About Astolfo

Astolfo is one of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemange. Among these, Astolfo is said to be the most handsome and optimistic, but he completely lacks sense. Here is some more information about the popular Astolfo.

Background

Astolfo is a constant optimist. He is happy and curious about everything around him, no matter what is going on. When he is not busy taking care of his duties as one of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne, Astolfo seeks out the world’s pleasures. He is a bit of a blabbermouth, who often speaks without thinking. He also often gets himself into trouble a lot with his meanderings, with all hard decisions being made based on how his heart feels at the moment.

Special Abilities

Though he is part of the Twelve Paladins, his fighting abilities are rather weak. Most of Astolfo’s power comes from his luck, most things going smoothly despite his lack of fighting capacity. He is a valuable war asset because of his relationships with the Noble Phantasms. In battle, Astolfo uses a sword and chainmail.
