TheMafiaAnimals Origin Profiles — Executive Profiles

A collection of individual character profiles for the Origin 48 executives. All 48 members.

No.002 Jumbo 🐘 Elephant

His public face is president of a front company for the TMA Family (a trading firm that supports the Family's activities — above-board and below — on the logistics and materiel side).
As president (the public face) he's in a position to give orders to employees (some of whom are members), while as the mafioso (the private face) he looks after executives and rank-and-file alike.
He thinks of himself as more of a secretary type, but everyone around him sees him as a doting, fussing father figure.
Easygoing by nature; doesn't sweat the small stuff.
He treasures the pipe handed down to him by his father (a former president and former executive) at the change of the guard (for now, Jumbo is supposedly the only one who carries a pipe…).
He only smokes during mafia business.
Ranked #1 in the TMA arm-wrestling rankings (→ see No.005 Joseph).
Established lore: the liquor sold at the city's convenience stores is supplied wholesale by Jumbo's company (see TMA-Lore / Daily Life, "Jumbo Liquors & Co.").

No.003 Travis 🐯 Tiger

Real name: Travis Lancelot
Background: Born into a mafia family. His family was wealthy and held secret ties to the underworld. Given every opportunity to be educated and to deepen his knowledge, from childhood he posted excellent grades to live up to his parents' expectations.
Personality: A powerful hunger for knowledge and information, with meticulous, logical thinking. Within the organization he handles intelligence-gathering and coordination, managing confidential information with fine precision. Calm and quick-witted, he always acts with the organization's safety in mind.
Appearance: A classic suit; an intellectual, precise air. The scar over his left eye comes from combat during a mission in his youth, when he infiltrated an enemy hideout to protect the organization. He is still hunting that enemy to this day. The scar is proof of that past battle and speaks to his devotion to his intelligence role.
Public and private: Officially a high-ranking local-government official. Known as an earnest, upstanding public servant — a standing that serves as camouflage for the mafia's activities.

No.004 Lea 🐻 Bear

Usually mild-mannered; level-headed and clever.
Take his glasses off and he turns ferocious. He loves a good fight. (Established lore: he always carries a spare pair of glasses.)
His mind works well for wicked schemes; his specialty is collecting money.
The second-born son. No taste for drink or tobacco. Takes his coffee black.

No.005 Joseph 🐻 Bear

He grew up wealthy and dearly loved as a child, but got caught up in a feud that wiped out his family, leaving him to live as a lone wolf.
Even in hard times he kept up steady effort, and by leveraging brawn and brains he came to rule the loan-sharking trade; today he holds a fixer-like position in the scene.
Lately he rarely stands on the front line, preferring to scheme — but when cornered he steps up to the firing line and counterattacks aggressively, of his own accord.
Toward enemies he is cold-blooded and merciless, his attacks savage; the face he shows his own is gentle, and no one's sense of camaraderie runs deeper.
He actually loves sweets. Fearing that the gap with his image would get him underestimated, he keeps it strictly hidden. (Established lore: he's bad with shaved ice because it gives him brain-freeze.)
Ranked #3 in the TMA arm-wrestling rankings (#1 Jumbo, #2 Mathison).

No.009 Luck 🦝 Raccoon

His public face is a detective, and he's good at gathering information (he handles intel for TMA too).
True to his name, he's blessed with good fortune. When in a bind, he lets a coin or dice decide the matter (…is he really a detective? lol).
Catchphrase: "Luck is part of skill."
He can't settle down unless he's always up to something, forever chasing incidents and interesting information.
Flush with money and well-liked even by younger members (which doubles as part of his information-gathering).

No.013 Kenfy 🐯 Tiger

His motto: honor, money, freedom.
Captured by a keeper in the savanna, he escaped out of sheer boredom; he remains a wanted fugitive, still being searched for.
Currently runs the shady underground casino "Happy Return."

No.015 Riccardo 🐼 Panda

An orphan, taken in and adopted by the mafia in Italy.
From a young age he climbed the ranks as, ostensibly, a fighter — though he's actually timid and delicate.
Having risen more by luck, and hating pain, he's now an "intellectual" mafioso.
Officially he eats nothing but bamboo. In truth he's a gourmand who'll eat anything and loves good food (a food-crawl buddy of Al's).

No.016 Nancy 🦊 Fox

Origins: Taken in and raised by the organization as an orphan, she feels a deep debt to the Family. The piercing in her right ear is a keepsake of the mentor who raised her (Nancy is that mentor's successor); she keeps it on her, never parting with it.
Work: A globe-trotting jeweler, auctioneer, and auction-runner (reselling the precious metals, paintings, and the like that circulate through underworld dealings). Officially she is a banker running a money-lending business, boasting abundant capital; the banking arm also serves the organization's money-laundering.
Her combat ability is low; she excels at securing materiel, arranging funds, and various behind-the-scenes maneuvering. Wielding the muscle of her capital, she also quietly runs buyout operations against rival powers.
Personality & tastes: She fundamentally trusts no one, but places absolute trust in the Family and in the value of art and precious metals. The sharpest dresser among the TMA executives (her clothes are always made by her regular tailor). She habitually wears a wide-brimmed hat, and switches perfumes to suit the occasion. Something of a clean freak. She loathes rough talk and conduct, holding quiet, smart bearing as her creed.
She neither smokes cigarettes nor cigars, and dislikes smoking around her. A gourmand who takes care to keep her coat glossy.
Deeply versed in the arts in general, and especially fond of music; she is a frequent visitor to the viola orchestra. She privately finds it galling that purges are carried out during concerts — a desecration of music (→ see No.030 Viola).
A serious sweet tooth. Her cocktail of choice is the "Rusty Nail" (she privately avoids the Godfather, feeling it isn't her style).
Usually taciturn, but a few drinks bring out a rather talkative, self-assured side.

No.017 Schnell 🐆 Cheetah

Younger brother of No.007 Bonnie.
Since he trailed after his big sister from a young age, by the time he noticed it he'd become a mafioso.
Impatient, and above all fleet of foot; the moment a situation turns bad for him, he's gone before anyone notices.
Protected and doted on by his sister, he's had no end of hardship because of it. He holds fierce respect for the executives who clawed their way up on their own, while toward his sister he carries a vague sense of mission — "I have to protect her."
His eyepatch and cigarettes are tough-guy props, worn to make himself look like a mafia executive and bigger than he is (he doesn't actually like cigarettes; his left eye can see just fine).
He wants to be free, bound by nothing — and he feels TMA is a comfortable place where even someone like him is accepted.

No.018 De Rosa 🐱 Cat

Younger sister of No.008 Tom. (lol)
She spent her childhood idolizing her brilliant brother, and followed in his footsteps onto the TMA path.
Making use of her caring nature, her public face is the "mama" of a club.
Her drink of choice is vodka. Usually gentle, she becomes an even more endearing character when drunk.
Whether she has children, not even her brother Tom knows. She tells everyone she'll be single for life.
Childhood friends with Fang and Fango, and close with them; a longtime rival of Via, Al, and Woo.
Catchphrase: "Come by anytime you're in trouble." (She's also the one who hears out Mukai's grumbling.)

No.019 Neuman 🦝 Raccoon

Father a banker, mother a homemaker; the youngest of three siblings. A genius with an IQ of 180, born suddenly into an ordinary household.
Speaking at six months old, fluent in seven languages in early childhood, and enrolled at a prestigious university at thirteen.
His family and everyone around him couldn't keep pace with his extraordinary growth, and he grew up isolated.
For things that interest him he shows outstanding memory, but he can't remember anything that doesn't interest him at all. He's also bad with faces and names, and can't tell Fango, Fang, Via, Al, or Woo apart.
Broadly versed in mathematics, geometry, physics, engineering, astronomy, geology, meteorology, economics, and political science.
Extremely poor at communication, and unable to read a room. He has a habit of talking down to people without meaning to. He drifted from job to job, and was teaching as a professor at a rural university when the TMA Family took him in.
He serves as TMA's strategist, war-counsel, and schemer. He never neglects the grooming of his prized tail. A serious sweet tooth.

No.020 Lucas 🐯 Tiger

In the outside world, a teacher at a Chinese martial-arts school, passing Eastern thought and culture on to children.
Usually a man of few words, but where his comrades are concerned his face changes and he throws himself into the fight.

No.021 Anedo 🐻 Bear

Liaison within the TMA Family and go-between for the various members. He also has pull among politicians and acts as the link to above-ground society.
Strong intelligence-gathering ability and a wide network. With his outstanding negotiation skills he pulls off big deals.
He doesn't like fighting. For deals he brings Shiva along as his bodyguard (→ see No.032).
His cigars are a prop to make himself look bigger.

No.025 Walf 🐺 Wolf

Real name: Andrew F. Lune / Code name: Walf
Origin: Palermo, Sicily, Italy
Personality: Set in his ways and hating to have his rhythm disrupted, he often works alone. In truth he's caring, with a soft spot for the members he's close to.
Favorite words: Le gioie più grandi vanno sempre divise con chi si ama. (The greatest joys are always to be shared with those you love.)
Favorite flower: the black rose / Favorite cigar: Toscanello
How he became an executive: From childhood he had a strong sense of justice and devoted himself as a Carabiniere (the national gendarmerie). Better with the sword than the gun, he favored two daggers, "Asena / Fenrir." His exploits earned him comparison — and dread — as the Mánagarmr (the Moon Hound) of Norse myth. He suffered grievous injury, losing his left eye in a firefight with terrorists, was cast aside by the top brass, and lost the will to live. It was then that he met the executive Via and learned the path of protecting his country from the shadows, as a mafioso. Three months after joining the Family he had no reputation to speak of, yet he bought his way into an executive seat with under-the-table money.

No.026 Chloe 🦡 Weasel

Real name: Chloe Sirene / Origin: France / First person: watashi (私)
Appearance: A stylish, alluring beauty. Always in high heels and a tight suit, never without her sunglasses — a fashionable woman. Good at playing coy, but calculating. The TMA executives' resident femme fatale.
Background: She was the daughter of a famous French politician, but when her parents were assassinated while she was young she was orphaned, and the underworld took her in. Wielding her striking beauty and intellect as weapons, she single-handedly handles espionage and covert operations in Animalia. While shining as the flower of high society on the surface, in the shadows she clawed her way up with cold judgment and cunning.
Favorite food: the croque-monsieur at the old Paris café "Café de Roll."

No.027 Fango 🐶 Bulldog

He's belonged to the mafia for as long as he can remember. According to the previous-generation executive, he was picked up as an infant.
He was very attached to that predecessor. Since the predecessor's hobby was mountaineering and Fango often tagged along, mountaineering became his hobby too.
When the predecessor executive died, an executive seat opened and his path to becoming an executive was cleared — but he harbors doubts about that death, suspecting its cause lies within the TMA Family. He holds an executive seat largely because it makes such information easier to investigate. His loyalty to the boss is not high.
Back in his rank-and-file days, on the predecessor's orders he confronted the town ruffian Fang, told to "bring him to heel or finish him off" — but judging that Fang would make better material if brought into the mafia, he arranged for him to become a member (→ see No.037).

No.028 Kanoko 🦌 Deer

While playing the part of a coffee-shop master by day, he gathers information on the whole of TMA city and pulls its strings from the shadows.
Cool and intellectual in looks, but he actually has a short temper, and often clashes with the carnivorous members — perhaps this stems from a childhood trauma…
Every day, at a fixed hour, he steps away for exactly two hours. Where he goes and what he does there, no one can ever learn…

No.030 Viola 🐱 Lynx

On the surface, an orchestra conductor. Called an oddball (as musicians often are), but in the outside world he lives a fairly ordinary life.
Every orchestra member is a mafia member. During a concert, right as the piece swells to its climax, the members carry out a purge — the concert hall doubles as a place to conceal purges. The rest of the audience, of course, knows nothing of it.
He scolds Via nearly every day (→ see No.034).

No.031 Gecko 🐻 Bear

A fundraiser (he loves both raising money and spending it).
Born to a poor family from the slums. Sly and cunning, but he never takes from the weak. A hero in the slums, a hated man in the city.
Having lost his family over money in childhood — a sad experience — he came to be obsessed with money. His nature is warped, but he's kind to the poor.
Can't hold his drink (a total lightweight); loves sweets. His need for self-display runs strong, and he tends to parade about with underlings and beautiful women. Surprisingly loyal to his comrades, and a charmer.
Tends to get up to no good with Via (→ see No.034).

No.032 Shiva 🦍 Gorilla

In above-ground society, president of a construction company and a real-estate company. Behind the scenes he runs loan-sharking and does the collections himself.
Absurdly well-versed in law and taxes. Through an overseas corporation, he's launching a lending business that takes NFTs as collateral.
He also runs a facility that raises orphans, and he's kind to children.
Loves muscle. Anedo's bodyguard (→ see No.021).

No.033 Genji 🐏 Sheep

Not from a mafia lineage, but from a family of entrepreneurs (a Japanese-style Rothschild image).
A strategist-type said to be the strongest No.2. He has command presence and is a pacifist, holding to the creed of "winning without fighting."
His sense of camaraderie is strong, and he's strict about the code. In his youth he wounded his left eye while helping a comrade in a feud (the extent of the scar is unknown).
He keeps under his command the "Genji Five (G5)." Each runs a different business and commands many members of their own, and their information network is his greatest weapon.
In the outside world, a dealer in antiques (with an excellent eye for the genuine article). His hobbies are knitting and sword collecting. His beloved blade is "Onikirimaru."
A quirk: he twirls his fur around a finger when thinking.
He has his hands full with Mukai's free-spiritedness, yet can't quite dislike him (→ see No.040).

No.034 Via 🐰 Rabbit

The eldest-brother figure of the three brothers (Via, Al, Woo).
Bursting with curiosity. Loves making money. Can't rest until he's done whatever he wants to do, right now.
Strong sense of camaraderie. A rival of De Rosa — and actually good friends with her.
Tends to get up to no good with Gecko. Gets scolded by Viola nearly every day, lol.
The very one who led Walf onto the mafia path (→ see No.025).

No.035 Al 🐰 Rabbit

The second of the three brothers. The calmest, the one who holds things together. A man of common sense.
Extremely considerate of those around him. Extremely kind. A true friend.
Likes to keep his private life hidden. Goes on food crawls with Riccardo (→ see No.015).
A closet lecher.

No.036 Woo 🐰 Rabbit

The third of the three brothers. The mafia's dedicated legal counsel.
He supports the TMA Family with a business mindset, making logical proposals from a legal standpoint.
At formal negotiations he stays calm and keeps emotion out of it. Others tend to be on guard around him, but he's surprisingly soft-spoken and courteous in manner and word.
At the hideaway bar he runs as a hobby, he serves as a counselor to members. From the customers who visit, he sometimes picks out sincere and capable animals and draws them into the fold.
Easily overtaken by drink; when drunk, he goes strange. A nocturnal hard worker who grinds it out.

No.037 Fang 🐶 Bulldog

Fango's little-brother figure. Fango picked him up when he was living in the back alleys.
Warped and combative by nature; as a mafia soldier he prefers a down-and-dirty fighting style.

No.038 Mahjong 🦌 Gazella

An orphan, Mahjong was taken in and raised by the mafia.
Defeated in a feud between mafias, he was given shelter by the TMA Family and became an executive.
Rich in duty and human feeling, devoted to his comrades. He has the refined allure of a grown adult.
He possesses a phenomenal gift for gambling and is undefeated at games of chance.

No.039 Hugo 🦡 Weasel

Name: Hugo Ferretti / Alias: the Violet Consigliere
Post: A mafia-family executive (a consigliere/strategist role). As the Family's brain, he plans strategy, handles negotiations, and directs assassination contracts. His public face is owner of a luxury jewelry store. Behind the scenes he single-handedly manages money-laundering, smuggling, and information trading.
Appearance: Violet eyes (a keenness that sees through others' lies and fears). A black top hat and a monocle. A dark suit with a gold-chained pocket watch (the mark of a Family executive). Always wearing a faint smile, never letting his composure crack.
Personality: Ever calm and collected, never showing his passions. Calculating, a strategist who reads several moves ahead. His loyalty to the Family is absolute, but he shows no mercy to traitors. Gentlemanly on the surface, he bares his fangs the instant a negotiation breaks down.
To protect the Family's profit and honor, he keeps up his cunning games with the political world, the police, and other Families. His moves never come to light, but behind every great change in the city, his name is surely there.
Signature line: "Those who defy the Family do nothing but sleep at the bottom of the sea."

No.040 Mukai 🐵 Monkey

Recruiter of TMA members and operatives. His main work is scouting and recruitment (officially the hiring manager at a front company), plus other PR activities.
Since he doesn't much care about the finer points of the code, he gives Genji headaches — but he's a character you can't dislike, and the two have built a good relationship.
He also enjoys Jumbo's deep trust, and works with that in mind.
He loves time spent with good food, good drink, and comrades. But he also loves going alone to De Rosa's bar and having her hear out his grumbling.
Speaks in the Kansai dialect.

No.041 Dober 🐶 Doberman

Almost nothing of his background is known. Apart from being an executive, he's a mystery. Tight-lipped.
He observes the code. Beyond the code, his sense of belonging to the Family is strong too. An excessively faithful hound — or a mad dog.
He's certainly not coarse, and clearly of middle-class background or above, yet he combines the decisiveness and extremity of a soldier back from the front. When that belonging fuses with extreme decisiveness, there's a danger he could become a great evil that throws society into disorder.
The Doberman is a superior improved breed, and so his name stands outside the usual dog-breed naming rules; he takes pride in bearing that name. Thus, calling him "dog" in a contemptuous way risks pricking his high pride and turning him into a mad dog.
So long as "Entertain not only yourself, but everyone" is his code, he ought rarely to do anything that would harm others.
Like a guard dog, he's silent, baring his fangs at the first sign of trouble — yet a single order from the boss brings him to heel: a convenient instrument of violence.

No.042 J / Joker 🐆 Snow Leopard

Born as a member of the TMA Circus. His father is unknown; his mother was a leading star of the troupe, but lost her life giving birth to him.
His name was decided by the troupe as "Joker." Most meant it positively — "may he become the finest trump card," "may he make everyone laugh with his jokes" — but among some who had adored his mother, there were negative feelings mixed in too…
Because "Joker" was hard to call out during training, he came to be called "J," and now, with a few exceptions, everyone calls him J.
He now travels the world as the ringmaster leading the TMA Circus, aiming to delight children everywhere. Circus revenue is meager, but as one of the Family's precious public-facing enterprises it receives ample financial backing.
True to the nature of a snow leopard, he trains harshly in the high country and rarely shows himself in the lowlands. Now and then he descends and entertains everyone with all his might.
For someone who deliberately climbs to high altitudes, he's extremely sensitive to cold.
Perhaps because his mother was from the Kansai region, he can't stand it when things end neatly without a punchline. Even when listening to someone talk, he's always expecting a payoff.
He loves drinking with everyone and lively music.

No.043 Agatha 🦁 Lion

A young entrepreneur who appeared in this city one day out of nowhere.
Launching new ventures one after another, she's contributed to the city's development and drawn people's attention — yet her past history is entirely unknown.
A rumor runs through the city that she is "a descendant of the species that has ruled the world from behind the scenes."
She is biding her time, eyeing this city with the intent to seize it in her grasp.

No.045 Paradero 🐆 Leopard

He carries a résumé of rising from an assassin squad to executive on brawn alone. Undefeated in bare-handed combat, a hardcore fighter through and through.
Being a born tough-face, he ends up frightening those around him even when he's just being normal. Even for his portrait he made a point of forcing his biggest, warmest smile — yet he doesn't know that the members still fear it, muttering, "Yeah, Paradero's glare is still terrifying."
His face is scary, but he's actually an easygoing sort. Outside he takes a hard stance so as not to be looked down on, but in front of the Family he lets a playful side show.
He loves auctions, and when there's a piece he's taken a liking to, he'll pull every string to secure it. He often finds himself in bidding wars with Via and Agatha.

No.046 Izaac Ox 🐂 Bull

His name derives from Isaac Newton. He takes as his motto that man's words — "Standing on the shoulders of Giants" — interpreted as: the accumulated achievements of those who came before lead to new discoveries.
The rest of his profile remains unrecorded.

No.048 Neve Nera 🦓 Zebra

Name: Neve Nera (proper pronunciation: Neve Nera) / Japanese name: Kuroyuki, "black snow."
※ In English slang, "snow" also carries the sense of smoothly deceiving someone (talking them into belief).
Alias: the Frozen Enforcer; "black snow."
Species: Equine — a zebra. Even among zebras, Neve Nera's white is abnormally cold and his black abnormally deep.
Personality: A duality of white and black.
Public face: calm, collected, intelligent, taciturn. Well-mannered and gentlemanly. Few words, but an intellect that analyzes a situation in an instant. However chaotic the scene, he never raises his voice. "A man as quiet as snow."
Hidden face: thorough, merciless, an executioner cold as ice. His judgment in a fight is swift, without hesitation. Enemies dread him: "for deceit and betrayal, black snow falls."
Fighting style: Dual pistols (precise shots fired distinctly with left and right). Nimble, he uses his stripes as visual camouflage. He excels at quiet close-quarters combat, moving like a shadow with silenced footsteps. Just before a fight, the air takes on a suddenly chilled quality. When he falls silent, comrade and enemy alike sense that "black snow is falling."
Background: Born into the guard corps of a distinguished lineage, he lost his family when the house was drawn into a feud with the underworld. At the end of his revenge, he was welcomed into TheMafiaAnimals.
Public profession: A high-end tailor. Every one of the Mafia Animals' suits is made by "Neve Nera Tailors."

Neve Nera's Past Incidents

[Incident 1: The White Tragedy] In his youth, his family home — a distinguished guard corps — was targeted in an underworld feud and wiped out in a single night. On a night of quietly falling snow, he knelt beside his family, fallen in the powder snow, and swore: "…This white, I will not forget." From that day, his "white" became not a symbol of kindness but of cold, unshakable resolve.
[Incident 2: Operation Black Snow] Not long after joining, an enemy organization seized a warehouse district and holed up with hostages. With no room for negotiation and a forced assault sure to cost lives, he alone slipped in like a shadow and silently neutralized ten armed men. That night, white smoke pouring from a warehouse window, lit by the black streetlamps, looked like "black snow." Ever since, the underworld has said, "When black snow falls, someone is being judged."
[Incident 3: The Silent Raid] When a young Family member was abducted by a rival organization, and with a trap highly likely, he said quietly: "…I'll go. Snow falls quietly." Deep in the night, he stormed alone into an abandoned, power-cut factory. With no light and no footstep, he put the enemies down, and was outside ten minutes later with the young member in tow. The rescued youngster tells it: "The enemies fell without a sound, right before my eyes… When that man gets angry, the air really does turn cold."
Catchphrases: "Snow falls quietly." "From here on, black snow falls."

Supplementary Profiles (14 Members)

No.001 Leon 🦁 Lion

Seat No.001. The oldest living witness, who directly knew the founding of the Grand Alliance. Once renowned as a fighter, he has now stepped back from the front line to serve as a mediator and counselor for the younger generation.
He takes no pride whatsoever in the weight of holding seat number one. "A number's just the order you lined up in."
Catchphrase: "Don't eat nothing but meat. Only the ones who live long get to see the whole thing."

No.006 Momus 🦊 Fox

His name derives from Momus, the Greek god of mockery and satire. True to the name, a cynic.
Resident playwright of the Silhouette Theater (→ see Animalia-Map). His public face is a sought-after writer of satirical comedies.
His true work is weaving messages to the underworld into his play scripts and staging them. "The third act of that production was an ultimatum to So-and-so" — the decoding is a connoisseur's pleasure.
He always remembers the "patrons who didn't laugh" in the audience — because those who can't laugh have a reason (something to hide).
He despises jokes that hurt no one, and turns truths that wound someone into laughter.
Catchphrase: "Tragedy isn't something you write. It's something you watch — from the best seat in the house."

No.007 Bonnie 🐆 Cheetah

Older sister of No.017 Schnell. She knows full well that her little brother still thinks he "has to protect" her, and pretends not to notice for his sake.
Her trade is a getaway artist — carrying the pursued to safety faster than their pursuers. Her speed ranks among the fastest of the Five Families, though she herself says, "It's not speed — it's not stopping."
Big-sisterly and caring, she makes it her rule to see through the "afterward" of those she spirits away. Her fee is only what the client can pay.
In her youth, running through the night city with her little brother in tow was the origin of this trade 〔citation needed〕.
Her coordination with Caserno (No.023) and Rin (No.044) is known in the underworld as the "Night-Flit Trio" (spirit away → hide → move).
Catchphrase: "I've got no hobby of leaving people behind."

No.008 Tom 🐱 Cat

Older brother of No.018 De Rosa. When his sister calls him her "brilliant brother," it's neither modesty nor exaggeration.
The Grand Alliance's treasurer and accountant. His public face is head of an accounting firm. Meticulous, tidy, never once late on a deadline.
He spots cooked books by the numbers being "too neat." "Books that are too beautiful mean someone's put makeup on them."
His sister's club is the one ledger he won't look at, even if asked ("Not looking at family's wallet is only polite") — though he does keep track of just whether she's walking any dangerous lines.
In contrast to De Rosa, whose very brother doesn't know whether she has children, Tom's private life is entirely made of glass. Which, conversely, gets him rumored to be "hiding something."
Catchphrase: "Numbers don't lie. The ones who lie are always outside the numbers."

No.010 Hyatt 🐺 Wolf

His public face is general manager of the "Hyatt," one of Animalia's premier grand hotels.
The hotel is a neutral zone recognized by all the Families. The secret meetings of the Five Families, the tables where scores are settled, the Tribunal's unofficial deliberations — all take place in the top-floor "room that is never booked" (→ see TMA-Justice).
A wolf who keeps no pack — a lone-wolf hotelier. His courtesy to his staff is knightly, and his guests' secrets he carries to the grave.
The room numbers themselves are a code; say "Room 1204" and, to those in the know, it gets through.
Catchphrase: "What happens in the guest room stays in the guest room."

No.011 Zedd 🦁 Lion

The former champion of the underground arena, Nocturne Arena, and now its promoter (→ see Animalia-Map).
He retired undefeated in his active days. As "the lion who ended still the strongest," he remains a legend.
No one knows why he retired. Some say his knees, some say money, some say "he won so much the betting stopped working" 〔disputed〕.
As a promoter he's peerlessly fair. He tolerates no fixed matches, and it's said Zedd is the one who made the arena's rule, "don't shoot a fighter who's fallen."
Asked about Paradero (No.045)'s legend of being undefeated in bare-handed combat, he answers only, "Say that after you've stepped into the arena" — a bout between the two is the "phantom card" the underworld most wants to see.
Catchphrase: "Z is the last letter. When I step out, that means it's over."

No.012 Mathison 🐘 Elephant

The Grand Alliance's cryptographer and locksmith. A quiet monster specializing in safes that won't open and ciphers that won't break.
He lives out "an elephant never forgets": once he's seen an arrangement or heard a code phrase, he never forgets it for life. All of the Grand Alliance's old cipher books are inside Mathison's head.
Contrary to his looks, he's ranked #2 in arm-wrestling (#1 Jumbo, #3 Joseph). His theory: "lock-picking is the fingertips, ciphers the head, and the final pinch is brawn."
His diary is written in a cipher of his own making, unreadable by anyone but him. "It's not that I don't want it read. I don't want it solved."
With Neuman (No.019), genius to genius, he's one of the few he can hold a conversation with in code alone.
Catchphrase: "There's no lock that won't open. There are only forgotten passwords."

No.014 Luna 🐻 Bear

A priestess who reads the moon. The "dates" for the Grand Alliance's operations and deals all pass through Luna's lunar-phase calendar (→ see TMA-Religion, the lunar-phase faith).
Her public face is a priestess of the lunar-phase faith. A nocturnal bear who does not hibernate; on nights of the full moon…
There's a theory that the underworld's iron rule, "don't move big money on a new moon," originally spread from Luna's words 〔citation needed〕 (the new moon is "the Oracle's silence" — TMA-Lore-Deep §2.4).
She considers herself not a fortune-teller but a statistician. "The moon doesn't change your fortune. It only changes the mood of those who move. That's why it can be read."
She's secretly self-conscious about looking scary.
Catchphrase: "The more urgent the job, the more you look at the moon first."

No.022 Gordon 🦍 Gorilla

His public face is bodyguard to a company president, making use of his massive gorilla frame.
He swore loyalty after the "lady president" saved his life.
His hobby is strength training, and he's one of the most muscle-bound characters among the executives; he self-proclaims himself "No. 1" in the arm-wrestling rankings.
Catchphrase: "Muscle never betrays you."

No.023 Caserno 🐏 Sheep

The Grand Alliance's keeper of the safe-house network. Known as "the Warden of Sleep."
He alone manages the inventory and keys to every hideout, disguised inn, and bolt-hole scattered across the city. Only Caserno knows the whole of it, and he plays dumb — "half of it I've forgotten."
They say counting sheep helps you sleep; Caserno counts the number of guests he's hidden to fall asleep.
Gentle and quiet, no lover of conflict. But anyone who tries to make him cough up the location of a hideout will, without exception, learn "a way never to sleep lightly again" 〔details unknown〕.
The core of the "Night-Flit Trio" with Bonnie (No.007) and Rin (No.044). With Genji (No.033) he's a tea-drinking companion, out of fellow-feeling as the same species.
Catchphrase: "A guest who's slept well won't betray you."

No.024 Under 🐰 Rabbit — Navigator of the World

For details, see Under. Here we summarize only his dual standing within the world.

アンダーだけは、他の四十七名と扱いが違う。①大同盟の初代席次No.024として確かに記録に残っていながら、②「この世界の外を知っている」としか思えない言動が数多く証言されている。そして初代世代で唯一、現在（AE 121）のアニマリアでも目撃され続けている——百年前の肖像と寸分違わぬ姿で
In the game, on the website, and on Discord, he crosses the fourth wall to speak to you as a guide (tutorials, rules explanations, and world commentary are all delivered in Under's voice).
Within the world: a white-furred, red-eyed executive in a black suit. Calm and composed, never without humor. He's been spotted gathering information at Neon Crossroads.
Catchphrase: "Understood." "Leave it to me." "…Well, it's just a hunch of mine."

No.029 Samuele 🐵 Monkey

The Grand Alliance's back-alley doctor. His public face is a physician at a small, seedy clinic.
First-rate skill, a mouth like a safe, and a steep fee. But children are free (ask him why and he won't answer).
Belonging to no house, completely neutral. "The day a doctor picks up a flag, his patients dwindle" — members of all Five Families get carried in, and all Five leave Samuele's clinic alone, the one place they won't attack.
His way is to listen to a patient's life story while pulling out the bullet. "There's such a thing as a story that works better than anesthetic."
His dexterity is the finest among the executives. With Mukai (No.040) he's a drinking companion of the same species, stuck being the one who has to hear drunk Mukai's Kansai-dialect grumbling.
Catchphrase: "I'll pull the bullet. The grudge you pull out yourself."

No.044 Rin 🐕 Lycaon

The boss of the couriers. A lycaon — true to the name of "the dog that hunts in packs," a nighttime delivery network moves in a pack beneath her.
She knows inside out all three great smuggling routes — "fog, water, and the last train" (→ see TMA-Underworld) — the hidden queen of Animalia's logistics.
All she delivers is the cargo. She doesn't look at the contents, doesn't ask the circumstances, doesn't miss a deadline. By these three principles she won the trust of all Five Families.
The young ones of the pack adore her strangely, and she personally presides over the funerals of couriers.
When the "cargo arrives later" for someone Bonnie (No.007) has spirited away, that's Rin's work. The anchor leg of the Night-Flit Trio.
Catchphrase: "I'll take the cargo. I won't take the circumstances."

No.047 Sylphiel 🐱 Lynx

A perfumer and apothecary. Her public face is the owner of a small perfume shop.
With the finest sense of smell among the cats, she's said to sniff out "the scent of a lie" — the sweat of fear, the reapplied perfume of a bluff, the lingering smell of gunpowder.
Perfumery and poison-making are two sides of the same craft. The top shelf of Sylphiel's cabinet is perfume, the bottom shelf antidotes. Poison itself she holds to "can make, but won't."
The perfumes Nancy (No.016) chooses among are all Sylphiel's blends. She supplies medicinal herbs to Samuele (No.029)'s clinic.
Soft in manner and small of voice. But because she reads moods by smell, the executives tell no lies only when they are in front of Sylphiel.
Catchphrase: "Fragrance, you see, is the worst at lying."
