Vantine (ヴァンタイン, Vantain) is the private military commander for Prince Tserriednich.[1][2]
Appearance[]
Vantine is an older man with slicked-back hair that goes past his ears. He also has a mustache and soul patch. He wears the usual black suit and tie of a bodyguard.
Personality[]
Vantine is very formal and professional. He reports to Tserriednich often and informs him of important matters.[1][3][4] The Prince trusts Vantine so much that he was personally sent to invite Melody to Tserriednich's quarters.[2]
Plot[]
Succession Contest arc[]
Vantine informs Tserridnich about the private soldier sent to his quarters
After Kurapika's emergency announcement, and Benjamin sends his private soldiers to spy on each Prince, Vantine asks Tserriednich what he would like them to do, reminding him that since he is the son of the First Queen, he is not obligated to comply. Tserriednich replies that Vantine should tell Benjamin, "You idiot," adding that he is focusing on his Nen.[1]
During Tserriednich's Nen training with Theta, Vantine is seen with at least three other bodyguards outside the room. After the gunshot and Theta faints, Vantine tells Tserriednich about missing time and that after they rushed in once they heard the sound, they saw a beautiful landscape in front of them. He adds that they were unable to move and guesses that it was due to the music broadcast. Tserriednich asks if it was supposed to be Salé-salé's rap, and Vantine confirms it, telling him that the performance was by a Hunter named Melody. Tserriednich tells him to call her over and make it sound like an invitation. Vantine worries that they might refuse if it's not a summons, but Tserriednich stresses that it's a feeler, explaining that they can make inferences based on their response.[3][4]
At the Justice Bureau on Tier 2, Vantine introduces himself to Melody as the private military commander for Prince Tserriednich. He uses the word "negotiations", which puts Melody on her guard. He then explains that the Prince would like to invite her to his quarters, asking if she would accept. Melody politely replies that she cannot make a decision on her own, and Vantine wonders if the reason is because she was hired to guard Prince Kacho. Melody quickly says that she cannot comment on her contract, and Vantine rephrases his question, asking if she is unwilling to perform again. Melody replies that she would be happy to play anywhere given the right circumstances, and Vantine tells her that the Prince will be pleased. Melody then tries to put emphasis on "negotiations", but Vantine is left confused, saying that they can work out the details after she is released. Melody senses confusion and doubt in his heartbeat, reaching the conclusion that the Fourth Prince isn't behind what's happening to Fugetsu.[2]
