Mori Ogai

Mori is a man in his 40s with a fairly tall and slender build. His purple eyes, like a Mafia Boss, are almost always completely dark and lacking in "sparkle", and his gaze always seems tired. He has a strange pattern on his pupils. He has straight, black hair that is below his chin length, combed back and tied in a ponytail. And only two strands frame his face on either side along his cheekbones. He usually wears a formal suit consisting of a black pinstriped jacket and black trousers, which he tucks into his black boots in a military style. Mori also wears a tie with purple and white, thin stripes. Over his suit, he wears a black coat with a wide, stand-up collar, on the left side of which there are two small fasteners in the form of two straps and a long, dark-burgundy scarf almost to the knees, which he leaves untied on his shoulders. He also wears white gloves. In public, Mori wears much less flashy attire, more typical of a "doctor". This includes a purple button-up shirt with a dark purple tie tied over it, somewhat casually. He also wears khaki pants, dark brown low-heeled shoes, and a medical gown. He also leaves his hair loose, with the previously framing strands falling over his forehead.

Initially, Mori Ougai debuts as an ordinary, somewhat awkward and worried middle-aged man, who is mostly worried about Alice's appearance and health. However, he later shows his true character, maintaining complete calm and composure when the others, locked in Anna's room, simply ran away. Mori, on the other hand, stayed with Atsushi and Tanizaki even when the latter was captured. The Mafia boss demonstrates his genius in formulating strategies that come true exactly. In addition, he is presented as a cruel and ruthless person who is able to instill fear in his enemies. Despite this, Ougai works well together with Atsushi, even giving him an idea on how to deal with Lucy's ability. However, his cruelty is not for the sake of cruelty. Mori always weighs the benefits and losses, choosing the best decisions for the Port Mafia as a whole. As expected, these decisions leave a trail of blood in their wake, as well as hurting and traumatizing countless others. Often, the main victims of his violence were Akiko Yosano and Osamu Dazai. Mori never takes emotions into account. For Mori, the "heart" only gets in the way of war. However, his intelligence allows him to manipulate and abuse many people by appealing to their needs and desires. Emotional manipulation and violence have pushed Mori far in his motives at the cost of many lives, and by the time someone realizes they have been used, it is often too late to turn back. An example is using Yosano's abilities and mentally breaking her during the Great War. A largely logical man who knows how to use words to his advantage, Mori is not afraid of the threats and intimidation typical of a cold, experienced mafioso. Age and gender do not matter to him. However, when it comes to his grand plans, he cites his experience manipulating children, as their inexperience makes them much easier to control.

Mori's mannerisms and polite behavior are mostly due to maintaining a sense of control and power in any given situation. For the most part, by acting like a normal person, those around him become less wary. For example, when Mori is in public and needs to avoid suspicion. Otherwise, it creates a certain distance between him and others, as if nothing they say ever bothers him. Yukichi Fukuzawa, his former ally, knows the depths of Mori's darkness. Both he and Dazai are most often able to see through Mori's multifaceted pretenses. Once this facade is removed, Mori's intensity and willingness to do anything, even kill, becomes obvious and disturbing. His power is so great that Lucy is paralyzed with fear when Mori confronts her. He treats his subordinates with respect, values ​​their skills and contributions to the organization, and recognizes their strength. Thus, even when faced with a certain degree of insubordination, Mori is willing to overlook some mistakes if the outcome benefits the Port Mafia. This explains why he never punishes Akutagawa for reckless behavior. In Mori's words, "effort is the most important thing, results come second." Mori's leeway towards the organization's most active and influential members also extends to them, granting them a degree of "freedom" and independence from his scrutiny. He typically converses regularly, usually with his two most active superiors, Koyo Ozaki and Chuya Nakahara, the former of whom often criticizes Mori's eccentricities in the form of dry banter. Their long-term partnership leads to Mori agreeing to spare Kyoka's life after she defects from the Port Mafia. As the Port Mafia's thriving control of Yokohama, Mori is held in high regard for two reasons: either out of respect, fear, or sometimes a combination of both, by his many subordinates.

Mori believes that the leader of the organization both rules over it and is its slave. This belief drives him to use drastic and ruthless strategies. He is also more than happy to use a common enemy to his advantage, such as exposing Naomi Tanizaki and Kirako Haruno to the Guild's hideout in hopes of using the Agency to protect the girls and ease the Port Mafia's workload. He uses the same tactics when informing Andre of the orphans' location, killing the children, and sending Oda on his own suicide mission. This manipulation and use of knowledge forms the basis of Mori's decision-making and tactics, making him a dangerous and unpredictable opponent. Loss and failure are Mori's worst enemies. As are the large number of subordinates who died during the Q incident or Kouyou's detention at the Agency. Mori truly hates "parasites" such as smugglers and the like. He believes that they "suck Yokohama dry for their own gain and upset its delicate balance." Mori, out of respect for Natsume, takes his duty of "balancing" Yokohama seriously. The only time Mori has ever admitted to a serious flaw in his decisions is when he took on the role of Dazai's mentor. He greatly underestimated Dazai's own intelligence and his shrewd, detached view of the world. Ironically, their nearly identical personalities troubled Mori. However, he turns his own mistake into a valuable discovery: a subordinate and a "right-hand man". Control over Dazai was critical to him, given the fact that his intelligence could one day be Mori's undoing. This greatly influenced Mori's decision to use Sakunosuke, Dazai's only friend, to eliminate the Mimic organization, leading Dazai to defect.

The only "human" who is privy to Mori's less threatening, controlling side is Alice. The incredible irony is that even Alice's demanding, harsh attitude towards him is Mori's doing. He is obsessed with Alice, annoying her with frequent trips to clothing stores, tailors, and the like, just to dress her up for his own amusement. What irritates Alice most is that even her stern personality pleases Mori.

Vita Sexualis (ヰタ・セクスアリス, Wita Sekusuarisu?) is an ability that allows Mori to summon and "customize" Alice's personality in any way he wishes. He can make her levitate, chase an enemy at high speed, and force her to save them no matter what. He can summon Alice at will and have her attack his enemies with a large piece of medical equipment that has the outline of a giant syringe.[3]
