Allen Schezar is the son of Leon Schezar and Encia Schezar, and the older brother of Celena Schezar. Allen is one of the Knights of Caeli, an elite order of swordsmen in Asturia that only allow 12 into their ranks at any one time.

Personality

"Prince Chid, have you ever believed in someone with all your heart? Sometimes it takes more courage to believe in someone than to fight. Highness, do you understand the meaning of that kind of courage?" Allen Schezar

"You know... you may be the first woman to ever refuse my advances." Allen Schezar

Allen is a generally amiable young man who has proper etiquette, especially when speaking to women. He is a dashing ladies man who often steals the hearts of women. His face resembles that of Amano Susumu. He is cool, calm, collected, and a very brave and efficient fighter. In contrast to Van who is highly impulsive and wears his emotions on his sleeve, Allen is more analytical and precise in battle, and is often cautious when making decisions.

Appearance

His design and demeanor are quite different in his movie appearance

Allen has long blonde hair and blue eyes. Other than his hair and eye colour, his appearance is uncannily like that of Amano Susumu. He is 21 years old.

Early Life

"There is nothing brave about rashly choosing to die. Van, you are Fanelia's king! As long as she has a king and a people, Fanelia has a future. Bearing indignity such as this is the mark of true courage. A samurai's life is meant to save others. Don't forget that!" Allen Schezar

His father left in search of Atlantis when Allen was just a boy. His younger sister, Celena was kidnapped by Zaibach, and his mother died of grief soon after. After all his great losses, Allen harbored a deep resentment towards his father, and became bandit during his formative years. While he was a teenager he was confronted by one of the three master swordsmen of Gaea, Balgus, who took him in and trained him to be a Knight.

During the war

"His skills has improved enormously, in a very short space of time. But he takes too many risk. If he keeps this up, he'll get himself killed." Allen Schezar to Van Fanel

Allen Schezar meets Hitomi and Van when the Mole Man tried to rob Hitomi of her pendant necklace. Allen comes to Hitomi's aid and she faints thinking he is Amano. Thinking that he was the cause of Hitomi fainting, Van attacks Allen, and is swiftly defeated. Allen brings the two of them to his outpost, where he tells them that Fanelia has been destroyed.

Allen is the pilot of the Guymelef Scheherazade.
