Vlad is a dwarf and the representative of the Vlad Guild, a blacksmith shop that produces shields. He uses a magic‑powered press machine to shape iron. He is skeptical of Eguchi’s inspection, believing his workshop is safe despite missing safety devices. He prioritizes efficiency over safety, claiming that minor burns and the risk of losing a finger are acceptable. He resists Eguchi’s suggestion to install guards, arguing that it would lower work efficiency. He is pressured by Alexis to cooperate with Eguchi but remains stubborn.
