Mayor Klaus is the elected mayor of Estelle's hometown of Rolent.
Unlike the city of Ruan, which has been overseen by the same family of nobles for a long time, Rolent's mayor was picked by popular support and Klaus was elected to his position because of people's trust in him.
Despite his position, Klaus still lives a rather modest life, enjoying fishing trips or tending to his garden. His fondness of gardening is what earned him the nickname "Ol' Man Klaus" around town. He's a collector of antique books and a lover of corn cream stew.
Rolent's mayor was one of Estelle and Joshua's first clients, requesting them to drop by the Malga Mine on his behalf and retrieving a large piece of septium from the mining chief that was to be engraved and presented to the Queen as a birthday gift from the city. This seemingly simple task wasn't completed without significant hurdles. First there was a sudden outbreak of monsters in the mine due to a cave-in connecting a monster nest to the mine. After that was dealt with and the piece of septium was seemingly secure in the mayor's safe, the house got robbed and the thieves made off with the Queen's birthday gift, forcing Klaus to make another request of the bracers.
The culprit turned out to be Josette: a girl who visited the mayor in the disguise of a student, but who was really a sky bandit. Mayor Klaus was quickly charmed by her act and had no idea that his visitor was really casing his place. Fortunately, Estelle, Joshua and Scherazard managed to track down the thieves before they could make their escape and the piece of septium was recovered.
Several months later, Estelle and Joshua ran into Mayor Klaus again during the martial arts competition in Grancel. Being a member of the Royal Assembly, Klaus was somewhat forcibly invited to attend a dinner at the castle where Duke Dunan announced that he'd be succeeding Queen Alicia as ruler of Liberl. Like all mayors, Klaus was quite shocked at the news and was quite relieved when the coup that Dunan's announcement was part of was thwarted.
