Archive File 1

Since he was young, Matterhorn was trained to be SilverAsh's bodyguard. His father and grandfather were honorable guards for SilverAsh's family. Naturally, this became his goal, as well. However, unlike military training during his father's time, he still had the opportunity to study other subjects. Almost subconsciously, he chose cooking.

Archive File 2

Compared to foreign nations that are rich in resources, Kjerag has very few edible varieties of plants and animals. Even a wealthy family like SilverAsh's usually only eats plain meals. However, once Matterhorn became a cook, everything changed. His mastery of the art of cooking is awe-inspiring. With just a handful of Kjerag ingredients, he can craft culinary delicacies untasted by native Kjerags. It's no wonder that the politicians of Kjerag used to hold meetings at the government's reception hall, but now they only want to meet at SilverAsh's home. The power of food is truly something to behold.

After coming to Rhodes Island, Matterhorn's combat frequency and intensity have increased substantially. His equipment, especially his shield, are in constant need of repair. Matterhorn knows some ways to perform simple repairs in the heat of battle, but thorough maintenance requires the skills of an artisan. Upon being given a recommendation, Matterhorn met Vulcan. Surprised by each other's abilities, they quickly established a long-term relationship: Vulcan maintains Matterhorn's equipment while Matterhorn provides renumeration. When they have free time, they exchange culinary recipes and occasionally share meals together. They are a good example of what close friends should be.

Archive File 4

Matterhorn's ancestors were born in the norther region of Kjerag where the environment is harsh and people fight against nature day after day. To ensure the survival of the others, when northern Kjerags go out to fight, they are considered dead. This conviction has resulted in future generations of brave warriors like Matterhorn.

    Module record

    In the Snow Realm's coldest season, your mother fell from her burdenbeast in labor pains, where the thick snow cover protected you both. Her groans, each higher than the last, drew the livestock close one after another, forming a circle with her inside. Those livestock were warm of fur, so thick yet fine, keeping the blizzard away, and the hot breath from their mouths and noses became a wall, providing enough warmth for your mother's labor.

    You were born, your face so filthy, and you bawled in tears. I put out my hand and caressed your eyelids, shut so firm, my rough skin brushing the corners of your eyes red. I was born with a pair of wide, rugged hands, in which your grandfather took pride, saying I would be a man who could feed his family, but that day they caused you to cry without end.

    Then your mother swatted away my hand in annoyance, and I laughed, about to pull my finger away, when your arm found its way out from your swaddle and gripped my finger tight. You see? You were only but the size of my hand, yet you made me panic like nothing else, and I stood there dumb in the snow, not moving a step.

    The blizzard that had been screaming outside forced its way into this delivery circle the livestock formed, the red retreating from your skin, naked to the wind, and an ominous purple spreading over. Your mother opened the fore of my robe and pressed you against my bosom. Carefully and cautiously I wrapped it again, as if caring for my own second heart. And your face frozen frigid by the cold was warmed by my body, and finally you ceased to cry, and simply sucked your fingers and took small, weak breaths. Then your mother climbed onto my back, and called for the livestock to return home with a whistle. Their tumbling hides bounded across the gentle, narrow slope down the mountain, and I was like their leader, with her riding tenderly on my back, and you so frail against my chest, though my legs shivered as they sank into the ankle-deep snow. Like I was bearing the weight of all the land.

    That robe later opened a hole right at its chest, which must have been from some Holy Hunt or other. Last year your mother unearthed it from our wardrobe's depths, where I had all but forgotten it. Your mother chose to repair it so finely it in the end, and asked if I would still wear it. I shook my head no, saying we would best send it to you. I'm well into my age now, and stoop more with each passing day, but you are in the prime of your youth, standing tall as the mountains, never to fear the north wind nor the icy snow. All else aside, I want you to have it. I imagine you'll look just the same as I did when you wear it, no? So wear it, and come drop by. My chest may be shriveled and dry now, and my robe run through with holes, but it's still far enough to keep a heart safe., Letter from Father

Appointed as Assistant
I've moved your belongings where you wanted. No worries, it wasn't heavy.
Talk 1
The shield is a symbol of a steadfast guardian.
Talk 2
I've been responsible for protecting Young Master SilverAsh... I mean, Master SilverAsh... ever since he was young.
Talk 3
It's not exactly polite to talk about Miss Enya behind her back, but... *sigh* I do pity Miss Enya for what she has suffered. She really deserves a better life.
Talk after Promotion 1
If my shield gets damaged, I should take it to the artisan called Vulcan for repairs. Is that correct?
Talk after Promotion 2
This is far beyond my expectation. That artisan is truly skilled. I need to thank her properly.
Talk after Trust Increase 1
Life at Rhodes Island is fun. The Snow Realm is rather bland in comparison.
Talk after Trust Increase 2
Master did send me to protect Ensia. But I honestly don't think she's the type who would sit there and ask to be protected.
Talk after Trust Increase 3
I am slowly starting to understand why Master SilverAsh holds you in such high regard. Doctor, from this day, feel free to command me as your shield.
Idle
Sometimes, I suddenly start missing my life in the Snow Realm.
Onboard
Ally, I salute you in true Snow Realm fashion. My codename is Matterhorn, and I am one of the guards dispatched here by Master SilverAsh.
Watching Battle Record
You have my gratitude.
Promotion 1
Thank you for the approval, Doctor. I am greatly flattered.
Promotion 2
I will not step back, not even if this shield shatters the very next second. Not because of my loyalty, but because of my conviction.
Added to Squad
At your service.
Appointed as Squad Leader
I am honored.
Depart
I shall protect the team.
Begin Operation
All is ready.
Selecting Operator 1
I shall be your vanguard.
Selecting Operator 2
My shield is ready.
Deployment 1
Hm!
Deployment 2
Hoo-yah!
In Battle 1
Retribution!
In Battle 2
I'm not here just for show!
In Battle 3
With my conviction, I shall bring any monster to its knees!
In Battle 4
You don't have what it takes!
4-star Result
I wasn't even giving my all!
3-star Result
Their strikes can barely tickle me.
Sub 3-star Result
I'll pull off a perfect victory next time for you, I promise.
Operation Failure
I should not have taken the enemies lightly. Now I pay the price.
Assigned to Facility
Very nice room, this one. Furnished tastefully, with a peaceful atmosphere.
Tap
Mhmm.
Trust Tap
This is my signature dish. How do you like it?
Title
Arknights.
New Year's blessing
It's only natural for a guardian to keep his eyes peeled on New Year's day. Troubles do not shy away from celebration days. Rather, they are more likely to jump on people when they let their guard down. Rhodes Island is a comparatively safe place, but you must not lower your defense, Doctor. Happy new year.
Greeting
Good day, Doctor.
Birthday
It's your birthday, Doctor, isn't it? No need to worry, for I dare not forget the date. It's just the gift I prepared... I'm really not sure if you are going to appreciate it... So please, Doctor, do me a favor and open it after I leave. Thank you.
Anniversary Celebration
I'm actually not familiar with what lies outside the Snow Realm, since most of my job was to simply perform the duties my master has entrusted to me. I need to broaden my horizon. Even though I'm no more than a guardian, I need to learn more and see more.
