fandom.07ghost | # Mikage's Death
Mikage's Death was the possession and eventual death of Mikage Celestine, as well as the first major conflict shown in the series.
The skirmish began following Teito Klein's escape from the Barsburg Military Academy after he attempted to assassinate the army's Chief of Staff. His best friend and accomplice, Mikage, was later arrested on treason charges and possessed through the use of Vertrag's power.
The event was a bungled attempt to return said fugitive Teito Klein to Hohburg Fortress for his trial.
Though the mission to return Teito failed, due to the intervention of Bishop Frau (acting as the Ghost Zehel), the attack alerted Ayanami to the Eye of Mikhail, the Ghosts, and Verloren's Scythe all within the Barsburg Church. This news triggered the Black Hawks' involvement in the Wars Attacks.
Background.
Teito's escape.
After Teito Klein had passed the Begleiter Exam, he overhears a familiar clinking noise when on his way to return his paperwork. He looks through the slightly open door where the sound is coming from and 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 Celestine 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 interrogation.
Mikage Celestine tells the guards he was a hostage, so the military doesn't find out he was an accomplice, but it fails to work and the Chief of Staff has him arrested.
Mikage is confined to a cell and is interrogated by Ayanami and Hyuuga. It is possible, though not confirmed, that he may have been beaten during interrogation. The evidence for him being beaten is stronger in the anime than the manga.
Ayanami offers Mikage a choice between his family and Teito, asking him to chose which one he wishes to die, and if he chooses neither then he (Mikage) will die. Ayanami then possesses half of Mikage's soul using Vertrag's ghost power, then puts a seal on him so he is unable to escape and sends him to the Barsburg Church to find Teito Klein.
History leading up to conflict.
Old man Kor and return of Verloren.
As Teito Klein wanders the Church his is greeted by an Old Man who offers to grant him a wish sould he make a deal with him. Teito later goes to meet the Old man and he (the old man) brings back some of Teito's memories, but the situation turns foul when the man turns out to be a Kor. The Bishops rush to his aid.
As Frau challenges the Old Man on his actions, he (the old man) is revealed to be 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 when 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. As Labrador appears worried that "the flowers are still astir", Frau removes the mark of the Kor from Teito.
The conflict.
Just as Teito attempts to leave the Church, he is suddenly and inexplicably reunited with his best friend Mikage. As Mikage is tired and unable to travel, Teito, the Bishops and the nuns and look after him as he rests.
One-winged Kor.
As the Bishops prepare for mass, Teito goes to visit Mikage Celestine and is overjoyed to see him well but becomes anxious when he finds Mikage's hands are cold.
Meanwhile, the Bishops, who are preparing for the annual Baptism Ceremony, become very worried after Labrador reveals he had a vision of Mikage disappearing, and it's revealed Mikage only has half a soul left and will soon cease to exist. Teito explains all of his recovered memories to Mikage, and is surprised, but pleased when Mikage believes him without question. Teito tells Mikage that he is unable to return to the Imperial Army and upon hearing this, Mikage tells Teito to follow the light instead of taking revenge against the army, and then begs Teito to kill him.
Biding Teito a final goodbye, Mikage suddenly becomes more aggressive, sprouts a single Kor wing, and then attacks Teito. As Teito flees, Mikage pursues him until he has him trapped within the Bridge of Trials.
Castor realises that Teito is in danger due to the destruction of one of his dolls, and the Bishops quickly attempt to track him down. The guardians of the bridge repair the Church's barricades in order to isolate the intruders, and 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 Kor (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 collar on him, letting the collar bite him (Mikage) so it recognises him as his master.
Meanwhile, Frau has separated from his body and begins to search for Teito in Ghost form, encountering the Guardians of the Bridge of Trials as he does so, who tell him that they have sealed the intruders on the Bridge. Teito attempts suicide as a way of bargaining with Mikage, but as he does he accidently summons the God Mikhail. When Mikhail wakes, he (Mikhail) tries in vain to attack Mikage, but the promise collar pevents him from doing so and Mikhail is incapacitated. Frau, having found Teito in time, protects Teito and challenges the one controlling Mikage.
Mikage's death.
The fight with Mikage and Frau continues on the Bridge of Trials, Ayanami, who is in control of half of Mikage's soul, recognises Frau as, Zehel, one of the Seven Ghosts, and calls him by his name. 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 by the Kor wing, and that it is impossible to save him. Teito does not realise this and begs for Mikage 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 begins to crumble away, Teito runs to him, and he and Teito share one last hug. As Ayanami lets Mikage's soul go, he realises why Miroku sent him after Teito.
Aftermath.
Mikage's Reincarnation into a cute looking abomination of a creature.
Teito Klein remembers his friendship with Mikage Celestine and becomes depressed. Frau had been searching for Mikage's reincarnation judging by the colour of people's souls. He eventually found a soul that matched Mikage's in the body of a small pink Fyulong dragon, (nicknamed by fans as Burupya (ブルピャ) due to distinctive call the young have) and brought him to Teito saying that the dragon had fallen out of its mother's nest, and would have been abandoned after as a result.
The reason Mikage chose not to be reincarnated as a human is because he wished to protect Teito, no matter what form.
A contract with the Promise collar.
Frau notices the collar Mikage had placed on Teito during the battle, and tries to remove it. As he tries to cut the collar off Teito's neck, it awakens and bites him, meaning he has accidentally becomes Teito's master.
Castor explains that if they are separated for more than 48 hours, the collar will explode.
Discovery of the Eye of Mikhail and Wars Attacks.
Following the reveal of the Eye of Mikhail, Chief of Staff Ayanami worries that if the Pope got a hold of the Eye, there would be a repeat of the Raggs War, and he tells Hyuuga that they must try to stop this from happening by ensuring the Barsburg Empire is in control of both eyes.
He sends a Kor, Haruse and Kuroyuri to the Barsburg Church, leading to the Wars Attacks.
Consequences.
Aside from Mikage Celestine, no other deaths occurred. Teito Klein and Ayanami were both injured in the battle, the former badly.
The Barsburg Church was also severely damaged during the battle.

fandom.07ghost | # Mikage's Mother
Mikage Celestine's mother did not appear in the series.
History.
She married Karein Celestine and has four children with him. Although she was not seen at Mikage's funeral, she was mentioned in Supreme Sugar 03.
Personality.
In Supreme Sugar 03, Mikage described her as courageous. According to Shuri, Mikage comes from a family of stewards. This implies that Mikage's mother is also a steward, though it remains unclear whether Shuri was referring to both of Mikage's parents or only Karein Celestine.

SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Mikage Celestine is a main character in the 07 Ghost anime and manga series. He was a student at the Barsburg Military Academy who wanted to become a soldier to protect his family, and was Teito's best, and only, friend. Mikage managed to pass the exam, but was unable to accomplish his dreams of becoming a soldier after helping Teito escape. He is arrested and later sent to attack Teito at the Church where he fled as a one-winged Kor. In the anime, Mikage is killed by Zehel (Frau), but in the manga he kills himself. He is later reincarnated in the form of a Fyulong dragon called Burupya. Despite dying early in the series, Mikage remains a popular character with fans of the series, coming 3rd in the 07 Ghost popularity poll.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Mikage is a young boy around the age of 15. He stands at 167 cm, making him of average height for a boy his age, with a slender, long-limbed build. His weight is 51 kg. Mikage has an oval-shaped face with rather pink/tanned skin, a long, thin nose that turns upwards at the tip, and a large mouth with thin lips. His eyes, which are narrowed and amber-coloured, make his face look more mature than Teito's. His hair is pale/ashy blonde, and parted down the left side, though it is kept in a messy fashion and sticks up at all angles. His eyebrows are the same colour. He has an X shaped scar on his right cheek.
His reincarnation looks like a typical Fyulong pup. Burupya is the size of a small house cat, with short, stocky limbs. He has a rather chubby appearance with a disproportionally large head, being almost the same size as his body. His fur is pink, short, and his feathered wings small in comparison to his body length. He has the paws of a cat. He still has the x-shaped scar, though it has been moved to the right side of his forehead. His eyes have gone from amber to pink, and he has a short tail.
During the Hawkzile race, Burupya had his fur dyed black to disguise him.
Clothing.
Mikage 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. While pursuing Teito when possessed by Ayanami, Mikage wears his overcoat open and over his shoulders, like a cape- showing his white shirt.
In an image of Teito's (imagining how Mikage would look if he had survived), 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.
Personality.
Mikage is trusting and truthful, wears his heart on his sleeve, and trusts those around him not to break it. He has a close knit group of loved ones for whom he would sacrifice anything, and is a cheerful and optimistic person.
He is talkative, unafraid of strangers, quick to befriend, very gentle and humble, confident but not overconfident, and sensitive but not easily upset. Mikage focuses more on feelings than rationality and his carefree attitude of peace and harmony sometimes annoys cynics such as Teito, but at the same time his staunch optimism has also garnered admiration from others.
Mikage has been shown to be extremely kind-hearted, not judging people by their social class and treating everyone as if they were equal. Despite the fact that his closeness with Teito makes him a target of ill will, he remains a bright and cheerful person, sticking with Teito even if others make fun of him. He is an emotional person and sensitive to the things going on around him. He is empathetic and makes an excellent listener, but likes to share his thoughts, feelings, and opinions too.
He became a soldier because when he gained the scar on his face it was unsuitable for a butler, which is what his family traditionally did, serving the Oak family. He didn't mind at all.
In the manga, he is a pacifist. When Teito becomes furious at Shuri and punches him, Mikage restrains Teito and tells him not to fight. Also, when on the verge of death, he implores Teito not to take revenge against the military. In the anime, he has a violent streak and engages in multiple fights.
He also has a liking for porn magazines, as seen when he pulls a prank on Shuri at the academy by pulling out porn magazines from under his (Mikage's) desk and making it look as if Shuri was the one who had been reading porn, and when his eyes shone when Frau showed him some porn magazines.
As Burupya.
Once reincarnated as a Fyulong pup, Mikage demonstrated the curious and excitable personality of a child. He became aggressive to people who he felt intimidated Teito, and often bit them in retaliation. However, as long as Teito was safe and happy, Mikage was cheerful. He also showed a playful side, playing with Capella and young Wahrheit Teito Klein.
Abilities and Attributes.
As a human.
Mikage possessed combat Zaiphon. It can be assumed that he did well academically, as he was able to graduate alongside Teito, a gifted student.
As Burupya.
He has strong instincts, seemingly able to sense if someone is a friend or enemy of Teito, and behaves accordingly.

Mikage Celestine is a main character in the 07 Ghost anime and manga series. He was a student at the Barsburg Military Academy who wanted to become a soldier to protect his family, and was Teito's best, and only, friend. Mikage managed to pass the exam, but was unable to accomplish his dreams of becoming a soldier after helping Teito escape. He is arrested and later sent to attack Teito at the Church where he fled as a one-winged Kor. In the anime Mikage is killed by Frau while in Ghost form, but in the manga he kills himself. He is later reincarnated in the form of a Fyulong dragon called Burupya. Despite dying early in the series, Mikage remains a popular character with fans of the series, coming 3rd in the 07 Ghost popularity poll.
Childhood.
Early childhood.
Mikage was born on March 3rd into the Celestine family, a long line of stewards that work for the Oak family. He is the second of four children born to Karein Celestine and Karein's wife. The Celestine family lives in the guest rooms of the Oak house, and appears native to Barsburg, as it is implied his father fought in the Raggs War. Mikage has three siblings: an older brother (Kokuyou), a younger brother (Kohaku), and a younger sister (Rinka).
Teenage years.
Mikage was scarred on the cheek when fighting with his younger brother, Kohaku, and this is what forced him from the Oak House, as Oak standards meant that they refused to have a bulter with a scarred face. Mikage then aspired to become a soldier, and enrolled at the Barsburg military academy.
Barsburg military academy.
Meeting Teito.
Mikage first met Teito when they were room-mates, and Teito attacked Mikage when he hugged him to say hello. Mikage would sit with and talk to Teito despite the rumours surrounding Teito and would encourage him not to have violent outbursts.
Series start.
Mikage is first introduced at the Academy where he surprises Teito from behind and offers to sit with him, ignoring Teito's protests. During class, Mikage hears Shuri speaking unkindly about Teito, so he uses his Zaiphon to move the porn books from under his desk onto Shuri and Lloyd and blame it on Shuri.
Begleiter exam.
Mikage is excited about the exam and expresses that he wants to be a soldier so that he can protect his family. For the exam he is sorted into group A, and forced to fight a criminal in order to pass. During the fight, he teams up with Teito and together they break the criminal's arm in two places and Teito restrains him. Ayanami executes the criminal after Teito refuses, the exam ends and Mikage passes. Though pleased with his pass, he berates himself for showing fear and congratulates Teito on saving Shuri.
Arrest.
When two guards are clearing out Teito's locker, Mikage overhears their gossip about Teito's fate, that Teito has been arrested for trying to kill the Chief of Staff, 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 so the military doesn't find out he was an accomplice, but it fails to work and the Chief of Staff has him arrested.
Interrogation and release.
Mikage is confined to a cell and is interrogated by Ayanami and Hyuuga. It is possible, though not confirmed, that he may have been beaten during interrogation. The evidence for him being beaten is stronger in the anime than the manga.
Ayanami offers Mikage a choice between his family and Teito, asking him to choose which one he wishes to die, and if he chooses neither then he (Mikage) will die. Ayanami then possesses half of Mikage's soul using Vertrag's ghost power, then puts a seal on him so he is unable to escape and sends him to the Barsburg Church.
Recovery and Death.
Just as Teito attempts to leave the Church, he is suddenly and inexplicably reunited with his best friend Mikage. As Mikage is tired and unable to travel, Teito, the Bishops and the nuns look after him as he rests.
Warning signs.
Teito goes to visit Mikage once again, and is overjoyed to see him well but becomes anxious when he finds Mikage's hands are cold. They are both unaware that the Bishops are also becoming very worried 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 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 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.
One winged-Kor.
Bidding Teito a final goodbye, Mikage suddenly becomes more aggressive, sprouts a single Kor wing, and then attacks Teito. Mikage, now a one-winged Kor and under Ayanami's complete control, pursues a fleeing Teito and has him cornered on the Bridge of Trials. The two fight. Mikage attempts to place a Promise Collar on Teito that will control him.
Teito fights back and attempts to destroy Mikage's Kor wing. Mikage, actually Ayanami, 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.
Death.
As Teito attempts suicide, he accidentally summons the God Mikhail who tries in vain to attack Mikage, but is prevented by the collar from doing so. Frau, having found Teito in time, protects Teito and challenges Ayanami, the one controlling Mikage.
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 Mikage to be saved by the Ghost. Ayanami, controlling Mikage, goads Teito into taking revenge against the Barsburg Imperial Army, and then Mikage throws himself against the scythe Zehel is wielding, which cuts his wing, thus killing him.
As Mikage begins to crumble away, Teito runs to him, and he and Teito share one last hug. His last words are begging Teito not to look for revenge, but instead to keep walking towards the light, and that he loves Teito.
Reincarnation.
Following his death, Frau had been searching for Mikage's reincarnation judging by the colour of people's souls. He eventually found a soul that matched Mikage's in the body of a small pink Fyulong dragon, (nicknamed by fans as Burupya (ブルピャ) due to distinctive call the young have) and brought him to Teito saying that the dragon had fallen out of its mother's nest, and would have been abandoned after as a result.
The reason Mikage chose not to be reincarnated as a human is because he wished to protect Teito, no matter what form.
Bishop's Apprentice Exam Arc.
Mikage took the Bishop's Apprentice Exam with Teito. He was present through both parts of the exam and watched Teito face his biggest fear: Ayanami, and defeat it, passing the exam.
Upon exiting the exam room with Teito, they are greeted by Frau, and the sight of several bodies of members of the imperial army on the floor. Giving Hakuren a final goodbye, Teito and Frau rush out of the Barsburg Church to escape the Barsburg Armed Forces.
In the anime, Mikage appears to Teito in spirit form while Teito and Frau are leaving the Church. This does not occur in the manga.
Journey to the 6th District.
Mikage joins Teito Klein, Frau and Capella in their journey to District 6. There they attract the attention of slave-trader Carl- Capella's former owner who is angry at the theft of his slave and the destruction of his cart.
Carl confronts them in Ria with a small army of subordinates and threatens Frau. Frau and Teito instead 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. They all enter Carl's cart.
Once inside, Mikage falls asleep next to Capella as Frau and Teito talk. Carl, who intended to hide Teito from the military in order to sell him to a rich noble, drops a gas bomb into the back of his truck, containing a sleeping gas. Once the cart reached the 6th District, Teito, Frau, Capella and Mikage all bolt out of the cart on one of the Hawkziles that was inside- as Mikage had eaten the gas bomb, sparing the others its effects.
Hausen House Arc.
Mikage goes with Teito Klein to the Hausen House.
Whilst in the house, Teito later runs himself a bath to relax. As he bathes, the Wars enters his room, notices Teito in the bathroom, and attempts to attack him while he is distracted. However, Teito senses the presence and defends himself- knocking his attacker back. As Teito pulls away the shower curtain to discover his attacker's identity, he sees that there is nothing there. The Wars escaped, leaving nothing behind but a ransacked room and a small piece of rubble that Burupya notices. Teito collects it as evidence.
After the Wars had been destroyed, Mikage later leaves with Teito, Frau and Capella.
Title.
Mikage is not seen at Princess Ouka's birthday ball, possibly because pets are not allowed at the ball.
Teito originally intended to exchange his life for Mikage's upon gaining an audience with God. However, in the final manga chapter, Mikage is shown to have remained by Teito's side when Teito is reincarnated, and is briefly seen holding the Eye of Mikhail in his mouth.

Academy students.
Despite being a friendly and outgoing person that would have made friends quickly, due to his connection to Teito he did not have any other friends in the academy.
Teito Klein.
During Teito's years at the academy Mikage was Teito's best, and only, friend- frequently caring about him, making sure he ate, trying to teach him how to smile, thanking him for saving his life, and being a very caring room mate. When Teito and Mikage first met, he first tried to shake his hand, then hug him, causing Teito to punch him out. Prolonged exposure made them good friends. Despite their greatly different personalities, Teito's pessimism and Mikage's optimism, often causing quarrels and fights, Mikage thought of Teito as his best friend.
Their first meeting did not go well- with Teito slapping Mikage because the latter got too close, but Mikage worked to get Teito to open up. Mikage's personality meant that he would not treat Teito like the other students did; instead of viewing Teito as the smug sklave others did, he instead saw him as someone needing a friend. Mikage sought to include Teito in activities in the hope it would improve his attitude- ignoring Teito's reluctance, and despite facing ridicule and exclusion from the other students Mikage still remained by Teito's side. Through the fact that they were on the same team and shared a bunk in a dorm-room, Teito and Mikage eventually moved past their differences and became very close.
Mikage and Teito's friendship is similar to Teito and Frau's, and the pair constantly engage in banter. While Mikage teases Teito, it is always light-hearted, and it is usually to encourage Teito to be more lively. However, while Mikage annoys Teito- he becomes annoyed and offended when others say hurtful things to his friend, and will not hesitate to defend Teito when he comes under attack, regardless of who it is.
Mikage sees Teito as a member of his own family and treated him accordingly. He acted like a protective older brother, and he would cheer him up when he became sad, and defend him when others teased him, although Mikage also sometimes adopted a motherly role to Teito (e.g. making sure he ate proper meals instead of pills).
His trust in his friend was unquestionable, and he believed Teito above everything else. Mikage's faith in Teito was shown when he heard Teito had been imprisoned, and Mikage was willing to sacrifice everything he worked for on a whim, and despite not hearing the whole story, Mikage was immediately convinced Teito was justified and helped him escape. Even when imprisoned, Mikage refused to incriminate Teito. Even though this cost him his life, Mikage bore no ill will towards Teito, and instead wished to continue to protect Teito in another life. Now unable to speak, Mikage still remains by Teito's side.
At times, it is unclear whether they are simply good friends or something more. In the anime, Mikage once shared Teito's bed, and in his final moments, he said that he loves Teito. Although Mikage refers to his love for Teito with "daisuki", when Labrador refers to Mikage's love for Teito, he uses "aishiteru" which is typically only used between lovers. Also, Frau once wondered if Mikage is Teito's boyfriend. The exact nature of their relationship is left open to interpretation.
Shuri Oak.
In the academy, Mikage did not appear to like Shuri, and there was mutual hostility between the two, brought on by the fact that Shuri verbally bullied Teito. When Shuri did this, Mikage would fight back against Shuri, although Mikage seemed to take a more pacifistic approach in the manga. Later in the series, it was revealed that Mikage and Shuri were in fact playmates and friends when they were children. Shuri was shown to feel sad over Mikage's death, although he denies it when Teito says so.
Barsburg Church.
Due to his friendly nature, Mikage quickly bonded with the Bishops and nuns of the Barsburg Church while he was recovering and they cared for him.
Frau.
Before Mikage's death, they interacted very little. In the time spent together, Mikage and Frau got along fairly well, and shared an interest in looking at eroge magazines. Mikage appreciated Frau's attempts to make him feel welcome when he first arrived, and seemed to take an instant liking to Frau. Frau himself was enraged by Ayanami's callous possession of him, showing that although they had a short interaction, Frau did care for Mikage. After his death and reincarnation, Mikage's feelings towards Frau seem mixed, as he bites and chews on Frau often, but seems to enjoy riding on his head.
It was Frau who found Mikage's reincarnation after his death.
Hakuren Oak.
Seeing as Hakuren is an Oak, and Mikage previously worked for the Oaks, Mikage may have met Hakuren before, although Hakuren showed no sign of recognition when Teito told him Mikage's name. When reincarnated, Mikage took an instant liking to Hakuren, often riding on his head as a means of travel. When Mikage went on the Hawkzile race, he was separated from Hakuren and jumped into his arms when they were reunited.
Although they have never been shown to know each other in the anime and manga, they seem to be friends in the side chapter Supreme Sugar 03.
Mikhail.
Mikhail never spoke to Mikage's human form, but does display some fondness for Mikage's reincarnation. In the last chapter, Mikage's reincarnation briefly appears with the Eye of Mikhail in his mouth.
Enemies.
Ayanami.
Ayanami killed Mikage for refusing to bring Teito back to the Barsburg military, and also to goad Teito into taking revenge against him (Ayanami). However, Mikage does not seem to resent Ayanami.
Family.
Mikage had a good relationship with his siblings and father, who were apparently aggrieved at his death. He once described his mother as courageous , but his relationship with her is otherwise unclear.

Etymology.
Mikage (御影) can mean a 'nobility of the soul' or 'holy spirit'. Mikage's noble cause was to die to protect Teito and his spirit continued to protect Teito for the rest of the series. Alternatively, 'Mi' and 'Kage' can mean 'beautiful' and 'shadow' respectively, in Japanese, thus, 'Mikage' can also be interpreted to mean 'beautiful shadow'.
In Japanese, "mikageishi" ("ishi" denotes "stone") means granite.
'Celestine' is a name of English and French origins that means 'heavenly'.
Early 07-Ghost.
Mikage's earliest appearance was in the first pilot chapter Seven Ghosts. His character design has not changed at all for the finalised series; his appearance is identical down to the X-shaped scar on his cheek. He was originally known as Ciel, it is unknown why the creater decided to change his name to Mikage.
Pre-chapter 1 Mikage's backstory is almost identical to modern Mikage's. He helped Teito escape after the latter attacked Ayanami, though it is not shown whether Teito attempted to take him hostage like in the first chapter. Nevertheless he was killed, and it is heavily implied that Lloyd was the one who killed him. Mikage's death motivates Teito to take revenge against the military like it does in the finished series.
Mikage does not return as a dragon in Seven Ghosts. Instead it is Teito who becomes a dragon when he disobeys his master because of the promise collar.
Differences in the manga and anime.
Mikage's choice.
Ayanami gives Mikage a choice between his family and Teito, threatening to kill Mikage's family if he does not bring Teito back to the military. In the anime, Mikage chooses to save Teito. In the manga, Ayanami instead puts a seal on Mikage, meaning Mikage himself will die if he refuses to make a decision. Mikage refuses to
choose Teito or his family to die, so is killed when Ayanami releases his soul.

SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Mikhail (sometimes alternatively spelled as Michaelus, Michael or Mikael) is a secondary protagonist in the 07-Ghost series and an archangel whose power can be accessed through a stone known as the Eye of Mikhail. Using Mikhail's power allows him to possess the body of his host, most recently Wahrheit Tiashe Raggs (also known as Teito Klein) and previously Weldeschtein Krom Raggs, using the Eye that is sealed inside the host's right hand.
Mikhail is one of two archangels in the series who are able to use an Eye to possess a host or vessel in the series, the other being Raphael, who currently possesses Ouka. In Christianity, Islam and Judaism, Mikhail is one of the Seven Archangels.
For a while after the events of Kapitel 89, the Eye of Mikhail was 'unresponsive' or 'broken', and temporarily ceased to function due to damage caused by Raphael, but Kapitel 99 revealed that the Eye resumed functioning normally after Verloren left, and Mikhail himself is still alive. After Teito went to Seele, Mikhail is implied to have remained in the human world as the Eye of Mikhail was seen in Mikage Celestine's mouth. Nothing else is known about Mikhail's eventual fate.
Etymology.
Mikhail is clearly based on the archangel in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. The name 'Mikhail', (also known as 'Mikha'el', 'Michael' or 'Micheal'), is a given name that comes from the Hebrew: מִיכָאֵל / מיכאל, which is derived from the rhetorical question מי כאל (mi k'ʔel) meaning "Who is like God?", "Like unto God", "Who is like the Divine?".
'Mikhail' is the Russian form of the English name 'Michael'.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Mikhail, the archangel , is a youthful-looking man with a muscular build, many times the size of a normal human. He has long, wavy, light-coloured hair, and probably has red eyes. Considering that many other immortal beings in the series e.g. Verloren (Ayanami), Frau (Zehel) and Labrador (Profe) have pale skin, Mikhail may have pale skin. In the anime, Mikhail's eyes glow under certain light.
Being a god, his appearance does not show his true age, which is unknown.
When in possession of a vessel.
As shown with Teito, when Mikhail is in control of a vessel's body, he takes on the physical appearance of his vessel, and his vessel's irises become red, the same colour as the Eye of Mikhail, with slitted pupils like that of a cat or a snake.
Clothing.
Mikhail wears a long, loose white robe around his hips that exposes his upper body, and opera-length (ending just below the shoulders) gloves on both arms. He also wears a large bracelet engraved with the Barsburg cross on each wrist, as well as a similar looking visor and necklace. Being an angel, he has feathered wings, though they are pierced with cuffs at the joint where the humerus and ulna meet.
In anime Episode 23, he is briefly shown wearing a Barsburg soldier's cap and uniform.
Personality.
Mikhail is rather childish and impulsive. He often makes undignified faces when talking to the Ghosts, and blushes when expressing enthusiasm over something. However, this childlike behavior belies the extremely powerful, dangerous and at times malevolent god that he is. He has a mercurial and volatile disposition, sometimes unnerving even the Ghosts, but can be calm when the situation calls for it.
Most people find Mikhail fearsome. Even Hakuren and the ghosts are cautious around him. He has, at times, taken advantage of his ability to intimidate others. Despite being an angel, he can be quite rude and frequently uses swear words to get his point across.
He is also very arrogant and head-strong, being undeterred by the danger of a situation and always believing he will be able to win. He takes pride in his status as a god, is greatly insulted when others underestimate him, and his pride often prevents him from accepting help in battle, regardless of whether he needs it. Mikhail is usually very surprised when an opponent turns out to be stronger than he has expected. He can be quite confrontational and vengeful, and is very authoritative, speaking to enemies and allies alike with cold finality and choosing words that establish his dominance over them. He ostensibly considers it his right to give orders and expect them to be obeyed. As stated by the Former Assistant Archbishops, Mikhail hates to be ruled.
Mikhail is rather ruthless, and has little or no regard for human life. Some of the things he has said also indicate that he does not like or respect humans in general, although he makes an exception for Teito. However, he is not above expressing gratitude to humans when he thinks they deserve it.
Mikhail has great respect for beauty, and is biased in favour of those who possess it. His love of Teito, even amongst other wielders, partly stems from the latter's beauty, and it could be argued that Profe is his favourite Ghost because its reincarnations have always been very beautiful.
Despite his arrogance and apathy towards most beings apart from his master, though, Mikhail has occasionally shown a more considerate side. He is loyal to and trusts his allies.
It's implied that Mikhail is an alcoholic, or at least prone to irrational or reckless behaviour when under the influence. Mikhail seems to be easily distracted when not fighting. His interactions with Mikage's reincarnation hint at a softer, animal-loving side of him.
Relationships.
Counterpart Angel.
Raphael.
Raphael is shown to be very respectful towards Mikhail, calling him "Mikhail-sama" and was crying when Mikhail voiced displeasure with her, which implies that she greatly values Mikhail's opinion of her. The two archangels seem fond of each other, as Mikhail once said that he wanted to destroy Raphael, but forgave Raphael after the latter overcame her brainwashing, and Raphael said that she was happy to see Mikhail in chapter 86. They have similarly bloodthirsty natures when it comes to avenging their masters.
As both of them are archangels and immortal beings, it's probable that they have known each other for very long. It's hinted that they have been alive before the Seven Ghosts were created . It's unknown if angels in the 07-Ghost universe regard each other as family. If so, Mikhail and Raphael can be considered relatives.
Vessels.
Teito Klein.
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's revealed that Mikhail has been with him for ten years, ever since he was a child. It's shown in the flashbacks and memories that Mikhail used to play with Teito when he was a child, and that Mikhail was the one 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 extremely protective of Teito, as he will exterminate anyone who posed a threat to 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 attempting to killed Teito, and went on to rendered Haruse comatose for trying to separate the Eye from Teito, and kept Pandora's Box sealed within Teito's body. If it's not within Mikhail's power to protect Teito such as when the Eye of Mikhail and Teito were separated, Mikhail will do his best to use other ways to ensure that 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 allows himself to be brainwash after Ayanami lure him into a dead end by wiring Teito to a machine that releases brainwaves that making Teito freaks out and damage Teito's brain .
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 cares deeply for Mikhail, as he asked Mikhail if he 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.
Weldeschtein Krom Raggs.
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 activated the Eye of Mikhail in the correct way , when Teito was young . 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 enough to attempt to save him .
Seven Ghosts.
Mikhail has known, and been allied with, the Seven Ghosts for a very long time, since the first generation of Seven Ghosts used the Eye of Mikhail to seal Verloren's body. His relationships with them vary widely-some find him likeable and respect him, a few neither like nor dislike him, and others have mixed feelings towards him .
Zehel (Guido).
Guido's relationship with Mikhail was rather similar to Frau's relationship with Mikhail . When meeting with the previous generation of Seven Ghosts during the Raggs War, Mikhail showed the most dislike to Guido.
Mikhail made no secret of his displeasure at Guido's teasing of Teito and calling Teito a brat. In response to Guido's making fun of Teito, Mikhail attacked Guido, but the attempt missed and hit Ea instead. Mikhail, swearing at Guido for familiarity towards his master, was pleaded with by Vertrag (Fea Kreuz Raggs) to stop making Teito say such inappropriate words. Later, both Mikhail and Guido eventually calmed down, and seemed indifferent towards each other by the end of the meeting. Despite this event, they worked together to protect and defend Teito.
Apart from the Raggs War meeting, no other interactions have been shown between them.
Zehel (Frau).
Mikhail and Frau seem to have mixed feelings towards each other. Due to their similar hotheaded personalities, they often argue with each other, sometimes even resorting to physical violences , name-calling and threats. The drama CD 07-GHOST reveals that Mikhail also dislikes Frau's lording of height difference over Teito.
However, Mikhail also works closely with Frau to protect and defend Teito. In return, Frau trusts and relies on Mikhail to a certain extent, as shown in Kapitel 93 when he calls out to Mikhail to help Teito. Mikhail and Frau have been shown to get along fairly well on a few occasions. Despite their strained relationship, Frau is the Ghost that Mikhail has the most interaction with, and when it comes to Teito, they are able to put their differences aside and cooperate, even if only temporarily. When Frau and Teito were separated in Hohburg Fortress, Mikhail made a point of checking Frau's condition to reassure Teito that Frau was completely fine .
At times, they do seem to have some genuine affection for each other. After fighting each other in Hohburg Fortress, Frau half-jokingly said that Mikhail is "not cute at all", and both clearly enjoy teasing each other.
Profe (Labrador).
As Mikhail is biased in favour of those who possess beauty, he tends to favour Profe over the other Ghosts, as reincarnations of Profe tend to be very beautiful and attractive . Mikhail seemed to have a good relationship with the previous reincarnation of Profe , Raggs War Profe . Both Labrador and his predecessor were quite indulgent towards Mikhail . Hakuren claims that Labrador was the best one in dealing with Mikhail.
In a drama CD track, Labrador was shown to be respectful towards Mikhail, calling him "Mikhail-sama". However , Labrador was also somewhat wary of him , and does makes some tea for the angel . Labrador once attempting to convince Mikhail to return a bottle of vodka that he had found in Frau's room.
Fest (Castor).
Castor and Mikhail's relationship has not been shown in much details , but it's hinted that they had a complicated one . Castor once called Frau a troublemaker for pissing off Mikhail, indicating that Castor may be wary of offending the archangel.
Castor is shown fearlessly point out something strange for Mikhail to see , as shown in Kapitel 8/episode 10 when Castor make a nerves-hitting statement that to removing the promise collar from Teito's neck would require enlisting the military's help, and that it would be troublesome for Mikhail . In return for Castor's advice , Mikhail did not become angry and instead took Castor's words seriously in his heart , clearly showing that he may have some respect for Castor to a certain extent .
However , Mikhail also mocked Castor for having to remain in the human world . Being one of the Seven Ghosts and therefore an immortal being, Castor has known Mikhail for a crazy amount of time .
Vertrag (Fea).
Fea Kreuz was respectful towards Mikhail, politely addressing him as "Mikhail-sama". Kreuz has been seen teaching Teito how to use the Eye of Mikhail properly, in flashbacks and memories of Teito's memories .
At a certain point , when Mikhail was possessing Teito and proceed to went on using inappropriate words , Kreuz begs with Mikhail not to make Teito say such cursed words , but Mikhail ignored him.
Apart from their shared connection to Teito, Mikhail shows little interest in Kreuz, though the angel probably does respect Kreuz to some extent, since Kreuz is the beloved uncle of Teito, Mikhail's master.
Ea (Karu).
Mikhail and Karu have only interacted a few times during the series. Once, an attack that Mikhail had intended to hit Zehel missed and hit Ea instead. However, Ea did not retaliate.
In Kapitel 86, Mikhail expressed displeasure at Karu's past abusive treatment of Teito, although Karu never truly had bad intentions towards Teito. It seems that Mikhail was aware of Karu's moving the original Ouka's soul into the current Ouka's body ten years ago, even before Karu said so himself.
Both of them being immortal beings, Mikhail and Karu have known each other for very long. Apart from that, little else is known about their relationship .
Landkarte (Katsuragi).
Considering that Landkarte betrayed his duties and tried to harm Teito, it's likely that Mikhail dislikes him, although Landkarte has since repented.
Relikt (Lance).
Of all the present-day Ghosts, Lance has the least interaction with Mikhail . Mikhail did not appear particularly interested in the previous reincarnation of Relikt , and the previous reincarnation of Relikt , Raggs War Relikt has not been shown having a lot of interacting with Mikhail
When infiltrating Hohburg Fortress, Lance's main concern was the Eye of Mikhail. However, he has on occasion not displayed most characters' usual reverence for the Eye, and spoke quite loudly about it in the Church until Castor forcibly silenced him in case Mikhail nearby .
Other immortal beings.
Verloren (Ayanami).
So far, Mikhail and Verloren have had little direct interaction, but it's probable that Mikhail knows Verloren, as Mikhail is an archangel who has lived for very long, and obviously having knows the Seven Ghosts and Verloren's Scythe . In Kapitel 68 , it's proved that Mikhail knows Verloren, as the angel spoke with the previous generation of Seven Ghosts about Verloren and Pandora's Box.
It's probable that Mikhail hates Verloren for causing Mikhail's beloved master , Teito physically and emotionally suffer in his current reincarnation, Ayanami, and it's equally likely that Verloren hates the angel in return, as Mikhail seals his true body Pandora's Box, Verloren's true body, through the Eye of Mikhail, and is allied with the Seven Ghosts, whom Verloren resents as they are 'just his replicas'. Ayanami refers to Mikhail as 'an unmanageable person' and 'that angel'.
During the military's attempts to brainwash the archangel in Kapitel 79 , Ayanami successfully managed to brainwash Mikhail after Ayanami pointed out that Teito is connect a machine that releases brainwaves that making Teito feels terror under his command . However, both Mikhail and Teito eventually managed to overcome the brainwashing when the sight of Frau resulted in the return of Teito's flashbacks and memories.
Mikhail may have been one of the inhabitants of Heaven whom the Chief of Heaven spoke to about Verloren's defect in Kapitel 89. It is likely that Mikhail has known Verloren for a very long time, both of them being gods.
Verloren's Scythe.
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, it's likely that Mikhail's resent toward the scythe may extend to a level .
Chief of Heaven.
Being an archangel, it is probable that Mikhail knows the Chief of Heaven and is affiliated with him. Mikhail's relationship with the Chief of Heaven has not been shown , although it's safe to presume likely that he is loyal to him . It's still a mystery if Mikhail resents the Chief for sending him to the human world.
Mikhail made a brief reference to the Chief of Heaven in Kapitel 86 , mentioning that Chief of Heaven was deeply shocked and saddened for Raphael's situation , due to the fact that Raphael had been brainwashed for 10 years. This could mean that Mikhail may know the Chief of Heaven on a personal level, or at least know him well enough to understand his feelings in certain situations.
Their personalities are slightly similar, as they share a fondness for beauty and a proud nature. This could indicate that the Chief made Mikhail a little like himself.
Eve.
Mikhail has not been shown interacting with Eve so far, but it is likely that he knew her, considering that both of them are gods. Mikhail has never appeared in any of Eve's flashbacks; this could mean that he was not very close to her or at least did not spend a lot of time with her.
However, as Eve was the Chief's daughter, it is likely that Mikhail respected her enough to at least consider her his superior and he also fought against Verloren after he killed Eve along with Raphael and the Seven Ghosts, implying he cared enough to help avenge her death.
Residents of the human world.
Mikhail , overall in the series , is heavily implied to dislike humans in general, and describes them as 'foolish'. It is hinted that he would not remain in the human world if he had a choice, and he shows a rather callous disregard for human life, shown when he tried to kill Castor and Frau (when he thought they were humans) simply for annoying him. However, he apparently makes an exception for Teito, as Teito is his respected and beloved master.
Mikage Celestine.
Mikhail never spoke to Mikage's human form, but does display some fondness for Mikage's reincarnation. In manga Kapitel 8/anime episode 10, Mikhail smiled affectionately at Mikage's reincarnation and stroked his fur. It's likely that Mikhail knows about the events that led to Mikage's demise and reincarnation, and he values Mikage's positive influence on Teito. In the last chapter, Mikage's reincarnation briefly appears with the Eye of Mikhail in his mouth.
Hakuren Oak.
Mikhail and Hakuren have only interacted a few times so far, but Mikhail has commented that Hakuren is someone who is very important to Teito, and that Hakuren's voice has the power to soothe Teito and Teito's heart cares about Hakuren.
Mikhail once thanked Hakuren (anime episode 19/manga Kapitel 18) and Hakuren has sung a lullaby for Teito at Mikhail's request. Mikhail has commented that Hakuren is someone who is dear to Teito , and then Mikhail went on stated that he likes Hakuren's honesty.
Hakuren appeared unfazed the first time Mikhail converse with him. However, it seems that Hakuren might be somewhat frightened, or at least wary, of Mikhail, as in a track on one of the drama CDs, Hakuren is seen served Mikhail desserts in an attempt to placate him, and he speaking to Mikhail in a flustered way speaking to Mikhail, despite his usual calm and diplomatic nature. In the same drama CD track, Hakuren appeared to be afraid that Mikhail would killed him or destroy the world. Mikhail resents the fact that Hakuren once called Teito an elementary schooler, but then forgave Hakuren for Teito's sake. Hakuren chided Mikhail after seeing him fall asleep during a conversation between them.
Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg.
Mikhail acknowledges Ouka as the master of his fellow archangel, Raphael, but his opinion of her is otherwise unclear. It seems that Mikhail was aware of Karu/Ea moving the original Ouka's soul into the current Ouka's body ten years ago, even before Karu/Ea himself said so, as shown in Kapitel 86.
Mikhail is one of the few characters in the series who refer to Ouka by her first name. Throughout the series, Mikhail choose not to speaks directly to her and ostensibly prefers to speak to Raphael.
The Black Hawks.
As the Black Hawks are Verloren/Ayanami's followers, and, like their leader, have done things to harm or inflict physical and/or emotional pain on Teito, it is likely that Mikhail dislikes them.
When the Black Hawks set out to capture the Eye of Mikhail and Haruse attempted to capture Teito by strangling him, Mikhail attack Haruse without a second thought , emitting lights that separating Haruse's soul from his body, resulting in Haruse fallen into comatose state.
Castor's Dolls.
Although Mikhail has been shown interacting with Castor's dolls only once and rather briefly at that, the Sister dolls seem to like him, as one of them had no problem handing Mikage's reincarnation to him, and even smiled while doing so, displaying a friendly attitude towards Mikhail that contrasted with Frau's and Castor's unease around him.
Bastien.
Mikhail disliked Bastien and was willing to kill him for hurting Teito, but then he had no other choice beside unwillingly relented when Teito asked Mikhail not to harm Bastien. When Frau arrived to rescue Teito, Mikhail stood on the sideline and witness the whole scene as Frau killed Bastien.
Nanase.
Like Raphael, Mikhail hates Nanase for what the pain the scientist had inflicted on his master, Teito, referring to Nanase as 'that scum', and saying that he wanted to make Nanase 'taste living hell' for toying with Teito.
Abilities and Attributes.
Immortality.
Being an archangel, Mikhail has been alive for hundreds, possibly even thousands, of years.
Mental.
Due to Teito wielding the Eye of Mikhail, Mikhail's spirit inhabits Teito's body. While normally lying dormant until called out, he has the ability to possess his host at any time.
Due to Mikhail and Teito sharing a mental link, Mikhail is acutely aware of Teito's thoughts and feelings and is able to base his decisions depend on them. Even when not in direct control of Teito's body, he is still able to hear and see everything that is happening, as he shows knowledge of certain topics even when he was lying dormant at the time. He is able to sense oncoming danger even when Teito is asleep or not looking, and take control of Teito without his master's permission.
Being an archangel, Mikhail can speak the language of the gods. He is apparently able to speak human languages fluently as well. Like the other immortal beings in the series, Mikhail possesses knowledge of many spiritual matters, including Pandora's Box and Hell.
Physical.
As an archangel, Mikhail is acknowledged as being extremely powerful in the series universe, to the extent that even Ayanami was shocked the first time when he witnessed Mikhail's power. He is able to seal Verloren's true body, Pandora's Box, with ease, through the Eye of Mikhail. He can also cause explosions large enough to be seen from a long distance away and form an Eye of God crater in the ground.
His standard method of attack is to create and control branch-like portrusions that extend from the area surrounding the Eye of Mikhail on Teito's hand. They appear to have the same strength and durability as bone or blade.
Using these, he is able to attack by stabbing and slashing at opponents, and defend by using the branch protrusions to block attacks. He is also shown to be able to grow wings on his back, though he had difficulty in making full use of them when hindered by Wars.
He can wield combat Zaiphon, as well as restore life to dead things through the Eye of Mikhail. Whilst being able to restore life, he is also able to destroy it (how he does this is unknown, possibly illusions), though it appears this applies only to human life.
Mikhail has demonstrated that he is capable of fighting on par with Verloren's scythe. He is implied to be even more powerful than the Seven Ghosts : he was shown to intimidate Frau and Castor with an illusion, the Ghosts appear wary of offending him for fear of what he can do in retaliation, Verloren's scythe did not resist when he forced it to retreat, whereas Frau struggled to restrain it; and he was able to seal Pandora's Box whereas the first generation of Seven Ghosts were unable to. Mikhail is hinted to be able to kill or at least injure the Seven Ghosts : when he stabbed Frau at Ouka's Groom Choosing ball, it's was implied that Frau would have been harmed if Verloren's Scythe had not protected him, and Teito was surprised to see Frau unharmed after Mikhail's attack.
It's been hinted that when Teito was a combat slave, there were times when Mikhail killed people for him. This suggests that at the very least, Mikhail is capable of fighting on par with Teito, who is a trained assassin.
As shown with Raphael in Kapitel 86 , when Mikhail flicks someone's forehead, he is able to temporarily leave a small dent in the person's forehead, and smoke briefly issues out from the dent. This move seems designed to startle and admonish rather than seriously injure the recipient.
Flight.
Considering that Mikhail's true form has wings, Mikhail may be able to fly when in his true form.
Illusions.
Mikhail appears to be able to create illusions powerful enough to intimidate even the Seven Ghosts (as shown in Kapitel 8 and anime episode 10).
Spiritual.
When fighting against Bastien, Mikhail was easily able to fend off Bastien's Wars at first, though the Wars eventually entered the Eye of Mikhail when Teito stopped Mikhail from attacking Bastien and Mikhail unwillingly relented. Mikhail can sense Raphael and the Ghosts from a certain distance . During his battle with Haruse, he also demonstrated the ability to separate a soul from its body, leaving the body in a vegetative state.
Mikhail once implied that he can make others feel despair beyond even that which is experienced in the ninth layer of hell, though it is unclear if he was exaggerating. On a few occasions, he has threatened to send people he dislikes to the ninth layer of hell, and is hinted to be able to do so.
Levels.
Mikhail's power is separated into energy levels.
LV. 40: When Mikhail released LV. 40 it created a meteor shower that destroyed a large portion of the mountain below, as well as two military grade Ribidzile.
History.
Before Raggs War.
Exactly how and when Mikhail was born or created is unknown. At some point in his life, he and Raphael left Heaven and helped the Seven Ghosts defeat Verloren. Mikhail then stayed in the mortal world and protected the Raggs kingdom through the Eye of Mikhail, which was passed down through several generations of Raggs royalty.
During and after Raggs War.
Before Teito, the host of Mikhail was Weldeschtein Krom Raggs, who was forced to give the Eye of Mikhail to his son to stop Verloren from eating his (Teito's) soul.
Later in the series, the Eye of Mikhail was stolen by the Black Hawks. Even when it had not yet been retrieved, though,Teito was still able to use Mikhail's power temporarily by passing a link through a spell that causes a reaction. Teito later got it back, but as of Kapitel 89, it appeared to be damaged, though not for long.
Manga Synopsis.
Mikage's death.
Mikhail first makes an appearance when Teito is being pursued by Mikage, whilst possessed by Ayanami. Teito has the promise collar placed on him and accidentally awakens Mikhail, who had been sleeping inside of him.
Mikhail possesses Teito and demands that Ayanami remove the collar. Ayanami in turn uses the command 'bind' to incapacitate Mikhail, making Teito regain consciousness.
Discovery of the Eye of Mikhail.
Mikhail appears again when Verloren's Scythe releases itself and attacks an unconscious Teito Klein. Mikhail, noticing the danger, protects Teito, and threatens the Ghosts for the scythe's attack. Knowing that Teito does not want to hurt the Ghosts, Mikhail relents and withdraws his weapons but Castor provokes the God into fury when he questions his authenticity.
Mikhail begins to tear apart the room and rips off the Ghosts' human disguises. Upon seeing their true forms, he returns everything to normal and mocks the fact that they (the Ghosts) are forced to interact with humans on a daily basis, then demands Castor remove the collar. Castor informs the God that they cannot do this without the army's help, and Mikhail calms down when he realises Teito does not want to return to the army. Frau then uses the sleep command and Teito regains consciousness after Mikhail goes to sleep.
Battling Bastien.
When Bastien is revealed to be a Barsburg spy, he (Bastien) attacks Teito Klein for treason against the Barsburg King for escaping with the Eye of Mikhail. Teito fights Bastien, but is quickly overpowered and Bastien forces a Wars into Teito's body with the intention of corrupting the Eye of Mikhail. As Teito is being devoured, the Eye of Mikhail activates, Mikhail wakes and tries to destroy the Wars. Mikhail attempts to kill Bastien for attacking Teito, but Teito implores him not to do so as Bastien is important to Frau. Mikhail unwillingly relents, resulting in Teito being beaten and Mikhail being forced to lie dormant. This, unbeknownst to Teito, allows the Wars to enter the Eye of Mikhail. Frau arrives a short while later and Mikhail watches as the Ghost defeats and kills Bastien. Frau approaches Mikhail and says that he would not mind dying by Mikhail's hands. Mikhail makes no reply and goes to sleep again, allowing Teito to resume control.
After the battle, Mikhail again awakens- but threatens to attack Hakuren for touching his master. Upon realising Hakuren is Teito's friend, he thanks Hakuren for his help during the fight with Bastien and goes to sleep.
Infiltration by the Black Hawks.
After Frau weakens the Wars that had possessed Teito, Mikhail wakes. Frau warns him that the Wars is still in his Eye but Mikhail ignores him. He senses Ayanami on board the Ribidzile and threatens to kill him, but is unable to defend the Hawkzile from Hyuuga's attack.
As he falls, he attempts to open his wings to fly to safety, but is prevented from doing so by the Wars. Haruse and Kuroyuri then pursue the falling Mikhail. Mikhail prepares to attack Kuroyuri but Haruse pushes his superior out of the way and restrains Mikhail using the Wars.
Mikhail bids a final goodbye to his master and Haruse successfully separates the Eye from Teito, losing his soul in the process. The resulting explosion destroys a large portion of the ground below.
Part two of the Bishop's apprentice exam.
Mikahil appears during the exam when Teito Klein realises Ayanami is actually a manifestation of his own darkness. 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 Teito through his troubled childhood. 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 then passes the exam.
Eye of Mikhail.
Three members of the Barsburg Armed Forces, Ogi, Shiroki and Nabiki, try to obtain the Eye of Mikhail, but all of them die in the attempt. Later in the series, the Eye and Teito are experimented on. Mikhail resists at first, blowing up a laboratory and inflicting minor injuries on a team of Barsburg scientists, but is soon subdued by Ayanami. However, a confrontation with Frau at Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg's Groom Choosing ball helps Mikhail to overcome the brainwashing, and he reunites with his fellow archangel, Raphael. Soon afterwards, the Eye of Mikhail is revealed to have been damaged by Raphael when the latter was still brainwashed, but recovers after Verloren's departure. It is last seen being held in Mikage's mouth.

fandom.07ghost | # Military Ranks
Barsburg Imperial Army insignia and uniform.
To some extent, the uniform an officer wears reveals the rank the officer holds.
All uniforms include the insignia of the Barsburg empire in some form but the higher the rank the larger the badge and the more elaborate the uniform. There are no standard weapons to go with the uniform, and soldiers are able to wield whatever type of sword they are most comfortable with regardless of rank.
Cadet Uniform.
The Barsburg Military cadet uniform, consists of a black, or dark blue, thigh-length tunic with long sleeves and a neck guard. Black trousers and knee-length back boots are worn with white gloves.
The uniform has golden trimming on the shoulders, chest, sleeve cuffs and neck guard and also a gold belt. Golden shoulder boards decorate the right shoulder and a small version of the Barsburg Military insignia is on the left shoulder.
Officer Uniform.
The standard uniform consists of a black, or dark blue, ankle-length overcoat with golden trimmings on the chest, sleeve cuffs and neck guard. A small half mantle emblazoned with the Barsburg military insignia hangs off the left shoulder, and a golden shoulder board on the right shoulder. A plain white shirt is worn undercoat. The trousers is knee-length and black/navy. They also wear buckled boots and white gloves.
A black/navy blue peaked-cap, with the Barsburg Military Insignia in the center, is optional (as it have been shown in the anime and the manga that some soldiers wear it while some soldiers do not).
Senior Officer Uniform.
For officers who are of a higher rank, i.e. the Field Marshal and the Chief of Staff, the uniform looks almost identical to the standard uniform save for a golden epaulette over the right shoulder, as well as golden embroidery on the chest. Their peaked-cap is trimmed with more gold in the crown and the visor (the embroidery somehow looks like the shape of a Chinese dragon or wings of a phoenix).
Barsburg Imperial Army ranks.
Cadet.
A cadet is someone who has not yet officially entered the military.
Cadet Begleiter.
Upon entering the armed forces (by passing the final exam) a person is enlisted as a cadet begleiter. This is lowest post in the armed forces. Induction courses for begleiters begin 2 days after graduation.
Becoming a cadet begleiter acts a form of work experience/internship in the military, where they act as temporary begleiters for a superior officer (usually at commander level, but there are exceptions)- learning the skills needed to be a begleiter and becoming familiar with military life. According to the pilot chapter Begleiter, if the superior is dissatisfied with the cadet's performance during this apprenticeship period, the cadet Begleiter needs to take the graduation exam again. If they complete their internship to a good standard they then become begleiters, either for the officer they had been working under or any other officer who accepts them.
It's possible for a new graduate of the military academy to skip becoming a cadet begleiter and be promoted directly to Begleiter if their skills and grades are high enough. This is the case for Teito Klein, who graduated from the military academy at the top of his class, and was promoted directly to a position as Ayanami's Begleiter.
Duties.
As a result of the lack of experience, cadet begleiters are excused from combat situations.
Begleiter.
After a cadet completes his/her internship, he/she can become a begleiter (ベグライター beguraita) to an officer who accepts him/her.
Begleiters are not necessarily new recruits. They can be high-ranking officers, as seen in the case of Katsuragi, who is a colonel but was also Ayanami's begleiter.
In the 07-Ghost series, a begleiter assists and takes care of his/her direct superior, hence the function is similar to that of an adjutant in the military.
Duties.
Their day to day duties mainly revolve around lightening the workload of their superior officer.
Major.
Major is a rank of a commissioned officer. It is considered the most junior of the field ranks. In reality, a major is able to command a squadron (less than 1500 soldiers).
Lieutenant colonel.
Lieutenant colonel is a rank of commissioned officer in the army, typically ranking above a major and below a colonel. A lieutenant colonel is typically in charge of a battalion in the army.
Colonel.
Colonel is the most senior military rank of a commissioned officer. It is the highest field rank, just below the general ranks. A colonel is typically in charge of a regiment (1500 - 3000 soldiers).
Major-general.
Major-general is a commissioned officer rank in the army. In some countries, it is the lowest of the general ranks (whereas in other countries, the lowest general rank is brigadier-general). A major-general normally commands a division, a military unit consisting of 10,000 - 30,000 soldiers. The major-generals have some control over what is done with the Eyes, along with the army's Chief of Staff. However, the field marshal has the final say.
Chief of Staff.
A rank held by the most senior officer. The Chief of staff has some control over what is done with the Eyes, along with the army's major generals. However, the field marshal has the final say.
Field Marshal.
The field marshal is the highest authority in the Barsburg Army. He/she decides the fate of the Eye of Raphael and the Eye of Mikhail.
It appears in 07-Ghost, when a field marshal of the Barsburg Army dies, a high-ranking officer from the First Fleet will be the first candidate for promotion to field-marshal, then an officer from the Second Fleet, and then the Third. When these candidates are unavailable, the Chief of Staff of the First Fleet will be promoted to the post of the field marshal.
It is possible that years of experience count (perhaps more so than ability) in deciding who will take over the post, as the generals which were killed by the reincarnation of Verloren were the officers who had much more years of experience in the military than Ayanami.
In Barsburg, it appears that the field marshal is directly in charge of the First Fleet, consisting of a group of high-ranking officers who are the commanders of divisions, corps and armies. In light of army hierarchy in the real world, a "Fleet" in the 07-Ghost universe should mean an army (80,000 - 200,000 soldiers), an army group (more than 160,000 soldiers) or an army region (1 million to 3 million soldiers), which are military units usually commanded by a field marshal.
The Barsburg Army has at least three fleets; the total number of fleets is yet unknown. From the meetings Marshal Wakaba Oak had had with other generals, it is shown that there are about or at least 20 generals sitting around the long table. Assuming one major-general commands a division (10,000 - 15,000 men), the First Fleet should include at least 200,000 soldiers.
Duties.
The field marshal commands the First Fleet and Barsburg's army, has meetings with the Emperor, generals, researchers, politicians and others (e.g. large projects' investors, munition dealers, etc. Manga chapter 75), decides military policy and the use of the Eyes so long as the Empress or the Emperor approves or agrees (e.g. start a war with Raggs).
Chairman.
The chairman acts as a mentor or advisor to the Chief of Staff and the field-marshal.

fandom.07ghost | # Military raid on the Barsburg Church
The Military raid on the Barsburg Church was an attack instigated by the Barsburg Armed Forces in response to the discovery of the Eye of Mikhail within the Barsburg Church. Its sole purpose was to find and kill the vessel for the Eye of Mikhail to prevent the revival of the Raggs Kingdom, which would threaten the Barsburg Empire's hold on the seven Districts.
It followed the infiltration: a highly clandestine operation, which was carried out by Warsfeil group, The Black Hawks. Due to the first attack being unknown to the military, they were not aware the Eye had already been taken when they invaded.
The raid is different in the anime than in the manga, with the Black Hawks being the primary combatants in the anime- but not appearing in the manga version. The outcome of the attack is the same, and the military leaves empty-handed as the vessel (Teito Klein) had escaped the Church.
Background.
Decision to send the Black Hawks to Antwort.
Leader of the Black Hawks and military strategist, Ayanami, meets with other high-ranking officers about the Antwort War. He disagrees with the generals' war tactics, which offends them, and they suggest he personally see to the matter.
The generals decide to send the Black Hawks to Antwort with an army of 1000 soldiers. To spite them, Ayanami agrees, and remarks that he will only need 500 men.
Creation of the Eye of God.
Haruse and Kuroyuri pursue a falling Mikhail, and Mikhail prepares to attack Kuroyuri. This angers Haruse, and he (Haruse) pushes Kuroyuri out of the way and restrains Mikhail using his Wars.
Ayanami demands Haruse switch places with him but Haruse refuses, knowing he is being sapped of power by Labrador's flowers. Kuroyuri orders Haruse to retreat, but Haruse uses his remaining power to force more Wars into the Eye of Mikhail- which forces Mikhail absorb more darkness and eventually leave Teito's body (successfully separating the Eye from Teito) to protect his vessel's soul from being eaten by the darkness.
The resulting explosion, from Mikhail releasing Lv. 40 as he leaves, destroys a large portion of the ground below and leaves Haruse without a soul. It creates the Eye of God.
Capture of the Eye.
The, now separated, Eye of Mikhail and Teito Klein fall from the Hawkzile destroyed during the explosion.
Bishop Frau gives chase and is soon confronted by another Black Hawk, Hyuuga, who is also chasing the Eye. Hyuuga begins to mocks him and laughs that "Aya-tan will take everything precious away from you". Frau is angered by his comments and attacks Hyuuga with his scythe, which Hyuuga blocks and a fight begins- with Hyuuga using his sword against Frau's scythe.
As Teito and the Eye of Mikhail fall from the sky, and Frau and Hyuuga continue to fight, it becomes apparent that Frau cannot catch both of them. Frau then chooses to grab Teito Klein, allowing Hyuuga to claim the Eye of Mikhail for the Black Hawks and escape, where he delivers it to Ayanami on board the Ribidzile.
Retreat of the Black Hawks.
Once the Eye has been taken, Labrador appears and reminds Ayanami that military aircraft are prevented from entering the 7th District. Ayanami replies that they travel to Antwort and are unable to go through any other route because of strong wind currents from the North. He then asks to pass through District 7, and Labrador relays his message to The Pope. The Pope allows the ships passage, and shows them the shortest route through the District.
History leading up to conflict.
The very public removal of the Eye of Mikhail caused the Barsburg Armed Forces to release a (false) statement that the blast was caused by the Eye of Raphael malfunctioning- to quash any hope former citizens of Raggs had of the Eye of Mikhail's return.
Field Marshal Wakaba Oak held a meeting with other high-ranking officers concerning photographic evidence of the Eye of God, proving that the Eye of Mikhail resides somewhere within the Church. Wakaba feared that the emergence of someone who is able to use the Eye poses a possibility of reviving the Raggs Kingdom, and the arrival of a new Prince of Raggs could also trigger a revolt from the Seven Houses of God. This would threaten the Empire's hold of the seven Districts.
Wakaba gives orders for the vessel of the Eye to be immediately found and eliminated.
The conflict.
The second part of the infiltration takes during the second part of the Bishop's Apprentice Exam.
Manga synopsis.
A squadron of soldiers from the Barsburg Armed Forces (not the Black Hawks) invade and investigate the Barsburg Church in order to find the wielder of the Eye of Mikhail, who is believed to reside in the Church, following the previous day's incident.
They meet resistance from the Bishops of the Church, who kill the guards- executing the spy that alerted them- and hide Teito Klein, the vessel, allowing him to escape through a secret tunnel with Frau. Several soldiers riding Hawkziles pursue Teito and Frau as they flee through the back alleys of District 7, but they are soon left behind.
After the battle, all military personnel present within the Church leave after finding no evidence of the wielder, because Teito and Frau have escaped.
Anime synopsis.
The Black Hawks are again sent to the Barsburg Church- this time to capture Teito Klein, the host of the Eye of Mikhail, since the Eyes are useless without their hosts.
Ayanami uses his black magic to warp Teito into the beginning and himself to the place. He confronts Teito and the latter attacks him out of rage, however despite his repeated attacks Teito is no match for Ayanami and is easily beaten. As Ayanami attempts to read Teito's memory, it is revealed that one of the Seven Ghosts, Vertrag, has blocked them off and that anyone who tries to touch this part of Teito's memory will be harmed. Meanwhile Castorand Labrador are confronted by Hyuuga, along with his Begleiter Konatsu, and Frau and Hakuren Oak are attacked by Kuroyuriwho seeks revenge for Haruse's injury.
The fight is interrupted by Teito who warps the Black Hawks and the Bishops to Pandora's Box, whereupon Ayanami instructs the Black Hawks to retreat empty-handed.

fandom.07ghost | # Millea's Father
Millea's Father is the father of Millea Klein and thus the maternal grandfather of Teito Klein.
History.
He was born into the royal family of Barsburg Empire. He then married, or at least had relations with, an unnamed woman who gave birth to their daughter Millea. He has never appeared in either the anime or the manga, and seems to be entirely uninvolved in his grandson's life.
| Millea's Father |
fandom.07ghost | # Millea's Mother
Millea's Mother is the mother of Millea Klein and thus Teito Klein's maternal grandmother.
History.
She was the concubine of Millea's father, which resulted in their daughter not being recognised legally and socially. Interestingly, Millea herself later became a concubine, though it's unknown if her mother had any influence on this particular decision of hers.
| Millea's Mother |
fandom.07ghost | # Millea Klein
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Millea Klein is a minor protagonist and one of the few recurring female characters in the 07-Ghost series. Born the daughter of an unknown male member of the Barsburg royal family and his concubine, she later became King Weldeschtein Krom Raggs's concubine and had a son, Teito Klein. Wolfram Eifeler Barsburg, her childhood friend who had harboured unrequited love for her for many years, was overcome with jealousy and, through Landkarte's manipulation, started the Raggs War and brought her back to Barsburg. Years after the war, she was reunited with Teito.
At the end of the manga, she has another son, Wahrheit Teito Klein, who is implied to be Teito's reincarnation.
Etymology.
In Israeli, 'millea' means 'she is for me'. In French and English, 'milieu' (shares the same pronunciation as 'ミレイア') means one's social environment, origin.
'Klein' means 'small' in German and Dutch, and is an actual German surname.
Appearance.
Millea is tall, fair-haired and slim. She has noticeably long and slender fingers, a pointy chin, a small nose, and large eyes. Her eye colour is unknown, but it is possible that her eyes are green, like Teito's.
According to Emperor Wolfram, she is the most beautiful member of the Barsburg family.
Personality.
Millea has been shown to be a kind, compassionate and respectful individual. She is apparently patient with and fond of children, as she taught children at an orphanage before she became King Krom's concubine. She is also honest and direct, firmly telling Emperor Wolfram that she did not return his feelings.
History.
Early childhood.
Millea was born a member of the Barsburg royalty. Her mother was her father's concubine, thus, Millea was not legally and socially recognized by the Barsburg royalty, despite being a blood descendant. Very little is known about both of Millea's parents, and it is unknown if she has any siblings.
It is implied that Millea first met Wolfram when she was a child.
Manga synopsis.
Pre Raggs War.
At some point in her life, she left her Barsburg home to teach children in an orphanage. Manga chapter 86 shows that she declined Wolfram Eifeler Barsburg's affections despite the fact it would bring her respect.
She first met Krom Raggs by a river, when he was disguised as a painter. They fell in love but were not allowed to marry due to her commoner status. A political marriage was arranged between Krom and Vanessa Antwort, and Millea became Krom's concubine. She gave birth to Teito a year after her unofficial marriage to Krom, and Teito was considered the heir to the throne of Raggs, because Krom had not had any children with Vanessa.
When Teito was 3 or 4 years old, she fell seriously ill. The young Tiashe and King Krom would spend the mornings talking to her, the king telling his son that holding his mother's hand would let her know what he feels. Tiashe would tell Millea about the sky outside, that it is blue and would stay blue everyday.
After Raggs War.
In manga chapter 87, it is revealed that her incurable "illness" was in fact a result of the Shadow Man's poisoning her. The Shadow Man gave Wolfram the antidote, but Wolfram had not used it because he feared that Millea would not forgive him when she knew what he had done to Raggs and that he was satisfied as long as he could be with Millea, even if she was in a coma all the time.
Wolfram eventually led Teito to Millea and gave him the antidote, and Millea woke up and talked to Teito. It seems that she has recovered, though not completely, as she is still bedridden and her speech is halting, as though it costs her a great deal of energy to speak. She was presumably taken care of by Wolfram after they, Teito, and Karu evacuated the laboratory they were in, in manga chapter 90.
Second son.
In manga chapter 99, Millea is revealed to have had another child. Her second son goes on to become the Pope and leader of the Church in his adult years.
Relationships.
Family.
Weldeschtein Krom Raggs.
Millea and Krom had a close and loving 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 because of her commoner status, they were not allowed to marry. However, Millea didn't care and decided to become the King's concubine, just so she could stay by his side. When Millea fell ill, Krom often visited her with their son, Teito.
Ten years later, Millea is shown to keep Krom in her thoughts, saying that Teito is the spitting image of his father, and she also saw him in a long dream she had while still comatose. Strangely, despite their close personal relationship, Millea called Krom 'Krom-sama', and continues to refer to him as such.
Fea Kreuz.
With reference to manga chapter 86, Kreuz was once shown discussing Krom's and Millea's relationship with Agas, saying that while he (Kreuz) was happy to see Krom so in love with Millea, he could not be happy for Krom, expressing concerns that Krom's relationship with Millea might leave a stain on the country's future and cause Krom to fall into a predicament. Apart from that, it is unclear if they grew closer during the years Millea lived in Raggs Castle.
At first, Kreuz referred to her as 'that young woman', but during the Raggs War, Kreuz referred to her as 'Millea-sama', suggesting that his respect for her had increased over time.
In the final manga chapter, twelve years after the Raggs War, Millea and Kreuz have a picnic together, and are clearly comfortable around each other.
Teito Klein.
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.
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 gives birth to Teito's reincarnation at the end of the series, bringing him back into the human world.
Wolfram Eifeler Barsburg.
For many years, Emperor Wolfram harboured unrequited feelings for Millea. He confessed his feelings to her and offered to make her his lover, telling her that she would not have to suffer if she was by his side. However, she politely but firmly declined his offer. Despite her not returning his affections, they remained friends, with him paying visits to her at the orphanage she was teaching in.
Wolfram originally wanted to send her congratulatory flowers after hearing that she had had a son, despite being deeply saddened, but the Shadow Man influenced him into starting the Raggs War so that Millea would be brought to his (Wolfram's) side. Wolfram is taking care of Millea at present, overseeing her medical treatment.
Millea and Wolfram are implied to have known each other since childhood.
Vanessa Antwort.
Millea has not been shown directly interacting with Vanessa so far, but it is known that Vanessa hated and envied Millea for having Weldeschtein's love, and looked down on Millea for her commoner status. It is unknown how Millea felt towards Vanessa. In a long dream that Millea had, in which people from Raggs whom she once knew, and had passed on, 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.
Dalia Barsburg.
Since Dalia was also a blood descendant of the Barsburg Family, it is possible that she and Millea knew each other, although they have not been shown directly interacting so far. Millea appeared to be respectful towards her, as she referred to Dalia as 'Her Majesty the Empress' in Kapitel 86. It is probable that Dalia was unaware of Wolfram's feelings for Millea, or if she was aware, she did not voice it.
Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg.
Ouka is respectful towards Millea, referring to her as 'Millea-san'. More recently, Ouka found out that Wolfram is in love with Millea. As both Ouka and Millea are blood Barsburgs, they are related by blood.
Karu.
Karu appears to care somewhat for Millea, as he instructed Emperor Wolfram to look after her when Wolfram wanted to stay with Ouka, in manga chapter 90. They are both blood Barsburgs and therefore relatives.
Others.
Agas, Mark and Karan: Little is known about Millea's relationship with Krom's bodyguards, but she seemed to get along fairly well with all three of them. In a long dream she had of people from Raggs whom she once knew and had passed on, they were seen. She was apparently familiar with and respectful towards them, referring to them as 'Agas-san', 'Mark-san' and 'Karan-san'. They apparently were also respectful towards her, addressing her as 'Millea-sama' in her dream. Agas once talked to Fea Kreuz about Krom's relationship with Millea.
Abilities and Attributes.
Millea seems to have a supernatural ability to learn truths about, and communicate with, her deceased loved ones through dreams, as shown when she interacted with her husband Krom, Agas, Mark and Karan in a dream, and learned that they had died. Her dreams can also cause certain events in reality, as shown when she gave birth to Teito again after dreaming about him.

| Miroku |
fandom.07ghost | # Miroku Barsburg
Miroku Barsburg is an antagonist in the 07-Ghost anime and manga series. He is a member of the Barsburg Family, making him a relative of princess Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg (OR-0007) and Teito Klein, though exactly how he is related to Ouka and Teito is as yet unknown.
Following his retirement from the position of field-marshal of the Barsburg Armed Forces, Miroku now acts as Chairman and may also be in control of the Black Hawks, as they appear to follow his orders. Miroku has been revealed to be a key figure in Teito's past, being the one who adopted him and raised him as a slave, and knew from the beginning of Teito's hidden royal background and role as host of the Eye of Mikhail.
Etymology.
弥勒菩薩 (Miroku Bosatsu) is the Japanese name of 'Maitreya', a figure foretold as a future Buddha of this world in Buddhist eschatology. 'Roku' can mean 'six'.
Bars is a German word that has the same meaning in English. Burg is German for castle.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Miroku is an elderly man who has not reached 70. His age is presumably between 50 and 70. Miroku stands at 5 foot 10 inches (though was several inches taller in his youth) and weighs 75kg, and his build is rather bulky with large, broad shoulders. He has a square face with strong features, a long and rather large pointed nose, large ears, and a heavy jaw. His face is aged, with marionette lines around his mouth and wrinkles around his eyes and on his forehead.
Miroku has pale skin, like many characters of royal blood in the series. He has red eyes under a pair of large, white eyebrows and a small white moustache above his lip. His hair is cropped short, pale grey in colour and slicked back over his head with a few loose strands falling over his forehead at either side. When he was younger, his hair was a dull blonde.
Clothing.
Miroku wears a black cloak with a large, open neck-guard and a red scarf wrapped round his neck. His cloak is fastened with a large, rectangular shaped golden brooch. It is unknown if he wears the standard military uniform under this cloak like many other officers do.
For Wakaba Oak's funeral, Miroku wore more decorated, formal clothes.
Personality.
Miroku appears to be a rather mild-mannered person. He is always quiet, calm and does not lose his temper even when those around him have. He is polite and courteous when addressing others, even those of a lower rank than him, and does not raise his voice when irritated. In meetings, Miroku always acted as the voice of reason towards the other soldiers, and sought to calm the more excitable generals.
Throughout the series, Miroku has remained focused on his goals, and is unwilling to let personal differences interfere or distract him. It appears that he carefully considers everything before he acts or speaks. Similar to his begleiter Karu, he is good at hiding his emotions.
Unlike many of the other officers, Miroku does not openly mock those around him, and keeps his opinions of people to himself. However, Miroku is marked by a distinctly suspicious disposition, and has been shown to be acting separately from the military, having his own agenda. Despite not openly expressing opinions of others, he has clearly formed them, and he is distrusting of the other high-ranking military figures. He has also been shown to act in his own interests. This causes him to keep information to himself, and he is guilty of not properly informing other officers. Miroku puts his personal gain before the rules and regulations of the Military, and Ayanami says Miroku will be court-martialed if the Military finds out he was withholding information.
Miroku can also be considered disloyal and quick to change allegiances, as although he initially liked and had a good relationship with Ayanami, he soon changed his mind and decided to kill Ayanami.
Relationships.
Peers.
Wakaba Oak.
Miroku appears to have had a stable relationship with the field-marshal. 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 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, Miroku dined with him, suggesting they had a good relationship.
While Miroku did not appear overly concerned with Wakaba's death, he did investigate the circumstances surrounding it. Miroku also appears to be familiar with Wakaba's character, as he did not believe Wakaba would drink heavily enough to die from intoxication.
Subordinates.
Miroku is polite and courteous to those of a lower rank than himself.
Ayanami.
Miroku was shown with Ayanami during the Raggs War, suggesting that he has been Ayanami's superior for at least 10 years. The two of them share a common goal, and Miroku initially entrusts Ayanami with several highly clandestine missions.
At the beginning of the series, Chaiman Miroku appears to like Ayanami, or at least think him a capable officer and that it will be a waste if he is removed from the army. This is shown when he defends Ayanami in meetings when other officers blame Ayanami for troubles, such as Teito's escape, and protects Ayanami's position in the army.
Due to their shared ambitions, Miroku also puts a certain level of trust in Ayanami, and he gave Ayanami the job of herding Teito Klein, revealing some confidential information, such as Teito's royal blood, to Ayanami only. As they both operate outside military regulations, there is a mutual comradeship between the two; where both parties are aware the other is breaking rules- yet do not inform higher authorities and have them arrested, or use it against them. However, Miroku's trust in Ayanami is limited, and while sharing certain facts with Ayanami, he still neglects to inform him of the details.
Following the death of Wakaba Oak, Miroku's opinion of Ayanami begins to change. Miroku had been confident in Ayanami's abilities and had encouraged him, but over the course of the series, Miroku became more concerned with Ayanami's power and actions. Miroku suspects Ayanami to be involved with the field-marshal's death, and he begins to see Ayanami as a danger instead of an asset, and fears Ayanami will soon turn on him. Together with Karu, his begleiter, they plot Ayanami's execution. However, as of manga chapter 98, Ayanami has died, and it remains unknown if he truly intended to turn on Miroku.
The Black Hawks.
Miroku may be in charge of the Black Hawks. Miroku's begleiter, Karu, was once shown following Katsuragi, one of the Black Hawks, though whether Karu did this for his own reasons, or was acting on Miroku's orders, is as yet unknown.
Karu.
Karu has been Miroku's Begleiter for more than ten years and it seems that Miroku trusts Karu, for he orders Karu to accompany Teito (the important host of the Eye of Mikhail) everywhere he goes. Miroku also seems to respect Karu's opinion, as he asked Karu what he (Karu) thought about Wakaba Oak's death (manga chapter 75).
However, considering that Karu was actually the last reincarnation of Ea and thus an ally of Teito's, it is possible that Karu was not truly loyal to him. It is worth noting that, both being members of the Barsburg Family, Miroku and Karu are related by blood, although it is probable that Miroku does not know that Karu was also a Barsburg.
Miroku's reaction to Karu's death was not shown.
Kurena.
Miroku has not been shown interacting with Kurena so far. He appears to be indifferent towards her or uninterested in her activities, as he leaves Karu in charge of her and does not supervise her himself.
Others.
Teito Klein.
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.
Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg.
Both being members of the Barsburg family, Miroku and Ouka are related by blood. Miroku has been shown carrying Ouka during the Raggs War, in a flashback in the manga (not shown in the anime).
History.
Early childhood.
Not much is known about Miroku's early years. He was born into an unknown branch of the Barsburg family, making him a blood relative of the current Barsburg Empress-to-be Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg and his adopted son Teito Klein.
Raggs War.
It's revealed in the anime that he used to be the army's field-marshal. He appeared to have played an important part in the Raggs War, possibly being one of the higher-ups who led the attack.
Post-Raggs War.
Sometime after the war with Raggs ended, Teito Klein was taken into the care of Miroku as his personal battle 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, something unknown to both of them at the time.
Miroku was undeterred by this, and when Ayanami proposed Teito be killed before he reaches adulthood, as he "will someday become a menace" to the Barsburg Empire, Miroku disagreed. He believed Kreuz's pass was connected to the location of Pandora's Box. Miroku expresses concern at the "decayed upper command", and he and Ayanami plotted to recover Pandora's Box and return it to the Barsburg Church in order to bolster the military's reputation.
He also employed Kurena as a maid who took care of Teito, but whether she was employed before or after he took Teito in is unknown.
Manga Synopsis.
A meeting about the Eye.
After Teito's escape, he is first seen in a meeting with the other officers of the Imperial Army, concerning the escape of the host for the Eye of Mikhail. As admirals Ogi, Nabiki, and Shiroki attack Ayanami for visiting the Academy, Miroku defends him. He reveals he had intended to make Teito Ayanami's begleiter, and says to Ayanami that he needs to discuss something important with him later.
He later appears in a hallway where he finds Ayanami and asks him how the plans are going, and Ayanami promises he will retrieve Teito Klein.
Ayanami's return.
Miroku is seen in a meeting when Ayanami returns from Antwort with news that the country is now under Barsburg's control. He watches as Wakaba Oak congratulates Ayanami on his victory, and defends Ayanami when admiral Ogi attacks Ayanami for breaking the charter. 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.
Miroku speaks with Ayanami in private, showing faith in Ayanami's ability to awaken Teito's lost memories, and Ayanami asks Miroku why he gave him Fea Kreuz's Clergy Pass. Miroku replies that he thought Kreuz had hidden something in the pass that would awaken Teito, but is disappointed to see it didn't work. Miroku compliments Ayanami's ability in getting the Eye off Teito, something which makes Ayanami smile.

Clothing.
He was seen wearing a white robe, with a light blue hood and a blue armband with Zaiphon writing on it. As he is a criminal, he wears criminal cuffs.
Personality.
He appears to be a fearful and meek man, as when Frau questions him he is very submissive and wary around him. He can also be considered contrite and remorseful, as he commented that the Church is the only place that welcomes murderers like him.
History.
All that is known about the Mortician is that he was a murderer who had fled to the Barsburg Church in order to seek sanctuary.
Manga synopsis.
Aldo's death.
Following Aldo's death, Frau travels to the catacombs to question the mortician on why he never reported Aldo's body as missing. There the mortician confesses he forgot to report it due to no one wanting to claim the body of a criminal.
He then tells Frau that the other two morticians had fled the Church fearing death themselves, which he condemns as foolish as the Church is the only place willing to accept a murderer. The mortician has not been seen again since, and his current status is unknown. He may have resumed his duties as a mortician after Frau finished questioning him.

fandom.07ghost | # Mountain Road
The Mountain Road is a long road that runs through the mountains at the borders of District 6. It provides a shortcut through the District but is fraught with many perils, being the natural habitat of many large and dangerous creatures, such as bears, which is the reason it is said to be inhabited by monsters. Because of its reputation, it is easy to go through without the risk of being followed. The road takes roughly a day to cross.
Description.
The mountain road is a long, uneven, rocky stretch of land around the border of District 6, weaving in and out of the mountains there, hence its name. Surrounding the road are coniferous forests with pine trees, where the earth is quite soft, that thin out towards the peaks of the mountains, where the ground is much more rocky and unstable. The mountains have many caves and other gaps between the rock, which provide homes for many mountain dwelling creatures, mainly bears.

fandom.07ghost | # Nabiki
Nabiki is a minor character from the 07-Ghost series. He holds the position of major general (sometimes translated as rear admiral) of the third fleet and thus is a prominent member of the army. He often tries to cause trouble for Ayanami, the army's former Chief of Staff. Nabiki is often seen with fellow generals Shiroki and Ogi, but over the course of the series their friendship fell apart and he was later killed by Shiroki. Nabiki is distinguished from the other two generals by his dark brown hair.
Etymology.
In Japanese, the kunyomi (Japanese reading a Chinese character) of the kanji "靡", meaning flutter, wave, bow to, seduce, obey, is "nabiki".
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Nabiki is a small man, being the smallest of the three admirals in the manga (in the anime he is the second smallest; being taller than Shiroki) which puts him at an estimated height of five foot four, and his weight is unknown although he appears to have a large build. His face is round, and he has a large, upturned nose with sunken eyes and heavily wrinkled skin. His hair is brown, shoulder length, parted in the middle and wavy, and he has a thin mustache of the same colour. His eye colour is hard to see as in the anime he does not appear to possess irises.
Clothing.
Nabiki 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, Nabiki appears spiteful and crooked, being heavily motivated by jealousy, revenge, power and monetary gain. Nabiki 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. Although he had the same desire for the Eye of Mikhail as his two admiral peers, Nabiki was the most vocal, announcing that having the Eye of Mikhail would be akin to "having half the world".
Prone to muttering unflattering comments under his breath, he has also been shown to be quite personal: ready to mock or cause trouble for people whom he dislikes, such as when he chastised Ayanami for being 10 minutes late to a meeting and 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.
Out of the three admirals, Nabiki is the most cruel. He is the most verbally abusive towards Ayanami, and appears quite sadistic as he was shown smiling upon seeing a Warsfeil die during an experiment with the Eye of Mikhail. During these experiments, he rounded up a group of Warsfiel and appeared unconcered by their deaths, remarking "another failure" upon witnessing one such death, and even mocking them that they would be executed anyway.
While he is cruel, Nabiki is also implied to be not above loving and caring for others, as in his dying moments, he sees an image of an unknown woman, imagines her saying 'Wow, you're amazing!' and smiles as he takes his last breath, hinting that he loves her.
Relationships.
Superiors.
Wakaba Oak.
Nabiki sees him as an obstacle to the Eye of Mikhail, as he planned to have Marshal Oak killed, because according to the laws, the amy's marshal can decide how to use the Eyes.
As Wakaba seems to be younger than Nabiki but holds a higher position, it is possible that Nabiki does not like Wakaba for the same reason he dislikes Ayanami.
Miroku: Nabiki does not appear to have that much respect for Miroku. Although he accepts his judgement, he does so grudgingly, and openly questions his actions such as his decision to send Ayanami to the Academy.
Ayanami.
Nabiki has a very low opinion of Ayanami, speaking very unkindly about him behind his back and mocking his family. Out of the three generals Nabiki is notably the most verbally abusive towards Ayanami, insultingly describing him as "merely a descendant of the lowest class of aristocrats" and using terms such as 'brat', 'impertinent youth' and 'intolerable youngster' to refer to him, which suggest that Nabiki's problem with Ayanami lies with the latter's young age, and it may be that Nabiki 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 Nabiki disliking Ayanami is that the latter is a Warsfeil, Nabiki being shown cruelly treating several Warsfeil and unconcerned with their deaths, 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. Nabiki'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.
Shiroki: Nabiki is often seen with Shiroki, sharing some sort of bond with their mutual hatreds, similar personalities, and same professions. It is unknown if Nabiki did think of Shiroki as a friend or just as a tool to get closer to his goal, but their companionship fell apart and he was later killed by Shiroki.
Ogi: Nabiki is often seen with Ogi, sharing some sort of bond with their mutual hatreds, similar personalities, and same professions. It is unknown if Nabiki did think of Ogi as a friend or just as a tool to get closer to his goal.
Family.
Before his death, Nabiki sees the image of an elderly woman, who may be his lover or his family member. As he falls, he smiles upon seeing her, which implies that he loves her.
History.
Childhood.
Nabiki mocks Ayanami for his family being discarded from the royal line, which suggests that he is from a family of nobles.
Pre-Raggs War.
Before his death, Nabiki sees the image of an elderly woman, who may be his lover or his family member.
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.
Nabiki 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, Nabiki looks annoyed.
After the meeting, Nabiki stands with his fellow generals, Ogi and Shiroki, and verbally abuses Ayanami as he walks past; insulting his family. 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. Nabiki harasses Ayanami, reprimanding him for being 10 minutes late and accusing him of having an agenda. He then becomes frightened when Ayanami says they (he and Hyuuga) were "investigating the source of the army's mysterious expenses".
A meeting about Antwort.
Nabiki next appears in a meeting with generals Ogi and Shiroki, and the strategist Ayanami, about the war with Antwort. When Ayanami disagrees with their battle tactics, he is annoyed and offended and suggests Ayanami deal with it personally. When Ayanami says he will only need 500 men, Nabiki is alarmed, but also pleased that Ayanami would be leaving Hohburg.
Discovery of the Eye of Mikhail.
Nabiki appears in another meeting concerning Ayanami's loss of two imperial fleet ships. Nabiki, along with the other two generals, is appalled at the damage and 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 annoyed 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.
Nabiki is later shown using Warsfeil in experiments for the Eye of Mikhail, which results in the deaths of a few of them, as he comments: "another failure". He appears largely unmoved by their deaths, instead grinning sadistically as he witnesses such a death.
Nabiki 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. His death is later falsely claimed to be suicide.

Etymology.

Relationships.
Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg (OR-0007): Nanase claimed to have loved Ouka 'since she was a cell', but made her undergo brainwashing experiments and tried to kill her when she stopped obeying him. Ouka declared that she refused to continue being his puppet and killed him while possessed by the Eye of Raphael. She then ended the Raphael Project by destroying the other clones.
Raphael: Raphael apparently hates Nanase for what he did to Ouka, saying 'The punishment is far too lax for toying with my master.' after killing him, and lamenting that Nanase died before the archangel could tear him limb from limb.
Mikhail: Like Raphael, Mikhail hates Nanase for what he did to his (Mikhail's) master, Teito, referring to Nanase as 'that scum', and saying that he wanted to make Nanase 'taste living hell' for toying with Teito.
History.
Early childhood.
Very little is known about Nanase's early years. He does not appear to be a royal or a noble, suggesting that he is from a working class or lower-class family.
Adulthood.
At some point in his adult life, Nanase began working as a researcher affiliated with the Barsburg Empire. He was apparently in league with Emperor Wolfram Eifeler Barsburg and Ayanami, aiding them in their plans to brainwash and manipulate the hosts of the Eye of Mikhail and the Eye of Raphael. However, he later betrayed the Emperor when the latter wanted to kill Ouka.
Death.
In chapter 85 of the manga, Nanase tried to strangle Ouka. However, Raphael defended Ouka and killed him.

fandom.07ghost | # Noel Mermaid
Noel Mermaids are a species of mermaid in the 07 Ghost series, and the only species of mermaid seen so far in the series. They have both aquatic and mammalian features, having fins and scales, but also fur. The species is mute (unable to speak) but able to sing, and are praised for having beautiful singing voices.
The species of mermaid is also extremely rare, with Hakuren noting that even with all their money, no one in the Oak family owns one.
Etymology.
Noel is the French word for Christmas.
Anatomy.
Noel mermaids greatly resemble humans in appearance, but being mermaids, have light blue fish-tails in place of legs, and long fins extending from their hips that are the same colour as their tails. Their more aquatic features include fins in place of ears and scaly skin, as well as webbed hands.Their appearance differs in the anime and manga; in the manga, their forearms and wrists are rather bulky with long fins on them whereas in the anime, they are shown to have more humanoid arms. If Razette's appearance is any indication, Noel mermaids tend to have long, straight pink hair.
It is heavily implied that the species are air-breathers, with Razette being able to survive for long periods of time out of water, and the fact that they do not appear to have gills. Strangely, when Razette is out of water, she has human-like legs and feet, suggesting noel mermaids are able to shapshift their bodies to some extent too. They also have mammalian features: tufts of white fur around their hips, as well as the same white fur on their chests and down their backs.
Razette has been said to be pretty by several characters, suggesting that Noel mermaids are generally considered attractive within the series universe.
Temperament.
Noel mermaids are docile, quiet creatures that tend to avoid humans whenever possible, which could be the reason for their rarity. The have also been shown to enjoy singing, and because they are mute it appears that the species communicates by song. However, due to their human-like nature, their personalities vary. They can become aggressive when they feel threatened, or when they feel that their loved ones are in danger.
Considering that Razette has never been seen eating, it is possible that Noel mermaids do not need to eat. Noel mermaids may also age more slowly than humans, as Razette's physical appearance has not changed at all since she first met Castor ten years ago. How long Noel mermaids can live is unknown.
It is likely that Noel mermaids are, or can survive and thrive as, solitary creatures. While Razette is friendly, she apparently does not mind being alone.
Noel mermaids' methods of reproduction are unknown, though considering that they have humanoid, aquatic and mammalian features, it is likely that they either give birth or lay eggs, or possibly both.
Ecology.
As demonstrated by Razette, noel mermaids are comfortable both in aquatic environments and on land, but prefer to dwell in aquatic environments.
Abilities and Attributes.
Noel mermaids are famous for having the ability to shapeshift, being able to warp their faces to resemble the faces of the people around them.
Intelligence: Noel Mermaid are a very intelligent species, and are capable of understanding human speech.

fandom.07ghost | # Oak Family
The Oak Family is a prestigious and wealthy noble family presently living in District 2. As of manga chapter 75, there are 96 members in the family. They are the descendants of Relikt, one of the Seven Ghosts. This means that some of them will be chosen as a vessel for Relikt and act as the said Ghost after they die as humans. When the vessel dies, Relikt will reincarnate in another vessel, as shown in the case of Lance, who was reincarnated as Relikt after the Raggs War Relikt was killed.
Like many noble families in Europe, it has senior branch (lineage of the descendants of the firstborn sons) and cadet branch (that of the younger sons). However, it is unknown whether an Oak's assets are distributed to his/her children equally or they are passed only to the firstborn child (primogeniture is quite common in European noble families).
Appearance.
Considering the Oaks who have appeared in the series so far, it is estimated that an Oak has fair skin (a recurring trait with the nobility in the series), fine, light-colored hair (light blond in the anime), which could be a play on qualities of the Aryan race. Their eye color is more commonly light. Darker colors seem less common (e.g. medium grey, Wakaba's brother) in the family.
Their faces can be considered seductive and look like a fox (especially when they smile). They also have long bottom eye-lashes. It appears that for some strange reason an Oak is recognizable by his physical features.
It appears that their movements can be quick and agile, as seen in Hakuren's performance (e.g. killing Kors that move quickly) during the Bishop's Apprentice Exam and Lance's battle with Katsuragi. All the Oaks who have appeared so far have slim limbs.
Personality.
Most of the Oak family have personalities similar to the personalities of many Barsburg family members, in the sense that they are more interested in or concerned about personal gain than caring for others, as shown when many Oaks were not aggrieved at Wakaba's death, even having the audacity to ask for things like favourable treatment for their son and securing a promotion for their husband at his funeral, and gossiping about the cause of his death. When Hakuren met Granne Barsburg, he mentioned being familiar with people like her.
Oaks may have a strong sense of family pride, as Hakuren took offence at Teito calling the Oak family 'spineless'.

Marriage.
It appears that because the Oaks are powerful and wealthy, many people are interested in marrying them (e.g. Hakuren has said that since he was a child his father has been giving him albums full of photos of girls who want to marry him. His father also told him that in order to succeed the Oak family as an adult, a male member must marry a good wife). This suggests that many of their marriages are to a certain degree arranged (since they choose one from a list).
In light of manga chapter 12, since it will damage the Oak Family's reputation if an Oak get divorced, it is likely that in order to protect the reputation of the Oak Family, an Oak must stay in marriage with their wife/husband even if they are unhappy, and that they should not have concubines like other noble families, especially for the Oaks who have chosen politicians as their career, since divorce and extra-marital affairs are scandalous for politicians.
Intermarriage.
Considering Hakuren's mother's appearance, she may have been a member of the Oak Family even before her marriage. Also, although Shuri's mother remained unseen throughout the series, considering that Shuri and Hakuren closely resemble each other, it is likely that their mothers also resemble each other. Thus, it is possible that Shuri's mother may also have been a member of the Oak family even before her marriage.
If it is true that Hakuren's and Shuri's mothers are from other branches of the Oak Family, this would indicate that the Oak Family accepts intermarrying within the family (possibly in the form of marriage between cousins), and would mean that the lineage of the Oak family is inbred to a certain extent. This could be because Oaks feel that there is a need to keep fortunes within the family. It could also be because they want to keep the bloodline pure or/and increase the chance of the offspring's being able to use Zaiphon (the ability to use Zaiphon is very important for the Oak Family, as many of them shall join the military, and it seems that Zaiphon can be inherited in some cases).
Similar to the Barsburg family, it is possible that the eccentricities found in many Oaks are caused by generations of inbreeding.
Wealth.
They are wealthy, especially the senior branch. They live in big houses and are served by about 400 residence servants. The area of their land is 300,000 tsubo (1 tsubo is approximately 3.3 square meters).
In recent years, they have monopolized the sales of the Kokujyuseki, a precious jewel, which has been further increasing their wealth (manga chapter 75). It is revealed in manga chapter 77 that the first kokujyuseki are in fact Raggs royalty's jewels, and because Marshal Wakaba Oak could not destroy those jewels like Raggs' literature, he asked a Warsfeil, named Buran, to use black magic to conceal these jewels, which is evidence of the Raggs Kingdom's existence. After the Raggs Royalty's jewels were sold out, Wakaba allowed Buran to use slaves to create new kokujyuseki, which allows the Oak Family's wealth to continue growing.
It is highly likely that the dark side of the kokujyuseki, i.e. the fact that they are made from living slaves and animals, is confidential between Wakaba and Buran, and other Oaks do not know where they can get the kokujyuseki or that in fact it is not mined (Buran has said that Lance was the only Oak that suspected the kokujyuseki's origin). So, it seems that Wakaba was the sole supplier of the kokujyuseki. It is uncertain if he gave some kokujyuseki to other Oaks for them to sell it or kept all the kokujyuseki for himself.
Influence.
As it is family tradition that an Oak must pursue a career in either the court or the military (anyone who does not is faced with disownment, e.g. anime episode 23), its members occupy significant positions in these areas and they have links to both the court and the military. Hakuren has said that the Oak family "sees no worth in a job that isn't politics or the military".
It appears that the Oak family is quite powerful, and it has been said that the Oaks "think they can own everything". This has been proven to be true as Marshal Wakaba Oak persuaded the examiners to allow his son, Shuri Oak, to graduate when Shuri would have failed the graduation exam otherwise, and Hakuren's father also used his connections to obtain the post of the empress-to-be's tutor for Hakuren.
Abilities and Attributes.
It is likely that quite a number of them are gifted with zaiphon (more commonly the attacking type), as students at the Barsburg Military Academy are people who can use zaiphon, and Lance and Hakuren have been shown to use the attacking type of zaiphon.

fandom.07ghost | # Oak House
The Oak House is one of the Seven Houses of God, and is the God House of Relikt. It is located in District 2 in the Barsburg Empire. It is Wakaba Oak's home, but it is uncertain if this house contains all the Oaks (96 members).
The house is gigantic (manga chapter 77, page 5), with long hall ways decorated with pictures on the wall (page 6 and 16). There are trees neatly cut and planted. There are towers (possibly for guards or for a better view of the scenery).
Even the butler's children have their own room (manga chapter 75 page 29).
There is an ancestral graveyard in the estate. As Wakaba Oak is buried there, it is likely that members of the Oak Family (or possibly just the members of the head family, considering that Wakaba comes from the head family) are buried there.
Servants who have been serving the family long enough may be considered as "family", as Karein Celestine, the former butler to Wakaba, is allowed to put his child (Mikage Celestine)'s grave there. (manga chapter 75)
Because it is family tradition that an Oak should become either a politician or a military officer, it seems that this House has the goals of prospering Barsburg as well as the Oak Family, a pillar of Barsburg's politics and military.
As the God House of the Ghost Relikt, it bears one of the seven Cursed Tickets. (manga chapter 77)

fandom.07ghost | # Ogi
Ogi is a minor antagonist from the 07-Ghost series. He holds the position of major general (sometimes translated as rear admiral) of the first fleet and thus is a prominent member of the army. He often tries to cause trouble for Ayanami, the army chief of staff. Ogi is often seen with generals Shiroki and Nabiki, but over the course of the series their friendship fell apart and he later framed Shiroki as plotting to kill Wakaba Oak and himself (which was probably true). Ogi placed 'Katsuragi' as a spy to Ayanami, but it was revealed in manga chapter 62 that 'Katsuragi' was in fact an impostor, and Ogi was killed by him.
Etymology.
In Japanese, the kanji "荻", meaning Amur silver grass, is pronounced as "ogi". Alternatively, "o" is an honorific prefix in Japanese, while "wood" or "tree" can be pronounced as "ki" or "gi".
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Ogi appears to be rather tall, being the tallest of the admirals. In manga chapter 62, he was about the same height as Katsuragi, so it is estimated that Ogi is at least 180 cm. His weight is unknown but his build is very lean, also being the thinnest of the admirals. His face is rather square in appearance in the manga (but appears much longer in the anime), with sunken eyes, a large nose with a straight bridge and protruding tip, and wrinkles that reflect his age. His eye colour remains undefined, and his hair color is dark in the manga. His skin is fairly dark in the anime but fair in the manga.
Clothing.
Ogi 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, Ogi appears spiteful and crooked and he has used some of the army's finance for his personal benefit, 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). 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.
He was heavily motivated by negative emotions like revenge and jealousy, and displayed a spiteful and very vindictive nature. He was shown to be very judgemental and angry at wrongdoings committed against him, and because a group of Warsfeil accidentally killed his unit he hated all Warsfeil, and was shown being cruel towards Warsfeil, as he rounded up Warsfeil to be used in experiments for the Eye of Mikahil, being more concerned with their control over the Eye than their deaths.
As he was in the intelligence unit, he appears to be well practised in deception, and he is good at faking other people's handwritings. He is very patient, as he has waited for more than ten years until the time to remove Ayanami is ripe. He displayed a manipulative side, and could be considered a good judge of character- and he knew Shiroki would kill Nabiki, and he used this to his advantage. For people whom he does not trust, he makes use of them, and removes them if they become obstacles to his plan or are no longer useful.
For people whom he hates, he is ready to mock or cause trouble for them. For example, when he heard that Ayanami had broken the charter and caused casualty, he suggested in the meeting that Ayanami be punished immediately.
Relationships.
Superiors.
Wakaba Oak.
Ogi sees Wakaba as an obstacle to the Eye of Mikhail, as according to the laws, the amy's marshal can decide how to use the Eyes. After Nabiki had been killed, and Shiroki framed, Ogi commented that the last higher-up left was Wakaba Oak.
Miroku: Ogi doesn't appear to have much respect for Miroku. Although he accepts his judgement, he does so grudgingly, and openly questions his actions such as his decision to send Ayanami to the Academy.
Ayanami.
Ogi harbours a murderous hatred of Ayanami, but despite this he is the least vocal of his opinions out of the three admirals. While the other two admirals speak very unkindly about Ayanami behind his back, Ogi remains more physical with his hatred, and rarely says anything of him. Ogi dislikes Ayanami because he is the leader of the Black Hawks, the Warsfeil unit that destroyed his fleet during the Raggs War.
He arguably has the most hatred towards Ayanami, and has gone to extreme measures to ensure that he is able to dispatch him, such as placing a spy under his command in order to get information of him. He seems to rejoice, seeing that Ayanami is 'on the verge of death' and wants to take the opportunity to frame Ayanami with the 'evidence' that Katsuragi provided (made up). He was willing to wait more than ten years for his plan to come into effect and was unwilling to forgive the Black Hawks.
Peers.
Nabiki: Ogi is often seen with Nabiki, sharing some sort of bond with their mutual hatred for Ayanami, similar personalities, and same professions. Ogi does not seem to think of Nabiki as a true friend, as he used his death to gain an advantage against Shiroki.
Shiroki.
Ogi is often seen with Shiroki, sharing some sort of bond with their mutual hatred for Ayanami, similar personalities, and same professions. Ogi did not think of Shiroki as a true friend, as he betrayed him and had him framed for a crime that could result in his execution. Ogi even mocks Shiroki at his trial, and later laughs about his suicide.
With his subordinates.
It is shown that he values his subordinates, as evidenced by his reaction upon witnessing his unit's demise: he knelt on the ground, cried and swore revenge; and even after a decade, he is still unwilling to forgive. When he found out that one of his subordinates survived, he was overjoyed. It was also before their graves that he swore revenge against Ayanami who was the leader of the Black Hawks. It is probably because he has a close emotional bond with them that he cannot bear betrayal by his own subordinate, as shown when he was outraged at the fake Katsuragi's betrayal.
The original Katsuragi: Ogi had taken Katsuragi into his care since Katsuragi was 15, suggesting that Katsuragi was Ogi's Begleiter, as a cadet does the Begleiter Exam around the age of 15. He trusts Katsuragi, as it seems that the possibility of Katsuragi's betraying him has never come to his mind.
History.
Childhood.
Ogi said that Ayanami belongs to the old noble class which he called "leftovers", which suggests that Ogi does not come from this group.
Pre-Raggs War.
Ogi founded an intelligence unit, primarily made up of spies, Katsuragi being one of them. It appears that this network of spies has been active for at least ten years, for when a subordinate of Ayanami stumbled across the true, dying Katsuragi, his military pass specified that he was a member of the intelligence unit.
Raggs War.
During the Raggs War, Ogi was the commander of a unit, the size unknown.
The Emperor of Barsburg enlisted the Black Hawks to assist them during the war. He and his unit were presumably following the fleeing Kreuz and Teito when the Black Hawks attacked the location. Ogi's unit was within their firing range, and they were caught in the crossfire. Ogi's entire fleet was killed, and he was the only one to have survived, which left Ogi devastated.
Post-Raggs War.
As Ogi visited the graves of his subordinates, 'Katsuragi' found him. Being reasured that at least one of his subordinates 'survived', Ogi and 'Katsuragi' swore to take revenge on Ayanami, the leader of the Black Hawks.
During the more than ten years period between the Raggs War and the present, Ogi worked his way up the ranks of the military to become major general (real admiral) of the First Fleet. At some point he assigned Katsuragi to gain Ayanami's trust so that he may spy on Ayanami.
Manga synopsis.
A meeting about the Eye.
Ogi 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, Ogi looks annoyed.
After the meeting Shiroki stands with his fellow generals, Shiroki and Nabiki, and the other two verbally abuse Ayanami as he walks past. 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.
Ogi next appears in a meeting with generals Nabiki and Shiroki, and the strategist Ayanami, about the war with Antwort. When Ayanami disagrees with their battle tactics, he is annoyed and offended and suggests Ayanami deal with it personally. When Ayanami says he will only need 500 men, Ogi is alarmed, but is pleased that Ayanami would be leaving Hohburg.
Discovery of the Eye of Mikhail.
Ogi appears in another meeting concerning Ayanami's loss of two imperial fleet ships. Ogi, 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.
Once the meeting has ended, Ogi speaks with Katsuragi who he had placed as a spy within the Black Hawks to watch Ayanami. Ogi is frustrated that Ayanami had neglected to take Katsuragi on the trip to Antwort, but together with Katsuragi plots an attack against the Chief of Staff.
Ayanami's return.
When Ayanami returns from Antwort, bringing news that the country is now under Barsburg's control, he is less than impressed. Ogi is appalled when Wakaba Oak praises Ayanami, and interrupts him to hound the Chief of Staff for breaking the charter. But before he can finish his attack, he is interrupted by chairman Miroku Barsburg, who also defends Ayanami.
Ogi expresses extreme shock when Ayanami presents Wakaba with the Eye of Mikhail.
In the manga, Ogi is later shown using Warsfeils in experiments for the Eye of Mikhail, which results in the deaths of a few of them, as Nabiki comments: "another failure".
Ogi is later established as a serious threat as his lust for the Eye of Mikhail drives him to eliminate the higher- ups around him in order to have the Eye to himself. He fakes a suicide note purportedly written by Nabiki, and used it to frame Shiroki for participation in a plot to remove Ogi and Marshal Oak. Ogi is later seen plotting to remove Ayanami from the army, when Katsuragi enters and comments that Ogi is the one who needs to be killed, prompting Ogi to fly into a fit of rage. The fake Katsuragi then kills Ogi, and reveals that he surgically changed his own face to resemble the real Katsuragi and has pretended to be him (the real Katsuragi) for more than 10 years, waiting for an appropriate time to remove Ogi.

fandom.07ghost | # Ogi's Intelligence Unit
Ogi's Intelligence Unit is an underground network of spies commanded by major general (rear-admiral) Ogi. The unit operates outside the law of District 1, and is so secretive that not even the Field Marshal or King of Barsburg know of its existence.
The purpose of the intelligence unit is for members to ingratiate themselves with members of the military in order to gather incriminating information that could be used against enemies, and is primarily used by Ogi to further his own goals (manga chapter 21).
The intelligence unit was infiltrated by a member of the Chief of Staff's Black Hawks, Katsuragi, who disguised himself as an existing member. Katsuragi later killed Ogi, and it is unknown what happened to the intelligence unit after his (Ogi's) death.
History.
It is unknown exactly when the Intelligence Unit was founded or who founded them, but it could have been Ogi, as they were seen following his orders.
During the Raggs War.
It is likely that the Intelligence Unit was founded before or during the Raggs War, as the current Katsuragi disguised himself as a member of the Intelligence Unit during this period.
Post-Raggs War.
The Intelligence Unit were seen to be active after the Raggs War. In their first appearance it is revealed that Ogi's immediate goal was to overthrow the current Chief of Staff and have a member take the position, as well as obtain the Eye of Mikhail.
Manga synopsis.
Discovery of the Eye of Mikhail.
The Intelligence Unit first appeared after the location of the Eye of Mikhail was made known to the Barsburg army. Ogi secretly met with Katsuragi, who he had placed as a spy in Ayanami's Black Hawks with the intention of overthrowing him.
Ogi's death.
Although their actions have not been seen, it is also likely that Ogi used the unit to dispatch of admirals Nabiki and Shiroki, as well as make preparations to kill Field Marshal Wakaba Oak and frame Chief of Staff Ayanami, as Katsuragi was involved and Ogi spoke of "collecting evidence".
However, it was eventually revealed that the Intelligence Unit was infiltrated by a member of the Chief of Staff's Black Hawks, Katsuragi, who disguised himself as an existing member. Katsuragi later killed Ogi, and it remains a mystery whether the unit was disbanded after the death of their leader.

fandom.07ghost | # Ohruri
Ohruri is a minor character in the 07-Ghost series. She is one of Ouka's three ladies-in-waiting.
Etymology.
The Blue-and-White Flycatcher is known in Japan as 'Oh-ruri (Big Blue)'.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Ohruri is tall and slim, and wears her hair in twin buns at the sides of her head that end in large, spiral curls. In a coloured picture on the cover of volume 11, she is shown to have light pink hair and light green eyes. Her height and build are similar to Gyokuran's and Kikune's.
Clothing.
Ohruri is always seen in civilian clothing.
Personality.
Ohruri is the most childlike of the trio, easily getting excited over various things, and is very cheerful and energetic. She is also outspoken and will not hesitate to speak her mind if she disagrees with someone, as shown by her interactions with Gyokuran. She seems to be the most laidback of the trio, as she did not become agitated when Ouka ran away, nor when Ouka revealed she had given away Empress Dalia's earrings, and throughout the series, never loses her temper.
Relationships.
Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg.
Like Gyokuran and Kikune, despite being obligated to care for Ouka as her servant, Ohruri has been shown to genuinely care for Ouka, and seems to be a mother figure or older sister figure to the princess.
Gyokuran and Kikune.
Ohruri is often seen with Gyokuran and Kikune, and has been shown to get along well with both of them, though she occasionally disapproves of Gyokuran's competitive attitude. She once said that Gyokuran is scary.
Hakuren Oak.
Ohruri and Hakuren get along well. Like Kikune, Ohruri does not share Gyokuran's apparent dislike of Hakuren, and was once shown marvelling at Hakuren's ability to deal with Ouka's difficult aunt. She seems to think that Gyokuran is too competitive towards Hakuren.
Teito Klein.
Ohruri seems to think that Teito is cute, and at Ouka's birthday ball, she was mildly curious about him.
History.
Little is known about Ohruri's history. At some point in her life, she began working as one of Ouka's attendants.
Abilities and Attributes.
Ohruri has Zaiphon that enables her to extract poisons .
Manga synopsis.
Ohruri plays a relatively minor role in the series. She first appeared when Ouka was at the Krat House with Teito, and searched for her with Gyokuran and Kikune. The three women appeared again, along with Hakuren, when they eventually found Ouka and convoyed her back to the royal palace.
Ohruri appeared again a few more times in the royal palace, and along with Gyokuran, Kikune and Hakuren, accompanied Ouka to the Hawkzile race. Ohruri was also present at Ouka's birthday ball, where she observed Ouka's fiance candidates and gently corrected Gyokuran when she (Gyokuran) said that the day to 'critique' Ouka's fiance candidates had arrived. When the ball was abruptly brought to an end, Ohruri presumably evacuated with Kikune and Hakuren, while Gyokuran restrained Ouka, who wanted to search for Teito. Her eventual fate is uncertain.

fandom.07ghost | # Old Man
The Old Man is a minor character that appears in the 07 Ghost manga and anime series. He is a nameless character shown wandering the Church grounds after the death of his wife, and the second victim of a Kor shown in the series. He was the first Kor victim to be shown in the series, and was reunited with his child and grandchild after he recovered.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
The old man appears old and infirm. He is very small in stature, being almost a foot smaller than the already small Teito, which puts him somewhere at 4 foot 4, and his weight and build are unknown. His age shows in his appearance, having deep wrinkles on his face, small, sunken eyes, large eyebrows, and a large nose and ears. His eyes and hair are both grey in colour, his hair appearing to be cropped short.
Clothing.
He wears the simple hooded robes of a monk, and carries a wooden staff for help when walking.
Personality.
Although seen only briefly, the old man appeared mild mannered and quiet. He was trusting and polite, as he answered Teito's question. He was also shown to be gentle and patient, as he considered his wife's feelings even after death, and offered to listen to Teito's story when he saw him looking sad.
As a Kor he is shown to be very aggressive.
Relationships.
Relatives.
The old man was eventually reunited with his child (an adult) his/her partner and their child (the Old Man's grandchild). He and his grandson appeared to be close as the child rushed up to him and hugged him. Teito had said that he (the old man) will be much happier now that his family is present.
Nameless wife.
The old man appeared to be very close to his wife and he was shown fondly looking at a photo of them together.
He considered his wife's feelings even after she died, visited her grave every day, and was reluctant to leave her grave as he feared she may get lonely when he goes. His wish to the Kor may have been to be with his wife.
History.
Very little is known about the Old Man's past. He married and had children as some point in his life.
Raggs War.
In chapter 20, upon seeing the light from the Eye of Mikhail, the Old Man remarks that he had seen that light before, which may have been a reference to the attack by the Eye of Raphael during the Raggs War. This could suggest that he fought during the Raggs war, or is a Raggs citizen.
Post-Raggs War.
The old man appeared to have lived within the Church grounds for some time, as he mentioned that he had been wandering the Church for a while. He used to live with his wife, whose name is unknown, and his children moved away. His wife appears to have been ill or infirm, as she seemed to be unable to stand in the picture the old man had.
When she passed away she was buried in the Church cemetery, and the old man was unable to return home upon realising that there would be no one there to greet him, as it had been just the two of them living there, and the thought of his wife being lonely. He apparently visits the Church cemetery every night. Some time after his wife's death, he became a Kor. The wish he made may have been to be reunited with his wife.
Manga synopsis.
A deal with a Kor.
The old man first appears on the Church grounds where he greets Teito and tells him of his dead wife. He offers to listen to Teito's story as Teito did his.
The photo he holds becomes a photo of Teito and Kreuz, and the Old Man allows Teito to remember more of his past as the Prince of Raggs. Teito asks to meet the 'father' and the Old Man (now a Kor) marks him with the brand of a Kor and attempts to grant his wish.
A battle with the Ghosts.
Teito is stopped by the Seven Ghosts, who challenge the Old Man. Frau draws the scythe, which infuriates the Kor possessing the Old Man. As the Old Man flees, Frau and Castor pursue him and Castor ensnares him using his Ghost strings, allowing Frau to destroy the Kor wings.
The Old Man wakes up soon after this, with no memory of the Kor or the Bishops. Bishop Castor tells him that he had fallen asleep in the courtyard and he may catch a cold. Since the main gate is locked, Castor offers him a room in the Church and carries him inside.
Reunited with his family.
The next day, Bishops Frau, Castor and Labrador had tracked down his family upon hearing of Teito's concern. He (the old man) is seen with a young couple, who are most likely his child and their partner, and a small child, who appears to be his grandchild as he rushes up to the Old man and hugs him. The family thank the nuns who brought them together and leave the Church.
The theft of the Eye.
In the manga, he appears again briefly during the Eye of Mikhail's theft, commenting that he had seen the light from a God Eye before. However, this does not occur in the anime.

The Old Man's Wife is an unnamed and unseen minor character who only appeared in a photo in a single episode/chapter of the 07 Ghost manga and anime series. She is the deceased wife of the Old Man Kor.
Relationships.
The Old Man's Wife appears to have had a good relationship with her husband, as he visited her grave every day to stop her from feeling lonely. His grief at her death may have driven him to make a bargain with a Kor.
History.
Very little is known about the Old Man's Wife's past. She married at some point in her life and had children (unknown how many), one of whom eventually had a child of his/her own.
Post-Raggs War.

She used to live with her husband, whose name is unknown, and her children moved away, so it was just the two of them living there. She appears to have been ill or infirm for a while, as she seemed to be unable to stand in the picture the old man had.
Death.
When she passed away, she was buried in the Church cemetery, and the old man was unable to return home upon realising that there would be no one there to greet him, and the thought of his wife being lonely.

fandom.07ghost | # Old Servant
The Old Servant is a nameless, minor character who only appeared in manga chapters 55, 56 and 57. He is one of Rena's servants.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
He is balding, and what little hair he has is light-coloured (probably white). His height and build are both average.
Clothing.
As a servant of a noble family, he wears the appropriate attire.
Personality.
He is friendly and cheerful, as he is often seen smiling, and also seems to be more composed than the other, younger servants.

Manga synopsis.
The old servant is first seen confronting Teito Klein, Frau and Capella at the entrance to Rena's house, alongside the other servants. When Teito, Frau and Capella eventually enter the house, he goes to stand behind the couch Rena seats herself on. He is later seen telling Teito, Frau and Capella to change into more appropriate attire when Rena's relatives visit.
His last appearance in the series is when he sees Frau and Teito off, alongside Rena, the other servants, and Capella; bowing as Teito's and Frau's Hawkzile departs.

fandom.07ghost | # One-winged Kor
A One-winged Kor is a human that only has half a soul, thus only having one Kor wing.
One-winged Kor are created by Ayanami and are a result of him trying to control a person's soul using Vertrag's Ghost ability. However, due to his human body he is only able to imperfectly use Vertrag's power, resulting in a Kor with only one wing.
Ayanami has said that once a person has become a one-winged Kor their soul cannot be saved like that of a normal Kor. Instead they will be forced to reincarnate. The Kor wing eats the soul of the person.
Etymology.
In the Ainu language of Japan, there is a closed class of 'count verbs'. The word 'Kor' means 'to have something'. 'Kor' is also an ancient Hebrew unit of capacity equal to 10 baths or 10 ephahs (source: The Free Dictionary).
Anatomy.
A one-winged Kor still resembles the human it used to be; the only difference is the single, large Kor wing that is roughly six foot in length.
Temperament.
Like the Kor, they are very aggressive.
Creation.
Because Verloren devoured the soul of Vertrag, the Ghost that can possess souls, Ayanami has the ability to possess souls by making a contract, as seen in Mikage's case. However, while in a human body, Verloren can only use this power imperfectly, hence possessing only half of Mikage's soul. Even so, this is still enough to allow Ayanami to control a person's movements and what they say. It is currently unknown for how long he can possess a person's soul and if this works on anyone. It is also unknown whether he can use his full power when possessing someone but it is likely that he is limited to an extent, although not significantly.
In the manga, it has been said that a soldier became a one-winged Kor because he was not baptised, which suggests that those who are baptised receive protection against becoming one.
Why the Kor has only one wing is never directly addressed in canon. One theory is that it's because Ayanami only holds half of the person's soul, and therefor the resulting Kor has only one wing. It's also noteworthy that the single wing is always the "left" wing, which in his true form, is the only wing Verloren possesses; his scythe transforms to create his right wing.
Attacking and destroying a one-winged Kor.
Unlike with a Kor, destroying the wing will not release the person's soul. It will instead kill them. It appears that destroying the wing is the only way to destroy the one-winged Kor.
Abilities and Attributes.
When possessed, the person's speed and strength is enhanced greatly due to Ayanami's own immense speed and strength. Their movements are difficult to predict. Ayanami, while possessing Mikage, has also demonstrated the ability to fly and become intangible like a ghost.
A possessed person also has a greater resistance to injuries that would seriously harm or kill a human.

fandom.07ghost | # One-winged Kor Soldier
The One-winged Kor Soldier was a nameless, minor character in the 07-Ghost manga series.
He was previously a soldier in the Barsburg Armed Forces until he became possessed by Ayanami under unknown circumstances (becoming a One-winged Kor), and attempted to kill Teito Klein and Capella in the city of Baltos. He was eventually killed by Frau.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
The nameless soldier is rather tall, being estimated around 5 foot 10, with a lean build.
He has a heart-shaped face with wide cheeks and a pointy chin. He has large eyes, their colour unknown, a large, aquiline nose, and a large mouth with thin lips. His hair is dark, straight, and cut short with a fringe that is parted to the left.
Clothing.
As a soldier of the Imperial Army, the nameless man wears the standard officer 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. He wears 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. He wears a plainly-decorated officers cap, and carries no weapon.
Personality.
Nothing is known about his personality as a human. As a Kor, like all other Kor, he was aggressive.
Abilities and Attributes.
Due to him being a Kor, he gained all the abilities typically associated with Kor victims, such as increased agility, speed, strength and endurance, as well as the ability to fly.
He may not have been able to use a Zaiphon before his transformation, but as a Kor, he wields one with considerable skill.
History.
Little is known of the Kor soldier. As a member of the military, he would have attended a military academy in his youth.
At some unknown point in time he met Ayanami, who took control of his soul using Vertrag's power, and used him to spy on Teito Klein.
Manga Synopsis.
As Teito Klein and Capella wander the market of the city of Baltos, the soldier (controlled by Ayanami) confronts them.
He reaches out to grab them, 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.
The civilians quickly scatter, and Teito drags Capella and Burupya to safety. He 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, hoping to find the location of Pandora's Box. 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. Ayanami is furious that Vertrag is preventing him from seeing Teito's past, but 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.

Summary.
Teito has a flashback of his days as Miroku Barsburg's combat sklave, recalling how he was tasked with killing criminals who were condemned to death. While living in Miroku's home, he endured verbal abuse from Karu and the only member of the household who was kind to him was the maid Kurena.
One day, after finding himself unable to execute a criminal who cried out for his mother, Teito is deeply upset, and when Karu taunts him, his distress is only further increased. He tries to escape, but Kurena stops him. Teito pleads with her, and she moves aside, but Karu appears and reveals that if Kurena lets Teito escape, she will be killed. Upon hearing this, Teito stops trying to escape. He then starts bringing small gifts e.g. a feather to Kurena, hoping she will enjoy them.
Teito eventually leaves Miroku's household to enrol in Barsburg Military Academy, and pays Kurena one last visit before his departure. She writes the words "On your back, there are wings. Fly wherever you want." on his hand, and he resolves to someday set Kurena free.
Some time later, Kurena is looking fondly at all the gifts Teito gave her, when Karu informs her that Teito is pursuing his own path. Kurena smiles to herself.

fandom.07ghost | # Ouida
Ouida is a minor character and one of two brothers who were acolytes training to become bishops. It would appear the two made the decision to become bishops after their parents died and the brothers' relatives took the opportunity to try and steal the extravagant inheritance left to the two young boys.
Ouida is the elder of the two, recognised by his taller stature and dark greyish-brown hair, and is the guardian of Liam. In the manga Ouida has passed the Bishop's Apprentice Exam and is now serving under Bishop Labrador as his apprentice (manga chapter 65).
Etymology.
"Ouida" is an old German name meaning "famous warrior", and was used as the pen name of Victorian romantic novelist: Maria Louise Ramé.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Ouida appears as a young boy who is 15 or 16 years old. He is fairly tall, being an estimated 5 foot 7 inches in height, and although his weight is unknown, he has a slender build.
Ouida's face is diamond-shaped with a sharp jaw and pointy chin, as well as a small, long nose, a small mouth, and narrowed, brown eyes. His skin is pale with a brown tint. Ouida's hair is a dark greyish-brown colour and spiked up to the right, with two strands falling over his forehead.
Clothing.
He is first seen in the Bishop's apprentice uniform which appears as 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 round 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.
Later in the series, Ouida becomes Labrador's apprentice, and is shown wearing what appears to be a shawl decorated with the cross of the Church on the left, over a long, plain white shirt with full-length sleeves and long, plain white trousers.
Personality.
Ouida appears as a kind and patient person who is sympathetic to the plight of those around him. He is also helpful, shown when he gives some of his Zaiphon to Teito during the Bishop exam.
Ouida is also studious and strives to do well during exams, as he becomes panicked at the thought of being late for the Archbishop's sermon because he may miss valuable information that could be on the exam.
Relationships.
Family.
Unnamed mother and father: Ouida's mother and father died before he and Liam came to the Church. It appears Ouida was very close to his parents, as he carries a little book containing photos of them and would have been upset if he lost it.
Various relatives: Ouida has a deep hatred for the relatives who used his parents' deaths to take the house and inheritance, and they were his innermost darkness that he had to face during the exam. Attempting to separate him from Liam and frightening Liam have lead him to truly despise them. However, during the exam, he appears grateful that their actions made him realise how important his brother was to him.
Liam.
Ouida is the guardian of Liam, and has been since their parents' deaths. Ouida greatly cares for his sibling, and he prays to the statue of Fest that their bond will never break.
The protection of Liam is Ouida's utmost priority, and he constantly worries about his safety. When relatives attempted to seize his parents' property and separate him from his brother, Ouida fled to the Church in an effort to protect him. He considered frightening Liam an "unforgivable" act, and his anger at his relatives for doing so drove him to hate them. He also hopes for Liam to perform well, and pushes him to work to the best of his ability, seen when he urges Liam to hurry in case they miss the lecture, quizzes him on text from the holy books, and also takes him to pray to Fest.
Following Liam failing to pass the Bishop's Apprentice Exam, Ouida's approach to Liam changes: he views himself, in part, as responsible for Liam's shortcomings, and that his past protection of Liam had hindered his growth. Ouida then vows to allow Liam to go his own way and believes the best think he can do for Liam is to believe in him. However, Ouida's overprotection of Liam has not disappeared completely, and he becomes worried when he sees another boy tousle Liam's hair.
Superiors.
Labrador: After passing the Bishop's Apprentice Exam, Ouida goes on to become Labrador's apprentice. He is very caring and respectful towards Labrador, advising him not to sleep outdoors at night in case he catches a cold, and making tea for him.
Castor: Once, when Ouida was looking for Labrador and could not find him, he enlisted Castor's help. Castor once remarked that Ouida is like a pious son towards Labrador.
Peers.
Hakuren Oak: At their first meeting, Ouida and Hakuren got along well, and their shared duties as apprentices of Labrador and Castor seemed to have further improved their relationship. Due to the closeness of their respective Bishop superiors, it is likely they spend a lot of time with each other.
Teito Klein: 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.
Kyle: It seems that Ouida and Kyle are friends, or at least on good terms. They are familiar enough with each other for Kyle to call Ouida a: 'brother-complexed weirdo', and for Ouida to be not offended.
Ouida also appears concerned with Kyle's health, preparing light food for him after Kyle jumped from a Ribidzile, and when Kyle told Ouida that he (Kyle) was going to go mountain climbing with Lance, Ouida told him to 'try to come back unharmed'. Due to the closeness of their respective Bishop superiors, it is likely they spend a lot of time with each other.
Abilities and Attributes.
Zaiphon.
Healing Zaiphon: Ouida had a healing Zaiphon, and he appears to be quite skilled with a Baculus, as he was able to pass the Bishop exam.
History.
Childhood.
It is revealed that Ouida was born into a very wealthy, possibly noble, family, native to District 5. He was the eldest of two sons.
Escape to District 7.
Ouida's parents died sometime before he and Liam fled to the Barsburg Church.
It is unknown if his parents were assassinated by members of their own family, but after their deaths there was a large fortune left unclaimed, and relatives of the boys took advantage of this and claimed it, and their parents house, for themselves. It seems his relatives also tried to separate Ouida and Liam, and it could be that they (Ouida and Liam) travelled to the Church to protect themselves from potential assassination, as they were set to inherit their parents' money.
Manga synopsis.
Bishop's Apprentice Exam.
Ouida is first seen dropping something an then Teito picks it up and returns it. He introduces himself and his younger brother, Liam, to Teito and Hakuren.
Statue of Fest.
Ouida and his brother are then seen in one of the Ghosts towers, looking at the statue of, Fest. Upon arrival Liam asks whether this is the statue in which Ouida replies "it sure is, he's the God that Links peoples hearts together." Ouida then explains that the examinations are taken in pairs and that the examiners will be testing their bond as they go along. Liam says that despite not worshiping the ghost, he will pray that the bond between him and Ouida never breaks.
Part one of the exam.
The next time the brothers appear is right before the exam starts, where they smile and wave at Teito Klein and Hakuren Oak.
As a result of the incident involving the Eye of Mikhail, Teito's energy is drained. Hearing this, after the two former assistant Archbishops asked if anyone could lend him some Zaiphon, Ouida approaches Teito volunteering to give him some after many other trainee Bishops shunned him. Teito declines at first- not wishing to drain Ouida, but Ouida tells him the fact that he is trying to become a Bishop makes it natural that he would help him and that he will treat the whole thing as part of his trial.
He and his brother appear near the end of the first exam: at the final challenge, which is to decide which one of them passes, as only one can walk through the door of the victor.
Ouida tells Liam to walk through the door of the victor, but Liam distracts Ouida, writes Ouida's name on the wall and runs through the door of the defeated, crying and saying Ouida should pass. Ouida follows him through the door, saying he wishes to protect his brother, and when Lance hears these two reasons they both pass.
Part two of the exam.
Ouida enters the second part of the exam and faces his fear of his relatives, who attempted to separate him from his little brother after his parents died and claim the large inheritance for their own.
Ouida runs to protect his little brother and is furious with his relatives for frightening him (Liam) so much. However, he is able to calm himself and be grateful that his relatives' actions made him realise how important his brother was to him. The illusion then disappears, and Ouida passes the exam.
After the exam.
After passing the Bishop's Apprentice Exam, Ouida goes on to work under Bishop Labrador. He is seen rushing up to Bishop Castor, and his (Castor's) apprentice Hakuren Oak, in a panicked state after 'losing' Bishop Labrador. Castor advices him to search around the trees, and they find Labrador asleep amongst the roots.
Ouida presumably has a cross tattooed on his back to show he has been chosen to "pursue the path of a Bishop", and prepares to leave the 7th District to travel with Labrador exterminating Kor. With his things packed, and Kyle having already left with Bishop Lance, Ouida regroups with Hakuren Oak (who will be leaving with Bishop Castor) and informs him he will be leaving after he and Labrador repair the garden.
They see Liam, who is preparing to retake the exam after failing, with some of his friends. Ouida tells Hakuren his own protectiveness had hindered Liam's growth- and that he is prepared to let Liam go his own way now, but becomes paranoid after seeing one of Liam's friends tousle his hair.
Just then, some children bring a letter to Hakuren, and Hakuren immediately rushes to Castor to warn him of the news.
Differences between the manga and anime.
Introduction.
In the manga, Ouida is first introduced in the church refractory, where he drops something and Teito returns it. In the anime, Ouida is first seen late for a sermon.

fandom.07ghost | # Ouka's Dictionary
Ouka's Dictionary is a dictionary that Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg had with her when she first met Teito Klein. it is a dictionary of colloquialisms. Ouka is implied to often carry it around with her, as when Ouka showed it to Teito, Kururu remarked "A book like that again" upon seeing it. However, it did not appear again after Teito and Ouka's first meeting; the reason is unknown.

SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Pandora's Box is the realm where the body of Verloren is confined to, by the power of the Eye of Mikhail. It has been guarded by the Barsburg Church for a 'thousand years'.
Overview.
A Pandora's Box can be a human body or an ordinary box (manga chapter 26, the black coffin behind King Antwort), although the former case is very rare because Verloren can come out from a human box easily (after he has eaten the soul of that human or when the human dies).
History.
In a chapter in the manga, King Weldeschtein of Raggs wanted to move Verloren's Body into a new, empty coffin as the original coffin is wearing out, but he didn't know that Tiashe has been placed in the new coffin by the Pope, so he accidentally moves Verloren's Body into Tiashe. Once inside Tiashe, Verloren's Body wants to devour Tiashe's soul, but King Raggs discovers his mistake in time and puts the Eye of Mikhail (which can protect his master's soul from Verloren's Body) into Tiashe. Protected by the angel Mikhail, Tiashe acts as a Pandora's Box (the first successful case of a human box).
Modern history.
After successfully recapturing Tiashe, Ayanami kept him as his assistant. Ayanami and the Barsburg military brainwashed Tiashe and succeeded in unlocking several locks in Tiashe's psyche, but when Tiashe saw Frau at Princess Ouka's masquerade ball, he regained his memory. Pandora's Box was eventually opened, but Verloren did not harm Tiashe and his (Verloren's) spirit left to live in seclusion.

Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Parl is considerably shorter and plumper than his brother. He has spiky tufts of light-coloured hair at the sides of his head, a large nose, and a large bald spot in the centre of his scalp, suggesting that he shaves his head, like Carl. His face is perfectly round save for a squarish chin.
Clothing.
He wears dark glasses and an ankle length coat with a black fur collar. He also wears many pieces of jewellery on his hands.
Personality.
He apparently has a personality that was similar to his brother's, also being flamoyant, dramatic and arrogant. However, he does not seem to be as much of a leader as Carl, and often looks to Carl for guidance.
Relationships.
Carl.
Parl and Carl seem to get along well, possibly due to their similar personalities and ways of thinking. The two brothers were shown to have no problem cooperating with each other and working together during the Hawkzile race.
History.
Early childhood.
Little is known about Parl's early years. He presumably grew up alongside his brother Carl.
Adulthood.
At some point in his adult life, he began working as a loan shark.
Manga synopsis.
Parl appeared together with his brother in the Hawkzile Race, where the two attempted to harass and intimidate Frau and Teito Klein. Frau and Teito took the team names that the two brothers had originally intended to use. Both Parl and Carl briefly reappeared in Kapitel 93, along with Carl's subordinates, and also in Kapitel 99, where Parl and Carl are shown talking in a Barsburg airport. Carl declares that he will find a new business opportunity because slavery will soon be abolished in the Empire. Parl's reaction is not shown but it is likely that he went along with Carl's plan.

Summary.
Kuroyuri tries to get food for him/herself at a vending machine, but is too short to reach the button he/she wants. Haruse, seeing Kuroyuri's struggle, presses the button for him/her, but Kuroyuri, embarrassed at needing help, shouts at him and runs off.
Haruse is next seen in his room, talking to his roommate and thinking about Kuroyuri. He decides to bake some desserts for Kuroyuri, but when he gives the desserts to him/her, Kuroyuri says that the food has no taste. Disheartened, Haruse is about to give up on his passion for baking entirely and instead devote his attention to the military from then on, but then remembers that Kuroyuri poured a liquid called "Blue Sky Sauce" on his/her food.
Believing that if he ingests the Blue Sky Sauce, he will gain a better understanding of Kuroyuri's dietary preferences, he obtains a bottle of the sauce and is about to drink it when his roommate comes in, and, panicking, tries to wrestle the bottle away from Haruse. However, this results in Haruse accidentally pouring the sauce down his roommate's throat, and his roommate faints, to Haruse's shock.
Haruse meets with Kuroyuri again, and learns that Kuroyuri has no sense of taste due to someone poisoning his/her food when he/she was younger. As Haruse and Kuroyuri are talking, Haruse's roommate (who has recovered) walks by and sees them. He later confronts Haruse in their room, and tells him about Kuroyuri being a Warsfeil. Haruse is surprised, but still determined to be Kuroyuri's friend.
A short while later, Haruse meets Hyuuga, who challenges him to a sword duel, saying that if Haruse is unable to defend himself and dies, Kuroyuri would be upset. However, before Haruse and Hyuuga can duel, Kuroyuri appears, and screaming at Hyuuga, kicks the swordsman away. Kuroyuri then turns to Haruse, and proclaims that Haruse will not want to be friends with him/her anymore, due to Kuroyuri being a Warsfeil. To Kuroyuri's surprise, Haruse replies that he still wants to be his/her friend.
At the end of the chapter, Haruse has apparently joined the Black Hawks and is now Kuroyuri's begleiter. Kuroyuri forces Hyuuga to eat some "tuna chocolate" while Haruse watches and Ayanami does paperwork in the background, ignoring his subordinates' antics.

fandom.07ghost | # Princess Celestine
About.
Little is known about Princess Celestine. All that is known is that she was the loyal wife to The Chief of Heaven and a great mother towards Eve. Celestine was murdered buy Verloren due to the fact she didn't want him around her daughter at such a young age (he could corrupt Eve's mind). Celestine never liked being called Princess because she never wanted to feel over anybody.
Relationships.
The Chief Of Heaven
The Chief was deeply in love with Celestine. He thought she was a great wife and mother of his child. The Chief was grief-stricken and craving revenge after Celestine's death.
Eve
Eve, however, was The daughter of The Chief and Princess Celestine. Eve was very fond towards her mother due to the fact that Celestine gave her daughter a chance to speak.
Verloren
Verloren envied Celestine because she wouldn't let her daughter go see him. Celestine called Verloren immature, selfish and dangerous. This caused Verloren to take it the wrong way and murder Eve's mother.
Teito Klein
Celestine has a very close telepathic connection with Teito. She tends to give him warnings.
Trivia.
Celestine resembles Mavis Vermillion from Fairy Tail, due to their green eyes and blonde hair.
Celestine gave birth at 24 and died at 32.

fandom.07ghost | # Prisoner D-431
Prisoner D-431 is an unnamed minor antagonist who only appears in the Begleiter pilot chapter. He is a shapeshifter, and appears as a prisoner in Hohburg Fortress, the eighth area prison, where he escapes and attempts to kill Ayanami in a suicide bombing, but after Yukinami intervenes and saves Ayanami, he only manages to kill himself.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Prisoner D-431's true form appears as a man of average height with a thin, long-limbed frame covered in scars from past battles. His face is triangular, with small, wide-spaced, beady eyes, a short mop of light hair, and a wide nose.
Clothing.
He wears tight-fitting, knee-length, black trousers.
Personality.
Prisoner D-431 appears as ruthless and cruel as he kills anyone who gets in his way, ignoring age or profession. He appears ambitious, as he stopped at nothing to achieve his goal, even if it meant killing himself. He is also sly and intelligent, as he was able to devise a plan that helped him escape, and trick almost everybody into believing he was the person he was impersonating.
Abilities and Attributes.
Prisoner D-431 is a shapeshifter, which means he is able to change his physical appearance freely, through contact with his mouth. This ability also appears to cover the voice of the person he is impersonating, as his ruse was not given away when he spoke. He is able to "stock up on faces", meaning he is able to store faces for later impersonation, though it is unknown what the limit is, but can only use each face for 30 minutes. It is unknown if he can or cannot shapeshift clothes too, as when he first demonstrated his ability he was seen without the guard's clothes, but when he impersonated Yukinami, he was seen with an identical cadet uniform, despite Yukinami being the only cadet around, and he was still wearing the uniform.
Hand-to-hand combat.
Prisoner D-431 appears to be an able swordsman as he was easily able to take down multiple armed guards in a relatively short space of time.
History.
It is possible that Prisoner D-431 is a native of the kingdom of Raggs as he had said that Ayanami was responsible for the death of his people, although this could be debated as Barsburg has claimed many other kingdoms. At one point he committed a crime and was imprisoned in Hohburg Fortress, possibly the killing of Barsburg soldiers, and vowed to take revenge against Ayanami.
Manga synopsis.
Escape.
He first appears trapped in a cell in the eighth area prison when a guard approaches him. Prisoner D-431 grabs his collar through the bars and licks his face. When the guard reels back in shock, the prisoner explains that he had a fly on his face. He later impersonates the guard whose face he licked and uses this disguise to trick another guard to release him, pretending he is the real guard and that the prisoner had locked him in his cell. When the guard is fooled and opens the cell, Prisoner D-431 kills him and then impersonates him and steals his clothes. He then makes his way through Hohburg to the fifth block, killing anyone who gets in his way.
Battling Yukinami.
Meanwhile, Yukinami having gotten lost while retrieving documents for Ayanami stumbles across Prisoner D-431 (in another disguise) and reveals his post as Ayanami's begleiter to him. When Yukinami turns, the prisoner attacks him but Yukinami dodges the blow.
Battling Ayanami.
As Ayanami waits in Raphael's tower, Yukinami appears before him and tells him that he managed to capture the prisoner and deliver him to the guards. Upon hearing this, all the guards in the room leave, leaving Yukinami alone with Ayanami and Hyuuga. However another Yukinami appears and claims to be the real one, and the two Yukinamis fight. Just as one Yukinami has the other pinned to the floor, about to deliver a fatal blow, Ayanami severs his arm with his sword, revealing him to be the prisoner in disguise, Ayanami recognising him because he doesn't have "the eyes of a puppy" like the real Yukinami does.
Death.
As Prisoner D-431 lunges at Ayanami, Hyuuga steps between them and slices the prisoner across the chest. Ayanami then orders him to be taken back to his cell for interrogation, but Prisoner D-431 reveals a bomb concealed within his clothing. He detonates the bomb with the intention of killing Ayanami along with himself, but Yukinami intervenes and teleports Ayanami, Hyuuga and himself to the top of another tower, saving them and meaning the prisoner only managed to kill himself.

fandom.07ghost | # Profe
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Profe is one of the Seven Ghosts in the 07 Ghost series. He is the speaking spirit and the one that is able to look into a person's future.
There is a statue of Profe in one of the seven Ghost towers in the Barsburg Church. It is currently unknown what people pray to the statue for, though considering Profe's power, it could be to gain insight into future situations.
Etymology.
The name 'Profe' appears to be an alteration of the word 'prophet' or 'prophesies' which has the same meaning in German as it does in English.
Form.
As with the other Seven Ghosts, Profe'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 Profe can be reincarnated as Profe, those acting as Profe tend to resemble each other. Those from Profe's bloodline tend to be petite, with youthful features. Their hair is wavy/curly and of a very light colour, and they have very pale skin. Their eyes are large and purple. Reincarnations of Profe can be considered the most 'feminine'; the Raggs War Profe was the only female Ghost reincarnation shown so far, and Labrador has managed to disguise himself as a woman, at Ouka's birthday ball.
Symbol.
Profe's Ghost symbol is light blue and resembles a crescent-shaped sickle of some sort with a large floating orb in the centre. The orb is thought to symbolise an eye, as Profe's Ghost ability is to see into a person's future.
Personality.
Profe tends to be very kind and gentle Ghost, but with a mischievous and playful side.
Abilities and attributes.
The Seven Ghosts all possess the ability to erase or otherwise alter a person's memories. Like the other Ghosts, Profe can make his true forms 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, shown when Labrador slept outside some nights but did not seem affected by the cold.
Specific abilities.
The Ghost Profe has the ability to prophesies the future and to communicate with the plants in the Church Gardens.
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.
Profe went on to become the progenitor of the Krat 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 (Profe 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 Landkarate 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, who's reincarnation was killed by Ayanami and devoured by Verloren.
The remaining six, however, escaped with their lives.

SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Raggs is the former identity of District 1 of the Barsburg Empire. The Raggs kingdom was tasked with guarding the Eye of Mikhail, as Barsburg were the Eye of Raphael, and did so until the Raggs War, in which the race and its royal family was almost wiped out completely.
National Emblem.
Original.
The original Raggs emblem presumably looked similar to the combined one, but without Antwort's pentagon in the centre. Raggs's national colours appear to be dark green and gold.
Joint emblem.
Following the marriage of Weldeschtein Krom Raggs and Vanessa Antwort and the alliance between the two countries, the nation emblem of Antwort was merged with that of Raggs to create a joint emblem.
The joint emblem featured two golden, galloping bulls facing away from each other and the Antwort pentagon in the very centre (with an unknown image that looks somewhat like a crown in the centre of the pentagon). The whole emblem is shield shaped, similar in design to a coat of arms, with two pairs of angel wings at the top, the lower pair larger than the higher. There is a jewel at the very top, and this and the angel wings possibly represent the Eye of Mikhail and Mikhail.
In Christian mythology, the sacred bull/golden calf was the idol worshipped by the Hebrew people that was later destroyed by Moses.
Raggs Castle.
The home of the Raggs royal family.
Climate.
Raggs is a temperate country that experiences snow but does also have warm and sunny days.
History.
Raggs has been known as District 1 ever since the Raggs War, in which those from Barsburg (currently known as District 3) launched a genocide against the people of Raggs. Those native to Raggs were either killed or enslaved and the people of Barsburg claimed the country as its own.
Similarity to real-world countries.
Australia's national colours, like Raggs's national colours, are green and gold.

fandom.07ghost | # Raggs Castle
The Raggs Castle was the home of the Raggs Family prior to the genocide of the kingdom of Raggs. In Kapitel 4, it appears that after the Raggs War, the castle was not destroyed, but covered by snow.
However, after ten years of neglect, it appears to have debilitated into ruins, as the frozen castle is shown falling apart when Teito Klein returns to it. In the final manga chapter, though, it is mentioned that Wahrheit Teito Klein reestablished the Raggs kingdom. This could mean that Raggs Castle has been rebuilt by the end of the series.

SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
The Raggs Family were the royalty of the Raggs kingdom, which collapsed after the Raggs War ten years ago and the territory is currently known as District 1. Its royal lineage is famous for its possession of the Eye of Mikhail. They are the blood descendants of Vertrag, thus, members of the Raggs Family can be reincarnated as Vertrag .
Wahrheit Tiashe Raggs, also known as Teito Klein, an alias used to conceal his real identity, Ayanami, who was revealed to be Teito's biological uncle in Kapitel 90, and Millea Klein, Teito's mother, are the only members of the Raggs family who survived the Raggs War. Ayanami died in Kapitel 98, leaving Teito and Millea the only two surviving members of the Raggs family, at present.
In Kapitel 99 , it's mentioned that Wahrheit Teito Klein reestablished the Raggs kingdom , which could mean that in the future, more members have been added to the Raggs family.
Appearance.
Men of the Raggs family tend to be tall, slender and clean-shaven, with hair of inconsistent colour that is kept short, and narrow eyes. The exception would be Teito Klein, Krom's only son, whose wide eyes he inherits from his mother.
It seems that men of the Raggs family are generally considered attractive within the series universe. Teito has been said to be cute by several other characters, and many women in the military have a crush on Ayanami.

fandom.07ghost | # Raggs War
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
The Raggs War was the first war between Barsburg and Raggs which resulted in the total destruction of the Raggs Kingdom and the slaughter of its bloodline to near extinction levels (with only three blood Raggs remaining). It was sparked by the theft of Pandora's box.
The people of Raggs suffered enormous casualties and those not slain by Barsburg troops were enslaved. The war almost resulted in the annihilation of the royal family of Raggs, with Tiashe, his memory of his true identity sealed by Vertrag, and Ayanami, who betrayed his family and kingdom for reasons as yet unknown, being the only survivors.
The genocide also prompted the Antwort Kingdom to arm themselves after they took Pandora's box, which inevitably led to the Antwort War, as the purpose of the Barsburg Chief of Staff, Ayanami, was to get the Pandora's Box.
Background.
Emperor Wolfram Eifeler Barsburg was in love with Millea Klein, and his jealousy of Weldeschtein Krom Raggs for having Millea's love caused him to be easily manipulated by Landkarte: a mysterious young man who wished for the destruction of Raggs to achieve his own goals.
The birth of the Raggs Prince.
Wahrheit Tiashe Raggs was born on the 1st of December into the Raggs Family: the son of King Weldeschtein Krom Raggs, and the King's beloved concubine, Millea Klein.
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.
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.
History leading up to conflict.
There are two different stories as to how the conflict between the two countries began, with each country having their own version of past events. The events detailed in the Barsburg history books are twisted and being notably biased in favour of Barsburg. However, it appears not even the highest military personal in Barsburg know the true reason for Kreuz's actions, nor the Pope's involvement.
The history books say that the Raggs War was triggered after Raggs broke the truce between it and Barsburg and their purpose was to get Barsburg's Eye of Raphael.
Accurate version of events.
Raggs and Barsburg had always been of equal power and their leaders of equal influence.
As Millea Klein was a 'commoner', the marriage between her and Weldeschtein Krom Raggs 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. And 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 tuned 4, Millea became very ill- due to a poisoning by the Landkarte- falling into a coma.
While initially pleased with Millea Klein's illness, Vanessa came to realise Krom's love for his concubine will continue through his love for his son Teito Klein- who resembled her greatly. These feeling's were further intensified by the King's announcement that Teito will 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.
Together, Vanessa and the Pope killed another child that greatly resembled Teito (which they did by throwing out of a Church tower) and blamed Teito's caretaker for neglecting to watch him properly. The death of the 'Prince' was recorded in the official records, as well as the suicide of the attendant that had been entrusted with him.
Unknown to the Queen, the Pope sought the power of knowledge, something that the God of Death, Verloren had been blessed with, and his real purpose was to bring about Verloren's revival. After having Tiashe, the Pope tricked King Weldeschtein to change the container of Pandora's Box (the vessel that seals the body of Verloren), by which Weldeschtein unintentionally sealed Verloren's body into Tiashe, who was hidden in the new container. Weldeschtein was not aware of what the Pope has done, until Vanessa was unable to bear the secret and revealed the whereabouts of the child to her husband. With this knowledge, the Pope's plan was foiled by Fea Kreuz, who escaped with the king's son. In order to prevent his son's soul from being eaten by what was sealed in him (Verloren's body), the King gave up the Eye of Mikhail and put it into Tiashe. This makes Tiashe the vessel of the Eye of Mikhail.
As soon as word had gotten out that Fea Kreuz had stolen Pandora's Box from the Pope, Barsburg waged war on the Raggs Kingdom, thus starting the Raggs War.
It was later revealed that while Barsburg apparently sought to fight in the name of justice, their true intentions were to use the theft of Pandora's box as an excuse to invade Raggs and plunder Raggs' vast Zaiphon reserves.
The conflict.
In an effort to keep Pandora's box safe from Barsburg, Fea Kreuz vowed to escape with Tiashe to the Seven God Houses and then to the Land of Seele. Their efforts were met with hostiliy, and the Bishop and his bodyguards were pursued by Hyuuga, who cut them down one-by-one until Kreuz and Tiashe were the only ones left, but they escaped as Landkarte saved them by using teletransportation.
The Raggs Kingdom, meanwhile was being shelled by Ribidziles and being invaded by Barsburg troops who killed the soldiers there and captured civilians, where they were enslaved. Despite Raggs having the advantage of knowing the soil they fought on, Barsburg, having superior weaponry, as well as the advantage of being first to attack, was the clear victor.
Although the details have not yet been revealed, it is known that Fea Kreuz did not survive the Raggs War with Tiashe. After Kreuz sealed the important part of Tiashe's memory, he was slain by Ayanami, who was known as Barsburg's Chief of Staff but whose true identity was Verloren. He absorbed Fea Kreuz's powers. Apart from Chairman Miroku, the Barsburg Imperial Army was unaware that the child, now known as Teito Klein, was in fact Tiashe Wahrheit Raggs, i.e. the only prince of Raggs and the Vessel for Mikhail's Eye, and they took him as a common sklave.
To make up for the soldiers who were dying in the war, Barsburg workers were drafted by the masses, and the remaining population were left "destitute" and forced to live in the slums.
Attacks on hospitals.
During the War, the military was in dire need of money to fund its equipment and soldiers. As tax money was being used to feed and take care of those in hospices who were old with no relatives, or had incurable conditions, the military began burning hospices, in order to redirect taxpayer's money to the military. The fires were officially documented as accidental.
Conflict between the God Houses.
During the Raggs War there was a rift between the Seven Houses of God, with each house choosing a side, and battles were fought between houses on opposing sides.
Aftermath.
The Emperor, Wolfram Eifeler Barsburg, dissatisfied with the military's failure to capture the Eye of Mikhail, taxed a large amount in order to fund the military in its search for the Eye of Mikhail, and one who could control it.
Revenge of the Houses.
Following Raggs' defeat, Raggs' allied houses faced mass executions for opposing the Barsburg Empire during the war. To prevent the extinction of their bloodlines, the Houses that sided with Raggs said that they would kill the leader of their respective houses, and present their heads as a peace offering.
The Hausen House.
Xing-lu of the Hausen House was to be one such sacrifice.
His father, however, had other plans. Xingfa organised a plan to save his son; proposing that the Noel Mermaid (a type of mermaid that can shape shift) Razette, that Xing-lu had saved a few months prior, change her face to look like Xing-lu's- and they decapitate her and give her head to the Barsburg houses instead. Razette, willing to die in Xing-lu's place, shapeshifted to look like him. However, as Xingfa drew his sword and lunged at her to kill her, Xing-lu threw himself in the way and the blow impaled him through the chest.
Xing-lu was mortally injured, and as he took his final breath, he looked up to see the God of the Hausen House, Fest, standing before him. Xing-lu died of his injuries that night, but was chosen as the new vessel for the Ghost Fest. He changed his name to Castor and moved to the Barsburg Church with Razette.
Consequences.
The consequences of the Raggs War were devastating, ending the Raggs Kingdom and almost caused the extinction of Raggs' royal lineage. Raggs' capital was taken as the new capital of the Barsburg Empire and its people are forced to live the rest of their lives as sklaven (slaves). At one point after the war, Barsburg passed a law which made the former Raggs Kingdom's castle a 'forbidden zone'.
To remove all traces of hope from the former citizens of Raggs, Barsburg destroyed all records of Raggs' music, art, literature, and history.
Deaths.
"See also "
The War damaged both sides, but with heavier casualties on Raggs' side. The Raggs royalty were almost entirely wiped out (Tiashe and Ayanami being the only survivors) in order to prevent the revival of the Raggs Kingdom. What few survivors remained among the people of Raggs were enslaved.

Appearance.
Physical appearance.
He looked somewhat like Castor, with a height and build that were similar to Castor's, but was slightly taller than Castor. Being a noble, he probably had pale skin. His hair was short, and official coloured art shows that it was a light orange-brown in colour. His face was less round than Castor's, making him look somewhat older.
As Fest.
Being one of the Seven Ghosts, he appears as a skeleton when in his true form.
Clothing.
He wore glasses, as well as a bishop's robes, indicating that he was a bishop.
Personality.
He suggested questioning Queen Vanessa Antwort during the Raggs War, and deduced that Karu was killed off for another Barsburg family member's benefit, showing that he was perceptive and knowledgeable. He also seemed to be a calm person, never raising his voice or losing his temper, and did not appear to possess a sadistic streak, unlike Castor.
History.
Early years.
Not much is known about the Raggs War Fest's early years. He was born on September 19th (citation needed) into the noble lineage of the Hausen family.
Adulthood.
At some point in his life, the Raggs War Fest died and was reincarnated as Fest. The cause of his physical death was poisoning.
Manga synopsis.

fandom.07ghost | # Raphael
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
"See also the relevant page: Angels."
Raphael is a protagonist in the 07-Ghost series and an archangel whose power can be accessed through a stone known as the Eye of Raphael. Using Raphael's power allows her to possess the body of her host, currently Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg and previously Dalia Barsburg, using the Eye that is sealed inside the host's right hand.
Raphael is one of two archangels in the series who are able to use an Eye to possess a host or vessel in the series, the other being Mikhail, who currently possesses Teito Klein. In Christianity, Islam and Judaism, Raphael is one of the Seven Archangels.
Etymology.
Raphael is clearly based on the archangel in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. The name 'Raphael', (also known as 'Rafael'), is a given name that comes from the Hebrew: רפאל, which means "God is Healer".
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Unlike her fellow archangel Mikhail, Raphael has not appeared in person in the series, so the appearance of her true form remains a mystery. All that is known of Raphael is that she is like Mikhail and possesses angel wings. She probably has blue eyes. Going by the appearance of Mikhail's true form, it is probable that Raphael's true form is much larger than an ordinary human. Considering that many other immortal beings in the series e.g. Verloren (Ayanami), Frau (Zehel) and Labrador (Profe) have pale skin, Raphael may have pale skin.
As she is a god, Raphael's appearance presumably does not show her true age.
Clothing.
It is likely that, like Mikhail, Raphael wears a visor, necklace and bracelet engraved with the symbol of the Barsburg cross, as well as plain white robes.
Personality.
Raphael can be as ruthless as Mikhail, as shown when she stabbed Nanase without a second thought, and like Mikhail, she is utterly devoted and fiercely loyal to her master. However, Raphael seems to be more emotional and affectionate than Mikhail, smiling more readily and crying quite easily (manga chapter 86), though she also calms down just as quickly, as shown when she stopped crying immediately after Mikhail commanded her to. She can be seen as somewhat childlike.
Relationships.
Vessels.
Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg.
Raphael apparently respects and is fond of Ouka, stating even that it was not enough to have had Dr. Nanase die easily when she could have torn him limb from limb (Vol 14 Chap 86 Page 07-08) for what he'd done, much as Mikhail respects and is fond of Teito.
Dalia Barsburg.
Dalia was the previous bearer of the Eye of Raphael before Ouka. Nothing is known about Dalia and Raphael's relationship so far; however, having been a bearer of the Eye of Raphael, Dalia presumably knew Raphael's abilities and personality. Raphael has not commented on Dalia's death.
According to Ayanami, it was Dalia who unsealed the Eye of Raphael, causing Ayanami to recover his memory as Verloren (manga chapters 91 and 98).
Other immortal beings.
Mikhail.
Raphael is shown to be very respectful towards Mikhail, calling him "Mikhail-sama" and crying when Mikhail voiced displeasure with her, which implies that she greatly values Mikhail's opinion of her. The two archangels seem fond of each other, as Mikhail once said that he wanted to destroy Raphael, but forgave Raphael after the latter overcame her brainwashing, and Raphael said that she was happy to see Mikhail in chapter 86.
Considering that both Mikhail and Raphael are immortal beings and presumably were already alive before the creation of the Seven Ghosts, it is probable that they have known each other for more than 1000 years. It is unknown if angels in the 07-Ghost universe regard each other as family. If so, Raphael and Mikhail can be considered relatives.
Verloren.
Little direct interaction has been shown between Raphael and Verloren, but since Raphael helps the Ghosts to oppose Verloren by sealing Verloren's memories through the Eye of Raphael, it is likely that Verloren hates Raphael as much as he hates the Ghosts. In Kapitel 90, Raphael, along with Ouka, prepares to fight Verloren, but Ouka is easily defeated and Ayanami, Verloren's current vessel, injures her. Raphael has probably known Verloren for a very long time, as they are both gods.
Seven Ghosts.
Unlike Mikhail, it seems that Raphael rarely interacts with the Ghosts, and little is known about her relationships with the Ghosts so far. She has known them for very long, being a fellow immortal being. In manga chapter 86, Raphael showed no surprise at Ea's presence, and seemed to understand the Ghost's intention immediately when she agreed with Mikhail that he (Ea) had something to tell Ouka, Raphael's master.
Eve.
Raphael has not been shown interacting with Eve, but it is likely that they knew each other, considering that both of them are gods. It can be assumed that as Eve was the Chief's daughter, Raphael respected her greatly. She also helped the Ghosts put down Verloren, Eve's murderer, implying that she at least cared for her enough to help avenging her.
Chief of Heaven.
Being an archangel, it is probable that Raphael knows the Chief of Heaven. Raphael's personal relationship with the latter has not been shown, but it is known that she is affiliated with him. Mikhael mentioned that the Chief of Heaven was most likely sympathetic for Raphael's situation, being that she was brainwashed for ten years.
Residents of the human world.
Unlike Mikhail, Raphael has never been shown commenting on humans, so her opinion of them is unclear. However, the fact that she killed Nanase could indicate that she shares Mikhail's indifference towards human life.
Teito Klein.
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.
Nanase.
When she was still brainwashed, Raphael was respectful towards Nananse and did her best to cooperate with Nanase in the scientist's experiments. After coming to her senses, Raphael was angry at Nanase for the pain the scientist had inflicted on Ouka and the other clones, and proceeded to stab him through the heart, killing him almost instantly.
Abilities and Attributes.
Immortality.
Being an archangel, Raphael has been alive for hundreds, possibly even thousands, of years.
Combat.
Raphael is acknowledged as being extremely powerful in the series universe, being an Archangel. The true extent of Raphael's power was shown during the Raggs War, as she was able to tear apart the earth and level forests. Raphael seals Verloren's memories through the Eye of Raphael. Raphael also had enough physical strength and speed to fatally injure Nanase before Nanase had a chance to defend himself or realise what was happening until it was too late.
While she is powerful, Raphael's powers may be limited if her vessel's soul has been moved to a weaker body, as shown in the fight between Ouka and Ayanami in Kapitel 91.
Like Mikhail, Raphael can create and control branch-like protusions from the area surrounding the Eye embedded in her vessel's right hand, and can use these branch-like protusions as a means of both defense and attack.
Flight.
Considering that Raphael's true form has wings, she may be able to fly when in her true form. She has been shown to be able to fly while possessing Ouka's body in Kapitel 99.
Mental.
Being an archangel, it is likely that Raphael can speak the language of the gods. She is apparently also able to speak human languages fluently as well, talking to Nanase in the Barsburg language. Like Mikhail, Raphael can possess her master without her master's permission, as shown when she possessed Ouka and killed Nanase without waiting for Ouka's permission.
Spiritual.
As she is an archangel, it is presumed that Raphael possesses knowledge of spiritual matters such as Pandora's Box and the existence of Hell, like the other immortal beings in the series.
When possessing a vessel.
As shown with Ouka, when Raphael possesses a vessel, her vessel's irises become blue, with slitted pupils like that of a cat or a snake.
History.
Before Raggs War.
Exactly how and when Raphael was born or created is unknown. At some point in time, the Archangels left Heaven and helped the Seven Ghosts defeat Verloren. Raphael then stayed in the mortal world and protected Barsburg through the Eye of Raphael, which was passed down through many generations of Barsburg empresses and empresses-to-be.
The Raphael Project.
Sometime before the Raggs war, Barsburg began conducting cloning and brainwashing experiments on the wielders of the Eye of Raphael.
Manga Synopsis.
In one of the chapters in the manga, when Teito tells Ouka about his true identity as the Prince of Raggs, the Eye of Raphael immediately activates and is about to attack Teito when Hakuren interrupts. The reason for the Eye's attack is later revealed to be a direct cause of "brainwashing" the Eye to eliminate all Raggs people. Raphael is last seen helping Ouka to heal Teito after Teito escapes from inside Verloren's body. After that, her whereabouts are unknown.

fandom.07ghost | # Razette
Razette is a minor protagonist and one of the few recurring female characters in the 07-Ghost series. She is a Noel Mermaid, and lives in the Church reservoir.
Razette is close to Bishop Castor and has known him for a long time, from when he was a human. She was resurrected by Castor (who became one of the Seven Ghosts), after taking her own life in grief over Castor's death (as a human), so she now shares half of his life force. She is mute (unable to speak), but can sing, and is the organist for the Church. Razette also works as one of the Church's nuns and is the only non-human nun there.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Razette is a Noel mermaid and as she has roughly the same height and build as Teito she can be estimated to be 5 foot 3 inches tall and weigh 43 kg. Razette has a very petite, slim build with a light blue fish-tail in place of legs when in water. However, when not submerged, Razette is able to transform her tail into a pair of legs with webbed feet. Around her hips she has a tuft of white fur, and the same white fur also on her chest and down her back. She also has long fins on her hips the same colour as her tail.
Strangely, when Razette is out of water, she has human-like legs and feet. Razette's face is round, having a peachy skin-tone, with large pink-purple eyes, a small nose, and a small mouth with full lips. Her hair is bright pink in colour, straight, and reaches her mid-back; she wears her fringe to the right and has two longer bangs to frame her face. Razette is considered very pretty in the series universe, with quite a few characters calling her so.
Her more aquatic features include fins in place of ears as well as webbed hands. In the manga, her appearance is distinctly more 'alien' than in the anime; in the manga, her forearms and wrists are rather bulky with long fins on them.
Razette's age is unknown, but she physically appears to be in her mid to late teens although it is likely that she is as old as, if not older than, Castor.
Clothing.
Due to her tail and the fur on her chest, Razette does not normally need to wear clothes other than the red bow worn around her neck, as she does not need to cover herself. However when playing the organ, Razette wears the attire of a nun (called a habit) which consists of a black tunic, a wimple over the tunic, and a white scapular over her shoulders. She also wears a solid veil on her head.
Personality.
Razette is a shy, quiet person with a very kind and helpful personality. She is nervous and flighty around strangers, but more sociable and friendly to those she likes. Loyal and clannish, while she sometimes hides from strangers, she is no stranger to confrontation- and can become aggressive when threatened. Razette cares deeply for and is very protective of her friends, especially Castor, as shown when she was willing to sacrifice herself in order for his life to be spared.
Razette can also be seen as playful, as she seems to enjoy startling people by changing her face to look like theirs. She is expressive-despite not being able to speak, she never has difficulty conveying meaning with facial expressions and gestures.
Relationships.
People from her past.
Castor.
Razette is very close to Castor. They have known each other since before Castor became a Ghost, and met when Castor freed Razette from the tank she had been kept in as a pet. The pair grew close over their shared sense of loneliness, and they have remained together ever since. Since their initial meeting, Razette has always been very grateful and kind to Castor, teaching him how to smile. Castor had once conspired that they escape the Hausen house and become performers, a puppet master and a songstress, and travel the world- with Razette being wiling to go.
Razette has very strong feelings for Castor, and may love him, but this has not been confirmed. At the very least, they see each other as close and dear friends.
Razette and Castor have been shown to care deeply for each other. Razette cared for Castor so much that she was willing to sacrifice her own life for him to live, and committed suicide when she believed Castor had been killed as she could not bear to live without him. Castor was willing to die so that Razette's life would be spared, although his father did not want him to die.
Peers.
Frau: Frau likes Razette due to his tendency to flirt with pretty girls, but in the anime Razette exhibits a fear of Frau, as she hides behind Teito when he says hello. In the manga, she is not afraid of him and they seem to be friendly towards each other but are not close.
Labrador: Razette and Labrador barely have any interaction but since they are both close friends of Castor with kind personalities, it is likely that they are on good terms.
Teito: Razette took an instant liking to Teito when she first saw him, despite the fact that she is normally very wary of strangers. Razette also once helped Teito when he wanted to rescue Frau after Frau had been imprisoned in Light Dungeon.
Liam: Razette appears to like Liam, as she once helped Liam to study for the Bishop's Apprentice Exam, and Liam appeared to be grateful for her help.
Hakuren Oak: Razette and Hakuren do not interact much but get along well. Once, when Razette changed her face to look like his, Hakuren commented that the face (i.e. his own face) is lovely. Although Hakuren dislikes women, he does not mind being around Razette, because he thinks that she is a child, not a lady.
Nuns: Razette gets along well with the other nuns of the Church. A couple of nuns were once worried about her when she looked unwell, and were relieved when they saw that she was all right.
Abilities and Attributes.
Razette is a talented organist and singer. Her music is said to "cleanse the soul".
Shapeshifting.
As a Noel mermaid, Razette is able to shapeshift - however this is limited to her face. Razette is able to freely change her face to resemble the faces of others, though it is unknown what the limitations of this ability are: how long she is able to do this for, and how much of a distance she is able to move from this person whilst still retaining their face.
Razette's scales have a special quality in that they allow an person to breathe underwater if ingested.
History.
Before meeting Castor.
Razette, as a Noel Mermaid, presumably was born and grew up in the mermaid's homeland.
At an unknown point in time, Razette had been taken from her home by poachers and sold to a rich family that kept her as a pet. She was confined to a tank too small for her and chained up so she could not escape. Shown bruised and bloodied and too scared to sing loudly, Razette was abused by her owners.
Pre Raggs War.
Whilst Castor was on a mission to prevent an assassination attempt on the King of Raggs's life, he and others arrived at the home of an enemy clansmen (the owner of Razette) and the ringleader was killed. As the building was being searched, Castor heard someone singing and he followed the noise till he found her singing sadly. After Razette had been freed, and her injuries tended to, Seilan noted how she had become very attached to Castor.
Consequences of the mission.
The consequences of the attempted assassination were discovered soon after: the gruesome mass suicides of the assassins' wives and children. Castor became visibly shaken by this, and hid in the room with Razette to compose himself. Razette saw his sadness, and singing did not help, so she changed her own face into Castor's, and then smiled. Castor was distraught at first, as he had never smiled himself but Razette calmed him and through her friendship, Castor learnt how to smile. Dolls looking like Razette began appearing in his work-room. Castor said it was because Razette wanted friends, though Seilan didn't believe him.
Castor's inheritance.
Though the date of Xing-lu's inheritance was drawing nearer, he admitted to Razette that he had no interest of becoming the new Head of the House. Castor instead wished to become a puppet master, and he shared with her his dream of them travelling the world together as performers.
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.
Post-Raggs War.
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.
Castor's father, Xingfa Hausen, was outraged at the idea. He organised a plan to save his son; proposing that 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, having agreed to die in Castor's place, 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, and as he took his final breath, Castor looked up to see the God of the Hausen House, Fest, standing before him.
Razette was devastated at Castor's death and committed suicide by stabbing herself in the heart. However, her soul refused to leave her body, and it was later found by Castor- who after being reincarnated as Fest, returned to the place of his death and discovered her body. Castor used his new Ghost ability to tie their souls together, bringing Razette back to life by letting her share his life force. The two of them moved to the Barsburg Church to start a new life, and Razette began living in the Church reservoir, eventually becoming the Church organist.
Manga synopsis.
Meeting Teito.
Razette is first introduced when Teito falls into the Church fountain. As Teito sinks she swims towards him and changes her face to resemble his which frightens him (Teito). Castor introduces her to Teito, and she takes an instant liking to him. When Frau arrives and greets her, she hides behind Teito (this only occurs in the anime), which makes Frau slightly annoyed, as Razette is still shy around him despite him knowing her longer than Teito.
Upon Castor's request, she leads Teito to Mikage's room.
Mikage's death.
Razette is playing the organ during mass and the sound of it triggers a memory inside Teito to reveal itself. She continues to play as Mikage attacks Teito.
Frau's arrest.
When Frau has been framed for the mutilation of several criminals who were seeking sanctuary within the Church grounds and imprisoned, Razette appears before Teito and changes her face to one like Frau in order to shown Teito that she knows where he is.
Razette then swims underwater, with Teito following closely, to lead Teito to his (Frau's) cell, which is located in an underwater dungeon. When Teito begins to struggle, as he cannot hold his breath any longer, Razette gives him one of her scales to eat, which allows him to breathe underwater and they continue to Frau's cell.
Bastien's death.
Following Bastien's death, Razette discovers a young Evie Tree growing in the Church garden. Knowing this is Bastien's reincarnation, she gives it to Labrador.
Hausen House.
Once Castor travels to the Hausen House to give Teito the Cursed Ticket she takes care of the human body he left behind. She welcomes him when he returns.
Later, when Ayanami fights against Castor and Labrador in the Church, he briefly appears to attack Razette, but when Castor checks on her, she is clearly unharmed.
Razette does not actively participate in the storyline again after this, but she does make a cameo when Teito thinks of the people he cares about.
Differences in the manga and anime.
Appearance.
In the manga, Razette's appearance is distinctly more 'alien' than in the anime; in the manga, her forearms and wrists are bulky with long fins on them. In the anime, her forearms are completely human with no fins.
Fear of Frau.
In the anime, when Frau talks to her, she hides from him behind Teito. In the manga, she has no such fear.
Early 07-Ghost.
Razette was originally intended to be one of the Seven Ghosts and a main character. She was also human, and could speak. This idea was dropped in the finalized series.

Kapitel 13: Reconciliation between Teito & Burupyaテイトとブルピャの仲直り "Teito to Burupya no nakanaori "
| Reconciliation between Teito & Burupya |
fandom.07ghost | # Relikt
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
and for the manga chapter, see Kapitel 42.
Relikt is one of the Seven Ghosts in the 07 Ghost series. He is the bequeathing spirit and can look into a person's past to find out what happened to them, or what they have done, in the past.
There is a statue of Relikt in one of the seven Ghost towers in the Barsburg Church. It is currently unknown what people pray to the statue for, but considering Relikt's ability, they may pray for Relikt to shed light on or clarify something that happened in the past.
Etymology.
The German word 'Relikt' translates to 'relic'. Relic in Latin translates to something that remains or something that is left behind, which is a clear description of Relikt's Ghost ability.
Form.
Relikt'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 Relikt can be reincarnated as Relikt, those acting as Relikt tend to resemble each other. Those from Relikt's bloodline tend to be tall with a slim build. Like many other nobles in the series, they have fair skin and fine, light-colored (usually blonde) hair. Their eye colour is usually light. They also tend to have long bottom eye-lashes (though Lance did not) and tend to wear earrings (though Raggs War Relikt did not). Their faces can be considered seductive and look like a fox (especially when they smile).
Symbol.
Relikt's Ghost symbol is green and appears to be a tilting-spear, as it has the signature diamond blade and large but. It also appears to be some sort of scythe too, with a curved blade extending from the right side and twisting clockwise to reach the left side.
Personality.
Relikt can be either a dramatic (Lance) or a composed (Raggs War Relikt) Ghost.
Abilities and attributes.
The Seven Ghosts all possess the ability to erase or otherwise alter a person's memories. Like the other Ghosts, Relikt can make his true forms 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 Relikt has the ability to look into a persons memories and see the events that took place in their past.
Once Relikt goes back to look at the past, the time will pass by at the same rate as the present. Hence, if he stays in the past for one week, he will also be losing one week in the present. This is the limitation of his powers.
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.
Relikt went on to become the progenitor of the Oak 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 (Relikt 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, who's reincarnation was killed by Ayanami and devoured by Verloren.
The remaining six, however, escaped with their lives.
Modern history.
In manga chapter 78, Relikt was devoured by the reincarnation of Verloren.
| Relikt |
fandom.07ghost | # Rena
Rena is a minor character in the 07-Ghost series. She is a young noblewoman currently served by Capella and his mother Rutia.
Etymology.
'Rena' is a feminine given name of Hebrew origin that means 'melody'. 'Rena' can also be a derivative of 'Irene', a Greek name that means 'peace'.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Rena is of average height and slim. Her hair is long and dark, with curled, shoulder-length bangs, a full fringe, and a crown plait. She has large, dark eyes, a small, upturned nose, and a round face. As she is a noble, she probably has pale skin.
Clothing.
She wears a ruffled coat of an unknown light colour over a long dress of the same colour. She also wears small, round earrings, and a small, circular decoration on her collarbone.
Personality.
Rena is kind, calm, courteous and friendly, though she appears more irritable and mischievous around Elikt. She can also be seen as forgiving, as she was not angered by the treachery of her uncle, aunt and Nyx. Rena enjoys eating, as shown when she blushed and sparkles were seen around her when she ate a jam that Rutia had made.
Relationships.
Her servants.
Rena gets along well with Rutia and Elikt, and they are loyal to her. At first, Rutia was hired to impersonate Rena's mother, in order to trick Rena's uncle Ugur and his wife. However, Rena continued to employ Rutia after Ugur and his wife found out that Rena's mother was dead.
Nyx appeared to also be a loyal servant of Rena's at first, but he was revealed to be conspiring with Ugur. Rena did not appear to bear any ill will towards Nyx for what he had done.
Her family.
As with Nyx, Rena was not angry at her uncle and aunt for their crimes, and addressed her uncle as 'ojisama' (lit. honourable uncle-sama), showing that she respected him despite what he had done.
Rena appeared to have been close to her deceased mother, and was determined to fulfill her mother's dying wish.
Teito and Frau.
Rena got along fairly well with Teito and Frau in the brief time they spent together.
History.
Early childhood.
Rena was born into a wealthy noble family. Her mother and maternal grandmother were both owners of the Almarz Residence, the estate being handed down through generations of the maternal line of the Almarz Family. Nothing is known about her father.
Her mother's death.
Rena's mother suddenly died one day, due to poisoning. She asked Rena to protect her (Rena's) grandmother's land, namely, the Almarz Residence and the land surrounding it. Elikt concealed Rena's mother's death and, on the slave market, bought Rutia, who bears a coincidental resemblance to Rena's mother. Rutia began wearing a wig and disguised herself as Rena's mother, while waiting for Rena to turn 15 and inherit the position of Head of the family.
Manga synopsis.
Rena is first seen witnessing the commotion of her servants attempting to make Capella, Teito and Frau leave. She is shocked upon seeing Frau shirtless (Elikt had demanded that Capella, Teito and Frau be stripped of everything they had) but quickly calms down. Teito explains that he, Frau and Capella are searching for Capella's mother, Rutia. Once she understands the situation, Rena invites them in and reveals that Rutia is indeed working in the Almarz Residence, but asks them to wait one more day and explains why.
Later, the Kor controlling Ugur reverses time in the Almarz Residence. Frau eventually defeats the Kor and manages to restore the time within the Almarz Residence to a normal state. When Ugur, his wife and Nyx are arrested by the Imperial Guard, she tells Ugur to repent for his sin under the imperial trial, and watches the Imperial Guard escort the three criminals off her estate.
Rena is next seen sampling some jam Rutia had made and exclaiming over it. Her last appearance in the series is seeing Teito and Frau off alongside her servants and Capella; they all bow as Teito's and Frau's Hawkzile departs.
| Rena |
fandom.07ghost | # Rena's Mother
She is the deceased mother of Rena and was the previous owner of the Almarz Residence. She was murdered via poisoning by her sister-in-law, Ugur's wife, and trusted Rena to protect the Almarz Residence from the greedy clutches of Ugur's wife, Ugur and Nyx.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Coincidentally, she bears a great resemblance to Rutia, who successfully impersonated her. Rena's mother appeared to have long hair, narrow eyes, an average height and a thin build.
Clothing.
Like many other noblewomen in the series, she wore a long, formal dress.
Personality.
From what little has been shown of her, she demonstrated a loyal and caring personality through her faith in her daughter and determination to protect her family's estate.
Relationships.
Rena.
She was shown to greatly trust her daughter, and Rena was visibly distraught at her death, indicating that they loved each other and probably had a good relationship.
Ugur's Wife.
Her sister-in-law and killer. Ugur's wife evidently hated her, though whether the hatred was mutual or one-sided is unknown.
Ugur.
He shared his wife's desire to kill Rena's mother, which suggests that he also hated her.
Her mother.
She seems to have a great deal of respect for her mother, as her dying wish was for Rena to protect Almarz Residence.
Lyon, Sada and Oole.
The details of her relationships with them are unknown, but they appeared to be angry and perturbed at the thought of Ugur killing her and taking Almarz Residence for himself.
History.
Rena's mother is one of five offspring born to Rena's maternal grandparents. She grew up (presumably in Almarz Residence) alongside her siblings and inherited the Residence when her mother died. At some point in time, she gave birth to Rena, whose father's identity was not shown or stated, and lived to see Rena grow almost old enough to inherit the Residence.
Manga synopsis.
She is briefly seen in a flashback when Rena explains the need for Rutia to impersonate her (Rena's mother). It is revealed that she died of poisoning, and the culprit is her brother Ugur's wife. Rena's mother's last words were addressed to Rena, telling her to protect "Grandmother's land". Her death was concealed by Elikt for a while.

fandom.07ghost | # Restraints
Restraints are any type of device that limits or prevents freedom of movement. They are used freely within the Barsburg Empire.
Chains.
They are comprised of two cuffs linked together by a very long chain. Each half has a rotating arm which engages with a ratchet that prevents it from being opened once closed around a person's wrist. Without a key, the handcuffs cannot be removed. They are attached to both wrists and ankles.
Unlike with most handcuffs, the link chain is long enough to allow movement of the arms and legs, as Teito was shown to be able to run and do several acrobatic stunts whilst wearing them. It's possible they inhibit movement by creating a tripping hazard.
Uses.
The 1st District uses chains on prisoners and sklaves alike.
Synopsis.
Teito is first put in chains after he attempts to kill the army's Chief of Staff, Ayanami. The chains are removed when a Promise collar (see below) is placed on him, signalling he has been bought.
Chains identical to these ones were seen on Capella when Teito and Frau later escaped to Ria. A shop-owner, upon seeing the chains, refused entry to Capella on the grounds un-bought sklaves are preventing from entering privately-owned establishments. Teito broke the chains in anger.
Cuffs.
Criminal cuffs.
A special sort of non-restrictive cuffs appears in the Barsburg Church to be worn by criminals. The cuffs themselves appear to be more of an indicator and warning to residents of the district that the person wearing them has a criminal history.
In District 7 their design has been altered so they do not limit the wearer's movements, but instead appear to be used to warn those around them that they were criminals. Due to the similar design of these cuffs and those from the 1st District, it is unknown if those in the 7th District manufacture them, or simply do not remove the cuff from those criminals who have fled District 1.
Synopsis.
The cuffs have been spotted on several criminals in the Church, Aldo being one of them.
Collars.
In the Seven Ghosts chapter, Labrador has said that the collars themselves come in many different styles with each one offering a different form of punishment.
Promise collar.
The promise collar is a form of collar that, when entered into a blood contract, allows a master to be able to control the wearer through negative reinforcement. It is, so far, the only type of collar shown in the series.
In appearance, the promise collar is a dull purple colour with silver lining around the face of the collar, and a white band running through which makes up the clasp. The collar's most distinctive feature is the large, yellow eye in the centre and the small mouth underneath it which it uses to bite it's master to enter a contract.
The promise collar enters into a contract by blood, when a person is bitten by the collar and the collar tastes the person's blood. Castor has said that only the Imperial army can remove the collars. If the master's voice is not heard by the collar in 48 hours, the collar will explode- killing the wearer.
When the master dies, the wearer is no longer bound by their commands- and the collar will lie dormant until it finds a new master. They are specifically designed to be impossible to remove by anyone other than their manufacturer.
Uses.
The collar itself has three commands: bind, sleep, and pain. 'Bind' temporarily disables the wearer so that they are unable to move for a certain amount of time, 'sleep' forces the wearer to sleep, and 'pain' causes the wearer to feel pain.
Synopsis.
When Mikage, possessed by Ayanami at the time, and Teito fight on the bridge of trials in the Church, Mikage puts a promise collar on Teito. When the battle ends, Frau notices the collar and tries to pull it off, but during this he gets bitten by the collar, by which he becomes Teito's master accidentally.
In manga chapter 70, Ayanami captures Teito again and takes him back to the military. In chapter 71, Teito is seen without the promise collar. However, when Lance infiltrates the military, Teito is later seen with a different promise collar on, and a new master.
Chain of oath choker.
The chain of oath chocker appears in the Seven Ghosts pilot chapter. It appears connected to the chains, as when the collar recognised a master the chains binding the subject opened.
The collar looks much like a dog collar. It is rather simple in design, save for an eye and mouth engraved into the metal of the choker. It has a link attached to the front of the collar so a chain or leash can be attached.
The collar does not need to taste blood for a contract to be made. Simply pressing the collar's face is enough for the collar to recognise the master's full name and voice. It is unknown how it does it. If the choker does not hear its master's voice in 24 hours, the collar will explode- killing the wearer.
Uses.
The collar forces the wearer to obey its master by turning them into a young dragon if they refuse to carry out an order. The wearer will return to normal when their full name is said.
Synopsis.
In the Seven Ghosts pilot chapter, the collar was placed on Teito by the military after he attempted to kill Ayanami, and he was already wearing the collar when he arrived at the Church. After the battle with Lloyd, Frau attempted to remove the collar and it bit him, making him the master.
In Kapitel 64, a sklave owned by Granne was seen wearing a collar similar to this one, with the leash attached.
Other.
Labrador has said that there are many different types of collar. There are some that send electric shocks through the wearer, and some that tighten and choke the wearer when they disobey.

fandom.07ghost | # Reuen Family
The Reuen (sometimes alternatively spelled as Royen or Ryan) Family are the descendants of the God House of Landkarte. Thus, members of the Reuen Family can be reincarnated as Landkarte.
In a flashback, Katsuragi appeared to wear a long, white, embroidered robe with full-length sleeves. This could mean that members of the Reuen family wear such clothing. However, Katsuragi was wearing the robe while partaking in a religious ceremony, so it is also possible that such clothing is not typically worn by the Reuens, and only donned on special occasions.

fandom.07ghost | # Ria
The Port of Ria or just Ria is the northernmost city of the 7th District, and, once crossed, leads to the former East corner of the Raggs Kingdom.
Ria seems very industrialised compared to the conservative Barsburg Church and has been depicted in the manga to use slaves for manual labour (though obviously this was something forbidden by the Church).
Culture.
It is a large and rather busy city which makes money mostly through tourism, circuses and shows, as well as trading a variety of items with the other Districts that attracts merchants from all over the Barsburg Empire.
The city also advertises more shady activities such as escorts, or possibly prostitutes, and the slave trade. Many people in Ria wear cloaks and hoods to cover their faces, suggesting the city is known for its shady dealings.
Law.
Slavery is legal in Ria. It is legal to beat slaves, and un-bought slaves are unable to enter privately owned buildings.
Description.
Ria appears rather old and Victorian in design with most of its buildings made of stone, decorated with tracery of the same material and having small windows. Its street lamps are likewise rather old fashioned, being lit manually once night fell.
Where scenery is concerned, Ria is drastically different from the Barsburg Church whose buildings are widely spaced. Ria appears to be tightly packed, the houses being small and close together, with the only space provided mostly for narrow alleyways.
Towards the centre of Ria however, the buildings gradually thin out, and the streets provide more space for large transports and vehicles like slave trucks. There are several large buildings resembling multi-story carparks that have no doors but large archways leading inside them. There are also several bridges that lead to higher floors in place of stairs.
Exterior.
Repair shop.
The repair shop is directly connected to the city of Ria.
It appears to be one of the city's main distinctions where people who cross to District 6 stop by to have repairs on Hawkziles and other such transportation. Only one mechanic was shown when Frau and Teito wanted to have their Hawkzile repaired, but it is likely there are more.
Whereas the majority of buildings in Ria are made of stone, the repair shop is metallized and very 'modern-looking'. It is depicted in the manga as a massive industrial centre, similar to a construction site, with enormous metal pillars that have platforms extending from the sides. It also has several protruding metal structures that resemble car parks, this presumably being where the Hawkziles are kept.
Passage gates.
The passage gates appear as a thin, rectangular structure with several, large arch-shaped doors lining the walls, each having a staircase to the left, which leads to a lookout post for a guard or two. Above these doors is lettering, most likely saying the name of the town that gate leads to. En route to the Sixth District, Frau and Teito with Capella crossed through these gates in the slave trader named Carl's slave truck.

fandom.07ghost | # Ribidzile
A Ribidzile (リビドザイル "Ribidozairu") is a first-class military aircraft in Barsburg. Similar to the Hawkzile, it appears to be a species of dragon wearing armour, only it is many times bigger. The dragon used for the Ribidzile resembles that of a Fyulong, only black in colour.
Overview.
The Ribidzile is used for carrying large numbers of soldiers to any given location, it being unknown how many soldiers these ships can carry but the figure is estimated to be in the triple digits.
The Ribidzile, being designed for travel but also for war, has been shown to be fitted with turrets, and can fire rockets. The Ribidzile also has several open areas for firing Zaiphon at soldiers below, as seen during the Antwort War.
Description.
The Ribidzile has three main parts: the bridge and two areas either side of the main fuselage for troops. The bridge (where look-out is kept and where the pilots operate from) with its large windscreen also functions as the navigation room and appears to be over the dock. The Ribidzile itself is a pale grey, with a decorative, golden pattern painted onto each wing.
Due to the aircraft's massive size and weight, there are ample features to assist the dragon in keeping it aloft such as the presence of two yellow thrusters under each wing that help it take off, and four smaller jet engines.
Gun turrets face forward, so far as we know, and fire from the leading edge of either wing.
Bridge.
The bridge has two platforms. It is very spacious with dark blue walls and floor, and many pipes going through the floor that appear to direct the aircraft's energy, making them a luminous yellow colour. On the first, lowest platform, there is a large contol panel before the pilots' window with many circular controls and they too are luminous yellow, meaning they also contain energy (the type of energy is unknown).
On the second, middle platform, accessed by a staircase at either side, there is a single table where the soldiers are able to rest, eat and drink.
The navigation room.
This is one of the highest points on the Ribidzile, and is accessed by two ladders on each side. The navigation room is equally large and has a screen set into the floor. This usually shows a luminous grid, which is used to map out the area below, and is also able to direct Zaiphon when cast over it, as seen during the Antwort War.
The second platform is virtually empty, save for a large, guilded throne in which Ayanami sits.
| Ribidzile |
fandom.07ghost | # Ribidzile Dragon
The Ribidzile Dragon is the dragon that flies the Ribidzile, one of the primary methods of transport for members of the military. Unlike the Hawkzile, which is supported by the Wendi Skyrunner, the animal that the Ribidzile is built on has so far remained nameless. It appears to be a common species of dragon, as many have been seen being used by the military.
Anatomy.
The Ribidzile dragon is covered with black fur, has feathered wings, and is massive in size, being many times larger than the Wendi skyrunner but of similar size to the Fyulong dragon, and having a similar long, thin body. The Ribidzile dragon also resembles the Fyulong in the appearance of its face, bearing the same long snout and large teeth, with the teeth of the top jaw extending over the bottom jaw. However, they lack the horns and mane possessed by the Fyulong and also have different tails, the Fyulongs having tails similar to lions, whereas the tail of the Ribidzile dragon is much more bird-like. However, upon closer inspection, they have the bulbous throats of the Wendi skyrunner, suggesting they may be a closely related species, or indeed the adult form.
Temperament.
The behaviour of the Ribidzile dragon is virtually unknown, but their choice as a war vehicle suggests they are creatures that are undisturbed by loud noises and bright lights, and unconfused by multiple, moving objects.
Ecology.
Ribidzile dragons probably live in, or at least can survive in, highly industrialised and human-occupied areas.

fandom.07ghost | # Rinka Celestine
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!Rinka Celestine is a minor character in the 07-Ghost series. She is Mikage Celestine's younger sister and only known female relative. Unbeknownst to her, she was used to blackmail Mikage into hunting Teito. In the anime, she was seen briefly in photos and illusions/flashbacks. In the manga, she first appears in chapter 75 with one of her brothers, Kohaku.
Etymology.
In Japanese, 'phosphorous light' is pronounced as 'rinka', and 'apatite' is pronounced as 'rinka seki' (seki means stone).
'Celestine' is a name of English and French origins that means 'heavenly'.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
In the anime, Rinka resembles Mikage in appearance, having the same facial features. She has a round face with fair skin and a small mouth and nose. She has large eyes; what colour they are is unknown but it is possible that they are gold like her brother's. In the anime, her hair is blonde like her brother's, long enough to reach her mid-back, and worn in pigtails, with a full fringe and two longer bangs at each side of her face. She was twice described as being cute.
In the manga, she does not wear pigtails, but wears her hair down. Her bangs are short, just reaching her eyebrows. She also wears a band or a tiara on her head. She is about a head shorter than Kohaku, Mikage's younger brother. (manga chapter 75) She, Kohaku, Kokuyou, and Mikage all have the same gold color eyes, and her hair is pink. (vol13 Contents page)
Clothing.
In the anime, she is first seen wearing a plain red dress, with a white apron tied round her waist with a large bow at the back and a white shawl around her shoulders.
In the manga, she is first seen in black, probably because the Oak Family is mourning Wakaba Oak's death. Her dress is laced and has a big ribbon tied behind her back. On her white scarf, there is a symbol of the church (probably because the Oak Family is a God House).
Personality.
She appeared to have been a happy girl before her brother's death, as she was seen smiling in the photo with her brother, but she was later seen in a flashback/illusion crying. When seen, she was shown to be friendly and polite, as she was laughing while waiting to see her brother.
In the manga, she is shown to be kind, and tries to make Teito feel welcome.
Relationships.
Mikage.
She obviously loved Mikage as she was shown to be very upset when he died. In the photo Mikage had of them, she was smiling and clutching him tightly.
Kohaku.
Kohaku is very protective of Rinka. He has voiced his support of a romantic relationship between Rinka and Teito.
Teito.
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.
History.
Early childhood.
Rinka was born to Karein Celestine and an unknown mother. She is the youngest of the four Celestine siblings, as well as the only daughter of the family. The Celestine family appears to be an average working-class family native to Barsburg. Shuri Oak comments that at least one of her parents works for the wealthy Oak family, and Mikage himself says that he is from a family of stewards (manga chapter 7).
Manga Synopsis.
Rinka is first shown in a photograph when Mikage is being interrogated by Ayanami about his involvement with Teito's escape. Ayanami implies to Mikage that he will kill his sister if Mikage does not reveal the whereabouts of Teito, but she is later seen laughing while waiting to see her brother, having been treated with cakes instead.
Even though Mikage chose Teito over his sister, she is later shown unharmed in an illusion that Teito sees, in which she cries after her brother's death and blames Teito for his death as Mikage got involved in Teito's trouble, and wishes that Teito was the one who had died instead, much to Teito's immense guilt and emotional pain. However, it is likely that this was just a false illusion to make Teito give in to emotional blackmail.
Rinka appears along with her father and remaining brothers at the Oak House before and during Wakaba Oak's funeral. She talks about a Kokujyuseki statue with Buran, who tries to kill her so he can add her to his "collection". Rinka is rescued by her brother Kohaku and Teito. She is last seen searching for Teito when Ayanami takes him back to the Barsburg palace.

fandom.07ghost | # Riria
Riria is a minor antagonist who only appeared in the Drama CD The Love Letter Which God Receives.
Appearance.
Since Riria's only appearance in the series is in a drama CD, her physical appearance remains unknown.
Personality.
Riria was kind and welcoming at first. As a Kor, she was aggressive. Her personality reverted to how it originally was after Frau purified her soul.
Relationships.
Her lover: Riria apparently cared deeply for her lover. She became corrupted by a Kor because she longed for her lover to return to her.
History.
She was obsessed with reuniting with her deceased lover, and when she saw Hakuren, believed that he was her dead lover. Riria made a wish to a Kor to have Hakuren stay with her forever, but Frau eventually destroyed the Kor that had possessed her, and she aged rapidly after the Kor was destroyed (the Kor had kept her physically young). Teito suggested that she write a letter to her lover every day, and she agreed to do so.
Drama CD synopsis.
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.

fandom.07ghost | # Rosalie
Rosalie is a minor character in the 07-Ghost anime series. She does not appear in the manga. Rosalie is one of three recurring nuns who work in the Barsburg Church doing odd jobs, such as cooking, cleaning, and manual labour, and is often seen together with Libelle and Athena. Out of the three sisters, Sister Rosalie appears to be the youngest one, and is recognised by her blonde hair and amber eyes.
Etymology.
'Rosalie' can mean 'rose', 'rose garden', or 'little rose'. In the anime, due to the non-existence of the letter L in the Japanese language, Rosalie's name is pronounced like 'rosary', which is a term used to describe both a sequence of prayers and a string of prayer beads used to count the prayers in Catholicism.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Rosalie physically appears younger than both Sister Libelle and Sister Athena, but it is unknown if she really is the youngest of the trio. Despite appearing to be the youngest of the Sisters, Rosalie is taller than Athena (but shorter than Libelle) and appears to be around the height of five foot six inches, with a slender build. Rosalie has a very round face, the roundest of the sisters' faces, with chubby cheeks, a small up-turned nose, a small mouth with full lips and large amber-coloured eyes. Her hair, from what can be seen, is a little wavy and a golden blonde in colour. Her hair colour and eye colour coincidentally make her look somewhat like Mikage Celestine and Konatsu Warren, though she is probably not related to either of them.
Rosalie can also be seen as very pretty, as Mikage and several examinees comment on her "cuteness".
Clothing.
Sister Rosalie is always seen in her Church wear, which consists of a black tunic, and a white wimple over the tunic over her head and shoulders.
Personality.
Rosalie is a very kind and caring person, always willing to go out of her way in order to help someone if they have a problem. Out of the three sisters, Rosalie is the quietest and most mild mannered, very rarely talks back to anyone, and does not like to discipline others when they have done something wrong. She is the most composed of the trio.
Rosalie smiles most of the time, tries to laugh when she does something embarrassing or silly, like tripping over, and often seems quite naive. However, despite this, Rosalie was the only sister that suspected Frau was one of the Seven Ghosts, indicating that she is perceptive. Rosalie is also very clumsy, often tripping and dropping things.
Relationships.
Libelle.
Rosalie is easily intimidated by Libelle's personality, but often relies on Libelle to look after her due to her clumsiness
Athena.
Rosalie and Athena get along well, with Athena sometimes looking after Rosalie
Teito Klein.
Like Libelle and Athena, Rosalie is kind and caring towards Teito.Rosalie always polite and gentle to Teito.
History.
Much of Rosalie's history is unknown. At some point in her life, she joined the Barsburg Church and became a nun. She has worked there for more than five years, as she remembers the time when Frau and Castor took the Bishop's apprentice exam.
Abilities and Attributes.
Rosalie is physically the strongest of the sisters, being able to drag a four-poster bed around, and carry a trunk with minimal effort. She also appears to be the most perceptive of the trio.
Anime synopsis.
Meeting Teito.
Rosalie plays a relatively minor role in the anime and she is first seen when Teito is brought to the Church by Frau. She, along with the two other Sisters, takes Teito back to his room after they find him lying on the ground, him (Teito) having fainted, and gives him medicine, food and drink. Rosalie is later seen in the dining room of the Church, where she has prepared Teito's food. Rosalie quizzes Teito about his life outside the Church, but then stops when Teito refuses to answer.
Introduction of Razette.
Rosalie is next seen outside when she is doing the laundry with the other Sisters when she trips over something and drops everything she was carrying, leading Libelle to scold her. The three nuns perform in a play for the Church and are briefly interrupted by Tajio, who is then taken away by Mikage and Teito.
During the Bishop exam, Sister Rosalie monitors the dormitories of the examinees to make sure they get to bed on time, along with the other two Sisters, Libelle and Athena. During one of their shifts she enters a room where two examinees are messing around and falls flat on her face.
When the Imperial Army infiltrates the Church to look for the host of the Eye of Mikhail, Rosalie is there with the other sisters looking after the hostages and helping to calm them by preaching to them.

fandom.07ghost | # Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg
Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg, often known as simply Ouka, is the current Empress-to-be of the Barsburg Empire and the current host of the Eye of Raphael. She is the only major female character, and one of the few recurring female characters, in the series.
Ouka is first introduced as a princess who has run away from home to escape her unhappy home life, and who wants to become a doctor. Later in the series, it was revealed that as a child, her original body died in an experiment on the Eye of Raphael, and her soul was moved by Karu into a vessel that the scientists conducting the experiment had made. Ouka was then brainwashed and forced to attack the kingdom of Raggs, but overcame the brainwashing years later with the help of Teito and the Eye of Mikhail.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Ouka resembles Teito in build, making her weight about 43 kg. She is only slightly taller than Teito, making her height about 160 cm. Her face is oval-shaped, save for a slightly pointy chin, with a small mouth, full lips, and large eyes that vary in colour, being shown as pink, pinkish purple or wine red. As she is a member of royalty, she probably has pale skin.
Her hair is wavy, so long that it almost reaches her feet, varies in colour, being shown as light purple (cover of Vol. 14), light blue (cover page of manga chapter 96), light pink or silvery-white, and usually either worn in pigtails or simply worn loose and unstyled. She bears a fairly strong resemblance to her mother, but little resemblance to her father.
As a child, Ouka had short hair.
She may be generally considered to have attractive eyes within the series universe.
Clothing.
As a princess, Ouka is usually seen wearing long, formal gowns. In her first appearance, she wore dark winter clothing with lace detailing at the sleeve cuffs and hem. She was next seen in a long, light-coloured formal gown with a high collar, and her pigtails were held in dark, triangular ornaments with long tassels hanging from the ends.
She owns a pair of earrings which she inherited from her mother, one of which is now in Teito's possession as she gave it to him as a thank-you gift.
When undergoing experiments on the Eye of Raphael, she wore a short, plain, thin, light-coloured nightgown.
For a while, Ouka wore Teito's soldier's overcoat, as Teito had draped it over her shoulders to keep her warm when she was emotionally distraught.
On the cover of volume 14, she appears to wear thigh-high stockings.
Personality.
Despite most members of the Barsburg royal family being shown to be pompous and elitist, Ouka's personality is drastically different. She has been shown to have no interest in the activities those from the upper classes normally engage in, such as watching slaves fight, or owning a slave herself (manga chapter 64).
Ouka herself believes that the Barsburg royal family is corrupt, and because of this was initially unwilling to carry on the royal line by accepting her position as the next empress. Ouka instead wished to become a doctor, showing her kind and empathetic nature, which is reflected by her healing Zaiphon. She is very concerned with the feelings of those around her, telling one of her aunts that she (her aunt) should not do anything that tramples on a person's dignity.
Ouka is also courageous, as shown by her determination to fight Ayanami/Verloren by herself. When she is being possessed by Raphael, she can be seen as ruthless, as she did not hesitate to kill Nanase while being possessed by the Eye of Raphael.
Abilities and Attributes.
Zaiphon.
Healing Zaiphon: Ouka has a healing Zaiphon, which reflects her kind personality and wish to be a doctor. Her Zaiphon is remarked to be very powerful, as when she gave it to Teito, he almost fainted from the concentration.
Possession of the Eye of Raphael: Raphael recognises Ouka as his true master, and using the Eye of Raphael grants Ouka access to Raphael's formidable powers. However, although Raphael recognises Ouka as his true master, manga chapter 91 revealed that because her body is inferior to that of the original by 0.03 % (according to Ayanami), she is unable to win against Verloren's reincarnation (Ayanami).
Hand to hand combat: While she lacks formal training in self-defense, she was able to defend herself against a loanshark who wanted to extort money from her, and held her own against Ayanami for a short while before he knocked her unconscious.
Stamina: Ouka possesses a fairly large amount of stamina. She recovered quickly after Dr Nanase attempted to strangle her, and after Ayanami knocked her out.

fandom.07ghost | # Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg/History
Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg, often known as simply Ouka, is the current Empress-to-be of the Barsburg Empire and the current host of the Eye of Raphael. She is the only major female character, and one of the few recurring female characters, in the series.
Ouka is first introduced as a princess who has run away from home to escape her unhappy home life, and who wants to become a doctor. Later in the series, it was revealed that as a child, her original body died in an experiment on the Eye of Raphael, and her soul was moved by Karu into a vessel that the scientists conducting the experiment had made. Ouka was then brainwashed and forced to attack the kingdom of Raggs, but overcame the brainwashing years later with the help of Teito and the Eye of Mikhail.
History.
Early childhood.
Ouka was born into the royal lineage of the Barsburg family, and is the only child of the late Empress Dalia Barsburg and Emperor Wolfram Eifeler Barsburg. When Ouka was still an infant, Empress Dalia died and Ouka inherited the Eye of Raphael.
Raggs War.
During the Raggs War, Ouka's original body died and Ea (Karu) moved her soul into the vessel the scientists had made (OR-0007). In her new body, Ouka was used to attack and destroy the Kingdom of Raggs, though she could not remember having done it as Barsburg used their advanced technology to brainwash and control her. Because the scientists thought she was merely a clone, Doctor Nanase said that she could not move without the Eye of Raphael in her (because he thought she had no soul).
Manga Synopsis.
Krat House.
Ouka first appeared when she escaped from the palace, evading Gyokuran, Ohruri and Kikune, and went for a walk on her own. Teito showed her around town and they got kidnapped. They stumbled onto the Krat House of God and defeated the Wars, Lem. Frau rescued them (with Capella) and Teito gave Ouka a handmade stuffed toy before he left.
As Teito was leaving, the brainwashed Eye of Raphael activated and tried to attack him, but the arrival of Gyokuran, Ohruri, Kikune and Hakuren Oak brought her back to her senses. Ouka then returned to the palace.
Hawkzile race.
Ouka was a spectator at the Hawkzile race and witnessed Teito's progress in the race, though they did not get a chance to speak to each other.
Battle at Hohburg Fortress.
She had her birthday ball just as someone tried to assassinate her. She was rescued by Teito (who was already brainwashed at that time) and slow danced with him. She tried to help him regain his memories and offered to let him use her personal aircraft to escape, but was interrupted when the assassin appeared. Teito saved her and the chandelier fell on top of him. She was devastated and wanted to search for him, but was pulled away by Gyokuran before she could do so.
In manga chapter 83, Ouka and Teito were reunited after Teito rescued her from another session of brainwashing of the Eye of Raphael. A short while later, they stumbled across a laboratory filled with machines containing several clones of Ouka. The Emperor then came in without Teito and Ouka hearing him, and ordered Ouka to kill Teito. Ouka had no choice but to obey, caused by the brainwashing.
According to manga chapter 84, the real Ouka had died in an experiment on the Eye of Raphael a few years before the Raggs War. However, the Barsburg scientists had already made 47 clones and the 7th one, otherwise known as OR-0007, was chosen to take the identity of the real Ouka. She is the Ouka who attacked Raggs in the Raggs War and has been shown to the readers so far. She was unaware of the fact that she is a clone until manga chapter 84. The clones made by the Barsburg scientists cannot move unless they have the Eye of Raphael in them.
In manga chapter 85, while possessed by Raphael, she killed Nanase, and freed the other clones from their pain and suffering by destroying them, bringing an end to the Raphael Project.
It was revealed in manga chapter 86 that she contains the soul of the original Ouka. The original Ouka's soul was moved to the clone by Ea when her body was destroyed.
In manga chapter 87, she talked to her father and the two started mending their relationship, while giving Teito privacy to talk to Millea.
In manga chapter 89, she promised Teito that she would fulfill the mission of resealing Verloren's soul, and prepared to fight Ayanami in manga chapter 90.
In manga chapter 91, Ouka and Ayanami fought. While fighting him, she found out that her 'predecessor' (her mother, Dalia) had unsealed the Eye of Raphael, and expressed shock at the revelation. Ayanami told Ouka that because her body is 'inferior to the original by 0.03%', she could not win against him. He easily defeated her and she fainted.
Ouka's unconscious body was found by an attendant, and she was presumably taken to the infirmary or somewhere she could recuperate. She recovered by the final manga chapter and healed Teito with her Zaiphon. Ouka was last seen with Frau, Castor, Labrador, Hakuren, Fea Kreuz Raggs, Lance and Burupya as they all watched Teito depart for the land of Seele. Two years after Teito's departure, it was mentioned that she and Hakuren were making their way to join Millea, Kreuz, Castor and Labrador for a picnic. No other details of her fate have been given, though it is presumed that she eventually ascended to the throne of Barsburg and became Empress.

fandom.07ghost | # Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg/Relationships
Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg, often known as simply Ouka, is the current Empress-to-be of the Barsburg Empire and the current host of the Eye of Raphael. She is the only major female character, and one of the few recurring female characters, in the series.
Ouka is first introduced as a princess who has run away from home to escape her unhappy home life, and who wants to become a doctor. Later in the series, it was revealed that as a child, her original body died in an experiment on the Eye of Raphael, and her soul was moved by Karu into a vessel that the scientists conducting the experiment had made. Ouka was then brainwashed and forced to attack the kingdom of Raggs, but overcame the brainwashing years later with the help of Teito and the Eye of Mikhail.
Relationships.
Family.
Wolfram Eifeler Barsburg
At first, it appeared that Ouka doesn't get along well with her father, as she wanted to become a doctor instead of doing what he wanted her to do (he had arranged a fiance for her and wanted her to take over the throne, manga chapter 48). Also, it initially seemed that he wanted to kill her. However, as of manga chapter 87, it was revealed that Wolfram actually does love his daughter, but was being manipulated by the Shadow Man to the extent that he (Wolfram) lost his conscience and wits. Ouka forgave Wolfram for his misdeeds, saying that he is her 'important and precious blood relative', and the two have reconciled.
Ouka once referred to Wolfram as 'my old man' (manga chapter 48).
Dalia Barsburg
In manga chapter 91, Ouka made a reference to Dalia, hinting that Dalia had unsealed the Eye of Raphael. This was confirmed in manga chapter 98.
Ouka does not seem to remember much about Dalia, but was clearly shocked and upset upon finding out that Dalia had died as a result of the Raphael Project, and that Dalia had unsealed the Eye of Raphael.
Teito Klein
As both Teito and Ouka are blood Barsburgs, they are related by blood, though exactly how they are related is currently unknown. They seem to see each other as good friends.
Ouka at first mistook Teito for a member of the Hausen Family because of his clothes, but the issue was quickly cleared up when Teito explained that the clothes were given to him by a butler to the Hausen Family (manga chapter 48). Frau mistakenly assumed that Teito was taking Ouka on a date, which embarrassed both of them. At first, she did not think much of Teito, but later grew to like him as they spent more time together. She admired Teito for his courage and agreed to visit the next God House with him, but then they were attacked by Wars. After the Wars was defeated, they departed and Hakuren Oak, accompanied by her attendants, came to convoy Ouka back to the royal palace. Ouka still keeps the toy bunny plush Teito made for her.
More recently, Teito helped Ouka regain her memories, freeing both her and Raphael from their brainwashing. In Kapitel 89, Ouka promised Teito that she would fulfill the mission of resealing Verloren's soul.
On two separate occasions, Ouka used her healing Zaiphon to heal Teito.
Millea Klein
Ouka is respectful towards Millea, referring to her as 'Millea-san'. More recently, she found out that Wolfram is in love with Millea. As both of them are blood Barsburgs, they are related by blood.
Karu
When her original body died as a result of the Raphael Project, Karu helped Ouka by moving her soul into the vessel the scientists had made. Years later, he informed her of this, and she recognised his true form, Ea, as 'one of the legendary seven gods'.
Other clones produced by The Raphael Project
Ouka said that she knew the pain and suffering of the 46 other clones produced by the Raphael Project, and freed them by destroying them.
Other members of the Barsburg Family
Ouka dislikes most of her relatives, and the dislike is apparently mutual, as a chapter in the manga reveals that many of them are willing to poison her, and in the case of her aunt Granne, openly taunt and insult her. One of Ouka's cousins, Granne's son, was initially intended to be one of Ouka's fiance candidates at her Groom Choosing masquerade (possibly for political reasons). Ouka has also openly stated that she does not like anything about her family, describing it as a "tiresome world".
Others.
Gyokuran, Ohruri and Kikune
They are like older sisters or mothers to her, and seem to be the main source of female influence in her life in the absence of her deceased mother. They help her in many ways, such as acting as her bodyguards, informing her about her daily schedule and serving her tea.
Kururu
Kururu is Ouka's pet Fyulong. They are close, though Kururu feels that others may be offended by Ouka's "peculiarities".
Frau
At first, Ouka thought of Frau as a pervert, but later came to respect him as Teito's teacher. She seems to think that Teito's and Frau's teacher-student relationship is 'sublime'. Frau called her 'little lady' when he first met her.
Hakuren Oak
Hakuren is Ouka's tutor. They get along well, and share a friendship with Teito. Ouka has asked Hakuren about his friendship with Teito (Kapitel 63). Some fans think that Hakuren's father arranged for Hakuren to be Ouka's tutor because he wants Hakuren to become a royal consort, or to meet more noble women.
Capella
Ouka and Capella like each other, and Capella addresses her affectionately as 'Neechan'.
Raphael
Raphael is devoted to and greatly respects Ouka, acknowledging her as his master.
Mikhail
Mikhail acknowledges Ouka as his fellow archangel's master, but his opinion of her is otherwise unclear. He is one of the few characters in the series who refer to her by her first name. In Kapitel 86, it was implied that he knew all along about Karu/Ea moving her soul. Throughout the series, he never speaks directly to her.
Enemies.
Ayanami
It seems that Ouka and Ayanami had little or no direct interaction before their fight in manga chapter 91. Ouka is aware that Ayanami is Verloren's reincarnation, and promised Teito that she would reseal Verloren's soul. However, she was unable to win against him and he eventually defeated her. In a way, Ouka can be considered Ayanami's superior, as she is the Empress-to-be and the soldiers of the Barsburg Armed Forces have to respect her, but Ayanami does not seem to care for or respect her, as he threw her into a wall while fighting her, apparently not caring if she was injured, and left her lying unconscious on the floor after defeating her.
Nanase
At first, Ouka trusted Nanase to a certain extent, taking medicine he prescribed for her and obeying his instructions. However, when she emerged from the brainwashing, she did not hesitate to kill Nanase while possessed by Raphael, and showed no remorse or regret afterwards.

In French, 'elle' means 'she', and can also be a variant of 'Elizabeth', which means 'God is my promise'.
'Bars' is a German word that has the same meaning in English. 'Burg' means 'castle'.

Appearance.
Physical appearance.
The attendant appears to be a young woman, and though her age is unknown, she is estimated to be in her late twenties or early thirties at time of death. She is of average height with a thin build. Her face is heart shaped with a widow's peak, a small nose, a small mouth with full lips and large eyes of an unknown colour- as they have always been closed.

Personality.
Prior to Teito's abduction, she appeared kind and capable with children, as Fea Kreuz was willing to leave her alone with the Prince.
Relationships.
Teito Klein.
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.
Fea Kreuz Raggs and the Black Beast Squadron.
She was clearly familiar with, and respectful towards, Kreuz and the Black Beast Squadron, addressing them with the suffix "sama". She informed the group that the ambassador from the Barsburg Empire has arrived and is waiting at the Red Guest Room in the Raggs Castle. Kreuz and the others trusted her a lot to look after Teito when duty calls them.
History.
The royal attendant was presumably born and raised in the Raggs Kingdom.
At some point in time, she started working for the King of Raggs, Weldeschtein Krom Raggs, and moved to the Barsburg Church with the King's bother Fea Kreuz to act as the caretaker of the Prince, Wahrheit Tiashe Raggs.
Teito's disappearance.
The royal attendant received news that the ambassador for the Barsburg Empire had arrived at the Barsburg Church, and she relayed the news to Fea Kreuz and the three members of the Black Beast Squadron present. Kreuz and the guards left to meet him, leaving Teito Klein in the company of the royal attendant. When the attendant's back is turned, Vanessa Antwort, who had been hiding amongst the bushes, lures Teito away from his guardian.
Aftermath.
Vanessa Antwort and The Pope found another child that resembled Teito and threw him from the top of a Church tower to give the impression Teito fell after wandering away from his caretaker. The royal attendant was accused of neglect and held responsible for his death but killed herself shortly after, according to official records.

fandom.07ghost | # Rutia
Rutia is a minor character in the 07-Ghost series. She is Capella's mother.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Rutia is slim, with long hair (official art shows that her hair is orange in colour, like her son's) that is usually worn up, and large eyes.
Clothing.
She wears a long dress with full-length sleeves, a W-shaped ornament above the chest area, and a high, square collar that has vertical stripes on it.
When Capella was reunited with her, she was seen wearing a wig, but eventually took it off when she no longer had to pretend to be Rena's mother.
Personality.
Rutia appears to be kind and selfless. She is also honest and true to her word, as she was determined to fulfill the promise she made to Rena, despite the fact that it would put her (Rutia's) life in danger.
Relationships.
Capella: Rutia and Capella have been shown to have a close mother-son relationship. Rutia was desperate enough for Capella to at least have food to eat to sell him into slavery, and could not bring herself to abort him. They were both overcome with emotion upon their reunion, and Capella used his healing Zaiphon to heal her eyes (she had fallen ill with an eye disease six months before she was reunited with Capella).
At present, Capella is living with Rutia again, in the Almarz Residence.
Rena: Rena is Rutia's superior. They have been shown to get along well, and Rena enjoys Rutia's cooking.
Elikt: Elikt may have feelings for Rutia, as he blushed and became flustered when Rutia told him to slowly simmer his jams 'with love'.
Frau and Teito Klein: 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.
History.
Early childhood.
Little is known about Rutia's early years. The family she was born into, assuming they are still alive, did not provide her with financial support when she was trying to make ends meet.
Adulthood.
At some point in her life, she married an unnamed man who was a gambler. When he died, she was forced to become a prostitute to pay off the large financial debt he left behind. At first, Rutia and Capella managed to get by just by working on embroidery, but half a year before her reunion with Capella, she was afflicted with an eye disease, and prostitution was not enough to cover their expenses. They were left with no food, and Rutia thought about committing suicide so she could go to where her husband was, but could not bring herself to do it. She eventually sold Capella into slavery because otherwise, he would starve to death, whereas as a slave, he would at least get fed. One day, she waited until he had fallen asleep, then put him on a slave barge.
Rutia herself ended up on the slave market and was bought by Elikt. She then moved into the Almarz Residence, the home of a wealthy family headed by Rena. Elikt had bought Rutia because of her startling coincidental resemblance to Rena's deceased mother, whose death Elikt had concealed, and Rutia was asked to impersonate her (Rena's mother) in order to deceive Rena's relatives, who were aiming for Rena's mother's life (the truth was that Rena's mother had died of poisoning two months ago).
Manga Synopsis.
In the end, with the help of Teito and Frau, Rutia was reunited with Capella, and the crimes committed by Rena's uncle Ugur, his wife, and Nyx, who had all plotted to kill Rena's mother, were exposed. Ugur, his wife and Nyx were then arrested and taken away from the Almarz Residence by the Imperial Guard. Rutia remained and continued working as a servant in the Almarz Residence, and Capella is living with her again at present.

fandom.07ghost | # Seilan
Seilan is a minor character in the 07-Ghost manga series. He is a butler who was adopted by and serves under Xingfa Hausen, the current head of the Hausen House. Seilan formerly worked for Xing-lu Hausen when the latter was human.
Following the Raggs War and the death of his master's son Xing-lu Hausen, the lady of the House was overcome with grief and became a Wars. Under Xingfa's orders, he and the other servants trapped her in the house and fed her on those who came to the house seeking to go to Seele. However, after being reminded of Xing-lu, he has a change of heart and attempts to save Teito Klein from the Wars. Once the Wars had been destroyed, he thanks him for freeing the lady, and tells him to return "home" soon.
Etymology.
'Sei' can mean 'star' and 'ran' can mean 'orchid', in the Japanese language.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Seilan is a rather tall man, standing at an estimated 6 foot, with a lean build.
His face is triangular, with a long, pointy nose, a thin mouth, and large, dark eyes with very thin eyebrows. His hair is black, and long enough to reach his mid-back, pulled back into a ponytail with a rather elaborate clip, with several odd strands of hair falling over his forehead. He wears rectangular glasses, and one of his most distinctive features is a large scar that runs across the left side of his forehead. It is unknown when he got this scar, though it was sometime during his service to the Hausen House.
Clothing.
Seilan is mostly seen in typical butler attire, consisting of a white shirt, with a black, buttoned-up waistcoat with no tails, black trousers and black shoes. He has a small handkerchief folded into a triangle and tucked into his breast pocket. He wears a black tie, and wears a tie slide with the Barsburg cross on it.
Personality.
Seilan appears emotionless towards others due to a butler "not being permitted to let personal feelings intervene", though he is prone to losing his temper and shouting. He is curt when speaking and can seem rather rude.
Though sarcastic and prone to insulting those around him, he nonetheless has a kind and gentle side, as he was shown to care deeply for Castor and was devastated when he (Castor) died. Also, despite being cold towards Teito at first, he eventually warms up to the latter and even gives him his coat, telling him to 'come home soon'.
Relationships.
Superiors.
Xing-lu Hausen.
Seilan and Castor were very close when Castor was alive, with Seilan himself saying that he cared for Castor enough to consider him a younger brother. Despite being his subordinate, Seilan's mannerisms around Castor were also more brotherly; such as teasing him about Razette and joking that Castor has a "mother complex".
He was considerably more relaxed around Castor, despite "a butler not being able to allow emotions to interfere", as he was shown laughing, smiling and joking with his former master.
Seilan was devastated when Castor died, still being upset despite ten years passing. After ten years he was able to properly mourn Castor's death, and he cried remembering his memory. Castor had previously told Seilan to take care of his "precious tree" should he (Castor) die, a task he took very seriously- and the tree still stands in perfect condition 10 years after the master's death.
Xingfa Hausen: Xingfa was the one who took an orphaned Seilan in and raised him. As a result of this, Seilan holds a great deal of respect for Xingfa.
Other members of the House.
Hausen House Servants: In the past Seilan appears to have had a very good relationship with them- as they treated him as one of their own. However, the loyalty of the servants to their master meant they were at odds with Seilan when he wanted to rescue Teito, telling him (Seilan) not to interfere with Lady Hausen's meal, and they were quick to threaten him if he did.
Razette Seilan appears to have had a fairly good relationship with Razette, as he helped Xing-lu to free her and tend to her injuries, and also spent much of his time with her when Xing-lu was alive. However, his affection for Razzete had its limits, as he did not voice any objections when Xing-fa proposed killing her to save Xing-lu.
Others.
Teito Klein.
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. Selian's new-found respect leads him to defy the other servants in an attempt to save his life, and protest military intervention.
Once the Wars has been destroyed, Seilan bows his head to Teito and tells him to "come home soon".
Abilities and Attributes.
Seilan is a Zaiphon user. He used it to threaten another servant, but has not been seen using it.
History.
Early childhood.
Seilan is probably a native of District 6. He was orphaned early in his childhood, though it is unknown if this is due to abandonment or the death of his parents, and adopted by the head of the Hausen House, Xingfa Hausen, and raised as one of the family. What happened to his biological family still remains a mystery.
Pre Raggs War.
As it was the job of the Hausen House to protect the Raggs royal family from assassination, Seilan was often deployed on these missions to accompany the head of the house, Castor.
During one of these missions; which was to prevent an assassination attempt on the King of Raggs's life, Seilan and others arrived at the home of an enemy clansmen and the ringleader was killed. As the building was being searched, Castor and Seilan heard someone singing and followed the noise till they reached a Noel Mermaid chained up in a small tank singing sadly. After the mermaid had been freed, and her injuries tended to, Seilan noted how she had become very attached to Castor and through her friendship, Castor learnt how to smile. Dolls looking like Razette began appearing in his work-room. Castor said it was because Razette wanted friends, though Seilan didn't believe him.
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.
Post Raggs War.
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.
Castor's death.
Castor's father, Xingfa Hausen, 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. Seilan rushed to Castor's side, but he was mortally injured, and as he took his final breath, Castor looked up to see the God of the Hausen House, Fest, standing before him.
Aftermath.
Castor would later die from his injuries, his head was presented to the Barsburg families- with Seilan present, and Xingfa Hausen became head of the House once again.
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.
Her husband, Xingfa Hausen was unable to have her destroyed, as he did not want to lose a son and a wife. With the help of Seilan and the other servants, 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.
Seilan is first introduced when Teito Klein arrives at the Hausen House looking to receive the cursed ticket so he can travel to the Land of Seele.
He answers the door when Teito knocks but is initially dismissive of Teito and his goal (thinking it a joke) because of his young age. After closing the door on him, Seilan sends another servant to escort Teito off the premisses but Teito knocks the man over and demands an audience.
Seilan is annoyed at Teito's persistence, and angrily asks him if he knows what the land of Seele is. When Teito doesn't answer, Seilan tells him that to go to Seele is to die- and tells Teito that a child so young has no place in Seele. He then leaves Teito, after again telling him to go home, but stops to listen when Teito begins to explain his motives. Seilan then relents and allows him entry into the God House. Upon Xingfa Hausen's wishes, he takes Teito deeper into the house.
The attack on Teito.
Seilan stands watch in one of the corridors of the Hausen House when he is surprised by Teito climbing through the window behind him, who he had not sensed due to Teito hiding his presence. Seilan tells him he is expected to dine with Xingfa Hausen and takes him to the head.
Xing-lu's room.
Seilan walks Teito Klein around the Hausen 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 leads him to the room.
The trap in Xing-lu's room.
Teito Klein 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's new life, and he (Teito) encourages Seilan to mourn his death by visiting Xing-lu's memorial with.
Seilan sheds a tear at his former master's memory, and suddenly has a change of heart. Remembering the trap, he 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 is unable to stop the Wars from advancing on him (Teito). Seilan is dragged out of the way by the other Hausen House Servants as 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.
When Seilan tries to intervene, the servants accuse him of betraying Xingfa Hausen (who ordered them to kill Teito) and threaten him with death should he (Seilan) get involved. The barrier around the room begins to break and the Wars turns on the servants. Seilan gets into an argument with the tallest servant, grabbing him and slamming his head against the floor and demanding he do something to stop the Wars. The Wars gets out of the room and attacks the youngest servants, but Teito saves them and fights the lady. They all watch as Teito purifies their lady's soul.
Once the battle is over, the servants make way for Xingfa who explains his actions to Teito. The room is suddenly filled with a bright light, and the Ghost Fest appears before Teito, asking him if he will accept the Cursed Ticket.
Aftermath.
Once the light fades, Teito tells the residents of the house that his father was Weldeschtein Krom Raggs, which shocks Seilan, as it is general knowledge that the King of Raggs did not have a child.
Seilan, and the other servants, lead Teito to the door where they are suddenly confronted with the Imperial Guard. Seilan demands they let Teito escapea, on the orders of the head of the Hausen House, but they ignore him and prepare to arrest Teito. They are stopped by Frau- who suddenly bursts into the room and beats them into submission. As Teito is carried away by Frau, Seilan and the other servants bow their heads to Teito, and tell him to "come home soon".

Sem Country, also known as simply Sem, was mentioned in Kapitel 64. When Gyokuran was informing Princess Roseamanelle Ouka Barsburg of her (Ouka's) schedule for the day, it was mentioned that Ouka would 'dine with Sem Country's Guest of Honour at noon in the eastern garden' as part of her schedule.
Nothing else is known about Sem Country.

fandom.07ghost | # Seven Ghosts
SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
and for the article about the series, see 07-Ghost.
The titular Seven Ghosts: namely Zehel, Fest, Profe, Relikt, Vertrag, Ea and Landkarte, are said to be heavenly lights created by the Chief of Heaven, each with their own unique virtue, that were sent from Heaven to dispatch the God of Death, Verloren, for his actions. Despite Verloren's fall about 1000 years ago, the souls of the Seven Ghosts continue to be reincarnated in human bodies, unable to return to Heaven, to guard the earth should Verloren return.
The Barsburg Church exists to enshrine them.
Each Ghost can be reincarnated in the members of its respective God Houses, but not even members of the God Houses themselves know this is possible.
Now that Relikt, Profe, Fest and Vertrag have become ordinary humans, Ea and Landkarte have ascended to Heaven, and Zehel has become Verloren's successor, there are no more reincarnations of the Seven Ghosts.
Form.
Their true appearance is in the form of a hooded skeleton, (like the grim reaper) each of them wielding a large scythe. Their appearance is the same as Verloren since they are made up of Verloren's fragments. The only way the ghosts are distinguishable from each other are the differing shapes of their scythes.
They inhabit the body of their human host, and it is in this human body how they are normally seen. They are indistinguishable from regular humans except for the insignia of their respective ghost on the back of their right hand. A particularly skilled person can detect a Ghost from their presence, but it is implied one only has this ability (to recognise Ghosts in human bodies) once one has come into contact with a Ghost.
Since only blood descendants of the Seven Houses of God can be reincarnated as the Seven Ghosts, the vessels/reincarnations of the Ghosts tend to resemble each other e.g. Guido resembled Frau, the Raggs War Relikt resembled Lance etc.
The Seven Ghosts.
Each Ghost has been embodied in a human being with such extraordinary Zaiphon abilities that they are thought to be blessed by God. Each of the Ghosts had died in a previous life, yet still retains all of the memories of their past lives.
For more information see the respective Ghost pages:
Acting as Ghost.
There must be seven Ghosts at any one time, but no two people can act as the same Ghost at any one time. When a ghost dies, their soul will find another body to inhabit, and the new host will act as a Ghost.
When the first seven arrived on earth, they each assumed a 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. Only blood descendants of the Seven Houses of God can be reincarnated as Ghosts.
Becoming a Ghost.
The Ghost itself (the spirit) needs a human body.
A Ghost's powers are hereditary, meaning only a member of a God House (someone who is a descendant of the original Ghost) can be reincarnated as a Ghost. For someone to become a Ghost, they have to die first. It is currently unknown what the circumstances surrounding death are, but it may only occur when the person has died an unnatural death (i.e. murder or suicide, not old age or disease). It may also be a requirement for the vessel to die young.Considering the Chief's penchant for physical beauty, Ghost vessels may have to fulfill the Chief's requirements for an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Upon death, the true form of the Ghost (the skeleton) will inhabit the dead body (something akin to using it as a host so the spirit is able to interact with the mortal world), granting the host the ability to 'live' along with the Ghost's power.
Rules.
Ghosts must act in accordance to certain rules. These rules may have been laid down by the Pope, and are monitored by the Archbishop.
If a Ghost breaks any of the rules set down by the Pope, they will be stripped of their powers, resulting in their death- as without the Ghost spirit, the human vessel is essentially just a corpse.
Death.
Death of the body.
The Ghost spirit will be reincarnated in a new body when the current body dies, and that person will gain all knowledge of the past Ghosts' experiences.
Death of the Ghost.
The only way the spirit of the Ghost can die is if it is 'devoured' by Verloren (meaning the soul is absorbed and becomes a part of Verloren- like it once was). This is done by absorbing the "core" of the current Ghost Incarnate; the core serving as both heart and soul of the reincarnated body. Both Vertrag and Relikt were 'devoured'. This meant their souls would no longer reincarnate in new bodies, so there could not be a future Vertrag and Relikt. Their statues in the Church had also fallen as a sign of this death; it is believed that as long as a Ghost's statue stands, the Ghost will continue to be reincarnated in the world.
Castor as Fest had also lost half of his capabilities because Ayanami had devoured it, but did not die due to the fact that Ayanami's (also Verloren's) body was incapable of taking him and all the other Ghosts in. This was supposed to be Ayanami's weakness and in Vol 014 Chp 083 Castor was seen scheming about in a flashback. He indicated to both Frau and Labrador that they could cause Verloren's vessel (Ayanami) to self-destruct by forcing it to devour them all (something which Frau strongly disagreed with).
Yet later during his and Labrador's capture, Castor notioned that he was hoping to have Ayanami throw the other two—Relikt and Vertrag—out by having himself devoured, though the two devoured Ghosts eventually escaped Verloren's body without Castor having to resort to sacrificing himself.
Relation to real-world religion.
The abilities of the Seven Ghosts include aspects of the Seven Heavenly virtues in Chirstian belief: seven attributes that make up a good person.
Cultural impact in-series.
The Ghosts are widely revered in the Barsburg Church and District 7 (a deeply religious District) as deities; where they are regarded as guardians of humankind and the Church. The religious believe the Ghosts themselves have a direct connection to the Church, and the Church teachings place more importance on the Ghosts than any other deity. of the Ghosts have been erected- each one in a tower at the border of the Church- where people go to worship. Annual parades are held in the Church bazaar as a tribute.
The Bishops in the Church work to carry out the work of the Ghosts by protecting citizens against the Kor, (a form of Verloren's evil) so are praised as protectors.
As a result of their job of punishing bad souls, mothers sometimes threaten naughty children that the Seven Ghosts will take them away if they do not behave. In the 1st District, where religion is not as influential, horror stories are sometimes told about the Ghosts stealing souls in a similar way to how stories of Verloren are told in the 7th District.
There is a children's game called 'Seven Ghosts' in the 07-Ghost universe. In a manga chapter, a group of children in the Barsburg Church are shown playing this hide-and-seek game, in which one plays the role of Verloren and hunts out the other children who play the roles of the Seven Ghosts.
Abilities and attributes.
Manipulation of memories: The Seven Ghosts all possess the ability to erase or otherwise alter a person's memories. As humans cannot know of the Ghosts' existence, this is used to erase any memory of the Ghosts in a human. Ghosts are also able to see a person's memories by looking into their soul, something which could be painful for the person if they resist.
All Ghosts presumably also have the ability to place a protective seal on a person's memories: a 'defensive mechanism' which causes serious injury to anyone who tries to read the protected memories, though only Vertrag has been seen doing so.
Endurance and recovery: Ghosts are able to recover from injuries faster than ordinary humans. Since the host body is dead, it is probable that all of them have a much greater tolerance of extremely low temperatures than ordinary humans.
Regardless of how they died, once reincarnated Ghosts do not suffer any lasting ill effects from their causes of death. The Ghosts also appear to have greater immunity to potentially harmful lifestyle habits e.g. smoking than most ordinary humans, and can survive life-threatening accidents.
Astral projection: The Ghosts also seem to be able to make their true forms temporarily leave their human, host bodies- though doing so will mean the human body is left immobile and vulnerable, making it seem as if the host is asleep. The Ghosts are also able to freely teleport between their host body and their respective God House (though they will appear in Ghost form).
Manipulation of souls: Ghosts are all capable of manipulating souls with ease.
Language: Upon reincarnation, the Seven Ghosts all gain the ability to understand the language of the gods.
Specific abilities.
As the Ghosts were fashioned from Verloren, each Ghost has a different ability that used to belong to Verloren. For more detail see the respective Ghost pages.
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.
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 the Return of Verloren.
Around 990 years after Verloren had been sealed, the Eye of Raphael malfunctioned- resulting in Verloren's soul awakening, meaning 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, not much is known about the Ghosts' roles in the Raggs War. They assisted in Vertrag's plan of going through the God Houses to gather the 07 Sins to form the key for the Gates of Seele. Later, it was revealed that Landkarte had betrayed the other Ghosts, and he killed Profe, Fest and Relikt when they discovered his betrayal.
A member of the Raggs family (the God house of Vertrag) and person acting as the Ghost Vertrag, Fea Kreuz Raggs, 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.
The remaining six, however, escaped with their lives.

fandom.07ghost | # Seven Ghosts (chapter)
and for the article about the series, see 07-Ghost.
1. Seven Ghosts is a pilot chapter which was developed as an early idea of the 07 Ghost storyline.
The chapter "Seven Ghosts" is the first of the Pilot chapters and revolves around the major characters of the series: Teito, Frau, Castor, Labrador. The plot is quite similar to Kapitel 1.
Summary.
Teito Klein is seen wandering through the snow while the three Bishops travel across it on their Hawkziles. Being unable to see Teito, one of the Hawkziles, ridden by Frau, almost knocks him over. The blow does not hurt him but instead knocks Teito unconscious and the Bishops carry him to the Church, mistakenly believing him to be a girl.
When Teito wakes, he attacks Frau after being frightened by him, and once Teito is introduced to Frau, Castor, Labrador and Razette, the four of them try to remove the seal on Teito's forehead (offering to use many strange methods, including sandpaper and polish remover) but to no avail. As the Imperial army is still looking for Teito, he is forced to live as a girl and wear a nun's habit and full face veil, and he narrowly avoids being caught by soldiers patrolling the Church, who are driven away by Castor's preaching.
It is revealed that the reason Teito fled is because he attacked a superior officer after learning he (the officer) was the one who killed his father. Meanwhile, Lloyd had found his way into the Church and attacked Teito, but the Bishops and Razette defend him and are revealed to be part of the Seven Ghosts, and together they kill the enemy soldiers. Frau then accidentally becomes Teito's master when he tries to remove his chains, and if Teito disobeys the wishes of his master, he turns into a dragon.
| Seven Ghosts (chapter) |
fandom.07ghost | # Seven Houses of God
The Seven Houses of God are the descendants of the first generation of the Seven Ghosts. They are organisations with the goal of prospering the seven continents.
There are seven continents in the world of 07-Ghost. Each district has a God House, which is a noble family, and each of these God Houses contains one of the cursed tickets in the name of the Ghost they descend from.
To travel to the Land of Seele, the person must first receive the blessing of each of the God Houses and the cursed ticket of every House's respective Ghost. The God Houses have the right to refuse blessing to anyone if they do not deem their motives true enough. The traveller of Seele exists to judge them.
Influence.
These seven God Houses have the right to decide who is to be the Pope; and the Pope has the right to decide whether someone is fit to be a king or queen of Raggs. The Pope does not side with Wolfram Eifeler Barsburg, the current ruler of the Barsburg Empire.
Alliance.
Following the Raggs War, the God houses serve the Barsburg Empire in "one way or another" and this includes killing those who oppose the Empire. However, not all God Houses are Barsburg's allies.
The God Houses of Vertrag and Ea are also under the divine protection of Archangels Mikhail and Raphael respectively, through the Eye of Mikhail and the Eye of Raphael.
The families of Barsburg and Verius are also under the leadership of the Emperor and the Pope respectively.
All seven of the God houses have strong ties to the Empire because a suitor from each and every house is an eligible candidate to be the next Empress's husband, meaning that to varying extents, presumably all the houses are related to the Barbsurg royalty by marriage.
Abilities and Attributes.
Each God house comes with a great degree of political power and diplomatic immunity, to the extent that not even the Church can investigate a God house (something many of them exploit for their own benefit).
Reincarnation.
As members of the God Houses share the blood of the original Seven Ghosts, they retain the ability to be used as the vessel of their respective Ghost should they die from an unnatural death.
Not even members of the God Houses themselves know this is possible.
History.
After the Seven Ghosts sealed Verloren, they had to stay in the human world to guard the seal. Each Ghost assumed human form and went on to live human lives; they married humans, had human children and died as humans. In time, these seven families became known as the Seven Houses of God. These descendants have the Seven Ghosts' blood (hence the potential of using the ability of a Ghost) and a chosen member will act as a vessel of a Ghost after he/she has died a physical death.
The current ghosts are the descendants of the original seven.
Raggs War.
During the Raggs War, the houses were split on which side to take. Those that sided with Barsburg "made great achievements during the war". Those that sided with Raggs were ordered to kill the heads of their clans in order for the rest of the bloodline to be spared.

fandom.07ghost | # Shigure
Officer Shigure is a minor character in the 07-Ghost anime and manga series. He is an officer in the Barsburg Military Academy and acts as an overseer of the Begleiter exam, but also has a hidden agenda of searching for potential candidates for the Eye of Mikhail. He makes an appearance in the pilot chapter: Begleiter.
Etymology.
Shigure's name may come from the Japanese Shiratsuyu-class destroyer (Japanese battleship) of the same name.
The tenth month in the Japanese lunar calendar is called 'Shigurezuki'.
Appearance.
Physical appearance.
Shigure is a rather unintimidating person. He is rather short, appearing almost two heads smaller than Ayanami, which puts him roughly at 5 foot 5 inches. His weight is unknown, but his build is very stocky. His jaw is strong making his face is almost a square, and he has a large, Roman nose, a large mouth with large lips, and eyes that are always seen closed. His skin is tanned with a yellowish tint. Shigure has maroon-coloured hair, parted in the middle with the bangs hanging over his forehead, and a pencil mustache of the same colour.
Clothing.
Officer Shigure 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. It is thought that he wears a plain white shirt under his overcoat. He also has gold shoulder boards on his right shoulder and a small version of the Barsburg Military insignia over his left shoulder.
Personality.
He appears to be optimistic, as he brightly remarks to Miroku that he (Shigure) heard the candidates were excellent. He can also been seen as cruel and sadistic, as he looks to be enjoying himself at the sight of the cadets being beaten, and laughs when he sees Shuri in trouble, mockingly commenting "and here's the heir to the honourable Oak family".
Relationships.
Shigure freely chats with the other officers, suggesting he is on good terms with them. He politely welcomes Ayanami and talks with him calmly, not showing any signs of fear that others display, suggesting he has met and spoken to the Chief of Staff before.
Oak family.
Shigure's thoughts on Shuri, and by extension the Oak family, are different in the anime and manga. In the manga, Shigure appears to think a lot of Shuri, saying "Shuri-kun is always so reliable" as Shuri gives his graduation speech, and says it's to be expected from the Oak family, suggesting he thinks highly of them. However, in the anime, Shigure shows a lack of respect for the Oak family, laughing and mocking the Oaks as Shuri panics during the exam.
History.
Little is known of Shigure's past other than he is an exam overseer at the Military academy. It is likely that he went to a similar academy when he was younger, and he appeared to have worked at there for a while, as he was shown to be familiar with Miroku and the officers around him.
His secret agenda, scouting for potentional Eye of Mikhail candidates, suggests he has risen to be a very high ranking officer, as only a select few soldiers know of the circumstances surrounding the Eye of Mikhail.
Manga synopsis.
Begleiter exam.
Shigure is first see watching the assembly and the graduation speech, and he talks to Lloyd about the candidates, saying that he heard the candidates this year were very good.
Shigure is later seen in the examination room, waiting outside the area, where he watches team A take the exam. When he spots the Black Hawks approaching he welcomes Ayanami, possibly being the one who invited him.
In the anime, Shigure is speaking to Ayanami when Teito attacks him. In the manga, Shigure is not present when this happens.
Post-Begleiter exam.
It is unknown what happened to Shigure after Teito's escape, as his job was to scout for potential candidates for the Eye of Mikhail, and Teito has it. In the Begleiter chapter, his job was to assign cadet begleiters to their superior officers, so he could have done this to the remaining students. As he has not been seen since the first episode/chapter, his status is unknown.
Differences in the manga and anime.
Teito's assassination attempt.
In the anime, Shigure is present when Teito attempts to kill Ayanami. In the manga, he is not there.
Early 07-Ghost.
An early version of Shigure appears in the second pilot chapter, Begleiter. He was entrusted with the cadet begleiters, and 'punished' Yukinami for arriving late by putting him under Ayanami's supervision. He then shouts at the other cadets for throwing Yukinami in the air in excitement.
