That doesn't make him Chaotic Neutral per se. True Neutral characters can also be destructive saviours, but for different reasons.

* Main/CharacterAlignment: NeutralEvil --> ChaoticNeutral: Formerly an incredibly deadly assassin, Spike soon did something of a HeelFaceTurn once he fell for Julia. The Chaotic part comes from his unpredictable tendencies and the massive amount of property damage he tends to cause when chasing bounty heads.

Exactly what a data dog is never gets explained, but Ein certainly has vastly greater than normal intelligence for a dog. (It's strongly hinted that Ein has a full understanding of the languages and world around him, and may in fact be the smartest member of the crew). Ein gradually becomes closest to and friendliest with Ed, with the two sharing a number of adventures, (especially in the Main/MushroomSamba episode) before leaving together.

!!Electra Ovilo
->Voiced by: JenniferHale (EN)
A corporate girl who has some unknown past connections with Vincent. [[spoiler:They were lovers, and she is the only one who carries the cure to the nanomachines he wishes to unleash upon Mars.
