8	GHQ was created by the UN to control Japan during and after Lost Christmas. Their headquarters, the 24th Ward, is based in a mega-structure, built on the reclaimed land off Tokyo Bay and can be seen as a symbol of Japan after the "Lost Christmas" event. Few dared to challenge GHQ, save for a group of terrorists who form the resistance group Funeral Parlor.

13	* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Towards the end of the series, when the UN discovers that [[spoiler:Keido covered up the truth about what happened years ago]], they can no longer trust GHQ and decide to [[spoiler:bombard Japan to stop the Apocalypse Virus from causing another catastrophe]].
14	* BadassArmy: The GHQ packs serious firepower in their armies.
15	* DayOfTheJackboot: After the "Lost Christmas" event in 2029, the UN organized GHQ to restore order in Japan at the cost of its freedom and independence.
16	* TheDreaded: The Anti-Bodies are widely feared by Japanese citizens, who dub them the "white clothes."
17	* ForTheEvulz: GHQ's pointless massacre in Episode 1 and 2, and an open-air execution or two later on. Both were counter-productive insofar as they did nothing to endear the organisation to the natives, but the first was particularly egregious given that they could've spent their time and effort actually searching for the Void Genome instead.
18	* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: All GHQ personnel are lousy shooters. ''Especially'' the [[ShortRangeLongRangeWeapon professional]] [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy soldiers]].
19	* LightIsNotGood: The Anti-Bodies tend to wear white clothes, especially Keido himself.
20	* MegaCorp: The GHQ is so powerful and influential that it provides water and food supplies to Japan.
21	* StandardSciFiArmy: Definitely expected from the GHQ. In addition to the standard foot soldier battalions, Endlaves provide ground support and the Anti-Bodies serve as one of its quarantine units.
22	* UnwittingPawn: The GHQ was nothing more than a tool for [[spoiler:Keido and Da'ath to play into their plans for releasing the Apocalypse Virus]].
23	* VillainWithGoodPublicity: The organization is seemingly popular within Japan, given that it was established by the UN to restore order there.
24	* WellIntentionedExtremist: While the [=GHQ=]'s methods may seem harsh, they point out that they were necessary to quell the chaos of the Apocalypse Virus, and that the people they target are those who refuse to be inoculated against it.
25	* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: Funeral Parlor views GHQ as an oppressive foreign regime that's [[JustThinkOfThePotential in place more to research the virus than they are to contain it]].

37	* BeardOfEvil: He has a small beard and is the ruler of Japan.
38	* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:He and Emily are shot down by Daryl in episode 10 as part of Keido's coup]].
39	* ParentalNeglect: His neglect of Daryl scarred him emotionally.
40	* PresidentEvil: Ever since being appointed by the UN to maintain order in Japan following the Virus outbreak, he and his forces have ruled the country with an iron fist while wantonly abusing their authority at the people's expense.
41	* GreaterScopeVillain: As GHQ's commander, he presides over all the military forces occupying Japan including the Anti-Bodies which are in direct conflict with the series' protagonists. Subverted midway in the series when [[spoiler:the series BigBad, Shuichiro Keido, overthrows him in a coup and seizes control over GHQ]].
42	* ItsAllAboutMe: Despite being entrusted with the Japanese people's welfare, he is content to let his forces regularly oppress them while focusing on advancing his political fortunes. Similarly, he regularly neglects his son in order to pursue an affair with his secretary.

56	* BackForTheDead: He returns for the finale of the series only to be [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide by using the Apocalypse Virus]].
57	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He spends decades looking for someone who can match his intellect.

58	* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: When Haruka has him at gun-point, rather than surrender and face trial, he injects himself with an extremely potent version of the Apocalypse Virus, to deny her the satisfaction of either arresting him or shooting him.
59	* BigBad: He's the one in command of the Anti-Bodies, the main threat to Funeral Parlor's efforts to liberate Japan, and the mastermind behind [[spoiler: Mana's resurrection with Yu's help]]. At least until [[spoiler:Gai is revived]].
60	* BigBadDuumvirate: He becomes one with [[spoiler:Gai after the latter is revived in episode 17]].

64	* TheChessmaster: He's the puppet-master behind every single scheme driving the plot: from organizing the Anti-Bodies and implementing policies for the purpose of eradicating the Apocalypse Virus to [[spoiler:staging a coup against GHQ's leadership and planning another catastrophe using the Apocalypse Virus]].
65	* DiabolicalMastermind: He orchestrated the [[spoiler:coup against GHQ's leadership as a means to exterminate humanity]].
66	* DrivenByEnvy: His jealousy of Kurosu Ouma is ultimately what results in him JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope.
67	* DrivenToSuicide: At the end of the series, [[spoiler:he injects himself with the Apocalypse Virus]].
68	%%* EmperorScientist
69	%%* EvilutionaryBiologist
70	* EvilCounterpart: To Kurosu Ohma.
71	* EvilGenius: His groundbreaking research on Genomic Resonance provided the theoretical foundation for Kurosu Ohma's Void Genome.

73	* EvilSoundsDeep: He has a very deep voice and is the BigBad.
74	* FauxAffablyEvil: He has a calm and polite demeanor towards his subordinates. [[spoiler:Too bad about the "exterminating humanity" thing]].
75	* GracefulLoser: By the end of the series, [[spoiler:he calmly accepts defeat as he commits suicide]].
76	* GreenEyedMonster: He became envious of Kurosu when the latter's successes surpassed Keido's own to the point that he [[spoiler:eventually killed Kurosu]].
77	* TheHeavy: His actions on behalf of GHQ for the alleged purpose of containing the Apocalypse Virus are the driving source of conflict throughout the series. In the story's second half, it turns out that he's secretly been aiding [[spoiler:Da'ath, the GreaterScopeVillain, in their conspiracy to find a suitable mate for Mana and cause another disaster with the virus]].
78	* HiddenAgendaVillain: We never learn of his true motives until the second half of the story.
79	* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: In a flashback, he admits that he considered other people "mere annoyances" due to their inability to keep up with him intellectually prior to meeting Kurosu Ouma.
80	* ItsAllAboutMe: Other people are just a means to an end for him.
81	* ItsPersonal: He has a bone to pick with [[spoiler:Kurosu]] after becoming envious of the latter's success.
82	* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: While initially beginning his career as an arrogant, amoral scientist who devoted all his time to his research, his envy for Kurosu's superior intelligence drives him to become an [[OmnicidalManiac omnicidal madman]] consumed by hatred.
83	* LaughingMad: In the Episode 20 flashback immediately before [[spoiler:murdering Kurosu in a jealous rage.]]

86	* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Before he went into politics.
87	* {{Narcissist}}: Even prior to JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, he's shown in flashbacks to have been an [[{{Pride}} arrogant]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe self-absorbed]] researcher who viewed [[SurroundedByIdiots everyone around him as annoying inferiors]] standing in the way of his [[GlorySeeker path to greatness]]. When he finally encounters a threat to his massive ego in the form of Kurusu Ohma, he [[TheUnfettered exhibits no qualms experimenting on vast numbers of orphans just to ensure that his research surpasses that of his rival]]. Eventually, his realization that Kurosu's brilliance exceeds his own drives him to dedicating his entire existence to destroying Kurosu's legacy [[spoiler: [[EvilIsPetty even if it means bringing about the world's destruction.]]]]
88	* OmnicidalManiac: He seeks to cause Earth's destruction [[spoiler:not only as part of Da'ath's EvilPlan, but also to destroy Kurosu's influence]].
89	* PerpetualFrowner: Aside from the occasional PsychoticSmirk, he hardly ever displays any signs of mirth.
90	* PetTheDog: During his flashback in Episode 20, he admits there was a time when he genuinely valued Kurosu Ohma's friendship while working together as colleagues.

92	* {{Pride}}: He's an exceedingly arrogant scientist.

94	* TheStarscream: Despite providing his services to GHQ for the alleged purpose of eradicating the Apocalypse Virus, he secretly plans to use the organization's resources to unleash the Virus upon the world. Additionally, [[spoiler:after revealing that he is secretly working with Da'ath, Keido confesses that he only intended to help GHQ cause the outbreak in order to completely destroy Kurosu's legacy.]]
95	* StartOfDarkness: Upon learning that [[spoiler: Kurosu's children will become the progenitors of mankind following the Fourth Apocalypse]], Keido's respect for Kurosu [[spoiler:degenerates into an envy-fuelled obsession to provide Da'ath with an "Adam" of his own regardless of the cost.]]
96	* TheStoic: He has a very professional demeanor and most events don't impact him that much.
97	* TyrantTakesTheHelm: He [[spoiler:seizes power from the Japanese government following its collapse]].
98	%%* VillainInAWhiteSuit: He wears a white lab coat, which is a requirement as a member of the Anti-Bodies division.
99	* WouldHurtAChild: Is more than willing to start, fund, and run an experimental facility where countless young boys are tortured and even killed in horrific experiments [[spoiler: involving the Apocalypse Virus, especially ''Gai'' of all people.]]

111
112	A GHQ anti-drug officer with an impressive arrest record, brought in to take on the Funeral Parlor. Member of the elite 'Anti Bodies'.
113	----
114	* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: He led the assault on Funeral Parlor's headquarters.
115	* BadBoss: In the fourth episode, he stops a GHQ soldier from shooting Shu and Inori ([[InLoveWithYourCarnage because he wanted to watch Shu extracting Inori's void]]), then nonchalantly shoots him in the head.
116	* BunnyEarsLawyer: Though he's fairly good at keeping his various quirks away from his superiors' notice.
117	* CastingGag: Doesn't he remind you of a [[Manga/{{Naruto}} certain white haired medic]] with a hidden agenda?
118	* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Shu kills Segai just as the latter is about to use a semi-truck to run Ayase over]].
119	* TheChessmaster: He's the one behind every schemes for Keido, including the plans to hunt down Funeral Parlor.
120	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: It would be easier to compile a list of people he ''hasn't'' betrayed at some point. Luckily for him, most of them either haven't noticed yet or are too dead to care.
121	* CombatPragmatist: More than happy to bring a gun to a fistfight, as [[spoiler:Eagleman]] finds out.
122	* DeathByIrony: He is killed by Shu using Yahiro's Void. Yahiro had a younger brother who was infected, which they both once escaped from GHQ back in Episode 9, only that Jun is killed at the end of that episode with the events manipulated by Segai himself. Shu finally avenges Jun's death as part of his atonement.
123	* DissonantSerenity: Often PlayedForLaughs. Segai is a ''very'' laid-back guy, even catching the odd nap during combat operations.
124	* DoomedByCanon: In ''Lost Christmas'', Makoto can't be killed in any of Scrooge's battles, since he dies in the series proper.
125	* ElectronicEyes: His left eye is artificial.
126	* EvilGenius: Segai is TheChessmaster and using several other plans against Funeral Parlor.
127	%%* EvilIsHammy
128	* EyeScream: He loses his eye after being struck by a random shard during the Scrooge vs Present fight.
129	* FauxAffablyEvil: An expert at unnerving and intimidating prisoners with seemingly friendly, innocuous comments. Among other things, he somehow manages to make ''asking for help with his crossword'' sinister.
130	* ForegoneConclusion: In ''Lost Christmas'', Makoto losing his eye was a given.
131	* GoodScarsEvilScars: A prominent one under his left eye, which is probably a trace of the way he lost his eyeball.
132	* HiddenAgendaVillain: Even after the faction he's supposed to be working for plays its hand. [[spoiler:His motives turn out to be very simple in the end--he's just [[InLoveWithYourCarnage fascinated by Void Genomes, Shu's in particular]].]]
133	** That's what he says in his latest appearance anyway. However, it's difficult to trust the statements of a person whose last name literally means "Lies".
134	* InLoveWithYourCarnage: While Shu extracting Voids doesn't necessarily count as carnage, Segai's reaction to his displays of power certainly falls under this trope.
135	-->'''Segai:''' Beautiful!
136	* InSeriesNickname: "Scarface," courtesy of [[TheNicknamer Eagleman]].
137	* InsultBackfire: In Episode 14.
138	-->'''Rowan:''' You're a perverse man, Sir.
139	-->'''Segai:''' Please, don't compliment me too much.
140	* LoveAtFirstSight: The first time he sees Shu use his Void Genome.
141	* LoveMakesYouCrazy: [[spoiler:One of his primary goals is to see Shu's Genome in action as much as possible. His organisation's objectives and his own personal safety are very much secondary.]]
142	* ManipulativeBastard: It comes with the job.
143	* ObviouslyEvil: Seriously, ''look'' at him.
144	* PastimesProvePersonality: Subverted. You wouldn't believe a man like him who enjoys crossword puzzles and plays on his cellphone can be so sinister.
145	* PragmaticVillainy: Understands the importance of treating potential informants nicely.
146	* RedOniBlueOni: With his superior, Eagleman, and his subordinate, Daryl. In both cases, he's the blue.
147	* RedRightHand: His artificial eye and the associated scar.
148	* ShameIfSomethingHappened: He almost ''never'' makes an overt threat. He'll just mention things like how unpleasant prison food is, or how someone should really talk to that poor IdolSinger about those nasty terrorists who are hoodwinking her, and maybe ask for her help in stopping them. The message, of course, is entirely obvious.
149	%%* SmartPeoplePlayChess
150	* TheSociopath: A unique [[BunnyEarsLawyer high-functioning example]]. While initially introduced as an AmbiguouslyEvil GHQ officer, it increasingly becomes clear that he is a ''highly'' [[{{Sadist}} sadistic]] PsychoForHire who commits [[ForTheEvulz countless atrocities merely for his own amusement]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe harbors no loyalties or emotional attachments to anyone but himself]] (See ChronicBackstabbingDisorder and WildCard).

196	%%* AxCrazy
197	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: His attachment to Tsugumi comes from how she (in her own way) treated him with kindness and gave him a candied apple as an award for (reluctantly) helping her. Judging from his background, she might be the first person to treat him sincerely kindly in his life.
198	* BeehiveBarrier: His Void.
199	%%* BloodKnight
200	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:In Episode 22.]]
201	* CharacterDevelopment: First depicted as an unstable, AxeCrazy MilitaryBrat that could ''very'' easily go on a murderous rampage. Later on he shows a degree of honor and determination. [[spoiler:By Episode 22, however, he has been rendered even more mentally unstable and wants to return to his old ways, convincing himself that killing [[MoralityChain Tsugumi]] and Funeral Parlor is the only way to revert to "Daryl the Butcher". After that, his development status is unknown, although he seems to have snapped from the frenzy.]]
202	* ClarkKenting: More justifiable than most. As an Endlave pilot (even if an unusually notorious one), not many people would know his face anyway. As an additional element, he also wears glasses as part of his costume.
203	* CombatAestheticist: Considers killing from a distance to be "unartistic," which is why he likes to be close to the frontlines even when he's remote-controlling his Endlave.
204	* DaddyIssues: It's hard not to feel a little bad for the guy after seeing his father's attitude towards him, and watching him struggle through enduring his neglect.
205	* DeadpanSnarker: His main passtime when he's not piloting.
206	* DeclarationOfProtection: In Episode 18, [[spoiler:he decides to protect Tsugumi and attacks the other Ghost Units because one of them threatens Tsugumi and provides a diversion long enough for Funeral Parlor to escape.]]
207	* DeflectorShields: His Void.
208	* EvenEvilHasStandards:
209	** [[spoiler:Doesn't like Keido's "purify those outside the red line" policy.]] Though, it should be noted that this is for artistic, not ethical, reasons. [[CombatAestheticist It's just way too mechanical for his tastes]].
210	** He refuses to protect [[spoiler:a revived Gai Tsutsugami]], though this is mainly due to [[spoiler:still feeling that Gai is the enemy, Tsugumi getting threatened indirectly because of Gai, and him blaming Gai for having to kill his father.]]
211	* {{Expy}}:
212	** A reckless blond-haired pilot who gets frustrated with the protagonists, so much that [[spoiler: he joins them in the end]]? Sounds like he needs some [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Power.]]
213	** He could pass by an evil [[Anime/CodeGeass Gino Weinberg]], given their similar hair, high families and AcePilot skill.
214	* HairTriggerTemper: In his first few appearances, he has a very violent temper. Since coming under Segai's command, he appears to have been put on a tighter leash, resulting in less of his trademark psychotic outbursts and more [[DeadpanSnarker snarking]] from the sidelines.
215	* HatesBeingTouched: He mentions a fear of infection at one point, but since he's just as leery about physical contact with clearly uninfected people, it seems to be an excuse for true fear of human contact.
216	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: [[spoiler:As of Episode 21 and Episode 22.]]
217	* InSeriesNickname: "Daryl the Butcher"
218	* InsultOfEndearment: He calls Tsugumi [[BrattyHalfPint "runt"]]. [[spoiler:When Daryl, piloting his Endlave, calls her this nickname as he defends Funeral Parlor and her from the Ghost Units, [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay it tips her off on who he is]].]]
219	%%* {{Jerkass}}
220	* KickTheDog: Is a constant offender of this, from beating (and [[ShootTheDog killing]]) a civilian woman for touching him in Episode 2 to [[spoiler:attempting to kill Tsugumi and Funeral Parlor]] in Episode 22.
221	* KickTheMoralityPet: In Episode 22, [[spoiler:a maddened Daryl tries to kill Tsugumi to change back to his old self.]]
222	* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: His father says he isn't sure Daryl is his son because his mother was "a no-good woman".
223	* MilitaryBrat: His father is the Commander-in-Chief of the GHQ. However, it's hinted at in Episode 8 that he might not even be his father's child at all. At least, this is what his father thinks.
224	* MrFanservice: His outfit when piloting his endlave displays his toned and athletic physique. Most notably,when asked in episode 21 why he is continuing to fight by Rowen, the animators prominently highlight the fact that he's a chiseled, handsome young man.
225	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:He has a small moment in Episode 22 when Rowan rescuing him leads to the former's death. It serves to snap him out of his madness.]]
226	* TheNicknamer: He calls Shu a "faceless bastard" because he can't see the later's face on his Endlave monitor until Episode 11. He later calls Tsugumi a [[BrattyHalfPint "runt,"]] which seems to be doubling as an AffectionateNickname.
227	* OddNameOut: His is the only Void to have a name, which is probably a codename given to it by Gai.
228	* PetTheDog: His ShipTease with Tsugumi causes him to not attack Funeral Parlor in Episode 14, feel concerned for her well-being in Episode 15, [[spoiler:and outright defend her and betray the Ghost Units in Episode 18.]]
229	* PsychopathicManchild: At the beginning of the series at least. While he's calmed down a bit since then, he still shows traces of his trademark bloodlust as evidenced in Episode 22 [[spoiler:when he attempts to destroy Funeral Parlor.]]
230	* RedemptionFailure: [[spoiler:His HeelFaceTurn in protecting Tsugumi and allowing Funeral Parlor to escape the Ghost Units in Episode 18 results in his imprisonment and having his Void taken, replaced with an experimental device to serve as a replacement. Due to these events, he loses his head and becomes convinced that it is Tsugumi's fault that he isn't his "Daryl the Butcher" self anymore, and decides that getting rid of her would change him back to the way he was. At the end, he seems to have regained his conscience, specially after seeing Rowan die to save him.]]
231	* SelfMadeOrphan: In Episode 11, [[spoiler:he kills his father]]. [[AbusiveParents Justified in a good measure]].
232	* ShipTease: With Tsugumi. [[spoiler:[[NoRomanticResolution We have no idea what came of it]], as he doesn't appear in the epilogue.]]
233	%%* SlasherSmile
234	* TerrifiedOfGerms: May just be an excuse for an underlying discomfort to be with people. See the HatesBeingTouched entry above.
235	* {{Tsundere}}: Type A. He shows shades of this towards [[BrattyHalfPint Tsugumi]].
236	* UptightLovesWild: His personality and Tsugumi's could not be more different.
237	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He does not appear in the epilogue, nor is mentioned. [[spoiler:It is even ambiguous on whether he survives or not to the crumbling of the GHQ building, although he presumably does thanks to Rowan's sacrifice.]]
238	* TheWorfEffect: He is one-shotted every single time he faces Shu.

245	An American colonel working for the GHQ.
246	----
247	* AffablyEvil: Unlike Segai and Daryl, he's a very nice guy and treats his subordinates like a football coach and genuinely believes that the GHQ are helping Japan.
248	%%* BoisterousBruiser
249	* CatchPhrase: "Guts!"
250	* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:After Dan rescues Haruka during Keido's coup, he gets crystallized and is shot down by Segai]].
251	* {{Eagleland}}er: Type 2. Seemingly naive and a bit racist, he employs a ridiculous (if only unsuccessful due to Arisa's Void) strategy to obliterate a private yacht to kill the handful of Funeral Parlor members and allies that are on the ship, hundreds of innocents (and a few GHQ members, at that) be damned. [[spoiler: He embraces a bit of the more positive side of this trope in his HeroicSacrifice, when he attacks Segai for pointing a gun at an innocent woman]].
252	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:After rescuing Haruka from Segai, Segai kills him.]]
253	%%* LargeHam
254	* LaughablyEvil: Probably the least serious character, and ''certainly'' the least serious villain, in the entire series.
255	%%* MacrossMissileMassacre
256	%%* MoreDakka
257	* TheNicknamer: In fact, it's something of a surprise whenever he remembers a subordinate's real name.

281	* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:Following the wishes of Shu's father leads her to create the Ghost Units that oppose Shu. She also reveals later that most of her actions during the lockdown were a BatmanGambit to rid Shu of his Void Genome and hopefully save his life.]]
282	* MsFanservice: She walks around the house in her underwear, much to Shu's exasperation. She still does so when he has Inori over.

More than anyone else, she's utterly furious at Keido after finding out just how petty and self-centered his motivations truly are.
