“Heiyue is the face of the Republic’s underworld. We value order.”
A high-ranking member of Heiyue, the Republic’s largest underground syndicate, and a master of the Moonflower martial arts style who holds the title, “White Orchid Dragon.” He is highly intelligent and always prioritizing personal gains, but also values human connection.
He has strong connections to the Lu family and is a leader amongst the Eastern society. He is also the CEO of Heiyue Trading, which puts him in the unique position of being able to profit off of Crossbell and Erebonia.
He sees the mafia organization Armata as a threat, as it does not abide by the rules of the underworld, and starts to take matters into his own hands…
Kurogane
Age: 38
Height: 191cm
“If you’re strong, then good. If you’re not, then allow me to ‘cull’ you here.”
A hulking, masked man and servant to Shizuna, the second in command of the Ikaruga samurai group. He addresses Shizuna as “your highness.”
He is what Easterners call a “Shinobi,” and has the aura of a truly strong warrior that has survived countless battlefields.
While Ikaruga has many skilled masters of katanas and stealth, Kurogane’s superhuman body, martial arts, and polished Hazy Moon-style hidden weapon techniques make him as strong as the Enforcers of Ouroboros.
Grimcats the Phantom Thief
Age: ??
“No questions—I shall bring punishment to you!”
A mysterious thief that has been the topic of rumors in Calvard for the past few years. Nothing is known about her, except that she is a woman with a slender figure and excellent combat skills.
She has become popular among the people since she takes from corrupt politicians and state officials, as well as corporations and mafias that profit from illegal operations. Some gossip magazines have even written special articles about her.
There are other rumored figures—like “Phantom Thief B” who appears all over the continent, and “Silver” the urban legend assassin of the Eastern Quarter—but there have been no notable sighting in recent years. Instead, plausible rumors about Grimcats have been the hottest topic.
