Fyodor Dostoevsky. Leader of the criminal organization "Rats of the House of the Dead." Possesses the ability "Crime and Punishment."

Nikolai Gogol. An eccentric character who loves to ask questions and answer them immediately. His "Overcoat" ability allows him to link himself to a space within a radius of about 30 meters and move objects and living beings within it.

Kamui. Chapter "Death of the Celestials." His ability allows him to turn everything he touches into fire.

His image is remembered for its military aesthetics: he wears a dark uniform, high boots, and a sword on his belt. He has blonde spiky hair, a few strands fall over his face. Characteristic details are three scars on the right cheek and a mustache bent upwards. Fukuchi's personality seems to have two sides of character. As the commander of the Bloodhounds, he looks eccentric, noisy and even simple, but at the same time he knows how to be a decisive leader and is genuinely proud of the professionalism of his team. In the image of Kamui, the head of the organization "Death of the Celestials", he is much more gloomy and ruthless. At the same time, it retains a kind of "code of honor": for example, it can give the opponent a choice between struggle and death. He is cunning and calculating - it was he who attracted such strong espers as Dostoevsky, Gogol and Sigma to his scheme. Another of his traits is the skill of camouflage and deception: in the army, he was called "The Man with a Hundred Faces". Ability: His ability is called "Lion Dance" (Kagami Jishi).

For him, the casino is not just a job, but the only "home" and meaning of life: he is ready to do a lot to protect it. At the same time, Sigma is not devoid of empathy: he cares about guests, remembers the character traits of even tens of thousands of visitors and tries to give them a second chance. His ability is called "Information Exchange": when touched, he can exchange information with another person - give them the information they need and in return receive what is important to Sigma himself. Role in the plot and affiliation Sigma is a member of the organization "Decay of the Angel" (Decay of the Angel) and the general manager of the "Sky Casino". His story is closely related to "The Book": in fact, he was "created" through it, which is why he has no past in the usual sense. This explains his desperate desire to hold on to what has become his support. Fyodor Dostoevsky sees a special power in it precisely because of this "emptiness": a person who has nothing is able to defend his own with maximum determination.

He balances between madness and awareness: he admits that killing is bad, and even feels guilty, but at the same time he sincerely enjoys chaos and freedom from any restrictions. His main metaphor for freedom is a bird that breaks out of its cage; He calls his own skull his "cell". He feels closest a connection with Fyodor Dostoevsky, whom he calls "Dos-kun" and considers the only one who truly understands him. He is one of the five key members of the terrorist organization "Decay of the Angels". He participates in large-scale provocations, including frame-ups against the Armed Detective Agency.

Appearance Face: Higuchi is a young woman with very pleasant, somewhat soft facial features. She has large golden-brown eyes that often express anxiety or determination. She has blonde (blonde) hair tied up in a high ponytail, and two long strands frame her face. Clothing: She wears a formal business suit that looks like a high-ranking secretary. She wears a classic black pantsuit (jacket and skinny pants). Under the jacket is a white shirt, usually unbuttoned.

• On her feet are black heeled shoes. Glasses: Often wears sunglasses to look stricter during missions, but usually leaves them on his head or in his pocket. Weapons: Since she does not possess supernatural powers (at least they have not been revealed), she is always armed with two submachine guns. The character of Higuchi is the character of a person who is torn between the "world of light" and the "world of shadow". Fanatical Devotion: Her loyalty to Akutagavi borders on adoration. She is willing to go against the boss's orders, risk her life, and engage in battle with much stronger espers to save her mentor.
• Self-doubt and self-criticism: she constantly doubts whether she is worthy of being a member of the mafia. Due to her lack of ability and "soft" nature, she is often the object of ridicule, but her will is often stronger than any magic. Emotional: Higuchi is one of the most emotional members of the organization. She genuinely worries, cries, gets angry, and doesn't know how to hide her feelings behind a mask as skillfully as Ogai or Koyo. Responsibility: Despite her fears, she is very disciplined. When it comes to leading Black Lizard Squad, she acts decisively, although her subordinates don't always take her seriously the first time.

Higuchi is a reminder that you can remain a human being in the Port Mafia, even if you have to hold a weapon in your hands every day.

Appearance

• Appearance: Hirotsu is a man of venerable age. He has slicked back gray hair, a neat beard and a mustache. The most characteristic detail is the monocle on his right eye, which makes him look like an English aristocrat of the last century.
• Clothing: His style is an impeccable classic. He wears a long black coat with a high collar, a white shirt with a black tie, and a light-colored vest. He always wears white gloves, which he does not take off even during battle. He often appears with a cigarette in his hands, which gives his image a noir atmosphere.

Hirotsu is the "voice of reason" in the chaos of the Port Mafia. He has seen bosses change and knows how to survive in this world. Iron Endurance: Unlike Tachihara or Akutagawa, Hirotsu is unfazed. He remains polite and calm even under a hail of bullets. Manners and etiquette: he behaves like a true gentleman. His speech is exquisite, and his movements are calibrated. Even when killing an enemy, he does so with a certain professional respect.

• An experienced mentor: he treats Gin and Tatihara almost like a son (albeit a strict one). He often gives them advice and tries to restrain their impulses. Ultimate Loyalty: Hirotsu is loyal to the Port Mafia as an organization. He unquestioningly follows orders, but at the same time he has his own idea of honor and duty.

His Fallen Blossom (or Falling Camellia) ability allows him to unleash powerful kinetic energy through his fingertips. This makes him incredibly dangerous in close combat - one touch is enough to knock an enemy back tens of meters or break through a wall.

Appearance: He has a very peculiar appearance that is hard to forget. Motojiro has narrow eyes, which he often keeps half-closed, and a wide, slightly maniacal smile. He has short black hair that sticks out in different directions, which gives him the appearance of a "disheveled genius". Clothing: His wardrobe combines classic and laboratory style. He wears a long white coat that is almost always unbuttoned. Under the bathrobe, he wears a dark green suit (jacket and trousers) and a light-colored shirt. The most noticeable detail is the strange glasses (similar to aviators or welding) that he usually wears on his forehead rather than over his eyes. And of course, he almost always has his signature lemon-shaped bombs in his hands or pockets. Motojiro is a true extrovert and science fanatic, but his "science" is always about destruction. Eccentricity: he is extremely energetic, noisy and likes to make pathetic speeches. For him, every explosion is an art, and death is just an interesting biological process that he wants to study. Obsession with science: Kai genuinely believes that the world can only be understood through experimentation. He is not so much interested in money or power as in the opportunity to test his theories in practice.

• Lack of empathy: he is completely indifferent to the suffering of others. For him, people are just guinea pigs. He can talk with a smile about scary things, considering them "elegant solutions". Self-confidence: Motojiro considers himself an unsurpassed genius. He gets irritated when someone doesn't understand the "beauty" of his lemon bombs or interferes with his experiments.

Thanks to his Lemon Bomb ability, he is invulnerable to the explosions of his own devices. Therefore, he can calmly stand in the center of the fiery hell that he himself has arranged, and just laugh.

Appearance

• Face: Akutagawa has a very sickly appearance, with pale, almost white skin, a haggard face, and deep dark circles under his gray eyes. He has medium-length black hair with distinctive white tips on the strands framing his face.
• Clothing: his image has become iconic among fans of "dark" aesthetics. He wears a long black cloak that reaches his knees. This is not just clothes, but his weapon (the Rashonon ability). Under the cloak there is a white shirt with a high collar, decorated with an intricate ruffle (lace scarf). Black pants and black shoes complete this dark, almost Victorian look. Details: He often covers his mouth with his hand or handkerchief when he coughs, which indicates his poor health.

Akutagawa's character is a man who lives in constant inner tension, trying to prove his right to exist. Cruelty and ruthlessness: he believes that the weak must die to make room for the strong. His methods are radical: he rarely takes prisoners and prefers to deal with them on the spot. Thirst for recognition: For many years, his only motivation was to hear words of approval from his former mentor, Dazai Osama. This thirst for recognition makes him incredibly strong and at the same time vulnerable. High discipline and pride: despite his illness, he has incredible endurance. Akutagawa never gives up, even if his body falls apart. He despises fear and cowardice. Social alienation: he does not understand the emotions of other people well and does not know how to communicate "normally". For him, the world is a battlefield where the one with sharper "fangs" survives.

His Raschomon ability allows him to transform the fabric of his cloak into a beast of prey that can even slice through space. It's the perfect metaphor for his character: he uses his shell to protect himself from a world that has been cruel to him.

Gin's appearance is a master of the art of disguise, so her appearance can be divided into two states:

• Working Image (Shinobi): As the Commander of an Assault Squad, she appears as a silent assassin. She wears a dark gray or black jacket with a high collar and a mask that covers the lower part of her face.
• Her hair is tied up in a high, slightly disheveled ponytail, and long bangs cover her eyes. At this moment, her gaze is cold and sharp, like the blade of her dagger.
• True Appearance: Without a mask, Gin is an incredibly beautiful young girl with delicate, graceful features. She has deep gray eyes and long black hair (like her brother Ryunosuke). Outside of work, she dresses very simply and femininely (for example, in a long skirt and sweater), which makes it almost impossible to recognize her in a formidable mafia officer. Gin's character is a man of action, not words. Her character is defined by restraint and deep devotion. Absolute silence: She almost never speaks during missions. Her voice is quiet and soft, which contrasts with her reputation as a killer. Professionalism: It is incredibly fast and efficient. Gin does not possess supernatural abilities (esper abilities), but her skills with a knife and stealth movement make her no less dangerous. Caring: Despite the hard work, Gin has a kind heart. She is very attached to her brother Ryunosuke, although their relationship is not easy, and genuinely respects her Lizard co-stars (Tachihara and Hirotsu). Modesty: She does not seek fame or recognition. Gin feels comfortable in the shadows, doing his job cleanly and without too much pathos. By the way, it is Gin who makes Tachihara constantly nervous because of their eternal arguments about who does a better job.

Face: tousled red hair (lighter than Chewie's) and amber eyes. The most noticeable feature is the plaster on the bridge of his nose, which has become an integral part of his "boyish" image. His gaze is usually irritated or predatory. Clothing: as practical as possible and a little untidy. He wears a dark green military-cut jacket with a raised collar. Under the jacket is a simple black T-shirt.

• He has black fingerless gloves on his hands.
• Loose trousers and heavy boots. Weapons: Unlike most espers, he always carries two pistols with him, which he wields skillfully.

Tachihara's character is a "double agent" and his character is revealed gradually.

• Short-tempered and cocky: As a member of the Black Lizard (a mafia squad), he behaves like a typical gangster: he is rude, the first to get into a fight, and a constant rival with Gin. He is energetic and often acts under the influence of emotions.
• Hidden responsibility: Despite the outward chaos, Tatihara is a professional. When the situation becomes critical, he instantly becomes serious and focused.
• The conflict of identities: its main tragedy is the gap between duty and feelings. As a spy (the fifth member of the Seekers squad), he was supposed to be a cold instrument of justice, but he became genuinely attached to his "colleagues" from the mafia. Willpower: Possesses incredible endurance. Tachihara is ready to go to the end, even if for the sake of a higher goal he has to go against friends or his own conscience. By the way, thanks to his ability "Copper Snow" (metal manipulation), he is one of the few who can give a worthy rebuff even to very strong opponents without using magic.

Face and hair: Koyo is an incredible beauty with classic facial features. She has long, bright red hair styled in an elaborate traditional hairstyle (Heian style) adorned with numerous kanzashi hairpins and flowers. Her eyes are dark red or dark pink, and you can often see thin red lipstick on her lips. Clothing: it almost never goes beyond the traditional style. She wears a luxurious layered kimono, usually light pink or red, with a floral pattern (including gold osmanthus). Over the kimono, she throws a long dark coat (haori), which gives her image the harsh look of a modern mafioso.

• She often holds a red wagasa umbrella with a blade (shikomizue) hidden in the handle.

Koyo is a woman with an "iron fist in a silk glove". She went through hell, and it hardened her heart greatly. Aristocratic restraint: she always carries herself with great dignity and calmness. Even during torture or fierce battles, Koyo retains the mannerisms of a refined lady.

• Tragic fatalism: Due to an unsuccessful attempt to escape from the mafia in her youth (which ended in the death of her lover), she is convinced that "flowers that grow in the shade can only live in semi-darkness." Because of this, she is somewhat cynical about hopes for a bright future. Motherly Care (with a touch of control): She genuinely loves Kyoku and Chūya. She treats Kyoke like a younger sister or daughter, although her methods of parenting, based on fear and cruelty, are dictated by the desire to "protect" the girl from the disappointments of the outside world. Gentle Cruelty: She can be very sweet to talk to, but still order the destruction of an entire squad of enemies.

Appearance

• Face and Hair: Chewie has bright blue eyes and bright red hair. They are usually of medium length, with one strand gathered in a small ponytail that falls over the left shoulder. Facial features are sharp, often expressing irritation or defiant confidence. Clothing: His style is "biker chic" with elements of Victorian classics. He wears a white shirt underneath a gray vest and a short black bolero jacket with sleeves that he often rolls up. He always has a black choker hanging around his neck. Hat: A black hat with rats and a ribbon on it is his signature accessory, which he greatly appreciates. Black Coat: He often throws it over his shoulders like a cloak. Height: Chuya is quite short (160 cm), which constantly becomes a reason for jokes (especially from Dazai) and the reason for his short temper. Chewie's character is the "honor and conscience" of the Port Mafia. Despite his profession, he adheres to clear moral principles. Short temper: He is short-tempered and easily loses his temper. He is easily angered, but rarely loses control of the situation in battle. Loyalty: Unlike Dazai, Chuya is incredibly loyal to the mafia and his subordinates. He cares about the lives of ordinary members of the organization and is ready to risk himself for them.
• Aggressive: He loves a good fight. As the "Best Mafia Fighter", he relies on his strength and ability to manipulate gravity, but he is also an excellent tactician.
• Humanity: Despite being a vessel for the deity of destruction (Arahabaki), Chuya strives above all else to remain human. He appreciates good wine, expensive motorcycles and has a refined taste.

Name: Yumeno Kyusaku. Birthday: January 4. Height: 146 cm.Weight : 38 kg.Blood type: AB. Affiliation: Port Mafia. Appearance: Hair is two-colored: the left side is white, the right side is black. The pupils of the eyes are of different shapes: the right one is in the form of a yellow star, the left one is in the form of a yellow ring. He wears a small hat that has been pushed to the left. Clothing: white shirt and suspenders, black coat, scarf, beige shorts with pinten red stripes, brown shoes and high white calf-length socks. Red sling bag with cat or dog pattern. Always have a doll with you, which is necessary to activate the ability. Personality: Despite his childhood, he has perverse and sadistic tendencies: he enjoys the chaos and destruction caused by his ability. He hates the world, society and even himself. He does not distinguish between the concepts of good and evil - he kills those who have offended him. He likes to manipulate enemies and even comrades, causing them pain. After a traumatic experience in captivity, the Guild begins to doubt the idea of divine love and openly expresses hatred for humanity. Preferences: Loves: Self, chaos, brown sugar. Does not love: himself, the world, society, hospitals. Ability: Dogra MagraType : A curse that affects consciousness. Effect: Causes the target to hallucinate, causing them to attack everyone indiscriminately (friends, allies, enemies). Activation: By injuring a doll that Q carries with her. A spot in the shape of a handprint appears on the victim's body. Feature: the doll is able to regenerate after damage The only known way to stop the curse is to stop being human. Background and role in the story: Joined the Port Mafia shortly after Osamu Dazai. Due to the destructive potential of the ability and mass murder, the mafioso was sealed away by Dazai. Freed by Ogai Mori to fight the Guild and the Armed Detective Agency.

During the kidnapping by the Guild, he was exposed to John Steinbeck's ability: he felt all the pain that the trees throughout Yokohama were "feeling". This led to an emotional breakdown and increased hatred of the world.

He maintains a difficult relationship with Dazai: he formally hates him for his past, but when they meet him, he spares him and declares that he will protect him

Face: looks tired but intelligent. He has medium-length black hair that is slicked back (sometimes a few strands fall on his face) and dull purple eyes with dark circles underneath. His expression often changes: from a feigned good-natured smile to icy indifference. Clothing: usually wears a formal suit to emphasize his status. His standard look includes a white shirt, a black vest, and a tie, over which a long black coat is draped. The most recognizable detail of his image is a long red scarf, a symbol of power inherited from his previous boss.

Mori Ogai is the embodiment of logic and rationalism. He is not guided by emotions, but perceives people and events as pieces on a chessboard. Pragmatism: his every decision is aimed at the benefit of the Port Mafia and the protection of the city of Yokohama. He is ready for any cruelty if it brings strategic benefits. Manipulator: he is a master of psychological games. Mori has a knack for finding people's weaknesses and using them for his own purposes, as was the case with Dazai or Akutagawa. Duality: In everyday life, he may seem eccentric or even a little comical (especially when interacting with Alice), but this mask instantly disappears when it comes to work.

• Doctor's Past: As a military doctor, he retained the cold detachment of a surgeon. For him, the "patient" is the whole city, and he is ready to "amputate" any part of it in order to save the whole.
