Zeek

"I would have endured it if I was the only one who had to suffer. But my young siblings went through the same torture because of me. After hearing their screams, I couldn't take it any more... I begged forgiveness and became a dark knight of Gerxel to save them. Laugh at me all you want... My loyalty, my pride as a knight... I lost it all on that fateful day..."

- Sieg, in a conversation with Kate

Sieg (ジーク Jīku, translated as Zeek or Zieg in fan translations) is a playable character from TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga. He is dark knight of the Zoa Empire who accompanies Gwenchaos during his assault on the Temple of Mars. In the resulting battle, he defects to Runan's army, claiming to be a knight of the destroyed kingdom of Barge.

Profile
Sieg is the younger brother of Karla and uncle of Shigen. When he was 4 years old, he and his family were sent into slavery by Reeve's people, set to be declared as witches once they became of age because of their Zoan heritage. While his parents and three eldest sisters were burned at the stake and Karla was saved by Gwenchaos, Sieg remained in slavery for a total of 25 years. Three years prior to the game's events, he was freed and joined the reborn Zoa Empire as a dark knight.

In his first conversation with Kate, Sieg professes to her that he was sent into slavery by the Zoa Empire, where he was eventually forced into servitude as a dark knight. Initally, he attempts to distance himself from her, but this proves useless as Kate insists on spending most of her time with him. Over time, he comes to genuinely care about her. If both of them are sent with Runan after the first route split, Sieg will save Kate from a poisonous spider in Map 17.

Eventually, he betrays Runan and rejoins his sister in the Zoa Empire. In Map 31, he fights against Holmes's army and ends up captured, but escapes with the help of Kate. Before she realizes the truth about him, Sieg asks her to join him in the Gerxel Church. Soon, they are approached by a dark priest, who takes Kate as a prisoner, and Sieg does not object. Later, in Map 39, he dies fighting against Runan's army.

Recruitment
He first appears as an enemy unit in Map 5 (wearing a helmet that hides his face). To recruit him, have Runan speak to him or allow him to speak to Runan. However, he later leaves the player's army in Map 24, and will appear again as a non-recruitable enemy unit in Map 31 and the boss of Map 39.

Overview
Sieg, to use, or not to use, 'tis the question of the day. Sieg is absurd, boasting some of the best growths in the game, and is in a powerful class to boot. The Dark Knight class has powerful stats and is immune to the backfiring effect of the Devil Lance and is thus, amazing. Sieg's powerful stats are backed up by a powerful set of combat skills. In short, Sieg is a powerhouse and will break the enemy on his knee. However, Sieg is not available for the entire game, and you must kill him, so keep this in mind.
