02Appearance
The secretary is an adult man of average height with defined cheekbones, a prominent nose and narrow eyes. He sports a mustache reaching down to the sides of his jaw. He has short hair which is slicked to the side.↗↗
Befitting his professionalism, his outfit consists of an ascot tie, shirt, vest and a patterned suit with a long jacket. While looking into the deaths of racers during the 1st Stage, he wears a patterned hat.↗↗
03Personality
The secretary shows himself to be professional from the surface, though somewhat underhanded in his methods. As the manager of the Steel Ball Run, he listens to complaints filed before reciting them to Steven Steel. He serves as Steven's voice of reason in the beginning of the race, informing him of budget problems, and accidents. Despite this, he easily backs down and listens to Steven's orders. Acting from the shadows, he advises Steel to confront Gyro Zeppeli directly over his nationality after discovering Gyro's ties to European nobility.↗↗↗↗
After the Steel Ball Run Press Conference, the secretary also attempts to gesture away interviewers with inappropriate questions unrelated to the race.↗↗
04Story
SPOILERS
Steel Ball Run
Steven Steel 's secretary is first seen listing several complains about the San Diego Beach camp prepared for the Steel Ball Run to Steven Steel. Annoyed at the secretary's incompetence, Steven adds another $1,000,000 to the race budget, going over budget. He then informs him of the incoming press conference before leaving. He is later seen at the press conference beside Steven, and lists the sponsors of the race while being interviewed.↗↗
During the 1st Stage of the race, he joins Steven in observing the race from a train car. When asked by Steven about Gyro Zeppeli, the secretary notes him missing a record. He is later shown to have gathered insider knowledge about Gyro, such as the ship he arrived to the United States in. Realizing he's a foreigner, Steven asks his secretary to gather more information about Gyro after the conclusion of the 1st Stage.↗↗
He later joins Steven and Lucy Steel while looking into the deaths of Mark Becker, David Hagen and Paul Lukather, though he stays in the carriage with Lucy.↗↗
During the 2nd Stage, he discusses the numerous accidents caused by the supposed Devil's Palm to Steven. Asked if Gyro was the first to cross, the secretary is then bombarded with questions hinting towards a second nature of the race. Confused, the secretary asks Steven about the race's intent, which Steven doubles down on.↗↗
