A-drei is a 17-year-old special agent and prince from the Dorssian Military Pact Federation in the anime "Valvrave the Liberator." He stands out because of his silver bobbed hair, left eye covered with bangs, and a unique braided hairstyle. Although he is royalty, he values his position as a soldier and hides his royal roots. He has a rivalry and deep bond with L-ELF, and their complicated relationship is central to his story. Throughout the series, A-drei loses his left eye, tries hard to reconnect with L-ELF, and ends up fighting for Dorssia's future. He is serious, proud, and unusually kind for a Dorssian soldier.

Karlstein Institute and Meeting L-ELF
A-drei grew up as Dorssia's prince but was sent to the harsh Karlstein Institute after losing his parents in a coup.
There, he met and bonded with L-ELF, and they agreed to someday start a revolution together.
One of the toughest moments in his past was having to end a friend's suffering at their request, marking him deeply.
Infiltrating Module 77
A-drei and his agent team, led by L-ELF, go undercover in JIOR's Sakimori Academy.
There they try to seize a Valvrave, but A-drei is shot in the left eye by L-ELF, who was possessed by Haruto Tokishima.
A-drei is seriously injured and must recover, agonizing over why he was "betrayed."
Even after getting a prosthetic eye, he confronts L-ELF, hoping to bring him back instead of seeking revenge.

Acting as a Dorssian Agent
Under Cain Dressel's orders, A-drei sneaks into Module 77 to gather information and judge L-ELF's true intentions.
He becomes tormented by guilt and confusion, as he still cares for L-ELF but is unable to trust him.
After failing to capture L-ELF, A-drei is ejected into space but is given another chance to prove himself by Cain.
When L-ELF leaves Dorssia, A-drei feels only regret and, if executed, wishes for L-ELF to be the one to stop him.
Discovering the Truth
Back on Earth, A-drei finds himself working with Saki Rukino (disguised in Karlstein gear), and witnesses her return to her original form.
He learns the truth about L-ELF being possessed and losing control when he shot A-drei.
He feels guilty for doubting his old friend and helps Saki escape as a way to make up for it.
He finds out from X-eins that H-neun was actually killed by Cain, and that Dorssia is controlled by a secret group.
Working Towards Revolution
Eventually, A-drei, L-ELF, and X-eins start working together, using their position as royalists and agents to challenge the corrupt Dorssian rulers and 101 Council.
Tragically, Q-vier attacks the group, and A-drei ends up accidentally shooting and killing him.
He is left, along with L-ELF and Kriemhild, as the Dorssian survivors after the final battle.
After the War
After the module is taken back, A-drei works for reform as a royalist on Earth, trying to change his country for the better.
At Satomi Renbokouji's wedding, he surprisingly catches Takahi Ninomiya's bouquet, making the girls mad and leaving him looking embarrassed.
