Nesty is a characters from Summon Night 2. Although he is originally from the second game, he returns in light novels, drama CDs and others games in the series.
Personality[]
He is a very cold, intellectual and responsible person. He has a very sharp tongue, especially towards the main character. Because of his strict personality, he is always giving lessons and training to the protagonist. He is so strict that the line “Are you stupid?”, which he always says when dealing with the protagonist had become his personal catchphrase. This harsh treatment is not exclusive to the main character. He is not a very sociable person and aside from the ones he recognizes as capable people, he doesn’t even like to talk. For this reason, everyone would always mistook him for a scary person, making the atmosphere around him pretty heavy. For him to acknowledge someone's age, gender and social position doesn’t matter and even little girls like Minis can become someone that he respects. He, however, does feel bad when he noticed that the main character was struggling to become a full-fledge master for his sake, and this had help the two to form a closer bond.
Background[]
Nesty is the adopted son of Rail Bask – one of the masters in the Blue Faction. He is very proud of his father and is especially strict with himself, as to not embarrass his father. He also feels something special from the main character, and for this reason, he goes along with him/her on his/her journey to become a full fledge summoner and is always trying to help the protagonist in everything, not just as an upper-class man but as a friend or even a brother.
