* KnightInSourArmor: Eiji Murasame, after twenty years on the frontlines against the Nephilim, is dedicated to protecting humanity but has little time form military protocol and bureaucracy, and shows compassion towards the people who scavenge the sites of Nephilim attacks for things to sell, saying everyone is just trying to survive as best as they can. He is considerate of Jamila's idealism, but he doesn't share it.
