fandom.07ghost | # Shiroki
Shiroki is a minor character from the 07-Ghost series. He held the position of major general (sometimes translated as rear admiral) of the second fleet and thus was a prominent member of the army. He often tried to cause trouble for Ayanami, the army's former Chief of Staff. Shiroki was often seen with generals Nabiki and Ogi, but over the course of the series their friendship fell apart and he later killed Nabiki, and in turn was himself framed by Ogi as plotting to kill Wakaba Oak and Ogi (which was probably true). He was last seen being dragged away by two guards, and Ogi later said he committed suicide.
Etymology.
In Japanese, the kanji "白木", meaning plain wood (unvarnished wood), which can be seen in Japanese houses, is pronounced as "shiroki".
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Whilst not being very tall, Shiroki is the second tallest of the three admirals in the manga, taller than Nabiki but still smaller than Ogi, (in the anime he is the smallest) which gives him an estimated height of 5 foot 6. His build is thin and his weight is unknown. Shiroki has a heart-shaped face with wider cheeks and a pointy chin. He has large eyes, their colour unknown, a large, aquiline nose, a large mouth and wrinkled features. His hair is light brown, straight, and cut short with a fringe that is parted to the left and spiked slightly.
Clothing.
Shiroki wears the standard military uniform: a black, or dark blue, ankle-length overcoat with golden trimmings on the chest, sleeve cuffs and neck guard. He wears black trousers and knee-length, black, buckled boots and white gloves, as well as a plain white shirt under his overcoat. His uniform has a small half mantle hanging off his left shoulder emblazoned with the Barsburg military insignia and a golden shoulder board on his right.
Personality.
Similar to the other two generals, Shiroki appears spiteful and crooked, being heavily motivated by jealousy, revenge, power and monetary gain. Shiroki was shown to be corrupt, as he panics when he heard that Ayanami was investigating some of the army's "strange bills" (e.g. a bill from a Japanese food restaurant), and also sought after the Eye of Mikhail for his own gain, willing to kill those in his path. He has also been shown to be quite personal, ready to mock or cause trouble to people whom he dislikes, such as when Ayanami broke the charter he suggested to the higher-ups that Ayanami be punished immediately. He is notoriously two-faced, acting respectful before Ayanami and then making cruel remarks behind his back, and also appearing to deceive his 'friends' and act in his own interests. It is shown that he formed his opinion before hearing all the facts, such as he had an angry outburst upon hearing one of the fleet ships had crashed, before hearing that the Eye of Mikhail had been discovered in the course.
Shiroki was also shown to be cruel towards Warsfeil, as he was shown rounding up Warsfeil to use in inhumane experiments for the Eye of Mikahil, being more concerned with their control over the Eye of Mikhail than their deaths.
He could be seen as having a sense of dignity, as after he was framed by Ogi in manga chapter 62, he committed suicide instead of letting himself be executed for a crime might not have gone on to commit(he did kill Nabiki, but it is not proven that he was planning to kill Wakaba). However, this could also be interpreted as cowardice as he could have committed suicide for fear the Military would dispatch him in a more brutal way.
Relationships.
Superiors.
Wakaba Oak: Shiroki was framed by Ogi to make it look as if he(Shiroki) was plotting to kill Wakaba. Although Shiroki denied the claims, he had already killed Nabiki by this point, and it seems very likely that he would also want to kill Wakaba. Shiroki appears to see him as an obstacle to the Eye of Mikhail, as according to the laws, the amy's marshal can decide how to use the Eyes.
As Wakaba seems to be younger than Shiroki but holds a higher position, it is possible that he does not like Wakaba for the same reasons he dislikes Ayanami.
Miroku: Shiroki does not appear to have that much respect for Miroku as although he accepts his judgement, he does this grudgingly, and questions his actions such as his decision to send Ayanami to the Academy.
Ayanami.
Shiroki has a very low opinion of Ayanami, speaking very unkindly about him behind his back and mocking his family, and using terms such as 'brat', 'impertinent youth' and 'intolerable youngster' to refer to him. This suggests that Shiroki's problem with Ayanami lies with the latter's young age, and it may be that Shiroki is unwilling to take orders from someone younger than him because of his pride, or he is jealous that Ayanami has managed to outrank him while still being young. Another reason for Shiroki disliking Ayanami is that the latter is a Warsfeil, Shiroki being shown cruelly treating several Warsfeil, and it could be that he is angry at the insult of having to answer to one, or that he dislikes taking orders from someone of a lower class to him as Ayanami is "merely a descendant of the lowest class of aristocrats".
Whatever the reason, he dislikes Ayanami so much that he was quick to suggest his execution after hearing one of the fleet ships had crashed while under his command. Shiroki's hatred also seems to be based on his greed for the Eye of Mikhail, as he commented that Ayanami's presence stopped him from getting it.
Peers.
Nabiki.
Shiroki is often seen with Nabiki, sharing some sort of bond with their mutual hatreds, similar personalities, and same professions. Shiroki did not appear to think of Nabiki as a true friend, as he pushed Nabiki from a window in an effort to eliminate the competition for the Eye of Mikhail. Upon witnessing his death, Shiroki grins and pays Nabiki's corpse a final insult by sarcastically remarking: "what a pity".
Ogi.
Shiroki is often seen with Ogi, sharing some sort of bond with their mutual hatreds, similar personalities, and same professions. It is unknown if Shiroki did think of Ogi as a friend or just as a tool to get closer to his goal, although it is probably of the latter. He was later framed by Ogi to make it look as if he(Shiroki) was plotting to kill Wakaba and Ogi. Noting Ogi's presence at the court, Shiroki's last words are: "Ogi, you bastard!" before he is dragged away.
History.
Childhood.
He mocks Ayanami for his family being discarded from the royal line, which suggests that he is from a family of nobles.
Raggs War.
Nabiki appeared to have been with the military for more than a decade as he is a high-ranking officer, and is implied to have taken part in the Raggs War.
Manga synopsis.
A meeting about the Eye.
Shiroki is first seen in a meeting concerning the escape of the host for the Eye of Mikhail, where he hounds Ayanami for losing the host of the Eye of Mikhail and visiting the academy. When Miroku explains the he sent Ayanami to the academy, Shiroki looks annoyed.
After the meeting Shiroki stands with his fellow generals, Ogi and Nabiki, and verbally abuses Ayanami as he walks past; insulting his youth, and Hyuuga, who overhears them and is annoyed at the insult to his superior, cuts their belts which leaves their underwear exposed.
Aftermath of the meeting.
He and the other two generals appear again after Ayanami and Hyuuga decide they must claim the Eye of Mikhail. He laughs as Nabiki harasses Ayanami but then becomes frightened when Ayanami says they (he and Hyuuga) were "investigating the source of the army's mysterious expenses".
A meeting about Antwort.
Shiroki next appears in a meeting with generals Ogi and Nabiki, and the strategist Ayanami, about the war with Antwort. When Ayanami disagrees with their battle tactics, he is annoyed and offended and the other two generals suggest Ayanami deal with it personally. When Ayanami says he will only need 500 men, Shiroki is alarmed, but is pleased that Ayanami would be leaving Hohburg.
Discovery of the Eye of Mikhail.
Shiroki appears in another meeting concerning Ayanami's loss of two imperial fleet ships. Shiroki, along with the other two generals, is appalled at the damage and is quick to demand Ayanami's execution. However, Field Marshal Wakaba Oak silences them and draws their attention to the Eye of God left in the mountains of District 7- it being proof the Eye of Mikhail was present at the attack. He responds with shock when the Field Marshal tells them they should thank Ayanami for the discovery, but then congratulates him on Shuri Oak's passing of the Begleiter Exam.
Ayanami's return.
When Ayanami returns from Antwort, bringing news that the country is now under Barsburg's control, he is less than impressed. He looks crestfallen when chairman Miroku Barsburg and Wakaba Oak continue to defend Ayanami when Ogi attacks Ayanami for breaking the charter.
He expresses extreme shock when Ayanami presents Wakaba with the Eye of Mikhail.
Shiroki is later shown using Warsfeil in experiments for the Eye of Mikhail, which results in the deaths of a few of them, as Nabiki comments: "another failure".
Shiroki is later established as a serious threat as his lust for the Eye of Mikhail drives him to insanity and he tries to eliminate the higher ups around him in order to have the Eye to himself. He first pushes Nabiki from the window, but then in turn is framed by Ogi. This happened with a fake suicide note from Nabiki (actually written by Ogi) which alleged his participation in a plot to remove Ogi and general Oak. Shiroki looks panic-stricken as the charges are read, and vehemently denies the claims, although most likely they are true. When he spots Ogi, he appears to realise the true author of the not and screams: "Ogi, you bastard" as he is dragged away. Despite the 'suicide note' pleading for a lenient sentence for him, Wakaba appeared dismissive, and it remains unknown if he was executed, or imprisoned.

fandom.07ghost | # Shuri's Cronies
Shuri's Cronies are two unnamed Barsburg Military Academy students who spent a lot of time in Shuri Oak's company early in the series. However, they did not show up again after the first few episodes/chapters.
Appearance.
They wear the typical uniform. Both are dark-haired, though one of them has hair of a much darker shade of brown than the other. The darker-haired boy has a fringe parted in the middle and the other's fringe forms an "M" shape. Both have a light skin tone, almost as light as Shuri's.
Personality.
Since they hung out with Shuri before he started showing more positive aspects to his personality, it can be deduced that they are unkind. They seem to be followers rather than leaders, since they back up Shuri instead of taking action on their own.
Relationships.
Shuri Oak.
They were on good terms with him but do not appear to have stayed in touch with him after he joined The Black Hawks.
History.
Not much is known about them. They may come from reasonably well-to-do and high-ranking families, since Shuri doesn't mind their company. At some point, they enrolled at the Academy and apparently move in the same social circle as Shuri.
Synopsis.
They are briefly seen accompanying Shuri a few times. They do not get much dialogue and mainly function as Shuri's supporters, getting into a fight against Mikage and Teito alongside Shuri and smirking in the background when Shuri mocks Teito.
Abilities.
Being Barsburg Military Academy students, they presumably are able to use Zaiphon, though they have not been seen using it.
| Shuri's Cronies |
fandom.07ghost | # Shuri's Mother
This unnamed woman is the mother of Shuri Oak and the widow of Wakaba Oak. She has not been seen in either the manga or the anime. However, Shuri does mention her twice in the manga.
Appearance.
She probably looks like most other Oaks, with blonde hair and fox-like facial features.
Personality.
Little is known about her but chances are, she is as indulgent of Shuri as her husband, Wakaba, was.
Relationships.
Her family.
She can be assumed to be close to her immediate family i.e. her husband and son, but her relationships with other Oaks are unknown.
History.
She married Wakaba and gave birth to Shuri. Whether her marriage to Wakaba was arranged and/or inbred is unknown.
Manga synopsis.
She has been mentioned twice. The first time, Shuri cried out for her and Wakaba when he was frightened during the Antwort War. The second time, Shuri told Teito that he was going to look for her at the Oak House before Wakaba's funeral.

fandom.07ghost | # Shuri Oak
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Shuri Oak is a neutral, previously antagonistic, secondary character of the 07-ghost series. He first appeared at the Barsburg Military Academy, and was Teito and Mikage's classmate, the former of whom he used to verbally bully due to him being a slave.
Shuri is the son of Wakaba Oak and the younger first cousin of Hakuren Oak. He was the president representing the students in the military academy, but among the Black Hawks he is disliked and seen as a nuisance. He became a member of the Black Hawks after his graduation, but has not yet joined in the anime. After the death of his father, Shuri ceased to antagonise Teito, the main protagonist, because Teito helped him at Wakaba's funeral.
Etymology.
Shuri's name may come from Shuri castle in Japan. Shuri castle was the palace of the Ryūkyū Kingdom, and may allude to Shuri's (the character's) family's wealth.
In Japanese, "to fix/repair" is pronounced as "shuuri".
His surname, Oak, may be derived from the fact that the oak leaf is commonly seen on military awards and insignia, as it is a symbol of strength, and the oak (tree) is the national tree of Germany.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Shuri appears as a boy in his mid-teens and is of average build, having the same height and weight as Mikage, who is 167 cm and weighs 51 kg. Shuri has a slim build with an angular face, a small nose and a small mouth with full lips. His skin tone is quite dark compared to his light colored hair, his hair being pale blonde, neck length, and parted to the right, almost falling over his right eye. Shuri's most notable features are his large, bright blue eyes, with long black eyelashes, particularly on his bottom lid, and the red studs he wears in his ears. Earrings appear to be a family tradition of some sort, as Wakaba Oak also wears earrings.
On the whole, Shuri bears a significant resemblance to his father and many other Oaks. It is unknown if he also resembles his mother.
Clothing.
Shuri wears the Barsburg Military cadet uniform, consisting of a black, or dark blue, thigh-length tunic with long sleeves and a neck guard. He wears black trousers and knee-length back boots and white gloves similar to the other military cadets. His uniform has golden trimming on the shoulders, chest, sleeve cuffs and neck guard and he also wears a gold belt. He also has gold shoulder boards on his right shoulder and a small version of the Barsburg Military insignia over his left shoulder.
In the manga, after he has graduated from the academy, he wears the standard military uniform, which consists of an ankle-length overcoat with a small half-mantle over his left shoulder with an enlarged version of the Barsburg Military insignia. At his belt there is a rather large and ornately decorated sabre, though his skill in using a sword in a real battle is questionable. His black trousers, knee-length boots and white gloves stay the same.
During Princess Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg's masquerade ball, Shuri wears the appropriate noble clothing, and a mask.
Personality.
Shuri is arrogant, stubborn and spoilt. As his parents have over-protected him by preparing everything for him and solving all the problems for him, he has developed the habit of calling for his parent(s) (especially his father), whom he mistakenly thinks can cause anything to change, whenever he faces difficulty or has troubles. He breaks down in stressful situations, and asks for help.
He is frank and childish, thus often says or does things that offend others without realizing or meaning it. He cries easily (e.g. when he sees dead bodies the first time), become nervous or frightened easily. He doesn't hide his anger, fear, like, dislike or sadness. He says how he thinks/feels outright most of the time.
He enjoys being praised and dislikes when people he doesn't like (e.g. Teito) receive more attention than him. As he comes from a very wealthy family, he easily finds that things are not up to his standard, such as he doesn't have his own office in the Black Hawks, or the Black Hawks's aircraft is small compared to his father's.
Despite insulting Teito based on his past as a sklave, Shuri may not be as prejudiced as he initially seemed, as he does not insult or treat differently the Black Hawks despite them being Warsfeil.
He can often act in a stupid or naive way. For example, after he announces that he is Ayanami's new Begleiter, Ayanami asks "Who brought this rubbish on board?" and Shuri agreed with Ayanami (not realizing that the rubbish Ayanami was referring to is Shuri).
Shuri appreciates it when others defend him, as shown by his becoming attached to Konatsu after Konatsu saves him during the Antwort War, and by his warming to Teito after Teito helps him at Wakaba's funeral.
Relationships.
Family and relatives.
Wakaba Oak: Shuri has a very good relationship with his father, possibly because he is much loved by Wakaba. Unlike his cousin, he respects and trusts his father completely and does what his father wants him to do, be it to take military as his career or to go to the Black Hawks. At Wakaba's funeral, Shuri cries his heart out on top of Wakaba's dead body and won't let go of the coffin, having to be forcibly dragged away by two soldiers. (manga chapter 75)
He is very reliant on his father emotionally (e.g. his father hugs him after a teary Shuri comes back from Antwort; when Shuri is left alone in the battlefield, he also cries and calls for his parents) and career-wise.
His mother: It seems that they have a good relationship too, as Shuri calls her "mama", and when he felt helpless in Antwort, he also called for her.
Hakuren Oak: Shuri has a strained relationship with his older cousin. They enjoy mocking each other and seeing the other party look defeated.
Hakuren's parents: Considering that Wakaba and Hakuren's father seem to avoid each other, and that neither of Hakuren's parents were seen at Wakaba's funeral, it is likely that Shuri is not close to his aunt and uncle.
Other Oak members: Shuri doesn't approve of quite a number of them, as he implies that the Oaks present at Wakaba's funeral are people who only think of their own gain. (manga chapter 75)
People in the military.
Ayanami: Shuri shows a good deal of respect for Ayanami, using the honorific "sama" when addressing him, and looks quite pleased to be assigned as a Begleiter to the then Chief of Staff, the second highest rank officer in the Army. However, Ayanami dislikes him and considers him a nuisance.
Hyuuga: When traveling to Antwort, Shuri was thrown off the aircraft by Hyuuga. However, Shuri did not complain to the Marshal when he had the chance, so it could be because he respected Hyuuga or he didn't want to make things difficult for Hyuuga's Begleiter, Konatsu, whom he liked a lot.
Konatsu Warren: Shuri likes and respects Konatsu. He considers Konatsu his idol, as he is a skillful swordsman and has saved him on the battlefield. Shuri has said that Konatsu is the epitome of his ideal soldier and he wants to be just like him. Shuri also considers Konatsu an elder brother figure (as arrogant as Shuri is, he uses "o-nii-sama" (respectable elder brother sama) to address him.
However, after Wakaba's death, Shuri may no longer regard Konatsu highly, as he observes those who don't care about his father coldly and looks down on them, and it is obvious that Konatsu doesn't care about Wakaba's death.
Teito Klein: Shuri often verbally bullied Teito about the fact that he (Teito) had been a slave or that he was 'a pet' of Chairman Miroku. Possible reasons are that he (coming from the second highest social class) dislikes those coming from the lowest social class (slaves), or that he was jealous that Teito received more attention or better treatment from the chairman than he did.
After graduation, Shuri met Teito in the Black Hawks and they shared the same bedroom. Shuri said it was a humiliation that Teito was his room-mate (manga chapter 72), and both Shuri and Teito requested a change in room-mate, but Konatsu rejected it. In manga chapter 75, their relationship somewhat improved, after Teito hit the soldier who was dragging Shuri away from Wakaba's corpse. Later, Teito was seen sitting beside Shuri, who curled himself up and buried his face in his own elbows. In manga chapter 80, their relationship improved to the extent that they even chatted at Ouka's birthday ball.
Shuri still occasionally insults Teito, but without any malice, and Teito seems less easily offended by Shuri's insults.
Other soldiers: Because Shuri was the field marshal's dear son, it appears that many soldiers respect (or dare not disrespect) Shuri on the surface, as they call him Shui-sama even though Shuri is much younger than them or/and his rank in the military is lower than theirs. Some of them think Shuri is troublesome, while some of Wakaba's subordinates seem to care about Shuri to a small extent (one of Wakaba's subordinate doubts if it is good to let Shuri stay in a group of Warsfeil, the Black Hawks).
Others.
Mikage Celestine: When Shuri verbally bullied Teito, Mikage would mock Shuri back. In manga chapter 75, when Teito asked if Shuri knew to which unit Mikage was assigned, Shuri coldly said "I have no reason to know things related to proletariat like you guys, haven't I?". In fact, Shuri was in very low spirits when he heard of Mikage's death. According to Karein Celestine, Shuri and Mikage were childhood playmates. Shuri said he doesn't understand why he is in low spirits, and Teito's view is that Shuri likes Mikage too. (manga chapter 76)
Kokuyou Celestine: Shuri says "ただいま” (a greeting one says to one's family (usually) when one returns home, literal meaning being "Hello, I'm back") to Kokuyou when he returns home. Kokuyou smiles at and is very polite to Shuri, giving him compliments to which Shuri once replied "I'm always splendid!" like a child, (manga chapter 75), so it seems that they have a good relationship.
Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg: As the representative of the God House of District 2, Shuri Oak is one of the wooers of Ouka. (manga chapter 80) However, Shuri says he does not want to be the husband of the empress-to-be at all.
Abilities and Attributes.
When he appears on the Black Hawks' ship, Shuri has a large sabre at his belt (the fact that it looks relatively large can be due to the fact that Shuri is not tall). His ability with using a sword in real battles is questionable.
Zaiphon.
Because he was in the Military Academy, and shown taking the graduation exam, Shuri can be established as a Zaiphon user, despite not being seen using a Zaiphon in the series so far. Shuri was said to have scored high marks on the simulations, showing that he has some skill with handling his Zaiphon.
History.
Childhood.
Shuri was born on 3 February to Wakaba Oak and a woman who has never appeared in the series, but it is likely that Shuri's mother comes from a prestigious family too, as Hakuren’s father has said that it is important for a male member of the Oaks to find a good (presumably family background also considered) marriage partner.
Shuri is the one who decides the guests to be invited to Wakaba's funeral (manga chapter 75), and in a mini-drama he said that he is the next head of his family.
Years in the academy.
When in the academy, Shuri Oak routinely verbally bullied Teito and Mikage probably because he protects Teito. One incident (appeared only in the manga) involved him telling Mikage to clean his shoe, and when Mikage refused and walked away with Teito, Shuri provoked him by saying, "the so-called 'servants' are my family's slaves. Slaves flock with slaves, I see", which resulted in Teito punching him in the face.
Manga synopsis.
Pre-begleiter exam.
Shuri first appears as a student in the Barsburg Military Academy, where he is president of the class, being shown giving a patriotic speech before the other students as well as the higher-ranking officers.
He next appears in a lecture hall where Teito and Mikage are among his classmates. Shuri is shown taking pride in his ability, with his friends praising him, saying that they think he will certainly pass the graduation exam. His friends flatter him by saying that the military has come to recruit him specifically. After hearing Teito explain that he has an exemption from practical lessons, Shuri mocks Teito on being 'Chairman Miroku's favorite pet' for the special treatment he receives. However, he is then promptly humiliated in front of his classmates and his teacher by Mikage who uses his Zaiphon to make the porn that was under Mikage's desk appear in Shuri's hand, making it look as if Shuri has been reading porn during class.
During the Begleiter exam.
Shuri's next appearance is in a waiting room, ready to take the Begleiter exam, where he notices that he is on team A, the same team as Teito. He expresses disbelief that he is on the same team as a sklave, and he and Mikage exchange banter till they are called into the arena to take their final exam. Once they are in, one of the teachers explains that their final exam is to kill the criminal, saying that if they abandon their allies or fail to kill the criminal then they will fail the exam. Shuri attempts to put on a confident front, eager to be the best candidate, but he doesn't know how to react after he realizes the criminal is much stronger than they are, and sees the criminal send his friends flying. He panics and frantically begins to bang on the glass, screaming to the examiners for help. This behavior leaves the examiners unimpressed, Ayanami commenting 'how unsightly', which apparently ruins his chances of passing the exam and graduating.
The criminal sees him in his state of distraction and attacks him. However Shuri is saved by Teito, who elbows him out of the way.
Due to his failure to kill the criminal and his abandon of his team mates, he should have failed the exam, but the manga shows that because his father is a high-ranking officer and is respected in the Barsburg Empire, he is able to graduate.
Antwort War.
Shuri appears again on Ayanami's Ribidzile, having earlier been brought aboard by Hyuuga on Wakaba Oak's orders, where he immediately annoys those on board by complaining this ship is "smaller than Papa's" but is "suitable". He approaches Ayanami and introduces himself as his (Ayanami's) begleiter, a fact unknown to Ayanami himself. When Hyuuga questions him, Shuri replies that his father had told him he was Ayanami's beglieter. When Ayanami demands to know who brought the "garbage" on board, Shuri too demands to know- unaware that the 'garbage' is him.
The fleet of seven ships, is spotted by Antwort soldiers approaching the country. The soldiers do nothing, confident that their anti-battleship shield will block any attack and deter them. Ayanami then conjures up an enormous Zaiphon, and fires it at the shield- destroying it in a single blow. Despite the country having advanced defences, they have no means to defend themselves against a Warsfeil. Antwort forces begin to panic- quickly realising they are no longer fighting normal humans, and they fire their cannons at the approaching ships. The attacks do not make contact, as they are blocked by a Zaiphon shield surrounding the enemy Ribidziles.
Shuri is sitting comfortably when Ayanami addresses him; telling him that his (Ayanami's) begleiters are expected to be able to fight on the front line. Shuri is confused but Hyuuga then grabs Shuri by the collar of his coat and hangs him out of the Ribidzile and Shuri begins to panic. Hyuuga, pleased with the location, then drops him (Shuri) in the centre of the Eastern Antwort camp.
He survives the fall, but is mistaken by Antwort's men as the fleet's only front-liner, and they fire at him in panic. Shuri begins to scream and cry, and almost meets his death via Antwort's arsenal, but Konatsu Warren leaps after him and cuts the cannons that are aiming at Shuri in half. Konatsu states that he was only doing it so as to avoid getting his lieutenant Hyuuga's reputation damaged.
Shuri sits in the snow and can only watch as Konatsu slaughters oncoming guards, splashing Shuri with their blood.
Once the battle has ended, Shuri kicks a dead body that lies on the floor- prompting Konatsu to slap him and tells him not to "mock the dead". Shuri begins to panic- saying he has never seen a dead body before. He cries on Konatsu.
Return from Antwort.
Shuri waits with the rest of the Black Hawks as his father is in a meeting with Ayanami. When Wakaba arrives, a tearful Shuri runs into his arms and is comforted by him. Just as his father talks with Ayanami about Shuri being his begleiter, Shuri interrupts him to introduce Konatsu Warren, the soldier that had saved him during the Antwort War.
Shuri expresses his admiration for Konatsu and vows to be like him. Wakaba, seeing how attached Shuri has become to Konatsu, places Shuri under Konatsu's care.
The Black Hawks later return to their office, where Shuri loudly bemoans the fact that he does not have a private office and that he has to do paperwork, suggesting that someone call a servant to do it for him.
He is last seen at Princess Ouka's Groom Choosing ball, where he was the representative of District 2, a task which he complained about as he did not want to be Ouka's husband. Teito talked to him for a while, then left. What happened to Shuri after the ball is unknown, apart from the fact that he probably eventually became Head of the Oak family.

The Sky Pirate Subjugation was the large scale annihilation of the Sky Pirates in Barsburg's bid to control the skies.
History leading up to conflict.
In a manga chapter, Bastien said that the Sky Pirate Subjugation took place towards the end of the Raggs War.
Aftermath.
It has been hinted that most, if not all, of Frau's childhood friends died as a result of the Sky Pirate Subjugation.

fandom.07ghost | # Sky Pirates
The Sky Pirates (also known as Air Pirates) are skilled pilots who are considered to 'control' or 'rule' the skies. Before and during the Raggs War, they were led by Guido.
History.
This is the law that is upheld among Sky Pirates and it is their way of life in Eden. According to Guido, the Air Pirates only target illegal freight ships that sail below the clouds and give impoverished lands the goods the Air Pirates stole from them. According to one of the Sky Pirates, they only obey the rules of the strongest man in the island, who is the fastest among the Sky Pirates. Magdalen indicated that the Sky Pirates have their own way of setting things and that by leaving them alone, they won't cause any trouble.
It is implied that all of them either died or disappeared during the Sky Pirate Subjugation. The side chapter SPEEDSTER seemed to indicate that the Sky Pirates are all male, but later in the series, Guido was shown talking to Magdalen onboard his airship Aegis, in a flashback of Frau's past. This hints that it is possible for a woman to join the crew and, though not confirmed, that female Sky Pirates do/did exist.

fandom.07ghost | # Slave
A slave is someone who is treated as property and forced to work. Slaves are often held against their will, and can be bought and sold across Districts.
Practice of slavery.
Slavery is considered legal across the Barsburg Empire, with the slave trade being a highly profitable business. Both males and females can be sold into slavery. It is most common amongst the nobility of any District, who use slaves of different species- such as Trolls and Noel Mermaids. as well as humans, as trophies and pets.
In the series, slaves are used for a number of purposes, including domestic work, as pets and the most common form being battle slaves and child soldiers, who are used to fight. Slaves are required to wear chains until they are bought.
Slave traders.
Slave traders are highly respected by the Barsburg Armed Forces, and are usually able to travel throughout the Districts without inspection or identification papers for their slaves.
Many of them are very wealthy.
Slaves.
The rarer the features a slave possesses (eye colour, hair colour, beauty etc.) the higher the price the slave will fetch. Some slaves can cost up to 50 million yuus (Barsburg currency).
It appears that the slaves that resemble nobility the most (e.g. fair skin, blonde hair, and light green eyes) are the most expensive. Disguising a slave's appearance (via hair dye or other similar cosmetics) to increase the slave's price is illegal.
Identification.
Slaves are marked with a slave brand on their lower back. The scar left from it will last for life and is used to mark them as 'less than human'. It can also be used to identify a slave that has escaped.
The process of marking a slave with a slave brand is very painful for the slave.
Characters who have been slaves.
Slavery is a recurring, prominent theme throughout the series and as such, some of the characters' pasts are centered on slavery. Teito Klein and Capella are just two examples of slaves in 07-Ghost.
Treatment.
Slaves, particularly battle slaves, are treated brutally. Throughout the Barsburg Empire it is legal to beat slaves unconscious- even with weapons, and deprive them of food. It is not considered a crime or a loss to kill a slave because they are at the bottom of the social hierarchy.
Battle slaves are trained from a young age to kill the military use them as a human weapon. Their reactions are tested by having to destroy a group of fast-moving orbs, and 'real combat' training is fighting and killing condemned prisoners. Their Zaiphon is also tested. They are given a four-digit number as opposed to a name.
They normally wear a dark, tight jumpsuit, and no armour. They also wear Restraints, and a metal 'strap' across their chest where a leash can be attached.
The Imperial Army uses them to execute prisoners, and the Barsburg royal family forces them to fight each other in coliseums, or collects their body parts.
Un-bought slaves are prevented from entering privately owned buildings.This is because they would 'bother the other customers'. They can be identified by the chains around their wrists that can only freed by bought them.
Payment.
They are paid by treatment, and do not receive any money (Teito did not know what yuus are when he first saw Frau using the currency while they were in Ria).
History.
Although slaves may have been common before the fall of the Raggs Kingdom, after the Raggs War, there was a huge surge in slave numbers as many of those not killed during the war were enslaved by Barsburg. As of the last manga chapter, a comment made by Carl seems to indicate that after the two-year timeskip, slavery in the Empire is on the wane.

fandom.07ghost | # Soul
A Soul is the incorporeal and immortal essence of something, animate or inanimate. It is made of mana, a supernatural force believed to occupy all aspects of the universe.
In a person, a soul is a manifestation of their personality, psyche and abilities. People with special types of soul, thought to have been "blessed by God", can convert their mana into a tangible energy.
Form.
A soul appears as a small ball of light. Different people's souls are different colours, and a soul is distinguishable by its colour. A soul is also distinguishable by its number.
Types of Souls.
Pure.
In the 07-Ghost universe, someone who possesses a pure soul is considered to be good. Pure souls are rare and widely sought after by beings of darkness as they are more "delicious" than tainted souls. Pure souls are capable of many things: such as being able to comfort people with their presence; eradicate darkness from the souls of those around them; and recognize when something has been infected with negative feelings.
Pure souls are also more sensitive to darkness than other people.
A pure soul usually shines with a bright light. The more pure the soul, the brighter it shines.
Tainted.
Tainted souls are commonly found amongst Warsfeil and Wars; the servants of the shinigami Verloren. A tainted soul has a 'disgusting' taste, and causes nausea to those who devour it that 'even smoking' cannot remove.
Trapped.
As shown in the case of Lady Marie, some souls may be trapped and prevented from returning to Heaven. However, Verloren's Scythe can set these souls free.

fandom.07ghost | # Spiritual Voice
The Spiritual Voice is a mysterious entity that spoke to Teito Klein when Verloren left the human world, and also when Mikage Celestine boarded a special bus that took him to the afterlife in Supreme Sugar 03. The identity of the voice's owner is unknown; however, the Chief of Heaven may be the owner, though this is unconfirmed.
Personality.
It is very dedicated to its job and has little sympathy for humans, demonstrated when it curtly told Teito that he had no right to interfere with its retrieval of Verloren's Soul and sternly warned Teito not to board Mikage's bus.

fandom.07ghost | # Spirituality in the World of 07-Ghost
Distinctive beliefs.
Concept of God.
The primary religion within the world of O7-Ghost is a polytheistic one, meaning the people believe in multiple deities, even though many of its elements are based on real-world Christianity. While the Chief of Heaven is the only deity addressed as "God", the minor and secondary deities are still openly acknowledged as gods ("kami") in their own rights.
Hierarchy.
The followers subscribe to the belief of a hierarchy of deities, where one God (i.e. the Chief of Heaven) has power over the other deities.
The creator deity, the Chief of Heaven, is the closest thing to the one God found in the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Judaism and Islam) and he is responsible for the creation of the other gods, such as the death deity, Verloren.
Abilities and Attributes.
The gods of the 07-Ghost universe are immortal (regardless of their true ages, they maintain a youthful appearance) for example, Mikhail's true form has a youthful appearance despite being at least 1000 years old.
The gods also have a higher/stronger resistance to things that would be physically and/or spiritually harmful to regular humans, such as the Seven Ghosts' vessels having a higher tolerance to low temperatures than ordinary humans, as their hearts do not beat and their bodies do not give off heat, and can hold cursed objects like an unsealed Warsfeil Dagger without experiencing any adverse effects. As shown with Frau, the Ghosts can also sleep in coffins with no oxygen available to them.
It is possible that some of the gods do not need dietary sustenance, as Verloren, Eve and the Chief of Heaven have never been seen eating or drinking. Verloren's current vessel, Ayanami, can also survive and remain healthy despite often skipping meals. However, the Seven Ghosts and Mikhail are known to consume human food, although it's unknown if they truly need to eat and drink like ordinary humans, or only do it for the sake of enjoyment. Mikhail and Raphael certainly seem able to go for very long periods of time without food and drink.
The human vessels of the Seven Ghosts, Mikhail and Raphael are all blessed with strong Zaiphon, and the hosts of the Eyes of Mikhail and Raphael can use the Eyes to cause massive explosions, form craters in the ground, level forests, and kill multiple people simultaneously. Vessels of the Ghosts and the Archangels are also capable of attacking and killing so quickly that their victims have no time to react.
Verloren's followers, Warsfeil, who pledge half of their souls to him, also possess greater physical resilience and regenerative abilities than ordinary humans, as shown when Hyuuga survived an attack during the Raggs War and said that it would have killed him if he wasn't a Warsfeil.
Naturally, all the gods of the 07-Ghost universe can speak the language of the gods.
Weaknesses.
The gods of the 07-Ghost universe are as vulnerable to strong emotions that can cloud their judgment as humans are, as shown by the negative impact of Eve's death on Verloren's personality and sanity. Also, they can be killed, as shown in Eve's case, or banished from Heaven if it's the Chief's will. A death god will die if he is cut by his own scythe. The Chief of Heaven is also capable of killing gods as he is the creator of all gods, as he intended to do so with Verloren after deeming him too dangerous.
Without vessels, they cannot interact with the mortal world, forcing them to bind themselves to humans and human families.
Personality.
Despite being considerably more powerful than humans, the gods of the 07-Ghost universe are similar to humans with regards to the variety of personalities they can have. Their personalities can range from optimistic and outgoing (Eve), to pessimistic and morbid (Verloren), to aggressive and hotheaded (Zehel and Mikhail), to sarcastic yet compassionate (Chief of Heaven), to sensitive yet ruthless (Raphael).
Practices.
Rituals.
In the world of 07-Ghost, believers stand before the statues of the Seven Ghosts in the Barsburg Church and pray to the statues. An example has been seen, when it was shown that people pray to the statue of Fest for love, or that their love will never falter. Festivals are also held to honor the Seven Ghosts.
In the Barsburg Church, similar to the Catholic church, Mass is held, and attended by members of the clergy and the common folk alike.
There is a statue of Mikhail in the Church (citation needed), suggesting that there is a chance he is also worshipped, like the Seven Ghosts, and in a similar manner.
Scriptures.
"Main article: Barsburg Bible "
The Barsburg Bible is the holy book of the nameless and only religion of the world of 07-Ghost, and consists of 77 volumes which contain 7700 scriptures. In the Bishop's Apprentice Exam, candidates are required to memories the scriptures, 100 of which are chosen at random for the written portion of the exam.
History.
There has been no clue in series as to when, and by whom the religion was founded, but the Chief of Heaven is widely regarded to be the first of the Gods created.
The Chief of Heaven then had a daughter, Eve, though the circumstances surrounding this are unknown.
The Creation of Verloren.
Verloren is a Shinigami (a death God), and was created by the Chief of Heaven to preside over souls.
Verloren's purpose was to sort the souls entering Heaven; allowing the pure souls to enter Heaven, but punishing the 'bad' souls by devouring them. Devouring the soul was a process that involved either sending the soul back down to earth to be reincarnated in a different body with no memories of their previous life, or sending them to purgatory. The worst souls which are irredeemable even by Verloren would be destroyed.
The Creation of the Ghosts.
The Seven Ghosts are amongst the earliest 'gods' created by the Chief of heaven and their existence dates back roughly 1000 years. At the time of their creation, humanity was already present.
The legend of the ghosts tells that Verloren (the God of Death) was in love with the Chief of Heaven's daughter, Eve, but after her skeleton was found and her soul devoured, the Chief of Heaven accused Verloren of killing her. As Eve's soul being devoured automatically forced it to be sent to earth and reincarnated, Verloren escaped the heavens and fled to earth to find her reincarnation.
Verloren began looking into the hearts of humans in order to find the soul that originally belonged to Eve. However as he looked, that person's heart was instantly tainted by his presence, and slowly slipped into despair. This meant those souls could not enter Heaven in this life because they were no longer pure, and they would be forced to reincarnate again once they died.
When the Chief of Heaven noticed the consequences Verloren's actions had on those souls he looked into, he fashioned seven heavenly lights out of Verloren's fragments, each with one of Verloren's powers, and sent them to execute him.
Schedel's Crusade.
The ghosts drove Verloren to Seele, but were unable to destroy him. Faced with this, they instead used the powers of the two angel eyes (Mikhail and Raphael) to tear Verloren's soul from his body, in the hope that they never join again so he could never be at his full power.
They sealed his physical body in Pandora's Box on earth, and used the Eye of Mikhail to make sure it could not escape from its prison. They sealed his soul using the Eye of Raphael, putting his soul in a human- and forcing it to undergo a process of constant reincarnation whenever the human body died- regardless of how the person had lived their life- so it could never enter Heaven again.
Once the threat of Verloren was eliminated, the Seven Ghosts did not return to heaven; instead staying in the mortal world to serve as guardians.
After Sealing Verloren.
Now on earth, each Ghost assumed human form and went onto live human lives; they married humans, had children and died as humans. The Seven Ghosts and their human families went on to form the Seven Houses of God, and the Ghost's powers were passed onto their children, and further generations.
The current ghosts are the descendants of the original seven.
During the Raggs War and Return of Verloren.
Around 990 years after Verloren had been sealed, the Eye of Raphael malfunctioned- resulting in Verloren's soul awakening (the human who was currently holding Verloren's soul regained all of Verloren's memories) and continued with Verloren's crusade against the Chief of Heaven.
The descendants of the ghosts that first fought Verloren were again forced to re-group and fight.
Currently, very little is known about the Ghosts' roles in the Raggs War.
A member of the Raggs family (the God house of Vertrag) and person acting as the Ghost Vertrag, Fea Kreuz, was accused of stealing and escaping with Pandora's Box, and it was this theft that sparked the Raggs War. Pandora's Box had been moved into a human - meaning Verloren's body was at a risk of escaping if the human's soul is devoured by Verloren - so four Ghosts protected and guided Vertrag through the Seven God Houses in order to receive the cursed tickets and travel to the Land of Seele to destroy Verloren's body.
This, coupled with the fact Verloren's soul had awakened, caused Ea and Landkarte to separate from the others and go undercover into the military.
However, the Ghosts were not successful in their mission, and it resulted in the death of one Ghost, Vertrag, whose reincarnation (Fea Kreuz) was killed by Ayanami and devoured by Verloren.
The remaining six, however, escaped with their lives.
It was later hinted by Ea that Landkarte may have betrayed his duty. In Kapitel 88, it was shown that Landkarte wanted to erase both love and hate from the world, and fill the world with darkness.
Modern History.
Even though Verloren had been sealed away for 1000 years, the Kor, his messengers made up of the souls that were tainted by his presence, continue to find and contact humans, and try to taint their souls by bringing them under his influence.
Around a decade after the Raggs War, Ayanami killed Lance and devoured him.
Later, Ayanami captured Frau (Zehel), Labrador (Profe) and Castor (Fest). He tried to devour Fest first, but spat him out shortly afterwards, because Verloren's present vessel (Ayanami) has reached its limit and cannot devour any more Ghosts after he devoured Lance.
Relation to Real-World Religions.
Most of the mythology in the series appears to be based heavily on the Catholic religion, with the Kor tempting people to 'sell their souls' in a similar way to how the devil is believed to do, Eve being the daughter of the Chief of Heaven, Verloren sharing some similarities with Lucifer, and medieval folklore, particularly from Germany, as many of the names of the Gods and other creatures are derived from German words, such as the word Vertrag (contract), Landkarte (map), Fest (tightly, fixed), Verloren (lost, goner), Mikhail, Raphael, Kor. Although there are many similarities between Catholicism and the mythology in the series, the mythology does not use the same deities.
Other Spirits in the Series.
Apart from the gods and the Kor, within the 07-Ghost series, there also exist other spiritual beings such as ghosts (see Marie and Graveyard Dog) and the Guardians of the Bridge of Trials. These minor spiritual entities remain in the human world for various reasons, such as fulfilling a specific purpose or because they have been trapped in the human world by someone they knew when they were alive. Heaven also contains some other spiritual beings about whom not much is known, such as Heavenly Birds, the Chief of Heaven's advisors, some animals that Eve mentioned, andVerloren's prison guards. In a manga extra, when Teito tried to board a special bus that took Mikage to the afterlife, a voice told him not to board , and it seems that the same voice spoke to Teito when Verloren left the human world . The source of the voice is unknown, but it is definitely of spiritual origin.
Other Forms of Spirituality.
Fortune-telling is practiced in-universe, in the form of horoscopes and street side consultations. As shown in Katsuragi's backstory, humans are sometimes worshipped as gods and sacrificed in order to appease malevolent forces of nature. Certain items, such as a special type of vase seen in the side chapter Hyuuga vs Konatsu, are thought to bring good fortune. Archangels' names may be invoked in spells. Labrador's Uncle successfully managed to build a cult that worshipped the powers of a special incense made by himself.
Sometimes the humans in the series call each other "gods" to express gratitude and affection. For example, Rutia once called Teito and Frau her gods, and Frau thinks of Guido as his god.

fandom.07ghost | # Suzunami
Suzunami is a minor character in the 07-Ghost manga series, not having been introduced in the anime series so far. He is a battle sklave from Antwort who, along with his twin brother Yukinami, was freed by the Black Hawks during the Antwort War. Suzunami later joins the Black Hawks after taking a liking to Ayanami. He is only able to speak Raggs, meaning many are unable to understand him. Suzunami appears to be the older twin, and is distinguished by his dark coloured hair.
Etymology.
Suzunami, translated to "breaking waves" was the name of a Yūgumo-class destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
Alternatively, Suzunami can be split into Suzu and Nami. Suzu is a Japanese name. As a girl's name, it means 'bell'. As a boy's name, it means 'long-lived' or 'crane'. Nami means 'wave'.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Suzunami appears as a young boy believed to be around the age of 17. Though his official height is unknown, Suzunami appears to be of average height, as he was shown to be around two heads smaller than Hyuuga, putting him roughly at five foot six inches. Due to his slim build and androgynous features, he is often mistaken for a girl.
Suzunami has a round face with fair skin, large, light-coloured eyes, a small nose, and a large mouth, and is distinguished from his brother by his dark hair, which is cut neck-length, straight, with a fringe and longer bangs to frame his face. Suzunami can be considered cute in the series universe, as an omake from "Supreme Sugar 01 "shows that quite a few girls like him.
Clothing.
When first introduced, Suzunami wears a long, ankle-length overcoat with square buttons on the chest, and fur around the neck-guard and sleeve cuffs. He also wears woolly glooves and knee-length boots. He also wore a slave collar.
After they join the Black Hawks, Suzunami wears the military uniform normally worn by cadets, consisting of a black, or dark blue, ankle-length overcoat with golden trimmings on the chest, sleeve cuffs and neck-guard. He wears black trousers, knee-length, black, buckled boots and white gloves, similar to the other Black Hawks, as well as a white shirt underneath the overcoat. His uniform has a small half mantle hanging off his left shoulder emblazoned with the Barsburg military insignia and a golden shoulder board on his right.
While pursuing Teito, he wears a knee-length, light-coloured cloak with a hood, and a short, furry scarf.
Personality.
Suzunami's personality is drastically different from his brother's. He is bold, loud and impulsive. Suzunami has a tendency towards outbursts, and says what's on his mind much to the ire of his younger brother, being couragous and not afraid to talk to anyone. He is very energetic and enjoys the thrill of fighting, as he is always seen smiling during battle, and rushes around a lot.
Suzunami shows a creative side, making a paper aeroplane and carving a tulip stamp himself.
Suzunami is shown to be power-driven, taking a liking to people who have it, and always wanting to gain more of it himself.
Relationships.
Superiors.
Ayanami.
Ayanami was one of the reasons why Suzunami wanted to join the Black Hawks, because he had heard about the Black Hawks and their leader, liked how powerful Ayanami was, and wanted to know the secret of his strength.
In the omake Begleiter, Suzunami also appears to be jealous of Ayanami, as he feels Yukinami admires Ayanami more than him, going far enough to sabotage Yukinami's notebook, replacing the photos his brother has of Ayanami with photos of himself.
Hyuuga.
They get along well, possibly because of Hyuuga's strength and they are both outgoing. Suzunami appears to like Hyuuga a lot, as he is frequently shown talking to Hyuuga in an exited manner (such as during the Antwort War and when he crafted his own stamp) despite knowing Hyuuga is unable to understand him, as Hyuuga cannot speak the language of Raggs.
They share an interest in art.
King Antwort.
Suzunami was not sad when Ayanami told him and Yukinami that King Antwort was dead, indicating that he may have disliked or felt indifferent towards his former king.
Family.
Yukinami.
Suzunami is very close to his younger twin brother and very protective of him. They also know each other's moves in battles very well and can understand each other's thoughts by just looking at each other, as if there is telepathy.
Suzunami has a tendency to become easily jealous when Yukinami is given attention by other people, shown in an omake when he thinks Yukinami's admirers are annoying and tries to get rid of them by burning all the love letters addressed to his younger brother. Suzunami is also very jealous that his younger brother idolises Ayanami, and he finds Yukinami's notebook, gets rid of the photos of Ayanami in there, and replaces them with photos of himself.
Others.
Teito Klein.
Suzunami got along well with Teito in the brief time they spent together. However, it seems that he may care somewhat less for Teito than Yukinami, as during the Hawkzile race, Yukinami hesitated to attack Teito while Suzunami showed no signs of hesitation.
Barm and Moz.
Suzunami, along with Yukinami, is briefly seen in manga chapter 93 with Barm and Moz, and the four are seen staring in shock at the destruction of Hohburg Fortress caused by Verloren's rveival.
Abilities and Attributes.
Suzunami was shown to be very skilled with a sword as well as very quick and agile. He managed to evade Hyuuga for up to a minute, which puts him on par with Teito in terms of strength, according to Hyuuga.
Manga synopsis.
Antwort War.
Suzunami is first introduced as one of King Antwort's combat slaves during the Antwort War. As Hyuuga is searching the King's palace, he is confronted by Suzunami and Yukinami, who warn him that he cannot pass them. The pair than smash the two pillars at each side of them, and while Hyuuga is distracted by trying to dodge them, they catch him by surprise and hold him at swordpoint. Though they present Hyuuga with a challenge, they are unable to best him- and his is able to catch and handcuff them in a minute.
Suzunami and his brother are then brought to the invading army's Chief of Staff, Ayanami where Hyuuga suggests he let them become Barsburg soldiers because of their strength. Ayanami instead opens the twins' handcuffs and sets them free; telling them they can now go anywhere they want to as the King they serve is now dead.
Once released, Suzunami immediately recognises Hyuuga and Ayanami as Black Hawks and expresses a desire to join the Black Hawks as he admires their strength. Yukinami desperately tries to stop his outburst- but Suzu carries on, and Hyuuga, unable to understand what he is saying to him, smiles and pats him on the head. Ayanami, able to speak the language of Raggs, tells him and Yukinami that they can join if they want to. Suzunami agrees and continues to talk to Hyuuga. The two sklaves follow the Black Hawks to Barsburg.
Return from Antwort.
Suzunami and his brother wait with the rest of the Black Hawks as Ayanami is in a meeting with Wakaba Oak. When the two (Wakaba and Ayanami) arrive, a tearful Shuri Oak runs into his father's arms and is comforted by him.
Suzu and his brother immediately walk up to Ayanami and stand closely behind him, and this causes Wakaba to mistakenly believe they are his begleiters. Wakaba expresses pity Shuri cannot be Ayanami's begleiter, and places Shuri under the care of Konatsu Warren.
The Black Hawks later return to their office. Konatsu instructs the twins on what to do with their paperwork, but due to the language barrier Suzunami misinterprets the instruction and instead of using the unit staff seal, he uses his own hand-made tulip seal to stamp the documents. Konatsu begins to panic and search for the staff seal, but Hyuuga is impressed with Suzunami and begins using the stamp himself.
Title.
After Teito Klein and Frau had escaped through the Mountain Road, Ayanami sends him and his brother after them. They are later seen in the city of Baltos, watching Teito and Frau rush to safety after Ayanami sent a one-winged Kor after them. It is possible, they were the ones who informed Ayanami of Teito's whereabouts.
Suzunami and his brother are later seen on board a ship being driven by Teito and Frau. It is later shown that they were on board because they were both given military passes by Ayanami, which allowed them access to most rooms in Hohburg Fortress, but were stopped by guards at one of the gates who did not believe that children like them could be in possession of such passes. They befriend Teito and are saddened when they must leave him, but despite this, they express that they will fight him (Teito) if Ayanami asks them to.
During the Hawkzile Race, Suzunami and Yukinami fight Teito, but Yukinami is unwilling to do so, causing Suzunami to chide him. Suzunami then briefly reappears in manga chapter 93, where he and Yukinami are seen with Barm and Moz in District 24. The four males observe the destruction of Hohburg Fortress, visible from afar.
The twins are last seen at an airport in the Empire, hinting that they may have left the Black Hawks.

fandom.07ghost | # Tajio
Tajio is a minor character who only appears in the seventh episode of the 07 Ghost anime series. He does not appear in the manga. Tajio first appears when Teito and Mikage meet him during the Church's annual bazaar, where his father is possessed by a Kor.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Tajio is a young boy around the ages of 10-12, and his height is estimated to be 150 cm, as he is about a foot shorter than Mikage. His weight is unknown but he has a thin build. Tajio's face is round with a small mouth and nose and large, olive green eyes that slant inwards. His hair reaches his mid-back, is a dark maroon/red in colour, and is very messy. His skin is a darkish beige colour. Apart from his skin tone and hair, Tajio does not bear a significant resemblance to his father. According to Mikage, he wears the same angry expression Teito did while at the academy.
Clothing.
He wore a long, green turtleneck tied with a black belt, over a pair of light brown trousers. He also wore a long shawl the same colour as his trousers over his shoulders.
Personality.
Tajio initially appeared to lack proper morals as he stole to get food and saw no problem with this. However, aside from stealing, he was shown to be quite noble, as when he believed Athena was being attacked, he tried to defend her. Due to the fact that he has no mother and his father is not around, Tajio is very independent and unwilling to accept help from others. Mikage said that Tajio reminded him of Teito. Like most children in the series, he is shown to be excitable and easily frightened.
History.
Tajio appeared to have lived in the Church for some time. His mother is dead, how long ago and the cause is unknown, and his father is often working, meaning that he is around Tajio little. The family is very poor and Tajio mostly relies on stealing to get food.
Relationships.
Tajio's Father.
Tajio and his father are likely each other's only remaining relatives and as a result, they are very close.
Anime Synopsis.
Tajio is first spotted by Mikage, who calls out to him but scares him away. He is later seen stealing from a baker, who chases him down the street. Tajio drops the bread while running, but Frau trips the man chasing him, and Tajio gets away. The bread is taken by Mikage and Teito, and later given to Tajio, Mikage scolding him for stealing. While eating, Tajio accidentally swallows too much, and is forced to rush to the water fountain, where he then overhears the play sisters Rosalie, Athena and Libelle are acting out. Seeing Libelle brandishing a knife, he jumps to defend Athena, when he is spotted by Mikage and Teito and carried away.
Tajio is later reunited with his father, who takes him away but raises Teito and Mikage's suspicions so they follow them both. His father is later revealed to have been possessed by a Kor, and he attacks Teito and Mikage. The Eye of Mikhail activates and saves Teito and Tajio from what would have been a fatal blow. Frau then appears and purifies Tajio's father's soul. Tajio later leaves with his father, and has not been seen again since.

fandom.07ghost | # Tavern
The Tavern is a place of business where travellers come to receive alcoholic beverages and food. It is one of the places which Teito Klein, Frau and Capella made their temporary home whilst on their journey to District 5.
It is owned by a woman known as Madame, and located near the centre of the city of Baltos, just outside the town square. The tavern appears to put on shows for the people, or assist with the dances at festivals, as seen by the presence of a costume room.
Workforce.
Male hosts are required to wear the typical butler attire: consisting of a white, long sleeved shirt, black waistcoat and a black bow-tie, black trousers and a black apron. They wear white socks and black shoes. Their duties include preparing food and managing the bar.
Hostesses wear elaborate, colourful, flowing, and often revealing, gowns. Most serving girls wear their hair down, and some may wear flowers in their hair. Many of them are professional dancers, and when there is a festival- serving girls will go and dance with customers.
Overall, the tavern seems to be somewhat similar to Japanese host clubs.
Description.
The Tavern appears as how any other tavern would, being a large, spacey room made primarily of wood and stone. Towards the front is a bar table and behind this a shelf stacked with wine and beer.
The tables at the left side of the room are round, but square towards the right, and the chairs mostly wooden. There are also a few curved sofas. Towards the far left side of the room, there are a few pictures on the wall, as well as a staircase leading up to the costume room. It has at least two floors.
There is a large kitchen and a store room. The roof is accessible, and allows a good view of the Plaza before it.
Costume room: The costume room is a very large room located on the first floor of the tavern, where the dresses for the dancing girls are kept.
To the far end of the room, against the back wall, is a large bed with frilly bedsheets and pillowcases decorated with rose embroidery, and on the bed lie dozens of large plushies. The bed is cut off from the rest of the room by a large curtain. To the left of the room is a clothes rack where several costumes hang. In the centre of the room are two large arm chairs and a small coffee table between them. The walls and floor are plain in comparison.

fandom.07ghost | # Teito Klein
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Teito Klein, born Wahrheit Tiashe Raggs, is the main protagonist of the anime and manga series 07-Ghost.
He is first introduced as an amnesiac and a former battle slave who was captured by the Barsburg Empire and was considered to be the military academy's star pupil. It is later revealed that he is a prince of Raggs. Teito is also related to the Antwort Family through his father's union with Vanessa Antwort. Through his mother and maternal grandparents, he can claim descent from the Barsburg Family as well.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Teito is a young boy who is 15 years old. He is of small stature, standing at 156 cm tall, and is the second smallest recurring character. His face is round and childlike, with a small, upturned nose, and a small mouth with full lips. His round face and small stature make him appear younger than he is.
His eyes, which are commonly noted as being his most striking feature, are large, wide and a deep emerald green in colour, though they become a deep red when Mikhail is controlling him. His hair is brown, cropped short and parted down the middle. In some official art, his hair can be seen in different colours.
His build is slight and long-limbed, possibly due to his diet based mostly around pills, and his back is covered in scars from his days as a battle slave, as well as the standard slave brand. Teito is generally considered attractive within the series universe. Other characters are shown to think him feminine-looking.
Teito appears to bear a significant resemblance to both of his parents. On the whole, Teito looks like a younger version of his father, but his eyes and bangs resemble his mother's. Teito also greatly resembles his paternal grandmother (who appeared in a family portrait in Kapitel 90).
Clothing.
In his first appearance whilst still part of the Barsburg Army, he dons the basic uniform given to all trainee soldiers consisting of a black, or dark blue, thigh-length tunic with long sleeves and a neck-guard. He wears black trousers, knee-length back boots and white gloves, similar to the other military cadets. His uniform has golden trimming on the shoulders, chest, sleeve cuffs and neck-guard. He also wears a gold belt, as well as gold shoulder boards on his right shoulder and a small version of the Barsburg Military insignia over his left shoulder.
Subsequent to his escape from the Barsburg Empire, he takes refuge in the Barsburg Church where he is now seen wearing a white robe with the Church symbol on its back. He also has chains on his hands and feet until his fight with Ayanami.
After the death of Mikage Celestine, he wears the mourning black robe, which is parted white at the back with a flax trim and a mantle overtop; this is accompanied with black trousers and boots. On the cover page of manga chapter 21, he is seen wearing a plain, dark cap, a long-sleeved, light-coloured sweater, shorts, and dark, knee-length boots.
Teito's attire changes once more when he decides to take the Bishop's Apprentice Exam. We now see him in the basic uniform of a Bishop examinee, which consists of a long, white robe down to the ankles, having two slits, going from the bottom of the robe to the hips, at each side of the body, and long, white sleeves with large, dark blue sleeve cuffs. Down the back of the robe is a criss-cross stitching like that of a corset with dark blue thread. A small, white poncho (mid-back length) with a high collar and dark blue around the edges is worn over the robe, and he wears his exam badge at the front of his collar. He also wears dark blue trousers and knee-length brown boots.
A noticeable addition to his appearance is the promise collar that was placed around his neck by Mikage when he was being controlled by Ayanami. This collar is rarely seen now as it is usually covered by the collar of his mantles.
During his stay at the Hausen House, Teito dons the clothes of the former head of the House, Xinglu. He wears a light-coloured, Chinese-style jacket trimmed with black with long sleeves and tassels hanging from each side of his hip. He wears black trousers and knee-high, pale buccaneer boots. Seilan later gives him an ankle-length, black coat with a large neck-guard, and the mark of Fest embroidered on the chest.
When temporarily employed at Madame's Tavern, Teito wears a typical butler attire: consisting of a white, long
sleeved shirt, black waistcoat and a black bow-tie, black trousers and a black apron. He also wears white socks and black shoes.
After Teito is kidnapped by Ayanami and returns to the military, he once again dons a military uniform. Additionally, a second collar is put on him, with Ayanami as the master. If Teito is away from Ayanami for forty-eight hours, the collar will explode, killing Teito. Ayanami can use this collar to give Teito at least one command: sleep, which causes Teito to fall unconscious. The collar loudly declares when Teito is late for work. This collar has yet to be removed.
When undergoing experiments on the Eye of Mikhail, Teito wears a short, plain, thin, light-coloured nightgown.
On the cover page of Kapitel 96, he is shown wearing a layered, light blue shawl edged with white over a matching coat, plain light blue trousers and white boots.
Personality.
As a child, Teito was cheerful and light-hearted, being surrounded by caring servants and a loving family. Later, when the Raggs War broke out, his memories were erased and he was forced to work as a battle sklave, he became much more gloomy and pessimistic, maintaining an air of sadness due to the many turmoils in his life. In the past, Teito would occasionally suddenly break down in tears upon realizing he does not have a family, but over time, he got better at keeping his emotions in check.
He learned to deal with the bullying by ignoring the people around him. This, and his sparse show of emotion often made him out to be cold. It is also worth noting that during his childhood, he realized that tears will not get him anywhere, so he stopped showing his emotions. However, the other cadets at the academy mistook his apathy for a feeling of superiority because of Miroku's treatment, and this in turn lead to more cruel remarks aimed at Teito. Possibly as a result of the bullying, Teito has a hard time making friends and is often suspicious of the motives of those around him.
Despite his wariness around strangers, Teito is less guarded with those he likes, especially Mikage, and Chairman Miroku once said that Teito's compassion is his greatest 'weakness', despite all the hardships he has gone through. Teito's compassion extends to even his enemies, as he saved the life of Shuri Oak, who used to bully him, during the begleiter exam, and did not attack or harm the Black Hawks when he had a chance to. Other characters have noted his kindness and compassion: Frau has said that Teito's inability to ignore anyone who is suffering makes him kind, and that he is saved by that part of Teito. Hakuren has remarked that Teito is innocent, and once gently admonished Teito to worry more about himself. Ayanami has said that Teito is 'uncorrupted'.
During the Bishop exam, the many trials he overcomes reveal other abilities Teito possesses. One in particular is his high drive for success due to him feeling responsible for the deaths of the precious people in his life and striving to pay them back whatever the cost. Whenever Teito starts to feel weary, a simple thought of his loved ones will usually boost his determination to continue on, in turn rekindling Teito's usual vigor. He has been shown to be fearless. The final room in the bishop exam was a fight against Ayanami, where he had to overcome his darkness and acknowledge Mikhail's role within him. Teito has been shown to care deeply for, and is very loyal to, his friends.
Teito's personality in the anime is notably different to that of the manga. In the anime, he is much colder, and much less likely to smile at others. He is also much more self-involved, spending more time reflecting on his problems in the anime than in the manga. An example being when Mikage tells Teito his wish to protect his family, in the manga Teito smiles and looks pleased for Mikage, however, in the anime Teito becomes gloomy and thinks about his own family. In the anime, Teito is also much more aggressive, prone to violence, and likely to shout at other people. His hatred towards Ayanami is shown much more prominently and when they finally met in person, Teito repeatedly spoke words of defiance at him angrily and would attack him in blind rage whenever provoked. He also believes that Ayanami is a monster incapable of caring for anyone until he was shocked upon seeing Ayanami protect his allies. During the course of the manga, as his memories return and his understanding of his situation and other people deepen, he displays kindness more openly rather than a distant front and keeps his personality even when his memories are wiped again after being kidnapped by Ayanami.
In the manga, he has a feisty and somewhat hot-tempered personality, particularly where Frau and Karu are involved. Karu, the last reincarnation of Ea, comments upon Teito's courage when they first meet, while Teito is still a child (chapter 68). Teito is selfless, stubborn and often reluctant to ask for help when he needs it, as he doesn't want to burden others with his problems.
On the whole, his personality has been greatly influenced by his mentors, especially many of the older males in his life: Weldeschtein Krom Raggs, Fea Kreuz, Karu, and, most importantly, Frau, his bishop and mentor.
When reincarnated, he seems cheerful and light-hearted again, though his personality as an adult remains unknown.
Abilities and Attributes.
Zaiphon.
Teito's abilities stem from his aptitude to harness Zaiphon. With his Zaiphon he has displayed numerous abilities.
Attacking Zaiphon: At the academy, Teito displayed tremendous skill with a Zaiphon that went unchallenged by the other students. He eventually went on to graduate at the top of his class. Among being able to perform standard Zaiphon based attacks, he has demonstrated the ability to subdue his opponents at an early age, as shown when a criminal tried to kill him and other examinees as part of their Barsburg examination. His abilities in Zaiphon continued to grew as he trained further to become a Bishop. He has also shown the ability to create a shield that he uses to protect himself (or others) from external attacks, that is sturdy enough to defend himself from an attacker much more powerful than himself. Teito has displayed the ability to soar through the air using his zaiphon, but this has been seen in the anime only. In the anime, Teito has grown enough to earn Ayanami's interest, causing the leader of the Black Hawks to take him on personally, although he was no match for the far more experienced individual, when he was empowered by Mikage's emotions, he was able to make Ayanami fight with visible effort, although he still could not overpower him.
Baculus: Teito has also proven to have good skill with the Baculus as he is seen to be able to use it quite well when engaged in combat.
In one incident he accidentally breaks Frau's Baculus during a training session. He exceeded the Zaiphon limit for the Baculus when advised by Assistant Archbishop Bastien to try operating it whilst filling his heart with thoughts of Mikage.
Eye of Mikhail.
Teito possesses the Eye of Mikhail. Even if he loses the Eye of Mikhail (which was in the Barsburg Military's possession for a while), he can make a temporary connection with Mikhail whenever he calls Mikhail. He can also create a new seal when he says a spell taught by his father King Krom Raggs.
Hand-to-hand combat.
Teito is seen to be very agile with excellent balance, and is an excellent runner, stating that he was the fastest student in military school. Castor's training helps to further improve these abilities.
It is mentioned by both Hakuren and Seilan that Teito seemed to have no presence, perhaps from the training he had as a sklave. Despite his small size, Teito is also very strong and is shown to be an excellent hand-to-hand combatant. He's able to easily attack and subdue opponents larger than himself, and can easily stagger and the arm of a monster he has to fight for the military's graduation exam. However, while his skill is impressive, he relies on Zaiphon much more.
Beautiful Soul.
According to various characters in the series, Teito possesses a beautiful/clean soul despite his tragic past. According to Frau, Teito's light was able to purify Landkarte's darkness. Kal later tells Teito that this was what enabled Landkarte to help him realize his faults and save himself.
According to Kal in chapter 94, a section of Teito's soul (the source of his light) was sealed away along with Pandora's Box (Verloren's body). Kal hypothesizes that if Teito can escape Verloren's core, his light is powerful enough to purify even Verloren's darkness.
Teaching.
Teito has demonstrated some skill at teaching, as shown when he teaches Capella how to use Zaiphon. His teaching skills have been shown to be good enough to impress Frau.
Dancing.
Teito is a capable dancer, and managed well when he was tasked to practise dancing with Hakuren.

SPOLIERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Teito Klein, born Wahrheit Tiashe Raggs, is the main protagonist of the anime and manga series 07-Ghost.
He is first introduced as an amnesiac and a former battle slave who was captured by the Barsburg Empire and was considered to be the military academy's star pupil. It is later revealed that he is a prince of Raggs. Teito is also related to the Antwort Family through his father's union with Vanessa Antwort. Through his mother and maternal grandparents, he can claim descent from the Barsburg Family as well.
Childhood.
Wahrheit Tiashe Raggs was born on the 1st of December into the Raggs Family: the son of King Weldeschtein Krom Raggs and a young teacher named Millea Klein. Through his father, Teito is the grandson of the previous king and queen of Raggs. His mother is the daughter of a Barsburg concubine.
His uncle, Fea Kreuz, and both the Former Assistant Archbishops were present at his birth and blessed him. An only child, Teito was the sole heir to the imperial throne of the Raggs kingdom and a direct descendant of Vertrag, one of the revered Seven Ghosts.
However, his birth was kept a tightly guarded secret and was absent from the majority of official records, as the Queen of Raggs, Vanessa Antwort, was a woman of very violent temperament, and would have had the young Tiashe killed.
Early childhood.
As Teito's mother was a 'commoner', the marriage between her and Teito's father was not recognised as legally binding, thus King Weldeschtein later married Vanessa Antwort, the princess of Antwort, before Teito was 3 years old. The marriage was to ally the two kingdoms of Raggs and Antwort, and although Vanessa dearly loved Weldeschtein, he did not have the same feelings for her, so Millea was kept as a concubine. As Vanessa discovered Teito was the son of the woman whom Weldeschtein loved, it caused the new-found Raggs queen to despise him. Thus, Teito spent most of his childhood in the Barsburg Church, nurtured by his uncle Fea Kreuz: vessel for the ghost Vertrag.
Sometime before Teito turned 4, Millea became very ill- due to a poisoning by Landkarte- falling into a coma. Krom and his son would still visit her bedside every morning.
Vanessa's intervention.
While Vanessa Antwort was initially pleased with Millea Klein's illness, she came to realise Krom's love for his concubine will continue through his love for Teito Klein- who resembled her greatly. These feelings were further intensified by the King's announcement that Teito will be made the official heir to the Raggs Kingdom, (as Vanessa was unable to bear children thus produced no heirs) despite being an illegitimate child. Maddened and heartbroken by the fact her husband would never love her in the way he loved Millea, Vanessa sought to dispose of the young Prince so Krom's love for Millea would die with his son.
When Teito was left in the care of a Royal Attendant, Vanessa lured him away from his guardian by promising to help him find flowers for his father. She then took him to a dungeon and branded his back with a Sklave brand which would forever mark him as less than human. However, after doing so, she was overcome with fear and guilt- as discovery of her crime would likely result in her execution, and was thus easily manipulated by The Pope, who proposed they kill another child in Teito's place and the Prince's attendant be used as a scapegoat. This would save Vanessa's life, but in return Vanessa would give the Prince to the Pope. Vanessa agreed.
As Pandora's Box.
The Pope sought the power of knowledge, something that the God of Death, Verloren had been blessed with, so he attempted to bring about his revival. The Pope sealed Verloren's body within Teito by tricking the King of Raggs to change the container of Pandora's Box (the vessel that seals the body of Verloren), from a coffin to his son. The Raggs king was not aware of what the Pope had done, until Vanessa was unable to bear the secret and revealed the whereabouts of Teito, and the wishes of the Pope, to her husband. With this knowledge, the Pope's plan was foiled by Fea Kreuz, who escaped with Teito back to Raggs Castle. In order to make sure Teito's soul was not eaten by what was sealed in him (Verloren's body), the King made his son the vessel of the Eye of Mikhail, as the Eye seals his (Verloren's) body.
As soon as word had gotten out that Fea Kreuz had stolen Pandora's box (actually Teito) from the Pope, Barsburg (currently known as District 3) waged war on the Raggs Kingdom, thus starting the Raggs War.
The Raggs War.
In an effort to keep Pandora's box safe from Barsburg, Fea Kreuz vowed to escape with the child, to the Seven God houses, getting a Cursed Ticket from each one in order to enter the Land of Seele. After giving his brother a final goodbye, Kreuz erased Weldeschtein's memory so the Barsburg Imperial Army could not learn the whereabouts of Teito and the ghosts.
Teito, along with Kreuz, and the King's best bodyguards: Agas, Mark and Karan, escaped the District on foot, (as the mountains have a strong magnetic field that prevents Hawkzile travel) but their efforts were met with hostiliy, and they were pursued by several foot-soldiers, as well as Black Hawks member Hyuuga. Mark leaves the others to continue while he tries to stop the pursuing soldiers, but is killed by Hyuuga. Karan soon falls behind to try to stop the approaching Black Hawk, but is cut down too. Hyuuga then fires his Zaiphon, exposing the three remaining people, but the Eye of Raphael is activated on the area and causes the ground to collapse on itself. Agas catches Teito as he falls, then throws him to Kreuz, falling to his death in the process.
Hyuuga is slowed down by the blow, but not killed, and Kreuz and Teito take this opportunity to put more distance between them. They (Kreuz and Teito) are soon teleported away by the Ghost Landkarte. Kreuz prepares to fight, but the other Ghosts explain they are here to help.
Fea discloses that Pandora's Box had been sealed within Teito. The ghosts decide that Teito must travel to the Land of Seele in order to destroy Verloren's body and purify Teito.
However, at the end they are betrayed by Landkarte who slays all the other ghosts
The end of the Raggs War.
Although the details have not yet been revealed, it is known that Fea Kreuz did not survive the Raggs War with his nephew, Teito.
While waiting for Landkarte to return to take them to the God house, Teito witnessed his father, Weldeschtein, being killed by Ayanami through a projected screen. Kreuz was also slain by Ayanami, and his powers absorbed, but this was after he (Kreuz) used his powers to also erase Teito's memories.
Sometime after the war with Raggs ended, Teito Klein was found by Miroku Barsburg, most likely through the help of Raphael. Teito was taken in as a common Sklave.
Fea Kreuz's Clergy Pass had been recovered from Teito's person, convincing Miroku that Teito was hiding something. Ayanami searched Teito's memories for evidence of the Eye of Mikhail and Pandora's Box, but was unable to find anything as Kreuz had used his powers as Vertrag to seal Teito's memories.
Years spent in the new capital of Barsburg.
As a combat sklave.
Due to his memories being erased by his uncle, Teito originally knew nothing of his past other than he was a citizen of Raggs, currently known as District 1, until he was orphaned at age five during the Raggs War.
Fea Kreuz's Clergy Pass had been recovered from Teito's person, convincing Miroku Barsburg that Teito was hiding something. Teito then was taken as a prisoner of war and raised as Miroku's battle sklave for nine years. He was given a four-digit number for a name (2741), and his reflexes, strength and Zaiphon fighting ability were honed. It was his job to execute those condemned to death, and he faced abuse if he did not comply.
He lived his life under Chairman Miroku's roof under the protection of housemaid Kurena, and under the constant supervision of Miroku's begleiter Karu. Miroku's subordinates are the only people he ever spoke to, and Kurena, though mute, treated him with kindness, whereas Karu did not.
During the execution of a death row prisoner, Teito is disturbed by the prisoner's cries for his "mummy", and breaks down back at Miroku's home. He attempts to escape, but is stopped by Kurena, who blocks his entrance to the door. However, when she sees him cry, she moves out of the way, prompting Karu to tell Teito that Kurena will be killed if he escapes. Teito vows to free Kurena by joining the military, and Kurena bids him goodbye.
As a military student.
When Teito was fourteen he enroled in the Barsburg Military Academy, apparently gaining a full scholarship on Chairman Miroku's behalf, and was considered it's star pupil. Despite his handling of his Zaiphon that made him noticeable to the teachers there, he stood out to the pupils for all the wrong reasons. He was bullied because of his past as a sklave, and because of the preferential treatment he received from the Chairman, one of his most persistent hounders being Shuri Oak. Despite this, Teito struck up a friendship with Mikage.
Barsburg Church.
The Begleiter Exam.
At the start of the manga, Teito makes a promise with his best (and only) friend, Mikage, that they would die together. They both get ready for the final exam of the year, the Begleiter exam, which they need to pass if they wish to graduate and become begleiters. The exam is notoriously difficult, the candidates being required to kill a Troll. During the exam, Teito saves the life of a panic stricken Shuri Oak, his tormentor, and he (Teito) and Mikage restrain the Troll. Teito, refuses to kill the Troll though, even when the examiner explains the exam will not end until the criminal is dead. When Teito refuses again, Ayanami kills the Troll, and with that the exam is over and Teito and Mikage have passed.
An assassination attempt, and the escape.
After the exam, when walking to return his documents to an examiner, Teito overhears a familiar clinking noise and looks through the slightly open door where the sound is coming from. He sees the Chief of Staff, Ayanami, holding a golden necklace, and the sight of this triggers a flashback of when he saw his father murdered. Recognising the Chief of Staff as his father's killer, Teito bursts into the room, attempting to assassinate him. However, Teito is easily stopped by his bodyguard, Hyuuga, captured and sent to a cell where he is to await interrogation.
As several guards clear out Teito's locker, Mikage overhears their gossip about Teito's fate, and goes out to find and help him. As Mikage descends the prison stairs, he finds Teito had already killed all the guards, and the pair flee the prison. Pursued by the guards, and realising there is no escape for the two of them, Teito pretends to take Mikage hostage, allowing him to escape but ensuring the guards would not harm his friend. Teito escapes on Hawkzile, but is attacked by Ayanami's Zaiphon, which destroys the vehicle and causes him to crash. Teito's unconscious body is found by three Bishops from the neighbouring District, and he is taken to the Barsburg Church.
Mikage's return and death.
The three Bishops introduce themselves as Frau, Castor and Labrador, and despite the friendly reception Teito struggles to adjust to life in the Church. When Teito bumps into Labrador, he (Labrador) offers him a white rose as a charm to protect him, the pair of them unaware that the military has begun tracking Teito's movements, and realise he has escaped to the Church, under the protection of the seven ghosts.
After deciding that he cannot stay in the Church, Teito attempts to leave, but is suddenly and inexplicably reunited with his best friend Mikage. As Mikage is tired and unable to travel, Teito continues to live at the Barsburg Church and swears to look after Mikage as he rests. Meanwhile Castor becomes increasingly apprehensive at the sudden, unexplained appearance of Mikage and Labrador's odd behaviour, and Teito is pressured into always wearing the flower of protection just to be safe. Teito, in turn, begins to feel more comfortable in the company of the nuns and Bishops, revealing his name to them, something which he had been too untrusting of them to do before.
Incident with the Kor.
As Teito explores the Church at night, he meets an Old Man, who tells Teito he has the power to give Teito what he wants if Teito would let him, and tells him to return at midnight. Teito, after parting with the old man, is unsure at first but changes his mind when he hears the midnight bell toll. Greeting the old man again, Teito finds some of his memories are brought back, such as the sight of Fea Kreuz, but the situation takes a turn for the worse when the man sprouts skeletal wings, and Teito is stopped from rushing towards Fea Kreuz by a mysterious figure. The Bishops rush to his aid, having sensed something was amiss earlier.
Frau challenges the Old Man on his actions, and he (the old man) is revealed to be a Kor, who is hunting Teito as he is a criminal from the 1st District. Frau defends Teito, and uses a mysterious weapon, looking like a scythe, to fend off the Kor, and asks the Kor if his 'master' would be prefer the scythe to Teito. The Kor reacts with outrage upon seeing the weapon, and recognises Frau as having '"his"' scythe. During the ensuing battle, Teito is somehow able to see Frau's weapon, something he normally should not be able to do, and is saved from falling out the window when Labrador catches him. It takes the combined efforts of Frau, using the scythe, and Castor, using his ghost strings, to destroy the wings of the Kor and take the Old man to safety. Frau then takes Teito back to his room and removes the mark of the Kor from Teito.
After the event, Teito is introduced to Razette, a Noel Mermaid who lives in the Church reservoir. She takes an instant liking to Teito, and the two strike up a friendship. Teito learns more about the three wishes granted by the Chief of heaven, as well as the intentions of Verloren's messengers, the Kor. Castor informs him to keep the incident with the Kor a secret.
Mikage's soul.
Teito goes to visit Mikage once again, and is overjoyed to see him well, but becomes anxious when he finds that Mikage's hands are cold. Teito, however, is unaware that the Bishops are also anxious after Labrador reveals he had a vision of Mikage disappearing, and Mikage only has half a soul left and will soon cease to exist.
Teito, on the other hand, explains all of his recovered memories to Mikage (brought on by the flashback in Barsburg, and the old man Kor), mainly his relationship with the King of Raggs, Weldeschtein Krom Raggs, and is surprised, but pleased when Mikage believes him without question, but he (Teito) is suddenly struck down with another memory of Raggs and tells Mikage that he is unable to return to the Imperial Army. Upon hearing this, Mikage tells Teito to follow the light instead of taking revenge against the army, and then begs Teito to kill him.
It is shown that when Mikage was under interrogation he was given a choice between his family and Teito, to choose the one he likes and then bring them to the military, and if he chose neither, then he would die. Biding Teito a final goodbye, Mikage suddenly becomes more aggressive, sprouts a single Kor wing, and then attacks Teito. As Teito flees, Mikage, now a one-winged Kor, has him cornered on the Bridge of Trials, and the two fight. Mikage attempts to place a Promise Collar on Teito that will control him.
Teito fights back and, remembering what Frau had done earlier with the Old Man (destroying the wings of the Kor), attempts to destroy Mikage's Kor wing. Mikage defends himself, and reminds Teito that he is not a normal Kor and the destruction of the wing will result in his death, not save him. He then restrains Teito and puts the promise collar on him, letting the collar bite him (Mikage) so it recognises him as his master.
As Teito attempts suicide, he accidentally activates the Eye of Mikhail that had been dormant for many years, and summons the God Mikhail. He (Mikhail) tries in vain to attack Mikage, but the collar pevents him from doing so. Frau, having found Teito in time, protects Teito and challenges the one controlling Mikage, revealed to be the Chief of Staff, Ayanami.
Ayanami recognises Frau as, Zehel, one of the Seven Ghosts, and upon hearing this, Teito remembers hearing the same from one of the sisters in the Church and believes he has come to help, as the sister had said the Ghosts appear to those in need. Frau realises that Mikage's soul is being eaten, and that it is impossible to save him. Teito does not realise this and begs for Miakge to be saved by the Ghost. Mikage goads Teito into taking revenge against the Barsburg Imperial Army, and then he throws himself against the scythe Zehel is wielding, which cuts his wing, thus killing himself. Ayanami, noticing the scythe Zehel wields, warns Frau that his scythe will soon return to him (Ayanami), so he must treat it with care until then. As Mikage dies, Teito runs to him, and he and Teito share one last hug.
The next day after Mikage's death, Teito becomes depressed. Frau comforts him, and brings him Mikage's reincarnation, an orphaned Fyulong dragon that had fallen from its mother's nest. Teito is overjoyed that Mikage has chosen to protect him in another life. Spotting the Promise collar around Teito's neck, Frau tries to remove it, but then accidentally becomes Teito's master when it bites him. An exasperated Castor explains that if Teito and Frau are separated for more than 48 hours, the collar will explode.
The Bishop's Apprentice Exam Arc.
The Seven Ghosts.
Teito remembers Mikage's last words, telling Teito that he loves him and not to take revenge against the Imperial Army, scrawled all over the Church walls with his Zaiphon. Despite this, Teito confronts Castor, wishing to travel to Hohburg Fortress to take revenge. When questioned on past events, Teito tells Castor that he knows Frau is actually a Ghost, Zehel, and Castor has the same scent.
Castor suddenly renders Teito unconscious, revealing himself to be a Ghost too, and attempts to erase Teito's memory of the battle with Mikage. However, he is stopped by Frau, who reasons that it will take away Mikage's last smile, Teito's last treasure.
Castor warns Frau that he will lose his position as a Ghost if 'the higher-ups' were to find out about Frau letting Teito keep his memories of having seen Frau as a Ghost, but before they are able to take it any further, Frau's scythe malfunctions and attacks an unconscious Teito, despite Frau's protests.
The Eye of Mikhail intervenes before Teito is injured, and a furious Mikhail attacks the two Bishops. When Mikhail demands the removal of the collar, Castor counters that only the army can remove it. To control Mikhail, Frau makes use of the commands of the collar, and once Teito has been incapacitated, the Bishops decide to enrol Teito in the clergy exams.
As the Bishops ask Teito if he will take the Bishop's Apprentice Exam, Teito says that he will avenge Mikage by travelling to Hohburg Fortress. As Teito breaks down and expresses that he now has no reason to live now that Mikage is dead, Frau comforts him and Castor explains the need for a Clergy Pass which will help him in his revenge. Teito agrees and Castor introduces Teito to preparation for the first half of the exam, which is a written test.
Teito surpasses expectations after revealing Fea Kreuz taught him all he needed to know when he was a child. Satisfied, Castor turns his attention to the training for the practical half of the exam, introducing Teito to a Baculus, which he struggles to control. Teito is given the task of catching a Kor, something which he does not succeed at. Fortunately, Labrador rescues him in time, and gives him some tea. The guilt of Mikage and his struggle to control a Baculus takes its toll on Teito, and he admits to Labrador that he feels that he deserves to be punished for Mikage's death.
A new rival.
Whilst delivering a book, Teito mistakenly believes another acolyte is Mikage, and pursues him, grabbing his shoulder to get his attention. The boy is actually Hakuren Oak, who, irked at Teito's actions, behaves rudely towards him, and, upon seeing Teito's Exam Badge, declares Teito his rival. Teito and Hakuren get off to a rough start: Hakuren, mocking Teito's small stature, calls Teito an "elementary school kiddie", and Teito recognises Hakuren as a member of the Oak family, and insults their name. While Teito pursues Burupya, who has climbed onto Hakuren's head, he stumbles across Bastien exorcising a Kor, and is introduced to the Assistant Archbishop.
Later in the day, Teito is lead to his dorm room by the three Sisters, and is appalled to discover that his room mate is Hakuren. When going to the practice hall, the receptionist there suddenly collapses. After taking him to the infirmary, Teito and Hakuren arrive at the practice hall with Hakuren demonstrating his skill with a Baculus, and Teito struggling at first. However, when thinking of Mikage, Teito floods the device with power so that he breaks the Baculus and the barrier. The Baculus Teito used is revealed to be Frau's, which makes Hakuren furious that Teito did not know how skilled Frau was while using his Baculus.
The Wars Attacks.
When Aldo dies, Teito and Hakuren rush to the scene and find Aldo's corpse lying on the floor. Suspicion falls upon the Seven Ghosts, who people believe could not forgive Aldo for his crimes. Meanwhile, Teito returns to his research on the Eye of Mikhail, but cannot find any information that is new to him, but stumbles across the myth of Verloren, the God of Death who was sealed by the Seven Ghosts. As Bishop Frau arrives to check on Teito, Hakuren Oak, eager to impress Frau, offers him some porn and the two instantly strike up a friendship, but Bastien appears and confiscates the porn.
Worried, Teito asks whether the Seven Ghosts would really kill Aldo and Bastien replies that the Ghosts do not forgive evil, and that death was the only way Aldo could atone for his sins. When Teito later goes to visit Frau about his broken Baculus, he (Teito) overhears him (Frau) and Castor talking about the Eye of Mikhail, and Teito is angry with what he hears, believing that the bishops had used him just like the Imperial Army had done. He flees but is pursued by Frau, who he attacks, but is quickly apprehended, and Frau explains himself.
When Teito finally returns to his room, after a long night of training, he begins to undress, thinking Hakuren is asleep. Hakuren, awake, spots the sklave brand on Teito's back. Recognising it, he feels guilty for his earlier insults of "elementary school kiddie" as Teito, as a sklave, may never have gone to school. When Teito apologises too, for insulting the Oak family name, and questions Hakuren's decision to join the Church, Hakuren tells Teito why he wanted to become a Bishop, bridging the gap between the two acolytes.
Teito trains with Castor the next day, and is rewarded with a professional Baculus when he succeeds. Castor invites Hakuren to join in since he (Hakuren) had been watching. As the two students make their way back to their room, they are attacked by a Wars, being controlled by Black Hawk member, Kuroyuri, who had infiltrated the Church earlier.
The Wars launches for Teito but he is pushed out of the way by Hakuren, who takes the blow but is knocked out the window. Teito then throws himself out the window in an attempt to save Hakuren. Both boys are caught by Frau who then destroys the Wars. Frau realises that members of the Imperial army have infiltrated the Barsburg Church.
Teito and Hakuren wake up in Frau's room after the Wars attack the night before, and Teito is furious at Hakuren for risking his life to save him. When Hakuren tells Teito that a Bishop must help anyone and extends his hand as a sign of friendship, Teito refuses the offer, fearing the loss of a friend again after Mikage. When Frau wakes up, the two acolytes return to their rooms, and on the way back, Teito tells Hakuren they will become friends when Teito is able to protect him, something Hakuren finds silly.
Frau's arrest.
Teito, after being given a Clergy Pass by a man in Bishop clothing in the library, tells Castor and Labrador that the pass belonged to Fea Kreuz. Castor tells Teito that his "father" (Fea Kreauz) was excommunicated from the Church for stealing Pandora's Box, and then attacks the Bishop who handed Teito the pass, revealed to be Black Hawk Haruse, but Haruse is revealed to be a doll. This causes Jio and the three Bishops to realise that the seal of the Eye of Raphael has been broken, and the Eye of Mikhail is under threat.
Castor and Labrador explain the situation in detail, and reveal to Teito that his 'father', Fea Kreuz, had stolen Pandora's Box and then fled, something which tore a hole in the relationship between Barsburg and Raggs. Castor goes on to say that Raggs had given Kreuz shelter from Barsburg, and by these events it would have been right for Raggs to have been toppled. Teito, however, refuses to believe that Kreuz was a bad person. Just then, Labrador receives word from his flowers that Frau has been imprisoned in Light Dungeon awaiting execution.
Teito prepares to save Frau by swimming to Light Dungeon, refusing to believe that Frau is the traitor within the Church. He is aided by Razette, who gives him a scale to eat so he can breathe, and leads him to Frau. As Teito attempts to break Frau free, Frau stops him, then asks Teito to smile fo him. Teito manages an awkward smile, and then remembers the time when Mikage would teach him how to smile.
When he resurfaces, he is greeted by Hakuren who reminds him that it's time for dinner, and when they arrive at the dinner hall, he meets Ouida and Liam, who quiz him on his training with Castor, saying that there are rumours those who witness his (Castor's) Zaiphon are traumatised. Hakuren and Teito then decide to do some investigating, and arrive at the scene of the crime in order to prove Frau's innocence
The reveal.
As Teito meets the Guardians, Hakuren strikes a dark figure that appears behind Teito, but it is revealed to be Bastien, who is also searching for clues. When questioned, Bastien reveals his past with Frau, but leaves when his shift ends. Noticing the Baculus he has hit Bastien with was tainted, Hakuren realises that the Warsfeil within the Church was Bastien, and the two rush to Bastien's room to confront him.
Evading the guards, the pair discover a secret passageway where Bastien awaits them. He is revealed to be a Barsburg spy, and attacks Teito for treason against the Barsburg King, for escaping with the Eye of Mikhail. When Hakuren intervenes, Bastien holds him captive and threatens to kill him if Teito does not surrender himself.
Teito fights Bastien, but is overpowered. As Teito is being devoured by the Wars, the Eye of Mikhail activates. Mikhail wakes and destroys the Wars. He attacks Bastien, but Teito stops him as Bastien is important to Frau, which results in him being beaten. Teito is stopped from being eaten when Frau appears in Ghost form, having used this form to escape his cell, and kills Bastien. The funeral for Bastien goes on, despite the happenings in the Church.
The Inflitration by the Black Hawks.
Teito rests after the battle with Bastien, and the three Bishops come to visit them. Upon seeing Frau, Teito attacks him, furious that Frau was willing to let Teito kill him, and he (Teito) runs off upset. As Labrador looks up at the clouds, he tells the Bishops that 'they' are coming as the Black Hawks arrive at the border of the 7th District, ready to travel to Antwort for war. As Teito wanders around, a Wars suddenly appears, summoned by Kuroyuri, and devours him (Teito) and Hakuren who was carrying tea, (rendering Teito comatose) despite the Eye of Mikhail's and Frau's attempts to save him.
As Frau is unable to get to the scene in time to save Teito and Hakuren, Ayanami prepares to retrieve Kuroyuri and Haruse from the Church, who have captured the host of the Eye of Mikhail. Hakuren, who has been transported along with Teito by accident, confronts the two Black Hawks members until Haruse knocks him unconscious, and the two Warsfeil escape with the pair. While they are flying, Hakuren wakes up and blows the Hawkzile apart with his Zaiphon, and he and the incapacitated Teito are rescued by Frau as they fall from the vehicle. As Frau pours holy water on Teito to weaken the Wars, causing Teito to recover from his coma, they are pursued by soldiers from the Army. Teito wishes to kill Ayanami, and as their transport flies towards the Ribidzile where Ayanami is, Hyuuga destroys their Hawkzile.
Frau hijacks another Hawkzile as he falls, and Castor saves Hakuren. Teito, however, lands on Kuroyuri's Hawkzile, and Mikhail resurfaces. Mikhail attacks Kuroyuri because Kuroyuri hurt his master, but Haruse intervenes. Ignoring both Ayanami's and Kuroyuri's protests, Haruse uses his Wars to restrain and remove the Eye from Teito at the cost of his (Haruse's) soul.
As Haruse successfully separates Mikhail from Teito, the energy released from the Eye causes a large explosion that destroys two Ribidziles and most of the mountain below. As the Eye of Mikhail and Teito fall from the Hawkzile, Hyuuga and Frau speed after them.
As Teito and the Eye fall, Frau realises he cannot save both, and catches Teito, allowing Hyuuga to escape with the Eye. Teito is distraught at the loss of the Eye and asks Frau why he chose to save him, to which Frau replies that some things are more important. Labrador confronts Ayanami, and the latter explains they were taking a shortcut to Antwort.
Unable to do anything, the Bishops let the military pass through without further incident. Teito is reunited with Hakuren and Mikage, and has another memory of using the Eye of Mikhail when he was younger. Later on in the day, Teito and Hakuren are being tested on their Biblical knowledge by Frau, as preparation for the exam the next day. Labrador interrupts, and brings Frau a sapling of an Evie tree, believed to be the reincarnation of Bastien. Frau accepts the gift, and says that he will plant this tree in the sunniest part of the courtyard.
Eve of the Exam.
Teito and Hakuren watch the Barsburg Church prepare for the Souls' Thanksgivings Festival. The two sit on a balcony, and Teito is amazed by the sight of some balloons, held by a small child, which he had never seen before. As the child lets go of the balloons by accident, Teito jumps for them, catches them and accidentally lands on Lance, breaking his Clergy Pass. Frau, Castor, and Labrador arrive and Lance gives them the souvenirs he bought from his travels across the 7 Districts. The four Bishops discuss the position of assistant archbishop, which is open since Bastien died. Castor refused the position, on account that he won't have enough free time to pursue his hobby of making sister dolls, and instead supported Lance as a candidate. Lance is confident, and as he leaves, Teito says that he has not forgotten Mikage's death, but will take the exam with his friend.
Frau later takes him to the Eye of God he made in the mountains following Mikhail's theft. Teito accepts this is his power.
Later that day, the candidates line up for the Bishop's apprentice exam, it is revealed that the head examiner is Lance, who is still angry at Teito for breaking his pass. Teito and Hakuren enter the exam hall and find two examinees, Wade and Kyle, shouting at two old men, who they claim bumped into them. Teito and Hakuren argue with the two other examinees, defending the Old men. Before a fight starts, the examinees are asked to get ready, and Teito finds that his Zaiphon isn't working. As the two other examinees make fun of him, one of the old men shout for someone to help and Ouida shares his Zaiphon, allowing Teito to continue.
Part 1 of the Bishop's Apprentice Exam.
The exam starts and the aspirant bishops go through several challenges: the first being to overcome their fear by fighting off a dark shadow that is the manifestation of fear. Teito, who is initially scared, overcomes fear and marches on ahead as other candidates fail, remarking on how the old men they met earlier are unfazed by the shadows.
The second test, is one on their biblical knowledge, where they must answer 100 questions in various situations. He and Hakuren Oak move together and stop at a door with a difficult multiplication question. Teito is shocked, but Hakuren solves it quickly, allowing them to pass through to the next challenge.
In the first question room, Teito and Hakuren are confronted by a monster, and Teito realises, as he dives for cover, that the question is on the monster's stomach. The next room they are submerged in water alongside live Kor where they are to answer 50 questions whilst holding their breath. Teito saves a candidate who was drowning and confronts Lance and the other examiners on why they didn't help, for which he is deducted points for talking back, and the drowning candidates are disqualified.
Despite this, they both make it to the final physical challenge, which is to walk a tightrope whilst fighting off the darkness from below and carrying the two old men. After narrowly avoiding falling to their deaths, after a Wars chews the rope so that it snaps and they are saved by Hakuren, they reach the last challenge.
Two doors stand side by side, and the inscription on the wall reads that the candidates must fight each other and the victor must walk through the door of the victor, as only one member of the pair is allowed to pass the exam. Each boy thinks that the other deserves to pass more than himself, and the two old men they helped offer to give up, allowing them both to pass, but they go unheard. After writing an obscenity on the door as opposed to their names, they both decide to walk through the door of the defeated. When asked why they chose the door of defeat they say: "there are no losers, just companions to fight alongside- brothers in arms", where Bishop Lance appears and tells them that their selfless solution made them pass.
Part 2 of the Bishop's Apprentice Exam.
As the remaining candidates pass through to the next exam, Teito asks what the marks engraved in the walls were, much to the annoyance of Hakuren Oak and Kyle. Lance interrupts, and explains the marks are the signs of each of the Ghosts. Teito, reminded of Frau, is saddened when he hears the Ghosts' souls cannot return to heaven.
The Bishops and candidates then part, and Teito enters the second part of the exam and faces his biggest enemy: Ayanami.
Teito swears to kill Ayanami, and charges at him. However, he is no match for the trained soldier, who dodges the attack and stabs Teito in the chest. Lance comments that Teito has failed the exam. Teito is left on the bridge, and appears to go into shock- frightening the examiners that fear for his safety. Lance is about to stop the exam but notices something about Teito's demeanour has changed. Teito realises Ayanami is actually a manifestation of his own darkness, and the image of Ayanami begins to fade, but Teito is then confronted with another illusion. This time, an illusion of Mikhail.
The Mikhail illusion reminds Teito of the deaths in his life and says that he was the one that got them through them. Teito thinks of the promise he made to Mikage Celestine, and rejects Mikhail's offer to hurt those who have hurt him. As Teito tries to leave, Mikhail grabs him and tells him he loves him the most. Teito asks Mikhail to join him, and Teito facing his fear causes the illusion to vanish. Teito passes the exam.
Escape from the Church.
Upon exiting the exam room, Teito is greeted by Frau, and the sight of several bodies of members of the imperial army on the floor. It's revealed the Barsburg Armed Forces are investigating the Barsburg Church in order to find the wielder of the Eye of Mikhail, after the previous day's incident. Frau congratulates Teito on passing, and informs him he is now his apprentice. The pair then rush to escape the army, giving Hakuren a final goodbye. They regroup with Castor, Labrador and Lance- who gives Teito his Clergy Pass.
With the Bishops promising to hold off approaching Barsburg soldiers, Teito and Frau then rush out of the Church to escape, passing through a secret tunnel used by the Pope in emergency situations, with Labrador's petals to guide them.
They exit the tunnel in one of the back alleys in District 7. However, they are still being pursued by some soldiers. As they flee, they see a slave trader, Carl, abusing a young boy, Capella. This infuriates Teito, and he (Teito) attacks Carl and steals Capella, destroying Carl's cart in the process. The resulting explosion takes out the guards pursuing them. The three of them then continue to Ria.
Journey to District 6.
Once the three have reached the port of Ria, they leave their Hawkzile at the repair shop and look around for a store to buy supplies for the journey ahead. Frau finds one such store, but is shocked when they refuse entry to Capella on account of him being an un-bought sklave. Frau begins to protest but Teito, being reminded of his own treatment, angrily breaks the chains Capella wears, demanding that he be let in. Frau quickly drags them away before a fight starts.
Once they have reached a safe distance, Teito gives Capella his coat to hide the collar he is wearing. Capella then begins to cry at Frau's and Teito's kindness, and he calls Teito "master". Teito corrects him, and accepts Capella's request to join them on their travels (on account of Capella having no where to go).
Confrontation with Carl.
Carl, who watches them from one of the buildings, has one of his men fire an anti-armour vehicle weapon at them. Teito senses the approaching blast and uses his Zaiphon to shield them. Carl then appears from the smoke, commanding a unit of slaver-traders and trolls, and dramatically introduces himself to them.
Carl addresses Frau, whilst standing on a box so he is able to look him in the eye, and demands he repay him for the destruction of his cart. One of his men notices Teito's green eyes (rare, so slaves that possess them are expensive), and Carl says he will ignore the debt Frau owes him if Teito agrees to become a sklave he can sell. His men see Teito's tattoo and recognise him as a battle sklave, and Teito and Frau then proceed to beat Carl's men into submission.
Carl relents and extends an offer of friendship: agreeing to give Capella to Teito and Frau, and offering to give them a ride past the guards to District 6: since Carl is a military-recognised slave trader he doesn't need identification papers to cross Districts. The three agree and enter Carl's cart.
Escape from Carl.
When inside, Teito reveals his motives for going to Seele: he hopes to recover his memories of Pandora's Box so he can find Verloren's body and destroy it. Frau warns him that Ayanami will be seeking him (Teito) as the Eye of Mikhail is useless without its wielder. Teito realises that Frau has joined him on his journey so he (Teito) can act as a decoy to draw out Ayanami so Frau can kill him. Teito rebukes Frau, saying he will kill Ayanami himself but is pleased that he can contribute. Frau reassures him of his importance.
As they near District 6, Carl slips a gas bomb, containing a sleeping gas, in the back of his cart. Upon arrival, Carl opens the back doors, expecting to find those inside sleeping, but Teito, Frau and Capella suddenly bolt on a Hawkzile that was inside with them: the sleeping gas having no effect as Burupya had eaten the bomb. Carl and his subordinates watch them get away, and Carl angrily shouts that this was part of the plan.
Hausen House.
Frau, Teito, Capella and Burupya arrive at the Hausen House of District 6. As Capella and Burupya sleep, Teito complains that it is cold, and Frau hands him an erotic magazine to "heat him up"- which Teito destroys using his Zaiphon.
When Capella wakes up, the three go to the small church attached to the House of God to submit their report. Teito enters his details into the machine and finds a letter from Hakuren Oak, causing him to panic and try to reply. In his letter to the Church he mentions Capella, which causes Castor to mistakenly think Frau has fathered an illegitimate child and send him a strongly-worded letter, which Frau destroys in frustration.
Once they reach the front gate of the Hausen House, Teito opts to go in alone, and Frau leaves to go 'hunting' nearby- taking Capella with him.
Whilst entering, he sees what he first thinks to be Frau walking towards him, but then realises it is an image of Fea Kreuz and he sees images of his birth and an image of a screaming woman. Teito suddenly comes to, and realises that he has been to the Hausen House before.
The Hausen House.
Teito knocks on the door and it is answered by Seilan, butler of the Hausen House.
Teito asks for help from the God House, but Seilan closes the door to him, not willing to humour a child. Seilan sends another servant of the House to escort Teito off the premises but Teito knocks the man over and demands an audience with the Head of the House. Seilan, now angry at Teito's persistence, asks Teito if he knows what Seele is. When Teito doesn't answer, Seilan tells him that to go to Seele is to die- and tells him a child so young has not place in Seele.
Teito is at first crestfallen, wondering whether Fea Kreuz went to Seele to atone for the crime of stealing Pandora's Box, but he then tells Seilan his motives for going to Seele, and Seilan relents and allows Teito entry into the God House.
Teito introduces himself to the current head of the house, Xingfa Hausen, who welcomes him warmly. He then follows Seilan deeper into the house for a change of clothes.
An attack.
As Teito is escorted to his room, Seilan tells him how the Seven Houses of God are related to the Seven Ghosts. Seilan finds Xing-lu's clothes and puts them in the closet.
Once left alone, Teito runs himself a bath, and is reminded of a conversation between himself and Frau about the God House of Raggs- with Frau unwilling to go there due to Teito's connections. As Teito bathes, a figure breaks into his room, finding Xing-lu's clothes and throwing them around the room, and attacks him. Teito defends himself, knocking his attacker backwards but the figure is gone before Teito can discover his identity. Burupya alerts him to a piece of rubble left behind by the attacker, and Teito collects it as evidence.
The following morning, he is invited to dine with the head of the house Xingfa Hausen. He climbs through a window onto the second floor, surprising Seilan who had been standing there. Seilan takes him to the dining room, where Xingfa tells Teito that he knows Teito has had an assassin's upbringing as he smells of blood. Teito simply replies that Xingfa smells the same, and presents the evidence of the attack on him (Teito) to the residents of the House. He tells them that he believes his attacker will help him find the Cursed Ticket.
Xing-lu's room.
Seilan walks Teito around the House and asks him if he knows anything about the Seven Houses of God. Teito repeats what Seilan had told him earlier which annoys Seilan. Seilan criticises Teito for speaking impolitely to Xingfa Hausen and reveals he was an orphan adopted by Xingfa. He then says that the job of the God Houses is to defend the Barsburg Empire by assassinating enemies. Teito asks to go into Xing-lu's room, as the attacker was interested in Xing-lu's clothes that Teito had worn. Seilan relents, after first refusing and being pressured by Teito, and leads him to the room.
Teito is appalled when he sees a photo of Castor on the wall, prompting Seilan to tell Teito how the former head of the Hausen House, Xing-lu Hausen, died.
After hearing the story, Teito shouts that Castor and Razette are still alive, but Seilan is furious- thinking Teito is making a cruel joke. Teito then realises that Seilan does not know of Castor and Razette's new lives, and he encourages Seilan to mourn his former master's death by praying with him and reassuring Seilan he is a good person for not forgetting him.
Whilst thinking of his former master, Seilan suddenly has a change of heart and demands Teito leave the room. Teito is confused as to why but then a huge Wars appears in the room; the tainted remains of the lady Hausen. Seilan attempts to save Teito by pushing him out of the way but he (Seilan) is unable to help Teito further as the Wars separates them and advances on Teito. Teito draws his Baculus, Seilan is dragged out of the way by the other Hausen House Servants and Teito is dragged towards the Wars by the porcelain dolls the lady is controlling.
The room is sealed off to prevent the Wars from getting out but Teito is trapped in the room with it. He fights off the dolls and is confronted with the Lady Hausen who begs for her child to return to her. The protective barrier around the room begins to break and the Wars starts to get out and attack the servants but Teito uses his Zaiphon to defend them. With Teito distracted, the lady grabs Teito and begins to devour him.
Moved by her love for her child, Teito holds her face and begins to speak for Xing-lu: telling her that her son is alive and well and still loves her. Hearing this, parts of the Wars's humanity begin to return; the lady begins to cry for her son, apologise for her actions and she begs Teito to save her. The Wars begins to melt away, and the lady's soul is exposed. Teito uses his Baculus to purify the her soul and her body dissolves into doves and lights as her soul is sent to heaven.
The room is then filled with light as the Ghost Fest appears before Teito, and asks him if he will accept the Cursed Ticket.
The Cursed Ticket.
Teito first mistakes the Ghost before him as Zehel, but upon realising it is Castor, he asks him of his reincarnation. When Castor explains, Teito excitedly shouts that Castor can now return to his family, but Castor replies that rules prohibit him from making contact with the family that thinks him dead. Castor thanks Teito for releasing his mother from the Wars, but Teito questions Castor on The Land of Seele: asking him if to go there is to die is true.
Castor explains to Teito that in Seele, the Chief of Heaven takes your life and gives you a new life with one wish. Upon hearing this, Teito asks if he could exchange his life for Mikage's. When Castor replies he could, Teito demands the Cursed Ticket. Castor explains that only once Teito has acquired all seven tickets will he be able to go to Seele, and he touches Teito's forearm; the seal of Fest instantly being burned into his flesh. Castor blesses Teito, and disappears to return to his human body back in District 7.
When Fest leaves, an image of Fea Kreuz with the cursed ticket of Fest is left behind. When the image disappears, Teito looks back to see Xingfa Hausen looking at him. Xingfa asks which family Teito belongs to, and he, and the other servants are horrified when Teito tells him his father was Weldeschtein Krom Raggs. The residents of the House are shocked but ultimately believe him.
Leaving the Hausen House.
Xing-fa bids Teito farewell and Seilan leads Teito to the door, but when they enter the main room they find the Imperial Guard has entered the house. Though Seilan objects, they threaten to arrest Teito for what they perceive as an attempt to expose the crimes of the Hausen House. They are stopped from doing so by Frau, who suddenly arrives and beats the guards into submission. As Teito is dragged away by Frau, Seilan tosses Teito Xing-lu's coat and the servants all bow their heads to him and tell him to "come home soon".
Once out of the Hausen House, Teito asks Frau why he did not tell him travelling to Seele would result in his death. But before Frau can answer, Teito tells him that learning this has had no impact on his decision to go to Seele. Pondering Castor's death, Teito presses a hand to Frau's body and finds he is cold, and Teito realises Frau is also dead.
The group recover their Hawkzile, and continue on their journey.
Journey to District 5.
The group continue on their journey to District 5 to find the next House of God, the Krat House. Feeling hungry, Teito proposes they eat Bear, and turns his attention to the large bear chasing them. Frau approves, and Teito uses his Zaiphon to kill it.
The group sit by the fire and eat, and Frau informs the others they will travel by the Mountain Road, as it will discourage pursuers from the military. Capella- who was impressed by Teito's Zaiphon, asks Teito to teach him how to properly use his. Teito shows Capella the different emotions, and suggests Capella practice the 'bad' ones as they are easier to conjure. As Capella practices, they are suddenly interrupted by a dog barking.
They follow the sound and are lead to a dog chained to a gravestone. Teito first thinks the dog was abandoned, but when he notices Capella cannot see or hear the dog- realises it is dead. Teito attempts to free it by striking the chains with his Baculus yet they do not break. Frau explains a Baculus is not strong enough to break a Kor's wish, and he unleashes Verloren's Scythe and uses it to free the animal's soul- which then ascends to heaven. Teito remembers how he had freed Lady Hausen from the Wars back at the Hausen House and reflects that the pain he feels makes him weak. Frau corrects him- saying it makes him kind.
Teito then experiences another headache, and faints, whereupon he dreams of his childhood in the Kingdom of Raggs and he again has a vision of the screaming woman. Teito then wakes from the nightmare in a strange room, and wonders where he is.
The city of Baltos and Marie.
Upon waking, Teito immediately begins looking for Frau. He finds him downstairs, playing hide-and-seek with several of the hostesses. Frau mistakes Teito for one of the girls he is chasing, leading Teito to hit him. The Tavern owner, Madame arrives, and Teito offers to work there in order to pay for the food and rest they receive, and Madame agrees to this.
Whilst working, Teito uses his acrobatic skills to clear plates and dishes, but later goes to help Capella peel potatoes, where Capella recounts the story of how his mother sold him into slavery. Though Capella says he doesn't want to see his mother again, Teito suspects this is not true and promises to help him find her.
As Capella is being spoilt by several of the hostesses, Teito admires a painting of Marie. He sees her sat at a table and watches as Madame sits in the same place and Marie walks through her. Teito realises Marie is another spirit, and guesses this is the reason Frau chose this particular tavern. Later that night Teito and Capella watch the plaza ball, and Frau frees Marie's soul.
Aftermath.
Disturbed by the commotion, Teito finds a seemingly dazed Frau on the roof. Frau dismisses Teito's concerns as tiredness, and tells Teito he needs a bath. As Teito turns his back to get towels, Frau tries to grab him- temporarily overcome by the scythe's desire to devour a 'delicious' soul. As Teito turns back around, Frau regains his senses, and stops himself from harming Teito by smashing his (Frau's) head against a wall.
Later, Teito chases Capella around the Tavern as the latter doesn't want a bath. He bumps into Frau, and the two of them make an effort to convince Capella to take a bath, but Madame interrupts them. As Madame dresses Capella, Teito notices Frau is warm- as the hot water had warmed his skin.
Leaving for Dals.
Teito, Frau, and Capella leave for Dals in the 5th District, with Carl watching them. Frau informs Teito that he will send in his report to the Barsburg Church, but Teito runs off with Capella- telling Frau he has something he needs to do.
Teito goes to the Baltos market place, egger to spend the money Madame gave him for his hard work. He spots a pair of orange mittens and buys them for Capella, and then buys a very long scarf for Frau. However on his way back, he sees a homeless old man sat against the wall of an alleyway singing 'happy birthday' to himself. Teito is saddened by the man's plight, and gives the scarf to the old man- wishing him a happy birthday. Just then, he is confronted by a mysterious soldier.
The one-winged Kor.
The soldier reaches out for Teito, but Teito lashes out: punching the man in the face and breaking his neck. As the surrounding civilians rush to the man's help, the soldier snaps his neck back into place, and sprouts a single Kor wing. Ayanami reveals himself to be controlling the soldier.
The civilians quickly scatter. Teito drags Capella and Burupya to safety, and then engages his pursuer: attempting to purify him using his Baculus. However, the soldier launches an attack at Capella, and Teito just manages to save him, but is hurt in the process. With his arm now injured, Teito barely escapes as the soldier then destroys a large portion of the bridge they stand on.
Teito prepares to attack, but the soldier apprehends him and Ayanami tries to read Teito's sealed memories. The symbol of Vertrag and a warning: "no person whatsoever is allowed to touch these memories" appears. Ayanami tries to open the seal, but doing this triggers a 'defence mechanism', and the soldier's arm is destroyed by the seal. Before the soldier can react, Frau appears behind him and stabs him through the abdomen with his scythe. As the one-winged Kor dies, he bids Teito and Frau a final warning: that the only one who will obtain Pandora's Box is Ayanami.
As the civilians douse the street with holy water to remove all traces of the Kor, Teito begins to panic- as he knows Ayanami is watching him and he is terrified Capella will be killed. Frau quickly carries him to safety, all the while chastising him for leaving him.
Dals.
As Frau carries an injured Teito Klein to Dals, Teito laments how he is still unable to defeat Ayanami. Teito tells Frau he remembered Fea Kreuz is Vertrag, and Frau informs Teito he has tested the soul seal while Teito was sleeping- injuring his arm like Ayanami did. Teito is appalled by this, believing it to be sexual harassment, and then demands to know if Ayanami is Verloren. Frau reluctantly confirms this.
Frau flirts with a nurse as a doctor bandages Teito's arm, prompting Teito to kick him, and once Teito has recovered, he, Teito and Capella (now asleep) wander the streets of Dals. As Teito remembers how the soldier had threatened to take all that is precious, he thinks of Capella, and resolves not to let Capella get hurt. He leaves Frau and finds Carl's aircraft (who had followed them from Baltos). Evading Carl's attempts at capturing him, he makes his way onto the ship and demands to know the whereabouts of Capella's mother.
Carl, at first, says he doesn't know, but buckles after Teito begins to damage his ship and tells Teito he keeps records of Sklaves in his 'hideout' in the 5th District. Teito is pleased by this, as they were already on their way to District 5 to find the next God House. Just then, Frau appears, and shouts at Teito for leaving him. Frau realises that, as a slave barge, Carl's ship has free passage through the Districts, and invites himself and Teito onto the aircraft. Carl objects, but has little choice in the matter.
Whilst on the ship, Teito practices his Zaiphon with Capella, and is reminded of his time as a combat sklave.
Teito wakes up after they have entered District 5 airspace.
Manga synopsis.
He went to the 5th District, the territory of the former Raggs Kingdom, where he met Barsburg's princess and the owner of the Eye of Raphael, Ouka. After being abducted by Lem, he found out that he had coincidentally come to the God House of Profe, and was surprised that the house was the God House of Profe. Teito received extra abilities since he is the master of the Eye of Mikhail, abilities such as advanced hearing and a sixth sense. More are said to be sleeping within him.
Ayanami continued to pursue him (ordered by Miroku to bring Teito back to the Barsburg Army) while he is collecting the seven cursed tickets with Frau. He is captured by Ayanami in manga chapter 70. In chapter 71, he wakes up in a hospital in the Barsburg Army, not remembering anything that happened after the graduation exam (the army has probably used their advanced technology to do something to his memory), and is warmly welcomed by the Black Hawks. He is now Ayanami's Begleiter, a position originally held by Yukikaze and later Katsuragi.
He was assigned to be Rosemanelle Ouka Barsburg's bodyguard in her birthday ball. Then the Shadow Man appeared and Teito eventually found himself face to face with Frau (whom he had forgotten due to his brainwashing). He was attacked by Frau and the Eye of Mikhail awakened to protect Teito from Frau. Frau didn't want to let go of Teito's hand, even when Mikhail stabbed him in the stomach. In Teito's mind, he was being pulled by something, saying someone's calling him. Meanwhile, Mikhail was ready to release his Level 40 power.
Fortunately, the sight of Frau resulted in the return of Teito's memories, and Frau was unharmed by Mikhail's attack due to Verloren's scythe protecting him. As of Kapitel 91, Frau and Teito have reunited, and in Kapitel 92, Frau helped Teito fight Landkarte.
Verloren's Revival.
After the Battle with Landkarte.
After fighting off Landkarte to defend Teito, Frau notices that Teito's soul is shining so brightly he has to physically shield his eyes from its intensity. Teito reveals to Frau that he wanted to see him one last time before the seal on Pandora's Box broke, and begs Frau to keep his promise and kill him to prevent Verloren's revival. Frau refuses and hugs him, telling Teito that he'll do something save him.
Landkarte's Redemption.
Teito is shown to be sinking through Verloren's core, where he sees a brief image of Eve, who leads him to Landkarte. Teito manages to save Landkarte, who, with some guidance from Eve, decides he wants to leave his darkness behind. Teito encourages him, saying that although he can't forgive Landkarte, his friend Ea is still waiting for him. As they climb atop some stairs, a voice calls to Landkarte that he's late.
The voice is revealed to be Kal's, who has been waiting for Landkarte. When Landkarte expresses confusion on why he's able to ascend to heaven, Kal informs him that it's the Chief of Heaven's will, as Kal didn't write anything about Landkarte's destination in his Book of Hades. Landkarte gives Teito his cursed ticket to express his gratitude for his help, and Kal sends Landkarte ahead of him to get a "severe scolding" from the Chief of Heaven.
Alone with his former charge, Kal thanks Teito for helping Landkarte, saying that the light shining from Teito's soul helped guide Landkarte back to the path of redemption. Teito asks whether the light came from the seal on Pandora's Box being broken, but Kal replies that the comes from Teito himself. Kal explains the irony of the situation: a section of Teito's soul was sealed together with Pandora's Box, effectively hiding their "last hope" within the seal along with Verloren's body. Kal hypothesizes that Teito's light will also work on Verloren, and encourages him to find a way to escape Verloren's core. Before he ascends to heaven, Kal gives Teito one last gesture of affection by gently patting his head and smiling at him in farewell. Teito watches as his former guardian leave and bids him, and Landkarte, farewell.
Frau's Predicament.
Scythe in the Throne.
After helping Landkarte and Kal, Teito sees Eve once more. He notes that although it's his first time meeting her, he somehow feels close to her, as if he's met her before. Noticing that Eve will disappear again, he calls out for her to wait. Eve leads him to Verloren's core, where she explains to him the gravity of the situation. She tells him that he's now inside Verloren's core, and that if his soul reunites with his core, then Verloren will be revived.
Teito notices Verloren's scythe has been stabbed into a throne, and realizes that Frau has become the scythe itself in an effort to stop the resurrection by sacrificing himself to save Teito. Teito gently touches the scythe and says out Frau's name, waiting for a response.
Eve confirms that Frau has indeed merged with Frau's scythe, and tells Teito that if Frau remains there, his soul will be sacrificed and he will become Verloren. Teito tries to convince Frau to stop his ridiculous actions, but Eve tells him that it's futile as Frau's rejecting all information from outside his psyche. Eve then says that if Teito wants to save him, the best way is to enter Frau's deep psyche to convince him on the inside. Teito decides that he'll do that, and concentrates. His surroundings slowly begin to fade as Teito becomes more in synch with Frau's psyche, and before Teito looses focus of her, Eve wishes Teito good luck on his mission.
Frau's Past.
Teito finds himself standing on some stairs before a pair of large doors. Teito, wondering if he'll find Frau on the other side of them, charges through.
To his relief, Teito finds Frau sleeping in bed, and tells him to get away from the scythe quickly. Frau wakes up and Teito notices that Frau is smaller. Frau assumes that Teito is a stowaway aboard Guido's Aegis, and informs him that stowaways are sentenced to death via hanging. Frau, indignant that Teito called him small, holds Teito over the side of the ship. Teito tries to convince Frau to wait and struggles in Frau's hold, only for Frau to ignore him. Frau tells Teito that he'll spare him from his hanging and tells him to get lost soon, dropping him into 3rd District's river.
Before Teito hits the water, he finds himself on the other side of the gates, his back flat on the stairs. He dazedly wonders at Frau's complete rejection of him only to come to the conclusion that Frau doesn't remember him or about his current predicament with Verloren's Scythe.
Teito tries to think of a way to persuade Frau to release himself from the sythe and bursts through the gates again.
Frau, startled at Teito's sudden appearance, screams in alarm and demands to know why he's there. Guido, annoyed at Frau's shouting, hits him and snaps that he's being too noisy. Frau, still upset and panicked at Teito's reappearance, tries to tell Guido about Teito, only for Guido to mistake his story as Frau having a "nightmare." Guido comforts Frau, telling Frau that he doesn't need to tell him about everything that happens to him.
Teito, recognizing Guido as the former Zehel from ten years ago stands in front of him and tries to tell him about Frau's current predicament with Verloren's scythe, only for Guido to walk right through him. Teito realizes that he must be watching a video of Frau's past and that Guido is unable to interact with him.
After his failed attempt to talk to Guido, Teito finds himself once more on the other side of the gates, and realizes that he will end up there each time he's rejected from Frau's psyche. Standing in front of the gates, Teito remembers that, although Guido couldn't interact with him, Frau could, which causes him to realize that his former hypothesis was wrong. He wasn't "watching "a video of Frau's past; he was actually participating in Frau's past ten years ago.
Teito resolves that he'll do something about Frau's predicament and goes through the gates once more.
Teito finds himself standing beside Guido, who is talking to a woman about how Frau is getting better at flying the Aegis, causing her to comment that Frau is a quick learner. Guido proudly confirms her comment, saying that Frau is a talented person or he wouldn't have set his eyes on having him as his student. A voice calls out to Teito, who turns and sees that the person who called to him is Frau.
Frau asks what Teito is, before demanding to know what he's doing talking to Guido. Frau insists that it's impossible for a "brat" like Teito to approach Guido so easily because Guido isn't an "old guy." Teito tells Frau that it wasn't like he was talking about anything with Guido and explains that he doesn't think he can interact with anyone other than him. After his explanation, Teito is silent for a few moments before coming to the realization that Frau is jealous. Teito becomes irritated and glares at Frau, who's confused at Teito's sudden change in mood.
Teito calms down and explains to Frau that Guido was praising him, saying that Frau's flying techniques were good. Teito then requests being able to talk with Frau some more, commenting that he's also interested in ships. However, Frau sighs and turns Teito's request down, saying that Teito acted "overfamiliar." He tells Teito that the crew (including himself) were busy and that Teito needs to get lost. Desperate, Teito grabs Frau's wrist and tells him to wait as he doesn't have much time and begs Frau to listen to what he has to say. However Frau glares at him and Teito finds himself once more outside the gates.
Teito realizes that if he tries to drag Frau out by force, he'll retreat further inside his own psyche. Realizing that he's panicking, Teito tries to calm down. He then begins to synchronize his breathing with Frau's and once more enters through the gates.
Frau exclaims that it's Teito again and demands to know why he keeps on coming aboard the Aegis as he pleases. Teito tries to apologize but Frau throws his book at him and hits him in the head. Teito thinks to himself that the gate is too random and wonders what exactly he should do, as if he tried to help Frau any further than his relationship with him would become uncertain. Teito then notices the thickness of the book Frau threw at him and realizes that it's a language book.
Surprised, Teito exclaims that Frau was actually reading a serious book, causing Frau to tell Teito that he's a rude person. Frau tells Teito that despite his appearance, he's already mastered four national languages. Teito is awed and tells Frau that he's amazing. Frau brushes off Teito's compliment and says that those four languages were only the beginning, as he wanted to learn as many languages as Guido, who has almost no language he can't speak and can interact with people from various countries easily. Frau says that his inspiration to learn as much as possible stems from his desire to be able to take part in Guido's business deals. Teito realizes that Frau looks a lot more like an adult when he's a child and realizes that Frau's pushing himself to the limits to try and be acknowledged by Guido, whom he admires.
To his surprise, Teito notices that Frau is studying the Raggs song. Frau is surprised that Teito can read it and asks if he can speak the Raggs language. Teito tentatively agrees, and Frau asks him for help with some grammar and vocabulary he's studying.
After all Teito's help, Frau says that Teito's unexpectedly good and asks Teito if he can translate a sentence for him. Teito does so, and informs Frau that it's a verse from the bible. Teito realizes that the verse is the same one that Frau dedicated to him two months earlier, when Teito was preparing to take the bishop exam.
Teito leans closer to Frau (too close for Frau's comfort,) and asks him if he feels nostalgic, but Frau insists that this was the first time he was able to translate the book properly. Teito questions whether Frau talked about the verse somewhere with someone. Before a confused Frau can answer, a voice calls out to Teito, asking if he wants power to tear everything into pieces and to be able to devour everything.
Desperate, Teito tries to warn Frau about the upcoming Raggs war, but is fast-forwarded in time to the Raggs war. Guido orders Frau to take something to the church and Frau reluctantly complies, knowing that something's wrong as Guido isn't teasing him like he usually does. During his escape, Frau meets up with Teito, who calmly informs him that the reason Guido sent him away is because he wants to keep Frau out of danger, as the Aegis is being targeted by the Barsburg's air fleet.
Frau then meets Magdalen, who anxiously tells him that he should be heading for the church, but Frau insists that he doesn't want to be abandoned. While Frau and Magdalen are running towards each other, Teito, whose following Frau, senses the Aegis being fired upon and screams for Frau to take cover. As the explosion hits, Teito is thrown out of the gates and almost falls off the stairs, but manages to keep from falling. Dangling from the stairs, Teito screams Frau's name.
Teito sees blood coming out from Frau's gate and, believing Frau's hurt, immediately re-enters. He sees that Frau is still alive, having been shielded by Magdalen, who tells Frau that he has to live on because he's Guido's hope. Magdalen dies of her injuries and Frau immediately goes to check on Guido. Frau sees nothing left but Guido's hand on the Aegis' steering wheel, and screams in horror.
Frau begs for anyone of the Aegis crew to answer him, but receives no response. Realizing that Guido is dead, Frau begins to slowly loose his mind to despair, thinking that there's no hope left without Guido. He decides that he will stay on the Aegis to keep it afloat despite the fact that the Barsburg fleet is going to attack again.
Before it can happen, Landkarte appears and takes advantage of Frau's insanity, tempting him with the power of Verloren's scythe "to destroy and devour everything." Landkarte then puts Verloren's scythe in Frau, who destroys one of Barsburg's fleet ships, while Frau proclaims that there's no hope left even if he finds a certain soul.
While Teito is watching this happen, he notices Verloren's hand trying to grab Frau, and immediately tries to convince Frau that there's hope left. Teito tells Frau that he will become a bishop and that he'll protect many things, and tells Frau that he should live due to the feelings Guido entrusted to him.
Teito pleads with Frau not to let his life end, asking him if Frau won't let it end for himself if he'll keep himself alive for Teito's sake. Just as Verloren's hand is about to grab Frau, an explosion occurs. Teito then finds himself standing beside the Frau he's used to.
Frau tells Teito that the Aegis was supposedly decommissioned after the Raggs war, and that the sky pirates were subject to subjugation throughout Barsburg's empire. However, Frau reveals that the subjugation of the sky pirates is actually a lie and that the Aegis, rather than being decommissioned, is still flying somewhere. Frau reveals that he couldn't believe that Guido was dead and confesses that he always believed Guido was alive somewhere. Frau also reveals that he had Verloren's scythe swallow it in an effort to preserve Guido's legacy and the memory of his hero, Guido.
Frau then confesses to Teito he doesn't have any memory of when the scythe took him over ten years ago. Teito tells Frau that Guido was Zehel before him and that after Frau was overtaken by the scythe, he came to attack Teito to try and get Pandora's box. Teito reveals that Frau actually died ten years ago on the Aegis, having lost his physical body in the explosion. However, Guido, who was ready to ascend to heaven, noticed Frau's plight and came to stop him. Teito says that Guido gave Frau Zehel's power so he could control the scythe, and reveals that Frau has been kept alive by Guido for the past ten years because of it.
Teito changes the subject, wanting to know how the Aegis managed to get in Verloren's scythe, causing Frau to reply that the scythe has a bottomless appetite. Frau bids farewell to the ruined Aegis, coming to terms with Guido's death and letting the Aegis dissolve to nothing.
Frau then scolds Teito for coming to save him after he was willing to give his life to let Teito escape Verloren, however Teito refuses to let Frau become Verloren. Frau tries to convince Teito there's no other way, only for Teito to tell Frau that there is, asking for Frau to have faith in him.
Teito then requests that Frau fight Verloren together with him, and Frau accepts, calling himself a "stubborn stud."
Removing the Scythe.
In the present, in Verloren's core, Teito finally manages to remove the scythe from the throne.
Fighting Ayanami.
Teito fights Ayanami, and a while later, disappears from Ayanami's sight, along with Verloren's scythe, but not before giving Ayanami a dangerous smile, hinting that he (Teito) may have an as yet unknown plan to defeat Ayanami/Verloren.
Ayanami's death.
Teito tries to save Ayanami, but Ayanami calls him a fool and forcefully separates himself from Teito so that Teito won't be devoured by the darkness.
Teito goes to Seele to save Frau from Verloren's scythe, dying in the process. He uses his Seele wish to give Ayanami's position as Verloren to Frau, allowing Ayanami to live regular human lives from then on. At the end of the series, Teito has been reborn as Wahrheit Teito Klein, and years later, at the age of 40, he becomes Pope of the Barsburg Church and reestablishes the kingdom of Raggs. This reincarnation of his dies a peaceful death at age 80.
Battle Rabbits.
Another reincarnation of Teito is shown in Amemiya and Ichihara's second series, "Battle Rabbits", in which Teito lives as a titular Battle Rabbit, sometimes using the alternate name of Sanzen-in Sesshuu. Born with a body that can only live by absorbing darkness, he uses his powers and knowledge to protect Earth from becoming tainted by the dark feelings of its inhabitants. His body eventually reaches the point of breaking down, which leads him to arrange a meeting with the Emperor of the Moon, a reincarnation of Ayanami, to basically kill him. Before this, however, Teito combines his powers with those of his childhood friend Eurynome, a dragon, creating a child in the process. This baby inherits Teito's powers of darkness, and when the forces of prophet Tsukuyomi interfere to get rid of the child, Teito absorbs the baby's dark powers in his place and becomes the series' antagonist, Rasetsu. The baby is sent 1200 years into the future, and grows up to become the series' main protagonist, Kaguya Kokuryuu.
Kaguya eventually goes back in time, having been ordered by Frau, acting as Verloren, to defeat the person who created Rasetsu, however seeing how gentle Teito is leads him to believe he may not be his creator after all. Both Kaguya and Teito, unaware that they are father and son, express that they feel a strong connection to each other, and spend a couple of days together until the day of Teito's arranged meeting with Ayanami comes. In this scenario, where a teenage version of Kaguya is now present, Teito still absorbs the powers of baby Kaguya, but this time, teenage Kaguya interferes and absorbs the powers from Teito, becoming Rasetsu in his place. Having received a fatal wound earlier, Teito dies in Kaguya's arms, watching Kaguya transform and weakly call him his father for the first time.
Kaguya lives for 1200 more years as Rasetsu, forgetting his actual identity entirely other than a couple of small, random memories. He eventually attacks Earth and kills himself after remembering who he is. As he is dying, Kaguya manages to hold onto his humanity and is allowed to reach the Sea of Beginning, in which he meets up with Frau and Teito. Teito, proud of his son and moved by his achievements, finally gets to give him a warm hug, during which he tells Frau he's home, and Frau calls him his usual nickname of "damn brat". Kaguya is then given the right to go back to his life as himself, as Teito stays behind and prepares to start his next life.

fandom.07ghost | # Teito Klein/Relationships
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Teito Klein, born Wahrheit Tiashe Raggs, is the main protagonist of the anime and manga series 07-Ghost.
He is first introduced as an amnesiac and a former battle slave who was captured by the Barsburg Empire and was considered to be the military academy's star pupil. It is later revealed that he is a prince of Raggs. Teito is also related to the Antwort Family through his father's union with Vanessa Antwort. Through his mother and maternal grandparents, he can claim descent from the Barsburg Family as well.
Barsburg Church.
Due to Teito's past experiences with people, he was slow to open up to those of the Church, despite their kindness and warm welcome. After witnessing the acts of the Bishops and observing the morals that those in the Church live by, he gradually began to trust them. Teito's feelings towards the people of the Church has had its problems, as he was quick to assume that the Church had been using him like the military had done when he overheard Castor and Labrador speaking about the Eye of Mikhail. After Frau spoke to him, Teito chose to believe and trust them.
Being the vessel of the Eye of Mikhail and Pandora's Box, Teito is under the direct protection of the Church.
Frau.
Frau rescued Teito when he fell from his hawkzile, and took him back to the church. Despite the favour, they did not get along very well, and their first meeting (where Teito was awake) involved Teito attacking Frau twice. Teito distrusted Frau, and behaved aggressively towards him, partly brought on by Frau's intimidating appearance, loudness and perversion, but also due to his own experiences with people. Teito also did not have much respect for Frau as a Bishop, as he saw the magazines and how he behaved around women. His initial feelings for Frau were expanded on in the anime, where his distrust was more obvious and Teito saw Frau as an obstacle to his journey to save Mikage. Teito's annoyance with Frau was used by Castor to encourage Teito to train harder, in the form of Castor's Frau dolls.
After the death of Mikage, Teito grows much closer to Frau. This could be because he had broken down in front of Frau so was not as worried about showing weakness to him, or because he trusted Frau as a result of him bringing him Mikage's reincarnation. Frau stopped Castor from erasing Teito's memory of seeing him as Zehel, because by doing so, Castor would also be wiping out Mikage's last smile. Teito later extended the favour, helping Frau through Bastien's death and encouraging him to mourn properly. Teito's new-found trust was shown when he was reluctant to kill Bastien because he was important to Frau, despite Bastien trying to devour him.
Frau's imprisonment showed Teito's change in attitude. Despite earlier distrusting Frau, Teito not once doubted Frau's innocence, despite seeing him at the scene of the crime. Teito feels responsible for Frau, and he took it upon himself to free him from his cell in the Light dungeon, almost drowning in the process, and appeared distraught that he was unable to do anything. Despite Frau's warnings, Teito went out of his way to prove his innocence, and was willing to break Church rules to do this.
It is worth noting that Frau tends to become more emotional and expressive around Teito, and when it comes to matters involving Teito. After Teito was kidnapped by Ayanami, Frau was visibly annoyed at Castor and Labrador for not rescuing Teito despite them already having found out what had happened to Teito, and was determined to rescue Teito despite being exhausted and weakened. Frau more readily expresses his feelings to Teito than to any other character in the series.
Due to a blood contract with the promise collar, Frau is Teito's "master," meaning Teito cannot be apart from Frau for more than 48 hours, or else the collar will explode and kill Teito. This collar gives Frau the ability to use three commands on Teito: bind, sleep and pain. However, Frau has never used the 'pain' function.
Frau can be seen as quite possessive of Teito; on more than one occasion, he tells Teito not to leave him, and reacts with fear and anger whenever Teito wanders away. He once even went as far as to chain Teito's ankle to a bed and claimed this was for Teito's own safety. He also often watches Teito while the latter is sleeping. Despite this, he clearly does not intend to harm Teito and his more aggressive actions may be attributed to the influence of Verloren's Scythe.
Frau also protects Teito physically, and whenever Teito is being targeted by Kors, Frau is always the first to come to his rescue. He worries about Teito's safety, shown he repeatedly tells Teito not to go off by himself and becomes angry at Teito when the latter disobeys him, his anger stemming from fear for Teito. Frau is not above killing, or expressing a desire to kill, anyone who tries to harm Teito, especially Ayanami. In a humorous scene in the manga, Frau's imagination ran wild and he visualized Ayanami as a snake about to devour an innocent frog, Teito.
Teito and Frau form a strong bond of mutual affection and respect, protecting and deeply caring for each other, and Frau becomes the most important person to Teito. Their relationship could best be described as older brother/younger brother. Frau is also somewhat parental towards Teito and once humourously became Teito's "mother" in the side chapter Supreme Sugar 03. However, despite Teito caring for Frau the most, they will still argue and fight with each other, as Teito dislikes Frau's penchant for flirting and refers to Frau as a "perverted priest," and Frau expresses annoyance with Teito whenever Teito disobeys him. Frau thinks of Teito as his "light" and implored the boy to stay with him. In response, Teito constantly reassured Frau and maintained a strong bond of mutual respect and affection with his bishop. They travelled everywhere together and Frau made sure to keep Teito close at all times.
It is shown that Teito doesn't want to be a burden to Frau. Frau is revealed to be a precious person of Teito's, as an apparition of Frau materializes deep within a brain-washed Teito's psyche to stop him from opening Pandora's Box. According to Dr. Nanase, only "something important or hateful in the heart" can appear within a person's psyche (chapter 79).
In chapter 92, it's revealed that Teito met a teen-aged Frau as a young child during the Raggs war.
Castor.
When Teito first arrived at the Church , Castor was the one who comforted him the most; telling him they would not hurt him and he didn't have to tell them his name if he didn't want to. From their first meeting, and although they do not spend a great amount of time with each other, Teito quickly began to consider Castor the voice of reason and asked him whenever he needed to know something.
Castor has remained Teito's main source of knowledge for the rest of the series. This was especially obvious during the Bishop's apprentice exam, where Castor was responsible for Teito's coaching. Teito also thought enough of Castor to uphold his wish of the Kor remaining a secret, and didn't once question his motives for wanting it to be so.
Castor was protective of Teito, punished Frau whenever he (Frau) appeared to be picking on or making fun of Teito. Castor also had his nun dolls watch Teito for him, to maintain Teito's safety, and gave Teito late-night lessons on mastering how to use a Baculus to channel Zaiphon, by means of physically training Teito with dolls that looked like Frau. He also tested Teito for the theory part of the exam.
Early on in the series, Teito appears to have held the most respect for Castor of the three main bishops, as when deciding to leave the Church, it was Castor whom Teito approached to thank, and told him he was leaving.
Throughout the series, Teito has allowed Castor to influence him in some of his biggest decisions, and Castor was the one who convinced Teito to take the examination to enter the priesthood exam. Teito trusts Castor enough to know what is best for him, despite not always agreeing with his methods. Castor personally thanked Teito for freeing Lady Hausen's soul.
Later in the series, along with Frau and Labrador, he infiltrated the Hohburg Fortress in an attempt to rescue Teito. Before his death as a human, Castor served Teito's paternal biological family, the Raggs royalty, as an assassin, and once prevented an assassination attempt on Teito's father.
Labrador.
Labrador and Teito do not interact much but have a good relationship , and Teito is respectful towards Labrador . His first conversation with Labrador was when the latter gave him the Flower of Protection, saying it will help keep him safe. Despite knowing nothing of Labrador and the flower , Teito still believed him and offered to give the flower to Mikage.
When Teito broke down at Mikage's death, Teito felt comfortable enough around Labrador to reveal his feelings, despite normally keeping them to himself. When Labrador comforted him, telling him Mikage's feelings, and encouraging him to move on, Teito took his words to heart. Teito has been shown to respect Labrador, calling him "Labrador-san".
Later in the series, along with Frau and Castor, Labrador defended Teito during the Hawkzile Race and, after Teito was captured, sneaked into Hohburg Fortress in an attempt to rescue Teito. When Teito uncovered the sin of the Krat House of God, Labrador as Profe personally thanked him. Labrador was one of the people who witnessed Teito depart for Seele.
Lance.
Teito and Lance did not interact much throughout the series. Lance oversaw the Bishop's Apprentice Exam in which Teito and Hakuren took part, and as a bishop as well as one of the Seven Ghosts, Lance did his part to defend the Barsburg Church when the military invaded in an attempt to find the wielder of the Eye of Mikhail, and prevent them from recapturing Teito. The first time Teito and Lance met, Teito accidentally stepped on Lance's clergy pass, causing Lance to become annoyed with him, but Lance's annoyance seemed to abate after a while.
However, their feelings towards each others continue to be mixed: Lance referred to Teito as an 'uncharming brat' after Teito swore, yet was the examiner who officially assigned Teito to be Frau's apprentice after the exam, where he smiled at Teito and wished him luck on his journey. yelled at Lance when the latter refused to rescue some candidates who were in trouble during the exam, but otherwise respected him as a bishop and a Ghost.
Despite their mutual mixed feelings, they don't seem to particularly hate or resent each other. While Teito was still brainwashed and acting as Ayanami's Begleiter, Lance infiltrated the Hohburg Fortress in order to keep an eye on Teito and gather information on what the military was doing to him. A short while later, after being informed by Ea that Teito was at the Oak House during Wakaba Oak's funeral, he went there in an attempt to contact Teito, and was subsequently devoured by Verloren's reincarnation.
When Lance finally escaped Verloren's body, Teito was pleasantly surprised to see him alive and well. Lance inform Teito of Kreuz's survival. Whenever Teito thinks about the people dear to him, Lance is one of the people shown to appear in his mind.
Razette.
Teito first encountered Razette when he fell into the Church fountain, and panicked after thinking she was a monster. When they were properly introduced, Teito and Razette instantly befriended each other despite the fact that she is normally very wary of strangers .
Teito used Razette's guidance to find Frau's whereabouts when he was imprisoned. Teito trusts and likes Razette but this doesn't stop him from being disturbed at her shape shifting powers, mainly when she turns into Frau.
Hakuren Oak.
Teito first encountered Hakuren after Mikage's death, when Teito mistook him for Mikage . Hakuren and Teito do not begin on pleasant terms and the two trade insults within the first few minutes of meeting each other. Hakuren thought very little of Teito and belittled him, calling him an "elementary school kiddie". Teito's negative comments about Hakuren's family offended him and further cemented Hakuren's dislike of Teito.
Hakuren was appalled when he discovered Teito was his room-mate and partner for the exam and demanded a change. However, this appeal was rejected and forced contact meant that the pair got to know each other better. Hakuren's opinion of Teito changed when he discovered Teito was a sklave. He felt guilty for his earlier rudeness, (calling Teito an "elementary school kiddie" when as a sklave he would not have received an education) and apologized. After Teito revealed his reason for taking the exam, Hakuren began to respect him more and returned the favour by explaining why he is in the Church.
However, although their relationship improved, they still treated each other with formal indifference. It was only after the incident with Bastien that Teito began to consider Hakuren a comrade, but because of Mikage, Teito was still reluctant to accept Hakuren's offer of friendship, despite caring for him enough to risk his life for him.During the Bishop's Apprentice Exam, Teito and Hakuren's bond grew stronger. Teito began to respect Hakuren's strength, admire his determination and the journey he has gone through, and trust his decisions. His new-found trust was especially evident during the final act of part 1 of the Bishop's Apprentice Exam, when Teito offered to give up his place in the finals for Hakuren, where he finally called Hakuren his "best friend", said he wants to "protect what's important" to him, and judged him more worthy of winning. When Teito was forced to flee the Church, they met for one last time and parted as equals, promising each other that they would get stronger.
Teito is offended when others insult Hakuren, as shown when he became annoyed at Wade and Kyle for insulting Hakuren during the Bishop's Apprentice Exam. When Ouka asked Hakuren about his friendship with Teito, Hakuren described Teito as 'obstinate, short-tempered, not to mention a crybaby...a very troublesome person overall' but added that Teito is his 'light', and said that after meeting Teito, his grudge against his father lessened.
Like Frau and Mikage, Hakuren seems to enjoy teasing Teito, though not as much or as often as the other two. Hakuren also sometimes takes on a motherly role towards Teito, with Frau commenting that he (Hakuren) sounds like a mother in his letter to Teito . Mikhail said that Hakuren's voice has the power of soothing Teito and Teito's heart cares about Hakuren . Mikhail also metioned that Hakuren Oak is someone who is very important to his master.
Later in the series, Hakuren became worried when he found out that Teito had lost his memories. He did his best to help Teito recover his memories. Before the princess's birthday ball, Teito practiced dancing with him after the royal family's Head Attendant asks them to, to ensure that Teito would know how to dance at the ball.
Hakuren was one of the people who saw Teito off when Teito left for The Land of Seele.
Libelle, Athena and Rosalie.
The nun trio is kind and caring towards Teito. The nun trio greeted Teito when he woke up after escaping from the military. They continued helping him for the remainder of his stay.
Ouida.
Ouida took an instant liking to Teito, as he returned a notebook containing photos of Ouida's family that Ouida had dropped. He looked happy to see him during the Bishop's Apprentice Exam, as he smiled and waved at him and donated some Zaiphon to Teito. Due to the closeness of their respective Bishop superiors, it is likely they would spend more time with each other if Teito was able to stay in the Church.
Liam.
Liam does not interact much with Teito, but they get along fairly well. When Liam found out that Teito was training with Castor, he excitedly spoke to Teito about the rumours surrounding Castor, despite having just met Teito.
Kyle.
The first time they appeared, Kyle taunted Teito. Upon meeting him again, Kyle seemed unimpressed at Teito's lack of knowledge of the Ghost marks, and appalled that he had previously destroyed a part of the Church.
However, he may not dislike Teito as much as initially thought, as when Teito looked upset , he asked him what was wrong. He has had no further contact with Teito since the Bishop's Apprentice Exam.
Bastien.
Bastien was kind and helpful towards Teito and Hakuren at first, and the two boys both respected Bastien. Teito and Hakuren were both shocked when they discovered Bastien's crimes. Bastien did not hesitate to attack them when they confronted him, and was determined to bring Teito back to the military. However, Teito was unwilling to hurt Bastien, instead pleading with him to stay with Frau.
Both Teito and Hakuren did not attend Bastien's funeral, because Teito was still recovering at the time and Hakuren was looking after him. Teito was present when Labrador presented Frau with Bastien's reincarnation.
Jio.
Jio and Teito spend very little time with each other, but are aware of each other's respective positions as Archbishop and the vessel of the Eye of Mikhail and Pandora's Box. In the future, Teito goes on to succeed Jio as Pope.
Barsburg Armed Forces.
Due to the multitude of wrongdoings committed against him, Teito has come to despise nearly all members of the military.
Mikage Celestine.
During Teito's years at the academy Mikage was Teito's best, and only, friend. Despite their greatly different personalities, Teito's pessimism and Mikage's optimism, often causing quarrels and fights, Teito considered Mikage his greatest treasure. Teito often became annoyed at Mikage's comments on his height and would hit him in retaliation, but also extended the same punishment to anyone else who insulted Mikage. Teito thought the world of Mikage, promising him that they will die together, and did his best to ensure Mikage's safety during his escape. Even when in the Church, Teito's thoughts were still with Mikage, and fear for Mikage's well-being caused a notable shift in Teito's personality. Teito became more emotional and desperate, and his happiness that Mikage found him temporarily clouded his judgement and normally suspicious nature. Teito had a lot of respect for Mikage, and felt comfortable and confident enough in Mikage to share his past as the prince of Raggs with him.
Teito felt that he owed Mikage a debt and should be grateful that Mikage was his friend. Mikage's death emotionally crippled Teito, who could not shake feelings of responsibility in his death, and considered his own life worthless. He felt that he disappointed Mikage by not dying with him like they first promised, and wished that Mikage had never befriended him so he would not have died. Mikage's death solidified Teito's hatred of the Empire, and has continued to be the driving force behind many of his actions in the ongoing series.
Mikage's spirit has appeared to Teito on a few occasions, and Teito appears to be the only one who can see him on such occasions.
Even after Mikage's death, Teito still finds it hard to go on without his best friend. Mikage and Teito's friendship throughout the series is one of the main themes of the story. Before his body was taken over by Ayanami, Mikage told Teito that he loved him as much as he loves his own family, cherishing Teito like a brother, and that he couldn't hand Teito over to the military that wished to kill him. In Kapitel 75 , upon seeing the many photos of himself and Mikage, breaks down and cries.
Karu.
Because Teito's mother, Millea Klein, is a blood Barsburg, Teito and Karu are related by blood.
Teito first met Karu during the Raggs war, when the 07-Ghosts convened to discuss the Pope's treachery by making Teito Pandora's Box. Karu suggested erasing Teito's memories of the Raggs war so that he did not accidentally open Pandora's Box himself. However, after witnessing Teito's courage and willingness to fight, he rescinds his suggestion and decides to put his faith in him, commenting upon his fighting spirit and complimenting Teito's courage with a rare smile.
After the Raggs war, when Chairman Miroku decided to take Teito in as his battle slave, Karu was left in charge of watching Teito to make sure that he didn't escape. During this time, Karu was aloof around Teito because he didn't want anyone suspecting his identity as one of the 07-Ghosts. After Karu reveals his true identity as Ea to Teito, he admits to admiring Teito's courage.
Karu was secretly protective of Teito, and has said that he admires Teito's courage. In Kapitel 76 and 77, he was willing to put his position as a spy for the church in potential jeopardy so he could contact Relikt and warn him about the danger Teito is in. In Kapitel 86, Karu admitted that he kept Teito sheltered within the mansion due to over-protectiveness, and once beat Teito half to death as punishment for trying to leave. In Kapitel 90, instead of allowing Teito to use himself as "bait" to draw Landkarte away from his bedridden mother and friends, Karu switches his current soul number (which Landkarte doesn't know) with Teito's so that Landkarte will come after Karu instead, giving Teito time to reunite with Frau. This decision ultimately causes Karu's death when Landkarte kills him to escape the Book of Hades to find Teito.
In Kapitel 94, Karu reunites with Teito within Verloren's core, thanking Teito for helping Landkarte and telling Teito that he has to escape Pandora's Box. Before he ascends to heaven, Karu gently pats Teito's head and gives him another rare smile as a final farewell.
Katsuragi.
Katsuragi is the current Ghost Landkarte and he helps the 07-Ghosts oppose Verloren by sealing Pandora's Box, Verloren's true body, through the Eye of Mikhail and the Eye of Raphael .
Katsuragi does not care for Teito , betrayed his duties and tried to harm Teito . He later tried to force Teito to open Pandora's Box twice, which endangered his life each time. However , Katsuragi may have felt remorse for his actions and want to atone for what he had done .
Despite being enemies , Teito cares for Katsuragi to some extent , as shown in Kapitel 92 , Teito , seeing that Landkarte's heart is still pure despite the darkness corrupting the rest of his body, holds on to it (the heart) and purifies Landkarte , and later in Kapitel 93 , Teito wonders out loud if Landkarte's soul can be returned to the Chief of Heaven's side so that Landkarte can atone for his sins .
Later , in Kapitel 94 , he ascended to Heaven after the Chief of Heaven forgave him, and after giving his Cursed Ticket to Teito. Karu/Ea mentioned that Landkarte will get a 'severe scolding' for his crimes from the Chief.
Miroku Barsburg.
Miroku took Teito in at a young age, making him his personal battle sklave . He had Teito trained in arts from weaponry to melee combat with Zaiphon but his real motives are unknown. Miroku may have wanted to observe the power of the Eye of Mikhail in combat, wanted to prepare him as Ayanami's Begleiter, or just thought Teito had the potential to become a good soldier and thus it would be a waste not to train him. Miroku said that Teito was the best student he had ever trained, but deems Teito's lack of killing intent his main weakness. His conversation with Ayanami in Kapitel 28 suggests his plan is to awaken the Eye of Mikhail within Teito, saying he has tried all methods to awaken Teito but none had succeeded, so he can't help thinking that Teito won't awaken unless he is herded body and soul by someone like Ayanami.
Later , in Kapitel 79 , Miroku had adopted Teito Klein as his son, thus making him an official member of the Barsburg Family. The plan to do so, according to the Royal Family's Head Attendant during the briefing before the Groom Choosing tradition, had been long overdue but because of Teito's former sklave status, took a long time to be approved. That done with, Teito was sent out to be one of Princess Ouka's fiance candidates, the main reason of course was for security purposes.
Despite the fact that Miroku is an antagonist of the series and therefore an enemy of Teito's, Teito does not seem to hate Miroku, or at least he doesn't resent him nearly as much as he (Teito) hates Ayanami. Also, Miroku does not intend to kill Teito, unlike Ayanami. However, Miroku can also be seen as unkind or cruel towards Teito, as he forced Teito to work for him as his personal battle sklave when Teito was a child, and Teito has said that while he was living in Miroku's household, Kurena (Miroku's maid) was the only one who was kind to him (Teito).
It is worth noting that, both being members of the Barsburg family, Teito and Miroku are related by blood, albeit distantly.
The Black Hawks.
Up until Kapitel 71, Teito had little to no contact with the rest of the Black Hawks. Despite the increased amount of time spent with them, he failed to warm to them, disliking their over-friendliness and strangeness. Despite their connection to Ayanami, Teito does not appear to hold that against them, and did not kill them when given the chance. The Black Hawks were all friendly towards Teito when he returned to the military, especially Konatsu, who was relieved that Teito's joining the Black Hawks would lessen his (Konatsu's) workload.
Hyuuga.
Being a loyal subordinate of Verloren/Ayanami, Hyuuga has done almost as much to harm Teito as Ayanami. During the Raggs War, Hyuuga killed one of Teito's father's bodyguards, and pursued the fleeing Teito and Fea Kreuz.
Unlike Ayanami, Hyuuga does not seem to harbor any resentment towards him, as he at times question whether Teito must be Ayanami's personal enemy and when Teito was brainwashed and joined the Black Hawks, Hyuuga was friendly towards him, offering Teito a lollipop when he woke up and did not protest and even helped when Ayanami killed Wakaba Oak to keep Teito safe longer despite it being a very serious crime, showing while not hesitating to attack Teito when ordered, he is fully able to get along with and show kindness and care for him unlike Ayanami. He also acknowledged Teito's skill, apparently considering that there are rare individuals able to rival Teito, as he was impressed by the Antwort Twins's ability to be equal to Teito enough that he asked them to be part of the Black Hawks. However, Teito is more suspicious than accepting of him.
Kuroyuri.
Earlier in the series, Kuroyuri appeared to have a low opinion of Teito, speculating that the Eye of Mikhail left Teito because he was weak. They also had no hesitation attacking Teito under Ayanami's orders.
However , after Teito was brainwashed and joined the Black Hawks , it seems that Kuroyuri has no personal dislike for him and actually seems to get along well with him . In chapter 71, they greet Teito happily when he wakes up in the hospital, cheerfully telling him that he's "unexpectedly clumsy" for hitting his head during a mission, which is the lie that the Black Hawks tell Teito as an explanation for how he forgot two months worth of his memories (in truth Ayanami sealed the memories). They also inform Teito of his new position as Ayanami's Begleiter, and is shocked when he doesn't remember who Ayanami is, shouting at him for needing to ask who Ayanami is.
In chapter 74, Kuroyuri were seen helping Teito and Konatsu with their paper work, showing that they don't mind spending time working with Teito.
Shuri Oak.
Teito and Shuri had a hostile relationship when they were students at the military academy prior to Teito's escape to the Barsburg Church, as Shuri looked down on Teito's being a former slave and Teito disliked Shuri for his arrogance and sarcasm. After Teito returned to the academy, when they found out that they were roommates, they immediately asked for a change in their room, but Konatsu Warren rejected it (manga chapter 72).
In manga chapter 77, it was revealed that Shuri and Mikage were childhood friends, and that Shuri was jealous that Mikage always stuck with and cared about Teito instead of him, which was one of the reasons why he verbally bullied Teito. Later, it was revealed that in fact Mikage's death also made Shuri feel sad, although he denied it when Teito said so. In manga chapter 75, Shuri and Teito's relationship improved somewhat when Shuri was crying heartbrokenly over his father's corpse, and Teito hit one of the soldiers who tried to drag him (Shuri) away.
Later in the series, their relationship has improved to the extent that they have a short, friendly chat at Ouka's birthday ball. Shuri still occasionally insults Teito, but without any malice, and Teito seems less easily offended by Shuri's insults.
Konatsu Warren.
While Konatsu has no hesitation in attacking Teito, like Hyuuga and unlike Ayanami, he has no personal grudge towards him. likes Teito's capability. Upon hearing that Teito scored Grade A for information processing, Konatsu was so touched that he cried and welcomed Teito happily, thinking that finally there's someone who can lessen his workload. He then proceeded to give Teito a baseball bat, probably to hit Shuri and Hyuuga with. Konatsu also gave Teito a can of peach juice and a ballpoint pen.
Both boys were bullied during their student years, so they have something in common.
Haruse.
Haruse once tried to subdue and capture Teito, in order to bring the latter back to the military. Later in the series, after Teito returned to the military, Haruse was friendly towards him, like the other Black Hawks.
Yukinami.
Yukinami got along well with Teito in the brief time they spent together. In contrast to his twin, he is reluctant to harm Teito, as shown during the Hawkzile race.
Suzunami.
Suzunami got along well with Teito in the brief time they spent together. However, it seems that he may care somewhat less for Teito than Yukinami, as during the Hawkzile race, Yukinami hesitated to attack Teito while Suzunami showed no signs of hesitation.
Barsburg Royalty.
Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg.
Teito and Ouka get along well and seem to see each other as good friends. Teito has given Ouka a stuffed bunny plush toy, which she still keeps with her. Their first meeting actually occurred ten years ago, during the Raggs War, but both of them forgot about it for many years, due to both of their memories having been wiped. They have been shown to deeply care for each other.
When Teito was still suffering from memory loss, Ouka said to him that she wanted to help him regain his memories. Teito has also used the light of Mikhail to help Ouka remember that she is a clone of the original Ouka. In Kapitel 89, Ouka promised Teito that she would fulfill the mission of resealing Verloren's soul.
Both being members of the Barsburg family, Teito and Ouka are related by blood. Teito was one of Ouka's fiance candidates at her Groom Choosing masquerade, replacing Granne Barsburg's son.
On two separate occasions, Ouka used her healing Zaiphon to heal Teito.
Family.
Teito appeared to be very close to most of his blood relatives.
Weldeschtein Krom Raggs.
Krom loved Teito, who was born by the woman he loved the most, deeply, and he valued Teito's life above all else. He always thanked Teito for being born, and became frightened when he found out that he was in the hands of the Pope.
During the Raggs War, Krom did all he could to ensure his only son's safety, sending him away with his best bodyguards, and asking his brother to erase all his memories of Teito, for fear that people would find and harm him. He was willing to surrender his possession of the Eye of Mikhail in order to stop his son's soul from being devoured by Verloren. When Teito had to flee the Raggs royal home during the Raggs War, Krom was apparently sad at not being able to leave with his son.
Millea Klein.
It is known that Teito's mother was very ill when Teito was three or four years old. It is implied that Millea was the one who taught Teito to make a crown of clovers, as some of the orphanage children asked her to help them make some.
Millea and Teito have a good mother-son relationship. Teito often talked to Millea while she was on her sickbed, and when Millea emerged from her coma, Teito was apparently overcome with emotion.
They reunited more than a decade later, long after the war that tore their Raggs kingdom apart. Millea gives birth to Teito's reincarnation at the end of the series, bringing him back into the human world.
Fea Kreuz Raggs.
Kreuz is Teito's uncle by blood and was shown to care about Teito very much , often being shown hugging and kissing him. Kreuz was so devoted to Teito that he was willing to eat the mushroom Teito brought him as food , despite it being poisonous, describing it as "the prince's goodwill" and urging the palace guards to also eat it.
He was also protective of Teito and concerned about Teito's safety, sometimes resorting to violence, elbowing Agas when the bodyguard was throwing Teito in the air. Kreuz tried his best to protect Teito from harm, defying the Pope to save his life and vowing to protect him at the cost of his own life.
Ten years after Kreuz's death, Teito keeps Kreuz in his thoughts, even drawing comparisons between Kreuz and Frau.
Vanessa Antwort.
Vanessa harboured a great hatred for Tiashe, seeing him as an obstacle to Krom's affection- as she knew Krom was reminded of Millea Klein whenever he saw Tiashe. Vanessa knew that Krom did not truly love her as he did with Millea and was almost driven to insanity as a result.
Vanessa wished that he had never been born because then Krom would have still loved her(not that he ever actually did). Vanessa even going as far as saying that a concubine's child must always stay in the shadows and mustn't with the outside world .
When The Pope told Vanessa that her sins would be forgiven if she handed her stepson Teito over to him, she believed him. Together with the Pope, she killed another child and deceived everyone that Teito was dead.
However, she may have felt remorse for putting a slave mark on Tiashe's body, as she eventually confessed to Krom that she had given Tiashe to the Pope, who tricked Vanessa into believing that her sin would be forgiven if she handed Tiashe to him.
Others.
Unknown Royal Attendant.
She seemed to genuinely like Teito, and was willing to take care of him. She told Fea Kreuz and the Black Beast Squadron that she will keep an eye on him. After Kreuz was playing with Tiashe, she welcomed him back and wondered afterwards how Daphne petals got over him with a happy expression on her face. Tiashe often told her about what he was doing with others prior to coming to her or what his plans are for the day.
Agas.
Agas was caring towards and protective of Teito. Agas often played with Teito by throwing him into the air, in which he received Kreuz's elbow and wrath on one occasion. Agas, along with Karan, played in the water with Teito and made a rainbow using a hose pipe, much to Teito's awe and amusement, in which afterwards, he asked Teito to make three wishes before the rainbow would vanish.
When Teito was still a child, he affectionately called Agas as 'Akkun' and admired him to the point that he wanted to be big like Agas. This may be the reason why Agas plays toss-me-up with Teito as he (Teito) surpasses him by height.
Agas was extremely worried about Teito when it was revealed by Krom that Teito was serving as Pandora's Box. After Eye of Raphael's attack, he caught Teito first and prioritised his safety. When the ground fully collapsed, he fell to his death and was also hit by Raphael's attack a second time but not before passing Teito to Kreuz and ensuring that he was safe.
Mark.
Mark was kind and caring towards Teito. He protected Teito during the Raggs War. When Teito entered Raggs Castle, Mark appeared in a flashback where he answered Teito's question on what was falling on them; he responded snow. Teito then tells him that his hands are shivery and shortly afterwards, Mark breathes into his hands to make it warm. After Krom revealed that Teito was succesfully functioning as Pandora's Box, Mark was visibly surprised and desperately asked if it was no longer possible to save Teito, indicating his attachment to him.
When Mark was about to confront Hyuuga, he smiled one last time to Teito in order to reassure him and make feel at ease. He did not want Teito to be sad at all and highlighted that it was his pride to do this for him. This showed that he was willing to sacrifice his life for Teito's In return, Teito was also deeply attached to Mark by calling him affectionately with his nickname, 'Mar-kun'. Before he went to battle, Teito wanted him to catch up with them and made him promise, to which he answered, that his heart will always be with him.
Karan.
Karan was kind and caring towards Teito. He, alongside Agas, often played with him in the water when he was not guarding Krom and was, at one point, in charge of getting Teito to sleep and nap. Karan expressed surprise and worry when it was revealed by Krom that Teito was functioning as Pandora's Box.
He protected Teito during the Raggs War as they were ordered by Krom to guard Kreuz and Teito when they go the Seven Houses of God. Karan treasured Teito that he willingly gave his cherished muffler to him and asked him to take care of it until he returns from the battle.
Teito, in return, affectionately calls Karan as 'Ka-kun' and cares for him. This was shown when Teito thought that he had cold because of Karan constantly wearing a muffler and asked if he (Karan) was alright.
Mikhail.
Teito's body is what hosts the Eye of Mikhail . As such, Mikhail is able to take possession of Teito's body, as the Archangel's spirit lives within the Eye.
Mikhail is devoted to and greatly respects Teito , acknowledging him as his master. By Teito's own admission, it is revealed that Mikhail has been with him for ten years, ever since he was a child. It is also revealed that Mikhail used to play with Teito when he was a child, and he has said it was he who protected Teito's mind when Teito was forced to kill or confronted with death when he was young.
Mikhail developed true loyalty to Teito when Teito extended a hand to him and asked him to join him, instead of leaving him alone . Mikhail is also shown to be deeply moved when Teito thanks him for watching over him and supporting him the ten years they have been together, and hugs Teito tightly in response (Kapitel 82). Mikhail often constructs a heart out of the branch-like portrusions that extend from the Eye of Mikhail to portray his affection for Teito when either talking directly to him (Kapitel 82) or talking about him to other people (Kapitel 26).
Mikhail adores Teito and treats him with great respect and admiration, saying: "The one who loves you most is me", and is fiercely loyal to him. He compliments Teito's intelligence (Kapitel 83) and praises his beauty (Kapitel 8 and 26).
Mikhail is also very protective of Teito, as he will attack anyone who so much as threatens his master, and will do anything to protect Teito if it's in his power to do so. This was shown when he was very willing to kill Bastien for trying to kill Teito, rendered Haruse comatose for trying to separate the Eye from Teito, and kept Pandora's Box sealed within Teito's body. If it is not within Mikhail's power to protect Teito e.g. when the Eye of Mikhail and Teito were separated, Mikhail will do his best to use other means to ensure Teito's safety, as shown when he commanded Frau/Zehel to protect Teito during the Eye of Mikhail and Teito's separation. In Kapitel 79 , Mikhail accept to be brainwash after Ayanami reveals that Teito is wired to a machine that releases brainwaves that making Teito freaks out and feels uncomfortable .
Teito is deeply shocked when he realized that the Eye of Mikhail is broken and not responding in Kapitel 89 . According to Mikhail, this is due to the damage caused by Raphael , causing 'errors on all circuits'. Teito has shown that he also cares for Mikhail, as he asked Mikhail if he (Mikhail) is okay in Kapitel 90, and has thanked Mikhail for helping him during his days as a battle slave. In Kapitel 99 , the Eye of Mikhail is fixed when Ouka heals Teito, and Mikhail responds to Teito.
Raphael.
Raphael acknowledges Teito as the master of her fellow archangel, Mikhail, but apart from that, she has not interacted much with Teito so far. In Kapitel 86, Raphael says that she is very grateful that Teito woke Ouka up, and becomes tearful.
Verloren (Ayanami).
Teito and Ayanami have a rather complicated relationship, having a strong mutual dislike, yet also occasionally demonstrating mutual respect and genuine concern for each other's well-being.
It's revealed that Ayanami is Teito's uncle by blood . A brief flashback show Krom and Tiashe with the portrait of the deceased Raggs king (top left) with his wife and sons ( Krom , Kruez , Krowell ) . Millea Klein confirmed that Krom had at least two siblings ( Kreuz and Krowell ) . Krowell was deeply loved by his siblings , but died when he was young . Teito don't believed that there is a ridiculous story for Ayanami to be within his precious family.
Ayanami initially considered Teito an obstacle to obtaining Pandora's Box. After Teito's perceived theft of the Eye of Mikhail, Ayanami saw it as a challenge to the Barsburg Empire, and sought to kill him himself. Ayanami is always the superior out of the two of them whenever they fight and true to being Teito's nemesis, has done many things to make him suffer. In all those altercations, he seems to reveal a desire to have Teito give in to the darkness, as he always mocks his lack of dependence on his dark emotions. He is frustrated by his lack of success in corrupting Teito.
However, during Teito's time in the Black Hawks, Ayanami shows kindness to Teito several times, and demonstrates concern for his (Teito's) health. Ayanami also openly considers him to be the his most hard-working subordinate Ayanami rather than simply subtly returning the Eye to Teito and having him open Pandora's Box and then have him killed, Ayanami instead chose to keep Teito alive longer by killing Wakaba Oak, who would likely just simply kill Teito , who was unknown to Wakaba was Ayanami's nephew and the Pandora Box . Ayanami's act was uncharacteristic enough that even Kal noted the potential of Ayanami being strongly attached to his nephew and willing to kill anyone who tries to harms him. Near the end of the series, Ayanami uncharacteristically refused Teito's desperate offer of help and sacrificed himself to keep Teito safe, and Teito said that although he still found it hard to forgive Ayanami, he didn't want Ayanami to die because they are family.
As Verloren , he appears to like Teito or at least doesn't dislike him enough to want to hurt him . Teito notes that even though Pandora's Box was opened and Verloren has captured him , Verloren wasn't targeting or attack him .Teito remembered that it was the same way when he first became the Pandora's Box : Verloren hadn't tried to attacked or tried to hurt him either.
In the anime, Ayanami seems to have little to no personal resentment towards Teito but resents his softness and Teito hates Ayanami much more than in the manga. However, in their final battle, Ayanami has shown that he wishes to corrupt and recruit Teito, as when he confronted him, he said that he had a far more suitable job than a Bishop for him. He also taunts him to give in to his darkness, implying that not only does Ayanami want the information on Pandora's Box, he also desires to have him at his side, likely as he acknowledged that while Teito is no match for him, he is nevertheless very formidable and should he give in to the darkness, he will be even more fierce. It has been implied that Ayanami kept tabs on Teito to see his improvement and value whether he is worth of being his soldier or not, as he himself openly said that he knew how much Teito had changed and orchestrated their whole fight to see whether he is worthy of being his soldier or not.
Interestingly, despite their mutual animosity in the series, they seem to be somewhat friendlier towards each other in bonus material e.g. omakes and some of the drama CDs. Ayanami even once claimed that they cannot live without each other in the drama CD track "Escape".
Verloren's Scythe.
Teito Klein is shown wielding the scythe in Verloren's core.
The scythe views Teito as a potential meal, and describes his soul as "looking delicious" and eventually tries to force Frau to devour Teito's soul.
Eve.
Eve first meets Teito within Pandora's Box, where Eve seemed concerned with Teito's safety, and helps him by explaining the situation. Teito notes that although this is his first time meeting Eve, he feels close to her, as if he's met her somewhere before. She also wishes Teito good luck for his attempt to rescue Frau before she disappears.
Fans have long suspected that Teito is Eve's reincarnation. However, Kapitel 98 disproves this theory.
Guido.
Guido was kind and compassionate towards him. Guido met Teito when Fea Kreuz was teleported on the Floating Island H8 by Landkarte. Guido teased Teito by poking his cheek and, at the same time, was in slight disbelief that Verloren's soul resided in him, calling him a small 'brat' the same way Frau does.
Guido told Teito that when he goes beyond the Land of Seele, he (Teito) must tell the Chief of Heaven that he wants to be reborn again.
At the very end of the manga, Wahrheit Tiashe Raggs was reincarnated as Wahrheit Teito Klein suggesting that Teito (when he was a still a child) remembered what Guido had told him to do, even after 10 years, and may very well had treasured this memory however brief it was.
Kurena.
Kurena looked after Teito when he was under Miroku's care. She has a scar on her neck as punishment for her carelessness under her previous master. She cares for Teito a lot, as even after he has left the household, she still keeps all the gifts Teito brought her . Teito was shown to keep Kurena in his thoughts after deserting the military. She is the only female character in the series so far who's truly important to Teito, as she is the closest thing he has to a mother.
Capella.
Capella looks up to Teito and sees him as an older brother, using 'nii-chan' to address him. Frau says that Capella looks up to Teito as if he were the sun or 'his god', and Capella expresses that he wants to be like Teito when he grows up. Capella is thrilled with any and all gifts Teito gives him, and expressed a desire to spend his own money on Teito instead of himself. The two have been shown to care deeply for each other, and both cried when Teito had to leave to continue his journey.
Rutia.
Rutia was deeply grateful to Frau and Teito for enabling her and Capella to reunite. Teito was angry at Rutia at first for seeingly abandoning Capella, but after coming to understand Rutia's reasons for selling Capella into slavery, he was no longer angry and requested that Rutia never let go of Capella's hand again.
Karein Celestine.
Karein hugs Teito and cries when he first meets him in person, thanking him for saving Mikage (in an omake in Supreme Sugar, Teito saved Mikage, and a pillar fell onto Teito. When Teito was unconscious in the hospital, Mikage made a thousand senbatsuru, folded paper cranes Japanese people give to those who are sick to wish for them to get well soon or live a long life, and prayed hard to God that Teito would be okay).
Karein said that he has always been worried about Teito, as he heard Mikage say that Teito wasn't free (Kapitel 75). After Teito was rendered unconscious and brought back to the military by Ayanami, it is likely that Karein and the rest of the Celestine family were informed of his (Teito's) condition and whereabouts.
Kokuyou Celestine.
Kokuyou has a lot of respect for his deceased younger brother's best friend , Teito . They visit Mikage's grave together to pay their respects. When Teito confides to Kokuyou that he's missing his memories and can't remember how Mikage died, Kokuyou sympathizes with him and comments that it must be hard on Teito. He later scolds Kohaku, his younger brother, for being impolite to Teito.
Rinka Celestine.
In an illusion in the anime, Rinka seemed to be furious at Teito, seemingly blaming Teito for her brother's death as Mikage would not have died if Teito had not attacked a higher-up and escaped, so she wished that Teito had died instead of Mikage. Teito himself was visibly guilty and emotionally pained when she accused him of such and it is likely that even in the real world, he feels guilty for her. However, it is likely that this was just an illusion to make Teito give in to emotional blackmail.
In the manga, Rinka does not know the true nature of Mikage's death (it was reported that he died in a Hawkzile accident and his body was never recovered) and thinks well of Teito, saying that he is a good person and has clear eyes. It is also implied in the manga that she has a crush on Teito, though Teito seems unaware of this or prefers not to acknowledge it.
Kohaku Celestine.
They did not get along well at first, but Kohaku eventually warmed up to Teito and Teito was determined to protect both him and Rinka. Kohaku has voiced his support of a romantic relationship between Rinka and Teito.
Xingfa Hausen.
Xingfa was suspicious of Teito at first, seeing him as a threat to the Hausen House's reputation. His lack of care towards Teito resulted in him trying to kill Teito. However, Xingfa admits to Teito that his hatred was due to desperation from losing his wife, and their relationship improved after Teito set Lady Hausen's soul free.
Lady Hausen.
Teito's relationship with Lady Hausen is unknown, but it's hinted that they had a complicated relationship. Apart from her connection to the Attack at the Hausen House , Teito probably does respect Lady Hausen to some extent , since she is the beloved mother of Xing-lu Hausen , the thirteenth head of the Hausen household and the current Ghost Fest .
Lady Hausen had ambush Teito twice , imply that she might feel somewhat animosity and hostility towards Teito . She first attempt to attack Teito in the bathroom after enters his room and sensing the clothes thus thinking her son is also with them but find no sign of Xing-lu. Teito senses the presence and defends himself by knocking his attacker back.
Lady Hausen later attempt to ambush Teito the second time after unsuccessful attack him the first time . After sensing food , the Wars appears before Teito and Seilan, and Seilan attempts to save Teito by pushing him out of the way, but Seilan is unable to help Teito further as the Wars separates them and advances on Teito. Teito draws his Baculus but getting distracted thus resulting in Teito being dragged towards the Wars by the porcelain dolls the lady is controlling . In Kapitel 31 , while Teito distracted, the lady grabs Teito and begins to devour him. Teito holds her face and attempt to reassuring her by telling her that her son is alive and well and still loves her .
Hearing this, parts of the Wars's humanity begin to return; the lady begins to cry for her son, apologise for her actions and she begs Teito to save her. Teito uses his Baculus to purify her soul and, as she thanks Teito, her body dissolves into doves and lights, showing that her soul has been set free. Xingfa later appears, where he explains his actions was due to desperation from losing his wife .
Seilan.
Seilan at first thinks of Teito as an annoyance and a threat to the image of the Hausen House. He thinks little of Teito, assisting in the other servants' attempts to kill him, but after spending time with him, begins to respect him.
After spending times with Teito , Seilan begins to respect him . Seilan's new-found respect eventually leading to Seilan demands Teito to leave the room after remembering the trap , as well as defy the other servants in an attempt to save his life, and protest military intervention.
Once the Wars has been destroyed , Seilan and the other servants bows their head to Teito , and tells him to "come home soon".
Hausen House Servants.
It is hinted that at first, Teito and Hausen household servants were on fairly bad terms . When Seilan wanted to rescue Teito, they telling him (Seilan) not to interfere with Lady Hausen's meal, and they were quick to threaten him if he did.
After the Wars has been destroyed , the servants and Seilan bow their heads to Teito , and tell him to "come home soon".
Burupya's Mother.
At first, she was angry with Teito and Frau for taking her child away from her. However, when she saw that Burupya was happy with Teito, she accepted her son's decision and allowed him to stay with his new friend.
Kururu.
Kururu was rather rude to Teito the first time they met, but eventually warmed up to him.

fandom.07ghost | # Teito Klein/Trivia
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Teito Klein, born Wahrheit Tiashe Raggs, is the main protagonist of the anime and manga series 07-Ghost.
He is first introduced as an amnesiac and a former battle slave who was captured by the Barsburg Empire and was considered to be the military academy's star pupil. It is later revealed that he is a prince of Raggs. Teito is also related to the Antwort Family through his father's union with Vanessa Antwort. Through his mother and maternal grandparents, he can claim descent from the Barsburg Family as well.
Etymology.
In German and Dutch, "Klein" means "little" and "Wahrheit" means "truth".
Teito (帝都) means "imperial capital".
The "Tei" in Teito (帝) means emperor, while the "Ou" in Ouka (王) can mean king, despite Ouka being the one belonging to an empire and Teito a kingdom. When put together, "Teiou" (帝王) means emperor or sovereign.
Early 07-Ghost.
Teito Klein was first seen as the main character in the pilot chapter Seven Ghosts. His general appearance, backstory and character remained relatively unchanged for the final release of Kapitel 1, though there were some small changes between the release of Kapitel 1 and the release of Volume 1.
Teito's physical appearance went through some minor changes. Other characters' perception of his appearance has changed, as an early Teito was regarded by other characters as very effeminate-looking. This is no longer an issue in the finalised series, despite his face looking identical to the one early Teito had. Although his face has remained the same, Teito's hair and eye colour were both originally intended to be somewhere between blue and green, though this was changed sometime during the creation of volume 1. Early Teito had a seal for his zaiphon on his forehead, but this was changed to a sklave brand and moved to his lower back.
The Seven Ghosts story required Teito to live as a girl within the Church, and don a nun's habit in order to disguise himself. This idea was dropped entirely in the completed storyline. However, Teito's past as the descendant of the royal line of Raggs and wielder of the Eye of Mikhail is kept the same, as is his friendship with Ciel (whose name would later be changed to Mikage) and assassination attempt on Ayanami. His bullying at the hands of others in the academy did not appear in the pilot.
During the course of the chapter, the military invades the Church, and Teito fights with an early version of Lloyd, unleashing the Eye of Mikhail and killing him in the process. It is Lloyd who puts the promise collar on him during the fight, not Mikage possessed by Ayanami. Frau becomes the master of Teito, as normally happens. The promise collar's effect is changed also, as in the pilot Teito would be turned into a dragon (very similar to the one Mikage would later be reincarnated as) if he disobeyed Frau's orders.

fandom.07ghost | # The Black Hawks
The Black Hawks is a military unit mostly comprised of powerful Warsfeil, where they serve as the Barsburg Imperial Army's 'trump card'. They are led by Ayanami , who was the Barsburg Army's field-marshal. The Black Hawks' job is to protect the Barsburg Empire from any threat, even at the cost of their own lives.
The Black Hawks have been shown to be feared by many of the soldiers to the point where human soldiers refuse to fight alongside them, as Warsfeil are thought of as monsters because of their abilities, and some of them kill even Barsburg soldiers when they think they block their way during a war (e.g. Hyuuga) or when they think they are at fault (e.g. Ayanami).
When The Black Hawks are first introduced, the group consists of six members: Ayanami, Hyuuga, Katsuragi, Haruse, Konatsu and Kuroyuri. However, in the ongoing manga, new members are Shuri Oak, Yukinami, Suzunami and arguably Teito Klein, though Teito has since defected and Shuri is disliked by the other Black Hawks.
Uniform and Members.
The standard Black Hawk uniform consists of a black, or dark blue, ankle-length overcoat with golden trimmings on the chest, sleeve cuffs and neck guard. They wear black trousers, knee-length, black, buckled boots and white gloves. They also wear plain white shirts under their overcoats and have a small half mantle hanging off the left shoulder emblazoned with the Barsburg military insignia and a golden shoulder board on the right.
Alliance.
It is shown that they obey Chairman Miroku's secret order (on the surface), but it's unknown whether it is due to the fact that Ayanami is grateful to Miroku for helping him in his career or the group is officially under Miroku's supervision.
Ability and Weaponry.
Admission.
Keeping with the Black Hawks's status as the "trump card" of the Imperial Army, they are selected on their skill and fighting ability, with only the strongest being allowed to join. It is shown that normally people apply to join the Black Hawks via application, but exceptional members have been scouted.
Criteria.
A quality that is thought of as a necessity is being a Warsfeil, being able to manipulate a form of dark magic, though this has been side-stepped by Konatsu, who is a normal human, and Yuki, Suzu and Teito, who are only able to wield Zaiphon. Those who are not Warsfeil must be able to more than make up for this disadvantage.
Weaponry.
Only a select few of the Black Hawks are armed with swords, the swords vary in style but all have the same purpose of channelling Zaiphon at an opponent.
History.
Origin.
While there is no official date given for when the group was formed it is widely presumed to be several years before the war with Raggs.
The manga reveals that an Emperor (sometimes translated as King) of the Barsburg Empire (unknown if it's Wolfram Eifeler Barsburg) ordered the execution of all Warsfeil in the kingdom so there is no possibility that they could use their abilities against him. However, he decided to keep a small group alive, consisting of the most powerful Warsfeil, under the instruction that they serve him whenever their help is needed in return for their lives.
Three powerful Warsfeil (Ayanami, Hyuuga, and Katsuragi) and Ayanami's deceased begleiter Yukikaze (whose species is still unknown and who has not been confirmed to be a Warsfeil) founded the Black Hawks.
During the War with Raggs.
It is shown that the King of Barsburg ordered the Black Hawks to go after and kill the King of Raggs and the other royal family members to retrieve the Eye of Mikhail possessed by them.
Post Raggs War.
Since then, the membership of the Black Hawks has apparently changed, with the group gaining and losing associates. Ayanami, Hyuuga, Katsuragi and Yukikaze are thought to be the earliest members of the group, and the first three fought in the Raggs War. The group's youngest member, Kuroyuri, seems to have joined the Black Hawks after the Raggs War. Haruse is thought to have joined a year or so after Kuroyuri, as the youngster was shown to have not aged much when the pair met. Konatsu joined after Haruse, and it seems that he has not been a member for very long when the series starts.
After Ayanami's Death.
In the wake of their leader's and Katsuragi's demises, Haruse and Kuroyuri retired and the Black Hawks presumably disbanded.

fandom.07ghost | # The Cuvere
The Cuvere is a place built byThe First Generation of the Seven Ghosts, where Ghost vessels record their memories for future reference. Only the Seven Ghosts and the Pope can enter the Cuvere. Before reincarnations of the Seven Ghosts enter the Cuvere, they must present their scythes as an authentication code. While inside, they are allowed to look at the records, but are not allowed to change anything.
When an object is brought close to one of the walls of the Cuvere, it will be eaten by the wall. Castor once commented that the Cuvere, being the place where The Founders (the first generation of Seven Ghosts) sleep, never fails to unnerve him.
Later in the series, it was revealed that when Ayanami attacked Teito and Frau during the Hawkzile Race, a jacket made of fibres from the holy Cuvere tree that Frau had been wearing protected him. It is presumed that the mentioned holy Cuvere tree has a connection to the Cuvere itself. Therefore, the Cuvere can also be assumed to fulfill a protective function for the Ghosts.What happened to the Cuvere after the Ghosts lost their powers has not been revealed.

fandom.07ghost | # The Day of Retribution
The Day of Retribution is the second Drama CD. It was released on an unknown date during February 2009. It featured many of the same voice actors that reprised their roles for the anime.
The second Drama CD is comprised of six tracks in total: two featuring the Church clergy, two featuring the Black Hawks, and two bonus tracks featuring the cast talk.
Tracks involving Clergy.
Track 1.
Track one features the special appearance of Mikage. Teito and Hakuren are trying to wake Frau as it is their (Frau and Teito's) turn to do the cleaning duties. Frau escapes after convincing Mikage to swap cleaning duties with him in exchange for porn. However, when Teito catches Mikage with it, he tries to teach Teito how to appreciate porn.
Track 2.
Track two involves Teito dragging Mikage to see Castor and Labrador because Frau had bribed him with porn and escaped from his cleaning duties. But when Castor confiscates the porn, they find a note of Frau's undying confession of love for an idol. Hakuren then barges into the room with a letter in hand, and they realize that it is the second half of Frau's note.
After they were done reading, Frau enters the room frantically, stating that he had left behind something important. Mikage accidentally quotes a sentence from his confessions and Frau realizes that they have read his love note. Castor accuses him of bribery, to which Frau blurts out that he had to attend a commemoration that marks the 50th anniversary of his idol's debut. Castor then makes an offer to him: he will only return his note if Frau takes charge of next week's cleaning duties. Frau agrees and runs off to meet the idol with his love note in hand.
Tracks involving the Black Hawks.
Track 4.
Hyuuga is summoned into Ayanami's office where he is tasked with getting the confirmation date and preparations for the Chairman's Platinum Jubilee. Finding the entire event a pain, Hyuuga decides to dump the work on Konatsu by saying that it is a special request from Ayanami. Not knowing what a Platinum Jubilee is, Konatsu starts by gathering the appropriate information.
Sometime later, Kuroyuri and Haruse finds a near insane Konatsu and decides to help. Konatsu explains that he is trying to come up with a speech for the Chairman's Platinum Jubilee, proudly enlightening them that it is the celebration to mark a 70th anniversary. The trio then comments about Miroku's age as neither of them believe that he is that old. However, Kuroyuri gets distracted during their discussion and later leaves with Haruse because he/she is hungry.
When Kuroyuri and Haruse return, they see Konatsu still racking his brain over the speech, and he/she tries to comfort him by saying that he doesn't need to overwork himself as Miroku probably wouldn't live much longer. Konatsu mistakenly thinks that Miroku is going to die.
Katsuragi finds a rather pale Konatsu whom explains that the Chairman doesn't have much time left. He is startled by the news and informs Konatsu that they need to inform everyone because Miroku's funeral is of utmost importance. Konatsu comments that the Chairman isn't dead yet but Katsuragi assures him that they are just taking precautions.
Track 5.
Katsuragi decides to consult Ayanami in regards to Miroku. However, upon knowing that the Chief of Staff hasn't eaten anything since the evening before, Katsuragi offers a health wine to him. Ayanami reprimands him, saying that a soldier shouldn't hide such things in his uniform. Katsuragi reveals that he had intended to give the health wine to Miroku. Ayanami then says that the preparation preceding to the Chairman's case should be completed. Katsuragi informs him that he has heard that Miroku's health is not optimistic.
Ayanami asks why and Katsuragi reveals that he had heard a disturbing rumor. Ayanami questions the source of the rumor to which Katsuragi informs that he had heard it from Konatsu. Ayanami realizes that Hyuuga had dumped his work on his subordinate, and asks Katsuragi to bring him over.
When Hyuuga enters the room, Ayanami sees the abnormal position of his sunglasses and realizes that he had been sleeping on the job thus punishing him. He then demands to know why Konatsu was handling the case that he had specially asked him to do. Hyuuga tries to trick Ayanami into believing that he was feeling hungry and only asked Konatsu to assist because he looked bored.
Suddenly, Konatsu barges into the room and informs them that Miroku had told him he was not even seventy, and that his birthday isn't till half a year later. Ayanami is angry as he had instructed Hyuuga to get the confirmation date. Just then, Katsuragi gets updated with the latest report stating that the Chairman has received a telegram of condolence because of the rumor. Hyuuga blames Konatsu and doesn't feel any remorse because he is his begleiter and should comply to his wishes.
Ayanami then points out to Hyuuga that those words can only be said by bosses who are able to remain calm and hold a level of respect for his subordinate. Hyuuga disagrees, stating that 'Aya-tan' often whips, reprimands, and does many other offensive things to him. Ayanami sends him flying out of the window with his zaiphon where he lands in the middle of a battlefield that Kuroyuri and Haruse are at.

The Founders are the very first generation of Seven Ghosts. In the manga, they are said to be the most powerful generation of Ghosts, because their bodies are of Heaven.They have been laid to rest in The Cuvere and seem to have an unsettling presence even in death.
They are the progenitors/ancestors of the Seven Houses of God.
Appearance.
In their true forms, they appeared as skeletons dressed in long, voluminous, hooded black cloaks. Their human forms were never shown but they presumably looked at least somewhat like their descendants.
History.
In the wake of the goddess Eve's death, Verloren became insane and massacred humans. The Chief of Heaven created and dispatched the Founders to punish and defeat him, aided by the Eye of Mikhail and Eye of Raphael.
The Founders married humans and spawned seven supernaturally endowed bloodlines: namely, the Verius Family, Hausen Family, Krat Family, Oak Family, Raggs Family, Barsburg Family and Reuen Family.

fandom.07ghost | # The Land of Seele
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
The Land of Seele, also known as simply Seele, is the edge of the world. It is listed in the map as a frontier region. The Land of Seele can only be accessed with the help of the seven 'cursed tickets' (呪いの切符) obtained from each of the Seven God Houses. The traveller of Seele exists to judge the God Houses.
According to Zehel (Guido, not Frau) in Kapitel 68, on the surface, the Land of Seele is said to be a holy land where, if one enters, his body ceases to exist and his soul will be purified no matter what terrible crimes he has committed or how corrupt he is. There, the Chief of Heaven will grant someone a single wish.
Nonetheless, the truth is that it is a forbidden land which is found only after one passes through the gates of hell. It is a system designed by the Chief of Heaven to eliminate Verloren. So it is Verloren's execution ground, and he was imprisoned in a crusade known as Schedel's crusade.
One cannot take anything, apart from oneself, when one enters the Land of Seele. Thus, in the past, the Seven Ghosts have all failed to take Pandora's Box with them into the Land of Seele.

fandom.07ghost | # The Love Letter Which God Receives
The Love Letter Which God Receives is the first Drama CD. It was released on an unknown date during February 2007. It featured many of the same voice actors that reprised their roles for the anime.
The first Drama CD is comprised of seven tracks in total: three featuring the Church clergy, two featuring the Black Hawks, and two tracks featuring all characters in the Drama CD (minus a new female character and two new male characters).
Opening track.
Track 1 involves all of the characters featured in the Drama CD (minus the Two Brothers and Riria) on a Ribidzile destined for the Barsburg empire. It serves as an introduction for the rest of the CD, where the characters explain about the navigation controls as they fly overhead the seven giant, floating districts.
Tracks involving Clergy.
The main portion of the Drama CD consists of tracks involving the clergy of the Church. It also introduces a new female character. The journey of the clergy takes up tracks two, three and four.
Track 2.
Track two involves the three Bishops, Teito, Burupya and Hakuren discussing the hot springs in District 7, where Teito and Frau are to be working at. The Bishops warn Teito that the Imperial Army is still on the watch so they mustn't let down their guards. Frau starts arguing with both Teito and Castor about the Promise Collar and Castor's nature respectively, but stops when Labrador becomes upset. As Labrador and Castor leave, Teito cannot help but feel something bad will happen. He then monologues on his years in the Academy, his past as a sklave and his relationship with the King of Raggs.
The clergy are busy packing, and Castor uncovers Frau's porn stash in one of his suitcases, burning them all to Frau's horror. In order for Teito to leave without being recognized, he is forced to wear a nun's habit.
When they all get to their destination, they are inspected by the border control, who realize Teito is not a nun. When Hakuren suggests they break through the barriers, the guards notice their escape and open fire, sending Teito and Hakuren's Hawkzile into the ravine below.
Track 3.
Track three follows Teito and Hakuren as they venture through the forest in search of help. They come across a rather large building and are greeted by a girl whom offers them free lodging for the night. She then introduces herself as Riria, the owner of the hotel.
Riria is intrigued by Hakuren's appearance, explaining to him that he reminds her of someone she knew. She then brings them into a luxurious room where dinner had already been prepared and served. Riria leaves them to their meal but Teito is suspicious of her kind hospitality. Hakuren then leaves to find Riria to borrow a map.
Hakuren finds Riria mumbling to herself and asks what is wrong. She explains that her lover had passed away a long time ago. Hakuren offers a prayer for his soul but Riria says that is unnecessary. She then tells Hakuren that she had been waiting for him. A pair of skeletal wings sprouts out from Riria's back, and Hakuren realizes that she had been possessed by a Kor.
The Kor speaks to Riria and lures her into making a second wish. Riria wishes for Hakuren to always stay by her side. Teito finds them and manages to grab hold of Riria. But Hakuren tells Teito to let go, stating that he will protect her. Riria reveals that Hakuren looks like her dead lover, and that they will never be apart again.
Riria proceeds to attack Teito before Frau and Castor appear. Castor knocks Hakuren out while Frau prepares to destroy the Kor wings with Verloren's Scythe. Riria tries to stop Frau, because if the Kor disappears, she will slowly forget about her lover. Frau realizes that she is standing still in time. Teito suggests that she write a letter to her dead lover everyday so that she will never forget him. Frau agrees, as that way, her feelings for him will stay with her forever. Riria decides to heed their advice and says that she might have been waiting for someone to tell her these words. The Kor wings starts to break, and Frau shatters it with Veloren's scythe.
With the removal of the Kor, Riria begins to age as time catches up to her. Teito wonders why she didn't ask the Kor to bring her lover back to life. Frau explains that even the Kor cannot violate the final rest of the dead: they cannot meet with the dead or resurrect them. Just then, Burupya finds Teito and licks him. Upon seeing him, Teito realizes that the loss of a life can never be returned, and because of that fact, life is so precious to them.
Track 4.
The clergy arrive at the hot spring safely. But before they could enter the water, they find Labrador already in the mixed bath with a group of old ladies. Teito remembers that Riria had been staring at Hakuren after returning to her real form, and thinks that he is popular with older women. Hakuren denies it and states that Frau, who was receiving unnessary attention from the old ladies in the mixed bath, is the popular one.
Teito and Hakuren then talks about Riria. Frau tells Teito that he had the look of someone who just received a love letter. Teito denies it, and Frau states that he always receives a mountain of letters from the sisters. Castor reveals that they were not love letters but rather complains of harassment. Teito then says that Riria had been waiting for her lover's return in that place, but now, her words of love will continue forever, with her longing for him. And even if she writes those letters, there will come a day when she journeys to meet him with all of them in hand.
Tracks involving the Black Hawks.
Track 5.
Track five begins with Konatsu searching for Hyuuga, as he had seemingly escaped from work again. However, Hyuuga later flies out of Ayanami's room when he tried to persuade 'Aya-tan' to go to the hot springs. Konatsu does not believe that Ayanami punished Hyuuga because of that. Hyuuga then reveals that he had told 'Aya-tan' that his military cap grows on his head. And the reason why Ayanami didn't want to go to the hot springs was because his cap is a part of his body, and he didn't want the truth to be out.
Konatsu naively believes Hyuuga's words before Ayanami walks out of the room and claims that it doesn't. Hyuuga tells Ayanami that he needs some time to relax, and urges Konatsu to persuade him to go to the hot springs. However, Konatsu makes things worse when he tells Ayanami that he will not tell anyone that his cap is a part of his body. Ayanami whips Hyuuga instead of Konatsu, and asks him if he wants a holiday that lasts forever.
Konatsu then informs Ayanami that the meetings for that day and the next have been canceled as the higher-ups are suffering from food poisoning caused by the banquet from the day before. Therefore, Ayanami is to represent them at a two-day international conference held at District 7. Hyuuga gets excited as District 7 is famous for its hot springs. He says that they will be less worried if they see 'Aya-tan' having a holiday. Ayanami tells Hyuuga that he will think about it if Hyuuga can finish his desk work in an hour.
When the Black Hawks are on the aircraft, Konatsu comments that he is surprised Hyuuga finished all his desk work in an hour, and tells him to continue working hard like that. But Hyuuga explains that when he starts looking at the documents, it makes him want to chop something up. Konatsu then mentions that Katsuragi would have been able to join them if he wasn't food-poisoned. Kuroyuri tears up as Haruse couldn't come because he is learning calligraphy. Konatsu tries to cheer him/her up by offering him/her sour seaweed chocolates.
Hyuuga sees Ayanami working, and is told by 'Aya-tan' to open his luggage which was packed with documents. Konatsu unconsciously begins to work, causing Hyuuga to toss them all over the place in frustration. Hyuuga then tells them that they are here for a vacation and not to work. However, Ayanami whips, and reminds him that they are here to attend the international peace conference.
Some time later, Hyuuga, Konatsu and Kuroyuri are relaxing in the hot spring. Ayanami, in his military uniform, walks in, and tells Hyuuga that there is garbage to be taken care of. Konatsu throws Hyuuga's wash basin towards a rock cliff.
Two brothers come out of hiding, and reveal that they are going to take revenge on Ayanami for killing the rest of their family. However, one of them is killed by Kuroyuri's Wars when he calls him/her a little girl. Hyuuga then sends the remaining brother down the cliffs by slashing the ground he was standing on. With the garbage taken care of, Ayanami tell the Black Hawks to continue relaxing in the hot spring, and he is going out for a while.
Track 6.
Track six follows Ayanami, as he talks to the grave of his former begleiter, Yukikaze. Ayanami tells Yukikaze that he has left his subordinates behind, and that he loves it when it was just the two of them. He comments that he doesn't need anyone else by his side because Yukikaze alone, is his beloved begleiter. When Ayanami questions if Yukikaze was glad to have met him, Hyuuga comes out from hiding to comfort him.
Ayanami tries to get him to leave, but Hyuuga ignores him and instead, speaks to the grave and asks Yukikaze if he felt glad about protecting 'Aya-tan'. A gust of wind washes through the area as though Yukikaze was acknowledging his question. Hyuuga then tells Ayanami that he will protect him until he gets himself a new begleiter.
Hyuuga returns to the hotel, and explains to Konatsu and Kuroyuri that he took a walk with 'Aya-tan'. Konatsu then finds a box packed with many treats. When the trio realizes that it was meant for them, they tell Ayanami that they love him. However, Ayanami laughs darkly and informs them that he will be working them all to death starting tomorrow.
Track involving the Clergy and the Black Hawks.
Track 7.
Track seven involves the various casts of the Drama CD. Frau is acting as a host for the 'May God be With You' hour, delivered by the 'Barsburg's 7th Broadcasting Bureau'. With the help of his assistant, Teito, the duo are to help solve the problems of troubled young teens.
The first caller identifies himself as 'Mr. Sunglasses'. He explains that he cannot get along with his boss. 'Mr. Sunglasses', had bought a (magic) pot that could supposedly help him be on good terms with his boss but it never works. He had also painted his boss's room different colors according to the seasons. And during his boss' recent birthday, he and his colleagues had baked a cake shaped like his boss.
Frau tries to give some advice to 'Mr. Sunglasses' but they are interrupted when his boss finds him on the phone instead of attending a meeting. The call gets cuts off by a loud explosion, forcing Frau and Teito to move on to the next caller who calls themselves 'Dokuro'.
'Dokuro' says that he/she has someone that he/she likes but doesn't have the courage to confess. Frau tells 'Dokuro' that if he/she is a girl, writing a love letter would be a good idea. But if he/she is a boy then he should attack at night. The call ends when Teito attacks Frau for giving perverted advices that needed to be censored.
The broadcast enters a short commercial break where Castor advertises about a palm-sized amulet that could restore vitality, cure sore shoulders and mend broken couples; potpourri. Labrador adds that it has different fragrant scents. The 'May God be With You' hour then continues.
The final caller identifies himself as 'Mr. K'. He complains about his boss's laziness, and comments that his boss would often vanish suddenly and return, covered in blood. 'Mr. K' then mentions that his colleagues had baked a life sized cake for his boss's boss, 'Mr. A'. Just then, his boss enters the room soaked in blood. But before 'Mr. K' could question him, 'Mr. A' finds them, and Konatsu immediately hangs up the phone. Frau and Teito try to reestablish contact with Konatsu but to no avail.
The broadcast ends with 'Mr. Sunglasses' as the winner of the Zehel present. A worried Frau tells 'Mr. Sunglasses' to collect the prize if he is still alive.

fandom.07ghost | # The Pope
The Pope is a minor antagonist in the 07-Ghost series. He was the highest authority in the Barsburg Church, the ruler of District 7, and also appeared to be in control of the Imperial Guard. Due to the elusive Shadow Man's manipulation, he was responsible for the Raggs War when he caused Pandora's Box to be moved from a coffin to a human vessel, in an effort to gain Verloren's knowledge. His attempt was foiled by Fea Kreuz, who escaped with the box.
To cover up his crimes, he had the records changed so blame would fall on Kreuz and not him. Not even the Bishops of the Church or the higher-ups in the military knew the true extent of his crimes. Ten years later, he committed suicide. It is unknown who has replaced him as Pope, although it seems likely that he was replaced by Jio and eventually Wahrheit Teito Klein.
His name has never been shown or stated, and other characters simply address and refer to him as 'the Pope' or sometimes simply 'Pope'.
Appearance.
The Pope wore the traditional garb of a Pope.
Personality.
At first it appeared that the Pope was cruel and selfish, moving Pandora's Box into Teito's body, a dangerous and painful process, and letting the blame fall on Fea Kreuz. His insanity was such that he showed no guilt that his actions caused the destruction of a kingdom, and saw his crimes as necessary.
He displayed a cunning and manipulative personality from the start: foreseeing Vanessa Antwort's breakdown; manipulating her to hand over the child; rewriting his own past; and continuing to deceive the Ghosts into believing his innocence for a further 10 years. Even after the fall of Raggs, the Pope continued to seek Verloren's body. He expressed a desire to meet the holder of the Eye of Mikhail, finding "Verloren's body that was stolen", and manipulated all the Ghosts into carrying out his wishes.
However, it was later revealed that his wish, a genuine desire to help more people, was manipulated by the mysterious Shadow Man, meaning that he was presumably not cruel before the Shadow Man possessed him. After being possessed by the Shadow Man, he displayed the typical symptoms of the Shadow Man's victims, having wide, staring eyes and grinning maniacally. However, in his last moments, he did briefly regain control of himself, showing hints of how his personality originally was, and tried to warn Lance of the danger the Shadow Man posed.
Relationships.
Vanessa Antwort.
Vanessa respected and trusted the Pope, but he did not reveal to her his plans to revive Verloren, and took advantage of her emotional vulnerability to trick her.
Lance.
Lance appeared to be fairly close to the Pope. The Pope informed Lance of the theft of the Eye of Mikhail before Lance arrived at the Church for the Bishop's Apprentice Exam, and Lance confronted the Pope about his (the Pope's) actions during the Raggs War.
History.
The Pope has held this title for over ten years, and was responsible for causing the Raggs War as Barsburg attacked Raggs after the Pope claimed that Fea Kreuz of Raggs has stolen the Pandora's Box, while the truth is that the Pope was the one who had stolen the Box in the hope of reviving Verloren. He wanted to revive Verloren because he felt that if he obtained all the wisdom of the world, he would be able to help more people.
Teito's abduction and Pandora's Box.
Possibly familiar with her character, the Pope foresaw Vanessa Antwort's break-down and discovered her in one of the Church dungeons, tormenting the King's son whom she had earlier kidnapped.
Using her fear of punishment against her, the Pope manipulated her into following his plan- stating it was the only way she would earn God's forgiveness. Vanessa agreed, and the two of them killed another child that resembled Teito (which they did by throwing out of a Church tower) and blamed Teito's caretaker for neglecting to watch him properly. This ensured Vanessa avoided punishment for the death of 'Teito', but in return Vanessa had to give Teito to the Pope.
Manga synopsis.
Bastien's death.
He is first seen receiving information on Bastien's corruption from the Guardians of the Bridge of Trials, but does not react.
Capture of the Eye of Mikhail.
When the Black Hawks infiltrate the Barsburg Church and steal the Eye of Mikhail, the Pope allows them passage through the District when Labrador informs him.
The Pope later holds a meeting with the three Bishops, amused that they were unable to protect Mikhail's Eye. He adjourns the meeting, hoping that they will soon be able to unleash the Eye and get Pandora's Box.
He was never held accountable for his criminal act until moments before his death, more than ten years later. He was almost being driven insane by the Shadow Man.

SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
The Raphael Project was a series of brainwashing and cloning experiments performed on the Eye of Raphael and its wielders, resulting in the wielders of the Eye of Raphael tending to be cursed with short lifespans. Dalia Barsburg and Ouka's original body died young as a result of the experiments. In Kapitel 85, Ouka, while possessed by the Eye of Raphael, killed Nanase, and freed the other clones from their pain and suffering by destroying them, thus bringing an end to the Raphael Project.

fandom.07ghost | # Troll
Trolls are huge, lumbering, human-like creatures. They appear to be treated with contempt similar to Warsfeil as they were seen being used to fight like battle sklaves.
Trolls are quite capable of human speech, but unlike the other humanoid creatures in the 07 Ghost universe do not possess any special powers other than strength.
Etymology.
The English word "troll" derives from Proto-Germanic "truzlan", from "truzlanan". It means "ugly dwarf" or "giant". The creature "troll" is a supernatural being in Norse mythology and Scandinavian folklore. In origin, troll may have been a negative synonym for a jötunn (another Scandinavian creature).
Anatomy.
The Trolls in the 07 Ghost series tower over most characters, possibly being over 7 foot in height, having very muscular upper-bodies but appear rather gawky as a result of their long limbs. Their skin is a greyish colour, their features sharp and pointed, their noses large, and their ears are pointed and elven. Trolls have no eyebrows, instead having bony ridges, and have red eyes. They also appear to have fangs.
Troll are commonly seen wearing a one-piece vest/short-like combination, commonly in the colour black. The trolls are always seen bald, though it is unknown if they do not grow hair or their heads are simply shaved as part of their uniform.
Temperament.
The personalities of Trolls vary greatly. The first Troll introduced was shown to be very aggressive, but when several more were shown, they appeared more laid back in nature.
Ecology.
Their natural habitat is unknown. A few of them were seen in District 6.
Abilities and Attributes.
Due to their massive size, Trolls have exceptional strength and have been shown to cause extreme damage their surroundings, shattering the ground with their punches and leaving large holes in the earth. Although they have never been shown to kill anybody, students at military school gossip that cadets have died during the final exams (the exam being to kill a Troll), suggesting that they are more than capable of doing so.
Trolls have also been shown to be swift and agile, despite their large size and clumsy appearance, as one demonstrated acrobatic skill in the first episode.
Intelligence: Trolls were shown to be very intelligent, being capable of human speech and possessing knowledge of right and wrong.

| Troubled Frau |
fandom.07ghost | # Two Brothers
The Two Brothers are nameless, minor characters who only appeared in the drama CD The Love Letter Which God Receives. They attacked The Black Hawks in an attempt to avenge their family (who had been killed by Ayanami), but were ultimately defeated and killed by Kuroyuri and Hyuuga.
Personality.
Little is known about their personalities, though they can be considered reckless and vengeful, as they tried to kill Ayanami despite his status as a powerful Warsfeil, for the sake of avenging their family.
Relationships.
Unnamed family.
They clearly care for their family, as they were willing to risk their lives to try to kill Ayanami, a highly skilled and dangerous Warsfeil, in order to avenge their family.
History.
At some point in time (probably during one of the many wars Barsburg waged on other countries), the rest of the brothers' family was killed by Ayanami.
Drama CD synopsis.
The two unnamed brothers sneaked into the hot springs where the Black Hawks, who had gone there to attend an international peace conference, were bathing. Ayanami noticed their presence and alerted the Black Hawks. One of the brothers called Kuroyuri 'a little girl', causing him/her to become indignant and retort that he/she is not a little girl. Kuroyuri then kills him, and Hyuuga kills the remaining brother by sending him down some nearby cliffs.
Abilities.
The two brothers demonstrated some skill at infiltration, though Ayanami was quick to discover them.
| Two Brothers |
fandom.07ghost | # Ugur
Ugur is a minor antagonist in the 07-Ghost series. He is one of Rena's uncles.
Etymology.
'Ugur' is a common masculine Turkish given name, meaning 'luck' and/or 'auspiciousness'.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Ugur appears as a rather nondescript middle-aged man with short hair, a thin build and an average height. Being a noble, it is likely that he has pale skin.
Clothing.
He wore a long coat over a collared shirt and long pants.
Personality.
Ugur is greedy and ambitious, to the extent that he wanted his sister to die so that he could take her land for himself, despite the fact that he is already wealthy. He also shows an irresponsible side, trying to blame his wife for his misdeeds.
Relationships.
Family.
His sister and wife.
Ugur apparently does not care for his sister and wife. He tried to have his sister killed so he could claim her property, and tried to pin the blame on his wife for his misdeeds.
Rena.
Rena addressed Ugur as 'ojisama' (lit. 'honourable uncle-sama') even after his crimes were uncovered, showing that she respects him despite what he had done. Ugur does not seem to feel as much animosity towards her as he does towards his sister, Rena's mother.
Others.
Nyx.
Nyx is loyal and respectful towards Ugur, referring to him as 'Ugur-sama' and believing in his promise that if Nyx kills Rena's mother, he (Nyx) will receive one-fifth of the inheritance money.
History.
Early childhood.
Little is known about Ugur's early years. He was born a member of nobility and presumably grew up alongside his sister and their other siblings.
Adulthood.
At some point in his adult life, Ugur married an unnamed woman. There is a chance that the marriage was arranged, as marriages among the higher social classes of the 07-Ghost world tend to be. He and his wife do not have any children.
Manga synopsis.
He wished for his sister's death so that he could take her land for himself, and bargained with a Kor to fulfill his wish. After being possessed by the Kor, he gained the ability to reverse time, but only within the Almarz Residence's grounds. In the end, he, his wife and Nyx were arrested by the Imperial Guard and taken away from the Almarz Residence. He has not been seen again since.
| Ugur |
fandom.07ghost | # Ugur's Wife
Ugur's wife is an unnamed minor antagonist who only appeared in manga chapter 57. She is the wife of the nobleman Ugur, making her Rena's maternal aunt by marriage.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Her height and weight are unknown, but she is of average height with a slender build. She has short, straight, light-coloured (possibly blonde) hair with a full fringe that is parted on the left, large, light-coloured eyes, a large mouth, and a round face. Being a member of nobility, it is likely that she has pale skin. She wears lipstick.
Clothing.
Being a noblewoman, she wears modest and somewhat formal clothing.
Personality.
Though only seen briefly, she displayed a hot-tempered and careless personality, shouting at her husband while many people were watching and blurting out that she had murdered her sister-in-law. She shares Ugur's greedy ambition and viciousness, both of them being willing to use extreme means to achieve their goals.
Relationships.
Ugur.
She clearly does not have a good relationship with her husband. Although they worked together at first, he tried to blame her for all the crimes they collectively committed, claiming that it was all her doing. In retaliation, she insulted him and did not hesitate to quarrel with him in front of the Imperial Guard and their relatives.
Ugur's sister.
She apparently does not care at all for her sister-in-law, and murdered her.
Rena.
Details of their relationship have not been shown, though considering that Mrs Ugur murdered Rena's mother, Mrs Ugur and Rena probably dislike each other.
History.
Ugur's wife's history is largely unknown. At some point in her life, she married Ugur. Their marriage may have been an arranged one, as many marriages among the higher social classes are. They do not have any children.
Ugur's wife planned to help her husband gain ownership of the Almarz Residence, and one day, slipped a lethal poison into her sister-in-law's drink, in hopes of achieving this goal. Whether she knew about her husband's possession by a Kor is unknown, but she likely would not have cared even if she had known.
Manga synopsis.
She conspired with her husband in his plans to bring about his sister's death. In Kapitel 57, while arguing with him, she accidentally revealed that she had poisoned Ugur's sister. She, her husband and the servant Nyx were arrested by the Imperial Guard and taken away from the Almarz Residence. She has not been seen again since, and her current status is unknown.

fandom.07ghost | # Vanessa's Mother
| Vanessa's Mother |
fandom.07ghost | # Vanessa Antwort
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Vanessa Antwort is a minor antagonist and a in the 07-Ghost series. Born the daughter of King Antwort, she later became King Weldeschtein Krom Raggs's official wife for political reasons, making her the Queen of Raggs and Teito Klein's stepmother, as well as one of Ayanami's and Fea Kreuz's sisters-in-law.
Vanessa aided the Pope in his plans to revive Verloren, albeit unintentionally. It is likely that she died during the Raggs war, although the exact circumstances of her death are unknown.
Etymology.
'Vanessa' means 'butterfly' in Greek, and 'of Venus' in Latin. Venus is the Roman goddess of love, beauty, sex, fertility and desire. Venus's Greek counterpart is Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. Like many other members of the Greek pantheon, Aphrodite was prone to jealousy. This could be a reference to Vanessa's jealous personality.
'Antwort' means 'answer' in German.
Appearance.
Vanessa had long, fair hair styled into one large curl on the right side of her head and fastened by two dark, triangular, tasseled accessories. She had bangs that were curled inwards and long enough to reach her jawline. Her gown was long-sleeved with a dark, corset-like layer underneath, a very high collar that covered her neck, and a large oval-shaped jewel on her collarbone. She also wore a rather striking shade of lipstick.
Personality.
Vanessa's personality was rather similar to her father's. She placed a great deal of importance on social status and looked down on Millea for having a lower rank. She was also bitter, jealous and possessive, hating Millea and Tiashe to the extent of refusing to accept Krom's love for them. Vanessa was cruel enough to willingly sacrifice an innocent child to achieve her own goals. However, she did feel genuine remorse and eventually confessed her crimes. Like her father, she was prone to angry outbursts and often verbally abused others.
Relationships.
Family.
Weldeschtein Krom Raggs.
Although their marriage was arranged, Vanessa truly loved Krom and was rather possessive of him. However, although he was kind to her, he did not truly love her as he did with his concubine, Millea. Vanessa knew this and was almost driven to insanity as a result. Despite their somewhat strained relationship, Krom easily forgave Vanessa when he discovered her crimes, and was clearly shocked when she had a hysterical outburst over his love of Millea and Teito, indicating that he did not think badly of her.
Teito Klein.
Vanessa harboured a great hatred for Tiashe, seeing him as an obstacle to Krom's affection- as she knew Krom was reminded of Millea Klein whenever he saw Tiashe.
Vanessa wished that he had never been born because then Krom would have still loved her(not that he ever actually did). Vanessa even going as far as saying that a concubine's child must always stay in the shadows and mustn't with the outside world .
However, she may have felt remorse for putting a slave mark on Tiashe's body, as she eventually confessed to Krom that she had given Tiashe to the Pope, who tricked Vanessa into believing that her sin would be forgiven if she handed Tiashe to him.
Fea Kreuz: Vanessa and her brother-in-law Kreuz did not interact much. They have very few scenes together in the manga, and even when they were in the same room, there was usually someone else there as well e.g. Teito or Krom. His attitude towards her was formal and polite (on the surface), addressing her with the formal title 'Ouhi' (Japanese for 'Queen'), but he was also familiar with the negative aspects of her personality and did not hesitate to suggest that she might be guilty of something. Before the Raggs War broke out, Krom put Teito in the custody of Kreuz to keep Teito safe and away from Vanessa. Taking Kreuz's attitude towards anyone who hurts Teito into consideration, Kreuz was probably not on good terms with her, but kept his feelings well-hidden and did not openly show dislike towards her, though interestingly he still seemed just as shocked as Krom was when she had a hysterical outburst, implying that while he may dislike her, he is not truly cruel to her.
It is unclear if Vanessa knew that Kreuz was her brother-in-law. However, since Krom is stated to have been the only human in Raggs who knew about Kreuz's Ghost identity at the time, this is unlikely. Judging from their few interactions, she saw him as a mere priest and Teito's teacher.
Ayanami: Vanessa has never been shown directly interacting with her other brother-in-law, Ayanami, but he apparently knew about her, as he once talked to her father, and has mentioned her to Hyuuga. He is her father's killer, implying that he had no more respect for her than the other members of the Raggs royalty whom he killed. In fact, considering how Ayanami sees betrayal and hypocrisy, it is possible that Vanessa is Ayanami's least respected family member.
Parents: Vanessa's relationship with her parents has not been shown. So far it is only known that King Antwort gave Vanessa's hand in marriage to Weldeschtein Krom Raggs for political reasons. Considering that Antwort eventually seceded from its alliance with Raggs and stole Pandora's Box from Raggs, it is possible that, unlike his daughter, King Antwort did not like or respect Krom and Antwort's alliance with Raggs. Vanessa's mother has not appeared in the series so far, and nothing is known about Vanessa's relationship with her.
However, Vanessa can be considered as spoiled, since she needs others to change in order to cater to her instead of she changing herself or her plans to cater to others. In light of that, it is likely that either her parents have been indulgent of her, often yielding to her wishes, or they have been neglectful of her, so she grew up possessive and inconsiderate. probably the latter considering how quickly and unhealthily she was willing to latch on to a guy she was married off to even though she barely knew him and he mostly just ignored her for another girl. She very clearly has no idea what a healthy relationship is supposed to be like.
It seems likely that Vanessa's personality was influenced by her father's. He doesn't really seem to have cared much for her as he married her off to form an alliance with Raggs but then turned around and abruptly broke off the alliance, so he basically just used her as a tool to steal Pandora's Box.
Others.
Millea Klein: Vanessa was bitterly jealous of, and hated, Millea for having Krom's love. She did not respect Millea due to the latter's commoner status, and always referred to Millea as 'mistress', 'that mistress' or 'that woman' instead of using Millea's name. It is unknown how Millea felt towards Vanessa. In a long dream that Millea had, in which people she (Millea) once knew greeted her and informed her that Teito is still among the living, Vanessa was not seen. This could mean that either Millea also dislikes Vanessa, or is aware of Vanessa's animosity towards her.
The Pope
Vanessa appeared to respect and trust the Pope. When he told her that her sins would be forgiven if she handed her stepson Teito over to him, she believed him. Together with the Pope, she killed another child and deceived everyone that Teito was dead.
However, unbeknownst to Vanessa, the Pope had his own plans for Teito, and it is likely that she was unaware of the Pope's intentions to revive Verloren.
History.
Vanessa was born to the late King Antwort and (presumably) his queen, the latter of whom has no onscreen role in the series. Upon reaching adulthood, King Weldeschtein Krom Raggs was forced to marry her and did not love her, but she truly loved him.
Her husband was kind to her, and she was given the greatest consideration-Teito was kept away from her out of respect for her wishes. However, she was not satisfied with this.
Abducting Teito.
While initially pleased with Millea Klein's illness, Vanessa came to realise that Krom's love for his concubine would continue through his love for his son Teito Klein, who resembled her greatly. These feelings were further intensified by the King's announcement that Teito would be made the official heir to the Raggs Kingdom, despite being an illegitimate child. Maddened and heartbroken by the fact her husband would never love her in the way he loved Millea, Vanessa sought to dispose of the young Prince so Krom's love for Millea would die with his son.
When Teito Klein was left in the care of a Royal Attendant, Vanessa lured him away from his guardian by promising to help him find flowers for his father. She then took him to a dungeon and branded his back with a Sklave brand which would forever mark him as less than human. However, after doing so, she was overcome with fear- as discovery of her crime would likely result in her execution, and was thus easily manipulated by The Pope- who proposed they kill another child in Teito place and the Prince's attendant be used as a scapegoat. This would save Vanessa's life, but in return Vanessa would give the Prince to the Pope. Vanessa agreed.
She was shown to feel guilty about her actions. Although she initially tried to lie that she knew nothing, she eventually broke down and admitted what she'd done after Fea Kreuz and Krom asked her if she knew anything about where Tiashe was.
Her current status is presumed to be deceased.

fandom.07ghost | # Velne
Velne (spelling may vary by translator) is a minor antagonist who only appeared in a single chapter of the 07-Ghost manga series. She first appeared as the beautiful young human mistress of Velniza Castle. However, she was actually a Wars. Velne was eventually killed, and her soul was devoured, by Frau.
Etymology.
Velne is a fairly uncommon name in the Americas. In Lithuanian, velnes means Satan.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Velne first appeared as a slim and tall young woman. While her height is unknown, she was only somewhat shorter than Frau. Velne's hair was long, light-coloured, worn up and tied with a black ribbon. She had narrow, light-coloured eyes with long eyelashes.
Later, when it was revealed that she was a Wars, a pair of black wings, not unlike those of a bat, grew from her back, her eyes became black, empty holes, and cracks formed in her skin.
Clothing.
She wore a long, dark dress with a high collar. Notably, her clothing greatly resembles that of vampires in some popular depictions.
Personality.
While appearing as a human, Velne was flirtatious and seductive, using her looks and charm to lure potential victims. As a Wars, she was vicious and murderous. She can also be considered superficial, as she bargained with a Kor and became a Wars because she wanted to preserve her beauty, and she insisted on feeding on only men she considered attractive. Like all Wars, she was greedy and had a large appetite for human souls.
History.
Velne's history is largely unknown. At some point in her life, she bargained with a Kor, eventually becoming a Wars, and came into possession of Velniza Castle.
Manga synopsis.
Frau and Teito Klein temporarily stayed at Velniza Castle while participating in the Hawkzile Race, after Frau's body started to freeze while they were travelling through the mountains. Several other contestants also stayed there and became infatuated with her, but she rebuffed their advances. Meanwhile, Frau took a hot bath and Teito wandered around Velniza Castle; he somehow got trapped in a coffin. When Frau left the bathroom and saw that Teito had disappeared, he sensed that something was amiss.
The scene then cut to Frau sitting in one of the rooms in Velniza Castle, where Velne found him. After flirting with her briefly, he released Verloren's Scythe and Velne realised that Frau is one of the Seven Ghosts. Frau and Velne fought, and Velne said that Frau is 'the same as her' and therefore would be compelled to consume souls, as Frau is 'also made of a part of Verloren-sama'. Frau eventually killed her and devoured her soul.

Velniza Castle is Velne's home and served as her feeding ground. While most of the castle has an ordinary appearance, one of the rooms in the castle contains many coffins, showing the number of Velne's past victims. Teito was trapped in one of the coffins, but managed to escape.
The castle is mentioned to be a popular tourist destination.

fandom.07ghost | # Verloren
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Verloren is the God of Death in the 07-Ghost series. He was hailed as the Chief of Heaven's greatest and perfect creation, and presided over souls.
Etymology.
In Dutch and German, 'verloren' means 'lost'.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
In his true form, Verloren resembles a skeleton. In his human form, he looks very similar to Ayanami, appearing as a young man, though his exact true age is unknown. He has a single skeletal left wing that he can seemingly manifest at will; his scythe transforms to provide his right wing.
Clothing.
He wears a black cloak with a hood, and is always shown wearing the hood up. He has a series of plates with various designs on their surface around his shoulders, and a long ribbon or streamer of some sort hanging from the front of them. At least one of the designs on the plates appears to be the same as the mark left by Kor on the chest of humans who have made a contract with them. Around his head he appears to wear a circlet of some sort, though it's unclear whether it actually rests on top of his hood or if it simply floats around his head.
Personality.
Verloren is characterized by his sense of pride, referring to himself with the title that was given to him: a perfect creation. Possibly as a result of being addressed with this title, he defines himself as 'the perfect creation' and becomes offended and/or desperate when he is no longer seen as this. However, some of Verloren's arrogance may only be his stating the truth.
Before Eve's death, Verloren was shown to be calm, logical and reserved, similar to the personality of his current vessel, Ayanami. Eve insisted that, despite this, he was a kind person, as he created flowers to help ease the suffering of the dead. Due to Eve's positive influence, Verloren eventually began to get more in touch with his own emotions, and eventually learned to express them.
The fact that he caused the death of his beloved had a considerable effect on his sense of judgement, causing his sanity to slip into madness. Desperate to find his love again, Verloren denounced his duties as the Chief of Heaven's greatest creation and fled to earth, where he began endlessly killing humans to search for Eve's reincarnated soul, threatening that he would kill all the humans until she could be found. Even after being reincarnated in Ayanami, a different body, Verloren still appears to be insane, having wild eyes and grinning manically, when Labrador said he would never have his lover again.
Strangely enough, although he grieved Eve's loss, Verloren doesn't appear to feel guilty about causing his beloved's death: when accused of murdering her, Verloren simply says that he should have killed her sooner. His seemingly callous attitude towards the deaths of his loved ones is eventually revealed to be caused by his desire to "get ahold of a perfect love".
Verloren still seems bitter and resentful about the creation of the Seven Ghosts, insisting or mocking that the Ghosts are 'just his fragments' or "just my replicas" when meeting with Profe, Fest and Zehel (e.g. chapter 70).
Relationships.
Superiors.
Chief of Heaven.
Before Verloren's fall from grace, he was loyal and obedient to the Chief of Heaven, carrying out the duties that the Chief had assigned to him and acknowledging the Chief as his creator. Verloren also did not protest the Chief's decision to execute him , though he did initially disagree with it in his thoughts.
It seems that Verloren began to hate the Chief when the latter accused him of killing Eve and sent the Seven Ghosts to punish him. Even after a thousand years, Verloren still hates the Chief (e.g. in episode 19, he smiled at Castor mockingly, saying "There is no God in this world"). He has also said that he prays for the "death of God".
Despite their mutual dislike, though, the Chief is implied to have pardoned Verloren by the end of the series.
Eve.
Verloren's was deeply in love with Eve, learning to comprehend human feelings as he carried out his duty in the human world. Regardless of his romantic feelings, Verloren respected Eve as someone he could talk with on equal terms.
In an effort to get him to embrace his own feelings, Eve taught Verloren about the importance of expressing his emotions, which she believed would help him understand himself and other people better. Her efforts appear to have paid off, as Verloren eventually began to understand his own feelings and even learned to express them.
It is shown that Verloren disliked seeing Eve unhappy, and that he let Eve tease him, though he was occasionally exasperated by it. However, he also expressed annoyance at her continuous visits, grumbling to himself that she distracted him from his work. Verloren was once shown wanting to reach out and touch her, but then just lowered his hand and quietly saw her off.
It's been confirmed that Verloren is Eve's murderer, grabbing ahold of her as she fell into him, dying in his arms due to his fatal touch. After realizing that he killed the woman he loved, Verloren began to slip into madness, laughing manically as he holds her corpse. Keeping his earlier promise, lays Eve's body in a field full of Flowers of Eden, which she found to be pretty, as the white petals reminded her of snow. He grieved her loss and felt guilty about causing his beloved's death. Having been deceived by the words of the Chief of Heaven, Verloren went mad in his search for her soul.
The Chief of Heaven accused Verloren of her death, and Verloren, sanity slipping, denounced his duties as the Chief of Heaven's greatest creation in order to search for her reincarnation on earth.
Verloren's driving force behind regaining his physical body was for the reason of finding Eve's soul. When Profe/Labrador tells Verloren/Ayanami he can never have what he wants again, a picture of Eve is in the background, and Ayanami is furious at Labrador's comment. Even after a thousand years have passed, Ayanami, the current reincarnation of Verloren, still wants to find Eve after regaining his memories as Verloren, and shows no interest in any other woman. He once declared to himself that once he regains his true body, he will definitely find her.
Eve's death was also the reason for Verloren's descent into madness. After Eve's death, Verloren became insane with grief and was inconsolable. His sole mission became to find her soul and reunite with it. He escaped to earth, which became contaminated with disease and plague in his presence, and began searching for her. Verloren became so obsessed with finding his love again that he was willing to kill everyone on earth down to the last person alive in an effort to find her. By the time his search was stopped by the 07-Ghosts, he had already killed hundreds, if not thousands, of people (chapter 46).
Vessels.
Ayanami.
Verloren's insanity has had an effect on his current reincarnation, Ayanami. Verloren does not seem to be very concerned about Ayanami's wishes and well-being.
Hyuuga mentioned that Ayanami is unable to sleep due to nightmares, some of which are likely brought about by Verloren's memories or personality. Whenever Verloren is controlling Ayanami , he (Ayanami) starts to behave much more irrationally than he usually would, becoming more ruthless and even showing signs of Verloren's insanity.
Followers.
His scythe.
Verloren seems to like his scythe as he is furious at Frau for possessing it . Ayanami warned Frau several times to look after the scythe as it will return to him one day . Frau is aware that the scythe misses its old master, as he had once said "you miss "him", don't you" to it. The scythe recognises Ayanami as its old master, and even obeys his orders over the orders of its current wielder. This was shown in Kapitel 70, when Ayanami commanded the scythe to stop, it listened and refused to attack Ayanami. His scythe also listens to Verloren's reincarnation.
Warsfeil.
Warsfeil are known for being Verloren's followers, and for having sold half of their souls to him. Ayanami has been shown to genuinely care for the Black Hawks, many of whom are Warsfeil. The Warren Family, a family of Warsfeil, have been shown to respect Verloren, referring to him as 'Verloren-sama', although Ayanami has probably not directly interacted with any of the Warrens, apart from Konatsu, before.
Kor.
The Kor, like the Warsfeil, respect Verloren and call him 'Verloren-sama'. Before his fall from grace, the Kor were also often seen with Verloren in Heaven. The Kor have a high amount of respect for Verloren and have been gathering souls for when he revives. They faithfully serve his current incarnation, Ayanami.
Fragments.
Zehel (Frau).
Verloren's hatred of Frau is that he is a 'replica' which is a great blow to Verloren's pride. Frau has also been wielding Verloren's scythe, and Ayanami warns Frau that the scythe wants to be with its true master and will soon return to him. Ironically, despite Ayanami's and Frau's mutual dislike, Frau eventually succeeds Verloren as the God of Death.
Fest (Castor).
Verloren apparently hates Castor as much as he hates Frau.
Profe (Labrador).
Comparing his attitude towards Frau and Castor, Verloren seems to like Labrador, possibly because Labrador looks very much like him physically, doesn't want to kill Verloren, and can understand Verloren better than other Ghosts
In Kapitel 46 , it is shown that Ayanami/Verloren did not hesitate to attack Labrador/Profe when the latter prophesied that he (Verloren) would not be able to hold Eve in his arms again, suggesting that though Verloren may be biased in favour of Profe, this bias is still limited. As with the other Ghosts, Ayanami/Verloren wants to devour Profe so that he (Ayanami/Verloren) can regain all of his original powers.
Others.
Teito Klein.
Veloren appears to be interested in Teito, or at least doesn't hate him enough to wish to harm him. In Kapitel 94, Teito notes that even though Pandora's Box was opened and Veloren has captured him, Verloren wasn't targeting or attacking him. Teito remembers that it was the same way when he first became Pandora's Box: Verloren hadn't attacked or tried to hurt him then, either.
Mikhail.
Little direct interaction has been shown between Verloren and Archangel Mikhail so far, but considering that Mikhail helps the Ghosts oppose Verloren by sealing Verloren's true body through the Eye of Mikhail, it is likely that he hates Mikhail as much as he hates the Ghosts. Verloren has probably known Mikhail for very long, both of them being gods.
Raphael.
Little direct interaction has been shown between Verloren and Raphael so far, but considering that Raphael helps the Ghosts oppose Verloren by sealing Verloren's memories through the Eye of Raphael, it is likely that he hates Raphael as much as he hates the Ghosts. Verloren has probably known Raphael for very long, both of them being gods.
Abilities and Attributes.
Verloren seemed to possess considerable agility, speed and strength, as during his 'fight' with Eve he was able to quickly block Eve's attack with a single hand when she attacks him. He also holds extradionary levels of power, as it took the combined power of the Seven Ghosts and two archangels (Mikhael and Raphael) to seal him away. As he is a god, Verloren is immortal, and his human form does not show his true age. Apart from his Scythe, which was what dealt the final blow to him, the Chief is the only one who holds the power to kill Verloren for good but decides not to.
Verloren also has the ability to create, as shown when he told Eve that he created the Flower of Eden, and like the Ghosts, can transform between his human and skeletal form at will.
Knowledge: According to Verloren and all other inhabitants of Heaven, Verloren is omniscient. However, there seem to be limits to what he knows; such as human standards of beauty, and is ignorant when it comes to understanding human emotions. Verloren is also quite naive when it comes to relationships, as he doesn't understand what it means to have something precious to protect, or why Eve would consider it important to talk to her father.
Like the other immortal beings in the series, Verloren is able to speak the language of the gods, as well as human languages.
Defect: According to the Chief of Heaven, despite Verloren being perfect, he had a "defect" that was highly contagious, and would turn not only his own body and soul dark, but also everything and everyone Verloren came into contact with would become "black like mud." Verloren was ordered to live in solitude until a cure was found, but it was later revealed that the defect was too serious to treat.
In manga chapter 97, it is revealed that the defect is a result of Verloren learning to love. The Chief of Heaven had created Verloren to be emotionless, so that he could fulfill his reaper duties 'without having his heart disturbed'. However, despite the efforts of the Chief, who planned to have him executed and was determined to make Eve forget about Verloren, the death god and Eve came to care for each other, thus, Verloren became 'imperfect' and developed a defect or 'bug'.
Scythe.
Verloren's scythe is both his weapon and his tool for work, as he uses it to attack others and to reap souls. Verloren seems to be fond of his scythe, as he always had it with him in his flashbacks, and the scythe is very loyal to him even in his reincarnated form, Ayanami.
History.
Creation.
Verloren is a shinigami (a death god), and was created by the Chief of Heaven to preside over souls.
Verloren's purpose was to sort the souls entering Heaven; allowing the pure souls to enter Heaven, but punishing the 'bad' souls by devouring them. Devouring the soul was a process that involved either sending the soul back down to earth to be reincarnated in a different body with no memories of their previous life, or sending them to purgatory. The worst souls which are irredeemable even by Verloren would be destroyed or sent to hell.
Imperfection.
An unknown amount of time after his creation, Verloren was told by the Chief of Heaven that a "defect" was found within him that would eventually turn both Verloren's body and soul "black like mud." The Chief of Heaven told Verloren that a remedy would be administered the next day, and ordered Verloren to remain in isolation until then. Due to the fact that his "defect" was highly contagious and would infect anything it touched, the Chief of Heaven forbid Verloren from meeting anyone until he was cured.
However, it turned out that Verloren's 'virus' was too severe to treat, causing the Chief of Heaven to become fearful of what Verloren would turn into once it took over his body.
According to Ayanami, Verloren's reincarnation, the "bug" is only found in shinigami who stray from the duties bestowed upon them by the Chief of Heaven.
Murder accusations and descent into madness.
The legend of the ghosts tells that Verloren was in love with the Chief of Heaven's daughter, Eve, but after her skeleton was found and her soul devoured, the Chief of Heaven accused Verloren of killing her. When Eve managed to get Verloren out of the prison cell the Chief was holding him in, the guards came and tried to block the two's path. Eve got in the way of the guards, causing them to impale her through the chest with a lethal wound. So, ironically, it was not Verloren who killed Eve, the the prison guards the chief sent to subdue Verloren.
As Eve's soul being devoured automatically forced it to be sent to earth and reincarnated, Verloren escaped the heavens and fled to earth to find her reincarnation.
Verloren began looking into the hearts of humans in order to find the soul that originally belonged to Eve. However as he looked, that person's heart was instantly tainted by his presence, and slowly slipped into despair. This meant those souls could not enter Heaven in this life because they were no longer pure, and they would be forced to reincarnate again once they died.
Schedel's crusade.
When the Chief of Heaven noticed the consequences Verloren's actions had on those souls he looked into, he fashioned seven heavenly lights out of Verloren's fragments, each with one of Verloren's powers, and sent them to execute him.
The ghosts drove Verloren to Seele, but were unable to destroy him. Faced with this, they instead used the powers of the two angel eyes (Mikhail and Raphael) to tear Verloren's soul from his body, in the hope that they never join again so he could never be at his full power.
They sealed his physical body in Pandora's Box on earth, and used the Eye of Mikhail to make sure it could not escape from its prison. They sealed his soul using the Eye of Raphael, putting his soul in a human- and forcing it to undergo a process of constant reincarnation whenever the human body died- regardless of how the person had lived their life- so it could never enter Heaven again.
Even though Verloren had been sealed away for 1000 years, the Kor, his messengers made up of the souls that were tainted by his presence, continue to find and contact humans, and try to taint their souls by bringing them under his influence.
Manga Synopsis.
Verloren is often seen in flashbacks throughout the manga. By the end of the series, he is implied to have been pardoned by the Chief of Heaven, as in his last moments, he sees white feathers all around him.

fandom.07ghost | # Verloren's Revival
Verloren's Revival happens after the Battle at Hohburg Fortress, and begins during chapter 93. It is the last battle to occur and the last event in the series.
Verloren's Revival.
After the Battle with Landkarte.
After fighting off Landkarte to defend Teito, Frau notices that Teito's soul is shining so brightly he has to physically shield his eyes from its intensity. Teito reveals to Frau that he wanted to see him one last time before the seal on Pandora's Box broke, and begs Frau to keep his promise and kill him to prevent Verloren's revival. Frau refuses and hugs him, telling Teito that he'll do something to save him.
Hyuuga's Survival.
Although initially thought to be killed by Landkarte, a goup of doctors come to examine him after the fight. A doctor pronounces Hyuuga dead, and says that they would be unable to bring him back to life. However, Konatsu refuses to believe the doctor's prognosis and insists Hyuuga's alive, causing the doctor to realize Hyuuga has a pulse. Konatsu then begs the doctors to restore Hyuuga to his original condition, even if they have to use Konatsu's limbs to do it.
Jailbreak.
Labrador, still in prison with Castor, senses something is happening with Teito, but doesn't specify what that something is. When Pandora's Box opens and the seal on their prison breaks, Castor and Labrador warn Kuroyuri and Haruse to escape quickly before they are caught up in Verloren's darkness. When Labrador and Castor reach where Teito is, they see Verloren's headless skeletal form, and realize that Verloren's soul needs to merge with his body for the resurrection to be complete. Castor notes that Teito's soul hasn't disappeared yet, and wonders if there's a chance to save him.
Landkarte's Redemption.
Teito is shown to be sinking through Verloren's core, where he sees a brief image of Eve, who leads him to Landkarte. Teito manages to save Landkarte, who, with some guidance from Eve, decides he wants to leave his darkness behind. Teito encourages him, saying that although he can't forgive Landkarte, his friend Ea is still waiting for him. As they climb atop some stairs, a voice calls to Landkarte that he's late.
The voice is revealed to be Kal's, who has been waiting for Landkarte. When Landkarte expresses confusion on why he's able to ascend to heaven, Kal informs him that it's the Chief of Heaven's will, as Kal didn't write anything about Landkarte's destination in his Book of Hades. Landkarte gives Teito his cursed ticket to express his gratitude for his help, and Kal sends Landkarte ahead of him to get a "severe scolding" from the Chief of Heaven.
Alone with his former charge, Kal thanks Teito for helping Landkarte, saying that the light shining from Teito's soul helped guide Landkarte back to the path of redemption. Teito asks whether the light came from the seal on Pandora's Box being broken, but Kal replies that the light comes from Teito himself. Kal explains the irony of the situation: a section of Teito's soul was sealed together with Pandora's Box, effectively hiding their "last hope" within the seal along with Verloren's body. Kal hypothesizes that Teito's light will also work on Verloren, and encourages him to find a way to escape Verloren's core. Before he ascends to heaven, Kal gives Teito one last gesture of affection by gently patting his head and smiling at him in farewell. Teito watches his former guardian leave and bids him, and Landkarte, farewell.
Frau's Predicament.
Scythe in the Throne.
After helping Landkarte and Kal, Teito sees Eve once more. He notes that although it's his first time meeting her, he somehow feels close to her, as if he's met her before. Noticing that Eve will disappear again, he calls out for her to wait. Eve leads him to Verloren's core, where she explains to him the gravity of the situation. She tells him that he's now inside Verloren's core, and that if his soul reunites with his core, then Verloren will be revived.
Teito notices Verloren's scythe has been stabbed into a throne, and realizes that Frau has become the scythe itself in an effort to stop the resurrection by sacrificing himself to save Teito. Teito gently touches the scythe and says out Frau's name, waiting for a response.
Eve confirms that Frau has indeed merged with Frau's scythe, and tells Teito that if Frau remains there, his soul will be sacrificed and he will become Verloren. Teito tries to convince Frau to stop his ridiculous actions, but Eve tells him that it's futile as Frau's rejecting all information from outside his psyche. Eve then says that if Teito wants to save him, the best way is to enter Frau's deep psyche to convince him on the inside. Teito decides that he'll do that, and concentrates. His surroundings slowly begin to fade as Teito becomes more in sync with Frau's psyche, and before Teito loses focus of her, Eve wishes Teito good luck on his mission.
Frau's Past.
Teito finds himself standing on some stairs before a pair of large doors. Teito, wondering if he'll find Frau on the other side of them, charges through.
To his relief, Teito finds Frau sleeping in bed, and tells him to get away from the scythe quickly. Frau wakes up and Teito notices that Frau is smaller. Frau assumes that Teito is a stowaway aboard Guido's Aegis, and informs him that stowaways are sentenced to death via hanging. Frau, indignant that Teito called him small, holds Teito over the side of the ship. Teito tries to convince Frau to wait and struggles in Frau's hold, only for Frau to ignore him. Frau tells Teito that he'll spare him from his hanging and tells him to get lost soon, dropping him into 3rd District's river.
Before Teito hits the water, he finds himself on the other side of the gates, his back flat on the stairs. He dazedly wonders at Frau's complete rejection of him only to come to the conclusion that Frau doesn't remember him or about his current predicament with Verloren's Scythe.
Teito tries to think of a way to persuade Frau to release himself from the scythe and bursts through the gates again.
Frau, startled at Teito's sudden appearance, screams in alarm and demands to know why he's there. Guido, annoyed at Frau's shouting, comes in, hits him and snaps that he's being too noisy. Frau, still upset and panicked at Teito's reappearance, tries to tell Guido about Teito, only for Guido to mistake his story as Frau having a "nightmare." Guido comforts Frau, telling Frau that he doesn't need to tell him about everything that happens to him.
Teito, recognizing Guido as the former Zehel from ten years ago stands in front of him and tries to tell him about Frau's current predicament with Verloren's scythe, only for Guido to walk right through him. Teito realizes that he must be watching a video of Frau's past and that Guido is unable to interact with him.
After his failed attempt to talk to Guido, Teito finds himself once more on the other side of the gates, and realizes that he will end up there each time he's rejected from Frau's psyche. Standing in front of the gates, Teito remembers that, although Guido couldn't interact with him, Frau could, which causes him to realize that his former hypothesis was wrong. He wasn't "watching "a video of Frau's past; he was actually participating in Frau's past ten years ago.
Teito resolves that he'll do something about Frau's predicament and goes through the gates once more.
Teito finds himself standing beside Guido, who is talking to a woman about how Frau is getting better at flying the Aegis, causing her to comment that Frau is a quick learner. Guido proudly confirms her comment, saying that Frau is a talented person or he wouldn't have set his eyes on having him as his student. A voice calls out to Teito, who turns and sees that the person who called to him is Frau.
Frau asks what Teito is, before demanding to know what he's doing talking to Guido. Frau insists that it's impossible for a "brat" like Teito to approach Guido so easily because Guido isn't an "old guy." Teito tells Frau that it wasn't like he was talking about anything with Guido and explains that he doesn't think he can interact with anyone other than him. After his explanation, Teito is silent for a few moments before coming to the realization that Frau is jealous. Teito becomes irritated and glares at Frau, who's confused at Teito's sudden change in mood.
Teito calms down and explains to Frau that Guido was praising him, saying that Frau's flying techniques were good. Teito then requests being able to talk with Frau some more, commenting that he's also interested in ships. However, Frau sighs and turns Teito's request down, saying that Teito acted "overfamiliar." He tells Teito that the crew (including himself) were busy and that Teito needs to get lost. Desperate, Teito grabs Frau's wrist and tells him to wait as he doesn't have much time and begs Frau to listen to what he has to say. However Frau glares at him and Teito finds himself once more outside the gates.
Teito realizes that if he tries to drag Frau out by force, he'll retreat further inside his own psyche. Realizing that he's panicking, Teito tries to calm down. He then begins to synchronize his breathing with Frau's and once more enters through the gates.
Frau exclaims that it's Teito again and demands to know why he keeps on coming aboard the Aegis as he pleases. Teito tries to apologize but Frau throws his book at him and hits him in the head. Teito thinks to himself that the gate is too random and wonders what exactly he should do, as if he tried to help Frau any further than his relationship with him would become uncertain. Teito then notices the thickness of the book Frau threw at him and realizes that it's a language book.
Surprised, Teito exclaims that Frau was actually reading a serious book, causing Frau to tell Teito that he's a rude person. Frau tells Teito that despite his appearance, he's already mastered four national languages. Teito is awed and tells Frau that he's amazing. Frau brushes off Teito's compliment and says that those four languages were only the beginning, as he wanted to learn as many languages as Guido, who has almost no language he can't speak and can interact with people from various countries easily. Frau says that his inspiration to learn as much as possible stems from his desire to be able to take part in Guido's business deals. Teito realizes that Frau looks a lot more like an adult when he's a child and realizes that Frau's pushing himself to the limits to try and be acknowledged by Guido, whom he admires.
To his surprise, Teito notices that Frau is studying the Raggs song. Frau is surprised that Teito can read it and asks if he can speak the Raggs language. Teito tentatively agrees, and Frau asks him for help with some grammar and vocabulary he's studying.
After all Teito's help, Frau says that Teito's unexpectedly good and asks Teito if he can translate a sentence for him. Teito does so, and informs Frau that it's a verse from the bible. Teito realizes that the verse is the same one that Frau dedicated to him two months earlier, when Teito was preparing to take the bishop exam.
Teito leans closer to Frau (too close for Frau's comfort,) and asks him if he feels nostalgic, but Frau insists that this was the first time he was able to translate the book properly. Teito questions whether Frau talked about the verse somewhere with someone. Before a confused Frau can answer, a voice calls out to Teito, asking if he wants power to tear everything into pieces and to be able to devour everything.
Desperate, Teito tries to warn Frau about the upcoming Raggs war, but is fast-forwarded in time to the Raggs war. Guido orders Frau to take something to the church and Frau reluctantly complies, knowing that something's wrong as Guido isn't teasing him like he usually does. During his escape, Frau meets up with Teito, who calmly informs him that the reason Guido sent him away is because he wants to keep Frau out of danger, as the Aegis is being targeted by the Barsburg's air fleet.
Frau then meets Magdalen, who anxiously tells him that he should be heading for the church, but Frau insists that he doesn't want to be abandoned. While Frau and Magdalen are running towards each other, Teito, whose following Frau, senses the Aegis being fired upon and screams for Frau to take cover. As the explosion hits, Teito is thrown out of the gates and almost falls off the stairs, but manages to keep from falling. Dangling from the stairs, Teito screams Frau's name.
Teito sees blood coming out from Frau's gate and, believing Frau's hurt, immediately re-enters. He sees that Frau is still alive, having been shielded by Magdalen, who tells Frau that he has to live on because he's Guido's hope. Magdalen dies of her injuries and Frau immediately goes to check on Guido. Frau sees nothing left but Guido's hand on the Aegis' steering wheel, and screams in horror.
Frau begs for anyone of the Aegis crew to answer him, but receives no response. Realizing that Guido is dead, Frau begins to slowly loose his mind to despair, thinking that there's no hope left without Guido. He decides that he will stay on the Aegis to keep it afloat despite the fact that the Barsburg fleet is going to attack again.
Before it can happen, Landkarte appears and takes advantage of Frau's insanity, tempting him with the power of Verloren's scythe "to destroy and devour everything." Landkarte then puts Verloren's scythe in Frau, who destroys one of Barsburg's fleet ships, while Frau proclaims that there's no hope left even if he finds a certain soul.
While Teito is watching this happen, he notices Verloren's hand trying to grab Frau, and immediately tries to convince Frau that there's hope left. Teito tells Frau that he will become a bishop and that he'll protect many things, and tells Frau that he should live due to the feelings Guido entrusted to him.
Teito pleads with Frau not to let his life end, asking him if Frau won't let it end for himself if he'll keep himself alive for Teito's sake. Just as Verloren's hand is about to grab Frau, an explosion occurs. Teito then finds himself standing beside the Frau he's used to.
Frau tells Teito that the Aegis was supposedly decommissioned after the Raggs war, and that the sky pirates were subject to subjugation throughout Barsburg's empire. However, Frau reveals that the subjugation of the sky pirates is actually a lie and that the Aegis, rather than being decommissioned, is still flying somewhere. Frau reveals that he couldn't believe that Guido was dead and confesses that he always believed Guido was alive somewhere. Frau also reveals that he had Verloren's scythe swallow it in an effort to preserve Guido's legacy and the memory of his hero, Guido.
Frau then confesses to Teito he doesn't have any memory of when the scythe took him over ten years ago. Teito tells Frau that Guido was Zehel before him and that after Frau was overtaken by the scythe, he came to attack Teito to try and get Pandora's box. Teito reveals that Frau actually died ten years ago on the Aegis, having lost his physical body in the explosion. However, Guido, who was ready to ascend to heaven, noticed Frau's plight and came to stop him. Teito says that Guido gave Frau Zehel's power so he could control the scythe, and reveals that Frau has been kept alive by Guido for the past ten years because of it.
Teito changes the subject, wanting to know how the Aegis managed to get in Verloren's scythe, causing Frau to reply that the scythe has a bottomless appetite. Frau bids farewell to the ruined Aegis, coming to terms with Guido's death and letting the Aegis dissolve to nothing.
Frau then scolds Teito for coming to save him after he was willing to give his life to let Teito escape Verloren, however Teito refuses to let Frau become Verloren. Frau tries to convince Teito there's no other way, only for Teito to tell Frau that there is, asking for Frau to have faith in him.
Teito then requests that Frau fight Verloren together with him, and Frau accepts, calling himself a "stubborn stud."
Removing the Scythe.
In the present, in Verloren's core, Teito finally manages to remove the scythe from the throne.
Hyuuga's Recovery.
Outside of Verloren's core, Hyuuga wakes up inside a regeneration tank. He muses on how Labrador planned to save him from the moment he gave Hyuuga the seed that would eat Landkarte's darkness, and observes that the plant also got rid of the "bug" that had infected Hyuuga. Ayanami reveals to Hyuuga that his only value is his luck.
Hyuuga teases Konatsu, and although Konatsu becomes annoyed, he quickly asks that Hyuuga not worry about him and focus on healing his body, to which Hyuuga responds by patting Konatsu's head. Ayanami muses that Profe absorbed Hyuuga's darkness and converted it into life energy so that Hyuuga would survive. Hyuuga laments that he probably lost his powers as a Warsfeil as a result, and asks Ayanami if he was sad while Hyuuga was being killed. Ayanami admits he wasn't concerned, and asks Hyuuga if he objects to the sentiment. Hyuuga says he doesn't, and admits that he's actually relieved.
Verloren's Revival.
Ayanami is approaching Verloren's headless body, and Hyuuga congratulates Ayanami on finally managing to regain his/Verloren's body.
Aftermath.
Ayanami fights with Teito in Verloren's core and is cut by Verloren's scythe. Due to the fact that reapers die if they are cut by their own scythes, Ayanami dies and Verloren's soul is pardoned by the Chief of Heaven. Teito, Frau, Vertrag and Relikt all manage to escape Verloren's core and Teito goes to Seele to save Frau from the scythe. Teito is then reincarnated and the Ghosts lose their powers and become ordinary humans, with the sole exception of Frau, who becomes Verloren's successor.

fandom.07ghost | # Verloren's Scythe
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!Verloren's scythe is a living scythe that belonged to the God of Death, Verloren. Verloren appears to have been created with the scythe in his hand, and it is unknown the exact time when he lost it (the moment he was sealed in Pandora's box, or years after his imprisonment). It wound up in Frau's possession due to the traitor Landkarte's manipulation. Despite being the current holder of the scythe, Frau commented that the scythe missed its old master. How Frau could keep the scythe under control for so long is unknown, though it is implied that he managed to do so through a combination of willpower and Zehel's powers.
The scythe shared its life force with its original master, Verloren, and it was implied that destroying Verloren would kill the scythe- and vice versa. In the wake of Ayanami's death, it is possible that Verloren's scythe had not died and instead accepted Frau as its new master.
Form.
Verloren's scythe resembles a normal Ghost scythe, but is more sinister in appearance.
The scythe's snath (the long pole by which it is held) is estimated to be 9 feet in length, and the blade estimated to be 10 feet in length. Being so large and heavy, it requires considerable strength to wield.
The heel of the scythe is adorned with jagged spikes that cause it to resemble the open jaws and teeth of a monster. The 'mouth' of the scythe, which is a dark purple colour, looks to be pried open with metal railing, and there is a long, 'tail-like' appendage descending from the top of the scythe- normally attaching the scythe to its wielder but can be detached for use as a whip or to grab objects.
The scythe is able to change its appearance at will. The scythe also changes depending on how animate it is- with a 'relaxed' scythe looking only slightly different from the standard ghost scythes, and an angry scythe losing most of its resemblance to a scythe altogether.
The scythe is 'stored' in the right arm of the wielder, and emerges from the wielder's tattoo whenever summoned- or sometimes of its own accord.
Personality.
The scythe is sentient and intelligent. It is aware of its surroundings and needs, such as its hunger levels, and is capable of forming opinions on things like which souls, or wielders it likes best.
The scythe is rebellious, bold and acts by itself, sometimes ignoring the orders of its wielder, though Mikhail seems to be able to restrain it. It is also quite greedy, and often complains of the taste of bad souls.
Though capable of developing a relationship with its wielder, it prioritises its own needs over loyalty to its master, and on occasion has ignored or acted against the wishes of its master (even when acting by itself, it has the potential to cause serious injury or death to said master) because they contradict with its own wishes. However, if its wielder manages to earn its respect, it will become highly loyal to him.
Relationships.
Wielders.
Verloren (Ayanami).
As Ayanami is the reincarnation of the scythe's former master, the scythe is loyal to him and him alone. Ayanami has warned Frau several times to look after the scythe as it will return to him one day, and even Frau is aware that the scythe misses its old master, as he had once said "you miss "him", don't you" to it. The scythe recognises Ayanami as its old master, and even obeys his orders over the orders of its current wielder. This was shown in Kapitel 70, when Ayanami commanded the scythe to stop, it listened and refused to attack Ayanami.
Zehel (Frau).
Although Frau is the current holder of the scythe, it was shown to dislike and disrespect him on several occasions. The scythe often openly disobeyed Frau's orders, e.g. when it attempted to devour Teito's soul against Frau's will, and at times even acted against him in a way that could kill or seriously injure him (Frau), such as when it refused to attack Ayanami when Frau was fighting him. Frau himself appears completely aware of the scythe's feelings towards him. However, it is possible that the scythe accepted Frau as its master after Frau succeeded Verloren as the God of Death.
Teito Klein.
Teito Klein is shown wielding the scythe in Verloren's core.
The scythe views Teito as a potential meal, and describes his soul as "looking delicious" and eventually tries to force Frau to devour Teito's soul.
Other.
Mikhail.
Mikhail and Verloren's scythe have been shown interacting only twice. The first time, Mikhail protected Teito from the scythe when it wanted to devour Teito . The second time , when brainwashed Mikhail stabbed Frau at Ouka's birthday masquerade ball, the scythe protected Frau because it wanted to feast on Teito and Ouka.
When the scythe attacked Teito and Mikhail protected Teito, the scythe did not resist or complain when Mikhail forced it to retreat into Frau's arm, suggesting that it may hold some respect for Mikhail.
Their relationship is unclear, but considering that Mikhail dislikes Verloren, his (Mikhail's) dislike may extend to the scythe as well.
Abilities and Attributes.
Devouring souls.
Verloren's scythe is the only thing in the series universe, possibly with the exception of the Chief of Heaven, capable of destroying mana: the life energy souls are believed to be made of.
Due to its job as a 'disposal system' of bad souls, the scythe is the ultimate dictator of a soul's fate. It is one of the few things capable of eating souls, and is able to dictate where a soul goes after it has been eaten- such as purgatory or hell. Souls that are considered particularly evil are destroyed by the scythe.
Verloren's Scythe is also one of two things able to erase the effects of Kor wishes that have already been granted.
Killing its wielder.
Kapitel 98 revealed that even Verloren's vessel is not immune to his scythe, as Ayanami died after he was impaled by the scythe. According to Ayanami, a reaper meets his end if he is cut by his own scythe.
History.
Verloren's scythe was originally a 'disposal system' developed by the Chief of Heaven to aid Verloren in his job of sorting souls. When Verloren left Heaven, he took the scythe with him.
Manga Synopsis.
The incident with a Kor.
Verloren's Scythe first appears when Teito Klein has made a contract with the Old Man Kor and Bishops Frau and Castor attempt to stop him. Frau draws the scythe and goads the Kor into fighting him. When the Kor flees Frau, scythe in hand, pursues him and uses his Scythe to destroy the Kor wings. Because of Teito's presence, it is reluctant to retreat back into Frau's arm.
Mikage's death.
Frau once again wields the scythe when he confronts Mikage, who has been possessed by Ayanami, the reincarnation of the scythe's master. Ayanami grabs the scythe and uses it to cut the Kor wing, killing Mikage. Ayanami then warns Frau that the scythe will return to him.
Discovery of the Eye of Mikhail.
When Teito attempts to leave the Church, and Frau objects to Castor's actions, the scythe releases itself without Frau's permission and attacks Teito's unconscious body. Mikhail wakes and uses his powers to defend Teito from the attack. The scythe then retreats back into Frau's right arm.
Hausen House Arc.
During the Hausen House Arc, Frau uses the scythe to devour the souls of the many Wars, including a young woman, that inhabit the streets of a town in District 6. The scythe is unimpressed with the quality of his meals and roars in protest, and Frau tells it to quieten down.
Krat House Arc.
On their journey to the 5th Distinct God House, Frau finds the spirit of a dog that had been tied to the mortal world by a wish its master made when he was alive. As a Baculus is not strong enough to break a Kor's wish, Frau unleashes Verloren's Scythe and uses it to free the animal's soul- which then ascends to heaven.
Freeing Marie's soul.
The scythe is present when Frau frees the soul of a Tavern dancer, Marie, which had been trapped in the mortal world (akin to purgatory) because of a wish her lover made during a deal with a Kor.
When her nameless lover, now a fully-grown Wars, senses Marie's soul has been freed, he attacks Frau from behind- but Frau reacts quickly and defends himself using the scythe. During the fight, the Wars repeatedly antagonises Frau- thinking himself invincible. However, Frau informs the man that he will not be given another chance (as it is implied his soul is a repeat offender) and uses the scythe to devour the man's soul, destroying it for good.
As Frau contemplates the disgusting taste of the man's soul, he is found by Teito Klein, who had been disturbed by the noises. Frau begins to feel nauseous, but dismisses Teito's concerns.
However, as Teito turns his back, Frau's human side is suddenly overpowered by the scythe, which is desperate to eat a soul that is 'delicious'. With the scythe now controlling him, Frau tries to grab Teito, but manages to regains his senses before he can harm Teito, by smashing his own head against a wall.
As Frau showers, the scythe, still angry at Frau for refusing him a 'delicious' meal, begins to crawl out of Frau's arm against Frau's wishes. Frau loses his temper, chastises the scythe for almost killing Teito, and angrily slams his hand against the wall- which causes the scythe to retreat back into his arm.

fandom.07ghost | # Vertrag
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Vertrag is one of the Seven Ghosts in the 07 Ghost series. He is the pledging spirit and capable of controlling a person's soul by making a contract with them, being able to control how they move and what they say.
The remains of the statue of Vertrag still lie in one of the in the Barsburg Church. The statue had been destroyed and its tower closed since the end of the Raggs War due to the Ghost Vertrag being devoured. It is currently unknown what people used to pray to the statue for, though considering Vertrag's power, they may have asked Vertrag to change someone's behaviour and speech for the better.
Etymology.
Vertrag is the German word for 'contract', referring to the contract that must be made before a soul can be taken and controlled.
Form.
Vertrag's true appearance is in the form of a hooded skeleton, (like the grim reaper) wielding a large scythe. His appearance is the same as Verloren since the Ghosts are made up of fragments from Verloren.
Vertrag's Ghost symbol is purple in colour and appears to be a trident, with the first prong twisted completely upwards, the third prong twisted completely downwards, and the middle prong curved only slightly downwards.
Human.
Going by Fea Kreuz's appearance, reincarnations of Vertrag tend to be tall and slender, with narrow eyes, long faces, and white hair.
Personality.
Vertrag is a kind, courageous and selfless Ghost, but is not above violence for the sake of protecting his loved ones. He may also have an eccentric side.
Abilities and attributes.
The Seven Ghosts all possess the ability to erase or otherwise alter a person's memories. Vertrag is able to place seals on people's memories, so if anyone tries to read the protected memories, they will be injured. Like the other Ghosts, Vertrag can make his true form temporarily leave his human, host body.
Also, it is possible that the Ghosts can recover faster from injuries than ordinary humans.
Since the host body is dead; their hearts do not beat and their bodies do not give off heat, it is probable that all of them have a much greater tolerance of extremely low temperatures than ordinary humans.
Specific abilities.
The Ghost Vertrag has the ability to manipulate the soul of a person, controlling their movement and speech.
History.
The creation of the Ghosts.
The Seven Ghosts are amongst the earliest 'gods' created by the Chief of heaven and their existence dates back roughly 1000 years. At the time of their creation, humanity was already present.
The legend of the ghosts tells that Verloren (the God of Death) was in love with the Chief of Heaven's daughter, Eve, but after her skeleton was found and her soul devoured, the Chief of Heaven accused Verloren of killing her. As Eve's soul being devoured automatically forced it to be sent to earth and reincarnated, Verloren escaped the heavens and fled to earth to find her reincarnation.
Verloren began looking into the hearts of humans in order to find the soul that originally belonged to Eve. However as he looked, that person's heart was instantly tainted by his presence, and slowly slipped into despair. This meant those souls could not enter Heaven in this life because they were no longer pure, and they would be forced to reincarnate again once they died.
When the Chief of Heaven noticed the consequences Verloren's actions had on those souls he looked into, he fashioned seven heavenly lights out of Verloren's fragments, each with one of Verloren's powers, and sent them to execute him.
Schedel's Crusade.
The Ghosts' mission was to take Verloren's body to The Land of Seele- where it would be judged and destroyed, and after they had fulfilled this mission their souls would be able to return to heaven. The ghosts drove Verloren to Seele, but even with their combined strength, they weren't strong enough to destroy him. Faced with this, they instead used the powers of the two angel eyes (Mikhail and Raphael) to tear Verloren's soul from his body, in the hope that they never join again so he could never be at his full power.
They sealed his physical body in Pandora's Box on earth, and used the Eye of Mikhail to make sure it could not escape from its prison. They sealed his soul using the Eye of Raphael, putting his soul in a human- and forcing it to undergo a process of constant reincarnation whenever the human body died- regardless of how the person had lived their life- so it could never enter Heaven again.
The threat of Verloren had been eliminated, but since the Ghosts were unable to judge Verloren, they could not return to heaven; instead staying in the mortal world to serve as guardians.
Vertrag went on to become the progenitor of the Raggs bloodline.
After sealing Verloren.
Now on earth, each Ghost assumed human form and went on to live human lives; they married humans, had human children and died as humans. The Seven Ghosts and their human families went on to form the Seven Houses of God, and the Ghosts' powers were passed on to their children, and further generations.
The current ghosts are the descendants of the original seven.
During the Raggs War and return of Verloren.
Around 990 years after Verloren had been sealed, the Eye of Raphael malfunctioned- resulting in Verloren's soul awakening (the human who was currently holding Verloren's soul regained all of Verloren's memories) and continued with Verloren's crusade against the Chief of Heaven.
The descendants of the ghosts that first fought Verloren were again forced to re-group and fight.
Currently, very little is known about the Ghosts' roles in the Raggs War.
A member of the Raggs family (the God house of Vertrag) and person acting as the Ghost Vertrag, Fea Kreuz, was accused of stealing and escaping with Pandora's Box, and it was this theft that sparked the Raggs War. Pandora's Box had been moved into a human- meaning Verloren's body was at a risk of escaping- so four Ghosts protected and guided Vertrag through the Seven God Houses in order to receive the cursed tickets and travel to the Land of Seele to destroy Verloren's body.
This, coupled with the fact Verloren's soul had awakened, caused Ea and Landkarte to separate from the others and go undercover into the military.
However, the Ghosts were not successful in their mission, and it resulted in the death of one Ghost, Vertrag, whose reincarnation was killed by Ayanami and devoured by Verloren.

In chronological order:

fandom.07ghost | # Vessel
See also the relevant category page:
A vessel, otherwise known as a host or human form (and in the case of the Eyes of Mikhail and Raphael, a bearer or a wielder) is a human body that a spirit or spiritual being possesses.
Purpose of a vessel.
All inhabitants of the mortal world need both a body and a soul in order to live. Spirits and gods possess humans and inhabit human bodies in order to be able to interact with the mortal world.
Choosing a vessel.
The Seven Ghosts, Mikhail and Raphael are highly selective when choosing their vessels. Mikhail has been shown to have no issues with killing a vessel if he deems the vessel not pure enough (as shown when the Eye of Mikhail is forced into a Warsfeil, resulting in the Warsfeil's death). The Seven Ghosts only choose vessels who are blood descendants of the Seven Houses of God, and only the Empress or Empress-to-be of Barsburg can be a vessel for Raphael.
Gender and personality also seem to be important factors in choosing a vessel, for the Ghosts, Verloren and the two Archangels. There is evidence to suggest that the Ghosts and Verloren are more comfortable using male vessels. On the other hand, Raphael only uses female vessels. Mikhail's preferences about the gender of his vessels is less clear-cut, though it's worth noting that his two most recent vessels are both male. The personalities of the current generation of Ghosts seem to be rather similar to the personalities of the previous generation (e.g. the Raggs War Fest was knowledgeable, like Castor, and Guido was hotheaded but kind, like Frau), and Ayanami's personality is very similar to Verloren's (at least before Verloren's fall from grace).
In contrast, Kors and Wars are not as choosy, and their vessels can be anyone, regardless of gender and age.
Relationships with vessels.
Mikhail and Raphael are devoted and loyal to pure vessels or vessels with 'beautiful souls', but will kill or leave vessels that are impure or weak. Kors apparently do not care for the humans they possess, and leave their vessels in a deteriorated state.

fandom.07ghost | # Wade
Wade was one of two acolytes that took the Bishop's Apprentice Exam as a pair, first seen taunting Teito and the former assistant Archbishops. He and his partner managed to last until the end of the first exam, where he then failed after attacking him and running through the door of victory.
After this defeat, what happened to Wade is unknown, but he presumably either returned home or is currently training to take the Bishop's Apprentice Exam again.
Etymology.
Wade is a name of Old English and Scandivanian origin. It means "able to go; river ford".
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Wade has light brown skin with an angular face and dark blue hair spiked up. He has a long, thin nose and thin lips, and sports a mean-looking expression. His eyebrows are very thin and the same colour as his hair. He has a small scar running across his forehead. It is unknown how he got this scar. He has a sturdy build and is estimated around 178cm. He looks to be somewhere in his late teens or early twenties.
Clothing.
He wears the typical Bishop's apprentice uniform: consisting of a long, white robe down to the ankles, having two slits, going from the bottom of the robe to the hips, at each side of the body, and long, white sleeves with large, dark blue sleeve cuffs. Down the back of the robe is a criss-cross stitching like that of a corset with dark blue thread. A small, white poncho (mid-back length) with a high collar and dark blue around the edges is worn over the robe, and he wears his Exam Badge at the front of his collar. He wears dark blue trousers and knee-length brown boots.
Personality.
Wade appears to be an unkind individual, as during his first appearance he laughs when Kyle shouts at an old man and mocks Teito Klein when his Zaiphon does not start. He also appeared to lack courage, as he did not engage Teito and Hakuren Oak himself, preferring to laugh at what his partner said, and backs down when they confronted him and his partner. Even when physically attacking others, he preferred to attack from behind. However, he was able to pass through fear during the bishop's exam- demonstrating some bravery.
Wade showed a lack of diplomacy and tendency towards aggressive outbursts when cornered. During the later part of the exam, Wade's greed got the better of him, resulting in him attacking his partner in an attempt to take the victor's place for himself. If Wade was truly as intelligent as Kyle said, it suggests he was very lazy in nature, as he was shown doing little during the exam and relying of Kyle. His selfishness eventually lead to his downfall, and he failed the exam.
However, later he seems to regret this, as he watches Kyle extend a helping hand to 'him' on the Bridge of Trials and forgive him.
Relationships.
Wade first appeared to be friends with Kyle, as they were together during the exam and Wade was shown laughing at all of Kyle's unkind comments. Wade either did not consider Kyle a friend, or did not think much of losing him, as he showed little gratitude towards his partner for the work he did during the exam, and was willing to attack him and take the victory prize for himself.
Abilities and Attributes.
Kyle had said that Wade was clever and good at studying, but there is little evidence for this. Wade appeared to possess little skill with a Baculus, and little biblical knowledge, as he relied heavily on his partner, Kyle, during the exam- and failed at the last hurdle. He showed fairly quick reflexes and average strength for a male his size and age.
Manga Synopsis.
Part one of the exam.
He is first seen bumping into one of the former assistant archbishops, and is shouted at by Teito Klein. He leaves without argument, but is later shown laughing at Teito and Hakuren when Teito is unable to start his Zaiphon. He continues to laugh when his partner, Kyle, insults Teito and Hakuren. Teito attempts to argue, but Hakuren stops him and calls him (Kyle) a "failure face" which insults him greatly. When the exam starts, Wade walks through the hall of shadows.
Wade relies heavily on his partner, Kyle, during the exam, as it is Kyle who battles the monsters and Kor, and answers all the questions.
When the pair face the last challenge: where only one of the pair can pass through the door of the victor, Wade attacks Kyle- punching him in the face, writes his own name on the wall, and runs through the door of the victor- leaving Kyle to walk through the door of the defeated. While expecting to pass the exam, Wade is instead greeted with the sight of one of the seven ghosts, and is dragged away for using his friend as a stepping stone: failing the exam.
Part two of the exam.
Wade is later seen watching Kyle through a glass screen with the exam overseers, where one of them says that he could take the exam next year. This is his last appearance in the series, and he has not been mentioned or seen again since. His current status is unknown.

fandom.07ghost | # Wakaba Oak
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Wakaba Oak is a minor antagonist in the 07-Ghost manga and anime series. He is Shuri Oak's father and Hakuren Oak's uncle.
Wakaba was the field marshal of the Barsburg Armed Forces after Miroku, and was one of the officers behind the Raggs War and the Raphael Project. Wakaba was murdered by Ayanami in manga chapter 75.
Etymology.
Wakaba's first name may come from the Japanese destroyer battleship of the same name. His name follows the trend of Barsburg officers being named after warships.
In Japanese, "wakaba" means "young leaf" or "verdure leaf". His surname, Oak, may be derived from the fact that the oak leaf is commonly seen on military awards and insignia, as it is a symbol of strength, and the oak (tree) is the national tree of Germany.
Wakaba is also the name of one of the six wards of the Japanese city of Chiba.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Wakaba Oak's official weight and height are unknown. He appears to be around his late 40's in age, as he has wrinkles round his eyes as well as marionette lines round his mouth. His face is masculine, diamond-shaped, with a strong jaw. He has a small mouth, with full lips and large, narrowed eyes (light-color in the manga, medium purple in the anime) and a large, crooked nose. Wakaba has a strinking resemblance to his son, Shuri Oak, and like his son has fair skin and pale blonde hair, and like many from the Oak family, Wakaba has long eye-lashes on his bottom lid. Keeping with the Oak family tradition, Wakaba also wears earrings.
Clothing.
Wakaba's military uniform consists of a black or dark blue, ankle-length overcoat with gold trimmings on the chest, sleeve cuffs and neck-guard. He wears black trousers and knee-length black, buckled boots and white gloves. His uniform has a small half mantle hanging off his left shoulder emblazoned with the Barsburg Military insignia. As the field marshal and the leader of the First Fleet, he uniform has some difference compared with the other generals - he wears some golden aiguillettes and a fringy epaulet on his right shoulder, and the upper part of his coat has more trimmings. It is unknown what is worn under the overcoat but it is possible it is a plain white shirt (as Mikage was shown wearing one when in the Military uniform).
Personality.
Wakaba Oak is a nationalist. He values the interests of his counrtry above everything or anyone else. For this, he could be unsympathetic to other people (even to a princess of Barsburg), as he supports the view that it is right for his country to attack Raggs for Raggs' rich resources, so that Barsburg can become the strongest and/or richest nation in the world. He also thinks that feuds between individuals should give way to Barsburg's interests.
He usually talks with other people in a friendly or polite way (e.g. calling his subordinates "gentlemen" in meetings, using the polite suffix -kun to address Ayanami and Konatsu), even to those whose ranks are much lower than his (e.g. Konatsu), and seems to have a good relationship with other colleagues, as he is congratulated by the officers around him when he told them about his son's graduation. It seems that he adopts a fairly open policy with his direct subordinates, as one of them frankly asks his superior whether it is good to let Shuri stay in the Black Hawks, and Wakaba gives him his answer.
Despite normally appearing calm and polite to those around him, when it comes to matters related to war, Wakaba has a callous regard to and an aggressive attitude towards human beings who he doesn't consider related to him (e.g. Raggs civilians) or close enough to him emotionally (e.g. Princess Ouka). When the chance of winning an important war is threatened, he stands firm and becomes aggressive.
Wakaba is a confident man, as in chapter 62 he smiles and says, "Interesting", when he thinks that he is probably Ayanami's next target to remove from the army.
He is also quite cunning, sometimes uses silly/humorous acts to cover his real purpose. One example is when he cheerfully tells Hyuuga to take his son to Ayanami and then beats a hasty retreat. It is not until Shuri sees Ayanami that the Black Hawks know Wakaba's real purpose was to make Shuri Ayanami's Begleiter (manga chapter 25, page 25).
He is a practical man. If he wants something, he is willing to pay a price.
He is a successful businessman, as he has made the Oak Family's wealth grow much more by selling the kokujyuseki as a monopoly.
He shows signs of nepotism, as he assigns his son to be the former Chief of Staff's Begleiter for apprenticeship.
Relationships.
Family and relatives.
Shuri Oak: Wakaba loved his son very much. He is kind towards and protective of Shuri, ready to support him emotionally (he let a teary Shuri run into his arms and encourages him) and career-wise. Wakaba has greatly helped Shuri in the military as he managed to persuade the military academy to let Shuri pass the graduation exam, and he assigned Shuri as the Chief of Staff's Begleiter. He appeared to be proud of his son.
Shuri has a very close relationship with Wakaba, as he cried a lot when Wakaba dies.
His wife: As Wakaba loves the child born by his wife very much, and Shuri is fond of both of his parents, it seems that he loved his wife or had a good relationship with her.
Hakuren's Father: It appears that Hakuren's father dislikes or is indifferent towards Wakaba, as he does not attend his brother's funeral.
Hakuren's Mother: No interaction between Wakaba and Hakuren's mother has been shown, and nothing is known about their relationship. However, the fact that they seem to interact very little, if at all, suggests that they are not close.
Hakuren Oak: Like his (Hakuren's) parents, Hakuren was not seen at Wakaba's funeral, and has made no mention of Wakaba's death, suggesting that Hakuren feels indifferent towards his uncle.
Other members of the Oak clan.
Some Oaks have asked Wakaba to do them favours. and it seems that Wakaba had been trying to help his relatives when he was a high-ranking officer in the army. However, they clearly do not care for him, as they express their disappointment at no longer being able to obtain benefits through him instead of being sad over his death, and even gossip about the cause of his death. Shuri is apparently aware of their dislike or indifference towards Wakaba.
Colleagues.
Miroku Barsburg: Wakaba and the Chairman appear to have had a stable relationship. As Miroku was the former field-marshal before his retirement, he may have tutored or given advice to Wakaba. There is evidence to suggest that they were on apparently friendly terms, as Miroku, the headmaster of the Barsburg Academy, let Wakaba's son pass the Begleiter Exam despite he should have failed the exam; and Wakaba protects Ayanami, Miroku's subordinate, from other generals' hostile attack in meetings. The night Wakaba died, he dined with Miroku too.
Ayanami.
He is suspicious of Ayanami, and does not believe that Ayanami played no part in the death of Major-General Ogi despite his alibi, saying it looks so 'guiltless' he cannot help but think it 'fishy'.
However, Wakaba appears to approve of Ayanami's capability or deems Ayanami a valuable asset to the army, as he defends his position when other officers attack him, and asks if Ayanami is unharmed following the battle.
Wakaba also respected Ayanami enough to place his own son as Ayanami's begleiter, and appears disappointed when he (mistakenly) believes Ayanami already has a begleiter, so it cannot be Shuri. Due to Wakaba being a nationalist, he may believe that although Ayanami may have several motives, he will rank nationalism the first. Unfortunately, he does not know that Ayanami is no longer Ayanami, who ranks Barsburg the first, but Verloren, who ranks finding his love the first. For ten years since the Raggs' War, if Marshal Oak had sided with the generals who hate Ayanami, making use of opportunites to execute or demote Ayanami, Ayanami might not have had the chance to kill Wakaba.
Konatsu Warren: It seems that Wakaba has confidence in Konatsu's ability and personality, as shown when he entrusted Shuri to him. Being a loyal subordinate to Ayanami, Konatsu Warren is uninterested in Wakaba (manga chapter 75).
Others.
Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg: Wakaba does not care for the princess and values her only in terms of how useful she is to Barsburg. Compared with Barsburg's glory and gains if she wins the war against Raggs, he doesn't care about the welfare of the princess. He was unwilling to hear the scientists' concerns about starting the experiments too early as the princess was still very young, and was unconcerned with her death, instead furious that the important Raggs War may be lost.
Wolfram Eifeler Barsburg: They may have been rivals as two of the seven God-House-wooers of the former Barsburg empress at her Groom Choosing birthday party, in which Wolfram won her hand in marriage, though they probably did not take the rivalry seriously as Wakaba went on to marry another woman, with whom he seemed quite content. Wolfram trusted Wakaba to some extent when it came to business and gave Wakaba the power to oversee the Raphael Project. It is likely that they could work quite well with each other, as both of them willingly sacrificed the princesses/empresses of Barsburg for the Raphael Project, and they both believed that Barsburg should take Raggs' resources. As a member of the Barsburg military, Wakaba was loyal to Wolfram and the Empire's cause. However, Wolfram never expressed any grief at Wakaba's death, so it seems that their relationship was only ever formal and businesslike.
History.
Early childhood.
Wakaba was born into the prestigious and wealthy Oak family. He presumably grew up with his brother, Hakuren's father.
Marriage.
At some point, he married a (presumably noble) woman whose name and appearance are unknown in the series. It is estimated that Wakaba was in his mid-thirties when he had a son, considering his physical appearance when the Raggs War broke out and Shuri's age (around three years old) at the time.
Military.
He is the Barsburg Army's field marshal after Miroku, and has held the post for at least 12 years.
Pre-Raggs War.
Before the Raggs War was fought, he was already the field-marshal in the Barsburg Army.
In manga chapter 84, it is revealed that Marshal Wakaba, along with some scientists, witnessed the death of the 'real' Princess Ouka in an experiment a few years before the Raggs War. Then, Doctor Nanase took Wakaba to a secured laboratory, in which he told Marshal Oak not to worry, because he had already made 47 replicas based on the information obtained from the experiments carried out on the previous empresses and empresses-to-be.
Wakaba told Nanase not to record the death of the 'real' Ouka, instead, write down that the princess did not die in the experiment on that day, so the project would go on. He also told Nanase not to tell the Emperor about the princess's death. From that day onwards, OR-0007 (the Ouka shown to the readers since the Raggs War) took the role of the real Ouka, though unbeknownst to Wakaba, OR-0007 was not just a replica, since the real Ouka's soul was secretly moved into it by Ghost Ea.
Manga Synopsis.
Re-discovery of the Eye of Mikhail.
Field Marshal Wakaba first appears at a meeting with other generals concerning Ayanami's loss of two imperial fleet ships. Three generals that dislike Ayanami, are appalled at the damage and are quick to demand Ayanami's execution. However, Wakaba silences them and draws their attention to the Eye of God left in the mountains of District 7- it being proof the Eye of Mikhail was present at the attack. He explains that what they (the Barburg Army) worry most, namely the appearance of the Eye of Mikhail's host, has become reality (if a host for Mikhail's Eye is available, the Church can crown him king, reviving the Raggs Kingdom), and they must do anything, including eliminating the leftover descendant(s) of Raggs, to protect Barsburg's present territories.
Wakaba decides to offer the public false information on the appearance of the Eye of God, saying the Eye of Raphael malfunctioned. In the manga, he then adjourns the meeting, but not before informing his subordinates that his son, Shuri Oak has passed the Begleiter Exam.
Antwort War.
Wakaba approaches Hyuuga, who he recognises as a subordinate of Ayanami, and asks him to take his son, Shuri Oak on board Ayanami's ship as the Black Hawks prepare to leave for Antwort. He then leaves Hyuuga with Shuri, and Shuri reveals later that his father told him that he (Shuri) had been made Ayanami's begleiter- something Wakaba did not tell Ayanami.
Ayanami's return.
Wakaba is seen in a meeting when Ayanami returns from Antwort with news that the country is now under Barsburg's control. Wakaba appears very pleased and congratulates Ayanami on his victory, but is suddenly interrupted by admiral Ogi who attacks Ayanami for breaking the charter. Wakaba ignores him, letting Miroku Barsburg defend Ayanami. Ayanami then addresses Wakaba and asks for permission to pursue the vessel of the Eye of Mikhail. Wakaba is reluctant at first, but the Chief of Staff presents him with the Eye he had taken earlier and Wakaba is so impressed he agrees.
After the meeting, Wakaba accompanies Ayanami to see his son, Shuri Oak, who has just returned with the rest of the Black Hawks. Shuri runs into Wakaba's arms in tears, and Wakaba comforts and encourages Shuri. He notices Yukinami and Suzunami are following closely behind Ayanami, and mistakenly believes them to be his begleiters. He appears disappointed at this, as he had hoped Ayanami would have his son as his begleiter. However, he then entrusts Shuri to Konatsu Warren after seeing how attached Shuri has become to him.
Death.
In chapter 75, it is revealed that Verloren used Fest's strings to kill Wakaba, but made his death look as if Wakaba fell into a fountain accidentally but was too drunk to get himself out of it. In the same chapter, it is also revealed that the Oak Family is in fact one of the seven God Houses, i.e. the Oaks are the lineage of one of the Seven Ghosts. It is Verloren's plan to use attending Marshal Wakaba's funeral as an excuse to infiltrate the Oak House and lure a Seven Ghost out (and this plan does succeed, as Relikt is attacked and killed by a prepared Verloren from the back when he came to the Oak House).

fandom.07ghost | # Warren Family
The Warren Family is a prestigious, (presumably) noble family in the 07-Ghost universe.
The family has borne a long line of Warsfeil, with Konatsu Warren being the only exception. Despite being Warsfeil, they are able to live their lives freely, and are dedicated to serving Verloren.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
The Warren family have blond hair and fair skin. Their typical eye colour is unknown, although Konatsu's eyes are a golden brown. Because the Warren Family have many Warsfeil within their family, it is possible that many of them have snake-like pupils like Ayanami.
Clothing.
They wear hooded black cloaks (possibly to emulate Verloren).
Personality.
The Warrens appear to think very highly of blood purity, as most of them disowned Konatsu Warren for not being a Warsfeil.
Family Tree.
Konatsu's Grandfather───┬───Unknown
│
Unknown───┬───Unknown
│
Konatsu Warren
Influence.
Seeing as the Warren family lives in good conditions as freemen and were not executed when the Emperor ordered the execution of all the Warsfeil in the country, it is likely that they are nobility and/or have some political influence, which grants them their freedom. As many, or all, of their members are Warsfeil and the largest portion of Warsfeil are found in the military, it is possible that some of them hold high-ranking positions in the military. It is also highly possible that some of them have served in the Black Hawks, where they can use their ability.
Abilities and Attributes.
Many, if not all, of them are Warsfeil, meaning that they are able to manipulate tainted mana. As all Warsfeil in the series have been shown to also have a Zaiphon, it is safe to assume that many of the members of the Warren Family are skilled with Zaiphon.

fandom.07ghost | # Wars
"See also the relevant page "
A Wars is a Kor that has obtained a human soul "with proof of existence in this world" and evolved after the three wishes have been granted. It is what Mana (the life energy that souls are believed to be made of) becomes when it has been completely tainted by one of Verloren's messengers, the Kor, or a Warsfeil. Wars are the seeds that are planted by the Kor in anticipation of Verloren's return.
They eat souls, and cause feelings of despair in anyone near them. Unlike Kor, which cannot physically harm humans, the Wars occupy vessels and materialise in the medium which all living things exist in, (meaning it becomes tangible) and can now physically injure living things. A Wars becomes stronger every time it takes a human soul.
A person who has the ability to create a Wars without their victim bargaining with a Kor is known as a Warsfeil.
An episode in the anime shows that the Seven Ghosts cannot be harmed by Wars (Frau was not harmed by Bastien's Wars). Presumably, all holy beings in the series are immune to Wars.
Etymology.
The word "Wars" possibly derives from the word ""war", which is itself derived from the Germanic "werra"" meaning "fight".
Anatomy.
A Wars is corrupted life energy, and appears as a moving, black mass of pure darkness. A newly transformed Wars still resembles the human the host used to be, with only parts of the host becoming a black mass. A fully-fledged Wars, one that has devoured many souls, loses most of its resemblance to a human being.
Temperament.
Wars are extremely vicious and aggressive. They hold no loyalty, and indiscriminately devour anything within reach. Domestication is impossible and extremely dangerous as they will easily turn on their masters. However, they do show some degree of loyalty to and respect for Verloren, and are easily controlled by Warsfeil. Mikhail has shown that archangels also have little difficulty in fending off Wars.
Creation.
A person becomes a Wars after they have had all three wishes granted by the Kor, and the person's soul becomes corrupted and turns into a Wars, where the host becomes what essentially is, a moving corpse. Once possessed by a Wars, the person is dead, and their body is only used as a vessel for the Wars inside. The soul of the possessed person is then tied to the physical world (a state of purgatory), until the Wars is destroyed.
It takes at least a day for a Wars to gain complete control over its vessel's corpse.
Attacking and destroying a Wars.
As a person is already dead at the point of becoming a Wars, it is impossible to save them. The only way to destroy the Wars is to purify their soul, something only a trained Bishop is able to do. Holy water has been known to do some damage to them, and as this was demonstrated on Kuroyuri's Wars (which is very powerful), it is very likely that holy water will destroy a weaker Wars.
Since tainted Mana is 'bad', the soul of the possessed person cannot enter Heaven in this lifetime, and they are forced to reincarnate and start their life again.
Abilities of a Wars.
A Wars is able to manipulate all forms of life energy and can hijack the vessel's body to force them to attack other people and objects. Its power is intensified by negative thoughts, making someone full of rage, guilt or sadness and thus much more susceptible to being taken over, something reflected on by their choice of victims. A Wars can manifest itself in numerous forms, appearing as ghostly faces (as seen above), or large, monstrous creatures (as seen with the stronger Wars). A Wars is able to move through solid objects no matter what form, and are able to sprout tendrils to whip or grab opponents. When a Baculus has been touched by a Wars, it turns black.
When a human touches a Wars, or something tainted by a Wars, they are instantly consumed by darkness, except if they have been baptised, which allows Warsfeil to use a Wars to guard inanimate objects.
A Wars was used to remove the Eye of Mikhail from its bearer by entering the Eye and preventing it from working.
Forbidden arts.
The Baculus was originally designed to be an instrument that could manipulate light and dark alike. There is a forbidden form of art that has been passed down through the generations from ancient times of the Church, and at some point this was forbidden and made punishable by death. When the scriptures used for incantation are uttered backwards, the Baculus is able to evoke a Wars using the souls of others.

fandom.07ghost | # Wars Attacks
The Wars Attacks refer to several atrocities committed over the course of three days in the Barsburg Church that left at least five people dead and several injured, the majority of them criminals within the Church. The attacks were instigated by Warsfeil group, the Black Hawks, and Assistant Archbishop Bastien, and ended with his (Bastien's) death. They appeared to be a result of growing anger some members of the clergy, namely Bastien, had with the Church's decision of offering murderers the chance to 'avoid punishment' by allowing them sanctuary within the Barsburg Church.
While apparently spearheaded by Bastien, the Wars Attacks had the ulterior motive of killing Ghosts, as two of the Black Hawks, Kuroyuri and Haruse, attacked Frau and Labrador respectively- without Bastien's consent.
The Wars Attacks were followed by the Infiltration by the Black Hawks, where the Black Hawks successfully took the Eye of Mikhail.
Background.
Raggs War.
The Raggs War was the first war between Barsburg and Raggs which resulted in the total destruction of the Raggs Kingdom, and almost resulted in the annihilation of the royal family of Raggs, with Tiashe (the King's son), with his memory (true identity) sealed by Vertrag, being one of the only three survivors, the other two being his mother, Millea Klein, and Ayanami, who betrayed his kingdom and family for reasons as yet unknown. It was sparked by the theft of Pandora's Box.
The true purpose of the war was to plunder Raggs's underground Zaiphon reserves and to take the Eye of Mikhail. However, after 2 years of fighting, the Eye of Mikahil was never recovered and was presumed lost by history.
Reappearance of the Eye of Mikhail.
Roughly ten years after the Raggs War, the son of the Raggs King (having learnt of his true origins) attempted to assassinate the Barsburg army's Chief of Staff, a participant in the Raggs War and killer of the Raggs King. The assassination attempt failed and Teito was imprisoned. However, with the help of his friend he was able to escape the district and flee to a nearby Church.
Mikage Celestine, friend of the now District 1 fugitive, Teito Klein, and accomplice in his escape, was possessed by Chief of Staff Ayanami and sent to the Barsburg Church to retrieve Teito, in order to bring charges of treason against him.
During a fight between the boys, the Eye of Mikhail, thought to have been lost but actually in Teito's possession, revealed itself.
Though Mikage was later defeated and killed, the reappearance of the Eye sparked fears that the Church would use it as a weapon, prompting the military to make plans to retrieve it.
History leading up to conflict.
It is known that an intelligence unit, lead by the army's Chief of Staff, was founded on an unknown date and several spies were placed in the Church. It remains unknown how long these spies have been lying dormant, though Bastien has said it has been a long time.
The breaking of the Church's barrier.
A few days before the conflict began, assistant Archbishop Bastien used his Baculus in order to break the protective barrier around the Barsburg Church that would limit the movement of the Wars and Warsfeil that would late infiltrate the Church. This allowed Kuroyuri and Haruse to enter the Church disguised as members of the clergy.
The conflict.
Aldo's death.
The conflict began after well-known murderer, and apparent reformed criminal, Aldo, was found dead at the gates of the Barsburg Church.
Assistant Archbishop Bastien, a man with a long history of hatred towards criminals seeking refuge within the Church, disguised himself and feigned distress, causing Aldo to open the gates to let him in. When Aldo turned his back, Bastien struck him from behind, killing him. Following the discovery of his corpse, the words: "There is no divine protection of God" were engraved into his chest. Suspicion fell upon the Seven Ghosts, as they are said to punish those who go against the Chief of Heaven. Bastien fuelled these rumours in order to avoid suspicion.
Aldo's body is later stolen from the Church catacombs by Bastien and given to Black Hawks member Kuroyuri, a Warsfeil who had been undercover for a few days. Kuroyuri used the body as a host for his/her Wars. This went unnoticed for a while as the mortician did not report that a body had gone missing.
Attack on Teito and Hakuren.
Using the Wars created from the dead Aldo's soul, Black Hawk Kuroyuri attacks Teito Klein and Hakuren Oak, as the two students make their way back to their room. The Wars launches for Teito but he (Teito) is pushed out of the way by Hakuren, who takes the blow but is knocked out the window. Teito then throws himself out the window in effort to save Hakuren. As the Wars pursues the pair, it is destroyed by Frau, who appears and catches the two falling boys and then uses the scythe to destroy the Wars. Frau spots the two Warsfeil and realises they are behind the attack, throws his weapon at them, but they disappear before the attack can hit.
Aldo's body is recovered when the Wars leaves his body, and is taken for burial.
The attack dismissed rumours that Aldo was killed by one of the Seven Ghosts, and alerted members of the clergy to the fact that Warsfeil were moving freely within the Church, and was taken as proof the barrier had been broken. Traitors were then suspected in the Church.
True motives.
Unbeknownst to Bastien, and using the recent (Aldo's) murder as a distraction, Black Hawks members Kuroyuri infiltrated the lower level of the Church and there killed several criminals within the Barsburg Church and used their souls the strengthen his/her Wars.
Frau sensed the presence of a Warsfeil in the Church and follows the scent. Confronting the intruder in one of the Church cells, he is greeted with the sight of Black Hawk member Kuroyuri, and the room being filled with the mutilated corpses of criminals. The two engage in battle, with Frau using "his" scythe to fend off the Wars, making Kuroyuri furious. As Kuroyuri receives a message to fall back from his/her master, Ayanami, s/he leaves and drops a Warsfeil Dagger which Frau picks up. Almost immediately after Kuroryuri disappears, the Imperial Guard arrive,
catching Frau at the murder scene holding the weapon Kuroyuri had used, (which he is able to touch without being harmed due to being a Ghost) and is promptly arrested and charged with murder and being a Warsfeil. He is imprisoned in Light Dungeon.
Bastien's reveal.
Teito Klein and Hakuren Oak investigate the scene of the crime in order to prove Frau's innocence. As Teito meets the Guardians, Hakuren strikes a dark figure that appears behind Teito, whom he believes to be an attacker, but it is revealed to be Bastien, who is unaware of the Black Hawks' plan to kill Frau and is also searching for clues. When questioned, Bastien reveals his past with Frau, but leaves when his shift ends.
Noticing the tainted Baculus that he used to hit Bastien, Hakuren realises that the traitor within the Church was Bastien, and the two boys rush to Bastien's room to confront him. Evading the guards, the pair discover a secret passageway behind a bookcase leading down to a cellar where Bastien awaits them. Bastien reveals himself to be a spy of Ayanami and wishes to arrest Teito for treason against the Barsburg Empire for escaping with the Eye of Mikhail. He uses his Baculus to summon a Wars and attacks Teito. When Hakuren intervenes, Bastien holds him captive and threatens to kill him if Teito does not surrender himself.
Teito charges at Bastien, only to be swallowed by darkness, but the Eye of Mikhail awakens, destroying the darkness around him. Mikhail attacks Bastien, gravely injuring him. Bastien then attacks a distracted Teito and begins to consume him with darkness. Teito begs Bastien not to forsake Frau, which stops him.
After this, Zehel, who has separated from his physical body, appears on the scene. Frau questions the reason behind Bastien's actions, to which Bastien replies that he could not forgive the criminals that sought sanctuary at the Church while the innocent people whom have lost their loved ones find none.
The Wars within Bastien, caused from years of using dangerous dark magic, starts to become hostile, and Bastien begins to realise the many crimes he has committed. Saying one last goodbye to Frau, he commands the God to kill him, saying that a god must not hesitate. Frau euthanizes him.
Attacking the Ghosts.
While Bastien was fighting, Kuroyuri, Haruse and two other spies pose as an acolyte, a Bishop and Imperial Guardsmen respectively to gain access into Light Dungeon. Noting the disappearance of the two guards, Haruse leaves Kuroyuri to enter the dungeon alone while he confronts Labrador, who had subdued the guards after noticing they were imposters. Labrador infects Haruse with a plant that eats Wars, weakening him.
Kuroyuri find Frau in his cell, and attacks him but it turns out to be a doll. He/she is then confronted by many Castor dolls. Kuroyuri is then attacked by Castor, who fights and ensnares the Black Hawk with his ghost strings and probes his/her soul so he is able to talk to Ayanami, who holds the other half of Kuroyuri's soul. Ayanami recognises Castor as the Ghost Fest, and Castor takes advantage of the link between Kuroyuri and Ayanami, and uses it to interrogate and torture Ayanami. However Kuroyuri uses his/her Wars which separates the two and Kuroyuri escapes with Haruse, who is slowly being eaten by Labrador's flowers.
Retreat.
Following Bastien's death, the barrier around the Barsburg Church was repaired, meaning the Warsfeil could no longer move inside the Church, forcing them onto the rooftops.
Aftermath.
When Bastien's betrayal became public, Frau was released from Light Dungeon and the charges dropped.
Bastien's funeral and reincarnation.
Bastien is hinted to have been reincarnated as a flower when Labrador brings a distinctive looking flower over to Frau stating that he (Frau) knows the color of this soul well. Frau in turn replies "I have to plant this in the sunniest part of the garden."
Infiltration by the Black Hawks.
Bastien's death and repair of the barrier severely limited the movement and abilities of the two Black Hawks within the Barsburg Church. They were forced to make changes to their plan and eventually managed to capture the Eye of Mikhail.
Consequences.
The Wars attacks left one known criminal, Aldo, and several nameless others dead.
It also almost resulted in the execution of Bishop Frau on false allegations, though he was eventually released. The casualties on Barsburg's side were not as heavy, with Bastien dead and Haruse weakened.

fandom.07ghost | # Wars Man
The Wars Man is a nameless, minor antagonist who appeared in only a single episode/chapter of the 07 Ghost anime and manga series. He sold his soul to a servant of Verloren, disguised as a street fortune teller, and after using his three wishes recklessly, he became a Wars. He was the first Wars to appear in the series, and he was later killed and his soul purified by Frau.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
The Wars man is estimated to stand at 170cm as he is a bit little taller than the fortune teller, and looks to be anywhere between 30 and 40. His skin is fairly dark, and his face is square-shaped with a strong jaw, a large, crooked nose, a large mouth with large lips, and narrowed eyes with small brown irises. His hair is dark blue in colour, messy, parted in the middle and neck-length.
Clothing.
He wears a very long, plain, beige, long-sleeved shirt with a high collar, plain, dark grey trousers, and black shoes. Under his shirt, he wears bandages on his chest, it being unknown if this is used to hide an injury or just for warmth.
Personality.
The Wars man initially appears very worn-down and depressed. He was disappointed with his life and angry that it had not turned out the way he had wanted. He had lost his faith in God. As his Kor-granted wishes began to take their toll on him, he became more aggressive and violent. The Wars man appeared quite ignorant, as when his three wishes came true, he was only aware of one of them. He could also be seen as cowardly, as when the fortune teller comes to take his soul as promised, he screams and tries to find a way out of it.
History.
Little has been revealed about the history of the Wars man, but as he was seen wandering the streets in a city that looks remarkably like Ria, it is possible that he lives there. He is implied to be an alcoholic.
As his wishes to the Kor were: money, a woman to love, and freedom, it can be deduced that he was poor, lonely and did not like how his life was being controlled. The Wars man had become so depressed with life that he had lost his belief in God. It also appears he has a job in the criminal underworld as he interacts with some shady figures and is hinted to participate in illegal activities.
Manga synopsis.
Meeting the fortune teller.
He is first seen wandering the streets of what looks like Ria. After shooting an admiring glance at a street fortune teller, she engages him in conversation. He explains to her that he is unhappy with the way his life had turned out, and she tempts him by offering him three wishes in exchange for his soul. The man agrees.
The three wishes.
He leaves and goes on to spend his wishes: finding a woman who he becomes involved with, and becoming successful at his job. He hands a suitcase to a man who upon seeing the contents comments that he looks forward to the next "stash", which implies he had begun dealing drugs. His lover tries to blackmail him into giving her half of the money, and he bludgeons her to death with a metal pipe.
As he gloats in the mirror, his reflection turns into that of the fortune teller, and she is ready to take his soul. When the man says only his wish for money came true, the fortune teller explains that the woman he wanted was now lying dead on the floor, and by killing her he had his freedom. She then takes his soul, and he becomes a Wars.
Death.
Now a Wars, he is later seen walking into the bar where he and his colleagues work. They assume he is drunk and demanding money, and one of them tells him to leave since they already paid him.
Ignoring them, the Wars man demands their souls and attacks one of them, seriously injuring him.
His co-workers fear for their lives, and before the Wars can kill any of them, Frau appears and unleashes his scythe. The scythe then devours the Wars man's soul, killing him for good.

The Wars Man's Gang are a group of unnamed, male minor characters who appeared in manga chapter 10 andanime episode 12. They were the Wars Man's co-workers before his death and are heavily implied to be criminals.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
One is bald, one has a pink mohawk, and the other three have short hair. All of them are rather tall and muscular.
Clothing.
All of them were dressed in casual clothes in either dark or neutral colours. One wore a green cap.
Personality.
They were shown to be shady figures, with coarse and aggressive personalities. However, when confronted with their co-worker's transformation into a Wars and Frau's punishment of him, they became frightened, which suggests that they are easily intimidated by the supernatural.
Relationships.
Wars Man.
They paid him for supplying them with something (implied to be drugs or some other illegal item) and he clearly had no objections to working with them. Upon seeing that he was no longer human, they were shocked.
Manga synopsis.
They were first seen looking inside a briefcase the Wars man had brought them, and told him they anticipated his "next stash". When he turned into a Wars, he returned to their hideout and demanded their souls. At first, they assumed that he was asking for more money, and told him to "get lost". However, he prepares to attack them and they retreat in shock and fright. Fortunately for them, Frau arrives and kills the Wars man. Frau then tells them to value their lives. It is unknown what happened to them after that.

fandom.07ghost | # Warsfeil
A Warsfeil is a dark sorcerer that has the ability to control a Wars without the person having had their three wishes granted by a Kor.
Warsfeil are feared because of their destructive power, apparent invulnerability, rumoured dependency on the souls of humans for survival (similar to how vampires are dependent on blood), and because they supposedly have given half of their souls to Verloren.
Etymology.
The word "Wars" possibly derives from "war". The word "war" is itself derived from the Germanic "werra" which means "fight".
The katakana ヴァルスファイル (warusufairu) may be a result of combining 'warusa' (which means bad, wickedness in Japanese) and 'fairu' (which means files).
Anatomy.
Warsfeil look like normal humans, and it is often hard to distinguish the two. However, it appears that there is a small difference between someone changed into a Warsfeil and someone who has been born a Warsfeil. As shown with Ayanami, Hyuuga and Kuroyuri, those born Warsfeil have slitted pupils like snakes, whereas Haruse, who was created, is drawn having normal eyes.
Temperament.
Due to them being humanoid, their personalities vary greatly, but most have been shown to be aggressive and murderous creatures. They also have a sadistic side to them and are capable of feeling human emotions. Some have a dark sense of humor.
Despite their violent personalities, they are very loyal to those who earn their trust and affection.
Overview.
Warsfeil are universally treated with fear and revile due to their reputation for having sold their souls to Verloren, the God of Death, and their rumoured dependency on human souls for survival. Many Warsfeil were used in experiments with the Eye of Mikhail. It is possible that some of them are enslaved and/or kept in prisons, as those Warsfeil were seen in an enclosed area and dressed in rags. They appear to have little rights as it was not seen as a loss that many of them were killed.
Executions on Warsfeil are common in the 7th District: a District which prides itself on accepting anyone, as Frau was going to be executed when he was mistaken for one. It appears that even Warsfeil serving as high-ranked officers in the Barsburg military are treated with suspicion, as Ayanami (as he is a Warsfeil) is forbidden from leaving Hohburg without permission, probably because the emperor of Barsburg thinks that there is a risk that the Black Hawks (Warsfeil unit in the Barsburg military) will use their powers against him (it is shown that Ayanami and Miroku were planning a mutiny).
It appears that the most powerful Warsfeil are found in the army, where the military has ensured their unique 'skills' are put to good use in battle. Aside from the Black Hawks, some Warsfeil are allowed to live like freemen if they have wealth and/or political influence, such as the Warren Family.
The authors have not stated or shown whether Warsfeil can enter heaven after death, though considering that Warsfeil are followers of Verloren, who has been barred from re-entering heaven, it seems unlikely.
Creation.
Bastien has confirmed that a Warsfeil can be created in two ways. A Warsfeil can be created by another Warsfeil (shown with Haruse), though how is unknown. To become a Warsfeil, it is rumoured that a person sacrifices their own soul to the God of Death, Verloren, and accepts the blood. The same Warsfeil that made that person into one can also take that curse away. However, people can also be born Warsfeil, as Bastien says there are those "taboo children who have inherited the blood through generations", which has been seen with the Warren Family, but it does not appear to be a dominant gene- as Warsfeil are rare (though their rarity could just be because most are executed).
It is heavily implied that those who are born Warsfeil are much stronger than those who 'sell their souls' to Verloren as a way of becoming one, as Konatsu was disowned by most of his family at a very young age for not being born a Warsfeil.
Being a predominantly or exclusively male species, it is likely that someone who is born Warsfeil inherits the blood from their father's side of the family.
Abilities and Attributes.
Among Warsfeil, there are varying levels of ability. Low-level Warsfeil tend to rely on Warsfeil Daggers, while more powerful Warsfeil do not have to use such weapons. Kuroyuri has been shown using one, but only for the purpose of framing Frau.
Similar to how those with a Zaiphon are able to manipulate pure life energy, mana, Warsfeil have the ability to control a Wars, which is a tainted mana. This can manifest itself in many forms, being either a ball of sludge that explodes upon impact or dark tendrils that ensnare opponents. Warsfeil have been shown to be able to use a Wars to guard something, harming anyone who touches the protected item.
More importantly is that a Warsfeil has the ability to create a Wars without their victims having bargained with a Kor, as in normal circumstances. They can make a Wars inhabit a corpse, and then control the movements of the body.
They have demonstrated the ability of teleporting from location to location and are also able to teleport other people.
A powerful Warsfeil can temporarily strengthen and nourish a weaker Warsfeil, as shown with Kuroyuri's feeding Haruse his/her blood after Haruse was weakened by Labrador's Wars-eating flowers.
Zaiphon.
All the Warsfeil in the series have a Zaiphon too. It is unknown if only those who have a Zaiphon can become Warsfeil. A distincive feature of a Warsfeil Zaiphon is that it is red instead of blue. This could be explained as a Zaiphon is life energy, and the life energy of a Warsfeil is tainted - the red of the Zaiphon could be a result of the corrupted life energy.
Healing.
Warsfeil are able to recover from injuries at an inhuman speed, at the expense of shortening their overall lifespan. Due to this, Warsfeil have been shown to have greater physical resilience, and can recover from physical injuries more quickly than ordinary humans. This means they can survive attacks that would kill or gravely injure ordinary humans, as seen in the case of Hyuuga.
History.
The manga reveals that an Emperor (sometimes translated as King) of the Barsburg Empire (it is unknown if this was the current Emperor) ordered the execution of all Warsfeil in the kingdom so there is no possibility that they could use their abilities against him. However, the Emperor decided to keep a small group alive, consisting of the few most powerful Warsfeil, under the instruction that they serve him whenever their help is needed in return for their lives. This group of Warsfeil is called the Black Hawks.
As of the final manga chapter, all Warsfeil leave the human world alongside their master.

fandom.07ghost | # Warsfeil Dagger
A Warsfeil Dagger is a basic weapon used mainly by low-level Warsfeil. It is unknown what purpose this dagger serves, but it is possible it is to channel the tainted mana into the victim, like a Baculus does for standard Zaiphon, as more powerful Warsfeil, such as the Black Hawks, have no need for them, though Kuroyuri has been shown using one (possibly due to his/her young age and relative inexperience).
The dagger appears as a normal dagger, with Zaiphon writing engraved onto the blade. The Imperial Guard has said that no normal human is able to hold the dagger without a seal. Bastien later says that only Warsfeil should be able to hold the dagger without harm, as the dagger is protected by a Wars, and if a human were to come into contact with a Wars, their body would be devoured.

fandom.07ghost | # Weldeschtein Krom Raggs
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Weldeschtein Krom Raggs is a minor protagonist and a in the 07-Ghost anime and manga series. He was the King of the fallen kingdom of Raggs, (now known as District 1), before its destruction during the Raggs War, and was Teito's father. He appears mostly in Teito's dreams, flashbacks and memories throughout the series. A marriage was arranged between him and the princess of Antwort for political reasons, creating an alliance between the two kingdoms of Raggs and Antwort. His true love was Teito's mother, Millea Klein, who became his concubine.
Krom was slain during the Raggs War by Ayanami, who was revealed to be his younger brother later in the series. Krom was the previous bearer of the Eye of Mikhail, before Teito, and was forced to give the Eye to Teito to stop his son's soul from being devoured by Verloren. Despite dying prior to the beginning of the series, Krom plays a highly important role throughout.
Etymology.
The name 'Weldeschtein' may come from the mountain in south Germany (the country which many aspects of the manga are based upon) known as the Wendelstein mountain. It is the highest peak in the Wendelstein massif. Wendelstein 7-X is also the name of a nuclear fusion reactor being built in Germany.
His middle name, 'Krom', seems to be derived from German and is apparently translated as 'grey'. So the origin of his name can be the German word 'Chrom' (since there isn't any other similar and fitting word in this language). 'Chrom' is the German word for the element ‘Chromium’ which is of a silver/grey colour. The romanji form of 'Krom', 'Kuromu', can be split into the Japanese words 'kuro' and 'mu', which mean 'black' and 'non-existence/non-being/nothing' respectively.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Krom appeared to be a tall man, estimated to stand at 180 cm as he was shown to be only slightly smaller than Ayanami, and his weight is unknown, but he appeared to have a slim build. He had a fairly strong jawline, with a long, thin nose and a small mouth with full lips. His eyes were narrow and brown in colour. His hair was cropped short, brown in colour and worn in a style similar to Teito's. On the whole, he looked like an older version of Teito, although Teito's eyes more closely resemble Millea's. Krom also greatly resembled his mother (who was seen in a family portrait in manga chapter 90).
Clothing.
He was seen wearing ankle-length robes that resemble the robes of a Bishop: a light-coloured cassock with white trimming on the collar, as well as the insignia of the Barsburg Empire on the collar. Over this he wore a long white outer cassock that hid his arms, and two shoulder pads that extended to cover his arms. The cassock was held together with a loose belt. Krom's most distinctive item of clothing was the Raggs necklace he wore, which was large, golden and almost rectangular in shape, with many charms dangling from the bottom. The rectangular piece was decorated with metal-work that resembled the branch-like protrusions Mikhail creates and in the center is the Eye of Mikhail.
As a king, Krom had a crown, but for some reason, he was never seen wearing it, and none of the other characters seemed to find this strange.
Personality.
Krom appeared to have a very kind and empathetic personality, as he held no feelings of contempt for Vanessa when she told him she had given his child to the Pope. He was very caring towards those around him, especially his son, Teito, whom he always thanked for being born, and his beloved concubine, Millea.
Krom was also shown to put the lives of others before his own, as when he learnt of Barsburg declaring war on Raggs, he refused to leave his people and flee, instead saying that he would stay behind and it is the people of Raggs who should flee to safety. He also asked his brother, Fea Kreuz, to erase his memories (very dear to him) of Tiashe in order to protect the boy from those who wanted to find out where and to whom the Eye had been passed on.
A chapter in the manga (Kapitel 86) suggests that Krom was modest and somewhat self-deprecating. When talking about his painting hobby, he said that he 'was never any good at it', despite being talented enough to have one of his paintings published in a magazine.
Relationships.
Family.
Krom's Father and Krom's Mother.
Krom has been shown to be close to his parents . After his mother's death, his father warned his three sons (Krom , Kruez , Krowell ) not to move around by themselves and subsequently tightened the security within Raggs castle, displaying a caring personality towards his children.
Teito Klein.
Krom loved Teito, who was born by the woman he loved the most, deeply, and he valued Teito's life above all else. He always thanked Teito for being born, and became frightened when he found out that he was in the hands of the Pope.
During the Raggs War, Krom did all he could to ensure his only son's safety, sending him away with his best bodyguards, and asking his brother to erase all his memories of Teito, for fear that people would find and harm him. He was willing to surrender his possession of the Eye of Mikhail in order to stop his son's soul from being devoured by Verloren. When Teito had to flee the Raggs royal home during the Raggs War, Krom was apparently sad at not being able to leave with his son.
Fea Kreuz.
Krom appeared close to his younger brother, Kreuz, and was saddened when he realized that they may not see each other again after the Raggs War. Kreuz was one of Krom's attendants, and accompanied him to the International Peace Summit in Kapitel 86.
Krom apparently greatly trusted Kreuz, entrusting his younger brother with Teito during the Raggs War. Krom and Kreuz have also been seen together on more than one occasion in flashbacks of Teito's past, while taking care of Teito.
In Kapitel 86, Krom asked Emperor Wolfram to keep his (Krom's) submission of a painting he (Krom) had done to a magazine a secret, but Kreuz mentioned that he knew of it, showing that Krom was confident Kreuz would not betray his private matters.
Krom knew Kreuz was Vertrag.
Krowell Raggs.
According to Millea Klein , Krowell was deeply loved by his siblings, but died during childhood. It is as yet unknown why Krowell/Ayanami betrayed his family and killed his brothers.
Despite his ruthlessness towards Krom, Ayanami seems to respect his brother , as he constantly refers to him as the King of Raggs , and never once called him by his name until his final battle with Teito. However, Ayanami also resents his brother's immediate fondness for strangers, as shown in Kapitel 97, where Ayanami calls him a hypocrite for such a trait.
Millea Klein.
Krom and Millea loved each other deeply, and had a close personal relationship. They first met when Krom was out one day while disguised as a painter. Although Millea's hat was stained with paint, she declined Wolfram's offer to get a new hat for her, and kept the hat as a reminder of her first encounter with Krom. When Krom proposed to Millea, it was snowing, and snow is seen as a symbol of love in Japan.
Krom wanted to marry Millea, but was unable to, due to her status as a commoner. However, Millea didn't care and became a concubine just so she could stay by his side. Krom was very upset when Millea fell ill, with Teito saying Krom always looked sad, and took care of her throughout her illness, also often visiting her with their son, Teito. Queen Vanessa said that the reason Krom loved Teito so much was because he was reminded of Millea whenever he looked at Teito.
Ten years later, Millea keeps Krom in her thoughts, saying that Teito is the spitting image of him . In Kapitel 87 , she saw him in a long dream she had while still comatose . Strangely, despite their close personal relationship, Millea is apparently still mindful of the difference between their social statuses, constantly referring to him as 'Krom-sama'.
Vanessa Antwort.
Vanessa and Krom's marriage was arranged for political reasons, to ally Raggs with Antwort. Despite the fact that their marriage was arranged, Vanessa truly loved Krom and called him 'dear'. However, although he was kind and respectful towards her, he did not truly love her as he did with his concubine, Millea .
Vanessa knew this and was almost driven to insanity as a result. Despite their somewhat strained relationship, Krom easily forgave Vanessa when he discovered her crimes, and was clearly shocked when she had a hysterical outburst over his love of Millea and Teito, indicating that he did not think badly of her.
Others.
Mikhail.
Unlike with Teito, Mikhail's relationship with Krom, who was the bearer of the Eye of Mikhail before Teito, has not been shown in much detail.
Krom has been shown teaching Teito how to use the Eye of Mikhail, when Teito was a child. Krom handed the Eye to Teito to prevent Teito's soul from being devoured by Verloren. Having been a bearer of the Eye of Mikhail, Krom presumably knew Mikhail's personality and abilities. Mikhail has not commented on Krom's death.
In Kapitel 92, it was shown in a flashback that when Mikhail saw Krom being executed, he briefly possessed Teito and tried to save Krom, but was unable to , implying that Mikhail may have some respect for Krom .
Agas, Mark and Karan.
Krom's bodyguards were loyal to him, protecting Krom's brother, Kreuz, and son, Tiashe, at the cost of their own lives.
Agas apparently cared for Weldeschtein, as he and Kreuz were once shown sharing concerns about Weldeschtein's relationship with Millea Klein. Agas was once shown talking to Kreuz about Krom's relationship with Millea.
Krom's bodyguards seems to accompanied Krom whenever he goes . They worried about Krom implanting the Eye of Mikhail into Teito and seemed to be surprised at his decision. Krom put a lot of faith not only in Agas but the other members as well on leaving Teito in their hands with Fea Kreuz.
In Kapitel 87, the Black Beast Squadron and Weldeschtein is seen in a dream flashback by Millea Klein when she awakens.
Dalia Barsburg.
Krom and Dalia seemed to get along well and were fairly friendly with each other. In Kapitel 86, Dalia complimented Krom on a speech he had made, to which Krom replied that it was an honour to hear that.
Wolfram Eifeler Barsburg.
It is hinted that at first, Wolfram and Weldeschtein were on fairly good terms, as in Kapitel 86, they were shown speaking to each other in a rather friendly and informal manner . Weldeschtein also commented that he was glad that he could speak to Wolfram about something other than politics.
However, Wolfram was bitterly jealous of Weldeschtein for having Millea's love, to the extent that he eventually made a contract with the Shadow Man and waged war on the Raggs kingdom, bringing Millea to Barsburg.
Although capable of making polite conversation with Krom, Wolfram found Krom annoying and was, at times, reluctant to talk to him. He once briefly expressed interest in Krom's painting hobby, but quickly became annoyed with himself for doing so.
King Antwort.
Little is known about King Antwort's relationship with his son-in-law, but considering that Antwort eventually seceded from its alliance with Raggs and stole Pandora's Box from Raggs, it is possible that King Antwort, unlike his daughter, did not like or respect Krom and Antwort's alliance with Raggs.
Abilities and Attributes.
Krom was the former host of the Eye of Mikhail, before he gave it to Teito. It is unknown if he had a Zaiphon, or if he possessed any fighting ability, as he was not shown defending himself when soldiers attacked him. However, it is very likely that he did have a Zaiphon.
History.
Childhood.
Krom's history has been shown in short flashbacks throughout the series, and has only been shown in great detail in manga chapters 63 and 64. He was born the eldest son of Teito's unnamed paternal grandparents. As a member of royalty, it is likely that Krom had a very privileged upbringing. At some point he inherited the Eye of Mikhail, and ascended the Raggs throne.
Marriage.
In order to bring the two countries of Raggs and Antwort together, he married Princess Vanessa Antwort, although his true love was a woman named Millea Klein, whom he was unable to marry because she was not of royal blood. Millea became a concubine and gave birth to a son called Tiashe (later known as Teito Klein).
Pre-Raggs War.
Because Krom could never love Vanessa in the way he loved Millea, Queen Vanessa was very bitter and jealous of her and Tiashe. She wanted to kill Tiashe, but guilt overcame her and she eventually could not do it. Upon being cheated by the Pope, she gave the child to him.
Krom didn't know that the Pope wanted to revive Verloren, and he was tricked into making his son into Pandora's Box. The Pope asked him to use his powers to move Verloren's body into another coffin, and Krom did so, unaware that the Pope had put his son inside the coffin, meaning Teito was made into a human container of Pandora's Box.
When the truth came out later, and Kreuz rescued Teito, Krom released his hold on the Eye of Mikhail and put it into his son's body so that Archangel Mikhail would stop Tiashe's soul from being destroyed by Verloren's body.
Raggs War.
When it was revealed that Barsburg had received the message of the Pope's actions, they began to attack, and Krom refused to escape to a safe place, saying that the people of Raggs should evacuate first. He opted to stay behind, and sent his brother, Kreuz, to take Teito to the God Houses, hoping that they will make it to Seele. He gives Teito one last goodbye message, thanking him for being born, and then asks his brother to erase his memories of Teito before he departs, saying that if he was captured, Barsburg could read his memories and discover that Raggs' national treasure, the Eye of Mikhail, was now inside Tiashe.
The circumstances surrounding his death have not been made entirely clear; so far it has only been revealed that he was stabbed to death by Barsburg's Chief of Staff and his younger brother, Ayanami.
Post-Raggs War.
The imperial army performed an autopsy on his corpse to search for the Eye of Mikhail. Since he had a truly benevolent nature, it is likely that he could enter Heaven.
Synopsis.
Krom is mostly shown through Teito's flashbacks, and also appeared in a dream Millea had. In Kapitel 86, Krom was seen in a flashback of Emperor Wolfram's. During the Hausen House arc, Xingfa Hausen briefly mentioned Krom.

fandom.07ghost | # Wen
Wen is a minor character who only appears once in the manga series of 07-Ghost. An Old English sheepdog who died within the Barsburg Church of an unknown (unnatural) cause, Wen was mourned by his owner, a nameless elderly man. When Wen's owner asked for help, Castor used his powers as the Ghost Fest to tie the dog's soul to his owner's- allowing him to live by sharing his owner's life force.
Etymology.
Wen is a name of Chinese origin that has various possible meanings, and one of its possible meanings is 'warm'. Another possible meaning of 'wen' is 'ask'. The word 'wen' is also used to describe the glories of the rare white jade in Chinese.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Wen is a large dog with a long, thick, shaggy, light-coloured coat. Like most Old English sheepdogs, Wen has a mop of hair covering his face and eyes.
Personality.
Wen is loyal and caring.
Relationships.
The old man and his dog were very close to each other, as the old man pledges his soul in return for the dog to be made well again. The old man also says that Wen had promised to guard him till he died. Wen also cares for his owner, as his soul did not immediately leave the mortal world.
History.
Little is known of Wen, although the old man's dialogue with Castor hints that dog and owner have been together for a long time.
Manga Synopsis.
Wen's death and revival.
Bishop Castor encounters the old man holding his dead dog by the Church fountain. The old man tells the Bishop that his dog's body is still warm.
Seeing how sad the old man looks, Castor asks the old man what he would give in return, and the old man replies that he would give his soul. Castor then uses his powers as the Ghost Fest to tie the dog's soul, which still lingered behind as the body is fresh, to his owner- allowing the dog to live by sharing the life of his owner.
When the dog suddenly wakes, Castor laughs that Wen had only been sleeping. The old man and the dog thank God and then leave, unaware of what really happened because they could not see Castor's Ghostly powers at work. They have not been seen again, and their current status is unknown.

fandom.07ghost | # Wendi Skyrunner
The Wendi Skyrunner (more commonly known as the Hawkzile dragon) is a common species of dragon found in the 07-Ghost universe.
Etymology.
"Wendi" is an English name meaning "blessed". "Wendi" is also a variant of "Wendy", an English name that means "friend".
Anatomy.
The Wendi Skyrunner is a similar size to a horse, covered with black fur with feathered wings, and has a streamline, long, thin body. They have bulbous throats like the Ribidzile Dragon, suggesting they may be a closely related species, or indeed the adult form.
Temperament.
At night, the creatures are vicious and will ferociously attack any ships that come near them, but during the day, they are docile. Their choice as a means of transportation suggests they are creatures that are undisturbed by loud noises and bright lights, and unconfused by multiple, moving objects.
They are carnivorous creatures.
Ecology.
They appear to be comfortable in both the wilderness and man-made places.

fandom.07ghost | # Winkhob
Winkhobs are amphibious, frog-like creatures that are native to the 7th District, often found in the paddy fields where residents grow their rice. They are quite common. The winkhob is first introduced when Teito goes to the Church bazaar with Mikage and arrive when Bishop Frau is taking them to be cooked. Winkhobs are apparently very tasty and are considered a delicacy within District 7. They have not been seen in the series since Teito left the Church, suggesting they are only found, or only eaten, in the 7th District.
Etymology.
The name "winkhob" may be a reference to their cyclopean appearance of having only one eye.
Anatomy.
Winkhobs resemble frogs in appearance, only being much larger in size. They have rough-textured purple skin, with a very large mouth and full cheeks. The winkhob has a rather large and bulbous head in comparison to its body with four, muscular legs, and webbed feet with four toes each. The winkhob's most distinguishing feature is its large, yellow, single eye.
Resemblance to real-world fauna.
The winkhobs resemble frogs.
Temperament.
The winkhobs appear harmless and docile, also being lazy creatures that do not move around very much. They do not appear to be wary of humans, as they were very calm when Frau man-handled them, which suggests they make their home in man-made structures, such as the Church reservoir and are used to man's presence.
Ecology.
They are found in aquatic environments.
Farming and as food.
Winkhob are eaten.

| Wolfram |
fandom.07ghost | # Wolfram Eifeler Barsburg
Wolfram Eifeler Barsburg is Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg's father and Dalia Barsburg's widower. As of his last appearance in the manga, he was emperor regent, ruling the Barsburg Empire until Ouka could inherit the imperial throne when she came of age, though it is likely that Ouka has since ascended to the throne after the timeskip at the end of the manga. Wolfram is a protagonist, previously an antagonist while under the influence of the Shadow Man, and first appeared in Kapitel 79.
Etymology.
'Wolfram' can mean 'tungsten' in German. His middle name, 'Eifeler', may be derived from a linguistic phenomenon called Eifeler Regel .
'Bars' is a German word and has the same meaning in English. 'Burg' is German for 'castle'.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Wolfram is a tall man, estimated to stand at 180 cm as his height is similar to Weldeschtein Krom Raggs's. His weight is unknown, but he has a stocky build. He has narrow eyes and an angular face. His hair is short, light-coloured and wavy, with several strands falling over his forehead. As he is a royal, he probably has pale skin.
When Wolfram was younger (in the days before the Raggs War), he was noticeably slimmer than he is at present, suggesting that he put on a lot of weight over the years.
Clothing.
He wears elaborate, formal clothing.
Personality.
In the beginning, Wolfram appeared to have a very cruel, vicious and power-hungry personality, as he was shown to be wiling to sacrifice his wife and daughter to serve his own goals. However, in manga chapter 86, it was revealed that actually he was not that selfish or/and cruel (as he wanted to congratulate Millea when he heard that she had given birth to a son, though he deeply loved her and was grieved) before he made a contract with the Shadow Man.
Wolfram has a rather impatient and short-tempered disposition.
Relationships.
With his family.
Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg
Wolfram and Ouka did not seem to get along well at first. It has been revealed that the Ouka who has been shown to the readers so far is not the real daughter of Wolfram, but just a replica or a clone created in the laboratory using information of the real Ouka (manga chapter 83). He said that her only remaining job is to kill the last descendant of the Raggs Family, Teito Klein.
Wolfram initially did not seem to care for (this) Ouka, and seemed to think nothing of having her killed. He has planned her assassination, impliedly more than once (manga chapter 79). When Nanase said that it would be better to let Ouka live for some more time because there are still a lot of things unknown about the Eye of Raphael, Wolfram grew angry and insisted on killing her before she took the throne at sixteen. However, in manga chapter 87, it was revealed that Wolfram actually does love his daughter, and was probably manipulated by the mysterious Defect into developing a change in attitude towards Ouka. He is shown to be protective of Ouka once he overcomes the Defect's influence and wanted to stay with her when Ayanami came towards her.
Ouka has casually referred to Wolfram as 'my old man'.
Dalia Barsburg
At first, it appeared that Wolfram did not care for his wife, the former empress of Barsburg, as he had planned for or was behind her assassination and said that it is farcical that Barsburg should be ruled by female rulers only (manga chapter 79). However, in manga chapter 86, it was shown that he and Dalia got along fairly well in the days before the Raggs War, so it is possible that the Shadow Man influenced his attitude and feelings towards Dalia. Wolfram's feelings for Millea did adversely affect his relationship with Dalia, though, as shown in manga chapter 86: when Dalia tried to engage Wolfram in conversation, Wolfram's responses were distracted and halfhearted, as he was preoccupied with thoughts of Millea. He also clearly did not feel sad when she died.
Given that Wolfram was in love with Millea, it is probable that he was not in love with Dalia. It is as yet unclear what Dalia's feelings towards Wolfram were. She presumably chose Wolfram as the fiance candidate she liked the most at her Groom Choosing masquerade ball. Dalia was probably unaware of her husband's feelings for Millea, or if she was aware, she did not voice it.
Millea Klein
Wolfram was, and still is, in love with Millea. He took care of her after she fell ill. While under the influence of the Defect, he started the Raggs War so that Millea could be brought to his side.
With others.

It seems that at first, Wolfram and Weldeschtein were on fairly good terms, as in manga chapter 86, they were shown speaking to each other in a rather friendly and informal manner, Weldeschtein commenting that he was glad that he could speak to Wolfram about something other than politics. However, Wolfram was bitterly jealous of Weldeschtein for having Millea's love, to the extent that he eventually made a contract with the S
hadow Man and waged war on the Raggs kingdom, bringing Millea to Barsburg.
Although capable of making polite conversation with Krom, Wolfram found Krom annoying and was, at times, reluctant to talk to him. He once briefly expressed interest in Krom's painting hobby, but quickly became annoyed with himself for doing so. While he eventually succumbed to his jealousy towards the King of Raggs, he at first refused to wage war with him and stated that he respected him enough to let him be with Millea and before the Shadow Man came in, he was even willing to congratulate him and Millea for having a child.
Defect.
It seems that the Defect manipulated Wolfram into waging war on the kingdom of Raggs ten years ago. Wolfram seemed to greatly respect the Defect at first and told his advisors that thanks to the Defect, the Raggs War went well. However, in Kapitel 85, when Teito pointed the light of the Eye of Mikhail at him, Wolfram started to regain his conscience, and it is likely that he no longer respects the Defect.
The Defect was later revealed to be Landkarte (Katsuragi), or at least something manipulating Landkarte
History.
Early childhood.
Wolfram was presumably born into a prestigious family. He once said that before Millea declined his affections, there hadn't been one thing he wasn't able to obtain, and his social status was high enough to secure him the position of one of Empress Dalia's fiance candidates and eventually her husband. As a child, he met and became friends with Millea Klein.
Adulthood.
At some point, Wolfram married Empress Dalia, but fell in love with his childhood friend Millea, who did not return his feelings. Millea later became the beloved concubine of Weldeschtein Krom Raggs and gave birth to a son. Wolfram was deeply upset, but resolved to be happy for Millea and planned to send her congratulatory flowers. However, the mysterious and manipulative Defect tempted him to start the Raggs War so Millea could be brought to Barsburg.
Wolfram was revealed to have been heavily involved in the Raphael project, a series of brainwashing and cloning experiments that eventually resulted in his wife's death.

fandom.07ghost | # Xingfa Hausen
Xingfa Hausen is the twelfth Head of the Hausen House, a God House located in District 6, where he has been the Head for around ten years. He is Xing-lu Hausen's father and Lady Hausen's widower, as well as the adoptive father of Seilan and the Hausen House Servants.
Following the Raggs War, his son's head was demanded in repayment for his (Xingfa's) support of Raggs during the war, but Xingfa planned to have Razette killed in his son's place. This plan failed, Castor was killed trying to save her, and his son's death prompted his wife to became a Wars.
Unwilling to lose his wife after the death of his son, Xingfa had Lady Hausen trapped in the house and he fed her on those who came to the house seeking to go to Seele. Once the Wars had been destroyed by Teito Klein, he thanks him for freeing the lady, and tells him to return "home" soon.
Etymology.
'Xing fa' can have more than one meaning in Chinese. One possible meaning is 'acceptable/okay/all right method'.
'Haus' is German for 'house'.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Xingfa's appearance has changed little over the space of ten years. He looks old and frail, moving with the aid of a walking stick, and has an oval-shaped face with a pointy nose, a small mouth with marionette lines, and small eyes. His hair is light-coloured, and reaches his mid-back, tied in a ponytail, with a full fringe, and longer bangs at each side of his face. As he is a noble it can be guessed he has fair skin. He bears a resemblance to his son Castor, mainly the nose and hair colour.
Xingfa appears to be considerably older than his wife.
Clothing.
He wears a thick, ankle-length overcoat, with a large neck-guard, and embroidery on the chest. Over this he wears a crochet cape, and a scarf.
Personality.
Xingfa first appeared to be kind and polite, but was later revealed to be a suspicious and calculating person, ordering his subordinates to kill Teito. When his son was alive, he was shown to be a rather cold person. However, he does have a caring side, as shown when he broke down and told Xinglu that he could not let him die.
Relationships.
Family.
Xing-lu Hausen.
Xingfa did not appear close with his son at first. Though presenting the image of a loving father to the public, Xingfa made an effort to coach Castor to ignore abuse from members of the family that thought him too young to succeed as head of the house, and he did this by behaving in a cold and professional manner towards him: criticising him for showing indecisiveness and warning him of the family members that watched him and waited for weakness. As a result, Xing-lu often felt neglected.
In the aftermath of the Raggs War, Xingfa showed he truly did care for his son, despite his initial apathy, as he broke down before his son, telling Xing-lu he could not let him die. Xingfa remained desperate, willing to kill Razette to spare his son's life.
Lady Hausen.
Xingfa's relationship with his wife has not been shown in much detail, but Xingfa appeared to love his wife very much. Xing-lu said that 'Mother belongs to Father'. After his wife's grief induced bargain with a Kor and evolution into a Wars, Xingfa was unwilling to have a Bishop destroy her. He kept her trapped in the house, hid her existence from the public, and resorted to feeding her those who came searching for Seele. He expressed regret on how he couldn't save her.
Other residents of the House.
Seilan: Xingfa adopted Seilan many years before the series start, and treated him kindly and as if he were a member of his family. Seilan is loyal to Xingfa.
Hausen House Servants: Xingfa adopted the three nameless servants sometime before the series start. It appears he likes them and treats them with kindness, as they are very loyal to him.
Razette: Xingfa apparently did not care for Razette, and was willing to kill her to spare his son's life.
Others.
Teito Klein: Xingfa was suspicious of Teito at first, seeing him as a threat to the Hausen House's reputation. His lack of care towards Teito resulted in him trying to kill Teito. However, Xingfa admits to Teito that his hatred was due to desperation from losing his wife, and their relationship improved after Teito set Lady Hausen's soul free.
History.
Childhood.
Xingfa's past is mostly unknown. He was born into the main branch of the noble, affluent God House of Hausen, a family that can trace its bloodline back to the Ghost Fest.
Adulthood.
Xingfa became the thirteenth head of the household, a title he inherited from one of his parents (probably his own father). He married a noblewoman, whose name is unknown, and would later have a child by her, naming this child Xing-lu Hausen. At one point, Xingfa took in multiple orphans, one of these being Seilan.
Pre-Raggs War.
With a young son to inherit the family title, Xingfa made an effort to shield Castor from any criticism by family members who believed Castor too young to command them. Though presenting the image of a loving father to the public, he did this by behaving in a cold and professional manner towards him: criticising his son for showing indecisiveness and warning him of the family members that watched him and waited for weakness. As a result, Xing-lu often felt neglected.
Raggs War.
During the Raggs War, each of the Seven Houses of God chose sides, and battles were fought between houses who chose Barsburg, and houses who chose Raggs. The Hausen House sided with Raggs.
Castor's death and reincarnation.
Following Raggs' defeat, to appease the God Houses that fought with Barsburg and to prevent them from destroying entire bloodlines, the Houses that sided with Raggs said that they would kill the Head of their house. Xing-lu, being the heir to the Hausen Family was no exception.
Xingfa, was outraged at the idea. He organised a plan to save his son; proposing that the Noel Mermaid Xing-lu had saved long ago, Razette, change her face to look like Xing-lu's- and they decapitate her, and give her head instead. When Castor adamantly refused, Xingfa broke down and held onto his son tightly, begging him not to give himself up.
Razette soon appeared, willing to die for Castor, and shapeshifted to look like Castor. Xingfa drew his sword and lunged at her to kill her, but Castor threw himself in the way and the blow impaled him through the chest. Castor was mortally injured.
As he took his final breath, Castor looked up to see the God of the Hausen House, Fest, standing before him.
Aftermath.
Xing-lu would later die from his injuries, his head was presented to the Barsburg families, and Xingfa became head of the House once again, a position he has held ever since.
The death of Lady Hausen.
After Xing-lu's death, Lady Hausen was stricken with grief and became depressed. She locked herself in her son's room and would not leave. A Kor found her, and she bargained with it in return for her son. After having all three wishes granted, she became a Wars, and her tainted soul inhabited one of her son's dolls of her.
Xingfa Hausen was unable to have her destroyed, as he did not want to lose a son and a wife, so he had the Wars trapped in Xing-lu's room. He fed her on those who came to the God House to find the Cursed Tickets. The story told to the authorities and the outside world was that the Lady Hausen 'disappeared' after a bout of grief-induced madness.
Manga Synopsis.
Hausen House.
Xingfa is first introduced when Teito Klein arrives at the Hausen House looking to receive the cursed ticket, where he welcomes Teito warmly and gives him a change of clothes- the clothes of his son, Xing-lu Hausen.
The following morning, Xingfa invites Teito to dine with him. As Teito eats Xingfa tells Teito he knows he has been trained to kill as he can smell blood on him. Teito simply replies that Xingfa smells of blood too, and then presents the evidence of the attack (as Teito was attacked the night before) to him. Xingfa looks on as Teito tells him the attacker will help him find the Cursed Ticket.
A poisoned meal.
Following the meal, Xingfa overhears his servants taking about how they poisoned his (Teito's) food. However, Teito noticed and did not eat it all. Xingfa admonishes his servants for engaging in such risky behaviour; as Teito's death will alarm the Bishop that came with him. The servants quickly apologise, and Xingfa tells them they must stop Teito getting to Seele.
The trap in Xing-lu's room.
Xingfa orchestrates a trap to directly feed Teito to the Wars. His servants lead Teito to Xing-lu's room where the Wars is and then release it into the room.
After the battle, which eventually results in Teito purifying Lady Hausen's soul and sending her to heaven, Xingfa appears, where he explains his actions to Teito. The room is suddenly filled with a bright light, and the Ghost Fest appears before Teito Klein, asking him if he will accept the Cursed Ticket.
The cursed ticket.
Once Fest leaves and the light recedes, Xingfa approaches Teito, seeing he has received the ticket. He asks Teito who his family is, and Teito replies that his father was Weldeschtein Krom Raggs. Xinga is shocked, as it is general knowledge that the King of Raggs did not have a child, but remembers that a child of a concubine was kept a secret, and ultimately believes Teito. He thanks Teito for his help in freeing his wife, and tells Seilan to lead Teito out. He gives Teito a final warning that the path he takes, "is filled with venomous snakes".
At the end of the series, Castor regains his humanity and is discovered by Seilan while on a visit to Lady Hausen's grave, meaning that Xingfa and his son may have reunited.

fandom.07ghost | # Yukikaze
Yukikaze is a minor antagonist who once served as Ayanami's Begleiter before Ayanami rose to the position of the Barsburg Armed Forces' Chief of Staff. Yukikaze was killed protecting Ayanami in Raggs Castle. He was one of the four earliest members of the Black Hawks.
Etymology.
Yukikaze is the name of a Japanese destroyer battleship. This name can be ironic in that Yukikaze (the ship) was the only member of its class to survive World War II, whereas Yukikaze (the character) is the only member of the Black Hawks who has not survived.
In the Japanese language, 'yuki' means snow and 'kaze' means 'wind'. 'Yukikaze' means 'windblown snow'.
Appearance.
Yukikaze officially appeared in manga chapter 98. Before that, his appearance had long been debatable. In the pilot chapter "Begleiter ", when Hyuuga is talking about that Begleiter whom Ayanami confided in, there is a light-haired man seen kneeling beside Ayanami and in the next grid seen fighting back to back with Ayanami in a flashback, that could very well be Yukikaze. However, in manga Kapitel 26, when the snow and wind is blowing, Ayanami remembers a man with black hair and eyes who says to him: "Watashi no ou wa anata dake desu, Ayanami-sama (I have only one king, which is you, Ayanami-sama)". In Japan, many fans believe that this man was Yukikaze (possibly because they think there is a metaphorical hint in chapter 26, as in the Japanese language, 'yukikaze' means 'wind-blown snow', and they suspect that when Ayanami says "Oh, Yuki.." at the time, he means Yukikaze instead of the snow).
In Ayanami's eyes, Yukikaze was beautiful, as Ayanami said "You are also beautiful when you are under cherry blossom petals" in the first drama CD.
In light of manga chapter 98, Yukikaze is about half a head taller than Ayanami.
Clothing.
When shown in the pilot chapter, Yukikaze wears the standard Black Hawk uniform: a black, or dark blue, ankle-length overcoat with golden trimmings on the chest, sleeve cuffs and neck guard. He wears black trousers and knee-length, black, buckled boots and white gloves similar to the other Black Hawks. His uniform has a small half mantle hanging off his left shoulder emblazoned with the Barsburg military insignia and a golden shoulder board on his right.
He also wears round glasses.
Relationships.
Superiors.
Ayanami.
Yukikaze was Ayanami's servant and best friend even during the latter's childhood , when Ayanami was still a Raggs prince. Yukikaze meet his demise after defending Ayanami in a battle
In the first 07-Ghost drama CD "The Love Letter which God Receives", Ayanami is seen visits Yukikaze's grave and showed a gentle side that he never shows to other Black Hawks , thus rising a conspiracy theory that Ayanami may not have been so expressionless before Yukikaze's death.
Hyuuga said in the drama "Yukikaze is smiling, saying Aya-tan is a superior who is so stubborn that it's slightly embarrassing". So, it appears that Yukikaze was indulgent of Ayanami.
It seems that Ayanami was unable to forgive himself for failing to ensure Yukikaze's safety , as even though Yukikaze has been deceased for more than ten years, Ayanami has been rejecting anyone who applies for that a Begleiter position. Ayanami still refused to develop a close relationship with another Begleiter until Yukinami become his Begleiter.
Ayanami somehow wishes that Yukikaze had not meet him (as Yukikaze may still be alive if he hadn't crossed path with Ayanami during the latter's childhood , and that Yukikaze wouldn't have left his family and motherland to follow Ayanami to Barsburg when the latter was exiled).
Presumably, Ayanami might have harbored romantic feelings for Yukikaze, judging from the way he phrases his meetings with Yukikaze. Hyuuga said that Ayanami and Yukikaze were very close, pratically married, and that Yukikaze cared a great deal for Ayanami, as he "served Aya-tan without a second thought for his own life". Ayanami has also said that Yukikaze is "the only Begleiter I have loved", and that he loved when it was just the two of them alone . Yukikaze's death took its toll on Ayanami emotionally and physically (as Ayanami said in the drama that he felt his time had stopped since Yukikaze left him and Ayanami's desire to keep the Black Hawks close to him). When Hyuuga point out that Yukikaze isn't the only one cared about Ayanami , Ayanami warned Hyuuga by pointing his sword at him.
It's unknown if Yukikaze knows that Ayanami is Verloren's reincarnation .
Peers.
Hyuuga.
Although they have never been seen interacting during the series, it's probable that Hyuuga has worked with Yukikaze, considering what his words in "Begleiter "and the first drama.
However, despite the fact that they were once comrades, it's hinted Hyuuga holds a grudge against Yukikaze , as seen when Hyuuga open claiming Yukikaze wasn't the only one who cares about Ayanami , thus give some fans theories that Hyuuga hate Yukikaze particularly jealous of the bond he had with Ayanami . As a result of Hyuuga's statement that Yukikaze being not the only one who cares , Ayanami giving Hyuuga a warning by pointing his sword out
Katsuragi.
Considering that Katsuragi was one of the original four Black Hawks, it's likely that he knew Yukikaze somehow .
In Kapitel 89, giving Landkarte clearly showing disapproves of Verloren's coming to know love and hate after he meet Eve, he may also dislike Yukikaze, whom Ayanami loved, for the same reason.
Raggs Family.
Krom's Father.
Yukikaze's relationship with the previous Raggs king is unknown , but it's hinted that they had mix-feelings toward each other . It's likely that the Raggs king acknowledge Yukikaze as Krowell's servant and friend . Considering the previous Raggs king happen to be the beloved father Krowell Raggs (AKA Ayanami) , Yukikaze probably does respect the previous Raggs king to some extent
However , given that the previous Raggs king exiled Krowell to Barsburg after he became a Warsfeil and regaining his memories as Verloren , it's hinted that though Yukikaze may respect the previous Raggs king , though this respect is still limited down to a level .
Apart from their shared connection to Krowell , no other interactions have been shown between them .
Krom's Mother.
Yukikaze's relationship with the previous Raggs queen is unknown . Since she is Krowell's mother , it's hinted that Yukikaze does respect the Raggs queen to some extent .
It's unknown if Yukikaze actually witness or participate in the previous Raggs queen's murdered .
Weldeschtein Krom Raggs.
Yukikaze's relationship with Krom is unknown , but it's hinted that they had a complicated relationship . It's likely that Krom acknowledge Yukikaze as Krowell's servant and friend . Yukikaze may have some respect for Krom , who in turn is Krowell's older brother .
After the previous Raggs king exiled Krowell to Barsburg for becoming a Warsfeil and gained his memories as Verloren back, Yukikaze didn't contact Krom , and the same can be said for the latter . Krom has not commented on Yukikaze's death and Yukikaze has not commented on Krom's death despite the fact that they both died at some point during the Raggs War .
Fea Kreuz Raggs.
Yukikaze's relationship with Fea is unknown , but it's hinted that they known each other before . It's likely that Fea acknowledge Yukikaze as Krowell's servant and friend . Yukikaze may have some respect for Fea , since Fea is Krowell's older brother .
After the previous Raggs king exiled Krowell to Barsburg due to he becoming a Warsfeil and got his memories of Verloren back , Yukikaze did not contact Fea , and the same thing can be say for the latter . It's unknown if Yukikaze knows that Fea was Vertrag , one of the Seven Ghosts .
History.
Early life.
Yukikaze was Ayanami's servant in the kingdom of Raggs. When Ayanami faced persecution for remembering that he is Verloren, Yukikaze fled with Ayanami to Barsburg.
Death.
The "Begleiter" pilot chapter reveals that Ayanami had a Begleiter before he became the Chief of Staff and they were very close.
Later, that Begleiter died defending Ayanami in a battle. He took a sword attack for Ayanami, at the time reminding Ayanami, who had regained Verloren's memory when he attended Dalia Barsburg's coronation party, of Eve's and King Krom's deaths.
Differences in the manga and anime.
Death.
In "Begleiter", Hyuuga says Ayanami's Begleiter died before he (Ayanami) became the Chief of Staff.
In the anime, during the Raggs War, Ayanami was already wearing the spiky epaulet on his shoulder and his uniform had the additional trim which only the field-marshal and chief of staff's uniforms have, so it is probable that Ayanami was the Chief of Staff during the Raggs War, meaning Yukikaze's death should have been before the Raggs War.
However, in the manga Yukikaze died during the Raggs War.

fandom.07ghost | # Yukinami
Yukinami is a minor character in the 07-Ghost manga series, not having been introduced in the anime series so far. He is a battle slave from Antwort who, along with his twin brother Suzunami, was freed by the Black Hawks during the Antwort War. He is only able to speak the language of Raggs, meaning many are unable to understand him. Yukinami appears to be the younger twin, and is distinguished by his light coloured hair.
Etymology.
Yuki means 'snow' and Nami means 'wave'.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Yukinami appears as a young boy believed to be in his teens. According to the omake Supreme Sugar, he is 168 cm tall and weighs 55 kg. Due to his slim build and androgynous features, he is often mistaken for a girl.
Yukinami has a round face with fair skin, large, light-coloured eyes, a small nose, and a large mouth. He is distinguished from his brother by his light hair, which is cut neck-length, straight, with a fringe and longer bangs to frame his face. Yukinami can be considered cute in the series universe, as an omake from "Supreme Sugar 01" shows that quite a few girls like him . Ayanami also comments that Yukinami has "the eyes of a puppy".
Clothing.
When first introduced, Yukinami wears a long, ankle-length overcoat with square buttons on the chest, and fur around the neck guard and sleeve cuffs. He also wears woolly gloves and knee-length boots. He also wore a slave collar.
After they join the Black Hawks, Yukinami wears the military uniform normally worn by cadets, consisting of: a black, or dark blue, ankle-length overcoat with golden trimmings on the chest, sleeve cuffs and neck guard. He wears black trousers, knee-length, black, buckled boots and white gloves, similar to the other Black Hawks, as well as a white shirt underneath the overcoat. His uniform has a small half mantle hanging off his left shoulder emblazoned with the Barsburg military insignia and a golden shoulder board on his right.
While pursuing Teito, he wears a knee-length, light-coloured cloak with a hood, and a short, furry scarf.
Personality.
Yukinami's personality is drastically different from his brother's. He is careful and wary, often thinking of the negative effects of doing something, for example, when Suzunami says that he wants to be a Warsfeil (while they didn't know what they had to give in order to become one), Yukinami shakes his shoulders worriedly.
Yukinami was shown to be clumsy when he works in an office, and this trait often gets him into trouble, as seen when he spills ink all over the floor, and also when he trips and spills tea over the documents Ayanami had just finished signing (Begleiter pilot chapter).
He is very shy, rarely talks to others, and the side chapter "Begleiter" shows him to be gentle, as even though the Chief of Staff is strict when dealing with him and 'abuse' him (e.g. ignoring the labor law and 'made' him work overtime with him), he doesn't hate the other party or complain. Yukinami is also reflective and perceptive, as shown in "Begleiter" that he feels there is something Ayanami does not want other people to know.
He is quite courteous and helpful, shown when Teito said he would like to hear people speak the Raggs language to him, and he sings songs for Teito. His courteous and helpful nature was also shown when he tried to help Konatsu despite not being able to speakBarsburg, and took the initiative to clean the floor when he saw that some ink had been splashed on it.
Relationship.
Superiors.
Ayanami.
In the pilot chapter "Begleiter" , Yukinami appears as a cadet in the military that was selected to be Ayanami's Begleiter . At first Yukinami is shy and fearful when around Ayanami due to his reputation of sacking cadet Begleiters . Ayanami ( being evil as usual ) is cold towards him and strict when dealing with him , thinking him a nuisance and said to Hyuuga that Yukinami was useless.
However, at the end of the omake , Ayanami expresses that he actually approves of Yukinami's performance, and they become closer, Hyuuga saying Ayanami 'found another marriage partner'. Another four-panel omake from Supreme Sugar 1 shows that Ayanami is Yukinami's role model, as he has Ayanami's photos in his notebook.
Yukinami is shown to like and admire his superior, even going even as far as risking his own life to protect him when the inmate (Prisoner D-431) takes out a bomb and attempts to kill Ayanami . He idolises Ayanami so much that Suzunami get jealous and gets rid of the photos of Ayanami in Yukinami's notebook, and replaces them with photos of himself.
Hyuuga.
Hyuuga likes and has a fairly good relationship with Yukinami , as in Begleiter he told him a 'secret' of Ayanami ('just between you and us, I want to tell you how Aya-tan was like before he became the chief of staff'), and he also tried to persuade Ayanami to open himself to Yukinami more.
Konatsu Warren.
Yukinami and Konatsu have only interacted a few times so far, but it's hinted that they had a complicated relationship.
Yukinami once tried to help Konatsu despite not being able to speak Barsburg, and took the initiative to clean the floor when he saw that some ink had been splashed on it.
King Antwort.
Yukinami was not sad when Ayanami told him and Suzunami that King Antwort was dead, indicating that he may have disliked or felt indifferent towards his former king .
Family.
Suzunami.
He has a close relationship with his older twin brother, Suzunami. They know each other's moves in battles very well and can understand each other's thoughts by just looking at each other, as if there is telepathy. It seems that the major reason why he joined the Black Hawks is not to be a Warsfeil, but to stay with his brother, and Yukinami is often the one to warn Suzunami when he (Suzunami) does something reckless.
Suzunami has a tendency to become easily jealous when Yukinami is given attention by other people, shown in an omake when he thinks Yukinami's admirers are annoying and tries to get rid of them by burning all the love letters addressed to his younger brother. Suzunami is also very jealous that his younger brother idolises Ayanami, and he finds Yukinami's notebook, gets rid of the photos of Ayanami in there, and replaces them with photos of himself.
Others.
Teito Klein.
Yukinami got along well with Teito in the brief time they spent together. In contrast to his twin, he is reluctant to harm Teito, as shown during the Hawkzile race.
Barm and Moz.
Yukinami, along with Suzunami, is briefly seen with Barm and Moz in manga chapter 93, and the four are seen staring in shock at the destruction of Hohburg Fortress caused by Verloren's revival.
Abilities and Attributes.
Yukinami was shown to be very skilled with a sword as well as very quick and agile. He managed to evade Hyuuga for up to a minute, which puts him on par with Teito in terms of strength, according to Hyuuga.
Zaiphon.
Manipulation Zaiphon: In the Begleiter chapter, Yukinami was shown to use a kind of Zaiphon known as 'Landkarte', which allowed him to move objects through the air, which may be related to Manipulation Zaiphon. It is unknown if this has been kept the same in the official series, as Landkarte is the name of one of the Seven Ghosts, and not a type of Zaiphon.
Manga synopsis.
Antwort War.
Yukinami is first introduced as one of King Antwort's combat slaves. As Hyuuga is searching the King's palace, he is confronted by Yukinami and Suzunami, who warn him that he cannot pass them. The pair than smash the two pillars at each side of them, and while Hyuuga is distracted by trying to dodge them, they catch him by surprise and hold him at swordpoint. Though they present Hyuuga with a challenge, they are unable to best him- and his is able to catch and handcuff them in a minute.
Yukinami and his brother are then brought to the invading army's Chief of Staff, Ayanami where Hyuuga suggests he let them become Barsburg soldiers because of their strength. Ayanami instead opens the twins' handcuffs and sets them free; telling them they can now go anywhere they want to as the King they serve is now dead.
Once released, Yukinami immediately recognises Hyuuga and Ayanami as Black Hawks and Suzunami expresses a desire to join the Black Hawks as he admires their strength. Yukinami desperately tries to stop his brother's outburst- but Suzu carries on, and Hyuuga, unable to understand what he is saying to him, smiles and pats him on the head.
Ayanami, able to speak the language of Raggs, tells them that they can join if they want to. Yukinami, turns to Ayanami and asks him: "are you the King?". Ayanami replies that he isn't. The two sklaves follow the Black Hawks to Barsburg.
Return from Antwort.
Yukinami and his brother wait with the rest of the Black Hawks as Ayanami is in a meeting with Wakaba Oak. When the two (Wakaba and Ayanami) arrive, a tearful Shuri Oak runs into his father's arms and is comforted by him.
Yuki and his brother immediately walk up to Ayanami and stand closely behind him, and this causes Wakaba to mistakenly believe they are his begleiters. Wakaba expresses pity Shuri cannot be Ayanami's begleiter, and places Shuri under the care of Konatsu Warren.
The Black Hawks later return to their office, where Konatsu instructs the twins on what to do with their paperwork. Yuki, eager to help, looks for a pen, but accidentally spills an ink bottle. He frantically searches for a mop and begins to clean the spillage.
Title.
After Teito Klein and Frau had escaped through the Mountain Road, Ayanami sends him and his brother after them. They are later seen in the city of Baltos, watching Teito and Frau rush to safety after Ayanami sent a one-winged Kor after them. It is possible, they were the ones who informed Ayanami of Teito's whereabouts.
Yukinami and his brother are later seen on board a ship being driven by Teito and Frau. It is later shown that they were on board because they were both given military passes by Ayanami, which allowed them access to most rooms in Hohburg Fortress, but were stopped by guards at one of the gates who did not believe that children like them could be in possession of such passes. They befriend Teito and are saddened when they must leave him, but despite this, they express that they will fight him (Teito) if Ayanami asks them to. However, Yukinami appears reluctant to do so, as shown in a manga chapter: when he and Suzunami fought against Teito in the Hawkzile race, he (Yukinami) hesitated before attacking Teito, causing Suzunami to chide him.
Yukinami briefly reappears in manga chapter 93. He and Suzunami are seen in District 24, where they appear to have made the acquaintance of Barm and Moz. They observe the destruction of Hohburg Fortress, visible from afar.
The twins are last seen at an airport in the Empire, hinting that they may have left the Black Hawks and moved on to other things.

fandom.07ghost | # Yuus
Yuus (both singular and plural) is the unit of monetary currency in the 07-Ghost universe. It exists as both paper money and as small metal tokens that act as coins.
It is the currency of the Barsburg Empire. In 07-Ghost: Children, it's revealed that 1 yuus is approximately 2 yen.
Appearance.
Paper yuus has a green border, and is decorated with blue aside from the centre presumably where a portrait of the current monarch should be (missing in the anime). Its corresponding value is written in red.
The coins are thin and rectangular. They are translucent (somewhat, but not completely, see-through), and have their corresponding value carved into the top. Teito describes them as being "small lumps of crystal" and notes that they are "warm".
The coins come in different sizes, and the bigger ones presumably mean a greater value.

fandom.07ghost | # Zaiphon
"See also "
Zaiphon is the magic of the 07-Ghost world; a supernatural force that allows the wielder to convert a life source into energy.
It is utilised by the conversion of an internal, spiritual force: mana (the 'life energy' that souls are believed to be made of), and can be converted into different, tangible forms of energy by gifted humans or via advanced technology if feelings are imposed on it. Once made tangible, it can then be used to attack others, to heal injuries, to control other objects or to do other things.
Biologically, it is a hereditary attribute, though recessive, making it very rare.
Sources.
Like the common belief on mana, Zaiphon is found in both humans and land masses. It is the origin of life, and is found in all living creatures. Mana is said to be the very force that keeps the continents afloat.
Zaiphon reserves in inanimate things (e.g. land) will eventually be exhausted or used up after continuous extraction (manga chapter 84). It is unknown if Zaiphon reserves in humans are limited or unlimited.
It is implied that a Kor can grant Zaiphon abilities to someone who did not originally have Zaiphon, as shown by the Boy Kor and the One-winged Kor Soldier.
Using a Zaiphon.
It is currently unknown at what age a Zaiphon becomes evident in a person. For certain individuals, the ability to utilise a Zaiphon emerges sometime in early childhood. However, as specialised academies for teaching children to control their Zaiphon accept those from ages 14+, it is likely that many first develop their abilities during puberty.
The Zaiphon of a youth is weak and unsullied. A Zaiphon can become erratic and dangerous if the wielder is lacking in proper control, so special schools have been built to help people control it from an early age.
While capable of causing physical damage, on its own it cannot be used to attack unholy creatures like Kor and Wars. Instead, using this technique would only result in damage to the Kor's or Wars' vessel.
Summoning a Zaiphon.
Summoning an effective Zaiphon requires two factors: intent and movement. If the wielder is unable to properly focus, or does not move his/her hands in the correct way then the Zaiphon will not be as powerful.
The internal energy that is often converted into Zaiphon is emotion. Different emotions have different effects on the user's Zaiphon. It is yet unknown if any other form of energy can be used in its place in humans, though there is a nameless energy derived from machinery being used to extract Zaiphon from the earth. Emotion is strongly tied to Zaiphon use, and if the person is unwilling, blind with rage or traumatised then their ability is greatly weakened, and is clumsy and more difficult to direct. On the other hand, while a sudden burst of emotion can temporarily cripple the user's Zaiphon, it can also cause it to become explosive and dangerous. Certain weapons require a specific emotion in order to use them effectively.
Movement plays a large part in directing an offensive and manipulation Zaiphon. Virtually all cases of summoning an attacking/defensive zaiphon are done using both hands (as shown in the case of Teito Klein and Mikage in the anime). Despite the disadvantage, it is advised that a Zaiphon be summoned in this way as it allows the greatest amount of control. However, particularly talented and trained individuals, such as Ayanami, waste less energy in movement, as Ayanami is able to open a defensive shield or fire a Zaiphon standing perfectly still and using only one hand. So far, a manipulation Zaiphon is the only type able to be manipulated by a body part other than hands.
Zaiphon forms.
When a human converts his/her strong emotions into Zaiphon, their Zaiphon often takes the shape of words. This in turn allows the caster to communicate with others, even in places where it is impossible to speak (e.g. underwater), by using his Zaiphon to write what he/she wants to say.
The words a Zaiphon manifests itself as can take many forms, often reflecting personal information about the user, like their nature, soul, mood, (the more intense the feeling, the greater the power), thoughts, and the language they speak.
Zaiphon types.
Given that a Zaiphon is influenced by many different factors, the abilities of individuals can vary greatly. However, each ability can generally be placed under one of three different categories.
It is possible, though very rare, for someone to possess two types of Zaiphon. Whether it is possible for an individual to possess all three types is unknown.
Offensive/Attacking Zaiphon.
"See also "
An offensive/attacking Zaiphon is the most common type of Zaiphon.
It is characterised by its aggressive and volatile nature and is primarily wielded by releasing short, potent bursts of energy. Its most distinctive features are that it: enables long-range attacks, can be summoned at some distance away from the wielder, and explodes upon impact.
Its purpose is to cause damage, though can be used to cut an opponents attack in two (as a way of shielding oneself), and bind an opponent.
An offensive Zaiphon usually requires exaggerated arm movement to utilise due to its wide range of attacks. Sweeping motions made with the arms summon the Zaiphon to create a shield, striking out with a closed fist fires a Zaiphon, and grasping at the air allows the wielder to bind an opponent.
Due to its explosive energy, an offensive Zaiphon needs to be properly managed, as an uncontrolled offensive Zaiphon is very capable of causing disastrous collateral damage, or harming or killing the wielder.
Healing Zaiphon.
"See also: "
A healing Zaiphon is slightly less common than the attacking Zaiphon.
A healing Zaiphon is close-range, and is only effective when the user has direct contact with the receiver. Healing is a long process and requires a slow, steady flow of Zaiphon- making endurance a vital factor in using this type of Zaiphon. A healing Zaiphon is more dependant on effort than talent like the other two types, so the user is able to learn a range of different techniques.
Those with a healing Zaiphon are able to share or transfer their own Zaiphon to others, even if the two Zaiphon types are different, and Ouida says those with the healing form have an obligation to share power with others who need it.
Characters who possess this type of Zaiphon have to ability to improve the physical condition of living things via healing wounds, their own or someone else's. A standard healing Zaiphon has been shown to close wounds and repair tissue damage. Healing Zaiphon also has some other uses e.g. Ohruri's healing Zaiphon reacts to all poisons, enabling her to wrap up and extract poisons.
The ability to transfer mana from person to person seems to be the driving force behind the healing process. It is highly likely that a person heals by being given mana (life energy), and regeneration requires a large amount of mana that will kill the person giving it.
A healing Zaiphon cannot be used to attack a Kor, but it can be used to restrict the movement of the Kor, thus making it easier to remove, and at lowered risk of injuring the host in the process.
Manipulation Zaiphon.
"See also "
A manipulation Zaiphon is the least common type of Zaiphon, and is regarded as something very special. It is also the most varied.
A manipulation Zaiphon can be anything from close-range, like Kikune's, to long-range, like Castor's.
Despite the wide range of individual abilities, the defining factor of a manipulation Zaiphon is the ability to change the nature of an object, inanimate or otherwise. Unlike with offensive and healing, within the manipulation Zaiphon class, an individual's Zaiphon can be sorted into several smaller classes: changing the position of an object (e.g. Yukinami who can levitate and teleport animate and inanimate objects), changing the appearance of an object (e.g. the shape-shifting prisoner from the Begleiter chapter), changing the nature of an object (e.g. Kikune's Zaiphon can change poison into harmless smoke).
It works by controlling the Zaiphon of the object the user is trying to manipulate- aligning the Zaiphon of the object with that of the wielder and allowing it to be changed.
Like an offensive Zaiphon, it too requires movement to control, though the amount of movement depends on the individual's ability.
Manipulation of a Zaiphon using weapons.
Zaiphon can also be manipulated through advanced technology. The Barsburg Empire has been shown to extract Zaiphon from land and use it as fuel for transport and lighting. (manga chapter 64, page 24 to 25)
While many Zaiphon users have been shown using their hands to manipulate their Zaiphon, there are a few objects that can be used to manipulate, channel and enhance the power of the Zaiphon.
Baculus: A baculus appears as a large, metal crucifix, decorated with crescents. Many of the bishops in the Church use a baculus to channel their Zaiphon, and it is a requirement to be able to use a baculus properly to pass the Bishop's Apprentice exam.
Sword: Castor has mentioned that there are weapons used to manipulate a Zaiphon, these being used for fighting rather than removing Kor from people. The Black Hawks in particular have been shown using swords to channel their Zaiphon at an opponent.
History.
It is a common belief that those who are able to wield a Zaiphon are "blessed by God" so it is possible that people first displayed these abilities as soon as the Chief of Heaven created human beings.

fandom.07ghost | # Zehel
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Zehel is one of the Seven Ghosts in the 07 Ghost series. He is the cutting spirit and can cut the bonds that tie a person's heart to misfortune. The most recent incarnation of Zehel, Frau, was the only Ghost capable of wielding Verloren's Scythe and succeeded Verloren as the God of Death.
There is a statue of Zehel in one of the seven Ghost towers in the Barsburg Church. It remains unknown what people pray to the statue for, though considering Zehel's power, it could be for someone to become a better person.
Etymology.
The name 'Zehel' is sometimes translated as 'Sichel', which is a German word and translates to 'scythe', being a reference to the choice of weapon.
Form.
Zehel's true appearance is in the form of a hooded skeleton, (like the grim reaper) wielding a large scythe. His appearance is the same as Verloren's, since the Ghosts are made up of Verloren's fragments.
Human.
Due to the fact that only blood descendants of the God House of Zehel can be reincarnated as Zehel, those acting as Zehel tend to resemble each other. Those from Zehel's bloodline tend to be very tall and muscular, with straight hair (of inconsistent colour), long faces and narrow, dark eyes (blue or purple). Going by Frau's and Guido's appearances, reincarnations of Zehel can be considered the most 'masculine' or masculine-looking, as it seems that all the other Ghosts' reincarnations, especially Profe, tend to look more 'beautiful' or 'pretty' rather than handsome, following the 'bishounen' ideal.
Symbol.
Zehel's Ghost symbol is dark red, and resembles some sort of upside-down scythe, the blade to the left of the symbol, with a large grip, and a curved stem almost the length of the scythe's snath.
Personality.
Zehel tends to be easygoing and a bit reckless, taking risks while underestimating the consequences and having little patience for work that does not involve a lot of combat.
With enemies, Zehel is a dangerous foe to cross paths with. He tends to mock or insult his opponents, and is able and willing to react with violence if the situation calls for it.
With companions, he tries to be gruff and aloof, but he is a compassionate Ghost who cares deeply about and is very protective of his loved ones. He can be short-tempered, blunt and to the point, almost to the point of rudeness, but he don't intentionally tries to hurt people's feelings with what he say. He also have a gentle side, which makes him get along well with children, and is chivalrous, often helping women out of genuine concern or sympathy. He tends to be very possessive of those closest to him.
He also develops deep, mutual emotional bonds with his apprentices, and he is fiercely protective of them; the relationships with his apprentices can develop to the point where he thinks of them as a member of his family. His apprentices, in return, admire him as someone to emulate. In fact, Frau began smoking in an attempt to imitate Guido, who also smoked, and developed Guido's habit of calling people younger than him a "brat." Teito, who is Frau's apprentice, began to develop some of Frau's mannerisms after spending a month travelling with him.
Zehel have a strong sense of loyalty, and will not hesitate to sacrifice his live for those who earn his trust, affection and respect. He have a tendency to smoke.
Abilities and attributes.
The Seven Ghosts all possess the ability to erase or otherwise alter a person's memories. Like the other Ghosts, Zehel can make his true form temporarily leave his human, host body.
Also, it is possible that the Ghosts can recover faster from injuries than ordinary humans, as Frau/Zehel recovered almost instantly when Teito, possessed by Mikhail, stabbed him.
Since the host body is dead; their hearts do not beat and their bodies do not give off heat, it is probable that all of them have a much greater tolerance of extremely low temperatures than ordinary humans, shown when Teito felt very cold when travelling in the mountains with Frau while Frau felt fine. However, their bodies can still freeze, so it is still dangerous for them, to a certain extent, to be in extremely cold climates.
Specific abilities.
Zehel is the cutting spirit, meaning he has the power to sever the bonds that tie a person's heart to misfortune.
History.
The creation of the Ghosts.
The Seven Ghosts are amongst the earliest 'gods' created by the Chief of heaven and their existence dates back roughly 1000 years. At the time of their creation, humanity was already present.
The legend of the ghosts tells that Verloren (the God of Death) was in love with the Chief of Heaven's daughter, Eve, but after her skeleton was found and her soul devoured, the Chief of Heaven accused Verloren of killing her. As Eve's soul being devoured automatically forced it to be sent to earth and reincarnated, Verloren escaped the heavens and fled to earth to find her reincarnation.
Verloren began looking into the hearts of humans in order to find the soul that originally belonged to Eve. However as he looked, that person's heart was instantly tainted by his presence, and slowly slipped into despair. This meant those souls could not enter Heaven in this life because they were no longer pure, and they would be forced to reincarnate again once they died.
When the Chief of Heaven noticed the consequences Verloren's actions had on those souls he looked into, he fashioned seven heavenly lights out of Verloren's fragments, each with one of Verloren's powers, and sent them to execute him.
Schedel's Crusade.
The Ghosts' mission was to take Verloren's body to The Land of Seele- where it would be judged and destroyed, and after they had fulfilled this mission their souls would be able to return to heaven. The ghosts drove Verloren to Seele, but even with their combined strength, they weren't strong enough to destroy him. Faced with this, they instead used the powers of the two angel eyes (Mikhail and Raphael) to tear Verloren's soul from his body, in the hope that they never join again so he could never be at his full power.
They sealed his physical body in Pandora's Box on earth, and used the Eye of Mikhail to make sure it could not escape from its prison. They sealed his soul using the Eye of Raphael, putting his soul in a human- and forcing it to undergo a process of constant reincarnation whenever the human body died- regardless of how the person had lived their life- so it could never enter Heaven again.
The threat of Verloren had been eliminated, but since the Ghosts were unable to judge Verloren, they could not return to heaven; instead staying in the mortal world to serve as guardians.
Zehel went on to become the progenitor of the Verius bloodline.
After sealing Verloren.
Now on earth, each Ghost assumed human form and went on to live human lives; they married humans, had human children and died as humans. The Seven Ghosts and their human families went on to form the Seven Houses of God, and the Ghosts' powers were passed on to their children, and further generations.
The current ghosts are the descendants of the original seven.
During the Raggs War and return of Verloren.
Around 990 years after Verloren had been sealed, the Eye of Raphael malfunctioned- resulting in Verloren's soul awakening (the human who was currently holding Verloren's soul regained all of Verloren's memories) and continued with Verloren's crusade against the Chief of Heaven.
The descendants of the ghosts that first fought Verloren were again forced to re-group and fight.
Currently, very little is known about the Ghosts' roles in the Raggs War.
A member of the Raggs family (the God house of Vertrag) and person acting as the Ghost Vertrag, Fea Kreuz, was accused of stealing and escaping with Pandora's Box, and it was this theft that sparked the Raggs War. Pandora's Box had been moved into a human- meaning Verloren's body was at a risk of escaping- so four Ghosts (Zehel among them) protected and guided Vertrag through the Seven God Houses in order to receive the cursed tickets and travel to the Land of Seele to destroy Verloren's body.
This, coupled with the fact Verloren's soul had awakened, caused Ea and Landkarte to separate from the others and go undercover into the military.
However, the Ghosts were not successful in their mission, and it resulted in the death of one Ghost, Vertrag, whose reincarnation was killed by Ayanami and devoured by Verloren.
The remaining six, however, escaped with their lives.
