She is briefly mentioned in the?Kazimierz Major?trilogy (Maria Nearl,?Near Light) before appearing as one of the deuteragonists of?Break the Ice. Background Degenbrecher the?Leithanian?Caprinae?suffered through an unknown but relentlessly painful youth, plagued by an unusual inability to use?Originium Arts?but boasting unparalleled physical ability. Eventually finding her way to?Kazimierz, she participated in the?Kazimierz Major?and miraculously became the champion of three consecutive Major seasons despite her inability to use Arts, earning the famous title of the "Black Knight."[1]?However, this also meant Degenbrecher was quickly regarded as an undesirable by the Major's stakeholders who saw her as a threat to Major's?status quo;?they deigned her unending victories would harm their interests. Just before they were about to "remove her from the picture,"?Enciodes Silverash, who was coincidentally in?Kazimierz?at the time, decided to hire Degenbrecher as his bodyguard. With a reasonable price, the Kazimierzian capitalists decided to let the Black Knight go, finally letting her escape from the shady, greed-filled tournament knight business.[2] Degenbrecher is a master at nearly all martial weapons, with her signature ones being her greatsword and dual-wielded?swordbreakers, although she has also been seen using a longsword. Even though Degenbrecher lacks any Arts abilities, she is tremendously skilled in melee combat and unanimously considered a born warrior; despite having little to offer outside of raw strength and speed, those alone are so overwhelmingly powerful that they allow Degenbrecher to soundly defeat any obstacle or opponents
