Arthur Rimbaud

Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine in Bungo Stray Dogs (BSD) are French spies

Arthur Rimbaud: Appearance: He is tall and pale with long, mid-back length black hair and tired, vacant gold eyes. He is almost always seen wearing heavy winter gear regardless of the weather—including white earmuffs, a thick dark red scarf, a grey trench coat, and gloves—due to his constant feeling of being "cold".Character: Rimbaud is portrayed as a gloomy, introspective individual. While a veteran mafioso who understands the criminal world, he actually respects human life and tries to minimize the suffering of his opponents. He is deeply loyal to his partner, Verlaine, and his actions are often driven by his search for the truth regarding their past. VerlaineKnown as the "King of Assassins," Verlaine is an artificial lifeform and a Transcendental ability user.Appearance: Verlaine is a tall, slim young man with blonde hair and dark brown eyes. His hair is styled with a braid along the left hairline and a long ponytail, with bangs often obscuring his right eye. He typically wears a stylish three-piece sand-colored suit, a black dress shirt, a cherry-colored tie, and white gloves. He is rarely seen without his signature black porkpie hat, a gift from Rimbaud.Character: Verlaine is formal, polished, and extremely calculating. Because he is an "ability-derived lifeform," he struggles with his own humanity and feels a deep sense of isolation. Arthur Rimbaud’s ability, Illuminations, allows him to create and control a hyperspace that exists outside the laws of physics, within which he can even manipulate the corpses of deceased ability users as his own puppets. Paul Verlaine possesses a powerful gravity-manipulation ability nearly identical to Chūya Nakahara's, enabling him to crush targets or distort space, and can further transform into a devastating singularity known as the Demonic Beast Guivre.
