Biography
Chase was one of the templar knights that accompanied Aiko Hatayama while she traveled around many of the Heiligh Kingdom's villages in order to improve their food production due to her vocation as Farmer. At first, he and the other knights made repeated attempts to impress Aiko in order to make her more loyal to the kingdom and the Holy Church. Over time, however, they were won over by her kindness and had become absolutely devoted to her.

After they arrived at the lakeside town of Ur, one of Aiko's students the also accompanied her, Yukitoshi Shimizu, disappeared without a trace. After several days unsuccessfully locating him, Aiko grew increasingly worried, but the rest of her students and the templar knights attempted to cheer her up. While Aiko and the others were eating dinner one night at Ur's Water Sprite Inn, the innkeeper told them that they would no longer be able to serve them their signature dishes due to an increase in monster activity in the mountains where the people normally gathered the spices for their food, but assured them that they situation would be taken care soon by claiming that adventurers would explore the mountains at the personal request of Adventurer's Guild Fuhren Branch Chief Ilwa Chang. This caused Chase and other knights to become shocked at this news due to how popular Ilwa was. It was soon discovered that the adventurer was Hajime Nagumo, who everyone believed to have been killed in the Great Orcus Labyrinth. Aiko immediately to Hajime after hearing him name during a conversation he was having with his companions Yue and Shea. Chase and the other knights were shocked at Aiko's sudden change in behaviour, but soon realized that Hajime wsa one of Aiko students that was summoned along with her to Tortus. After convincing Hajime to join her and the others for dinner, she attempted to get him to explain what he experienced after he was believed to be dead due his drastic change change in appearance, but he refused to go into details of his ordeals and instead focused on eating his dinner. His disrespectful attitude angered Templar Knight Commander David Zahler and demanded that Hajime show more respect, to which Hajime ignored him. Chase then attempted to calm David down after he turned his attention towards Shea due to his prejudice towards beastmen. David was then insulted by Yue and was prepared to attack her with his sword, but was suddenly knocked unconscious by Hajime after he shot him in the forehead with a rubber bullet from one of his handguns. After having some of the knights tend to David, Chase apologized to Hajime for his commander's behavior. He then turned his focus to Hajime's weapon and asked him to explain how it worked. Before Hajime could reply, however, his classmate Atsushi Tamai revealed that it was a weapon that originated from Earth, and that Hajime must have been the one who made it. Chase then attempted to convince Hajime to create more guns for the kingdom, or at least teach them how to make it themselves, but Hajime immediately refused his pleas and threatened to kill anyone that would attempt to take his weapons. Hajime and his companions then left everyone to return to their hotel room.

Chase and the other knights remained at Ur the next morning while Aiko and her student escorts followed Hajime on his journey to the mountains by sneaking away while they were asleep. After discovering that a huge monster army was about to attack the town, Hajime and the others drove back to Ur on his vehicle Brise, and crossed paths with Chase and the other knight while they were riding their horses to the mountains in order to find Aiko. They were about ti attack Hajime's vehicle, but stopped after Aiko popped out of thE window in order to show that they were in no danger. Having no time to explain the situation to the knights, Hajime drove right passed them, narrowly avoiding running them over, and continued on to Ur (also because Hajime hated the knights and wanted to scare them with his driving).

After Hajime returned to Ur, he was prepared to leave since did not care about the fate of the people of the world, but soon decided to fight the monster army after Aiko convinced him to. After Hajime and his companions easily decimated the monsters, Hajime brought the person responsible for the attack to Aiko at her request, which turned out to be her missing student Yukitoshi Shimizu. Yukitoshi managed to grab Aiko and threatened to kill her if Hajime did not surrender his weapons to him. Aiko was soon saved however, after Shea pushed her away from Yukitoshi after he was suddenly hit with a magic spell from a demon. Though Aiko was spared from the attack, she was hit with poison from the needle that Yukitoshi held by her neck while holding her hostage. She was soon saved, however, by Hajime after her healed her by having her drink ambrosia while passing it through from his mouth to hers. Hajime then proceed to kill Yukitoshi after he was mortally wounded from the demon's attack, much to Aiko's shock. Hajime and his companions left afterwords.

When Aiko and the others returned to the kingdom's capital, she disappeared soon after. The students attempted to locate her by asking her templar knight bodyguards for her whereabouts, but they had disappeared as well. It was eventually discovered that Aiko was kidnapped by an apostle of God and was being held prisoner in the Holy Church's dungeon. After she was freed by Hajime and aided in the destruction of the Holy Church's main temple, it was revealed that Chase and the other knights were imprisoned in the kingdom after they made repeated attempts through the pope to see her. After learning that Aiko was partially responsible for destroying the church and killing the pope and many of his subjects, Chase and the other knights needed some time to sort out their feelings, but they eventually decided to not hate Aiko and continued to be loyal to her due everything she taught them during their journey together.
