Encyclopedia
is a character in the My-Otome
anime
and manga
series. In the manga, his name is Sergej August Taiki. He is voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi
in Japanese and by Phil Fulton in English.
's adoptive father.
Sergay was in Windbloom as an exchange student when it was attacked by rebels 15 years ago, the same time that the princess went missing. Prior to that he had a major crush on Rena Sayers, the former Blue Sky Sapphire, Otome of the King of Windbloom, and was good friends with her as he has pictures with her in an album Nina Wáng
found when she was younger. Rena treated him affectionately as though he was her younger brother. It is because of this when he finds the Sapphire GEM on Arika Yumemiya
, that he concludes that she is Rena's daughter, thus he secretly sponsors Arika at Garderobe. Nevertheless, he keeps up a poker face in front of Arika and teases her whenever he gets the chance, no doubt in reminiscing of his time with Rena. For Nina, Sergay tries to act as much like a responsible father as he can for her and supports her whenever and however he can. It is also later revealed that he is familiar with Juliet Nao Zhang whom he picked to become one of Artai's Otomes.
While Nagi was visiting in Windbloom, both himself and Sergay toured around the city as well as Garderobe and followed the Headmaster, her staff and the students when they head out to the Aries Republic for an exam. During the incident when Arika and Erstin became lost, Nagi and reminds Sergay not to betray him and continue his mission, which is to find the real princess. During the exam, the Aswad knights were in the area searching for hidden technology, which Arika unfortunately got involved in. Sergay came to her rescue and the two hid out on the beach since Arika was soaking wet and shivering from the cold. Sergay used his own body to keep Arika warm during the night, which lead to a very interesting situation when she woke up the next morning.
Time passes and Arika develops a partially-encouraged, confused crush on Sergay. Ironically, Sergay received information around the same time that the one who carried the Blue Sky Sapphire is the real princess and received orders from Nagi to seduce the princess
in order to manipulate her. This throws Sergay into a conflict as he questions his feelings and loyalty to his country. In the end, he betrays Nagi and keeps Arika's identity a secret and promptly rejects her love.
After the events when Schwarz takes over Windbloom, Sergay is given a second chance to work with Nagi again and is assigned a team of Valkyries
to capture Mashiro. During the chaotic events prior to this, Sergay finds himself conflicted again with his feelings and loyalties but this time chooses loyalty due to his love for his daughter, Nina. Among the Valkyries, Chie Hallard joined his team to spy on Artai. When asked if he was displeased, Sergay simply replied that he feels calm with her on the team and works with Chie directly more than with the other Valkyries.
He later decides to destroy the Valkyrie core, but John Smith stops him and the two briefly fight with Smith dying. However, just as Sergay is about to destroy the core Nagi shoots him in the head, rendering him comatose
and near death. Nagi proceeds to use Sergay to spur Nina on with the hope that the Harmonium could heal him. After the final battle Sergay is taken to a hospital, and after an unspecified amount of time awakens without his memory
with Nina, who has taken him to a secluded location in Artai to romantically nurse him back to health.
In My-Otome Zwei
, Sergej briefly appears living in the same locale, seemingly content to live out his life with none of his memories before he woke up in the hospital.
In the manga, Sergay August Taiki is the prime minister
of Windbloom and a colonel
of its army. He originates from Artai and knows Nagi de Artai well.
Sergay behaves in a rather dark and sinister way most of the time - without displaying even the slightest bit of compassion his anime counterpart was known for. He sponsors the fake Mashiro's attendance in Garderobe in order to further his plans. He wants the boy fully under his control and often loses his temper when faced with Mashiro's vigor. Instead of the crush his anime counterpart had on Rena, this Sergay displays antipathy towards her, being unhappy that she is still alive. This Sergay is also older than his anime counterpart, as he is already depicted as a young adult when Rena is retiring from her service to the Windbloom throne, whereas he was only a child in the anime when Rena had already given birth to Arika.
He later completes the change of roles from the plotline of the anime by becoming the main antagonist
instead of Nagi, and releases the dark HiMEs to fight the Otomes and bury the world in destruction. It is interesting to note another reversal from the anime where he was one of those who knew that Mashiro was not the true princess although others believed her to be real. In the manga, he reveals the true origins of Mashiro as actually being part of the royal bloodline instead of just being a fake as was believed. With the power of the Ultimate Black Diamond, he commands Fumi to Materialise and seems on the edge of victory, only to be defeated by the combined power of Mashiro, Arika, Nina and Erstin. As he lies apparently dying, however, he tricks Mashiro into coming near and then takes the Pure White Diamond, transforming into a great monster. This "victory" is only temporary, though, as Mashiro draws on the power of all the Otomes to Materialise his own Robe and kill him for good.
