Personality
Schmitt is a strong and calm person but when it comes to Griselda's murder, he was terrified of death and feared he would be next after witnessing his former guildmate Yolko "die" at the hands of her ghost.

A Murder Case in the Area
During the events of A Murder Case in the Area, he was afraid of Griselda's ghost, because he thought that she was going to kill him. After witnessing Yolko's death, he decided to visit Griselda's grave, where he confesses that he had been given an order to set a crystal for Griselda's room and leave the crystal inside the guild inventory. This crystal helped in the murder of Griselda, while Schmitt was given a large amount of money, which he used to buy the necessary level of equipment to join the Divine Dragon Alliance to feel safe, because of his fear of death.

Schmitt is seen participating in the Boss Fight of the 75th Floor against The Skull Reaper and was logged out of the game after Kirito killed Heathcliff, prematurely clearing the game.
