He is the only human doctor in the world who specializes in treating monsters.

Although he often appears timid and younger than his age, he is sincere, deeply just, and intensely devoted to medicine.
His voice actor is Shunichi Toki.

Glenn has a timid and somewhat meek personality, which makes him seem unreliable at first glance.
In truth, he is earnest, kind, and driven by a strong sense of justice.
Since childhood, he has devoured books about monsters and medicine.
His curiosity is enormous, and once he begins examining a patient, he can become so absorbed that he forgets to consider their feelings.
Saphentite has even criticized him for lacking tact when he gets too focused on diagnosis.
He is also an unconscious workaholic who cannot stand the idea of leaving an illness untreated.
If no patients come to the clinic, he is the type to go out on house calls just to search for someone in need.
He has even collapsed from overwork.
He is hopelessly inexperienced in romance despite being admired by many monster women.
Even so, in his heart he had already chosen Saphentite as the person he wanted to marry.
Glenn was born as the second son of a wealthy merchant house on the eastern edge of human territory.
His father is an executive of the Eastern Trade Alliance.
The Litbeit family business is a long-established shipping merchant house that has served the Senate for generations.
It holds enormous influence, effectively controlling all ships around the capital.
He once stood to inherit great power and status, but he chose not to take part in the succession struggle.
Instead, he yielded the family position to his older brother, Sohen Litbeit.
That decision caused serious conflict within the family and nearly led to his disownment.
His relationship with Sohen remains poor because of the trouble surrounding the succession.
His family consists of his father, mother, older brother Sohen, and younger sister Siu Litbeit.
Aside from the hard-to-read Sohen, his family relationships are generally good.
He left home almost like a runaway in order to become a doctor.
Since then, he has barely kept in contact and has not replied to even a single letter.
Though highly educated and able to write not only the common continental language and human script but even ancient characters by imitation, he is terrible at correspondence.
He is, simply put, a poor letter writer.
When he was young, Saphentite, who was staying with the Litbeit family at the time, developed a fever from a rare poison.
Glenn desperately searched through books to find a way to detoxify it.
That experience became the starting point of his dream to become a doctor.
His desire to save others, especially monsters, began there.
Glenn became the first human ever to study abroad in monster territory.
At the Nemea Academy, he studied medicine and monster physiology in earnest.
He is the only human physician recognized as a specialist in monster medicine.
His teacher, Cthulhy Squele, allowed only Glenn to open a clinic in Lindworm.
That approval marks him as a true prodigy.
While his speed may lag behind his master, his precision and delicacy in treatment are said to be beginning to surpass her own.
During his academy years, he worked in the same laboratory as Saphentite and Lime, helping with consultations about the troubles of monster patients.
His dedication to medicine was already extreme at that stage.
He also studied eastern healing methods such as acupuncture on his own.
Because his master was skeptical of the concept of vital energy, he had no formal teacher in that area.
Later, he paid off his debts using the fee he received for selling the medical records of Oni Transformation Disease.
After that, he finally achieved full independence.
While studying at the academy, Glenn suffered a serious fall caused by overwork.
The accident resulted in a cerebral contusion.
He survived thanks to treatment by Cthulhy Squele and Lime.
However, he lost his short-term memory as a consequence.
This injury became one of the defining hardships of his medical career.
Even so, he continued forward and remained committed to helping patients.
Glenn is a brilliant doctor with exceptional technical finesse.
He is especially skilled at careful and delicate procedures.
He served as one of the surgeons involved in Skadi Dragenfelt's operation.
He also took on the difficult task of persuading her to accept surgery in the first place.
His dream is to have a hospital of his own.
However, he does not want to become the administrator of a huge medical center; he insists on personally examining each patient one by one.
He possesses broad learning beyond medicine.
In addition to reading and writing the common language and the script of human lands, he can even reproduce ancient writing by observation.
He is from the eastern region, so he has a natural tolerance for earthquakes.
This is treated as a distinctive trait tied to his homeland.
Glenn has some stamina, but not enough to be considered athletic.
Sohen once joked that Siu had taken away all of Glenn's physical strength.
Because he devoted himself entirely to study, he has absolutely no training in martial arts or combat techniques.
Still, as a descendant of a family with oni blood, he can summon surprising strength in emergencies.
In a crisis, he is capable of carrying a woman in his arms.
That is about the extent of his notable physical power.
He is also terrible at cooking.
The one exception is medicinal food and drink, such as egg wine, which he can prepare quite well.
Saphentite Neikes
Saphentite is Glenn's assistant, childhood friend, and most important companion.
At the academy in monster territory, they were regarded like elder sister and younger brother.
He treasures the accessory made from a golden dragon's scale that she gave him at graduation.
Their bond is long, intimate, and central to his life.
Although many women are drawn to him, Glenn had already resolved that if he were to marry anyone, it would be Saphentite.
Because of an instruction from Cthulhy Squele, they had avoided entering a deeper romantic relationship for a long time.
That changed during the incident in which poison was spread through the canal district.
When Saphentite ran out of the clinic, Glenn finally made up his mind and proposed to her.
They had intended to remain engaged until the victims' treatment expenses were fully repaid.
Even after that, however, his complicated romantic situation did not calm down.
Other Admirers and Fiancées
Glenn is admired by many monster women because of his kindness, honesty, and medical skill.
Unfortunately for him, he is notably dense when it comes to love.
After legal reforms, he began receiving proposals from many women, including Tisalia Scythia and Arahnia Taranterra Arachnida.
In the end, Saphentite, Tisalia, and Arahnia became his official fiancées.
He has given engagement rings to all three of them.
That says a great deal about how unusual his life has become.
Glenn is a rare mix of gentleness, genius, and medical obsession.
He may look fragile, but he repeatedly throws himself into danger and exhaustion for the sake of his patients.
He is one of those characters whose kindness makes trouble for him while also winning hearts everywhere.
A nervous young doctor, a monster specialist, and an accidental magnet for romance, he stands at the center of Monster Girl Doctor for good reason.
