Steed (スティード Sutīdo) is Thoma Avenir's camera-type Intelligent Device, optimized for distinct camera-like functions, such as photo-taking and observation. Thoma refers to Steed as "buddy".
Etymology
Steed may have been named after Honda Steed motorcycle line.
Appearances
Steed appears primarily in Force.
Apparently, Steed possesses a very advanced artificial intelligence, as it is capable of coherent, grammatically correct Japanese conversations on par with most Unison Devices. However, it is incapable of receiving telepathic messages, as Lily has to discover in chapter 5. It also states that it is not good with handling heat (primarily referring to deflection of fire-based spells) in chapter 1.
Forms
Steed's active (primary) form is that of a small camera worn by Touma on a cord around his neck. Steed can, however, detach itself and float around Touma, using two halves of the cord to gesticulate as if they were hands.
