12 years old. A monk-in-training for the Cistercian Order. On the surface, he seems to be rather airheaded. He also possesses an angelic, beautiful singing voice and skills in priestly duties. He's accepted in to the Children's Crusade to watch over them, despite being more than a bit ditsy. He's actually a spy sent to watch over the Crusade and report back to the church. His true personality is arrogant and self-righteous, disdainful of anyone who doesn't accept his way of viewing the world. After witnessing Christian's guilty confessions, Michael killed him by impaling him with a stake through the heart. In the same fashion, he killed Étienne by stabbing him in the stomach with a stake, in an effort to stop the initiation of a divine miracle. In the end, Michael, along with the rest of the Children's Crusade, was sent off by his father to a ship sailing to Alexandria — where he will be sold as a slave, and never to return again.
