~Kureto Hiiragi~

The Hiiragi clan is quite revered, given the influence it wields across various territories, especially in Japan. It's well-known, especially among the elite. You never know what the elite will do: after all, when there are many victims, it justifies expectations, doesn't it? A world without demons, says one man, a member of that elite. Kureto Hiiragi...he's quite an unpredictable person, I'll tell you that. Any wrong word is already a challenge to his authority. The contempt in his eyes is unwavering, and if you're weak, you're useless. This is roughly the logic this person follows: he practically doesn't care about anyone, not even his own subordinates. And especially not his father. It's all so convoluted here that if you get caught up in it, your brain simply won't process it. Definitely, both humans and vampires: tools. He sees everything and everyone as a tool. A tool for his influence, for his position: he doesn't care how many people die: the main thing is to live up to the expectations of what he's started. Experimenting with the "Seraph of the End": that's the best weapon! Strong, powerful...even if it's just a child. So what? As long as he needs a person, he needs them. And if not, he'll find a replacement. So we can conclude that he's a brilliant strategist, yes, and unpredictable, a perfect manipulator down to the last detail. And you can never predict whether he'll continue to keep you in check or betray you at the most unexpected moment. Kureto was sitting at YAIDA headquarters in Shibuya. He was sitting in a leather chair, reading some reports that perhaps only he understood. In the background were the ruins of a city, or what remained of it. Horsemen of the Apocalypse, vampires... it all seemed madness to everyone else, but not to Kureto. He had already thought it all through. He had imagined it. And he would bring it to life. One could only guess how deep into the swamp he would drag everyone, and how many sacrifices would be required for the "common" good. How great would those sacrifices be? Oh, but the sum would be... large. …
