Character
"If they don't do what I proposed, they won't be able to survive. Since they're all weaklings."

- Harold Stokes Kazuki Hirasawa, an ordinary college student, noticed that he possessed Harold Stokes, the villain character of the TV game/JRPG game software "Brave Hearts" that he had worked on, One day, Kazuki Hirasawa, a college student, suddenly possesses a villainous, ill-mannered character who is disliked by Ogishi. He is the eldest son of the "Stokes family", a nobleman with a strong sense of selection, and is a boy about 10 years old with black hair and red eyes. He wears a white pin-tuck blouse with a cross tie, a brown jacket, and shorts.

Even if Kazuki tries to use polite words, he is automatically converted into an arrogant tone. He is generally high spec, has a high fighting ability, and can use magic.. In front of him is Hayden, the owner of the Stokes family, and Clara Amerer, a servant who kneels and begs for life. This was one of the in-game recollection events. This is an event in which Clara, the mother of Colette, the main heroine, is executed with a little carelessness.

Kazuki's body, which became Harold, moves freely and stops her father according to the game scenario. She offers to use Clara on a magical practice table that he has just learned. Hayden agreed, and Clara was thrown into the dungeon. Returning to her room, Kazuki calmly analyzed the situation. Harold is one of the Brave Hearts most hated, villainous, irreverent, and destined to die a few years later. He was depressed as to why he had become Harold, and the butler Norman came to her room in search of Clara's commutation. Of course, Kazuki has no intention of killing Clara. However, when she saves Clara's life, her daughter Colette loses the chance to meet her main character, Reiner.

If the main character's party is weakened, the world will be ruined by the last boss. However, if nothing is done as it is, Harold will die. Kazuki decided not to reduce Harold's liking, but to keep the rough scenario unchanged and lead to a decent ending. For that purpose, it is necessary to break down your own death flag while following the flow of the original. Kazuki plans to escape her and Colette to Broche village, pretending to have killed her Clara. It was the village where Reiner lived, and there was a high probability that Colette and Reiner would meet.

Personality
In Brave Hearts, Harold is a ruthless and selfish person, with no regards for human lives, especially commoners, much like his parents. He is described to be heinous and arrogant, and a sore loser, as he repeatedly challenges the hero party despite getting defeated by them all three times. He is famously known for his foul mouth and his not very subtle superiority complex. Seeing most people as trash below himself.

However ever since Kazuki took over his body. His personality obviously changes due to him. Every foul thing, that the original Harold, would have done, instead turned into acts of kindness and compassion in accordance to Kazuki's good will. Though Harold's foul mouth was still present, much to his chagrin.

Despite his claims that everything he does was in order to avoid the appalling "Death Flag", he willingly helped others knowing that the ultimate future he knows of the game would be altered, further increasing the number of uncertainties he had to face. First, he saved Clara Ameller, the maid the real Harold ended up killing on a whim. This event ends up altering the future of not only her but most importantly her daughter Collette, a future member of the Hero's Party. However, he still had to relay the fact that he killed her and her daughter even though he didn't so as to not arouse suspicion from his family. Due to this, he has been thought of with disdain and hatred by many. Even so, he didn't care about what others thought of him as long as he was able to save someone.

His selfless nature was further emphasized when he saved the Sumeragi by providing them with an antidote to the disease caused by the miasma affecting their territory. In addition to that, he also gave them the LP (Life Potion) Farming Method which drastically turned their fortunes around due to its revolutionary innovation. This saved countless lives in their territory and made them greatly indebted to him. But for all of this to take effect he would need Tasuku, the head of the Sumeragi, to annul his engagement to Erica. The engagement was nothing but a political one since the Sumeragi family required support due to the problems they were facing, but now that their problems were almost nil, Harold requested the annulment of the engagement. Moreover, he made Erica hate him as much as possible by admitting to being guilty of the killing of his servant, although she later finds out that it was all a pretense. He didn't want her to be another flag that would bring his demise but his ulterior motive can be inferred to prevent her from marrying someone she isn't in love with and also most importantly for her to join up with the Heroes Party without any deviations from the game.

Abilities
As one of the bosses who repeatedly faced the hero party, Harold is immense power, and in terms of pure stats is even better than the playable character - i.e. the heroes, etc. He is only matched by strong boss characters on the level of Vincent - which means except for the final boss, there is no one stronger than him.

In the novels, he has shown to far surpass his game counterpart - though the special state he had gone through is still a little debatable (he has likely surpassed that as well).

Currently, in the novel, he is the strongest character, though the final boss is still far stronger than him.
