Takt Alsaholn Faubrey

Takt Alsaholn Faubrey (タクト＝アルサホルン＝フォブレイ) is one of the main antagonists in The Rising of the Shield Hero.

Appearance
Takt is described by Naofumi as having a well built and handsome face. His hair is gold, and his eyes are blue. He looks like a stereotypical westerner, closely resembling the old Motoyasu.

His clothing consists of a rough jacket and pants which is unusual for the surrounding culture. Under his crown is a bandana, which doesn't suit him. His presence reminds Naofumi of Kyo.

Personality
As observed by Naofumi, Takt has displayed all of the negative personality traits of Itsuki,Ren and Motayasu had when they were first summoned, with Takt only being much more worse.

Similar to Ren and Itsuki, Due to being praised for his genius all of his life, Takt is arrogant and egocentric to the point of reaching a god-complex. He believes that he is literally above everyone else and that he was completely incapable of making mistakes of any kind and refused to admit any fault in his actions or logic. This combined with his arrogance and hubris had lead to Takt to make incredibly destructive choices that ultimately causes mass destruction. The most notable example of this is when the legendary heroes did not praise him for his power, he decided to take their power for himself and 'save' the world himself by conquering it to "prove" his power as the one "true" hero.

However, despite his massive ego and belief that he was incredible and without fault in battle, Takt has proven that he is fact naïve and childish to an almost unbelievable level. Takt's idiocy and lack of genuine wisdom in matters of war was so bad that even, King Aultcray, the Wisest King of Wisdom, deemed Takt to be nothing short but a gigantic moron as he made one bad decision after another. His naivety and lack of understanding the implications of war is further seen in his apparent hypocrisy that after killing thousands of innocent lives, he is outraged when one of his companions is killed and was incapable nor interested in understanding the reason for her death.

Finally, Takt has shown weakness for women similar to when early Motoyasu's sex-fueled urges were on full display but at a much higher and depraved degree. He commanded his companions to kill all the guys and capture the women for him. He also '"freed" women that he deemed to be brainwashed to be part of his harem and killed their families if they offered any resistance. He also decided who would be his alchemist based on which one was infatuated with him.

He quickly made his name as an accomplished adventurer and then he won the martial arts tournament in Shieldfreeden. Just before the wave hit, he was selected as the Hero of the Whip.
