Geocron Striegov (ジオ・ストリーガウ Jio Sutoriigau?, "Geo Striegov") is a minor antagonist in Tales of Hearts.
History[]
Throughout the story, Striegov seems loyal to Azide Silver. After his death, however, his true colors are shown. In truth, Striegov is collecting Spiria cores simply for the sake of it. In fact, he was the one responsible for sabotaging Silver's willstone cannon, which resulted in Perl's demise. Taking this opportunity, Striegov stole the Spiria core from Silver's daughter, Lapis. One day, he was offered a deal by Creed Graphite to drain all of Organica of their Spiria in return for the leftovers. When he reveals this, Ines Lorenzen is filled with rage at the traitor, and the party makes it their mission to kill him and save Lapis. The next time he is fought, Creed injects Striegov with a xerom to amplify his Soma. However, this ends up doing more harm to his body than good, as he is defeated anyway, and the xeroms within his body emerge as Gardenia absorbs his Spiria, leaving him calcified.
Appearance and Personality[]
Striegov is a sadist who gets off on other peoples' suffering, having taken many Spiria cores, and getting a kick out of Silver's suffering and Ines's anger at him, so much so that the whole party, and even Creed Graphite consider him trash.
Fighting Style[]
Striegov's Soma takes the form of a drill over his right arm, which he uses to remove the Spiria from others. In combat he instead uses it as a weapon, often thrusting or swinging it at the opponent. In some cases, he will use it to hurl rocks from the ground. In the original game, Striegov will sometimes drill through the ground and shoot out to ambush the target.
In Tales of Hearts R, Striegov's move set is slightly altered. The dig attack is removed, giving him more of a simplified approach. Xeromized, he gains two artes, each conducting the Xeroms' dark power, as well as reflecting his demented desires regarding his Spiria collection.
Trivia[]
- In the original Tales of Hearts, when Striegov is first defeated Ines goes in for the kill, only for Kohaku Hearts to stop her. Not wanting her to soil her hands meant for Lapis.
- In Hearts R, Gall Gruner interferes instead, and even offers to do it himself before Creed saves Striegov.
