Tetsu Hagane (テツ・ハガネ?) is a minor supporting character in Tales of Hearts. Appearing only in the original incarnation of the game, Tetsu can be found in jail cells and asks the party repeatedly if they want to hear about his "sins." Tetsu also serves as a support arte. In Tales of Hearts R, he is referenced during the scene in which Beryl Benito's joke weapon is obtained, appearing on the wanted poster she nabs from the prison.
Appearance and Personality[]
Tetsu is a tanned, muscular man with red hair and a single red eye, his left one being scarred and missing. He also bears a large scar on his chest, visible through his red shirt, which is long and torn at the bottom. He wears black pants and armor on both his arms and legs. His look is completed with a black, tattered scarf around his neck and a large sword bearing the resemblance of a nail.
Trivia[]
- "Tetsu" and "Hagane" are Japanese words for "Iron" (鉄?) and "Steel" (鋼?) respectively.
- His name was at first an idea for what to name Kor, but the developers thought it would be "too much" for a protagonist so they scrapped it. The name became an inside joke during the game's development however, so they made a "joke" character to go with the name.
- Unlike others in the game, his support arte has a low chance to fail. In such a case, he accidentally throws his sword behind him, a bead of sweat drips down his face and he swiftly disappears from the battlefield.
