While he's certainly protective of Firo, he hardly goes berserk over him - on the contrary, he's quite calm about it.


* BerserkButton: Don't insult Firo in front of him. Chances are, there won't be survivors.

One of the youngest passengers to be made immortal on the ''Advena Avis.'' He was taken in by a fellow Immortal, Fermet, who experimented on him, testing the limits of their Immortality until Czeslaw finally snapped and ate him. Despite his cynical, tough exterior, Czes is still struggling to trust anyone and constantly fears that other Immortals are going to kill him.

* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead]]: In the 2002 novel it apparently turns out that [[spoiler:Fermet came back from getting eaten by Czes, got eaten by Szilard, came back from ''that'', and then proceeded to become one of the major antagonists of the novel]]. This strikes some fans as a massive WallBanger.

!!Fermet

One of the original immortals aboard the ''Advena Avis'' who sought immortality. After the incident with Silzard Quates, he lives with his young charge, Czeslaw Meyer, and spends his immortality torturing the boy in the most gruesome ways.

* AbusiveParent: The majority of his characterization.
* CompleteMonster: He may just be worse than Silzard
* ForScience: Subverted. He makes this claim as he uses torture to test the [[HealingFactor limits of immortality]]. After [[spoiler: Czes [[TheDogBitesBack gets back at him]], his GhostMemory reflects that he just did all that crap for his own amusement.]]
* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: Every time he is mentioned by Czes is this.
* OffingTheOffspring: Repeatedly. For upwards of 200 years.
* TortureTechnician: We've only gotten bits and pieces of what was done from Czeslaw. Consider the immortality thing, he might be the best example of this in a show filled with this trope.




* OhCrap: It seems the only way for Nicolas to learn not to manipulate [[spoiler:TheIngenue Eve Genoard]] from getting into dangerous situations anymore was from a serious "persuasion" by [[spoiler:our favorite TortureTechnician, Claire Stanfield.]] Nicolas should be grateful that he didn't lose [[spoiler:[[MutilationInterrogation any limbs]]]] or [[spoiler:[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill even his life]].]]

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Several. Issac and Miria [[spoiler: rescue him and assure him that he is a good boy because the Rail Chaser only eats bad children.]]
** [[spoiler: Czes being reunited with Maiza and finding a home that does not involve endless misery]].
** Children of the Bottle has one. 70 years later, Czes still has issues with trust. [[spoiler: [[TheMessiah Elmer]] takes it on himself to demonstrate ''{{ThePowerOfTrust}}'' by showing Czes that he is not a ''{{CompleteMonster}}''. He also points out how lucky he is over the past 70 years to encounter so many good people.]]



** Children of the Bottle subverts this as Czes [[spoiler: confesses to Elmer that he can't be expected to always act like a child given he's about 300 years old]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Frequently after the Flying Pussyfoot incident.



* MouthyKid: Even when not in [[CrazySurvivalist crazy survivalist]] mode is often this.
* Power of Trust: A part of [[ThrowTheDogABone throw the dog a bone]] involves Czes learning this when [[spoiler: Issac and Miria rescue him during the Flying Pussyfoot Massacre.]]
** The novels (Children of the Bottle specifically) go further with this trope with [[spoiler: Elmer forcing Czes's right hand on his head as a way to show that trust is a virtue]]. This turns into a major [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming CMOH]].




to:

** Some of his actions and his [[MouthyKid mouthy kid]] status make an argument for him leaning a little toward being the {{JerkassWoobie}}

* IdenticalStranger: Fans have noticed that [[{{Durarara}} Kasuka Heiwajima]] (from a different series, but in the same [[TheVerse 'verse]]) looks like a brown-eyed clone of Huey despite the fact that they're not even the same ethnicity, much less related.

One of the original Immortals. He seeks to re-create Immortals on the original elixir that made him immortal.''Advena Avis.'' He fights with Maiza over whether or not to share the secret of Immortality with the world at large, and, after Maiza and the others reject his plans, he murders several of them and escapes with half the formula for the Immortality elixir. Since then, he's experimented to try and recreate the entire elixir. He's also dabbled in creating Homunculi, including his current servant, Ennis.

Another of the ''Daily Days'' informants, usually working at the front desk. Has a tempestuous relationship with Rachel.
