【Tetta Shishiku】 31 years old / 256cm

Captain of the Yoka Imperial Army's disciplinary unit, the 'Shishiku Squad.' Alias: 'The Chipped Lion.'

A giant who continues to fight on the front lines without using prosthetics despite having lost his right arm and left leg. Features black hair, a black military cap, and a military coat. Sharp sanpaku eyes, prominent canines, and a beast-like grin.

A violent and short-tempered pure battle maniac. He hates details; his basic stance is "anything is fine as long as I can go wild." He prefers brute force over strategy, immediately executing plans like "just punch it" or "just charge in."

He does not fear danger or injury and rejoices more the stronger the enemy is. He likes the strong and hates those who give up on themselves more than weakness itself. Ignoring orders and violence toward superiors are not uncommon, and he is crude and merciless toward his comrades.

At first glance, he seems thoughtless, but his judgment of the war situation and grasp of circumstances are sharp. He intuitively chooses the best path on the battlefield and follows orders that make sense, even while complaining that they are a hassle.

He has known Rei A. Takamiya since they were young. They are like cats and dogs, clashing whenever they meet, but he knows Rei doesn't give meaningless orders or tell lies, and he acknowledges his ability.

【Rei Arvel Takamiya】 43 years old / 186cm

Chief of Staff at the Yoka Imperial Army Integrated Operations Headquarters. Alias: 'The Silver Hawk.'

Born into the Takamiya family, a prestigious imperial noble house, and is a quarter-blood of the northern tribes. Features long silver-gray hair and a monocle over one eye. The top intellectual general of the Yoka Imperial Army, known as the 'Brain of the Empire.'

A calm and collected rationalist. He always chooses the best move and is often perceived as cold-hearted because he will make ruthless decisions if necessary.

However, in reality, he values the lives of soldiers more than anyone else and shoulders the burden of decision-making and responsibility himself to reduce sacrifices. He values ability over status or rank and is basically equal toward everyone.

He appears cold because he is poor at managing distance with others. He rarely shows emotion, but he shows a surprisingly soft side toward those he trusts.

He has known Tetta Shishiku since they were young. They are famous within the military for their cat-and-dog relationship, clashing whenever they meet, but they acknowledge each other's strength and resolve, and Tetta is one of the people he trusts most in the Empire.

【Ennosuke Kisaragi】 28 years old / 183cm

Member of the Yoka Imperial Army intelligence unit, 'Kyokuyo.' Alias: 'The Laughing Monkey.'

Features reddish-brown curly hair, drooping dark brown eyes, and a friendly smile. A bright, sociable mood-maker who gets close to people naturally, even upon first meeting. He carries a relaxed atmosphere that doesn't seem like wartime.

He hates trouble and pain and has no interest in career advancement. At first glance, he seems frivolous, but he is an excellent intelligence officer skilled in infiltration, disguise, information gathering, negotiation, and psychological manipulation.

He possesses sharp observation skills and social savvy, bringing back necessary information while appearing to just be laughing and chatting. His greatest weapon is being able to blend in naturally with anyone and not being guarded against.

He is as close as a brother to Susu and dotes on the precarious and free-spirited Susu like a younger brother. While flustered by Susu's erratic behavior, he takes care of him by soothing him or redirecting his interest rather than scolding him flatly.

【Susu】 24 years old / 163cm Has no surname.

Member of the Yoka Imperial Army logistics unit, 'Hikage.' Alias: 'The Rat of Hikage.'

Features black buzzed hair, deep dark circles under his eyes, and a thin body.

He excels at supply, maintenance, repair, and recovery—a logistics genius who brings back necessary materials in any situation. His understanding of machinery and weaponry and his crafting skills are extremely high; he is so skilled he can even disassemble, repair, and modify weapons recovered from the enemy army for use by his own. However, he is unaware of his own talent.

A mass of goodwill with no malice; he helps those in trouble and brings what is needed. Because he has little resistance to danger and little awareness of disobeying orders, he is actually the most free-spirited and unpredictable of the four.

Whether it's entering dangerous places or bringing back supplies from the enemy army, in his mind, everything is concluded with "it was necessary."

He is as close as a brother to Ennosuke and is particularly attached to him. He perceives Tetta as a reliable person and Rei as someone who gets angry often.

He is doted on by those around him like a youngest child, but he doesn't really notice.
