**[[Tsukiko Otonashi|<span style="color:white;">Tsukiko Otonashi</span>]]: One of Sudou's liaisons to the other branches of the NWO, SEBEC's fall has shifted her into a position as a corporate ally of the government arm. She's extremely learned in matters both mystical and technological and, though they do argue at times, they generally get on well. | **[[Tsukiko Otonashi|<span style="color:white;">Tsukiko Otonashi</span>]]: One of Sudou's liaisons to the other branches of the NWO, SEBEC's fall has shifted her into a position as a corporate ally of the government arm.

**[[Mitsuru Kirijo|<span style="color:white;">Mitsuru Kirijo</span>]]: Seiichi's love interest. Sudou's conflicted over Mitsuru due to this fact, though he no longer considers killing her as a way of winning back Seiichi's unfailing loyalty. He's well aware it wouldn't work. | **[[Mitsuru Kirijo|<span style="color:white;">Mitsuru Kirijo</span>]]: Seiichi's love interest. Sudou's conflicted over Mitsuru due to this fact, though he no longer considers killing her as a way of winning back Seiichi's unfailing loyalty. He's well aware it wouldn't work. | ||
+ | ***''Maboroshi:'' Amadeus challenged Mitsuru on the battlefield, and won the ensuing (extremely enjoyable) duel by the barest margin. | ||
**[[Susumu Kamiya|<span style="color:white;">Susumu Kamiya</span>]]: Nika's bestie and Sudou's newest errand boy, as it were. Sudou doesn't hold Susumu's tendency to avoid combat against him, at least; Susumu has other talents. | **[[Susumu Kamiya|<span style="color:white;">Susumu Kamiya</span>]]: Nika's bestie and Sudou's newest errand boy, as it were. Sudou doesn't hold Susumu's tendency to avoid combat against him, at least; Susumu has other talents. | ||
*'''IV. The Emperor''' | *'''IV. The Emperor''' | ||
− | **[[ | + | **[[Masahiko Irie|<span style="color:white;">Masahiko Irie</span>]]: Masahiko causes the former executive a great deal of consternation, especially with this "Kagutsuchi" organisation of his. Sudou finds him pretentious, sanctimonious, self-righteous, and a lot of other very hypocritical things. Sudou recently dealt the Yakuza Prince a blow by calling the latter out and ordering the Dragons to open fire when the boy strolled up into Club Zodiac and refused to leave when so instructed. The Red Dragon was certain this is only the first of many -- and he was right, given how the subsequent rematch went. |
+ | ***''Maboroshi:'' Amadeus despised the Hatamoto at first sight, though could not explain why. | ||
**[[Nika Rumyantseva|<span style="color:white;">Nika Rumyantseva</span>]]: SO ADORBS. Sudou finds Nika's rage beautiful as well, though it's a different kind of beauty. It's safe to say he's very fond of the gaijin girl. | **[[Nika Rumyantseva|<span style="color:white;">Nika Rumyantseva</span>]]: SO ADORBS.

**[[Tatsuzou Sudou|<span style="color:white;">Tatsuzou Sudou</span>]]: Dad. The one person Tatsuya hates above all others, especially now that he doesn't hate [[Tatsuya Suou|<span style="color:white;">certain</span>]] [[Maya Amano|<span style="color:white;">other</span>]] people anymore. He's less afraid of Tatsuzou than he used to be, though; now, he just has a serious craving for revenge. | **[[Tatsuzou Sudou|<span style="color:white;">Tatsuzou Sudou</span>]]: Dad.

He's less afraid of Tatsuzou than he used to be, though; now, he just has a serious craving for revenge. | ||
**[[Shinjiro Aragaki|<span style="color:white;">Shinjiro Aragaki</span>]]: They have more in common than either would like to admit, the two Leos. It's been learning this that's eased Sudou's feelings on the boy, though there's still a good deal of mistrust there. The fact that Shinjiro's Shadow attacked Sudou in the latter's own home shortly after his death doesn't help. | **[[Shinjiro Aragaki|<span style="color:white;">Shinjiro Aragaki</span>]]: They have more in common than either would like to admit, the two Leos. It's been learning this that's eased Sudou's feelings on the boy, though there's still a good deal of mistrust there. The fact that Shinjiro's Shadow attacked Sudou in the latter's own home shortly after his death doesn't help. | ||
+ | ***''Maboroshi:'' Masako Aragaki, her husband's narrow defeat in mind, challenged Amadeus herself in the hopes of bringing him to justice for the deaths of a pair of Revolutionary samurai. Cevri Sultana's subsequent interference very nearly resulted in the Graf's death. | ||
**[[Yui Utsuki|<span style="color:white;">Yui Utsuki</span>]]: Former Stregite, now a Dragon. Helped out when Sudou and his band of merry (wo)men raided Sumiyoshi HQ, and has since proved she deserves her position. He does think she's awfully...young. | **[[Yui Utsuki|<span style="color:white;">Yui Utsuki</span>]]: Former Stregite, now a Dragon.

**[[Ginji Sasaki|<span style="color:white;">Ginji Sasaki</span>]]: A former founding executive of the Masquerade, and the only one who didn't defect with Sudou after the latter's death. Despite this, Sudou finds he can't really hate the guy for some reason. Maybe it's Ginji's charm, maybe it's their previous long-standing working relationship, maybe it's just the plain fact that Sudou's less likely to take offense at every little damn thing nowadays. | **[[Ginji Sasaki|<span style="color:white;">Ginji Sasaki</span>]]: A former founding executive of the Masquerade, and the only one who didn't defect with Sudou after the latter's death.

After Maboroshi's end, he finally gave into her advances. |
**[[Lisa Silverman|<span style="color:white;">Lisa Silverman</span>]]: One of Jun's friends. She finds Sudou creepy and disturbing, a fact no one can really argue with. | **[[Lisa Silverman|<span style="color:white;">Lisa Silverman</span>]]: One of Jun's friends.

**[[Yoh Yamagatani|<span style="color:white;">Yoh Yamagatani</span>]]: Yoh likes punching things. Sudou is an excellent challenge. That's pretty much it. The kid seems to think they're friends, but Sudou would be hard-pressed to recall the kid's name if asked for it. | **[[Yoh Yamagatani|<span style="color:white;">Yoh Yamagatani</span>]]: Yoh likes punching things.

+ | ***''Maboroshi:'' The Graf's battle with Bureza ended in a draw due to outside interference, and none too soon for Tenchi Bridge. | ||
**[[Chie Satonaka|<span style="color:white;">Chie Satonaka</span>]]: An employee of the KDA, Sudou inadvertently hired Chie with a blank check and an instruction. He used her account to post to the Darkside board one time; it earned him a whacking with a newspaper. They get on well enough, for all that. | **[[Chie Satonaka|<span style="color:white;">Chie Satonaka</span>]]: An employee of the KDA, Sudou inadvertently hired Chie with a blank check and an instruction. He used her account to post to the Darkside board one time; it earned him a whacking with a newspaper. They get on well enough, for all that. | ||
+ | ***''Maboroshi:'' They fought together to bring down the zeitgeist of Maboroshi. | ||

− | **[[Katsuya Suou|<span style="color:white;">Katsuya Suou</span>]]: Sudou nearly killed Katsuya's brother, the aftermath of which disgraced the Suous' father and put Katsuya on the path to becoming a police officer -- unfortunately, not the career he wanted. It's pretty safe to say Katsuya hates Sudou, though | + | **[[Katsuya Suou|<span style="color:white;">Katsuya Suou</span>]]: Sudou nearly killed Katsuya's brother, the aftermath of which disgraced the Suous' father and put Katsuya on the path to becoming a police officer -- unfortunately, not the career he wanted. It's pretty safe to say Katsuya hates Sudou, though it's ''harder'' to say whether that hatred is returned. Katsuya both amuses and annoys Sudou, and the several fights they've had have done nothing to erode either. If anything, it's made their occasional cooperation that much funnier... |
+ | ***''Maboroshi:'' The Graf and the baker met at the Yume Festival, where literally everything was adorable. | ||
+ | **[[Mitsuki Kohama|<span style="color:white;">Mitsuki Kohama</span>]]: Sudou enjoys pushing her buttons, and isn't afraid of making implications around her -- after all, she can't do anything about the fact that her sister works for him, can she? | ||
*'''IX. The Hermit''' | *'''IX. The Hermit''' | ||
**[[Shizuka Taniguchi|<span style="color:white;">Shizuka Taniguchi</span>]]: One of the former executives. She seems to have a close relationship with [[Haruna Satou|<span style="color:white;">Haruna Satou</span>]], though not one Sudou's had much opportunity to observe in the wild. | **[[Shizuka Taniguchi|<span style="color:white;">Shizuka Taniguchi</span>]]: One of the former executives.

− | **[[Izo Imaizumi|<span style="color:white;">Izo Imaizumi</span>]]: | + | **[[Izo Imaizumi|<span style="color:white;">Izo Imaizumi</span>]]: Izo came to Sudou's high-rise in the hopes of succeeding where he'd failed with [[Masahiko Irie|<span style="color:white;">Masahiko Irie</span>]]; that is, in convincing the yakuza leader to separate supernatural matters from those of the family. Unfortunately for Izo, he was unsuccessful here as well -- or so he left thinking, anyway. |
− | **[[Rei Saionji|<span style="color:white;">Rei Saionji</span>]]: Tatsuzou's personal assistant, and therefore instantly and irrevocably on the younger Sudou's shit list. They've exchanged snubs and jabs, | + | **[[Rei Saionji|<span style="color:white;">Rei Saionji</span>]]: Tatsuzou's personal assistant, and therefore instantly and irrevocably on the younger Sudou's shit list. They've exchanged snubs and jabs, and more recently had a very public fight. Initially it was Sudou's attempt to revenge himself for Rei's actions during Maboroshi, but became something more once he discovered the cracks he'd made in Rei's icy demeanor. |
+ | ***''Maboroshi:'' Assigned to make sure the Graf didn't get into any trouble, Nagato Iwatari performed his service to the best of his ability, if grudgingly, until the night he purposely failed to prevent von Leonbrandt's assassination. | ||
**[[Eien Seida|<span style="color:white;">Eien Seida</span>]]: After gaining some very disturbing insights into the former executive's psyche via accidental contact, the young psychometrist ambushed Sudou to learn the truth of his death. Their subsequent proved much more open and frank than perhaps either of them had anticipated. | **[[Eien Seida|<span style="color:white;">Eien Seida</span>]]: After gaining some very disturbing insights into the former executive's psyche via accidental contact, the young psychometrist ambushed Sudou to learn the truth of his death.

− | **[[Thora Kobayashi|<span style="color:white;">Thora Kobayashi</span>]]: Once affiliated with the Tower Arcana, Thora has now undergone a shift Sudou hasn't fully investigated, but which he suspects is related to her falling out with [[Shirou Sekigawa|<span style="color:white;">Shirou Sekigawa</span>]]. The King and the Oni have history, to be certain. | + | ***''Maboroshi:'' She brought him back from the brink after the demon dragon attacked, and for that von Leonbrandt agreed to help restore Enoha's father to her. He succeeded only in obtaining assurances that her family would be compensated for the crops they could not harvest, but that was service enough for the kindhearted farmer. |
+ | **[[Thora Kobayashi|<span style="color:white;">Thora Kobayashi</span>]]: Once affiliated with the Tower Arcana, Thora has now undergone a shift Sudou hasn't fully investigated, but which he suspects is related to her falling out with [[Shirou Sekigawa|<span style="color:white;">Shirou Sekigawa</span>]]. The King and the Oni have history, to be certain. In particular, Sudou -- aware of certain details of her past -- believes Thora's even more chained than before. He does like fighting her, as well. | ||

Recently, the former executive gave her a new katana to replace the one she'd been wielding -- knowing very well there might come a day when she was forced to turn it against him. | + | **[[Tohya Kidzuki|<span style="color:white;">Tohya Kidzuki</span>]]: She wasn't Hanged when they met, but Sudou counts the ex-KNOWS member as one of the few Darkside affiliates he can tolerate. Recently, the former executive gave her a new katana to replace the one she'd been wielding -- knowing very well there might come a day when she was forced to turn it against him. He was quite pleased when she did. |
+ | ***''Maboroshi:'' Though they had their arguments, the Graf respected Tohru Kidzuki as a warrior -- especially when it was the samurai who contributed most (including the killing blow) in their battle against the lycanthrope True in Golden 44. | ||
**[[Baofu|<span style="color:white;">Baofu</span>]]: Sudou has an odd sort of alliance with the tap buster, owing to their mutual hatred for the former's father. They may very well defeat the old dragon one day...or, at the very least, they'll die trying. | **[[Baofu|<span style="color:white;">Baofu</span>]]: Sudou has an odd sort of alliance with the tap buster, owing to their mutual hatred for the former's father.

**[[Seiichi Miyamoto|<span style="color:white;">Seiichi Miyamoto</span>]]: Sudou's best friend, inexplicably. The two men have a complicated relationship that has come a long way from the business arrangement it initially was. Sudou genuinely cares for Seiichi -- in fact, he cares for him past the point of foolishness, or even simple good sense. It was Seiichi who pushed Sudou out of a critical moment of existential crisis as well, prompting another stage of development after the latter's death. And of course now they both wear eyepatches, because apparently the cosmos decided they needed to be similar ''somehow'', or something. They have a good business relationship too, especially these days. | **[[Seiichi Miyamoto|<span style="color:white;">Seiichi Miyamoto</span>]]: Sudou's best friend, inexplicably.

+ | ***''Maboroshi:'' Graf von Leonbrandt felt compelled not to dismiss the shifty magistrate Bayushi out of hand for reasons he couldn't explain. They encountered each other once again in the Deep Reach, and a final time at the Yume Festival. | ||
**[[Haruna Satou|<span style="color:white;">Haruna Satou</span>]]: A fellow dreamseer and Mayan scholar, Sudou had the unenviable task of breaking the news to Haruna that the paradise for which they'd strived was a lie. He felt worse about this than he did when informing the other executives, due to the nature of their connection. After discovering how she'd dealt with the news, he offered her a new path -- a chance to punish the deceivers. She took it. | **[[Haruna Satou|<span style="color:white;">Haruna Satou</span>]]: A fellow dreamseer and Mayan scholar, Sudou had the unenviable task of breaking the news to Haruna that the paradise for which they'd strived was a lie.

+ | ***''Maboroshi:'' Despite being devoutly Catholic, Amadeus valued the gypsy seer Zora's advice and companionship -- and the amusement her squabbles with Agna provided. | ||
**[[Eikichi Mishina|<span style="color:white;">Eikichi Mishina</span>]]: Another of Jun's friends. Eikichi landed the final blow on Sudou on the airship, finally putting an end to both the latter's mad rampage and his life. Also kind of a dweeb, even if his Shadow very much wasn't. | **[[Eikichi Mishina|<span style="color:white;">Eikichi Mishina</span>]]: Another of Jun's friends.

+ | **[[Miwa Saitou|<span style="color:white;">Miwa Saitou</span>]]: One of the Shinsengumi, and impressively learned in the occult and other esoteric matters. He's fond of Miwa in his way, which causes her no end of discomfiture -- especially now that he's firmly ensconced himself and his expert opinion in her preparations to summon an eldritch horrorterror. (This will go well.) | ||
+ | ***''Maboroshi:'' Their several arguments, most conducted after Amadeus' death, resulted in an enmity that cost the miko an ally in her final battle against Sae Katsuragi. | ||

**[[Naomi Suzuno|<span style="color:white;">Naomi Suzuno</span>]]: The two wealthy half-breeds have a complex relationship, one that exists even in spite of [[Tatsuya Suou|<span style="color:white;">Tatsuya Suou</span>]]'s hatred for Sudou. He seems to have some platonic affection for the Spencer heiress that extends beyond the bounds of what might be thought sensible for people in their position, but the root of it is really very simple: Apart from his respect for her as a person, Sudou sees in Naomi what he might have been had the circumstances of his birth been like hers. It's one of the reasons he goes out of his way to be polite and mannerly when dealing with Miles Spencer, who seems to like Sudou for some inexplicable reason. | **[[Naomi Suzuno|<span style="color:white;">Naomi Suzuno</span>]]: The two wealthy half-breeds have a complex relationship, one that exists even in spite of [[Tatsuya Suou|<span style="color:white;">Tatsuya Suou</span>]]'s hatred for Sudou.

− | ** | + | **[[Shion Katsuragi|<span style="color:white;">Shion Katsuragi</span>]]: She and Sudou were acquainted -- friends, even -- in high school thanks to track meets, and he developed feelings for her during that time. Twelve years later, their month-long shared dream provided the impetus for a real-life reconnection, one that resulted in a professional relationship before quickly snowballing into a personal relationship as well. Now that these two fierce lionhearts are lovers, what will be the fallout...? |
+ | ***''Maboroshi:'' Amadeus fell in love with Soranna, the fiery Englishwoman whose Artemis-like love of hunting and refusal to wed was famed across Europe. When she disappeared, he resolved to search for her -- even after his death and entry into the Deep Reach. There, he found Sae Katsuragi, the fae Guide of the Reach, whom she became after being sent there by misadventure. He continued to love her irrespective of her claim that she knew no "Soranna," and returned with her to the sunlit world after the defeat of the Spirit of Maboroshi. | ||

Shortly thereafter she detonated in a spectacular and very public meltdown; since then, Sudou's heard nothing about her, good or bad. |

They've historically been partners, and there may have been more beneath the surface at some point. Whatever the truth, Anna is very important to him. |
**[[Takahisa Kandori|<span style="color:white;">Takahisa Kandori</span>]]: Kandori broke Sudou's trust by nearly killing Anna and, while Sudou repaid the favour, the incident irrevocably destroyed their once-close relationship. It's for the best, really; a few months after their fight, Kandori was killed by some teenagers seeking to prevent the end of the world. Good riddance. | **[[Takahisa Kandori|<span style="color:white;">Takahisa Kandori</span>]]: Kandori broke Sudou's trust by nearly killing Anna and, while Sudou repaid the favour, the incident irrevocably destroyed their once-close relationship.

− | **[[ | + | **[[Shiko Mori|<span style="color:white;">Shiko Mori</span>]]: A former SEBEC experiment, Shiko became a Leo Mask after Kandori's fall and, later, was elevated to Dragon status as a reward for her loyalty to Sudou during the dethroned King's rebellion. He's accepted her feelings, but not her recent resignation: there's ''definitely'' something going on here, something very likely to be related to the horrors he's discovered about her past... |
*'''XVIII. The Moon''' | *'''XVIII. The Moon''' | ||
**[[Akari Hoshi|<span style="color:white;">Akari Hoshi</span>]]: Once King Leo's minion and chief occupational hazard, Akari has become more of a sister-slash-daughter to the former executive. Abandoning her parents entirely, she's taken up residence in Sudou's flat (where she has her own room) and is now legitimately his ward. She appears to have forgiven him for taking her hostage at the Sky Museum, even though the entire episode resulted in her Shadow becoming ascendant and possessing her. As a reward for attempting to overcome her Possession, Sudou recently gave Akari a kitten...then told her she'd die if she weren't cured, leaving the kitten without anyone to take care of it. #1 Dad, right??? | **[[Akari Hoshi|<span style="color:white;">Akari Hoshi</span>]]: Once King Leo's minion and chief occupational hazard, Akari has become more of a sister-slash-daughter to the former executive.

**[[Maya Amano|<span style="color:white;">Maya Amano</span>]]: Now that the Voices are gone, Sudou finds he's half-awed, half-chastened by the woman he hunted for so long. Alone of all the people he's harmed over the years, Maya is the one who stirs genuine feelings of regret in the former executive's battered heart. Especially because she's forgiven and accepted him, taming the proud creature further. | **[[Maya Amano|<span style="color:white;">Maya Amano</span>]]: Now that the Voices are gone, Sudou finds he's half-awed, half-chastened by the woman he hunted for so long.

Subsequent encounters have proven to Leo that the cop is extremely useful...and to Kohaku, that the once-executive is fucking terrifying as hell.

Subsequent encounters have proven to Leo that the cop is extremely useful...and to Kohaku, that the once-executive is fucking terrifying as hell. The departure of the Voices hasn't changed this, it would seem. Of course now Sudou's actually offered to employ him directly, which is good -- especially since it'll get the now-PTSD'd cop the psychiatric help he wouldn't otherwise receive. |
+ | ***''Maboroshi:'' After successfully assassinating Graf von Leonbrandt, Itsuki found himself confined to the Deep Reach, having been himself killed by Nagato for his crime. Amadeus met him there, and the two struck up an ironic friendship -- one that persisted even when Itsuki was reideated as Rufus Ashworth, a long-suffering Englishman in the Graf's service. | ||

While the elder Tatsuya can't find it in himself to hate Suou anymore (seems it's all burnt out), and in spite of the fact that they no longer appear to occupy the same metaphysical space, they're still opposed for various other reasons. At least they don't give each other headaches just by being near each other, though there is still an uncomfortable spiritual intimacy there. | + | **[[Tatsuya Suou|<span style="color:white;">Tatsuya Suou</span>]]: Sudou's namesake.

At least they don't give each other headaches just by being near each other, though there is still an uncomfortable spiritual intimacy there. Additionally, Sudou continues to be puzzled and angered by the fact that Tatsuya pities him. |

He took further offense to Sudou's equating them as monsters -- and the final stroke was the former executive explaining his reasoning. The fear that overtook Sudou upon seeing Kyo's subsequent tentacular form was exquisitely delicious; the dragon's panicked assault, less so. It's probably safe to say their relationship from here on out will be somewhat less civil, at the very least. |
+ | ***''Maboroshi:'' The demon dragon, dubbed Malak al-Maut by the Princess Cevri, nearly succeeded in killing Graf von Leonbrandt despite the latter's powerful assaults of fire and holy light. Though Amadeus swore he'd get the beast back (and take its head home to Austria), he never got the chance. | ||

+ | ***''Maboroshi:'' Cevri Sultana's mere existence enraged the devoutly Catholic Graf, who missed no opportunity to insult and belittle her. Once he realised who she truly was, his compunction led him to attempt to end her suffering by granting her the pure death of fire. | ||
