History Characters / ShadowHearts1

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HideyukiTanaka (JP), Creator/WayneGrayson (EN, ''Shadow Hearts''), Creator/KirkThornton (EN, Covenant)\\

Hyuga is Yuri's father and the husband of Anne. He is a member of the Japanese Army Intelligence force. Like his son, he is a Harmonixer who is also skilled in martial arts.

%%* AliceAllusion: An example of the loli interpretation. Despite not being a goth herself, the dark atmosphere of the game makes up for it. [[spoiler:Alice also dies in the canon ending.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The small grave that appears in Yuri's graveyard after Alice's DealWithTheDevil, whose name is clouded until very late in the game.
* {{Foil}}: To Arcane Olga. Where Olga is the constant female companion of our BigBad with unholy powers and a flare for sadism, Alice is the constant female companion of our hero with holy powers and an empathetic nature.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Alice sacrifices her soul in place of Yuri's.]]
* MagikarpPower: Alice starts off with only one healing spell, and has weak physical power (to say nothing of her Sanity Points, which are the lowest of the main party). However, as the game goes on, her healing spells get stronger and she gains an attack spell that hits like a TANK.

* RescueIntroduction: Yuri rescues her from Roger Bacon in the beginning of ''Shadow Hearts''.

* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:The Abel to his half brother, Dehuai, representing Cain.]]
* GoodCounterpart: He is this to [[spoiler:Dehuai, who is his brother]].

* AFatherToHisMen: While he may only be an antiquated lord, he will react violently if his subjects are in danger.

* StreetUrchin

* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: He was Roger’s prized student until the Vatican imprisoned him for pursuing civil-rights of the downtrodden.

* TheHeretic: He was branded a heretic by the Church for speaking up for civil rights. After that, he figured he might as well become a true heretic and took up black magic.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: She hates the Inquisitors, but not for the torture — she's fine with the torture. She hates them for using Christianity to justify it. The only reason she doesn't kill them is they are essential pawns.

%%* RedEyesTakeWarning

* DeceptiveDisciple: To Master Xifa, whom he and Zhuzhen studied under together.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He may ultimately be played for a chump, but the build-up for him is palpable; if you missed the one or two foreshadowing signs for "Bacon", you could be forgiven for thinking Dehuai was the end.

* FoodChainOfEvil: Kawashima is trying to put a stop to him, Wugui willingly submits to him as his mystical benefactor, local Chinese boogeymen are actually easily dominated by him, woe unto any who would cross the great Dehuai! [[spoiler: Hey, Bacon? What are you chuckling about?]]
* {{Foil}}: To Zhuzhen - both learned Taoist oracles attuned to the natural world and a sense of awe for their homeland, but Dehuai is using said patriotic awe as an excuse to hurt people and bend the natural world to his whims. They are also both siblings and trained under the same master — one just went evil where the other went good.

* TattooedCrook: In his official artwork.
* TheTriadsAndTheTongs: Originally, he was a crime boss hailing from the Kowloon Walled City.

* HopeSpot: She finally got up the resolve to undo her curse by killing her father quickly in his sleep for the Blue Dragon, but he’s gone out fishing and gets killed at sea at the whims of The Blue Dragon, making the curse permanent. [[spoiler: Turns out “the Blue Dragon” was Dehuai the entire time just screwing with her once he’d subverted her local totem.]]

* TheCorruptible: She was once an innocent woman until her local totem offered her a series of [[SadisticChoice sadistic choices]] at first to save her father and then to find true love if she killed him. It’s no wonder she is now haunting her village as a lost soul.

* InTheBack: [[spoiler:How she dies, courtesy of her escort sent by Minister Ishimura.]]

* MommasBoy: Psychotically so, to the point OedipusComplex is probably not strong enough a word. All of the horrific shit he pulled in the Orphanage was to bring back his mother. [[spoiler:Just like Patrick, he fails so badly that the ''[[CameBackWrong thing]]'' he creates kills him on sight.]]

%%* {{Bishounen}}

* BoobsOfSteel: The strongest fighter in the first half of the game next to Yuri, and even at the end, she and Keith are the strongest. And of course, she's far more buxom than Alice.

* HistoricalBeautyUpgrade: While real-life Mata Hari wasn't ugly by any means, she wasn't a blue-eyed blonde with BoobsOfSteel like in this game. She was instead a dark-eyed brunette, and [[ACupAngst very modest]] in the chest department.

* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Wugui ends up dying, but is bought back as a mindless puppet by Albert Simon.]]

* TheTriadsAndTheTongs: Originally, he was a crime boss hailing form the Kowloon Walled City.

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Her spirit was summoned by Dehuai to capture Alice.]]

* FoodChainOfEvil: Kawashima is trying to put a stop to him, Wugui willing submits to him as his mystical benefactor, local Chinese boogeymen are actually easily dominated by him, woe unto any who would cross the great Dehuai! [[spoiler: Hey, Bacon? What are you chuckling about?]]

%%* TheChick

** This goes a step further in the ''Koudelka'' manga -- The Royal Medical Society was sponsoring Patrick Heyworth's experiments to get their hands on the Émigré Manuscript when he was done; Lord Lesley was using the ambition of the Society as an excuse to resurrect his daughter; and De Gaulle was just giving Lesley false hope so he could get his hands on the Émigré Manuscript to become an Eldritch God. Despite this massive web of conspiracies behind conspiracies behind tragedy, ''no one'' factored in the guy who actually ''stole'' the Émigré Manuscript for Patrick in the first place, coming back and swiping it before anyone could get their payoff.
** Even with Dehuai [[WithMyDyingBreathISummonYou sacrificing himself]] to complete his ritual, it was still too far beyond his pay-grade to do anything. But after that initial sigh of relief that it was an AntiClimax instead of AttackOfThe50FootWhatever, you may wonder: how did Dehuai come across that spell in first place if it was so far beyond him? At which point "Bacon" shows up... OhCrap!

* AlchemyIsMagic: It's hard to tell where the line is between science and Necromancy with Jack.

* MommasBoy: Psychotically so, to the point OedipusComplex is probably not strong enough a word. All of the horrific shit he pulled in the Orphanage was to bring back his mother. [[spoiler:He fails so badly that the ''thing'' he creates kills him on sight.]]

* SplitPersonality: His journals and the journals of one of the children in his orphanage are starkly contrasted. In front of the kids his inner child takes over and in the lab, his standard mad scientist personality runs the show. However both are raving psychopaths. He starts with a monologue of evil but his final words are that of a scared child apologizing to his mommy.

* EnemyWithout: Fox Face is NighInvulnerable assassin the Four Masks summon if you don't check your Malice buildup.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: When Alice offers her life to spare Yuri's soul the Masks are utterly perplexed as to why she would do this. The Sword Mask in particular is down-right intrigued by the absurdity of love.
-->'''Sword Mask''':"[[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove I will watch with interest. Is there really such a thing as this "love"...?]]"

** The masks send Alice to face Atman late rin the game, which is unwinnable for her alone. Canonically, she loses the battle, and her soul in the process, but in the good ending (which, if you look at it with Covenant's good ending in mind, can have a place in canon) Yuri pulls himself together in time to show up and defeat him, saving them both.

* {{Foil}}: To Margarete. Both spies/star agents for their governments, both femme fatales, both based on real people [[spoiler: executed as spies]]. Where Margarete eventually becomes the sort of altruist she was pretending to be, Lt. Col. Kawashima never loses sight of her goal, though she does develop a conscience along the way. And where Margarete is working with the heroes, Kawashima is trying to catch them.
* FourStarBadass: A high ranking soldier with several honors to her name and an utterly ruthless attitude.

* InterimVillain: She is the first threat not in any way an appendage of the Big Bad's carefully outlined plans. Her appearances balance out the sections of the game when Yuri and friends are waiting for the next ArcVillain pawn of a pawn of the {{Big Bad}}. For bonus points, she is easily the most competent threat other than the Big Bad himself.

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Subverted. Roger decides to bring her back for Yuri, and the two NEARLY succeed in doing so, but the ritual fails at the last second. She was alive long enough to exchange "I love you"s with Yuri, though. Word of God confirms that Yuri manages to go back and save her to achieve the Good ending from the original SH.]]

* DamselInDistress: Justified, as the villains need her powers for their plans to work. Also, she lacks combat experience and is quite delicate. That said, she TookALevelInBadass after the timeskip and even menages to defeat Arcane Olga by herself.

* EnlightenmentSuperPowers: According to Zhuzhen Alice has some form of ESP, but the reason it manifests as holy powers certainly comes from her devotion to Biblical study.
* EyeBeams: "Advent", one of the two attack spells she learns does this.

* LightEmUp: Alice uses light magic for healing, protection and the odd offensive attack.

* RescueIntroduction: Yuri rescues her from Roger Bacon in the beginning of Shadow Hearts.
* SquishyWitch: Is great with magic, but her HP, offense and SP values are rather slow.
* TakeMeInstead: [[spoiler:When the Four Masks come to claim Yuri's soul, Alice offers her own to them in order to spare him, essentially transferring Yuri's Curse to herself. She succumbs to the Curse during a train ride with Yuri, dying in his arms.]] In ''Covenant'', [[spoiler:the last remnants of her spiritual essence took up residence in Yuri's Graveyard, watching over him from afar. The Curse of the Holy Mistletoe is no match for her love for Yuri. It is implied that the TimeyWimeyBall at the end of ''Covenant'' makes it possible for Yuri to save her.]]

* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:The Abel to his half brother, Dehuai, Cain]]

* {{Foil}}: To Dehuai. They are both Taoist oracles with a connection to nature who trained together and under the same master, it’s just Zhuzhen maintained a reverence for nature rather than try to control it and uses his powers for good, where Dehuai frequently corrupts nature and uses his powers for evil.

Margarete, code name "Malkovich", is a female spy who is under orders to set a bomb at the train station in Fengtian. She also sets a small bomb outside as a distraction, claiming that it means there will be fewer casualties as everyone will come rushing out to see what the noise was, sparing them from the larger bomb that will go off a few minutes later. However her plan is compromised when Yuri and Alice inadvertently end up caught in the smaller explosion, and she drops out of hiding to check that they're unharmed. She then tries to make her escape via the sewer system, but finds herself overwhelmed by the monsters lurking down there.

* AdaptationalModesty: Historically Margarete “Mata-Hari” Zelle was usually publicly wearing a chorus-girl outfit, if that; In Shadow Hearts, she goes around in short-shorts, a corset and a BadAssLongCoat.

* {{Foil}}: To Kawashima. Both spies for major powers, both trying to recruit supernatural resources for their countries, both based on real people, [[spoiler: who get disavowed by their countries executed as spies. ]] Margarete just happens to be working the party from the status of “friend” where Kawashima is only pretending to be friends right up until she can get them shipped off to Japan. Ultimately both also have a change of heart for having known Yuri & co. Had Kawashima joined the party they would be near identical, role-wise.

* TheLancer: To Yuri. She takes charge following [[spoiler: Yuri's disappearance after his failed fusion with the Seraphic Radiance.]]

* SecretKeeper: In the [[spoiler:canonical]] bad ending, Margarete is [[spoiler:the only person Alice tells of her impending death.]] She doesn't tell anyone else.

* BerserkButton: Though cool-headed and mellow through-out the rest of the game, even in the face of potential death, the notion of someone stealing his family's blood rites and using them to harm/kill the very people of his land is enough to make Keith out for blood.

* {{Foil}}: To Kevin. Kevin is the modern owner of Bistritz whose using the Valentine blood rites; Keith is the antiquated lord of Bistritz and using the same blood rites but focused on protecting the people rather than sacrificing them.

* MiddleChildSyndrome: Completely reversed. Despite having a much stronger elder brother and magical adept younger sister - both are major bimbos so his parents proclaimed him the family heir. (both other siblings seem happy to have avoided the position).
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: The most normal of the Valentine family. Relatively speaking of course. The vampires themselves are rather different, he's not bothered by daylight, garlic, or crosses.
* RecurringCharacter: Appears in the three games.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Him and his entire family. He point blank states that even if he is now an antiquated lord, if he were actually callous enough to let the people of his lands be preyed upon (by his family’s stolen Blood Rites, no less) his predecessors would fly out of their graves and drag him to hell - at which point he grabs his rapier then heads down from The Blue Castle to save Bistritz.

* {{Foil}}: To Jack. Where Jack is a momma’s boy who never grew up and is hurting people to get his mother back, Halley is a momma’s boy who has had to grow up before his time and trying to help people so they don’t end up as helpless as he did when he lost his mother.

Albert Simon is a British warlock who once studied underneath the infamous alchemist Roger Bacon, and was considered his most talented pupil. Unfortunately Albert's strong beliefs that all people are born equal under the eyes of God, and should be treated as such, caused him to clash with the Vatican. He was imprisoned and tortured for several years, and on seeing how cruel and wicked the world was, decided that the only way to save it was to destroy it. For this he needs Alice Elliot; by using her power, he can summon the Seraphic Radiance to bring the world to an end.

* AdmiringTheAbomination: Learning that [[spoiler: God]] is an Eldritch Abomination doesn’t shake his faith for even a moment. But then again, humanity already screwed up his standards.

* AtLeastIAdmitIt: He has a genuinely noble end-goal but fully admits to Alice he believes he is going to Hell for things like murdering her father to achieve it.

* TheChessmaster: So he gets the god-like power of the three books and what is the first thing he does with them? Starts testing them out of course. He had been setting up test runs of the powers he planned to unleash ever since the events of ''Koudelka'' and he seems to have no end to back-up plans and decoy plays.

** In ''Covenant'' we meet his traitor pupil turned evil, which appears to have been the breaking-point of Albert's faith in basic humanity.

* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: He has no inherent desire to kill Yuri and his friends and even offers to let them sit back safely with him while he is remaking the world, as he considers them some of the good-parts not in need of correction. Alas Yuri feels that just wouldn't be any fun.
* EnlightenedAntagonist: One of only three people to read the Émigré Manuscript without getting distracted by all the ultra powerful spells and thus decipher the will of God. Considering what [[EldritchAbomination God is]]... a ''whole'' bunch of Albert's [[GoMadFromTheRevelation rationals start making sense']].

* EvilCounterpart: Has the same powers, mindset and training as [[spoiler:the real Roger Bacon.]]
* EvilFormerFriend: To both Roger and Jovis. Dislikes Roger for trying to defend The Church and moderate his progressive views, Jovis on the other-hand simply refused to help him so he seems less upset about that one.

* GentlemanWizard: Albert is a moderately wealthy (RagsToRiches), highly educated, polite warlock, who always dresses in a dark suit, white gloves and top-hat, while summoning the forces of darkness. He could only embody the trope more if he has a monocle and wand.

* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Like Roger. In Albert's case it seems to have come full circle into a TranquilFury.

* HeelFaceTurn: In Covenant, [[spoiler:he offers support for Yuri as a spirit.]]

* HiddenAgendaVillain: It turns out [[spoiler:his true enemy in the first game was Raspuntin and Sapientes Gladio all along, whose destruction went hand-in-hand with what he had planned for the world. We don't learn of this until the second game, though somewhat justified given Albert's HeelFaceTurn in-between.]]

* MaskOfSanity: At first glance he is a kindly upper-class gentlemen with a pleasant if vacant gaze. However once he starts slaughtering a train-full of people that warm pasted-on smile takes on a frightening new meaning, instead reavealing a merely controlled violent insanity. And those same mannerisms stick with him even as he is bringing about the Apocalypse. The mask slips off when he finally summons his "God", angrily ranting about finally having his revenge for his past mistreatment by society.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Whether he is telling a bereaved widower about a TomeOfEldritchLore, a mad Toaist with an axe to grind about a holy virgin who would just make the perfect sacrifice, or speaking with his ghost minion over tea, Albert is remarkably casual about some very demented things.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: His entire scheme is a TranquilFury version of this, wishing to wipe out humanity because all the evils and corruption of human society [[EvilStoleMyFaith destroyed his ideals for peace and equality and put him through humiliating suffering for years.]] He tells as much to Alice as a BluntYes when she asks about his motives.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Koudelka, Edward and Roger never seemed to find the Émigré Manuscript after Patrick's mad experiments and just assumed it went up in flames with the rest of his home... apparently someone should have checked...

* TheHeretic: He was branded a heretic by the Church for speaking up for civil-rights. After that, he figured he might as well become a true heretic and took up black magic.

* VillainousFriendship: Olga is ultimately a minion to him, but she is the only one he openly discusses plans with, which they apparently do over tea while waiting for the heroes to break in. This is a notable detail since he just manipulates everyone else without them even knowing it.
** Another case of this is also shown in the opening screenplay between Albert and a nameless Wind-Scythe. Apparently it wasn't just a mindless kill-beast; after Yuri crushes its skull in his hand, Albert disappointingly exclaims, "I was fond of him."

* WorthyOpponent: To Yuri, who even mocks [[spoiler:DiscOneFinalBoss Raspuntin in the second game]] for being that much weaker than Albert.

* DarkIsEvil: Like her master, her element is Dark and she is a evil witch.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: She hates the Inquisitors, oh not for the torture - she's fine with the torture, for using Christanity to justify it. The only reason she doesn't kill them is they are essential pawns.
* {{Foil}}: To Alice, she is the constant female companion of our BigBad, the two of which share and OddFriendship, but Olga is an unholy sadist where Alice is a spiritual nigh-pacifist.
* GigglingVillain: Lets out a hearty cackle whenever she attacks or teleport away.

* MirrorMonster: Takes the place of Alice's reflection then reverses it to look like Alice and make Alice look like her.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Not just a ghost but a ghost witch.

* PsychoSupporter: To her master. He is cordial and only as violent as he needs to be for any given situation and while Olga reins in her sadistic tendencies while her master is around, if left to her own devices she will go for abject cruelty.

* SubordinateExcuse: By all accounts the only reason Olga is working with our BigBad is she likes the way he works.

* UndyingLoyalty: Unlike [[spoiler: Albert]]'s other pawns Olga is following him entirely out of loyalty to him.
** Even throws her life away to give him time to get away.
* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Despite the initial beat down she should offer the player as Alice, she gets progressively easier in her following appearances. Her stats do raise, but only slightly.

* WakeUpCallBoss: Considering Alice is the WhiteMage, you may have assumed she would never need to kill anyone herself, and certainly never by herself... You would be VERY wrong about that and Olga arrives to deliver that message right before ''Shadow Hearts'' takes off the kid's gloves.

Dehuai is a mystic who once studied under Master Xifa, along with Zhuzhen, and while he was renowned for his skill, he always had a darker side to him. When his home country of China was in danger of being taken over by the Japanese, Dehuai attempted to summon a God using the Demon Gate’s Invocation, so that he could wipe out Japan. However using such power was risky; one wrong move could destroy the entire world. Dehuai also planned to rule over Asia once China had been purged from the Japanese, but was stopped by a Japanese soldier by the name of Ben Hyuga, Yuri's father.

* AbsoluteXenophobe: As far as Dehuai is concerned if you are not Chinese, you are the enemy.

* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:The Cain to Zuzhen's Abel]]
* DemonicPossession / TheBeastmaster: Sort of straddles the line since he not only controls animals but actually possesses them. Poor Master Xiofang...

* DiscOneFinalBoss: He may ultimately be played for a chump but the build up for him is palpable, if you missed the one or two foreshadowing signs for "Bacon" you could be forgiven for thinking Dehuai was the end.

* {{Foil}}:To Zhuzhen - both learned Taoist oracles attuned to the natural world and a sense of awe for their homeland, but Dehuai is using said patriotic awe as an excuse to hurt people and bend the natural world to his whims. They are also both siblings and trained under the same master - one just went evil where the other went good.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Dehuai left his master's tutelage and took up arms against the Japanese, as the Japanese Foreign Minister was a Fantastic Racist and filled with Patriotic Fervor. Sure enough Dehuai himself picked up the same traits, just focused on the Japanese.
* TheHeavy: Certainly not the biggest threat but he is the center of both Yuri and Zhuzhen's personal angst, regardless of how much they want to admit it.

* WithMyDyingBreathISummonYou: Subverted in an initially hilariously but ultimately terrifying manner. Even with all his life-force put into his ritual to summon the Seraphic Radiance, the miserable old bastard simply was out of his arcane weight class... [[SpannerInTheWorks But then Bacon teleports in over Dehuai's corpse and gives it one last push]].

Wugui is a servant who works for Dehuai, and also appears to help him with more political matters. He supported Dehuai's attempt to destroy Japan, and even attempted to kill Zhuzhen, who was adamantly opposed to such an idea. However Wugui was defeated by Ben Hyuga before he could. Several years later and he is still loyal to Dehuai, and runs a bar in Shanghai where his master can perform his experiments.

* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: Wugui ends up dying, but is bought back as a mindless puppet by Albert Simon.]]
* OneHitKill: His ''Game of Death'' spell can instantly kills the party.

* RecurringBoss: Wugui is fought four times during the game (the first time in a flashback, and the last, as an optional boss).
* ShoutOut: His SignatureMove, "Game of Death" is a reference to [[Film/GameOfDeath the film of the same name]].

* ArcVillain: Subverted. While she appears to be a independent villain, [[spoiler:it is revealed that she is a UnwittingPawn to Dehuai.]]

* DarkIsEvil: Li Li is a vengeful ghost and her element is Darkness. [[spoiler: However, it's is revealed later on that Li Li was forcibly summoned by Dehuai, and was under his control the entire time]].
* DyingAsYourself: Freed from [[spoiler: Dehuai's controll]], she thanks Yuri and his friends before passing on.

* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: Her boss form is a purple monster that use Darkness-based spells.

* TragicVillain: The circumstances behind her death is rather tragic, since she was driven to suicide over the humiliation of having her father's gruff voice due to a curse from the Blue Dragon God, and thus being unable to proclaim her love to one of the actors of a travelling theatre troupe who was visiting Dalian. She had even agonized over her choice of killing her father to regain her lost voice, with even her father consenting if it had meant that he could return her voice, but ultimately she could not do it. [[spoiler: Then her spirit was summoned by a warlock, and was forced against her will to torment the village of Dehuai as a vengeful spirit, and to capture Alice]].

* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence:[[spoiler:After his death, his soul bonded with Yuri's, placing him in a pleasant and idyllic Japanese forest inside Yuri's memories, where he calmly and happily spends the rest of existence.]]

* PoisonousFriend: To her master. He is cordial and only as violent as he needs to be for any given situation and while Olga reins in her sadistic tendencies while her master is around, if left to her own devices she will go for abject cruelty.
* PsychoSupporter: Olga loyally servers her master, but has no investment in his plans, she just A. admires him, and B. loves kill’n.

* TheGunslinger: Her WeaponOfChoice is a pistol.

* RoyalRapier: His WeaponOfChoice.

* WakeUpCallBoss: Considering Alice is the WhiteMage, you may have assumed she would never need to kill anyone herself, and certainly never by herself... You would be VERY wrong about that and Olga arrives to deliver that message right before ''Shadow Hearts'' [[DifficultySpike takes off the kid's gloves]].

* WalkingSpoiler: It is impossible to even reference his real name without giving away the first three-fourths of ''Shadow Hearts''.

* KnifeNut: His weapon of choice, although - appropriately enough given his experimentation - it looks more like a scalpel.

* KnifeNut: His weapon of choice.
* MadScientist: In essence.

* MommasBoy: Psychotically so. he suffer from OedipusComplex.

* SplitPersonality: His journals and the journals of one of the children in his orphanage are starkly contrasted. In front of the kids his inner child takes over and in the lab, his standard mad scientist personality runs the show. However both are raving psychopaths. He starts with a monolog of evil but his final words are that of a scared child apologizing to his mommy.

* NiceHat: In her cameo in ''Covenant'', she sports a dashing purple one.

* NiceHat: Wears a cap.

* BadassInANiceSuit: He fights wearing an elegant tuxedo and has a NiceHat.

* NiceHat: A topper.

* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedEvil: He was Roger’s prized student until the Vatican imprisoned him for pursuing civil-rights of the downtrodden.
