Cardin Winchester

A stereotypical bully who hates faunus. Cardin Winchester is a student of Beacon Academy and the leader of Team CRDL.

Cardin has burnt-orange hair that is combed backward with a slight peak at the front and indigo eyes. He wears silver-gray armor with gold trim.

His chestplate sports a bird with its wings outstretched. Underneath the armor, he wears a black shirt with red trimmings and black pants with a red sash tied around his waist. He also wears silver-gray armoured under the knee boots that match the rest of his armor.

Cardin's personality can be compared to the classic stereotype of the "school bully", with some minor exceptions. He and his team enjoy hurting and picking on others. This is shown when he makes fun of Velvet Scarlatina for being a Faunus, which could also reflect some prejudice and hate towards the humanoid species.

Cardin further showed his racism and discrimination towards the Faunus by saying it is easier to train an animal than a soldier, which reflects on how he sees the Faunus as nothing but complete animals.

Cardin is manipulative and exploitative, willing to blackmail someone.

He is also shown to hold a grudge and may have a tendency to exact revenge on others by whatever means necessary, not caring about the consequences for the target.

Cardin is also seen to be somewhat of a coward, almost just like the rest of his team.

Cardin's weapon of choice is The Executioner. The Executioner is a large, black mace, with ten flat titanium flanges being extended farther outward than a regular mace would and a red Dust crystal placed at the center, kept in place by four claws. It also has a button above the hilt, suggesting this activates the Dust function. Cardin is capable of wielding it one-handed, suggesting high strength on Cardin's part.
