[[folder:MainCharacters]]
Love… love is such a powerful, complicated, unpredictable thing. It can transcend time and space, tear down walls of differences, and be found in the place you least expect to find it.

A long, long time ago, a young woman fell in love with one of the enemies she had long fought to destroy – a beautiful demon that was treated by his own kin as but a slave and sinner. In spite of their differences, he chose to stay by her side and joined her in the war that already had lasted for hundreds and hundreds of years.

And then… something happened. What exactly, is not known. The story goes on, but parts are missing, the pages are empty. Now, many years later, it seems like the time has come where not only the blanks will be filled, but the story itself will finally come to a conclusion…

!!Yuki Sakurai/Giou
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Uraboku_01-1088_5352.jpg
!!!!!!Voiced by: SoichiroHoshi

Our protagonist. Selfless, polite, kind and good with children, Yuki is loved by everyone at the Asahi Orphanage where he grew up. Yet he can’t seem to escape the feelings of loneliness and being unwanted since his parents abandoned him. Because of this, he has a very low sense of self-esteem that holds him back in life. He’s easily swayed by other people’s emotions, but his heart of gold and genuine desire to help others also makes him more understanding towards people who others turn away from. When the situation calls for it, he can actually be very heroic – and this is when the people around him recognize him as the charismatic leader they loved so deeply in their past lives.

Yuki is the bearer of "Light of God", a divine power that first and foremost gives him access to people’s emotions and memories if he touches them when they are in emotional pain. At younger age, he thought of himself as weird for having this power, but soon comes to terms with it as the story progresses. He also discovers another aspect of the "Light of God" – the power to heal wounds and soothe people’s hearts with his warm, loving light.

Unlike the Zweilt Guardians, he has no recollection of his past lives, and yet he can’t help but feel oddly nostalgic around Luka…

----
* ApologisesALot
* BadassAdorable: You wouldn’t know it by looking at him, but he’s actually extremely skilled in martial arts.
* [[spoiler:BarrierWarrior]]
* {{Bishonen}}
* CombatMedic: Gifted with the "Light of God", Yuki is a powerful healer central to the Giou Clan's battle against the Duras.
* DistressedDamsel: Despite currently being male, Yuki often qualifies. Most of the time, the other characters are protecting or saving him.
* DoorstopBaby: How he ended up at the [[OrphanageOfLove Asahi Orphanage]].
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Make sense since he used to be a female in all of his previous incarnations.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Including the main villian.
* GenderFlip: Used to be female in all his previous incarnations, but was born as a male in this life.
* FriendToAllChildren
* HeartwarmingOrphan: And HOW!
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Even though Yuki can read people's minds by touching them to find out what's bothering them, heal people’s injuries by taking on their pain, and wants to help people, he tends to put himself down. "I was abandoned when I was born and hated for my strange powers. Hurting others...I'm completely unwanted, without a place anywhere! Why was I even born? Why?” Not to mention, "I always have to be saved by Luka. I'm powerless to do anything!"
* IncorruptiblePurePureness
* TheMessiah: Loves everyone and is loved by everyone.
* RedHeadedHero: At least in the anime. In coloured manga artworks, he seems to be more of a dark blond/light brunet.
* StepfordSmiler: Yuki clearly has some issues of self-worth stemming from being abandoned by his parents when he was very young. However, if someone should ask him if he's okay, he usually gives them a cheerful smile and tells them that nothing’s wrong. He does tend to get depressed if he's by himself, though.
* WideEyedIdealist: [[spoiler: Reconstructed. While facing that his pure idealistic values might not hold up to reality, he still manages to hold onto his [[TheMessiah morals and kindness.]] ]]

!!Luka Crosszeria (“Zess”)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Uraboku_02-288_3361.png
!!!!!!Voiced by: TakahiroSakurai

Known for his unrivaled power and beauty that made even the Demon Lord himself adore him, Luka is the Duras (specifically, an Opast) that fell in love with the previous incarnation of Yuki and swore eternal dedication to her. While he is completely loyal to Yuki in this life as well, he won’t tell him the nature of their relationship in the past. Usually indifferent, reserved and not the most fun person to have around, Yuki is able to open up his heart, little by little, and nowadays, seeing Luka with a smile on his face is not as unthinkable as it was before.

As an ally to the Giou clan he is something of trump card to them, as his knowledge of his own kind is information worth its own weight in gold. Not to mention his unbelievable power level that kills lesser demons simply by ''existing side by side with him'', and throws high-level Opast off their feet. Once thing is for sure: The Giou Clan would be ''a lot'' weaker without Luka on their side.
----
* TheAce: Apparently, inbreeding [[spoiler:and mixing your blood with the Demon Lord’s]] makes you stronger. And sexier.
* TheAtoner
* {{Badass}}
** BadassLongcoat: Whenever he's wearing a [[CaptainObvious longcoat.]]
* {{Bishonen}}: Deserves a special mention, as his beauty is commented on several times.
* BigDamnHeroes: Luka LOVES this trope.
* Catchphrase: (To [[UndyingLoyalty Yuki]]) "I will not betray you."
* ColorCodedWizardry: His spells tend to be purple.
* BlackSwordsAreBetter: Adds to his badassness.
* TheComicallySerious
* CoolSword
* DarkIsNotEvil
* FetishFuelStationAttendant / MrFanservice: We’d be here all day if we tried to cover all flavors of FetishFuel that can be applied to him.
* HellishPupils
* IdiotHair: Not all that obvious, but it IS there.
* IfItsYouItsOkay: Possibly towards Yuki…
** SingleTargetSexuality: … Unless it’s this...
** BiTheWay: … Or maybe this.
* IWillDefinitelyProtectYou: To Yuki.
* {{Kuudere}}: Normally, he is very aloof, cold and prefers to keep himself distanced from others… but when it comes to Yuki? You couldn’t ask for someone more ''oh so passionately dere''.
* MarkOfShame: Like all members of the Crosszeria clan, he’s been branded with the “Brand Zess”, forever marking him as a traitor. ''Un''like other Brand Zess’, however, his mark is bright red in colour and specifically called “The Bloody Cross”, which means [[spoiler:his blood has been mingled with the Demon Lord’s, thus making him his property]].
* PerpetualFrowner: He doesn’t exactly wear a friendly expression on his face.
* RavenHairIvorySkin
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He breathes this trope.
* TheStoic
* UndyingLoyalty: To Yuki.

[[folder:Zweilt Guardians]]
Reincarnated over and over thanks to powerful magic, the Zweilt Guardians are the members of the Giou Clan whose sole purpose in life is to protect their beloved "Light of God" and slay all the Duras that cross their way. These young warriors are born with supernatural powers and can, by the power of their Zweilt rings, [[SummonToHand materialize their respective weapons just by thinking]].

Generally speaking, the Zweilt Guardians work in pairs because (aside from making them more effective by numbers in combat) the bond between the Guardians strengthens their minds to the point where they can fight as one being. Most Zweilt Guardians have been paired consistently through their many lifetimes and know each other by heart.

For a Zweilt Guardian, the strongest love of all is the love they share with their fellow Zweilt partner.

!!Touko Murasame
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Uraboku_07-034_2560.png
!!!!!!Voiced by: MarinaInoue

One of the first Zweilts to appear, Touko is a cheerful girl who is always there to make you smile again when you feel down, whether it is by kind words or a loving hug. But she’s more than just a cheerleader – she is tough and snarky when she needs to be, always quick to react when exposed to injustice and can be more than a handful when she’s really angry. Touko is easily likeable, to the point of her being ''the'' Zweilt that is closest to Luka.

Specializing in offense, Touko is the bearer of the "Ears of God". However, her gift is not as powerful as Tsukumo’s (who has the same power), so she only shares some of his abilities, such as telepathy and unusually good hearing. When battling the Duras, she wields a large sword called "Eon" (Eternity).

Her Zweilt partner is her younger brother, Tsukumo.
----
* ActionGirl
* {{BFS}}: Eon is huge.
* BrotherSisterTeam: With Tsukumo, of course.
* FieryRedhead
* GenkiGirl: With some shades of CoolBigSis
* GirlishPigtails: Sometimes (like in the picture provided).
* RapunzelHair: Her hair reaches her waist or lower depending on the picture.
* RedOni: To Tsukumo's BlueOni.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type B. She is usually a nice and peppy girl, but she is NOT on good terms with Hotsuma.
* YokoOhNo: Her closeness with her brother causes his fangirls to become very jealous and suspicious of her.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Is fond of these outfits even when she’s not in her school uniform.

!!Tsukumo Murasame
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Uraboku_07-045_3861.png
!!!!!!Voiced by: JunFukuyama

Another Zweilt that appears early on, Tsukumo is calm and relaxed without being lazy or indifferent. He is also sweet and friendly without being officious or a doormat. He is a very generous soul and doesn’t hesitate to share loads and loads of whatever snack/candy he’s always seen munching on. While generally disliking conflicts, he’s not above some mild teasing and snarky comments in order to amuse himself. He might not be as openly expressive as his sister, but he cares deeply for his friends and is ''not'' unaffected when something bad happens to them. One should keep it as a general rule that basically, if Tsukumo’s upset, then shit has ''really'' hit the fan.

Specializing in defense, Tsukumo is the bearer of the "Ears of God", which, among other things, allows him to sense people, hear their hearts and thoughts, speak to them through telepathy, and communicate with animals (most notably birds). He wields a gun called "Knell" (Funeral Bell), which he can use to drive Duras out of human bodies they have taken possession of, but he cannot actually kill them with this weapon.

His Zweilt partner is his older sister, Touko.
----
* {{Bishonen}}
* BlueOni: To his sister's RedOni.
* BrotherSisterTeam: With Touko, of course.
* CoolGun: "Knell."
* DeadpanSnarker
* [[spoiler:DisneyDeath: Almost got killed by Reiga at one point, but luckily, Yuki managed to heal him.]]
* [[EmotionlessGirl Emotionless Boy]]: Tsukumo isn't really energetic.
* TheEmpath
* InstantFanClub: Very good-looking, friendly and an excellent tennis player… it would be stranger if he ''didn’t'' have one of these.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Shown talking to sparrows.
* SweetTooth: He is always seen snacking on something.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy

!!Hotsuma Renjou
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Uraboku_06-109_2197.png
!!!!!!Voiced by: DaisukeOno

Short-tempered and impulsive, Hotsuma doesn’t give off the friendliest of impressions – at first sight, he appears to be just an arrogant, angry thug. However, despite his rough exterior and foul mouth, he is actually very passionate, sincere and will go to any lengths to help those who are dear to him. The truth is, he’s quite a “people person” – he just doesn’t realize it himself. This isn’t made easier by the fact that he tends to clash with other people that have a lot of character such as Touko and Kuroto. One thing is for sure though; once you have Hotsuma on your side, you can count on him to be there for you when there’s trouble ahead.

Specializing in offence, Hotsuma is the bearer of the "Voice of God", a power which usually manifests in fire that is activated by his voice. Since this is a very fickle power, he has shakey control of it and sometimes fears others will get hurt because of it. He wields a blade called "Master Stroke" (Divine Skill), which also holds fire powers.

His Zweilt partner is his childhood friend, Shuusei.
----
* {{Bishonen}}
* FaceOfAThug
* FlamingSword: ''Master Stroke''. Its blade is even shaped to resemble a flame.
* HotBlooded: Appropriately.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is either this or has a JerkassFacade that [[BecomingTheMask became a part of himself]].
* [[spoiler:InterruptedSuicide: Tried to off himself by turning the "Voice of God" on himself, but thankfully, Shuusei was there to stop him.]]
** [[spoiler:[[ItsAllMyFault It's All My Fault]]: Ever since that incident, Hotsuma blames himself for causing Shuusei's burn scars.]]
* MeaningfulName: Most likely ''not'' intentional, but still… [[PlayingWithFire HOT]][[BilingualBonus suma]]. [[IncrediblyLamePun Get it?]]
* [[spoiler:ParentalIssues: Sadly, he has them.]]
** [[spoiler:[[DotingParent Doting Parents]]: Cruelly averted. When Hotsuma’s parents learned of his powers, they started to fear him and became overly sweet and kind to him just to make sure they wouldn’t anger him and thus get killed by accident. Of course, they were glad to get rid of him when he was finally taken in by the Giou clan. However…]]
** [[spoiler:FinancialAbuse: As the parents of a Zweilt Guardian receive money from the Giou Clan in order to properly raise their child, Hotsuma’s parents only see him as a cash cow and pop up every now and then when in need of money.]]
* PlayingWithFire: If you asked Hotsuma which is the best way to kill a Duras, his answer would be “KillItWithFire!”.
* RedOni: To [[BlueOni Shusei.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A. Rough and foul-mouthed to just about everyone… [[HoYay except Shuusei]].
* WordsCanBreakMyBones: [[spoiler:Or bring a friend back to life.]]

!!Shuusei Usui
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Uraboku_06-348_3164.png
!!!!!!Voiced by: MamoruMiyano

Thinking before acting, Shuusei is quiet and sensitive, and his excellent grades make him a model student at school. But behind his proper demeanour, those small teasing comments and weak smiles, he hides severe self-esteem issues that cause him to pass many days barely eating or sleeping at all. While he is more delicate than most, this also makes him unexpectedly stubborn and courageous. With his high intelligence and tendency to think before he acts, he is a resourceful ally whose determination is surpassed by few.

Specializing in defense, Shuusei is the bearer of the "Eyes of God". This power gives him a sixth sense that allows him to sense enemies, shoot energy balls at them, support his fellow guardians and put up magical barriers. He wields two short swords called "Kurai Kurou" (Crime and Punishment).

His Zweilt partner is his childhood friend, Hotsuma.
----
* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead: Thanks to Hotsuma using his "Voice of God", his command “LIVE!” woke Shuusei up from the Eternal Sleep that Ashley put him in.]]
* BarrierWarrior
* {{Bishonen}}: Gets called one in-story several times.
* BlueOni: To his partner, [[RedOni Hotsuma.]]
* [[spoiler:CoveredWithScars: A good part of his upper body is covered with nasty burn marks he got when he interrupted Hotsuma’s suicide.]]
* CrystalBall: Can summon one which he uses to detect criminals as he assists the police. Also counts as FunctionalMagic.
* DualWielding: "Kurai Kurou."
* EmptyShell: Subverted – he only ''thinks'' of himself as this, to the point of wondering is something went wrong with him during this war, as if he lost the ability to have any kind of emotion, ambition or motivation towards anyone or anything… [[HoYay except Hotsuma]].
* EnergyBall
* ForgetsToEat: Or so he claims.
* MagicKnight: While he does specialize in support and defense, he can be a very skilled and dangerous sword fighter in close combat if the situation calls for it.
* [[spoiler:ParentalAbandonment / ParentalNeglect: His parents pretty much lost interest in him, presumably because they were weirded out by his powers, and his mother even called him an “it”.]]
* StepfordSmiler

!!Senshirou Furuouri
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Uraboku_15-117_8609.png
!!!!!!Voiced by: SatoshiHino

Klutzy but lovable by nature, Senshirou is the kind of nice guy you’d expect to see living next door. Humble and docile as he is, he’s surprisingly strong both physically and spiritually – life-saving personality traits if one is going to hunt Duras.

Because of things that happened in the past, Senshirou only just recently became a Zweilt. This is not an easy task, as a new Zweilt only comes by every few hundreds of years or so, and is then put to several kinds of harsh tests before it is decided if the person has what it takes. However, the hard-working Senshirou endured his training for many years and is now ready to stand eye to eye with the demons he is expected to kill. To do this, he uses a large calligraphy brush to draw spells in the air and also wields a gigantic scythe appropriately named "Death Scythe".

His Zweilt partner is Kuroto.
----
* {{Adorkable}}
* ArrangedMarriage: With Tsubaki, but she breaks it off when he becomes Kuroto’s Zweilt partner. She even comments on how she always knew it would end this way, [[HoYay considering how Senshirou and Kuroto act when they are together]].
* {{Bishonen}}
* [[CuteClumsyGirl Cute Clumsy Guy]]: Especially when he meets Yuki for the first time.
* {{Megane}}
* NiceGuy
* SinisterScythe: "Death Scythe."
* VitriolicBestBuds: A mild case of Type 1 with Kuroto.
* WordsCanBreakMyBones: As long as they are spelled out by a magic brush.
* [[spoiler:[[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Grandfather]]: To Cadenza.]]

!!Kuroto Hourai
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Uraboku_23-038_4726.png
!!!!!!Voiced by: HiroshiKamiya

Kuroto is serious and quiet, but not above letting go of things he love in order to achieve a greater goal – which is why he had to give up his life-long passion for shogi. He hates being complimented, and it is the easiest way to embarrass him and make him loose his indifferent posture. He considers himself a loner, but Senshirou seems to be melting his heart slowly but steadily...

When in battle, Kuroto wields a black katana named "Izanagi" (Hell).

His [[spoiler:second]] Zweilt partner is Senshirou.
----
* {{Bishonen}}: Extra points for being outright stated as such.
--->'''Yuki''' (upon their first meeting): You're totally pretty in real life too!
** DudeLooksLikeALady: Was actually mistaken for Senshirou’s girlfriend in the manga!
* [[BlackSwordsAreBetter Black]] KatanasAreJustBetter: "Izanagi."
* NotSoStoic: For someone so serious, he is easily flustered.
* PeekABangs: Though not always (as seen in the image provided)
* SweetTooth: And Senshirou [[HoYay loves him]] for it.
* TeenGenius: Despite his young age, he is ranked the 6th best Shogi player in Japan.
* {{Tsundere}}: (Type A) with mixed traits of {{Kuudere}} towards Senshirou.
* VitriolicBestBuds: A mild case of Type 1 with Senshirou.
* [[spoiler:[[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Surrogate Grandfather AND My Original Zweilt Partner]]: CADENZAAAAAAAA]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Giou Clan]]
A clan "touched by God" which manifests in the possession of special abilities that can be used to fight the Duras that threaten the balance of the human world (see the Zweilt Guaridans). Many of its members are involved in the political and financial world, which gives them the opportunity to get the resources they need, and also have “certain organizations” clean up for them when things get ugly.

!!Takashiro Giou
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Uraboku_05-180_2354.png
!!!!!!Voiced by: TakehitoKoyasu

The current head of the Giou Clan. A suave and charming, but at the same time no-nonsense man who regards sacrifices as a necessity, even if it breaks his heart to be so cruel. Possessing a grimoire, the ''Book of Solomon'', he is a powerful magician who can cast the most powerful spells and call forth the wildest of monsters when the situation calls for it – even if he only does it as a last resort when nothing else can be done.

He first introduces himself as Yuki’s older half-brother and tell him he’s spent years looking for Yuki. Even if Yuki is reluctant at first, he eventually joins his brother in the war, and for the first time in a very long time, Takashiro feels like they may finally have a chance to win this war once and for all…
----
* BigGood
* {{Biseinen}}
* ColorCodedWizardry: His magic is often red, in contrast with Reiga's blue.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy
* [[spoiler:ManipulativeBastard: Thinks of himself as this, since he must tell many lies, make sacrifices when it’s necessary and coldheartedly manipulates those around him in order to keep the Giou Clan from losing the war against the Duras.]]
* [[spoiler:NotBloodSiblings: Surprise! He isn’t actually Yuki’s half-brother – he just lied about it in order to manipulate Yuki into joining the Giou Clan.]]
* ScarsAreForever: "Wounds made by a friend will never heal…"
* [[spoiler:WhoWantsToLiveForever: Back when the war started, Takashiro cast a forbidden spell that sealed a Duras inside himself. Therefore, he is not reincarnated like the Zweilts; instead, the Duras keeps on regenerating his mind and body, meaning he will never age, die from physical wounds or forget anything, ever.]]

!!Tachibana Giou
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Uraboku_07-060_8302.png
!!!!!!Voiced by: ShinichiroMiki

The steward of the Twilight Mansion. He has an upbeat personality and likes to keep the conversation going.

* PluckyComicRelief

!!Isuzu Fujiwara
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Uraboku_07-310_8908.png
!!!!!!Voiced by: KenNarita

Isuzu is the Giou's family doctor who works full time at the infirmary located at the Twilight Mansion. Isuzu is known for passing out for various days from lack of sleep, which is caused by his sleepless and restless nights of researching Duras. As he is very fascinated by the subject matter, he is always looking for an opportunity to examine Luka’s body.
----
* BeautifulAllAlong: His introduction isn’t very… flattering. But once he shaves and cleans himself up it's a different story.
* {{Biseinen}}: And how!
* ChivalrousPervert: Arguably. When he suggests an examination, his words and actions about treatment always come off as perverted, but it’s unclear whether he is aware of it or not.
* HospitalHottie: Except he doesn’t work at a hospital, he's the family doctor instead.
* HeCleansUpNicely

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Uraboku_12-381_6661.png
!!!!!!Voiced by: AkiraIshida

Kanata grew up alongside Yuki at the Asahi Orphanage, where they shared a close bond like that of brothers. Being older, Kanata moved out before the story’s beginning and became independent, but he often visited Yuki and asked him to live with him in the future. When he wasn’t spending time with his dear Yuki, Kanata would often do research about a mysterious old book he had had in his possession since he was little: the ''Book of Raziel''.

It would later turn out that Kanata is actually the human incarnation of the Giou Clan’s sworn enemy, Reiga Giou, who once was part of their noble clan but turned his back to them and joined the Duras. Reiga is a necromancer of unbelievable strength and knowledge, which is the reason why he doesn’t recover his memories before his body have physically matured - otherwise the immense stress on his soul and body would kill him. While his heart is just as cold as the ice and snow that surrounds him, the fond memories of his life as Kanata together with Yuki still lingers, confusing and frustrating him, creating a complicated internal conflict about whether or not he should kill the Giou Clan’s last hope – the "Light of God."
----
* AnIcePerson: Reiga.
* BigBad
* {{Bishonen}}
* ColorCodedWizardry: His magic is light blue.

Yuki’s classmate. A boy who has had a harsh life but finds peace in gardening. At some point, he became cranky, always frustrated, and he rejected Yuki like the plague, and didn't even take care of his dear flowers. It is revealed that he is been possessed by a Duras, causing him to act that way, and his possession is the first real experience with Duras that Yuki encounters.

[[folder:Duras]]

The Duras are residents of the Infernus ({{Hell}}) and the enemies that the Giou Clan has sworn to destroy. The word Duras itself actually means “The Proud Ones”. Duras who come to the human world often possess humans who hold darkness in their hearts, effectively growing stronger by feeding on their negative emotions. Since the power levels between the Duras vary, they are categorized like this:

'''Niedatrechy''', low-level demons who mostly take the forms of beasts or reptiles. Unlike the higher-class Duras, these little guys can appear spontaneously in the human world without answering to a necromancer’s call.

'''Midvillain''', humanoid creatures with much higher level of intelligence and sentience than the Niedatrechy. A person who is possessed by a Midvillain can be discerned by the mark that appears on the victim’s body during said possession.

'''Opast''', the highest ranking Duras. They all look like unearthly beautiful people. An Opast can (and will!) easily kill even the most experienced magician, and even the legendary Zweilts are advised not to fight an Opast unless it’s absolutely necessary. The highest ranking Opasts, called general class, are second only to the Demon Lord in terms of raw power and cruelty.

Ashley is a cheerful girl who cares about her appearance, surrounds herself with toys and stuffed animals, is always wearing a smile on her face, and loves pretty teenage boys. She also happens to be a blood-thirsty, cruel Opast who kidnaps humans and/or kills them in various ways just to amuse herself.

A general class Opast who fell in love with Luka, or as she knows him, “Zess”. She has yearned for him for centuries now, and her patience is almost worn out: Zess will belong to her at all costs. Only with her can they, two pure immortals, live and love each other for an eternity. Anything or anyone that comes in her way will face the consequences and it will not be pretty.

One of the most dangerous Opasts seen so far, Cadenza has earned every right to carry the nickname “Master Killer” proudly, as he almost always kills the poor necromancer who was foolish enough to summon him. He is easily recognized by his long, crimson hair that seems to gain an aggressive glow when he does his evil deeds. That blood red colour and his hollowed laughter will haunt your nightmares forever if you manage to survive an encounter with this devil.

The characters of the anime and manga series ''Uragiri wa Boku no Namaw wo Shitteiru'' (''The Betrayal Knows My Name'' in English).

Love… love is such a powerful, complicated, unpredictable thing. It can transcend time and space, tear down walls of differences, and be found in the place you least expected to find it.

A long, long time ago, a young woman fell in love with one of the enemies she had long fought to destroy – a beautiful demoon that was treated by his own kin as but a slave and sinner. In spite of their differences, he chose to stay by her side and joined her in the war that already had lasted for hundreds and hundreds of years.

[[WMG:Yuki Sakurai/Giou]]

Our main protagonist. Selfless, polite, kind and good with children, Yuki is loved by everyone at the Asahi Orphanage where he grew up. Yet he can’t seem to escape the feelings of loneliness and being unwanted, since his parents abandoned him. Because of this, he has a very low sense of self-esteem that holds him back in life. He’s easily swayed by other people’s emotions, but his heart of gold and genuine desire to help others also makes him more understanding towards people who others turn away from. When the situation calls for it, he can actually be very heroic – and this is when the people around him recognize him as the charismatic leader they loved so deeply in their past lives.

Yuki is the bearer of ''Light of God'', a divine power that first and foremost gives him access to people’s emotions and memories if he touches them when they are in emotional pain. At younger age, he thought of himself as weird for having this power, but soon comes to terms with it as the story progresses. He also discovers another aspect of the ''Light of God'' – the power to heal wounds and soothe people’s hearts with his warm, lovingly light.

Unlike the Zweilt Guardians, he has no recollections of his past lives, and yet he can’t help but feel oddly nostalgic around Luka…

* CombatMedic: Gifted with the ''Light of God'', Yuki is a powerful healer central to the Giou Clan's battle against the Duras.

* GenderFlip: Used to be female in all his previous incarnations, but was for some reason born as a male in this life.

* RedHeadedHero: At least in the anime. In coloured manga artworks, he seems to be more of a dark blond/light brunett.

[[WMG:Luka Crosszeria (“Zess”)]]

Known for his unrivaled power and beauty that made even the Demon Lord himself adore him, Luka is the Duras (specifically, an Opast) that fell in love with the previous incarnation of Yuki and swore her eternal dedication. While he is completely loyal to Yuki in this life as well, he won’t tell him the nature of their relationship in the past, for reasons still unknown. Usually indifferent, reserved and not the best person to have around, Yuki is able to open up his heart, little by little, and nowadays, seeing Luka with a smile on his face is not as unthinkable as it was before.

As an ally to the Giou clan he is something of trump card to them, as his knowledge of his own kind is information worth its own weight in gold. Not to mention his unbelievable power level that kills lesser demons with simply by ''existing side by side with him'', and throws high-level Opast off their feet. Once thing is for sure: The Giou Clan would be ''a lot'' weaker without Luka on their side.

* MarkOfShame: Like all members of the Crosszeria clan, he’s been branded with the “Brand Zess”, forever marking him as a traitor. ''Un''like other Brand Zess’s, however, his mark is that of a bright red colour and specifically called “The Bloody Cross”, which means [[spoiler:his blood has been mingled with the Demon Lord’s, thus making him his property]].
* PerpetualFrowner: Gorgeous looks non-withstanding, he doesn’t exactly wear a friendly expression on his face.

* '''TallDarkAndHandsome''': JUST LOOK AT HIM!

Reincarnated over and over thanks to powerful magic, the Zweilt Guardians are the members of the Giou Clan whose sole purpose in life is to protect their beloved ''Light of God'' and slay all the Duras that cross their way. These young warriors are born with supernatural powers and can, by the power of their Zweilt rings, [[SummonToHand materialize their respective weapons just by thinking]].

Generally speaking, the Zweilt Guardians work in pairs which does not only make them more effective in combat by numbers, but also because the bond between the Guardians will strengthen their minds to the point where they can fight as one single being. Most Zweilt Guardians have been paired consistently through their many lifetimes and know each other by hearts.

[[WMG:Touko Murasame]]

One of the first Zweilts we encounter, Touko is a cheerful girl who is always there to make you smile again when you feel down, whether it is by kind words or a loving hug. But she’s more than just a cheerleader – she is tough and snarky when she needs to, always quick to react when exposed to injustice and can be more than a handful when she’s really angry. To make a long story short, Touko is an easily likeable character – to the point of her being ''the'' one of the Zweilts that is closest to Luka.

Specializing in offense, Touko is the bearer of the ''Ears of God''. However, her case is not as powerful as Tsukumo’s (who has the same gift), so she only shares some of his abilities, such as telepathy and unusually good hearing. When battling the Duras, she wields a large sword called ''Eon'' (Eternity).

Her Zweilt partner is her younger brother Tsukumo.

* {{BFS}}: Eon is HUGE.

* GenkiGirl with some shades of CoolBigSis
* GirlishPigtails: Sometimes (like on the provided picture).

* RapunzelHair: Her hair reaches her waist, or even below depending on the picture.

* YokoOhNo: Her closeness with her brother causes his fangirls to become VERY jealous and suspicious of her.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Is fond of these even when she’s not in her school uniform.

[[WMG:Tsukumo Murasame]]

Another Zweilt we meet early on, Tsukumo is calm and relaxed without being lazy or indifferent; likewise sweet and friendly without being officious or a doormat. He is also a very generous soul and doesn’t hesitate to share loads and loads of whatever snack/candy he’s always seen munching on. While generally disliking conflicts, he’s not above some mild teasing and snarky comments in order to amuse himself. He might not be as openly expressive as his sister, but he cares deeply for his friends and is ''not'' unaffected when something bad happens to them. One should keep it as a general rule that basically, if ''Tsukumo''’s upset, then shit has ''really'' hit the fan.

Specializing in defense, Tsukumo is the bearer of the ''Ears of God'', which, among other things, allows him to sense people, hear their hearts and thoughts, speak to them through telepathy, and communicate with animals (most notably birds). He wields a gun called ''Knell'' (Funeral Bell), which he can use to drive Duras out of human bodies they have taken in possession, but he cannot actually kill them with this weapon.

His Zweilt partner is his older sister Touko.

* CoolGun: ''Knell''.

* SweetTooth: Is ALWAYS seen snacking on something.

[[WMG:Hotsuma Renjou]]

Short-tempered and impulsive, Hotsuma doesn’t give the friendliest of impressions – at first sight, he appears to be just an arrogant, angry thug. However, despite his rough exterior and foul mouth, he is actually very passionate, sincere and will go to any lengths to help those who are dear to him. The truth is, he’s quite a “people person” – he just doesn’t realize it himself. This isn’t made easier by the fact that he tends to clash with other people that, just like him, has a lot of character, such as Touko and Kuroto. One thing is for sure though; once you have Hotsuma on your side, you can count on him to be there for you when there’s trouble ahead.

Specializing in offence, Hotsuma is the bearer of the ''Voice of God'', a power which usually manifests in fire that is activated by his voice. Since this is a very fickle power, he has uncertain control of it and sometimes fears others will get hurt because of it. He wields a blade called ''Master Stroke'' (Divine Skill), which also holds fire power.

His Zweilt partner is his childhood friend Shuusei.

* [[spoiler:InterruptedSuicide: Tried to off himself by cursing the ''Voice of God'' upon himself, but thankfully, Shuusei was there to stop him.]]

** [[spoiler:[[DotingParent Doting Parents]]: Cruelly subverted. When Hotsuma’s parents learned of his powers, they started to fear him and became overly sweet and kind to him just to make sure they wouldn’t anger him and thus get killed by spontaneous combustion. Of course, they were glad to get rid of him when he was finally taken in by the Giou clan. However…]]
** [[spoiler:FinancialAbuse: As the parents of a Zweilt Guardian receive money from the Giou Clan in order to properly raise their child, Hotsuma’s parents only see him as a cash cow and pops up every now and then when in need of money.]]

[[WMG:Shuusei Usui]]

Thinking before acting, Shuusei is quiet and sensitive, and his excellent grades make him a model pupil at school. But behind the proper demeanour, those small teasing comments and weak smiles, he hides severe self-esteem issues that can cause him to go many days and nights without barely eating or sleeping at all. Don’t take him for a weakling just because of this, though; while he is more delicate than most, it also makes him unexpectedly stubborn and courageous. With his high intelligence and way of reasoning before reacting, he is a resourceful ally whose determination is surpassed by few.

Specializing in defense, Shuusei is the bearer of the ''Eyes of God''. This power gives him a sixth sense that allows him to sense enemies, shoot energy balls at them, support his fellow guardians and put up magical barriers. He wields two short swords called ''Kurai Kurou'' (Crime and Punishment).

His Zweilt partner is his childhood friend Hotsuma.

* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead: Thanks to Hotsuma using his ''Voice of God'', his command “LIVE!” woke Shuusei up from the Eternal Sleep that Ashley put him in.]]

* {{Bishonen}}: Gets called such in-story several times.
* [[spoiler:CoveredWithScars: At good part of his upper body is covered with nasty burn marks he got when he interrupted Hotsuma’s suicide.]]

* DualWielding: ''Kurai Kurou''.

* [[spoiler:ParentalAbandonment / ParentalNeglect: His parents pretty much lost interest in him, assumedly because they were weirded out by his powers, and his mother even called him an “it”.]]

[[WMG:Senshirou Furuouri]]

Because of things that happened in the past, Senshirou only just recently became a Zweilt. This is not an easy task, as a new Zweilt only comes by every few hundreds of years or so, and is then suspected to several kinds of harsh tests before it is decided if the person has what it takes. However, the hard-working Senshirou endured his training for many years and is now ready to stand eye to eye with the demons he is expected to kill. To do this, he uses a large calligraphy brush to draw spells in thin air and also wields a gigantic scythe appropriately named ''Death Scythe''.

* SinisterScythe: ''Death Scythe''.

* WordsCanBreakMyBones: As long as they are spelled out by my magic brush pencil.

[[WMG:Kuroto Hourai]]

Kuroto is serious and quiet, but not above letting go of things he love in order to achieve a greater goal – which is why he had to give up his life-long passion for shogi. He hates being complimented, as that is the easiest way to embarrass him and make him loose his indifferent posture. He considers himself a loner, but Senshirou seems to be melting his heart slowly but steadily...

When in battle, Kuroto wields a black katana named ''Izanagi'' (Hell).

--->'''Yuki''' (upon their first meeting): You're totally pretty in real life too! (*O*)

* [[BlackSwordsAreBetter Black]] KatanasAreJustBetter: ''Izanagi''.
* NotSoStoic: For someone so serious, he sure is easily flustered.
* PeekABangs: Though not always (as seen on the provided image)

[[WMG:Takashiro Giou]]

The current head of the Giou Clan. A suave and charming, but at the same time no-nonsense man who regards sacrifices as a necessity, even if it breaks his heart to be this cruel. Possessing a grimoire, the '' Book of Solomon'', he is a powerful magician who can cast the most powerful spells and call forth the wildest of monsters when the situation calls for it – even if he only does it as a last resort when nothing else can be done.

When we first see him, he introduces himself as Yuki’s older half brother and tell him he’s spent years looking for Yuki. Even if Yuki is reluctant at first, he eventually joins his brother in this war, and for the first time in a very long time, Takashiro feels like they may finally have a chance to win this war once and for all…

* [[spoiler:ManipulativeBastard: ''Thinks'' of himself as this, since he must tell many lies, make sacrifices when it’s needed and coldheartedly manipulate those around him in order to keep the Giou Clan from losing the war against the Duras.]]

* ScarsAreForever: ''Wounds made by a friend will never heal''…
* [[spoiler:WhoWantsToLiveForever: Back when the war started, Takashiro casted a forbidden spell that sealed a Duras inside himself. Therefore, he is not reincarnated like the Zweilts; instead, the Duras keeps on regenerating his mind and body, meaning he will never age, die from physical wounds or forget anything, ever.]]

[[WMG:Tachibana Giou]]

The steward of the Twilight Mansion. He has an upbeat personality and likes to keep a conversation going.

[[WMG:Isuzu Fujiwara]]

* BeautifulAllAlong: His introduction isn’t very… flattering. But once he shaves and cleans himself up, oh my~!
* {{Biseinen}}: And HOW!
* ChivalrousPervert: Arguably. His actions and words about treatment when he suggests an examination always come out as perverted, but it’s unclear whether he is aware of it or not.

[[WMG:Kanata Wakamiya / Reiga Giou]]

Kanata grew up alongside Yuki at the Asahi Orphanage, where they shared a close bond like that of two brothers. As Kanata was the older one, he moved out before the show’s start and became independent, but he would often visit Yuki and ask him to live with him. When he didn’t spend time with his adored Yuki, Kanata would often do research about a mysterious old book he had had in his possession since he was little – The ''Book of Raziel''.

It would later turn out that Kanata is actually the human incarnation of the Giou Clan’s sworn enemy; Reiga Giou, who once was part of their noble clan but, for reasons yet unknown, turned his back to them and joined the Duras. Reiga is a necromancer of unbelievable strength and knowledge, which is the reason why he didn’t recover his memories before his body had physically matured - otherwise the immense stress on his soul and body would have killed him. While his heart is just as cold as the ice and snow that surrounds him, the fond memories of his life as Kanata together with Yuki still lingers, confusing and frustrating him, creating a complicated internal conflict whether or not to kill the Giou Clan’s last hope – The ''Light of God''.

[[WMG: Uzuki]]

Yuki’s classmate. A boy who has had a harsh life but finds peace in gardening. But something seems to be wrong with him lately; he is cranky, always frustrated, he rejects Yuki like the plague, and not even taking care of his dear flowers can soothe is mind. Whatever could it be that troubles Uzuki…?

[[WMG:Ibuki Shikibe]]

* SassySecretary: Averted, as she is very loyal and polite.

[[WMG:Aya Kureha]]

A maid who works at Twilight Mansion. Her older brother Fuyutoki works at the main residence of the Giou Clan.

[[WMG:Katsumi Tooma]]

* DramaQueen: He doesn’t take it very well when someone criticize his food, or, at the very least, HINTS at eating anything else than what he’s just cooked.

[[WMG:Fuyotoki Kureha]]

The butler of the main residence of the Giou Clan. He is very loyal to Takashiro and sees it as but a pleasure to serve his master. His younger sister Aya works at the Twilight Mansion.

[[WMG:Tsubaki Shikibe]]

* [[SchoolgirlLesbians Schoolgirl Lesbian]]: Maybe. She does say that she likes girl far more than boys. Which, together with her DoesNotLikeMen attitude, [[UnfortunateImplications well…]]

[[WMG:Masamune Shinmei]]

* {{Bishonen}}: [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys Anyone’s surprised?]]

[[WMG:Sodom]]

Luka’s familiar. Don’t let his cute appearance and friendly behavior fool you: this adorable little fellow WILL kick your ass if his Master commands him to.

* {{Keet}}: What can we say, he is a happy and playful individual.

The Duras are residents of the Infernus ({{Hell}}) and the enemies that the Giou Clan has sworn to destroy. The word Duras itself actually means “The Proud Ones”. Duras who come to the our world often possess humans who hold darkness in their hearts, effectively growing stronger by feeding on their negative emotions. Since the power levels between the Duras vary, they need to be categorized, and the classes go like this:

'''Niedatrechy''', low-level demons who mostly take the forms of beats or reptiles. Unlike the higher-class Duras, these little guys can appear spontaneously in the human world without having answered to a necromancer’s call.

'''Opast''', the highest ranking Duras. They all look like unearthly beautiful people, but don’t let that pretty face fool you – an Opast can (and will!) easily kill even the most experienced magician, and even the legendary Zweilts are advised not to fight an Opast unless it’s absolutely necessary. The highest ranking Opast, called general class, are second only to the Demon Lord in terms of raw power and cruelty.

Since most of the Duras we see don’t have much character to speak of, this section of the character sheet will mostly consist of information about the high-level Opasts.

[[WMG:Ashley]]

Ashley is a cheerful girl who cares about her appearance, surrounds herself with toys and stuffed animals, is always wearing a smile on her face, and LOVES pretty teenage boys. She also happens to be a blood-thirsty, cruel Opast who kidnaps humans and/or kills them in various ways just to amuse herself, but that’s beside the point.

[[WMG:Elegy]]

A general class Opast who’s fallen in love with Luka, or as she know him, “Zess”. She has yearned for him for centuries now, and her patience is almost over: Zess WILL belong to her at all costs. Only together with her can they, two pure immortals, live and love eachother for an eternity. Anything or anyone that comes in her way will face the consequences – and it will not be pretty.

* IfICantHaveYou: … “Then I’ll kill you, Zess!”

[[WMG:Cadenza]]

[[WMG:Luze]]

An Opast that had a small role in the anime, but in the manga, he is still waiting for his moment to come, eagerly longing for Reiga’s call to summon him to the Earth [[spoiler:and finally see his brother Luka again]].

* [[spoiler:{{Hermaphrodite}}: According to Luka in the manga, Elegy's body has both female ''and'' male parts.]] [[FlatWhat Wut]].

* [[spoiler:{{Hermaphrodite}}: According to Luka in the manga, Elegy has both female ''and'' male body parts.]] [[FlatWhat Wut]].

* {{Moe}}: Apparently invokes this in many (female) characters, as are several times when people swoon over him in a [[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe I’m taking him home with me!]]-manner.

* HumansAreBastards

* TheUntwist: If you watch the anime, you will hardly be surprised by the reveal of Reiga’s identity, since you could hear him talk several times in earlier episodes – and when he did, he had Kanata’s voice actor.

* JerkassWoobie: YMMV.

One of the most dangerous Opasts seen so far, Cadenza has earned every right to carry the nickname the “Master Killer” proudly, as he almost always kills the poor necromancer who was foolish enough to summon him. He is easily recognized by his long, crimson hair that seems to gain an aggressive glow when he does his evil deeds.
