->"My country, my power, my family...I give them up willingly. Let me stay by your side, Taki."
->Voiced by: KazuhikoInoue
Formerly a pilot of the Western Alliance, he was assigned to keep an eye on Taki at the MilitaryAcademy. Upon Taki's deportation he decided to give up all his rights to follow him, becoming Taki's knight despite all the discrimination and suspicion he is subject to.
* BadassNickname: Klaus was called Lycanthrope when he was a pilot, which is another word for werewolf. Berkut still calls him by it.
* BastardBoyfriend: Conflicted variety.
* BlondGuysAreEvil: He is not evil, but definitely morally ambiguous (read: raping Taki).
* TheChampion: To Taki.
* EyesOfGold: No doubt to emphasize the "wolf" association.
* FunctionalAddict: Deconstructed. It's heavily implied he used to be addicted to morphine.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Comes off as pure {{Jerkass}} at times, but he does deeply care for Taki, and has helped out other characters as well.
* TheMole: There are hints that he has been spying for the Western Alliance. His loyalty to Taki is unquestionable though.
** [[spoiler: Confirmed in the manga; he was assigned to get close to Taki. BecomingTheMask definitely applies, though.]]
* ShellShockedVeteran

* DissonantSerenity: Commented that her dinner was "boring" after poisoning the whole Cabinet and later had no trouble sleeping in a train full of corpses. She was also remarkably calm when facing a berserking Taki who could have killed her in a second.

A trio of young soldiers who grew up with Taki and serve in his personal tank crew aboard the Murakumo. Azusa gains more prominence in Vol. 2 when he offers to go on the train mission when no one else was willing to.
