it.

A cruel and sadistic young man, he lacked an sort of empathy for second-class citizens, considering them to be little more than walking piles of garbage. He derived a great deal of pleasure from watching the suffering of the lower class, and frequently bet on the slave pit fights in Radon Alphone's arena. He was not completely heartless, however, and genuinely seemed to be devoted to his fiance Emi, who would take advantage of this devotion in order to get him to do things for her. At some point, Hassam grew bored of simply watching second-class citizens getting killed, and decided to begin hunting them himself for fun. Taking on the name "Saber Knight", he would disguise himself in armor and prowl the lower class districts of Zeth, butchering any second-class citizens that amused him. As the security forces of Zeth favored first-class citizens over second, his crimes were almost never reported and the few times they were were simply written off as hunting accidents and excused. Over time, he would begin taking Emi with him on these hunts as dates, and would allow her to pick which citizens he would kill. During the events of Rance VI, he was challenged and defeated by the Green Corps division of the resistance group Ice Flame led by Rance, though he managed to escape with his life. His loss humiliated Emi, who called off their marriage. Hassam made several attempts at revenge by killing the Green Corps in order to win back Emi's love, but he failed every single time. Eventually, he was killed by the Pentagon member Kinggeorge Abare during the organization's raid on his father's estate. He was later resurrected as a zombie alongside his father by Papaya Server in order to battle Ice Flame, but lost once again.

Abilities
Compared to the otherwise inactive and unimpressive nobility of Zeth, Hassam was a formidable warrior who was skilled with a sword. He possessed an above average Level Cap of 31 and was very close to reaching it at the time of his death. Additionally, the armor he wore when acting as Saber Knight was magically enchanted, giving him a great amount of physical and magical resistance that allowed him to shrug off most attacks. While the majority of the people he slaughtered were defenseless innocents, he was perfectly capable of holding his own in actual combat, and in fact destroyed every single member of Ice Flame's Black Corps, with the exception of Prima Hononoman, on his own. When facing the Green Corps, he was capable of putting up a difficult fight completely unaided, despite the group containing formidable warriors such as Rance and Kaoru Quincy Kagura, which further proves his skill.

As a first-class citizen of Zeth, Hassam also had to have passed the magic exam, meaning he had some skill with the Magic Arts. Despite this, as he lacked any magic skills, he was much more notable as a warrior than as a mage.

Trivia

 * As a member of the Crown family, he was actually the cousin of Zeth's Flame General Saias Crown. While the two never meet in game, Saias' vocal distaste of the nobility and his attempts at distancing himself from his family name suggests that they were not close.
