List of Killer7 characters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of fictional characters appearing in the video game and book Killer7. It is worth noting that the book deviates from the game at times, and this should be kept in mind while reading.
Contents |
[edit] Main characters
[edit] Harman Smith
- Voice: Dwight Schultz
- Nationality: Irish
- Age: 60
Despite his great age, he is as physically fit as a young man. He regularly played Kun Lan in life at chess and would often defeat him, while at the same time attempting to stop him from using his terrorist organization, the Heaven Smile, to destroy the world. He uses an armor-piercing rifle in battle and holds the power of the "God Killer."
[edit] Kun Lan
- Voice: Joe Lala
In his past life, he was simultaneously the best friend and the arch-rival of Harman Smith. Kun Lan obtained the God Hand through unknown means and used it to create the anti-American terrorist organization Heaven Smile, which Harman devoted his life to stopping. Kun Lan was born in Lhasa, Tibet's capital as an adult, with some worshiping him as a reincarnation of the demon Mara Papimer. He believes himself to be as powerful as a God, the reason behind naming his creations "Heaven Smiles."
[edit] Smith Syndicate
[edit] Garcian Smith
- Voice: Greg Eagles
- Nationality: American (born in Florida)
- Age: 33
- Counter-Attack: None.
- Down Attack: Smashes enemy with briefcase.
In his past life, he was Emir Parkreiner. As the leader of the Killer7, Garcian alone has the ability to converse with Harman's alter egos. In Killer7, Christopher Mills would regularly give him missions that required the expertise of the Killer7. Hand in Killer7 tells us that he was killed and absorbed by Harman in the past, which may indicate towards Emir being taken in by Harman after the incident at the Union Hotel.
Garcian has the power to resurrect Harman's other selves, an ability which only relies on the player's ability to tap buttons on their game controller. When a member of the Killer7 is killed in action, they leave behind their own head in a bag, which Garcian must then retrieve starting from the last save point.
Garcian carries a briefcase, which is revealed at the end to hold the various weapons of the Smith Syndicate. His weapon of choice is a P230 with silencer, and in "Smile" he receives his old Golden Gun once again.
[edit] Dan Smith
- Voice: Michael Gough
- Nationality: Irish
- Age: 33
- Counter-Attack: Grabs enemy by throat and fires into it's chest.
- Down Attack: Steps on enemy.
The second persona of the Killer7 assassins, Dan Smith is the most aggressive of the seven and is nicknamed the Hellion because of his hot-tempered personality. He wears a suit and tie, and is armed with a Colt Python .357 revolver (which is later replaced by the more powerful, double-barreled Demon Gun during the first half of "Encounter"). His special technique is the "Collateral Shot", which is the only attack capable of destroying Duplicator Smiles. It is also referred to as the "Demon Shot" and "Demon Shell".
In his past life, he was born in Detroit, Michigan and is of Irish descent. At the age of 33, Dan was one of the members of the Union7 political party that was killed in the Union Hotel by the Bloody Heartland (Emir Parkreiner). He was staying in room #601 when he was murdered.
Before reincarnating as one of Harman Smith's personae, Dan served the Seattle self-defense force under Curtis Blackburn's tutelage, but was killed by him without remorse after being wrongly accused of stealing from Blackburn's organ trafficking business (Pedro Montana was the true culprit). Dan holds a strong grudge against Blackburn because of this. According to the instruction manual, he also hates Harman Smith, and according to A Hand in Killer 7 Dan has tried to kill him in the past.
Dan’s signature weapon, the Demon Gun, has two barrels and a twelve shot cylinder. From the animated footage in Alter Ego it is safe to assume that each barrel fires six out of the twelve bullets in the cylinder. The gun also dramatically decreases Dan’s reload time. It is interesting to note that the Demon Gun is not shown in Garcian’s briefcase at the end of the episode Smile.
[edit] MASK de Smith
- Voice: Miguel Caballero
- Nationality: American (born in New Mexico)
- Age: 38
- Counter-Attack: Suplexes enemy.
- Down Attack: Knee drop onto enemy.
The third persona of the Smith Syndicate, MASK de Smith, nicknamed The Mask, is the most destructive member of the Killer7, as well as the most kind-hearted, who loves animals and children. As one can tell by his appearance, he is a former professional wrestler who has developed his own fighting style based on lucha libre and Lancashire wrestling. He wields two modified M79 grenade launchers, capable of firing Electric and Gravity-based grenades in addition to regular rounds (which are powerful enough to destroy cracked walls). He can also use his wrestling moves to clear paths. During the game, he can obtain new masks that change his appearances and make his attacks even more powerful, as well as decreasing (and later removing) his initially substantial reload time.
In his past life, he was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In addition to being a professional wrestler, he was also a member of the Union7 political party. At the age of 38, while staying in the Union Hotel, Emir Parkreiner killed him while taking a shower in room #306. He was scheduled to appear in New York for a major wrestling event prior to his death. Even after death, he is still recognized by wrestling fans, including Jean DePaul. During Sunset, he somehow manages to stop a bullet by headbutting it.
[edit] KAEDE Smith
- Voice: Tara Strong
- Nationality: Japanese
- Age: 20
- Counter-Attack: Kicks enemy down.
- Down Attack: Kicks enemy.
KAEDE Smith (楓・墨州 Kaede Sumisu?) is the fourth persona and the only female member of the Smith Syndicate. She is always seen wearing a short dress stained with blood and is rarely seen wearing any shoes. Because of this, she has been given the nickname of Barefoot. Her special ability is the "Blood Shower", in which she summons Mizaru (Iwazaru's ex-wife) to eliminate invisible barriers by cutting her wrist and creating a rain of her own blood. She can also use this ability to absorb blood as well.
During combat, she wields an AMT Hardballer with a zooming scope, similar to how a sniper rifle works. However, this weapon takes a bit of time to reload compared to other weapons, partly because of KAEDE's clumsiness with clips (she is seen fumbling with them while reloading). KAEDE can also use kicks against Smiles during close encounters. It's also worth noting that while KAEDE uses a scope-equipped pistol in-game, one of the messages from Johnny Gagnon's carrier pigeons early in game states that KAEDE uses a sniper rifle, which is obviously something that Capcom forgot to change before launch.
In her previous life, she was born in Portland, Oregon and was of Japanese-American descent. She was a member of the Union7 political party and had a brother whom belonged to the Liberal Party. Hand in Killer7 reveals she was killed at the hands of her own brother in her first life, who was under orders from Matsuken. In her second life, she was killed while fleeing from Emir Parkreiner in the Union Hotel. While hiding in a wardrobe in Room #404, Emir shot her several times in the abdomen. This is how she got the bloodstains on her dress. On the first level, Travis mentions that bloodstains are the mark of a traitor when referring to a Heaven Smile, but this also extends to KAEDE, as she ran and hid from Emir instead of trying to warn her teammates.
[edit] Con Smith
- Voice: Jun Hee Lee
- Nationality: Chinese
- Age: 14
- Counter-Attack: Skids onto back and fires upward at enemy.
- Down Attack: Jumps and spins in the air, guns blazing at enemy.
A bandanna wearing street punk, Con Smith was born blind but acts like a seemingly normal teenage boy with a trigger-happy but childish personality. Nothing is known of his first life, but in his second life, he tragically died at the hands of Emir Parkreiner due to his disability. He was of Chinese descent.
As a part of the Killer7, Con is perfectly able to grasp his surroundings due to superb hearing, and his special ability allows him to run incredibly fast, covering large distances in seconds. Unfortunately he can't take as much damage as the other personas. He can also fit in small gaps that others can not.
Hand in Killer7 reveals he is 14 years old and that he has a strong attachment to Coyote Smith, but a hatred of Dan. He whistles when he is in a good mood and is a big fan of the 'Handsome Men', which may explain why he strikes a pose everytime he uses his special ability.
His weapons are a pair of automatic pistols, possibly GLOCK 18s. Athletic, he seems to use his feet and knees to help reload, much like in a game of Hackysack. Next to Dan, he is one of the more popular characters among fans.
[edit] Coyote Smith
- Voice: Benito Martinez
- Nationality: Puerto Rican
- Age: 28
- Counter-Attack: Kicks enemy down and fires.
- Down Attack: Aims revolver downwards and fires.
Next to nothing is known about his past lives other than he was born and raised in South America (or so it is stated in Johnny Gagnon's letters), and once killed by Dan Smith, and in his second one he is killed when Emir Parkreiner flanks his hiding spot and shoots him from a window. As a member of the Killer7, he is aggressive and irreverent, regularly using the phrase "You're fucked", after hitting a Smile's weak point. He also possesses the ability to pick any padlock and to jump high upwards to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. His weapon is a modified Enfield revolver capable of firing a charged shot (though not as powerful as Dan's Collateral Shot, and described by Iwazaru as custom shots banned by international treaties.) He holds the weapon upside-down, in his own "gangster style".
Iwazaru refers to him as a petty thief, and often expresses doubts about whether Coyote truly deserves to be a member of the Killer 7
[edit] Kevin Smith
- Nationality: British
- Age: 30
- Height: 6'2"
- Counter-Attack: Sticks knife into enemy's neck, before pulling back.
- Down Attack: Strikes enemy with knife downwards.
He was an albino bellhop (or disguised as one) at the Union Hotel, and was unceremoniously killed by Emir Parkreiner. Then he was reborn as a part of the Killer7. He has the ability to turn invisible, which lets him pass through Heaven Smiles and security systems alike. Kevin has the abiltity to turn invisible because he can easily disappear into crowds. The book Hand in Killer7 mentions he was forced to kill "the man he loved" during a battle in Miami, though it is not mentioned in-game. His weapons of choice are throwing knives, plus a long-bladed knife for close combat. Despite his size and hulking posture, he is very quick and acrobatic, capable of high-speed somersaults and flips. In addition to this, after joining the Killer 7, he no longer talks in any situation. This may be because, according to his character biography on the official Killer7 website, it is rumored that his voice now has the capability of summoning Gods.
[edit] Recurring supporting characters
This is a list of recurring characters that appear in several episodes of the game.
[edit] Christopher Mills
- Voice: Bart Flynn
He was an agent for the United States government who would give information and missions for the Killer7 to Garcian. He contacted Garcian by leaving a recording on his answering machine, claiming to be a member of the Republic Party and requesting his vote in a local election. He was killed by Linda Vermillion, who apparently supplants him in that station.
[edit] Samantha Sitbon
- Voice: Heidi Anderson
Details of her first life are currently unknown. She was Samantha Sitbon in her second life, and served Harman Smith loyally - at least when wearing her maid outfit. When dressed as a maid, she is all-business, but in street clothes, she becomes rough and abusive towards Harman, physically striking or sexually molesting the nearly catatonic old man. Garcian Smith often walks in on her during these times, but says nothing. She is killed during the game’s events and becomes Samantha Smith, although she is originally credited as "Samantha Sitbon." This change likely notes her becoming one of Harman's personalities and thus joining the Smith Syndicate.
Her relationship with Harman Smith has become strained as he continues to age.
[edit] Kenjiro Matsuoka
- Voice: Steve Blum.
Kenjiro Matsuoka is often referred to in the game as 'Matsuken,' a nickname formed from the Japanese traditional method of writing one's surname in front of one's first name; Matsuken is an abbreviation of Matsuoka Kenjiro.
He was born in Hiroshima and initially appears as one of the younger members of the U.N. Party, but was frustrated by their unwillingness to take action. He was goaded into murdering his superiors, Hiroyasu Kurahashi and Shinya Akiba, and then touched by the "God Hand" before he could commit suicide.
Subsequently, he takes command of the U.N. Party and retrieves the Yakumo. He kills Hiro Kasai, who betrayed information about the U.N. Party to the Killer7. He later appears at the gymnasium of Coburn Elementary School shortly after Garcian Smith discovers the corpse of Greg Nightmare. He has knowledge of the Education Ministry of the United States and tells Garcian about it before disappearing.
When Matsuken confronts Garcian in the gymnasium, Matsuken aims an automatic pistol at Garcian’s head. It is worth noticing that this weapon is gold like the gun used by Emir Parkreiner. However this gun is only present in the gymnasium scene and is never elaborated on in the game.
The next time Matsuken is seen is on Battleship Isle just before the end of the final mission "Lion." He tells the awakened Emir Parkreiner that if he is left alive, Japan will destroy the United States, and the player is offered a choice of whether or not to kill him, which affects the ending. If he lives, as promised Japan will destroy the United States in 2014; if he is killed, the reverse will happen, with the U.S. destroying Japan in an attack on the same year.
[edit] Remnant Psyches
The Remnant Psyches are spirits that the Smiths encounter during the course of the story to offer them advice. They are the spirits of those that Harman and the other Smiths killed, but could not absorb to become additional personas. In later episodes, the ghosts of defeated bosses will appear as well.
[edit] Travis Bell
Travis was the first person that Smith ever killed, and is often seen wearing muscle shirts sporting bizarre slogans on them. Usually he will give some sort of hint as to what the player needs to do to move on, or mention important plot points, often relating to the political side of the story. Sometimes these hints are extremely vague.
[edit] Iwazaru
Wenzel Diel Boris Iwazaruskopf VII, or Iwazaru for short, appears to give direct hints to the player; in the first episode, he will give a tutorial on basic controls, and in the save room he will provide as a directory for info on all the information you've gathered so far on anyone and anything related to the game. He appears as a man dressed entirely in red and black bondage gear and suspended above the ground by a red bungee cord. He alwas has his right index finger held before his mouth when he talks.
He always starts a conversation saying something along the lines of "Master, We're in a tight spot..." and every conversation ends with "In the name of Harman..." but the one he had with the player near the beginning of Angel, where he finds out that you're going to try to kill Kun Lan and calls you a fool so he ends the sentence with "in the name of that fool".
At the end of the game, he is revealed to be both a Heaven Smile and an incarnation of Kun Lan.
On a miscellaneous note, he is apparently deeply disturbed by afros as mentioned at the start of the Cloudman episode.
[edit] Kikazaru
Iwazaru's retainer. He appears whenever Soul Shells are close by.
[edit] Mizaru
Iwazaru's ex-wife. She aids KAEDE Smith in which she uses KAEDE's blood to break barriers and absorb blood.
[edit] Yoon-Hyun
Yoon-Hyun is always seen holding a mask in his right hand, and will give you some info regarding what you need to do next. He will tell you that if you want to hear more, to shoot his mask. Upon doing so, you lose some Blood, and Yoon-Hyun changes in appearance slightly, having the mask on his face and using both hands to give the finger. In his previous life, Yoon-Hyun was the informant for the Harman Assassins and he was also the owner of Hotel Union.
[edit] Susie Sumner
Susie Sumner appears as a severed head, which fans believe symbolizes her tendency to "lose her head." She appears six times throughout the game, each time giving a ring possessing magical power. When she does this she says she is returning it, implying it belonged to them before. At every appearance she reveals part of her past, through disjointed speech and internet emoticons. While most of her past is a mystery, we do know that she tried to commit suicide by jumping off of a building, and taking her mother with her, resulting in her mother's death and six months spent in the hospital. She also shot a boyfriend with her father's hunting rifle resulting in being committed to a mental asylum. It is also heavily implied that she kidnapped several men, cutting off their genitals. Her voice is one of the few that can be deciphered easier, too - often giving a rearranged message to the dialouge.
[edit] Kess BloodySunday
Constantly having a horrified expression on his face, Kess is the small boy that the Killer7 meet before fighting a new type of Heaven Smile past the Coliseum. He often gives hints about how to defeat the new Heaven Smiles. His eyes are white, and he indicates that he is blind (at least in death).
Before his death Kess was an apparent serial killer (brought upon by severe child neglect) who had expertise with bomb making. In Kess' own words, his killing was by the hand of the "three eyed monster", Emir Parkreiner. His death occurred on a Sunday, hence his unusual surname.
[edit] Gate-Keeper
The Gate-Keeper is seen in every episode except Cloudman and Alter Ego, usually shortly before the boss, appearing at the entrance of a club with loud music (which, regardless of the current episode's environment, is always the same). During the episode you have to obtain "Soul Shells", which you give to the Gate-Keeper who lets you through. After defeating a new Heaven's Smile, you pass through his area again and progress further into the level.
[edit] Mad Doctor
The Mad Doctor appears on the Blood Room channel on the television in Harman's room. He uses a blood machine to convert thick blood (collected by the Killer7) into serum, which can be used for upgrading the personalities. When the player exceeds the amount of serum for that stage, the blood machine will shut down, making the doctor put up a "Closed" sign telling the player that no more thick blood can be converted. He is similar in appearance to Harman Smith.
[edit] Characters in "ANGEL"
[edit] Red Gunners
The Red Gunners are described by Hand in Killer7 as being a small group of organized criminals composed of two men and two women. They are all killed in some manner in the Angel episode by either Heaven Smiles or in the case of one of the male members, actually becoming a Heaven Smile.
[edit] Angel
Angel is the first evolved Heaven Smile boss enemy of the game. The angel greets Harman Smith and speaks of the thirteen "children", blaming Harman for the deaths of nine of them while the other four "did not die in vain." The player as Harman destroys the angel’s four wings. She falls to the ground but returns to life with four faces where her wings had been (and bloody holes where her eyes were).
As the angel returns to life, Kun Lan’s voice is heard. "You think you killed me? Better think again!"
[edit] Characters in "SUNSET"
[edit] Toru Fukushima
A former member of the Liberal Party and owner of Restaurant Fukushima, Toru Fukushima is the leader of the United Nations Party of Japan; since its establishment, it has become Japan's leading political group.
Near the end of the Killer7's mission inside Restaurant Fukushima, Fukushima reveals to Harman that he, along with the other Liberal members encompassing the Union7, were responsible for the creation of the Yakumo Party Cabinet Policy; documents detailing how to create the ideal nation and perfect society with regard to nationalism and diplomacy. However, due to the fractured nature of the Liberal Party at the time, the Union7 were disbanded and the Yakumo left in the hands of the Party's chief secretary before Fukushima had it stolen. Fukushima's disillusionment with Japan's state of politics, with him believing that politicians were nothing more than actors, is ultimately what caused him to escape to the United States and become a political 'architect' for the U.N. Party.
With his political power of being the leader of the U.N. Party, Fukushima decided to break the Asian Security Treaty in the hope of establishing Japan as an entirely independent state, effectively destroying the relationship between his political party and Japan with the U.S. Government. The motivation was that he realized that Japan's usefulness as an ally to the United States had completely diminished, and that a betrayal by the U.S. Government would be inevitable. However, once the 200+ pulsars from East Asia had launched and were set to target Japan, Fukushima planned to barter the Yakumo with the U.S. Government in exchange for their intervention by launching self-defense missiles.
The International Ethics Committee eventually come to learn about Fukushima's many illicit dealing, and send Jean DePaul to act as a spy. Fukushima is eventually killed by Julia Kisugi, an undercover assassin belonging to the Liberal Party that he once served, as a last attempt to undermine the U.N. Party and gain control of Japan.
Along with being a meaningful politician, Fukushima also wanted to be a tea master.
[edit] Julia Kisugi
A 22 year old assassin hired by the desperate Japanese Liberal Party to kill Toru Fukushima and to retrieve the Yakumo. She goes undercover and works as Toru Fukushima's secretary.
She succeeds in killing Toru Fukushima, but fails to obtain the Yakumo as Jean DePaul had already recovered it. She is forced into a corner and does battle with the Killer7. She loses the duel and commits suicide by breaking off her necklace and biting into it, which activates a bomb that explodes and instantly kills her.
Her true desire was to escape the life of an assassin and to live a normal life. She later appears as a remnant psyche (ghost) during Chapter Cloudman where she thanks the Killer7 because with the result of her death, she has finally found some happiness.
[edit] Jean DePaul
- Voice: James Horan
A 23 year old professional assassin/spy working for the International Ethics Committee in attempt to stop the U.S./Japanese meeting which ended in failure anyway because the U.S. already made up their mind long before the meeting ever began.
Jean DePaul is sent to Restaurant Fukushima and takes on the disguise of an apprentice chef. He succeeds in fooling the Killer7 and manages to keep his identity a secret.
Hiro Kasai tips off Garcian about Jean DePaul and how he is an enemy to the Liberal Party and a threat to the Killer7's mission. At Restaurant Fukushima, Jean's goal was to find Julia and kill her. Jean may not have killed Julia, but his mission succeeds anyway due to the Killer7 interfering and killing Julia.
Jean kills himself after being defeated by MASK DE Smith in the basement of the Kaku Building. He later appears as a remnant psyche (ghost). Despite his death and failed mission, the Internal Ethics Committee still achieved the results they wanted.
Jean secretly admires MASK DE Smith, though he complains his style of wrestling is for little kids.
[edit] Hiroyasu Kurahashi & Shinya Akiba
Kurahashi & Akiba are the two elderly executive members of the Japanese U.N. Party who despise the United States and wish to save Japan. Kurahashi and Akiba view younger U.N. Party member Kenjiro Matsuoka as a foolish and disgraceful politician. When Kenjiro Matsuoka sums up enough courage, he takes the gun and shoots both of the old men. However, they aren't truly dead as they are chosen by Kun Lan and are instantly reborn as evolved Heaven Smile. Their new task: Defeat the Killer7. With Toru Fukushima dead, The U.N. Party is in a chaotic mess, but Kun Lan chooses Kenjiro Matusoka to become the new U.N. leader.
The Killer7 go to the Kaku building where Kurahashi and Akiba put up a rather amusing battle, but they are ultimately defeated. They later appear as remnant psyche ghosts with whom the Killer7 can communicate later on in the game.
[edit] Hiro Kasai
- Voice: Robin Atkin Downes
A 52-year old Japanese informant for the Liberal Party. Hiro Kasai works in cooperation with the United States through connections with Christopher Mills. Hiro reveals information to Garcian Smith regarding the peace-keeping organization known as The International Ethics Committee, that they hired professional assassin/spy Jean DePaul, who has become an enemy to the Japanese Liberal Party. The International Ethics Committee intended for the U.S. to attack Japan. Hiro Kasai wanted the U.S./Japanese Talks to succeed for the sake of the Asian Security Protocol.
Later on, Kenjiro Matsuoka captures Hiro Kasai and makes him dress up in bondage gear in an act of embarrassment and shame for being a fellow Japanese citizen and a political nuisance towards the Japanese U.N. Party's plans. Ultimately, Matsuken makes Hiro jump off the top of a building to make it look like he committed suicide.
[edit] Kuramoto, Ohta, Jeffers & Dudley
The four playing mah-jongg in the basement of the Kaku building are there for a meeting between U.S. and Japan to negotiate the extension of the Asian Security Treaty, according to Hand in Killer7.
The Liberal Party desired an extension of the Asian Security Treaty, and therefore kept its relationship with the U.S. Government in good condition. Oppositely, Toru Fukushima of the United Nations Party completely severed his relationship with the U.S. Government; he ended the security treaty in the interest of establishing Japan as a truly independent state. When the Liberal Party learned about Fukushima's annulment of the Asian Security Treaty, it sent Julia Kisugi to assassinate him; replacing Fukushima in the negotiations with their own Kuramoto and Ohta to maintain Japan-U.S. relations.
Negotiations between the Liberal Party and the U.S. Government had concluded well before the meeting in the Kaku Building, so the meeting was intended to be a mere formality. Unexpectedly, the U.S. Government, represented by Jeffers and Dudley, broke off negotiations; as a result, both sides end up killing each, shooting each other from across the mah-jongg table quite dramatically.
[edit] Spencer
He is a member of the Join Chiefs of Staff, an advisor for the United States. Spencer is tasked with having to call the U.S. President and asking for his decision regarding the launching of the "FireWorks" to intercept the incoming foreign missiles heading for Japan.
[edit] The Three Young Men
They work as waiters at Restaurant Fukushima. Originally human, they have been turned into Heaven Smile and are killed by MASK DE Smith.
[edit] Characters in "CLOUDMAN"
[edit] Andrei Ulmeyda
- Voice: Played by Cam Clarke
Andrei Ulmeyda is a mysterious cult leader who resents the Heaven Smile. In fear of becoming one, he challenges Garcian Smith to kill him if he does. He runs the "Company" First Life Inc., which in actuality, doesn't exist. Andrei somehow managed to find a part of the Yakumo, possibly while working at his former job at the city's post office.
The Killer7 find Andrei Ulmeyda in Texas where they witnessed his confession to having injected himself with various deadly viruses and overcoming them. His big risk paid off when he managed to create medical vaccines. Andrei Ulmeyda gets a satisfying feeling when flirting with death. Shortly after, the U.S. Emergency Countermeasure Defense Department ambushes and captures Andrei Ulmeyda and injected him with viral sample of Heaven Smile DNA for a top-secret experimental military project. Andrei Ulmeyda instantly transforms into an uncontrollable evolved Heaven Smile. His acid-like blood rains down, contaminating the area and killing everyone except for the Killer7 and Gabriel Clemence. In keeping with Andrei's promise to be killed if he were to ever become a Heaven Smile, the Killer7 perform a mercy killing and elimate Andrei Ulmeyda as a threat.
[edit] Gabriel Clemence
- Voice: Chris Cox
His first name means "Hero of God" and his last name means "mercy". Clemence is a loyal cult member and worships Andrei Ulmeyda as his master and God. He is chosen by Andrei Ulmeyda and manages to survive the "Drive Yourself to Death" test. After Andrei Ulmeyda's death, Andrei passes on the message of his teachings to Clemence as the protégé. Christopher Mills eventually buys the car, becoming its new owner, but after he is killed at the hands of Linda Vermillion, Emir Parkreiner becomes the next owner of the car and uses it to travel across the intercontinental expressways to reach Battleship Island.
[edit] Cult Member
A fervent believer in Andrei Ulmeyda. He appears as a remnant psyche. However, the circumstances surrounding his death are unknown. He gives hints to the Killer7 as they make their way to find Andrei Ulmeyda.
He has a love for Ulmeyda's film autobiography.
[edit] Man in Photograph
He was killed for having hidden Ulmeyda figurine #12.
[edit] Old Man

He admits that he gazes up at Ulmeyda's posters everyday.
[edit] Drug Store Employee
She carries her lazy attitude with her to work. She dislikes afros and feels that it is about time for the freaky Andrei Ulmeyda to change his hairstyle.
She is a repressed woman who is doing what she can to make a living.
[edit] Postman
He tends to believe that Andrei Ulmeyda is nothing more than a crafty con-artist. Ulmeyda was originally his co-worker. He regrets not having the convenient use of the Yakumo.
[edit] Security Guard
He works as a loyal Ulmeyda City security guard for First Life Inc. His only job is to stop and question suspicious people who do not have the appropriate clearance to enter the First Life Inc. HQ building. He means well yet he honestly has no idea what First Life does.
[edit] General Lynch
A man involved with the U.S. Emergency Countermeasure Defense Department. His mission was to lead his forces in the capture of Andrei Ulmeyda and inject him with a viral sample of Heaven Smile DNA. The U.S. military wanted to use Andrei Ulmeyda along with his created vaccines.General Lynch ultimately fails the mission when Andrei Ulmeyda became an uncontrollable evolved Heaven Smile and his toxic blood contaminates the area which kills General Lynch as well as the rest of the military personnel.
[edit] Characters in "ENCOUNTER"
[edit] Curtis Blackburn
- Voice: Alastair Duncan
Back in the day, he worked along with Dan Smith as a member of the Seattle Self-Defense Department. Curtis is the man responsible for teaching Dan Smith how to be a killer. For the past 15 years, Curtis was working sanctioned government jobs thanks to the U.S. Opposition Party.
Years ago, Pedro Montana set up Dan Smith to look like Dan had betrayed Curtis Blackburn. Pedro then sent Curtis to kill Dan.
Curtis and Pedro become involved in an organ trafficking operation where Curtis would round up only young girls while Pedro would take the boys. Pedro ends up betraying Curtis by taking more money and attempts to live a normal life with his family. Curtis Blackburn leaves Ayame to continue on with the organ trafficking operation while Curtis deals with a personal matter. Curtis eventually finds Pedro and ruthlessly kills his family, hands Pedro his daughter's decapitated head and then shoots Pedro in the back of the head. Curtis and Pedro are linked to the U.S. Opposition Party which controls the U.S. Immigration Bureau.
The Killer7 are eventually given a mission by the U.S. government to put a stop of the children kidnappings. They go to IZSK Island Amusement Park which turns out to be a front for Curtis to use Ayame to capture young girls. After tracking her bus, they end up at the Blackburn residence. Here, the Killer7 end up finding Curtis Blackburn's secret underground lab where he harvests organs and Dan has an old fashioned gun draw with Curtis. Dan wins and Curtis is cut up by numerous saws. With Curtis, Ayame and Pedro now all dead, the illegal operation of organ trafficking drastically slows down the disappearance of children and the production of man-made Heaven Smile.
It would seem that Curtis has his own supernatural abilities like levitation. Curtis also has a pet pigeon that is used during the quick draw battle between Dan and Curtis during the second part of Encounter. He is armed with a pair of Browning Hi-Powers.
[edit] Pedro Montana
The cowardly and greedy former agent of the Seattle Self-Defense Department is responsible for having betrayed Dan and Curtis Blackburn.
This was because Pedro siphoned capital to a foreign syndicate. He became selfish when he tried to skim a little off the top. The members of the Seattle self-defense force signed a pact of brotherhood in blood. Traitors are punished by death. He framed Dan by having him launder the dirty money to make Dan look like the traitor. Pedro then sent Curtis to kill Dan.
Pedro betrays Curtis Blackburn involving their black market organ trafficking operation, thinking he could escape and lead a normal life with his family. He was previously the middleman who controlled the organ trade routes during the partnership.
Pedro was also responsible for the assault on the U.S. Immigration office by monopolizing the market. The original deal was that Pedro would get the boys while Curtis would get the girls. He broke the deal when he proceeded to take female orphans as well. His reason for doing this was because of the short supply of fresh organs and he knew that the Heaven Smile caused the birthrate to drop more rapidly. Increases in contagious diseases started to eat away at the bodies, and control on the market of boys was not enough to make a profit on so Pedro took Curtis's share of the girls.
His selfish actions come back to haunt him when Curtis Blackburn realizes the truth and seeks revenge by killing his family and then executing Pedro.

Ayame has a passion for anime cosplay which includes wearing a schoolgirl uniform and an animegao mask resembling the facial features of a female anime heroine. In addition, she enjoys making radically cliché introduction speeches in Japanese and striking action poses like that of Sailor Moon among other magical girl-based characters.

With the Heaven Smile an all too real threat to the United States, the U.S. Military developed a secret project in attempt to destroy the Heaven Smile.

They became so dangerous that the U.S. government had to call in the Killer7 to stop the Handsome Men and their apparent leader, Trevor Pearlharbor who is living in the Dominican Republic.
The Handsome Men all begin with the same first name "Handsome" which is much like how the Killer7 all share the same surname "Smith": Handsome Red, Handsome Blue, Handsome Light Brown, Handsome Dead, Handsome Purple, Handsome White Pearl, Handsome Pink, Handsome Gold, and Handsome Black.

Iwazaru comes to exist in reality due to forming a physical body. He has lost much of his bondage gear including his bungee cord. In addition, he no longer puts his finger over his mouth and repeats the line "In the name of Harman".
