PM and VDA

Verlaine first met Chuuya when he was sixteen years old. He introduced himself as the boy's older brother and tried to convince him to leave the Port Mafia, of which he was a member. To force Chuuya to follow him, Verlaine began killing everyone he cared about. These actions forced Chuuya, along with his friends Dazai and Adam, to confront Verlaine.

Character
Verlaine's personality is complex and contradictory. Initially, he was controlled by a series of programmed codes, and his personality was artificial. After freeing himself from the control of researcher Pan, he began to struggle with the realization that he was not a human being, but a creature created by man. Arthur Rimbaud tried to help him cope with this.
However, Verlaine later betrayed Rimbaud and the mission they were on together. He refused to hand over Chuya Nakahara to the French government for experimentation because he empathized with Chuya, who, like himself, was an artificially created clone. This empathy ultimately overrode his concern for his friend, and Verlaine attempted to kill Rimbaud to free the boy.

Without Rimbaud, Verlaine's sanity began to crumble. He could no longer accept the fact of his artificial origin, and his beliefs became warped. He became uncontrollable and began killing those Chuya cared about, in order to make the boy suffer and thereby "tie" him to himself.
Verlaine can be described as a "lone wolf" who trusts no one. As a hired killer, he displayed a mysterious and deadly nature, not immediately revealing his true intentions.

Ability: Gravity manipulation, which he used extensively in his missions. This ability is very similar to Chuuya Nakahara's "Tainted Sorrow" and is considered transcendental.
Relationship with Chuuya Nakahara: Verlaine positions himself as Chuuya's "honorary younger brother," though they are not related. This is due to the fact that both were artificially created, and Verlaine, feeling intense loneliness due to his origins, attempts to "attach" Chuuya to him in order to share this feeling.

Nicknames: "King of Assassins", "Demonic Beast Guivre", "Black No. 12", "Postman".

Verlaine's
appearance is a tall young man with a slender build. He has blonde hair that is braided along the hairline on the left side of his face. The right eye is hidden by bangs. The braid is tied with a ribbon, and the rest of the hair is gathered into a long ponytail.

a three-piece suit in dark sand tones (backless vest, pants);
a light sand coat, which he usually leaves draped over his shoulders;
a brooch on the lapel;
a black dress shirt with sleeves rolled up to the forearms;
a cherry tie tucked under a waistcoat;
white gloves;
a black pigskin hat given to him by Arthur Rimbaud;
black dress shoes.

When Verlaine posed as a Port Mafia postman, he wore a black suit and sunglasses in addition to a hat. Later, during a meeting with Osamu Dazai in a shipping container, he wore a navy suit and a black hat.
Character
The personality of Verlaine is complex and contradictory. Initially, he was controlled by a series of programmed codes, and his identity was artificial. After being freed from Researcher Peng's control, he began to struggle with the realization that he was not a human, but a creature created by man. Arthur Rimbaud tried to help him cope with this.
However, Verlaine later betrayed Rimbaud and the mission they carried out together. He refused to hand Chuyu Nakahara over to the French government for experimentation because he was able to empathize with Chuya, who, like himself, was an artificially created clone. This sympathy eventually defeated his concern for his friend, and Verlaine tried to kill Rimbaud in order to free the boy. Without Rimbaud, Verlaine's mind began to collapse. He could no longer accept the fact of his artificial origin, and his beliefs were distorted. He became uncontrollable and began to kill those Chuya cared for in order to make the boy suffer and thereby "bind" him to himself.

Verlaine was a mentor to Kyoka and Gin

Rampo's character and personality
is the self-proclaimed "greatest detective in the world". He is very proud of his "abilities" and often brags about it. At the same time, his behavior is sometimes childish: he likes to tease colleagues in the agency, can call a person a "fool" or "blockhead" and disdainfully pat on the head, regardless of his status. However, in critical situations, he is able to maintain composure and prudence. Rampo is a big fan of sweets, especially sweet red beans. He does not like common sense and useless knowledge. He is also characterized by topographical cretinism (he does not know how to navigate the terrain).

Sam
Ranpo calls his skill "Superdeduction" (超推理) and truly believes that it is a supernatural ability. However, in fact, he does not have any special powers - his success in investigations is explained exclusively by his brilliant mind, observation and ability to logically analyze information.

Both
of Rampo's parents died when he was 14. After that, he went to the city to study at the police academy, but did not study there for long and was expelled for breaking the rules.
Later, Rampo was taken to the scene of the murder of Fukuzawa's client, who worked as a bodyguard. After successfully solving the case, he hired him, and, in fact, the agency was created, among other things, to use Ranpo's "abilities".

Akiko's character
is graceful and dignified, proud of her strength as a woman and a doctor. She is a feminist and advocates for equal rights for men and women. Almost always she is calm and reserved, but when angry she becomes very strong and dangerous.

As the agency's sole doctor, she values human life and opposes senseless deaths and killings.

Her ability is called "Do not give your life, my beloved." It allows you to heal external wounds, but with a strict condition: a person must be on the verge of death. Because of this, in order to heal a non-fatal wound, Akiko must first inflict serious harm on the patient. When activated, butterflies seem to fly out of her body, healing the injured when touched. She is also skilled in close combat and sometimes wields a large cleaver.

History
During the Great War, Akiko served as a military medical scientist. She healed even minor wounds of soldiers, which is why she received the nickname "Angel of Death" from them. The constant use of the ability drained her physically and mentally. After the war, she was isolated and wore a white hospital gown.

Albatross was a member of the Port Mafia and a member of the Flags group, an ambitious youth who aspired to get into the executive committee.

Appearance
Albatross had short blonde hair with a small pigtail on the right side. He wore dark oval-shaped rimless glasses, small hoop earrings in both ears, and an expensive watch on his left hand. Over a white sports shirt, he wore a sleeveless leather jacket with a hood framed by fur, slightly torn trousers that he tucked into high-topped military boots, and a chain around his neck. He often carried a wide kukri knife with him, which he hid under his jacket.

Role and responsibilities
In the Port Mafia, Albatross was responsible for vehicles and transportation. He prepared everything from cars to special boats that went unnoticed by coastal radars. He could drive any vehicle better than anyone else. It was rumored that he was once able to evade a high-speed Coast Guard attack helicopter while maneuvering in an old, battered fishing boat.

Skills
Weapon Mastery: Albatross was dexterous with kukri machetes, and may also have wielded pistols.
Physical Prowess: He had quick reflexes and speed that allowed him to fight on equal terms with the other members of the Banner and even hold his own against Adam Frankenstein.
Driving: As a former mafia helmsman, he could control anything with a steering wheel, including cars and boats, with greater speed and precision than anyone else.

Control of traffic gave him another power: if he didn't like someone, Albatross could interrupt his financial activities.

Prior to joining the Port Mafia, Albatross was a member of the Helmsmen. He lived upstairs in the same high-end apartment complex as Chuya Nakahara and, according to the latter, was the worst neighbor.

Doc was a member of the Port Mafia and served as the organization's surgeon and medical director.

Personality and beliefs
Doc genuinely believed that saving lives would bring him closer to God. His goal was to save two million people, as many as God killed according to the Bible. To do this, he joined the mafia, expecting a large-scale conflict in which many people would die.

Skills
Doc was considered a top-notch doctor even among his colleagues in the mafia's medical unit. Although he was not active on the battlefield, he could react quickly. For example, during one of the incidents, he was able to pull out a syringe and press it to Chuya Nakahara's temple as quickly as other mobsters.

At the same time, his activities were controversial: despite the fact that he saved about 800 lives, he also deliberately took the lives of about the same number of people, including with the help of poison.

Doc's appearance
was of a thin, sickly build. He had short black hair that looked like a bob-kare with bangs, bags under his eyes, a scar on his right cheek, and teeth that resembled sharks. On the neck there is a bandage that looks like a wide plaster. He wore a white lab coat with wide sleeves, under which were visible IV tubes, surgical pants, and slip-ons. He always carried a tripod for infusions with an IV attached to it, and bags with medical instruments on his hip belt.

In the Port Mafia, doctors were especially valued and treated with respect, since the boss Ogai Mori was an underground doctor himself.

Relationships with other characters
With Osamu Dazai: Doc saved Dazai from suicide when he was a mafia leader. This act laid the foundation for their interaction: later, Dazai, already in the role of an employee of the Detective Agency, repeatedly turned to Doc for medical help and information. Doc, in turn, saw potential in Dazai and tried to steer him to the path he believed was right.

Appearance:
Short blonde hair parted in the middle.
On the right side of the hairstyle are three asymmetrical dark strands resembling the black keys of a piano.
Tall stature, thin fingers.
He dressed in black and white: a white shirt with a chess collar, a white vest with a belt, white slacks, a black coat with white lapels and black Chelsea boots.

Personality:
Impulsive, sometimes neglecting deadlines due to dissatisfaction with his work.
A mixture of inconstancy, delicacy and cruelty.
He was considered the youngest mafioso who was closest to the position of mafia leader.

He founded the band The Flags and invited Chuya Nakahara to join it.

Mafia boss Ogai Mori tasked him with keeping an eye on Chewia in case he tried to betray the organization.
Despite the assignment, the Pianist turned out to be more of a friend than an observer for Chewie.
He acted behind the boss's back and told Chuya about confidential mafia files.

Iceman was an assassin and a member of The Flags, which was part of the Port Mafia.

Iceman has short hair with a slight parting, which causes a small area of his forehead to be visible. Above the closed right eye there is a vertical scar. He wore a simple black coat and an untied light-colored scarf over his suit (white shirt, vest, slacks, tie), as well as dark gloves. He was almost always seen smoking a cigarette.

Skills and abilities:
Physical prowess and resourcefulness. Iceman did not rely on supernatural abilities. He knew how to turn anything that came to hand into a weapon: a pen, a bottle, a lamp cord or a cue.
He masterfully blended in with his surroundings like a shadow and was never detected by the radars of the Special Division or the military police.
Keen Intuition: He could sense when another person's ability was activated nearby, allowing him to accurately choose the moment and place to strike.

Iceman was the second oldest in the group after the Pianist. Within the team, he had difficult, but working connections.
He had an understanding with the Pianist, Albatross, Doc and Lippmann. Together they participated in the affairs of the Mafia, and there is an episode in the plot where they all congratulate Chuya Nakahara on the anniversary of his entry into the Mafia.
In the same scene, Iceman admitted that he did not have a personal dislike for Chewia, although he initially thought the party was a bad idea. This contrasts with Chewie's perception that Iceman hates him because of past events.
Later, during a skirmish, when Iceman repeated the question about Chewie's birthplace, Chewie attacked him. The rest of the Flags, especially the Pianist, intervened to separate them.

Lippmann has a medium-length bob haircut. There is a distinct mole under the left eye. He wears a vest over his suit. He also wears classic slip-on shoes and a Crombie coat.

Lippmann was a member of the Port Mafia who was responsible for public relations.

Personality:
Lippmann appears as a gentle, eloquent and charismatic person. He was a master of words, which Doc said misled many women. As a representative of the mafia in negotiations, he knew how to handle words in difficult circumstances - he met with political figures and talked to the press.
He usually spoke softly but confidently, sometimes teasing or even straightforward. Lippmann was adept at solving problems under pressure: his work involved meeting powerful people, and he solved most problems almost instantly.

In addition to oratory, Lippmann had other strengths:
He was considered the stage face of the mafia, possessed impeccable skills and persuasiveness. He negotiated with shell companies, politicians and the press.
He was spoken of as a "born actor" with a gift for talkativeness and many fans.
Lippmann was also skilled with weapons and had incredible speed. He carried a variety of weapons, including at least two pistols.

Lippmann's ability (intent to kill) allowed him to react to and counteract the attacker's bloodthirsty intentions, making him extremely difficult to kill without leaving evidence. Because of his notoriety, he was even considered more difficult to eliminate than the mafia boss Ogai Mori himself: the news of his death would attract the attention of many parties.

Lippmann was the only one who remembered the official name of the band the Flags (except for the Pianist) who thought about it for three months after the band's founding. The others forgot the name until Lippmann recalled it by giving a speech about its symbolic significance during the celebration of Chewie's first year in the Mafia.

Lippman graduated from Harvard University and speaks 4 languages
