Amoncio Glass is an antagonist and the second boss in RWBY: Arrowfell. He is a member of the Atlas elite who is involved in many shady businesses, including the Arrowfell conflict.
With the destruction of Atlas in “The Final Word”, his current status is unknown.
Appearance[]
Glass is an overweight middle-aged man with light brown slicker hair, mustache, and copper eyes. He wears a black business suit with a white-collar shirt and bright yellow tie. In additional, he carries a matching color handkerchief in his left breast pocket, a pair of black glasses, and overcoat on his shoulders.
Personality[]
Glass is an arrogant Atlesian elitest who has ties to the conspiracy led by Bram Thornmane against General James Ironwood. According to Weiss Schnee, even someone like her father Jacques Schnee wouldn't do business with Glass.
When Team RWBY confront him, he boasts about his reputation and is annoyed when Ruby Rose doesn't really know who he is. After challenging the team to battle, he runs away in fear after seeing them arm themselves before returning with his "Glass Cannon Mk. II", a mechanical suit to fight them.
History[]
At some point Glass became part of the conspiracy against James Ironwood led by Bram Thornmane. Eventually, Glass was able to steal high-tech Atlas Military technology with the help of Olive Harper secretly supplying it to him and armed an entire Atlas mob with it after a weapon furnishing operation that took place in Solitas' southern coast Dust Mine. He was also able to distribute the orbs that attracted the Grimm as well after obtaining the blueprints from Thornmane from Fort Arrowfell.
Harper eventually told Team RWBY of his involvement with the orbs and tell them to confront him in downtown Atlas while warning them about his goons being prepared for them. In reality, Harper was working as Thornmane's mole in the military and helping Glass get his hands on the military technology he provided for his goons.
When they meet Glass in downtown Atlas, he warns them about snooping into his business and about his reputation before Ruby says she really doesn't know who he is which annoys him. After declaring that they would settle it between them, Glass ran away after seeing Team RWBY arm themselves with weapons before returning with the "Glass Cannon MK II", a mechanical suit he used to fight against them.
After they defeated him, Glass told them everything he knew about the conspiracy and the orbs which he told them were bait to attract the Grimm. However, he didn't know much about who else was involved due to the other members using codenames to hide their true identities and everything being done without ever meeting them in person. Once he finishes, he asks them to leave him alone which they do.
Powers and Abilities[]
Despite Glass being fearful of Team RWBY after seeing them arm themselves, he was shown to be a skilled pilot when he used the "Glass Cannon MK II", a mechanical suit to fight against them. The Glass Cannon MK II is extremely durable, can move quickly on tank-like threads and has four arms, each one equipped with a different weapon: A cannon that fires electric orbs forward which change direction and fly downwards when they're above their target, a giant claw that can dislodge large boulders off the ground and toss them as projectiles, a pincer that launches large fire bombs, and a homing missile launcher.
