An engineer, he is said to be the greatest genius since the beginning of the <> clan, and played a variety of dark roles in the Lesser Kingdom.
He manipulated a man named Marcus, seduced Erza's father, and forced Saki's grandfather, Marquis Gehlen Theodoric von Eisen, to drink arsenic-laced wine. .......
He was bitter that his golem was not as good as Reiko's. He was also a bit of a fool.
However, he released his resentment when Jin and Reiko saved the <>, then known as the <>, in the <> Incident.
However, his ambition to create a golem or automata that would surpass Reiko's has not disappeared, and he has left the peaceful with his whereabouts unknown.

"...... that Markosias had an apprentice?"
Jin guessed that both San Marco and Marconen were reported by the old man to be , so they could not be his children or grandchildren.
"From what you've told me, that's a strong possibility."
"I see. ......"
Jin and Rhodes were discussing this,
"Hey, hey, what does that mean? Tell me too!"
Rubina urged them.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Let's see, it was a long time ago... ......"
Jin told Rubina all about his history with Markosias. He made sure to conceal the evil he had done.
"I had such a past. ......"
<
"Yes. So I'm sure she's a student of his. From what I've heard, it's a bit of an unusual technical system.
This is the story we heard via Elena.
She said that there were some subtle differences from Adriana Barbora Zetsi's lineage.
I would like to meet her if I have the chance.
As a long-lived people, it is possible that Markosias himself is still alive.
Jin wondered what he would think when he saw Reiko, who has been further improved since then.

"Well, here we go..."
Jin finished his tea and resumed his work.
"Aren't you going to try to skip it?
Rubina asked,
"Yes, I just wanted to tell you one thing before that," replied Jin.
Jin answered.
"I thought it might be a good idea to do some <> on this kind of development.
The wind is blown in a large room to test a one-off model and full-size components.
"That way, we can reduce the time and risk of building and testing a real machine."
"Oh, that sounds great."
"That sounds better than just building a model and flying it.
Both of them seemed to immediately understand the meaning and significance of the project.
"So, we're going to build a test wind tunnel here in Toka. It will be the first wind tunnel in Ars, and it will be used by many people, and it may even become a monumental tourist attraction.
"I see, so you are thinking that far."
"I see, so you're thinking about that too." "So it would be good for the village."
Since neither of them seemed to have any objections, Jin decided to talk to the mayor.
"But first, let's have a test drive.
All three were equally interested in comparing the different variations of the < that each of them had made.
"This is ......! It will take me a while to get used to it."
Rubina is test riding Jin's plane, Jin is test riding Rhodes' plane, and Rhodes is test riding Rubina's plane.
This allowed us to understand the characteristics of each aircraft.
And again.
"It's stable, but what can I say? Sluggish?"
"Well, it's a real horse, isn't it?"
"It's a straightforward maneuverability. ......"
By having Rubina in Rhodes' plane, Jin in Rubina's, and Rhodes in Jin's, they could clearly see the difference.
"......, so let's share our thoughts."
"Yes, sir."
It may sound tedious, but it is important for engineers to rethink what they have based on hands-on experience.
Jin wanted to teach this to Rubina.
"What Jin-san just told me about , I felt that it was exactly the right thing to do," Rhodes said, opening his mouth.
Rhodes opened his mouth and Rubina agreed with him.
"Me too, me too! I also thought that my seasoning was a bit extreme.
"Really? I thought it was pretty mild after all.
After riding in Rubina's and Rhodes' aircraft, Jin felt that his aircraft had become, at best, an honors student, at worst, a featureless <.
"I don't think so. I think mine is a bit extreme."
Rubina contradicted Jin's words.
Jin felt that they seemed to be a little lost after having ridden each other's aircraft.
"But still, the <> makes such a difference, doesn't it?"
Rhodes said impressed.
"Yes. It's not really a modification, is it?
Although a few parts have been installed, at a glance it looks like the same model.
To the uninitiated, however, it is quite different. .......
"Yes, they are. If we can extract what is needed to make these three aircraft unique and reproduce them by simply replacing optional parts, then we can consider developing them for the general public.
In essence, the idea is similar to the options and grades used to sell passenger cars in modern Japan.
"So you are assuming that you will sell them, right?"
"Eventually, yes."
There are still many issues to be resolved, such as cost and licensing.
We do not intend to sell it immediately, nor will Jin sell it.
"It will probably be sold by <> or <>."
The scheme is that manufacturing = Horai Island and sales = Avalon or Nostalgia.
"It might be a good idea to build a maintenance shop in Toka village. And then there is the license center.
If a license system is introduced, it will be necessary to conduct on-the-job tests, and the village will be revitalized by conducting them here in Toka village.
"Jin-sama, you have thought of many things, haven't you?
"Yes, of course.
"But if only Toka village develops too rapidly, won't the surrounding villages and towns be resentful?"
Rhodes expressed his calm opinion.
"Certainly, that may be the case. If that's the case, it might be better to give a role to the villages of Lachnoe, Doppa, and Charles.
Jin concluded that it would be up to the Kingdom of Klein to decide.
