Update – Info from Hecatom;

“Relius Clover will be added to the Arcade version of CS2 via an update this Winter, and it mentions possible plans for a DLC update for the console versions as well. His gameplay will be similar to Carl’s, as he will fight by controlling his battle puppet, Ignis. A loketest is scheduled for August 11 at Akihabara Hey! Relius Clover

Height: 186 cm

Weight: 75 kg

Birthday: June 1

Blood Type: A

Birthplace: 2nd Hierarchical City Iwatsuchi (Austria)

Hobbies: Research

Likes: Opera

Dislikes: Unorganized bookshelves

CV: Junichi Suwabe Backstory:

Showing interest in nothing but research, Relius is a man utterly devoid of affection, even towards his own son, Carl. He has a methodical disposition and hates bookshelves that are in disarray. He arrived in the 13th Hierarchical City Kagutsuchi under orders from a high-ranking member of the massive world government, the Novus Orbis Librarium, to observe the activities of Hazama, a member the very same organization’s Intelligence Department.”

A new character is coming to BlazBlue Continuum Shift 2+ for the Playstation Vita portable. Relius Clover, the father of Carl Clover, joins the cast to lay the beatdown on his own son. It appears that both characters use dolls, but I’m sure their fighting styles will be very different. There is no word yet on the possibility of Relius coming to the PS3 or 360 versions of the game.
