[edit] The Millennium Earl
(千年伯爵 Sennen Hakushaku?)
Seiyū: Takiguchi Junpei
The antagonist who lures people with dead relatives and friends to produce Akumas. He plans to lead the world to its death. Currently, he has combined forces with the Noah family who call him "Duke Millennium". Hoshino says she based the Earl of Millennium off a legendary alchemist/preacher (most likely the Count of St Germain) whose tale even claims he still may be alive somewhere. Interestingly, almost every one of the Earl's lines of dialogue ends with a heart. He has 2 primary personalities. The first is his normal cheerful, friendly, and happy attitude while the other is that of sheer sadistic malice. He also wears a different hat in each encounter, each with a different decoration. In a gag comic in Volume 2 of D.Gray-man, he is shown taking off his hat, and having another set of ears. VIZ calls the Earl of Millennium "the Millennium Earl", simply for the sake of saving room in the text bubbles and because its more euphonious to western readers.
His main form of combat involves his umbrella Lero. He has also shown the ability to create massive explosions of dark energy.
[edit] Lero
(レロ Rero?)
Seiyū: Shizuka Ito
Lero is the Earl's talking umbrella and golem. It does not do much except from screaming around, adding its own name on almost every sentence said by it. When used by Earl, it works as a flying umbrella or as a sword, converting into a blade. It's very loyal to Earl and likes to stay with him, but Road often takes Lero with her against Lero's connivance. When in her usage, he acts as a witch's broom and an umbrella. Right now, Lero was left behind by the Earl to stay with the Exorcist's group probably to guide them through Noah's ark.
[edit] Cell Roron
(セル・ロロン Seru Roron?)
The tiny keeper of Tyki Mikk's delete list. He is kept on a cage inside a card. He can identify a person listed on the cell wall just by looking at it. He can state too if the person is already dead among the other names of people who died left from the walls of the cage where he lives.
[edit] The Noah Family
ノアの一族 Noa no ichizoku
The direct descendants of Noah and his sons. A family of superhumans who cooperate with the Earl. They have the power to destroy Innocence. One of their most distinctive traits is a line of crosses on their foreheads. The Noah Family is also unique in that they have two different forms, a civilian "white" form and a "black" form used when they act on behalf of the Earl. The Millennium Earl stated that Skin Boric is one of 13 apostles, so it can be confirmed that there are 13 Noahs. Only four have been shown thus far (See Debit and Jasdero), so it's possible that in the future eight more Noahs will be introduced (One of the Noahs was killed by Earl when he betrayed the family).
[edit] Jasdebi
(ジャスデビ Jasudebi?)
Twins who, together, represent the "bonds" of Noah. Of the two of them, Debit (デビット Debitto?) appears to be the more dominant and calculating of the two, and plays the role of the older brother. Jasdero (ジャスデロ Jasudero?), despite his strange appearance and stitched mouth, is the submissive, more innocent of the two. He has an affinity for his hair, and seeks comfort with Debit when it gets damaged. They resent being called "the twins", and instead opt to refer to themselves with the singularity Jasdebi. Both Debit and Jasdero carry six round revolvers, and have a habit of aiming them at everything, including one another. Originally, the Earl ordered them to assassinate Cross Marian of the Black Order, and to date they have failed to kill him three times. Their most recent attempt brought them to Edo, where instead of finding the general, they found themselves saddled with Cross's debts.
They later venture into the Ark to seek vengeance against Allen, claiming that "a student has to pay his master's bills." During the confrontation, Lero reveals that the guns Jasdebi carries were bought off the black market, and can't even be loaded in normal circumstances. Instead, the guns serve as a focus for their power of Materialization (実現) - when Debit and Jasdero imagine something simultaneously, it will become reality. Using this power, they're able to manifest a number of techniques, such as:
- Blue Bomb (青ボム): Materializes bullets that will freeze anything they hit
- Red Bomb (赤ボム): Their bullets create a fiery explosion
- White Bomb (白ボム): Destroys anything in its path
- Purple Bomb (紫ボム): "Deceiving Spectacles"; covers the eyes of the enemies with paint and traps them in an illusory reality.
- Green Bomb (緑ボム): A person is trapped in a bubble filled with slime.
- Jasdebi's Hate (ジャスデビの怨念): In hatred, they materialize a monster that seems to be made of numerous dead human bodies. The monster moves according to Jasdebi's will.
- "The Earl, from a time where he was laughing but was actually really pissed." (笑ってる×けど×実はすっげー怒ってる時の×千年公): They materialize an illusion of the Earl that is derived from a past memory.
The twins are also able to merge into a single entity by shooting each other in the head. In this form, Jasdebi no longer uses revolvers as a focus for his abilities, and is able to physically overwhelm the exorcists and use his hair as a weapon. He attributes this strength to the desire to materialize "the strongest imagined body."
[edit] Road Kamelot
(ロード・キャメロット Rōdo Kyamerotto?)
Seiyū: Shimizu Ai
Road Camelot is the first Noah introduced in the D. Gray-man series, appearing to Allen, Linali, and Miranda in the Rewinding Town arc. She appears to be thirteen years old, but scenes from three years earlier show her at the exact same age as current chapters. Speculation on this varies from artist error to the possibility of the Noah family lacking the ability to physically age, but confirmation has yet to be given by the mangaka. Road has an affinity for candies and blood, as well as a childlike enjoyment of birthday-reminiscent themes.
Road has a plethora of supernatural abilities, ranging from the ability to travel to an alternate dimension through a door that appears at her will to complete regeneration after injury. Her dimensional space is in the form of a wrapped present, while her weapons of choice are levitating candles that can be sharpened to waxen stakes. While inside her personal dimension, she can control nonliving objects within the area; For instance, her stake-like candles fly to attack at her will.
Road's personality and home life are surprisingly normal, despite her role as a villain. She has a childlike need to be entertained at all times, usually by the Earl's parasol Lero, and forces Tyki to entertain her when Lero will not. She shows a tendency to procrastinate on schoolwork, like many children her age, and appears to be in trouble for skipping classes often. Despite her childlike tendencies, she has also shown signs of extreme sadism and seems to enjoy watching the suffering of others, including stabbing Allen through the eye, killing an akuma subordinate for no other reason then to anger Allen, and nailing Miranda’s hands to a clock while writing profanity on the wall in her blood.
Her relationships with the other members of the Noah family all vary on a basis quite similar to a normal family situation; She looks up to Tyki as an older brother and is very close to him, while the twins appear to bicker with her often in an sibling-like, affectionate manner. Her relationship with Skin is unknown, as almost no interaction between the two is shown in the series.
Despite Road's young appearance, she is considered the First Child by Debit and Jasdero, which suggests that she was the first Noah to awaken in the current generation. Due to this fact, she is the only Noah capable of programming Noah's Ark, and appears to have the favoritism of the Millenium Earl. She represents Noah's "Dreams". Road's nationality is unknown, and her information is listed as 'secret' when placed in her profile by the mangaka. Her name is not a reference to the legend of King Arthur. In fact, there is a Japanese jewelry company that Hoshino specifically states it is a reference to[1]. She seems to like Allen in a strange way - in chapter 110, she kisses him. According to Tyki, the only person Road kissed before was the Earl. She also hugged him during the Rewinding Town Arc.
[edit] Skin Boric
(スキン・ボリック Sukin Borikku?)
Seiyū: Miyake Kenta
Another descendant of Noah who's assigned to kill Froi Tiedoll (the General being escorted by Kanda and Marie) who has also come to Japan. He is accidentally run over by Debit and Jasdero's carriage. Skin was first shown in the early manga where he showed disgust at the Earl's dinner, saying he preferred sweets over a hard-boiled egg. He got so angry over dinner that he destroyed the Akuma who prepared the meal with his bare hands and then began to grow large spikes from his arm and back where his skin had peeled off. Because of this, Tyki always calls him "Sweet Tooth" instead of his real name.
In a flashback, it is discovered that he worked in New Orleans at the docks three years before the story of the manga. During this time, he exhibited the Noah's genes which allowed him to recall the 7000 years old memories of Noah causing him great pain and nightmares. It is then that he declares that he will never "forgive it (the Innocence)". The rage of Noah was transferred into his body and he saw the state of the world from perspective of the Millennium Earl. In addition to recovering these memories, he meets Road and the Earl, who gives him his first taste of candy to stop him from biting his fingers in pain.
He challenges Kanda to a fight after revealing to have been stalking him for an extended period of time. He is able to transform into a large golem-like creature that is capable of shooting and manipulating lightning. This form is the personification of his own inner rage and gives him a body with an amazing resistance and strength. If the enemy is strong enough to wound him, it will get an electrical shock due to the fact Skin's body is full of electricity. Using his ability, he can use the techniques:
- Lightning (雷): A very large electrical discharge is shoot by his mouth to hit the enemy;
- Divine Punishment (神罰): Having his attacks blocked or getting hit, Skin's energy will flow into the enemy's body slowly. When the energy is strong enough, it will become chains that connect the two (Skin and the opponent). The chains will restrain the enemy's movements and, with the Divine Punishment technique, give strong electrical discharges directly into the inside of the enemy's body.
He represents the "hatred" of Noah.
Since he comes from New Orleans, it would be safe to assume that he is American.
[edit] Tyki Mikk
(ティキ・ミック Tiki Mikku?)
Seiyū: Morikawa Toshiyuki
Shortly after Allen meets Arystar and recruits him into becoming an ally, he met Tyki. The man lives a double life: his "white side" that is a carefree and goofy man who travels with humans that love to play poker, and his sadistic "dark side" that has a lust for blood and takes up his role as Noah's descendant (and therefore, one of the antagonists). Tyki and his group suckers Arystar into a game of strip poker, winning literally all his assets, but Allen interferes and plays against them. He wins (with cheating learned from years spent with Cross), and Tyki gives him a pack of playing cards before his group departs. The author gives the first hint that something is wrong when the group is revealed to have in their possession a chunk of silver with the name Kevin Yeegar on it - the name of the exorcist general that had recently been killed. In their next encounter, Allen meets Tyki's Noah side, and, after a talk, Tyki leaves him to die from a heart wound inflicted by Tease (a flesh-eating type of golem in the form of a butterfly) after destroying his Innocence, spreading out the same cards he had given Allen over the boy's body. After realizing that Allen's name would not come off the walls of the jail cell, he goes with Jasdero and Debit to find Cross.
Tyki, who is of Portuguese descent, is arguably one of the strongest antagonists that the series has seen so far (excluding the Earl). He is capable of going through solid objects, touching only what he wants to (for example, he can rip someone's heart out without making a flesh wound or allow physical attacks to pass harmlessly through him, or even use it to walk on air) and uses a caniballistic golem called Tease (given to him by the Earl of Millennium) with a number of different weapons and abilities. He was responsible for the death of one of the 5 exorcist generals, and has killed over 6 other exorcists himself, including Suman Dark (whom Allen had tried to save), Tina Spark, Gwen Frere, Sol Galen, Kazanna Reed, Chakar Rabon, and Daisya Barry.
Tyki represents the "pleasure" of Noah; he is also one of the kinder Noah.
Tyki greatest fear appears to be losing his three human friends.
[edit] Traitor Noah
A Noah who betrayed the Earl by giving the power to control it to a human (suspected, by the Earl, to be Cross Marian), resulting in the malfunction of the old Ark. Because of this treachery, the Earl killed the family member himself.
[edit] Unknown Noah
A female Noah that appears in Volume 3 during the Earl's dinner. Nothing is shown about her yet.
[edit] The Earl's henchmen
[edit] Akuma
Numerous akuma have been seen in the series. A few have been named, and a few have had backgrounds revealed. Some characters have been introduced, and then turned into akumas. The akuma here are akuma who have been named, and have been their own person, separate from the souls imbedded into their circuitry.
[edit] Baseball akuma
The Baseball Akuma was with the Machine Gun Akuma Swarm. It attacked Allen and Lavi from ontop of a building by hitting steel at them, which melted after impact. It was destroyed by Lavi. Another one (or the same one) was seen behind a building when Allen and Lavi left for the hospital. Another one attacked the hotel room where Bookman, Komui, and Lenalee were. It killed the two finders, but was beaten into a million pieces by Bookman. It was ultimatly destroyed by Lenalee when it made one final jump for Komui. It delivered the message of the Earl of Millennium's declaration of war on the world and the Black Order.
One interesting characteristic of this akuma is that it does not have a level 1 akuma face anywhere on its body. This is due to the fact that all level 2 akuma have a level one face somewhere on their body (or even as their real face).
[edit] Crea akuma
Crea was killed when a cast iron cross skewered her when the rope suspending it, broke. In a deep state of grief, Mark partnered with the Earl of Millennium to resurrect her as an akuma. However, the Earl ordered her to kill him and wear his skin, and she was powerless to resist. Posing as Mark, she would kill anyone in the old church at night. When Moore came to investigate the murders and disappearances, she came across Allen. Allen revealed what Mark really was, but not before it wiped out the entire police force, save for Moore. Allen then exorcised the akuma back into Crea and allowed her to rest in peace.
[edit] Eliade
(エリアーデ Eriāde?)
Seiyū: Okamoto Maya
A level 2 Akuma that serves The Earl of Millennium. The sacrifice used to make her was a beautiful woman so that was the corpse she assumed as her human form. Eliade believed that this was the reason why, after recovering her intellect when she evolved into a level 2 Akuma, she became obsessed with beauty and shopping. Although her beauty let her become a popular woman, her Akuma nature always made her feel hungry and ended up showing her ugly self. Even so, she felt incomplete and wanted something that, as an Akuma, she believed was impossible for her. After that, she met Krory and the two began a complex relationship. She was later killed by Arystar Krory after he discovered her secret. Eliade could produce bubbles that absorb all the water inside the victim's body in an instant.
[edit] Eshi
(エシ Eshi?)
A level three Akuma encountered by Lenalee and her team on the way to Edo. Eshi had the ability to manipulate gravity, along with the superhuman strength and agility granted to level three Akuma. Before becoming an Akuma, Eshi was a painter, shown by the way he starts every sentence he makes with "Title" as though he's naming a painting. Lenalee's battle with Eshi almost cost her her life.
[edit] Hobo Akuma
A level 0 akuma that tried to attack Jean. Jean warned everyone that it was an akuma, but no one believed him. This akuma was destroyed by Allen. This akuma's human form has long hair with a ring holding them together on each side.
[edit] Clock Akuma Squad
(アイス, 風切 and パング Aisu, Kazekiri and Pangu?)
Seiyū: Nagasako Takashi (Ice), Mogami Tsuguo (Kazekiri), & Matsuda Yuki (Pang)
A squad of akuma who attacked Allen, Miranda, and Linali when they were in the "Rewinding Town".
Ice stands on two bulky looking arms with a wind key on its torso, which later on turns into his "gas fire" form. Even though his takes the form of "fire", Ice still seems to posses the mechanical qualities of all akuma (this is shown when Allen slices off his arm in his "gas fire" form and bits of gears and bolts are shown in his wound). This akuma produces "Ice Fire", which are flames that burn at 100 degrees below zero. Ice self-destructed under Road's orders. Because the Akuma self-destructed, the trapped soul could not be saved. This caused Allen to weep, not for the Akuma, but for the lost soul. He was the second to be destroyed, and the first akuma in the series to self-destruct. He wore his level 1 akuma face as an armband. Ice posed as a pickpocket to trick Allen and Lenalee into chasing him so Road could capture Miranda. His pockpocket skin had long hair and a brown jacket.
Kazekiri has two blades for arms that split into 4 blades, that resembles somewhat of a buzzsaw, which can create blades of air. It was one of the few level 2 Akuma who's level 1 face is still its face. He was destroyed when Lenalee punched his face out and sliced him in half, and he was the last to be destroyed.
Finally, Pang has four heads, and five faces counting the level one Akuma face which appears on every level 2 Akuma, which it wore like a belt buckle, and has an arm band on one of its arms. He can produce destructive sound waves called "Punk Voice". He also resembled a candle. He was destroyed was Allen jumped on him and blew him up, and he was the first to be destroyed.
Their original group also consisted of three level 1.5 akuma and another level 2 akuma that resembled a centipede and had three tongues. The four of them were destroyed by Allen in the initial bar fight. There was also another level 2 akuma that was destroyed by Allen in a dark ally when it attacked Miranda Lotto. Its mid-section resembled Ice's, but appeared to sit on a lamp shade, had one arm that seemed to just float in the general area that it should be, and had a head that looked like a poorly made temari with a mouth held together by the level 1 akuma face that was on the side of its head, who was referred to as "Akuma". In the manga, it had the ability to float around what looked like floating bowling balls, but in the anime, it shoots beams of purple energy from its mouth like the Centipede akuma.
[edit] Leo Akuma
Jean's friend Leo's mother had passed away suddenly one day. The impact on Leo was great. He enlisted the help of the Earl of Millennium, and she became an Akuma. The Earl ordered her to kill him and wear his skin, and she was powerless to resist. The Akuma was then assigned to pose as Leo to get close to Jean, and lure him into a trap. The trap would have worked if only Allen hadn't come. Allen destroyed all of the Akuma present, including the Leo Akuma.
[edit] Machine gun akuma swarm
One town's population was turned completely into akumas. All of these akuma seemed to have a long gun barrel for part of their face, and had one large machine gun on their chests. Some had alligator-like snouts, with guns sticking out. They attacked Allen and Lavi in both the anime, and in the 4th volume of the manga when they were out for a walk, but they were all destroyed. Their level is 1 according to Lavi despite not bearing the classic spherical designs, but this may be because they only half transformed into Akuma, transforming part of their body only.
[edit] Mr. Converted Akuma
"Mr. Converted Akuma", as he was called by Froi Tiedoll, was the converted akuma escort to Edo of Tiedoll and his group. He chastised Tiedoll when he told his team to aid Cross's team, ultimately leaving him unguarded. He self-destructed when he started feeling 'hungry'. He resembled a large wasp.
[edit] Pierrot
(ピエロ Piero?)
Seiyū: Hidenari Ugaki
The first level 2 Akuma encountered by Allen and Kanda. He was inroduced as a level 1.5 akuma, and evolved to level 2 after shooting through his force field prison and blowing up a finder's head. It has the ability to clone anyone and their power, even the ability to fly (due to the two bat wings on its back). However, it is personified that it can also copy the appearance and abilities of elements (which is shown when it transformed into sand when it had its final attack on Allen and Kanda). However, when he mimics other people his appearance is a mirror image, with each side reversed. Pierrot was ultimately destroyed by the combined powers of Allen and Kanda. He was the first level 2 akuma, as well as the first level 1.5 akuma, to be shown in the series. He is also, as of yet, the only akuma to be shown evolving.
[edit] Sachiko
(サチコ Sachiko?)
A level 2 Akuma that once served The Earl of Millennium. Although Sachiko is a male Akuma, his body is very effeminate so apparently, the sacrifice that was used to create him was a woman. In some moment, he crossed paths with Cross Marian and was converted by him. Partialy free from the Earl's orders, he became a loyal follower of Marian and was with him in Edo. He was sent by Cross to deliver a message to Lenalee and company and to lead them safely to Edo. Even so, the Earl's will still had some influence on the converted Akuma's minds, making them suffer greatly if they try to reject their Akuma nature. Sachiko liked to end his phrases with "cho" so Lavi nicknamed him "Chomesuke". Sachiko's abilities are unknown, although he has great strength (due to his ability to push Anita's boat).
[edit] Thread
A level 3 akuma that fought Allen while Eshi was fighting Lenalee. Like Eshi, he was a level 3 akuma. He was hand-chosen by Tyki Mikk to use Road's door to enter the Asia Branch to assassinate Allen, and therefore was accompanied by a Tease. He was able to break in, but was caged in the large room where Allen had trained. In order to keep Thread from going too berserk, Fou took the image of Allen and trapped herself in the room with it. When Allen got in, Fou was nearly dead. He was destroyed by Allen, but he didn't care because he was too "happy". He was the one to reveal the Noahs' whereabouts, and was the first akuma to be destroyed by Allen's gamma form. He had the ability to send energy "threads" from cylinders on his arms into his enemies and tear their atomic structure apart.
[edit] Combined Akuma
An enormous Akuma that was the result of large numbers of Akuma in Edo fusing. It had three faces, two on its cheeks and one larger one in the middle. Its main attack, "Evil Star Gita" consisted of five balls appearing around its main body in the form of an upside down pentagram, shooting vastly destructive laser-like beams. Sachiko was hit and presumably killed by one of these beams in an attempt to attack it. Eventually it was caught in Mari's threads and poisoned by the melody he played with them. It was finished off by Kanda slicing its main face in half, surprising onlookers by making it look easy after others had tried and failed. Two more of these Akuma were created by the Earl of Millennium.
