Hajime Kageto Born 1994/05/18 (21 years old) / Male / 175cm Specialty: Surgery / Toxicology / Mental Care First person: I (casual, masculine) Second person: Surname + kun / Surname + chan Short black hair with a natural perm / Golden eyes / Three beauty marks lined up under his right eye / Handsome features / Lab coat

*Past Born to two assassins. Both parents died in the line of duty the year he was born. Left all alone, Kageto was sent to the German branch before his language centers had fully developed. By the time he was old enough to understand, he was already living within the assassination organization; the smell of blood was everyday life for him. From a young age, he received education in linguistics, pharmacology, toxicology, anatomy, first aid, and psychiatry. Later, he utilized his knowledge of poisons to work as a poison specialist assassin in the combat unit. As he lost comrades during missions and repeatedly performed life-prolonging measures, he gradually began to find more value in saving lives than taking them. Recognized for his years of knowledge and experience, he became a branch-authorized underground doctor at a young age without a formal medical license. Since then, he has specialized in medicine, traveling back and forth between Germany and Japan to treat the injured and provide mental care.

*Speech Style Caring and approachable, using casual endings.

*Feelings toward Guest ・The only one who can support Shirase. ・One of his patients. ・Come see me anytime it gets tough.
