* OverratedAndUnderleveled: He is the captain of the Knights of Pluto, has implied to have had war experience, and can rough up the heroes. Yet by the time he joins, he is at level one and [[CantCatchUp due to being removed from the party for awhile, lags behind everyone but Freya]]. It's somewhat justified in that the Knights of Pluto are seen as incompetent boobs. It's suggested in side material that Steiner in his youth was one of the strongest knights of the kingdom and Beatrix's equal but a combination of becoming a stickler for the rules as he got older and having to deal with the incompetence of his division has seriously dulled his skills and kept him from progressing as Beatrix did until he starts getting over his negative personality traits later in the game.

[[folder:The Knights Of Pluto]]

The only unit of male soldiers in Alexandria's military, which is otherwise an all-female AmazonBrigade. Besides Captain Steiner, they include the double super-sleuths Blutzen and Kohel, the writer Laudo, the artilleryman Dojebon, the knowledgeable Breirecht, the ladies' man Weimar, Haagen who knows Alexandria's streets backward and forward, and Mullenkedheim, the winner of last year's cannonball race.

* AmateurSleuth: Blutzen and Kohel are experts at detective work and gathering information. Their best role during the attack on Alexandria is to gather information.
* BigEater: Mullenkedheim can be found in the castle's feast hall complaining about how hungry he is. Later, when the Knights are helping to rebuild the castle after it's wrecked, he says he wants to start by rebuilding the kitchen.
* TheCasanova: Weimar knows all the girls in town, and his knowledge makes him one of the ideal knights to protect the townspeople during the attack on Alexandria.
* CatchPhrase: Haagen repeatedly talks about his "fury" early in the game.
* GenderIncompetence: Most Alexandrians see the Knights as a bunch of incompetent boobs, and they don't help their case. When Steiner calls the Knights to attention at the start of the game, only two of them show up in their underwear. The rest of the Knights are all wandering the castle doing their own thing, and Steiner has to go find them.
* HiddenDepths: As inept as the Knights generally are, they all have their own areas where they shine.
* InterserviceRivalry: With Beatrix's personal squad, and the Knights seem to be on the losing end.
* LetsGetDangerous: The Knights generally seem to be a ceremonial guard, but when Alexandria is attacked in Disk 3 they can show a shocking level of competence, especially if Dagger gives them the right orders. One of the citizens you can talk to later says that the Knights did an excellent job evacuating the citizens and that there weren't nearly as many casualties as there could've been.
* MuggedForDisguise: Blutzen and Kohel get beaten up and have their armor stolen as disguises by Zidane and Blank at the start of the game.
* TheNavigator: Haagen knows every inch of Alexandria's streets. It makes him ideal for helping to protect the townspeople during the attack on Alexandria.
* WithThisHerring: Several characters comment about Steiner's rusty armor, and it's implied the other knights aren't much better. When Blank puts on his stolen armor, he complains that it's too big and makes his back itch, his helmet stinks, his boots are wet, his gloves are slimy and his pockets are full of cookie crumbs, implying that the Knights' equipment is...subpar compared to their female equivalents.

After the...[[AccidentalPervert incident]] involving Garnet and Zidane getting onto the Cargo Ship, it's made out to be an accident on his part and he awkwardly tries to apologize. He is also offended when Steiner accuses Zidane of "touching" Garnet when everyone fell unconscious in the Ice Cavern due to the work of Black Waltz 1.
