Wilhelm as Claudia's 'Thorn'

The Thorn (荊 (ソーン) , Sōn) is a term from Jun Mochizuki's Crimson-Shell. It is an individual who bonds themselves to a Rose through a Blood Covenant (血 (ち) の契 (けい) 約 (やく) , Chi no Keiyaku) and as such it becomes their duty to protect and care for the Rose. By forging a Blood Covenant with the Rose, their lives are linked. The Thorn becomes capable of sensing changes in their respective Rose's body and receives their grace. This includes special abilities that surpasses that of a human as well as an unaging body as long as their Rose lives. However, should their contracted partner befall death, then they will also die.

Trivia

• The concept of the Thorn and the Blood Covenant mirrors the aspects of the relationship and ritual between a Contractor and their Chain from the Pandora Hearts universe.
• Wilhelm is the only identified Thorn within the Crimson-Shell universe, having made his contract with Claudia — The Crimson Rose.
  • However, it is possible that Gerhardt Bathler forged a Blood Covenant with Victoria prior to the infiltration of the Black Roses into the Red Rose's Crimson-Shell Division.
