Sergei Strelka (セルゲイ・ストレルカ Serugei Sutoreruka?) is a supporting character in Tales of Zestiria. He is the captain of the Platinum Knights, a special group inside the military of Rolance. Sergei has a younger twin brother, Boris Strelka, with whom he became part of the Platinum Knights.
History[]
Sergei first appears when Sorey and company attempt to enter Lastonbell. Due to Sorey's involvement in the recent battle against Rolance, the Shepherd is being sought out as a criminal and supporter of the Kingdom of Hyland, prompting Rose and the seraphim to trick Sergei into believing that Sorey is her husband, tasked with escorting her to a canteen for business purposes. Sergei then allows them to enter Lastonbell.
Soon after, Sergei confronts both Sorey and Rose in the town's sanctuary, as he knew the pair had lied about their objective. Sergei challenges Sorey to a battle, and after the latter achieves victory, he reveals himself to be a follower of the Shepherd. Sergei asks Sorey to meet with him in the city of Pendrago and aid in exposing Cardinal Forton, whom he believes has something to do with the disappearance of Pope Masedra.
In Pendrago, Sergei and his men battle a hellion follower of Forton's, who then flees into the Shrinechurch. Afterwards, Sergei invites Sorey and Rose, as well as the seraphim whom he cannot see, to the base of the Platinum Knights. There, he reveals that he had received permission for the pair to enter the Shrinechurch, and explains the loss of his brother after he investigated clues about the Pope and cardinal.
Later in the story, Sergei appears in the second battle between Hyland and Rolance in the Glaivend Basin when the dragon Tiamat appears. Together with Alisha Diphda and the army of Hyland, as well Lucas and his men, Sergei serves as a support for Sorey and Rose in their fight against Tiamat, who is defeated. After this, Sergei becomes an important part of the peace negotiations between Hyland and Rolance.
Appearance and Personality[]
Opening still from Tales of Zestiria.
Sergei is a large man with short brown hair, a goatee, green eyes, and a small scar above his right temple. He wears the uniform of the Platinum Knights, which consists of heavy silver armor with a short, cream colored surcoat worn over it. A vertical red stripe covers the front of the surcoat, and his red cape is split into two large, wing-like pieces. A large piece of metal, once more resembling a wing, protrudes from his right shoulder.
Personality-wise, Sergei is a hardworking and very respectful man who believes in the seraphim despite not having enough resonance to see them. He cares deeply for the people of Rolance and desires to protect them, rather than wage pointless war against Hyland. Sergei is honest and pure, continuing to believe that Sorey and Rose are married despite having recognized their other lies.
Fighting Style[]
Combat-wise, Sergei knows the fighting style of the Platinum Knights, which includes the special arte Lion's Howl, a move also known by Georg Heldalf, the ex-general of the Platinum Knights. In battle, Sergei fights with a single sword and uses melee artes such as Sonic Thrust and Dragon Swarm.
Trivia[]
- Sergei trained his senses so much that he can defend himself against attacks by seraphim, despite being unable to feel, hear, or see them.
