Renner is the Third Princess of the Kingdom, known as a benevolent reformer who has brought some great and positive changes to the Kingdom. However, behind closed doors, she is revealed to have a psychopathic personality who does not really care for the feelings of others, except those of her trusted bodyguard, Climb.
Climb, for his part, was a street urchin who was about to die from a sickness before Renner came and took him off the streets. He thus views his services to her as a way of fulfilling this debt, while also remaining unaware of his Princess' true nature.
Brain, on the other hand, is a warrior turned mercenary, who lost his will to fight, only to regain it again after witnessing Climb's feat of withstanding an intense killing intent from Sebas Tian, leader of the Pleiades Combat Maids.
