Hunter × Hunter

The original Jed was a toned, muscular man similar in build to Netero . He had light grey eyes and short white hair, which was blonde when he was younger. He appeared wearing a tight-fitting, short-sleeved black top, a dark vest, dark pants, dark boots, black fingerless gloves, and bandages on his forearms. In one memory of Netero's, Jed and Netero were seen wearing a matching white gi. When the original Jed used On , the whites of his eyes flashed dark, and his irises and pupils yellow. [1]

Jed's anime design

Jed's reincarnation was only ever seen with his On eyes. His reincarnated form appeared much younger than the original Jed was when he died and thinner and less muscular. Jed and his group often wore beige robes with hoods when together. Jed's outfit consisted of dark pants and dark boots, over which he wore a long, dark purple robe, gloves, and a dark red and gold pelerine. [1]
Both iterations of Jed wore a signature ring on the middle finger of their left hand. [1]

After seeing his people killed at the hands of Netero and seeing so many hardships because of the Hunters , Jed was consumed by his hate toward the Hunters and believed strongly that all Hunters were evil. After his reincarnation, the new Jed claimed to have lived a difficult life, made worse by the Hunter Association and the establishment they continued to uphold. He considered himself an oppressed individual. [1]
Netero described Jed as being a man completely blinded by rage, although this was due to his connection with On. In Netero's early memories of Jed, Jed acted rather amicably with Netero, despite being rivals. [1]
Even after being consumed by hate, Jed is shown to care about his comrades. Jed was very close to Shura , Rengoku , and Gaki , being the people who gave him a new life. After Gaki's death, Jed sobbed and claimed that Gaki was much more than a friend to him, considering him a blood brother instead. [1]

Jed crying after Gaki's death

However, despite considering the three of them like family, Jed essentially made Shura, Rengoku, and Gaki prisoners of his On when he formed his contract with them by giving them his blood, as described by Netero, and they all died as a result of his On. He ensured that they would give their lives to take down the Hunter Association , although they also agreed to those terms when they contracted with Jed. [1]
Jed was, in some instances, a reasonable man, and in others, not, depending on whether his situation had to do with his grudge. He told Gaki not to kill Leorio when they had the opportunity since it was unrelated to their mission at the time, and Jed's group did not seem to harm or interfere with any civilians or reporters outside of Heavens Arena even when dealing with them. However, when Jed was seen arguing with Netero about the Hunter Bylaws, Jed was only willing to consider arguments that supported his grudge, and didn't care about the points in the Bylaws that put him and his people in the wrong. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Johness was a tall and muscular man with unkempt short hair (brown in the 1999 anime adaptation and blond in the 2011 anime adaptation), alongside a mustache with sideburns. He had sunken eyes (grey in the 1999 anime adaptation and blue in the 2011 anime adaptation) with a long and slender nose. He wore typical inmate attire whilst in Trick Tower (fully navy blue in the 1999 anime adaptation and brown with olive green pants in the 2011 anime adaptation), while in a flashback of Johness' arrest, he was seen wearing a striped shirt over a T-shirt and trousers. [1]

Johness was a sadistic and psychotic man who had nothing but a greater pleasure than the feeling of bleeding flesh in his hands and hearing the screams of agony from his victims. However, once he experienced what he did to so many others, all he could do was plead for his life. Johness was also self-confident and conscious of his own power. When he faced Killua, he had no doubt that he was going to massacre him.
Murders were, for him, not a need, but a mere pleasure. He showed no sufferance from the abstinence from killing he was forced into by the imprisonment, but he was glad at the idea of being able to kill again. Conscious of the extent of his sentence (nearly a millennium), he had no interest in a reduction of his detention.


Hunter × Hunter

Kalluto has shoulder-length black hair (cut in bobcut style in the 2011 anime and Chimera Ant arc of the manga), and pink eyes. He has a mole on the left side of his mouth. His most commonly seen attire is a dark kimono ( furisode ), accompanied with a yellow obi tied around his waist, and zōri , a pair of Japanese sandals. During the Chimera Ant arc, Kalluto's kimono is black with white and violet edges. He has an overall feminine appearance, which has led him to be mistaken for a girl. [4] [5]
His spider tattoo has the number 4 on the spider's abdomen, [3] but the tattoo location has yet to be revealed.
When he was younger, he wore a sweater and pants like the rest of his siblings.

Kalluto has a silent and obedient personality, often seen doing what he is told. He is established to have a very good relationship with his mother . While he is very quiet, he has shown to be more talkative after joining the Spiders . He is also shown to be quite calm with good control of his feelings. Nonetheless, he proves during his fight against a Chimera Ant that, despite his calm demeanor, Kalluto has a brutal side and a bad habit of dragging out a fight in order to toy with his victims. [6] Kalluto also doesn't seem to care about killing innocent people, as he joined the Troupe, a notorious criminal group that even committed inhumane mass murder. [7]
Though Kalluto seems to be confident, he also displays a habit of questioning his skills and abilities when he feels that he is not good enough. Despite this, Kalluto possesses an inner resilience and determination, as seen when he reaffirms to himself that he is accustomed to enduring pain and hardship, then swears to get his brother back even when realizing his massive inferiority to other Phantom Troupe members. [8]

Kalluto being saved by Phinks

He seems to be quite loyal to his comrades as he offered to help Feitan in his fight against Zazan , but was rejected, he was also visibly distraught over the deaths of Shalnark and Kortopi , [9] and given that he was surprised with Illumi when he discloses that all the Spiders were in the Black Whale to Zodiac member, Mizaistom . [10] Despite not being a Meteor City resident, Kalluto was one of the Spiders who defended the city from the Chimera Ants. [11]
Kalluto is said to be envious of his older sister, Alluka , [12] for reasons that have yet to be revealed. He appears to obey and respect Illumi , as he often went on assassination works with him. [13] [8] Kalluto also seemed to be extremely frustrated at Gon, Leorio and Kurapika for breaking into the mountain, implying that Kalluto, like his mother and older brother, doesn't want Killua to leave, [14] and given that he joined the Spiders to retrieve one of his brothers. [8]


Hunter × Hunter

Ken'i is a tall, lean man with neatly combed, dark hair and a sharp jawline. He has thin, dark eyes and wears rectangular-framed glasses. In his first appearance, he wore a striped single-breasted suit over a white shirt and dark-colored tie with polka dots. [1]
When Ken'i confronts the Phantom Troupe he's dressed in a dark-colored suit colored and matching color tie. [2]

Ken'i is a calm individual who takes his responsibilities seriously. He is able to immediately give out precise orders to his underlings, upon receiving orders from their family boss. [1] However, he admits that he could be a bit impatient and that he hates slow work. Slow works prompt him to take action despite being asked to wait. Despite his impatience, he is easy to calm down again once the situation has been verified and even apologizes to those he accused wrongly. Still, he can identify threats that he deems he should eliminate as soon as possible. [2]


Hunter × Hunter

Kortopi was exceptionally short in stature. He had a thick and messy mane of blue/grey hair covering his entire head and obscuring everything except for his bulbous left eye. He also had a small mouth and a round head. He wore a light blue tunic, light blue pants beneath it, and black shoes. His large, round eyes were never seen closed. [3]
In the 1999 anime adaptation, Kortopi was taller, wore a white dress and had long brown feminine boots.
His spider tattoo had the number 12 on the spider's abdomen, but the tattoo location was never revealed.

Kortopi did not appear to be very talkative and was often seen agreeing with what other Spiders said. He was fiercely loyal to the "Spider" and to Chrollo , allowing him to borrow his Nen ability [4] and willing to fight Phinks and Feitan to ensure his survival. [5]
Kortopi had a good relationship with the other Spiders, as he celebrated their successful heist with Chrollo, [6] casually played chess with Shizuku , [7] and was deeply mourned by the other Troupe members after his death, with the Spiders now seeking revenge against Hisoka . [8]
The inhabitants of Meteor City are also stated to share remarkable bonds that have been described as "thinner than water, and yet thicker than blood". [9] This was also proven by the fact that the Phantom Troupe is a major asset in the defense of the city. [10]

Kortopi witnessing Squala's death apathetically

Like the other Troupe members, Kortopi is cold-blooded, ruthless, and not above inhumane mass murder. [11] He wasn't even fazed about the brutal deaths that the other Spiders caused, only caring about the lives of his teammates, as seen when he leads the Spiders to Squala , killing him in the process. [12]


Hunter × Hunter

Leol resembled a very large male lion with burnt orange skin with tiger stripes and a white mane. He was one of the few Chimera Ants that wore clothes: he wore sandals and a necklace adorned with a human skull, and he had paw print marks where his eyebrows were supposed to be.

Leol, for the most part, was a laid back and collected Chimera Ant. He did, however, have a cruel side to him. He, like many Chimera Ants, enjoyed killing humans and even remarked that killing them had been highly addictive. Leol was also socially proficient, which was displayed through the tactics he employed to gain other people's Nen abilities. He was one of the few Chimera Ants, who were not particularly loyal Squadron Leaders, that would kill more humans than they brought to the Queen. [2] Leol also didn't want anyone to know about his Nen ability , although he did show it to Bloster , Welfin , Hina , and Flutter ; however, he lied about how it actually worked. Aside from this, Leol could also be laid-back at times, as he did seem to genuinely enjoy listening to music. He also proclaimed himself to be an atheist before his fight against Morel.


Hunter × Hunter

Leroute is a beautiful and slender young woman who is short in stature. She has magenta eyes with noticeably long eyelashes and wild pink hair (brown in the 1999 series) which is tied with yellow ribbons in a big ponytail, leaving her two bangs untied.

Although she puts on a reasonable, even cheerful facade, Leroute is extremely manipulative. An expert gambler, she has a perfect poker face and is very perceptive.


Hunter × Hunter

Luini was described as a man of slim build in his twenties, between 185 and 190 cm tall, and with a large crescent-shaped scar on his left cheek. He has prominent teeth, a high brow, and fair, combed-back hair. [1] During his killing spree on the Black Whale , Luini disguised himself as a Kakin soldier. Afterwards, he switched into a tracksuit similar to what Phinks usually wears. [2]

Like his fellow Heil-Ly members, Luini had sadistic tendencies and no qualms about killing many people. He murdered 20 passengers in a short span of time and later killed a Mafia member as a "prank" for three members of the Phantom Troupe , whom he respected and described as his idols. Like his leader, Morena Prudo , he wanted to destroy the world. [1] Luini also had a loathing towards the upper class, hoping that he could work with the Troupe to wipe them out. [3]


Hunter × Hunter

Machi is a short, young woman with a petite build. She has blue eyes and pink, messy hair that reaches the middle of her back, but she most often wears it tied up. She is one of the few Troupe members that prefers to wear traditional Japanese-style clothing, looking like a modern-day kunoichi (female ninja ). Her usual outfit consists of short tights matched with a short-sleeved uwagi , an obi sash worn around her waist and an obijime tied over it, a pair of fingerless gloves with a pincushion, tabi boots or socks with zōri , and warmers that cover her lower legs.
Her spider tattoo has the number 3 on the spider's abdomen, [2] but the tattoo location has yet to be revealed.
In the 1999 anime adaptation, her eyes are brown and her hair is blue. Her hair is changed to dark purple during the OVAs.

Machi is one of the coldest members of Troupe, almost never losing her cool or displaying any emotions. However, according to Shalnark , she is a nice person at heart. [5] She has been shown to care for Pakunoda , as she was one of the members who mourned her death and watched over her grave. Her caring side was also shown when she was much younger as when Sarasa was brutally murdered; Machi hugged the bag Sarasa was put in tightly and told the group that they needed to take her home. [6] Furthermore, Machi is fiercely loyal to the "Spider" and to Chrollo , going so far as to challenge two other Troupe members for his sake. She also stated that she would hunt down Hisoka if he were to kill Chrollo. She is very confident in her strength and replies accordingly if threatened.

Machi watching over Pakunoda's grave

Machi also has sharp intuitions, which have turned out to be true most of the time and are trusted by some of her comrades, such as Nobunaga [7] and Chrollo. [8] Hisoka seems to have high regard for Machi and her abilities, [9] although she treats him as a nuisance at best and a potential enemy of Chrollo's at worst. However, she seemed to care for him to some extent after he died, and when he was revived, she merely told him that she hoped he had learned his lesson, although her job was to confirm his death. When Hisoka restrained her, she revealed a much wilder side, screaming in anger at him. [5]
The inhabitants of Meteor City are also stated to share remarkable bonds that have been described as "thinner than water, and yet thicker than blood". [10] This was also proven by the fact that the Phantom Troupe is a major asset in the defense of the city. [11]

Machi massacring Mafia members

Like the other members of the Troupe, Machi is also cold-blooded, ruthless, and not above inhumane mass murder, most notably when she brutally massacred the Kurta Clan alongside her teammates. The traps she made for the Mafiosi were particularly brutal, with her victims having their necks broken as they were squeezed by the wires. [12] The gruesome murder of their dear friend Sarasa and their thirst for revenge against the perpetrators have desensitized her to such atrocities. [6]


Hunter × Hunter

Maenole was a muscular Chimera Ant with an elongated head. He had four arms; two appeared more human-like, and the other two were smaller in size and more insect-esque. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Majtani is a large and muscular man with a blue skin tone (beige in the 1999 anime adaptation) the top of his head is bald and full of stitches and bandages over his forehead, but he has the rest of his hair (black in the 1999 anime adaptation and green in the 2011 anime adaptation) in a spiky fashion. His face has a zombie-like appearance due to unsuccessful plastic surgery.  As well a respirator connected in the place of his right ear, thorn left ear and two piercings under his lips. He wears only a pair of thorn pants from the Trick Tower prison uniform. [1]
He also had 9 hearts tattooed on his chest, and a spider tattoo on his back that is meant to evoke the ones used by the Phantom Troupe . [1]

Despite his strong-looking appearance, Majtani is a coward. He boasts of his strength and uses the fake Phantom Troupe tattoo on his back to intimidate others. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Like his namesake, Mantis has the appearance of an oversized mantis with long hair. He wears pant sleeves on both of his legs. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Matvere is a young man with large eyes, a small nose, and a perpetual grin. He has long bangs and wears a jacket with pants. [2]

Like his fellow Heil-Ly members, Matvere seems to have sadistic tendencies and no qualms about killing many people, even looking forward to it so that he can gain his abilities. He also repeatedly expresses a desire to be an Emitter . [2]


Hunter × Hunter

Menthuthuyoupi was the least humanoid of the King's Royal Guards, yet his physical appearance was loosely human. He had a bulk musculature and manly frame, but with irregularly shaped ears, animal-like legs with feet initially depicted to be claws of three digits which were later revised to two digits and of round toes (the 2011 anime adaptation only used the latter design), and razor-sharp teeth. He had dark red skin and short black hair slicked back on his head. Menthuthuyoupi had prominent facial bones and would constantly squint his eyes. He was the largest of the Royal Guards and scarcely clothed, only wearing a pair of skintight black pants. In the manga, Menthuthuyoupi was also briefly seen wearing a cape, which he would discard after the birth of the King and learning flight for the first time; [2] while in the 2011 anime adaptation, the cape was never shown.

Youpi shrinks in size

Whether it was his natural or Nen ability , or a combination of the two, Menthuthuyoupi could transform his body and had adopted various other forms beyond his default throughout his appearances. [3] Depending on the situations at hand, he had on occasions significantly altered his body mass and ratios, [4] grown wings, [2] given himself extra eyes, [5] granted himself additional limbs [6] and morphed them into tentacles, [7] burst spikes out of his body, [8] expanded into a lump of almost-unrecognizable mass that seemingly consisted entirely of faces, [4] [8] as well as achieving a centaur-like form. [3] After feeding most of his body mass to save Meruem , Menthuthuyoupi had greatly shrunk in size, becoming a vastly smaller version of his original form, with a pair of wings along with a rugby helmet. [9]

Menthuthuyoupi was the most straightforward of all the Royal Guards and possesses a strength that comes from his lack of an ego. He was a Chimera Ant without an iota of human genetic material within him, caring less about his identity as an individual. He was quick to cease unnecessary thought, focus on prioritized goals, and acted upon his instincts—allowing him to be completely selfless and devoted to the King. However, his simplicity was both a boon and a burden. His belligerent, vehement, capricious, and irascible nature made him a fine, yet a variable soldier. His naïvety contrasted the eccentricities of his fellow Royal Guards, much to Menthuthuyoupi's confusion. [10]
However, Menthuthuyoupi began to mature and change during his battle with the Hunters , Shoot , Morel , and Knuckle ; and he began to act selfishly which was contradictory to his nature. He began to rapidly "mature" during the battle, becoming a cunning strategist who uses his rage at the ideal moments. At the end of the battle, Menthuthuyoupi had matured to the point where he reached his "Rage Incarnate" form and was even "thankful" to the Hunters in helping him achieve this form. Because of this, he gained a level of mercy towards others and spared the life of enemies which he would have killed in the first place without a second thought. Thus, Knuckle lost the drive to fight him since he could no longer see Menthuthuyoupi as a villain.
Like Shaiapouf, Menthuthuyoupi was not fond of Komugi, although he did not possess the same burning hatred for her as Shaiapouf did. He was perfectly willing to kill her if her existence proved to be a burden to the king, and when Meruem lost his memories, he agreed not to tell him about Komugi to preserve the bond they had created with Meruem.


Hunter × Hunter

Meruem had a rather humanoid build for an Ant. He was muscular and toned, despite his relatively small frame as compared to his servants. He had two long antennae on his ears resembling long earlobes and a large shell-like armor over his head that resembled a helmet. There were dark pigmented areas on his arms, legs, chest, and head. Meruem was always barefoot. He possessed a powerful tail equipped with a stinger that served as his weapon. Both his hands and feet had only four digits each.

Meruem was initially a heartless warrior, respecting people only through their abilities to endure combat with him, but would eventually grow to be a kind and compassionate pacifist, valuing time spent with those he cared for over even his pride. Throughout the arc, Meruem would struggle and display signs of humanity in contrast to his biological birth as a Chimera Ant.
Meruem was born a cruel and violent leader. The Queen's intention to give birth to a perfect offspring was reflected in Meruem's haughty mentality. Within the womb, he would disregard his mother's concern for his development and tear through her abdomen, forcing his own birth. He felt no concern for his dying mother or other ants, killing and cannibalizing several Chimera Ants who had chosen to attend to the Queen's injuries instead of attending to him. [2] [3] Neferpitou would be the first person to gain Meruem's attack, after being able to withstand an attack that Meruem intended to kill with without defending themself. He showed no empathy towards humans and viewed them as nothing other than a food source, killing and devouring a child not long after his birth. [4]
Meruem would eventually gain some respect for a human girl named Komugi , which subsequently evolved into deep care for her. With this change in heart, Meruem started to question the differences between Ants and mankind and battled with his identity as half-human and half-insect, questioning the nature of violence and strength as true power. After his interactions with Komugi and his fight against Netero, Meruem began to see humans as incredible beings with immense potential through their tenacity in breaking their own limits. He showed great respect and complete admiration for Netero, viewing his abilities and fighting style as truly magnificent, and constantly praised him throughout their battle, referring him as a rare example of a human who has transcended his limitations and the very pinnacle of human capabilities. Because of this change in perspective, Meruem no longer considered farming humans for food and instead suggested the co-existence of humans and Ants, with humans being selected and controlled for quality.

Meruem begins to care for Komugi

Meruem's defining traits were his pride and self-confidence. From his birth to his death, Meruem exhibited strong confidence in himself and conviction in his actions. He insisted on proving his intellectual capabilities to himself by defeating the champions of various boardgames at their own games shortly after learning their rules. However, after losing several games of against Komugi, he displayed his first sign of human emotion, trying to scare and distract her during a game of Gungi by threatening to tear her arm off if she lost. Komugi would manage to exceed his expectations and respond with such respect for him and the game that Meruem would tear off his own arm in apology for his impudence and disrespect towards her and the game.
He viewed certain concepts of human society as absurd. Such examples were when Shaiapouf explained how certain people could become rulers through connections or bloodlines instead of power, something which Meruem viewed as defying all-natural logic. When he gained an understanding of the unfairness of human society, where children starve while pathetic weaklings have everything they need, he wanted to destroy this madness and create a new world where the concept of inequality would be completely forgotten. Furthermore, he came to believe the true purpose of power is to protect the weak who deserve to live, not to torment the defeated.
He was quite adept and learned things at an astonishing rate, being capable of mastering any form seen of board games in just ten matches and defeated world champions with ease. After a brief loss of memory he seemed to become much more respectful and closer to his subordinates after being fed a part of them when he was dying, as he could feel things they can feel, and tell easily if they were hiding something or not from him; at the same time he could sense their loyalty to him, causing him to put their loyalty to the test before considering to punish them, even more so if they answered truthfully despite doing so may inquire admitting to a miscalculation. The sense of loyalty he felt from them was strong enough for Meruem that it prevented him from killing both Pouf and Youpi for lying to him, despite previously telling them not to lie to him.

Meruem becomes fearful after Netero commits suicide to detonate the Miniature Rose

Despite his extreme arrogance and superiority complex, he felt fear for the first time as Netero prepared to detonate the Poor Man's Rose and unleashed a frighteningly malevolent aura and supreme confidence despite being on the verge of death. Moments before he succumbed to the poison, he admitted to Palm Siberia that humanity had won and he was willing to accept his defeat. His desire to fulfill his last wish was so strong that he was willing to kneel before Palm.


Hunter × Hunter

Montblanc is a young girl with rosy cheeks and a small nose. She wears pigtails made from black fabric.

Montblanc seemed nervous in her initial appearance as she blushed when having to kiss Morena , [2] but she is cheerful and easygoing as she works with Chiffon to dispose of corpses for the family. Like her fellow Heil-Ly members, she seems to have sadistic tendencies and no qualms about killing people. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Morena is a slender woman with a heart-shaped face. She has long, fair hair (depicted as a dark blue in color on the cover of Chapter 401 ) [1] , with long locks that descend past the small of her back, whereas the shortest ones curl upwards after reaching her collarbone. Her left ear is covered in roughly 16 piercings running from her helix to her earlobe, all fitted with simple small hoop earrings. Her most prominent trait is a mark of her social status as a Second-Track Faker : two parallel scars running from the center of her forehead, across her left eye, ending at the left of her mouth. In her first appearance, she wore a dark, tight, long-sleeved shoulder-less dress, black boots, and a crown of thorns. [2]

As a result of being scarred and cast out, Morena developed a profoundly destructive behavior. She takes no interest in the succession contest, the world at large, or even her own life. Her only goal is to destroy a world she perceives as unjust and utterly disgusting, which she wishes to accomplish through indiscriminate carnage. Nonetheless, she is thankful for her scar, as she believes that without it, she would not have found her balance and will to live. She also expressed gratitude for her devoted followers, whom she ordered to kill each other until twenty-two remained. She is always seen with a faint smile on her face and appears to make many pauses while speaking. [2]


Hunter × Hunter

Moritonio was a moderately tall man with long hair, a mustache, and a goatee. Before meeting Hisoka and for a period afterward, he wore glasses with small, round lenses and a thick frame, an overcoat over a shirt, light-colored gloves, knee-high boots, and a tall magician's hat. He occasionally used a walking stick. At the time of the troupe's exhibition at the Royal Glam Hotel , his mustache and goatee became thicker. He also changed his attire slightly, wearing glasses with larger lenses and a thinner frame, and a shorter hat. [1]
As John Doe, he would modify his face with one of his Nen abilities by covering it with a handkerchief decorated with small hearts. He would change and use a new face for every murder he committed. When he was seen by Hisoka and Abaki , he looked like a horse-faced man with a big nose, round, blank eyes with black irises, and dark hair slicked to the side. [1]

Moritonio was generally composed and level-headed. He had a kind side, nursing Hisoka when he was injured and accepting him into the troupe without asking anything in return. After taking the Hunter Exam , his spirit was crushed by the sheer superiority of an applicant. He started nurturing talents in the hope that his disciples would succeed where he failed, and he was always ready to acknowledge a person's skills. He performed out of his love for the expressions of amazement and surprise of the audience. However, the shows proved inadequate in quenching his thirst and caused a void in him which he believed could only be filled through murder. As John Doe, his signature method of murder was crushing his victims to death through Nen . He also enjoyed letting cameras capture his face, due to his capacity to change his appearance. Against a worthy opponent, he liked to partially reveal his Nen abilities. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Mosquito was a Chimera Ant that resembled a humanoid mosquito with mannequin-like articulations like most of the Chimera Ants. She had insect-like wings, arms that were as long as her legs and insect-like hands and feet. She had short dirty blonde hair and large breasts. She wore a brown low-cut brassiere, a short skirt to hide her extendable tail from her enemies, and a dust mask to hide her mouth's stinger.

Mosquito was cruel and sadistic. However, she met her death with impressive acceptance, blaming her own weakness.


Hunter × Hunter

Neferpitou had the appearance of a humanoid cat with wavy white hair. Their cat-like ears and tail were covered with yellow and white fur, respectively. They had ruby-red eyes, and their knees had demarcated joints like insect legs. Neferpitou's hands were slightly larger than an average human hand. Their clothes were a blue overcoat with six yellow buttons and cuff links, shorts and orange socks with thin black stripes, and a pair of blue shoes.

Neferpitou was very loyal to the King and would sacrifice themself for him. Of the three Royal Guards, Pitou was the most curious and would get distracted easily and loved to play, and according to Shaiapouf, would get carried away when having fun. [2] Pitou was a cat Chimera Ant, and like a cat, loved to play with their opponents like a cat would with their prey. Despite their cheerful and playful manner though, Pitou had a cruel and terrifying personality as well. Pitou also took their duty to protect the King seriously and was willing to sacrifice their chance to fight strong opponents to fulfill their duty.
Unlike Menthuthuyoupi and Shaiapouf, Neferpitou did not seem to mind Meruem's later newfound interests in Komugi . Thus, among the three Royal Guards, Neferpitou was the only one that greatly prioritized Komugi's safety as opposed to Menthuthuyoupi and Shaiapouf's hatred towards Komugi, something Neferpitou was aware of which created distrust in regards to the matter, for making their king deviate from the path they envisioned for him.

Pitou protects Komugi

Pitou's loyalty and devotion to the King were so great, that during Komugi's operation to save her life from the injuries caused by Zeno's Dragon Dive , Pitou showed their vulnerability and fear since they had no means to defend themself from Gon's wrath for what they had done to Kite. As a result, for the first time, Pitou surrendered to Gon and Killua. They asked them for mercy with no consideration of fighting them by putting their hands upward—a signal that predators use to surrender—to show a lack of malice in order to fulfill the King's order to save Komugi. When surrendering, they expressed their true affection for the king, understanding that Komugi helped Meruem become the individual he was now, and if Komugi was killed, Meruem would cease to be who he was now. Even after their death, Pitou's Nen still remained; their Terpsichora , even stronger than before, manipulated their corpse to attack Gon to protect the King.
Despite their intense loyalty to the King, that loyalty did not extend whatsoever towards the Queen. While Pitou did initially support the Queen and was willing to help feed her, this was only done out of the desire to help the King be born. This loyalty immediately faded once he was born, and even though Pitou could have healed the Queen with Doctor Blythe , they simply said now that the King was born, the Queen was of no use anymore. Pitou went so far as to call the Queen a "thing", demonstrating little respect for their progenitress. However, they did have cordial relationships with some of the other Chimera Ants such as Peggy, Colt, and Rammot, and was not very strict with them despite being their superior.


Hunter × Hunter

Nino is a young man with a slight tan, blonde hair, and brown eyes. His build is fairly thin. He is implied to be the youngest Heavenly King. He wears a blue sailor uniform.

When first met by Gon, Nino acts fairly clueless about Whale Island. He pretends to be naive and easily confused. However, when it's revealed he helped kidnap the islanders, he portrays himself as stubborn and overly aggressive, threatening to beat Gon to death at one point. He also doesn't value anyone besides himself and his fellow Heavenly Kings.


Hunter × Hunter

Nobunaga usually wears a classic Japanese-style robe and short pants, while his midsection is wrapped in a sarashi (with wrappings also around his lower legs). He has long black hair that he ties into a single topknot. He also has a pencil moustache and a small patch of hair on his chin. His sword almost never leaves his side.
His spider tattoo has the number 1 on the spider's abdomen, [5] but the tattoo location has yet to be revealed.
He is mostly seen with a sullen and cold facial expression. During his youth days in Meteor City, it is brighter and happier.

Nobunaga is typically calm, but can be brash and get into conflicts with the other Troupe members. While he demonstrates good fighting speed and capacity for reason, he does seem to struggle with impromptu decision-making. This is first seen when Owl traps the car the Troupe members were riding in; every occupant of the car was able to escape except for Nobunaga. However, this was mostly due to the fact that he was sitting in the middle back seat and had the worst position. [7] Furthermore, when Gon and Killua announce their plan to attack him together, Nobunaga activates his En and prepares himself for the attack instead of pursuing either of the boys, ultimately giving them the chance to escape. [8]

Nobunaga trying to befriend Gon and Killua

Nobunaga is one of the friendlier members of the Troupe. He frequently smiles at the sight of Gon and Killua, asking them to be friends and even asking Chrollo to make them Troupe members. This is especially the case for Gon since he has the same Nen type , and attitude as Nobunaga's late best friend, Uvogin . [9] [10] During his youth in Meteor City, it is shown that he is a happy and friendly person. He enjoys dubbing Mighty Morphin' Power Cleaners and had a good time rehearsing with his fellow Troupe members. He is also less inclined towards arguments and violence during this time, unlike his present-day self, who will not hesitate when a situation calls for it, showing better control of his emotions and self-restraint. This can be seen when Uvogin, Machi, Phinks, and Feitan confront Chrollo after the show; he simply watches and remains silent. [11] When Uvogin becomes violent towards Chrollo following the discovery of Sarasa's dead body, he reacts just the same. He shows a genuine concern upon the discovery of Sarasa's mangled body, being the first to inquire Chrollo about it. [12]
He is extremely loyal to the "Spider" and to Chrollo , which he showed when he was willing to fight Phinks to prevent him from going after Pakunoda . [13] Like the other members of the Troupe, Nobunaga is also cold-blooded, ruthless, and not above inhuman mass murder, most notably when he brutally massacred the Kurta Clan alongside his teammates. The gruesome murder of their dear friend Sarasa and their thirst for revenge against the perpetrators have desensitized him to such atrocities. [12]
The inhabitants of Meteor City are also stated to share remarkable bonds that have been described as "thinner than water, and yet thicker than blood". [14] This was also proven by the fact that the Phantom Troupe is a major asset in the defense of the city. [15]

Nobunaga threatening Gon and Killua

Nobunaga hates when hostages speak without permission, and will coldly warn them against it at least twice. He tells them to answer all the questions truthfully whenever they are under interrogation by any members of the Troupe. In such a situation, Nobunaga warned Killua that if he spoke without permission, he would kill him. [16] He is willing to kill hostages swiftly and unhesitatingly if they don’t follow his repeated warnings, as he did to Squala . [17]
Despite being a samurai, Nobunaga doesn't seem to adhere much to the code of Bushido , since he uses a chained katana to allow him to strike from a distance. This is even pointed out by an incredulous Yokotani . [18]


Hunter × Hunter

Notre is a shorter man with black hair and noticeable sideburns. He has a large nose and bushy eyebrows.

Notre is intelligent and observant, memorizing the intricate layout of the Heil-Ly's hideout. He also has a good rapport with Soufflé , worried about her safety and wondering what she would do without him. [2] Like his fellow Heil-Ly members, Notre seems to have sadistic tendencies and no qualms about killing many people.


Hunter × Hunter

Omokage's appearance was pretty archaic Gothic. He had long, flowing silver hair and turquoise eyes. He wore a piercing in his lower lip, eyebrow, and ears. Omokage's clothing was reminiscent of the Kurta's in design, although not identical as it was much darker. He wore dark-colored pants, a dark cape with white patterns over a long black top, and black shoes.
His spider tattoo was located on the palm of his right hand, with the number 4 on the spider's abdomen.

Omokage was depicted as a cold, twisted man with the sole desire of making puppets out of people. However, despite killing and making a puppet out of his younger sister Retz , he still cared for her to some degree, and would become angry and distressed at the insinuation that his sister was sad with her life as a puppet. He claimed his love of puppets was sparked by his sister.
He believed that life only had meaning if it was eternal, and thought of humans as they were to be rotten and imperfect. He often remarked on the beauty of his puppets, and claimed to take pleasure in creating combinations of different types of people and eyes, like matching Kurapika's eyes with Pairo's body and Gon's eyes with Illumi.
He also had a superiority complex, as he called other people "humans," and himself the "Divine Puppeteer." Omokage was also obsessed with creating and witnessing tragedy in different ways, especially through his puppets. He even stated that the Kurta Clan massacre was an incredible day, and that he loved killing them. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Onior is a corpulent man with prominent wrinkles in his cheeks, small eyebrows and a tuft of fair hair sticking out at the top of his head. Two long, parallel scars run horizontally across his forehead. Overall, he bears a strong resemblance to his half-brother, Nasubi. [1]

Onior regards life, resources, and power as a struggle for supremacy, in which the few haves must protect themselves from a majority of have-nots, an order that he considers a form of balance, which he thus prioritizes. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Orarge has distinctive black marks below his eyes and at the corners of his mouth and distinctive eyebrows. [1] He has long hair tied in a ponytail and wears a bandana with an intricate design. He is seen wearing a black shirt with a patterned vest and striped pants. [2]

Orarge appears to be an obedient Heil-Ly member. He made sure to ask Yokotani a question regarding the law [3] and chastised Perigord for forgetting Morena 's instructions. [2] Like his fellow Heil-Ly members, he seems to have sadistic tendencies and no qualms about killing people.


Hunter × Hunter

They were humanoids and had features of aquatic animals. Both of them had scales covering their legs as well as webbed feet. Scales also covered the older brother's arms while the sister's arms were left bare; though in the 2011 anime adaptation, there is no such distinction and both of them had scales covering their arms.

The brother was quite sadistic, wondering why Killua wasn't screaming, [2] and expressing that he wanted Killua to die in fear. [3] The sister was very trusting of her brother, and was proud of his abilities. They both loved each other very much and their confidence spawned from it. [2] However, once defeated and decapitated by Killua, they lost all respect for each other and began bickering. [4]


Hunter × Hunter

Padaille has sunken cheeks and a large nose. He has long bangs that reach his eyes and wears a plain long-sleeved shirt with pants. [1]

Padaille is a sadistic and homicidal man who craves killing and seems to care little about anything else. He is utterly loyal to Morena , as her ability allows him to satisfy his urges. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Pakunoda was a tall, slender woman with long, pointed features. She had short, straight, blonde hair reaching down to her neck. Her most prominent feature was her aquiline nose . Most of the time, she had an apathetic look on her face. In her youth, she had shorter hair and her facial expression was kinder and happier. Her attire comprised a dark purple suit, which exposed much of her cleavage, and a pair of flat, pink shoes.
Her spider tattoo had the number 9 or 6 on the spider's abdomen, but the tattoo location was never revealed.

Pakunoda exuded an air of self-confidence that could be intimidating to others. She was completely loyal to Chrollo . She even went against the Troupe, and Chrollo's own saying that the group's survival comes before the survival of the individual (including the leader), to rescue him. Pakunoda was very loyal to the Spider as well, sacrificing herself so that her comrades could know about Kurapika 's abilities . Like the other members of the Troupe, she did not care at all about those who did not belong to the group. Two notable exceptions were Gon and Killua . She was impressed by their refusal to escape so that the deal between the Troupe and Kurapika could be made with no further bloodshed.

Pakunoda unfazed while killing

Like the other Spiders, Pakunoda was also cold-blooded, ruthless, and not above inhumane mass murder, most notably when she brutally massacred the Kurta Clan alongside her teammates. Her crueler side was also shown when she tortured and provoked Squala by talking about his personal life, likely knowing and expecting him to react in a way that would trigger his death at Nobunaga ’s hands. [5] The gruesome murder of their dear friend Sarasa and their thirst for revenge against the perpetrators have desensitized her to such atrocities. [6]
The inhabitants of Meteor City are also stated to share remarkable bonds that have been described as "thinner than water, and yet thicker than blood". [7] This was also proven by the fact that the Phantom Troupe is a major asset in the defense of the city. [8]
In her younger days, she is shown to be kind and caring towards her friends. [9]


Hunter × Hunter

Pariston has medium-length, dark blond hair and brown eyes. He is known for his wide, cheerful smile. Unlike many of the other members of the Zodiacs, he does not change his appearance to look like the animal that he represents. Instead, Pariston is always seen wearing luxurious suits and ties.

According to Ging , Pariston's personality is similar to Netero's and his own in that he likes to play around and enjoy himself, uninterested in winning or losing, which makes him very unpredictable. He always appears cheerful with a bright smile, making it quite impossible to read his thoughts and calculate his motives. This alone infuriates the Zodiacs, mostly Cheadle , Kanzai , and Cluck . He is extremely sly and gets pleasure from destroying what he loves most. Simultaneously, he is infuriated by and enjoys a rivalry with Ging; Pariston has rarely hated anyone, though he does awful things to them, and is curious to see what he would do to someone he hates, with Ging currently occupying that position. He has a preference for harsh punishments for anyone who does him wrong. [3] [4]
He tends to treat serious situations as mere games, such as the elections for the 13 th chairman. When he wins the chairman position, he casually hands it to Cheadle and resigns. He has also 5,000 cocooned Chimera Ants for his private playground.
Due to his extreme unpredictability, slyness, shadiness, and tendency to test anyone's patience and temper, he is disliked by all of the Zodiacs and many Hunters in the Association, even more than Ging. Even Morel states that he would rather die than vote for a slew rat-like Pariston. It is also shown that Netero also cannot stand him and often gets into a lot of arguments with him, but he tolerates Pariston's presence because he believes that a yes-man second-in-command is too boring for him.


Hunter × Hunter

Peggy resembled a crested penguin with white hair found along with the sideburns of his face, eyebrows, and ponytail, a yellow-shaped mark on his forehead with 5 black dots that vaguely resembled an insect. He wore a yellow turtleneck shirt that ran across his neck down to his chest, a black coat with maroon four-fingered hands that remain vaguely hidden within his coat which would resemble the flippers of a penguin, and short brown pants.

He was likely the most knowledgeable among the Squadron Leaders, having spent his time reading and deducing the weapons the humans used were guns, among other things. He was also very concerned about the Queen's wellbeing, rushing to her when she was visibly wounded. [2]


Hunter × Hunter

Pell has durable light blue skin, an outside dark blue membrane on his back, and four long spiky arms with two long sharp claws, two spiky legs, two claws, and a yellow nose. He has turquoise-colored eyes, a round-shaped head, the body shape of a ladybug, and two canine-like teeth.


Hunter × Hunter

Perigord is a tall man with a chubby face and a prominent nose. His hair parts in the middle, and his bangs reach his eyes. He wears pants and a long-sleeved shirt that reveals some of his chest.

Perigord has a calm demeanor, continuing to eat his food after kicking Lynch in the midsection. He seems to be practical and capable of formulating plans to ambush the Xi-Yu members, [2] and laments the loss of Luini 's useful ability . [3] Like his fellow Heil-Ly members, he seems to have sadistic tendencies and no qualms about killing many people.


Hunter × Hunter

Phinks has blond hair (dark brown in the 1999 anime adaptation) and black eyes. He is fairly tall and muscular. His most distinguishing features are his piercing eyes and lack of eyebrows.
When he is first introduced, Phinks wears an outfit similar to a modern pharaoh , with a golden, snake-like ( Uraeus ) headpiece ( nemes ), white long-sleeved tunic, and a necklace. However, he is most often seen wearing a tracksuit.
His spider tattoo has the number 5 on the spider's abdomen, [2] but the tattoo location has yet to be revealed.

Phinks is short-tempered and rather ruthless. He can be brash and has a tendency to get into conflicts with other people, including his comrades. Phinks seems to get along with Feitan the most and is often seen partnering with him, both in and out of combat. He is very loyal to Chrollo and to the "Spider", as shown when he was the first to try to go after Kurapika after Chrollo was captured, despite the objections of other members.
Like the other members of the Troupe, Phinks is also cold-blooded, ruthless, and not above inhumane mass murder, most notably when he brutally massacred the Kurta Clan alongside his teammates. He also killed multiple innocent Greed Island players for a contest with Feitan, [5] showcasing his cruel personality. The gruesome murder of their dear friend Sarasa and thirst for revenge against the perpetrators have desensitized him to such atrocities. [6]

Phinks letting Shizuku wear his outfit

While he can be short-tempered, he also has good relationships with his fellow Spiders. He showed himself to be melancholic during and after Pakunoda's death, especially when he sadly informed Gon and Killua about her demise and that she wanted to thank them. [7] He also seemed to develop a bond with the Troupe’s newest member at the time, Kalluto Zoldyck , helping him understand how the Troupe usually works (e.g., splitting up to hide their abilities from others, refusing to help others if a competition is involved), going as far as to save him from Feitan's rising sun when the young assassin was too slow to outrun it. When Shizuku appears with her clothes destroyed, Phinks is surprised and is the first one to comment, asking if she aims for a new look. Later, he lends his robes to her, showing his gentlemanly side. [8]

Phinks protecting his hometown

The inhabitants of Meteor City are also stated to share remarkable bonds that have been described as "thinner than water, and yet thicker than blood". [9] This was also proven by the fact that the Phantom Troupe is a major asset in the defense of the city. Phinks was also one of the Spiders who defended the city from the Chimera Ants. [10] He encourages the disfigured Meteor City natives to fight, saying that they needed to die with glory. [8]
In his youth, Phinks was shown to be more aggressive and coercive. [11] However, Sarasa notes that despite his rough attitude, he has a kind heart. [12]


Hunter × Hunter

Pig has the appearance of a large bipedal pig. He is seen wearing a chef's uniform, hat, and apron. [1]

Not much is known about Pig's personality, though he was loyal and obedient towards the Chimera Ant Queen [1] and, once later, to the newly born Neferpitou ; [2] even though the work he does for them was arduous and stressful. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Pike looked like a giant spider; he had eight legs, four of which had human hands. He had the face of an old man with high cheekbones and white hair. He also had a marking that resembles a spider web on his forehead.

Pike was shown to be simple-minded and poor in tactics. [2] He loved being complimented by Zazan and was extremely loyal towards her. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Quorolle is a young man with small, dark eyes and a small nose. His hair parts in the middle and falls over his ears. He wears a high-collar jacket that reveals some of his chest, pants, and boots. [2]

Quorolle seems to be more cautious than his fellow Heil-Ly members, Tevelares and Padaille , recognizing Hinrigh 's Nen . Like his fellow members, he has sadistic tendencies and no qualms about killing many people. [2]


Hunter × Hunter

Rammot was a Chimera Ant mixed with the genes of a human, a rabbit, and a shrike. He appeared to look like a thick-thighed humanoid rabbit with feathers on his arms and large feet. Rammot also had two thin whiskers, long hair, a dark spot on his left eye, and wore a thong.

Rammot was a cruel sadist. He killed not just to feed, but because he delighted in the agony of his victims. Despite his initial proposition to kill him slowly, [1] when Killua started to cry during their fight, he enjoyed the scene so much that he could no longer wait and decided to deal the finishing blow. He was also vengeful and quick-tempered, attacking Kite's party because he thought they were trying to steal his prey. After nearly dying at the hands of Gon and Killua, he began to harbor a strong hatred towards them, wishing to kill them and then feed on them despite this going against his orders. [2] In fact, unlike most soldier Chimera Ants, Rammot was very self-centered, obeying his superiors only because he was afraid of them. After his aura nodes were opened, he became extremely egotistical and planned to use his power to become the king, but the appearance of Neferpitou put an end to his short-lived ambition. [3]


Hunter × Hunter

Remora has the appearance of a small yellow lizard. He has a tail fin similar to a fish and what appears to be a shell on his back—but could be a sucker-like organ/membrane.


Hunter × Hunter

Hunter × Hunter

Riehlvelt is a man of average size, he has purple spiky hair and often wears a yellow colored head gear. Due to becoming paralyzed from his "initiation", he is seen moving around in a large big wheeled motorized wheelchair.

Riehlvelt has a ruthless personality, resorting even to kidnapping and blackmailing to get his way. He is intent on becoming a Floor Master in order to live off the money and fame of the rank despite lacking the necessary strength, for which reason he only fights opponents weaker than himself. He was nonetheless brave enough to face Killua in combat despite the ease with which the former assassin threatened him. He seems to have a sadistic side as well, bursting into laughter when electrocuting his opponent. However, when faced with the prospect of being electrocuted, he passed out from the fear of it.


Hunter × Hunter

Rorgo is a well-built man with a tan complexion. His most notable characteristic is his blonde and red hair bearing a ponytail at the back. A mustache can be seen on his lip. Clothing-wise, his outfit consists of white martial arts attire and a red belt. [1]

Rorgo is a man interested in the Scarlet Eyes. He is described as an 'Eyeball Collector' and kidnapped Clario after mistaking her for Kurapika. When in public, he puts on a formal facade. However, he is a cruel mafioso who easily bypasses the law. He also desires to fight Kurapika alone, refusing to kill him when Tron and Izunavi get involved. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Sabaki is a young man with a tan complexion, blonde hair, and blue eyes. He is about average height and weight. His clothing comprises a short-sleeved orange jacket with white segments, an orange bandana, a blue undershirt, black gloves, and blue jeans. [1]

Sabaki is an impulsive young individual. He lets his emotions get the best of him and can occasionally be rash. He also has a deep hatred for hunters due to his father. However, he is also clever enough to destroy the Dragon Vein Zegin was using and to utilize an ability that rids Nen users of their aura [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Sadaso is a tall man with slanted eyes, thin lips, a pale complexion and a face similar to a mask. His hair is green in the 1999 anime and white in the 2011 anime.

When he leaves the Heavens Arena after Killua's threat, he is wearing sunglasses/goggles for the first time and his face looks less pale than before (just in the anime).

Sadaso is ruthless in his ambition, even resorting to kidnapping and blackmailing to get his way. He is intent on becoming a Floor Master in order to live off the money and fame of the rank despite lacking the necessary strength, for which reason he only fights opponents weaker than himself. He often speaks in a taunting or even threatening manner. When he was intimidated by Killua, however, he decided to leave the Heavens Arena forever.


Hunter × Hunter

Saiyu is a lanky man with a very short haircut, protuberant ears, and a monkey-like face. Part of the hair at the back and on the top of his head was shaved to form two small heart shapes. He wears a headband, most likely a reference to the magical headband of the Monkey King Sun Wukong from the Chinese classic " Journey to the West ", as well as a pair of long wristbands, a sleeveless jacket short enough to show his six-pack abs and, on the front of which is the kanji symbol for monkey (申). Near each shoulder is the symbol of a crescent and a 5-pointed star which together may represent "being towards a bright future" and " the five pillars of Islam ", these being symbols present on the flags of some Muslim countries. His outfit is completed by a pair of calf-length trousers with orange spirals on the knees and a fake tail on the back and kung fu shoes.

Saiyu is characterized by directness in manner and speech, without subtlety or evasion. He is not afraid of saying unkind or rude things about two powerful fellow Zodiac members like Ging and Pariston while publicly challenging the former.


Hunter × Hunter

According to locals, he is a greed-stricken hunter who is hard to track down. In truth, Sansho is a fake Hunter who scams others. He is also someone who can rarely be trusted thanks to his ties with Rorgo and the other Heavenly Kings. When Kurapika is about to give his license to him, he promptly stops himself, which causes Sansho to fight him. When he feels his opponent is out of his league in battle, he will back away when approached, which can make defeating him through a ring out simple. He will also resort to backhanded methods to win. This includes resorting to firearms or using Donal 's clones.


Hunter × Hunter

Sedokan is a petite man with long, brown hair that covers his left eye. He often seems relaxed since he is often seen with a calm expression. He dresses in the standard clothing given to all the prisoners in Trick Tower. [1]

Sedokan stated that he's not good at physical activities such as fighting. He also seems to be cautious, as he prepared four candles before his match against Gon . [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Unlike the other Royal Guards, Shaiapouf bore a more human resemblance. He looked like a young adult, with a tall and lanky frame, thistle purple skin, and short dark blond hair, covering up his forehead and ears. The only insect parts that Pouf had were his multi-colored butterfly wings and antennae. He wore a frilly white shirt, black pants and a pair of black shoes.

Shaiapouf posited himself as the calmest and rational of the three Royal Guards, often speaking about the importance of logic and reasoning, more than his emotions. However, his intense devotion to the Chimera Ant King clouded his judgment. He held a preconceived absolute ideal to live up to, with no room for amendment. Pouf also held the King to a similarly impossible ideal, manifesting in mad fanatical monologues and treacherous action when it appeared that his lord was being led astray. He was often seen reading books and playing his violin; he usually played this instrument while talking or whenever he was agitated. [5]
Shaiapouf vehemently loathed Komugi . He believed the woman to be holding back the King from his supposed right to world domination, as the pinnacle of evolution. A master of psychological games and subterfuge, Shaiapouf was willing to deceive, betray, and murder anyone in order to preserve his image to the King.
In crises involving the Chimera Ant King, Pouf forsook delegated duty and acted solely according to the sway of his emotions. Shaiapouf was indeed the most irrational of the three Royal Guards; manic and demented by his magnification and love for the King. In the end, Shaiapouf became loyal only to his "version" of the King, not Meruem himself, and would always try to change the King to that version while getting privately enraged when it did not happen. Of the three Guards, Pouf was the only one genuinely disloyal to the King himself and grew the least out of the three.
Even though he had absolute love and devotion towards the King, he still held Neferpitou and Menthuthuyoupi rather close. He was pleased to know that Menthuthuyoupi had the same negative sentiment towards Komugi. Upon seeing Menthuthuyoupi's dead body, Shaiapouf was left in shock and mourning for his fellow comrade and was in a frantic state of mind when trying to look for Neferpitou, demonstrating the bond he shared with them.


Hunter × Hunter

Shalnark was a young man with blond hair and bright green eyes. He was tall, lean, and muscular. In the 2011 anime adaptation, Shalnark wore a lavender suit; however, in the 1999 anime adaptation, He wore a dark red outfit and had copper hair.
His spider tattoo had the number 6 or 9 on the spider's abdomen, but the tattoo location was never revealed.

Shalnark was cheerful and highly intelligent, thought quickly on his feet, and was polite and level-headed. He often attempted to be the voice of reason to calm the other members during tense situations. [7] He was fond of electronics and considered those he controlled with his phone to be puppets. [8] He expressed a dislike for his "autopilot mode" because he couldn’t remember or feel any satisfaction for his actions. [9]

Shalnark killing with a smile

While Shalnark got along with everyone in the group, he was the closest with Uvogin . Shalnark is also extremely loyal to the "Spider", after Chrollo was captured, he sided with Feitan and Phinks in wanting to go after Pakunoda in order to kill the chain user, even at the risk of Chrollo's life. [7] He was also willing to listen to Franklin ’s logic and admit that he was right. [10] After Pakunoda's death, he and the other members could be seen in mourning. [11]
Like the other members of the Troupe, Shalnark was also cold-blooded, ruthless, and not above inhumane mass murder, most notably when he brutally massacred the Kurta Clan alongside his teammates. The gruesome murder of their dear friend Sarasa and their thirst for revenge against the perpetrators have desensitized him to such atrocities. [12]

Shalnark manipulating another person to death

He did not seem to put too much value on his own life, as shown by his nonchalant reaction when Shizuku 's fortune foretold that he might be one of the Troupe's dead members. [3] Despite looking like the most innocent and cheerful member, it was possible that Shalnark was one of the more cold-hearted and less empathetic of the group, seeing his controlled victims as nothing more than puppets who became broken when they were killed. [8] The above traits may explain why he seemed to be in harmony with the other brutal members of the group, such as Feitan and Phinks, despite their marked differences in personalities.
Nonetheless, Shalnark proved to be a very loyal member of the Troupe, having used everything in his power to help the group's missions and agenda. He seemed to value Shizuku and Pakunoda's lives over his own, as he saw their abilities as rare assets that the Troupe couldn’t afford to lose while considering his own and Nobunaga ’s to be easily replaceable.

Shalnark protecting his hometown

The inhabitants of Meteor City are also stated to share remarkable bonds that have been described as "thinner than water, and yet thicker than blood". [2] This was also proven by the fact that the Phantom Troupe is a major asset in the defense of the city. Shalnark was also one of the Spiders who defended the city from the Chimera Ants. [13]


Hunter × Hunter

Shives is a thin man with a pale complexion. He adorns his face with black eyeliner and has pointed ears, making him resemble a vampire. He has gray hair and sideburns, which frame his pointed face. He wears a black sweater and red nail extensions.

Of Rorgo's men, Shives tends to use sneak attacks and general trickery to win a fight. His fighting sprite is also more vulgar, depicting him raising a middle finger. However, from him prioritizing distance attacks, he can easily be cornered and forced into a ring out. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Shizuku is a petite young woman with short-layered black hair and plum eyes. She has a large bust, slim waist, and wide hips, giving her an hourglass figure. She wears a black turtleneck and jeans, accessorized with black-framed glasses and a necklace bearing St. Peter's Cross , similar to the insignia on the back of Chrollo 's coat. Shizuku also wears earrings ornamented with a reversed cross that are usually covered by her hair. [5] Above her sweater sleeves, she wears a bracelet on each wrist. [6]

Shizuku's spider tattoo

Her spider tattoo is located on the lower left of her midsection, with the number 8 on the spider's abdomen. [7]

Shizuku is very calm. She did not emote even when announcing that, according to her fortune, she would die the following week. [3] She is characterized as aloof, callous, and soulless. Her blunt, cold statements frequently offend those around her and create resentment. She is forgetful to the point of short-term memory loss; sometimes, she forgets people's names or believes she has never met them before. She can be air-headed, which often causes opponents to underestimate her combat abilities. Shizuku is extremely loyal to the "Spider" and she believes in the Troupe's rules set forth by Chrollo, being strongly against members fighting one another. [8] When she arm-wrestled Gon , Shizuku politely cooperated with his extending his right hand and extends her own, despite it disadvantaging her and causing her to ultimately lose. [6]

Shizuku checking on Pakunoda's body

Shizuku is friendly with other members of the Troupe, as seen when she frequently teams up with Franklin in combat, [9] was visibly distraught over Pakunoda 's death, [10] casually played chess with Kortopi , [11] and was on Nobunaga 's side in the conflict of whether to pursue Pakunoda or not, but ultimately respecting Spider's rules. [8]
Like the other members of the Troupe, Shizuku is also cold-blooded, ruthless, and not above inhumane mass murder. [12] She never hesitates to kill when commanded, only caring about the lives of her teammates. She is willing to kill even for trivial reasons; for example, when she asks Chrollo whether to kill Leorio for just being too loud. [13] It is worth noticing that even the most violent members of the Troupe have a certain degree of reservation on unnecessary killings. [14]

Shizuku protecting her hometown

The inhabitants of Meteor City are also stated to share remarkable bonds that have been described as "thinner than water, and yet thicker than blood". [15] This was also proven by the fact that the Phantom Troupe is a major asset in the defense of the city. Shizuku was also one of the Spiders who defended the city from the Chimera Ants. [5]


Hunter × Hunter

Shura was a young man with long, black hair reaching his upper back and a middle part. He was of average height, with pale skin and a slender build.
The outfit he was seen in most often in Hunter × Hunter: The Last Mission consisted of a high-collared black shirt with red accents, loose black pants, a maroon belt, black and red fabric arm bracers, and knee-high boots matching Gaki 's. Overtop, he wore a white and red short-sleeved jacket that had cut-outs on the upper arms and tapered into two tails at the back.
As a child, he wore an identical outfit to Gaki's: short black pants and a dark grey and red short-sleeved shirt, with black shoes and black straps around his ankles. His hair was also shorter as a child, only reaching his collarbones. As an adolescent, he, Gaki, and Rengoku wore matching long, black baggy pants and long beige cloaks with pockets.
It is unknown if Shura possessed a brand from Kanan Prison Camp like Rengoku had, given that they escaped from the Hunters simultaneously. He likely had one as well, but it is never shown.

Shura was often calm and spoke in an even tone, and he enjoyed being in control and the one pulling the strings behind the scenes during his group's mission at Heavens Arena. He was also considered ruthless and willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goals. [2]
Despite appearing calm most of the time, Shura was also easy to enrage if a nerve was struck, particularly one regarding the Shadow and his community, as he cared very deeply for them. Overall, Shura was a lot like the stereotypical Manipulator . [1]
Like Gaki and Rengoku, Shura was filled with hatred, hellbent on getting revenge on the Hunter Association, which led to him and his two friends forming a contract with Jed and becoming On users. Shura was also depicted as much less sympathetic than Gaki or Rengoku, particularly towards Hunters. [1]
He was also depicted as the leader of their trio, handling their essential conversations. In a flashback of Shura, Gaki, and Rengoku going to resurrect On, Shura did all of the talking in order to form their contract with On and Jed. Also, before Jed joined their group, Shura was always shown walking in the middle of their trio and slightly in front of the other two, seemingly leading them. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

While the user's appearance is still unknown, the marionette of Silent Majority has an ornate design. The doll has a bob cut hairstyle, a zipper-like design running down the middle of its face, and two cross shapes with rectangular rings in place of eyes. It wears a multilayered outfit with multiple snake designs: four snake heads on its chest, two intertwined snakes (resembling those on a caduceus ) below a wrap around its midsection, and several swirling snakes on its arms and back. It also wears dark shoes and knee-high socks. [2]

The user of Silent Majority is extremely calm and confident in their ability , even willing to risk the attack rebounding to themselves. [2] They are also very methodical in their approach and tactics, attacking both Woody [1] and Myuhan [3] when they were alone in the bathroom.


Hunter × Hunter

He had green hair, and a large set of mandibles resembling a stag beetle 's. [1]

He took great pride in his abilities and could be conceited. [1] However, when his life was in danger, he became fearful. [2]


Hunter × Hunter

Carrying the genes of a snake, he is half-human, half-serpent, and he has a cloth tied around his left arm.

Snake killed humans for fun, going behind his Squadron Leader 's back to do so. [2] He burst out laughing when he thought he was about to squeeze Gon to death. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Sodom is a tall man with wide eyes and unkempt hair. He also has a moustache and wears a jacket and pants. [1] [2]

Like his fellow Heil-Ly members, Sodom seems to have sadistic tendencies and no qualms about killing many people. [2]


Hunter × Hunter

Soufflé has an androgynous appearance, usually seen with a serious expression and piercing-looking eyes. Her fair hair falls above her shoulders, and her bangs reach her eyebrows. [2]

Soufflé dislikes details, as she has trouble remembering the route of the Heil-Ly's hideout and instead relies on Notre as a guide. [2] Like her fellow members, she has sadistic tendencies and no qualms about killing many people. She seems close with Notre and Terebellum , the latter of whom she reminded multiple times about not fighting anyone who infiltrates the hideout. [3]
Her profession suggests that she has an interest in technology and computers. [2]


Hunter × Hunter

Sub has spiky red hair, narrow eyes, and a tattoo on his forehead that resembles a bat, a generic devil-like figure, or even a heart with arrows. [2] He is seen wearing light gray pants and a pink, long-sleeved shirt with the same figure as his tattoo in black.

Much like Genthru and Bara, Sub is cold and ruthless when it comes to his objective, but he cares deeply about his teammates.


Hunter × Hunter

Surirao is a young man with an androgynous appearance and pale complexion. He bears green eyes and long, brown hair. His suit consists of a black undershirt, a green tie, and a dark fuchsia coat. [1]

When first encountered, Surirao puts up a calm and formal facade. However, when faced off in battle, he becomes excitable and takes pleasure from harming his opponents. His face greatly distorts into various wicked expressions throughout. His ability's name, "Handsome Fake," further alludes to this. Surirao prefers to resort to surprise attacks in a fight. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Tajao is a middle-aged man of medium build. He sports a curtain haircut and dyed hair, his natural dark color visible in the shorter hair on his nape and his mustache. He has round eyes, noticeable dark circles, and gaunt cheeks. [1]

Tajao is a calm individual. He maintained his composure while discussing dire situations for his family and, although he was visibly affected by the suggestion that Luini may be after his boss' life, he continued the conversation in an even tone and smoking unperturbedly. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Taragetter was a tall Chimera Ant with a lean build and body structure similar to other Chimera Ant soldiers. He has darker-colored forewings that reach down to the small of his back. His face was oblong and vaguely boxy, with huge, round eyes at either side of his head and bulbous lips. His bottom lip was connected to the base of his throat through a canula-like apparatus. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Terebellum is a tall, stocky man with a distinctly raised hairstyle. He also has sideburns and a goatee. He is seen wearing a full-body tracksuit. [2]

Like his fellow Heil-Ly members, Terebellum has sadistic tendencies and no qualms about killing many people, even referring to one of their victims as "waste". [2] However, he is extremely protective of the family's members, using his ability to take the damage away from Yokotani and pushing Soufflé away from himself when she forgot that she shouldn't touch him. After witnessing this, Nobunaga called Terebellum's ability sacrificial and not what he imagined from someone like him. [3]


Hunter × Hunter

Tevelares is a tall man with a row of long, vertical scars on his forehead. He has bags under his eyes, sunken cheeks, a mustache, and stubble. His hair is slicked back and falls past his ears. He wears a light-colored shirt, a jacket, pants, and boots. [1] [2]

Teverales appears at first to be a tense and easily angered person, thinking Hinrigh is underestimating him and his fellow members. However, later on, he displays some prudence, retreating after recognizing that Padaille is outclassed by the Xi-Yu underboss. [2]


Hunter × Hunter

Tonpa is a short, fat man with tan skin, brown hair, a large nose, and thick eyebrows. He wears a large, blue v-neck shirt with a white symbol resembling a lowercase "ｉ" on its right side, over a matching pair of light, blue-gray sweatpants. He is often seen carrying a satchel.

After attempting to pass the extremely difficult Hunter Exam several times, Tonpa began to enjoy the failures of new examinees so much that he actively began to try to crush their ambitions at the cost of never passing the exam himself. He is so fascinated by his hobby that he does not hesitate to put weak examinees in potentially lethal situations. [5] However, despite the fact that he enjoys crushing the hopes and dreams of other examinees, he seemed to be genuinely concerned when Killua drank what he thought to be a lethal dose of laxatives. [2] This shows that despite his dubious character, Tonpa is not without scruples as he never resorts to murder. He puts up a friendly façade to earn the trust of rookies, and then deceives and manipulates them into failing the Hunter Exam.


Hunter × Hunter

Tserriednich is a tall and rather muscular man with long blonde hair, a thin black mustache, sideburns and brown eyes. He wears a teal-colored jacket with a yellow zipper under a long white robe and socks, brown shoes, and a crown on his head. During formal banquets, he usually wears a black tuxedo.

Tserriednich is a placid, polished, and erudite Renaissance man with interests ranging from football to philosophy. He has a very keen intellect, which he is proud of. Despite showing a serene smile and courteous mannerisms, Tserriednich is, in reality, sociopathic and inhumane, indulging in gruesome human slaughter and the collection of human body parts, notably several pairs of Scarlet Eyes . [7] He thinks of himself as an artist who seeks pieces of inspiring art that young and beautiful people bring about when confronted with extreme situations. However, he demands that they have an appropriate level of culture, those failing to meet his expectations are regarded as subhuman. Furthermore, he is elated at the prospect of being allowed to kill his siblings, whom he sees as scumbags. [8] One of his bodyguards, Theta , even describes him as pure, unbridled evil, and feels that of all people he must not be allowed to master Nen as he will use it for evil. [1] When he was in the Royal Military School of Kakin, he shot a fellow cadet in the leg after an awards ceremony, due to an argument during an earlier drill.
9 th Prince Halkenburg is the only sibling that he seems to get along well with; Halkenburg even posts in his Facebox that Tserriednich is the only one who accepts him. During a banquet in the Black Whale on the eve of the voyage, Tserriednich and Halkenburg are seen speaking to other guests together. [9]
Tserriednich seems to have a great amount of respect towards individuals and organizations that make great contributions in the areas of academia and sports, having mentioned naming several during a conversation with two women. Furthermore, he seems to hold his father in high regard , wanting Mark to check that the women he brings to Tserriednich know at least the name of Kakin's monarch. [8] This is presumably the reason he and Halkenburg get along well, since the latter is also an accomplished scholar and athlete . [10]
He harbored an intense hatred towards deceitful women. [11] However, after Theta's attempt on his life, he starts to develop an interest on them. [12]


Hunter × Hunter

Tubeppa has sharp, bowl-shaped fair hair, a long nose, a long thin mouth, and a squarish chin. She wears a pair of eyeglasses and earrings. [2] Her features and build are masculine; she also chooses to wear a formal suit during the departure party, while her sisters are wearing dresses. [3]

Tubeppa is a scientist. [2] She displays confidence to win the succession war. Unlike her sister Camilla and half-sisters, she prefers to dress in a more masculine style of clothing. [3] She has a straightforward personality, and much like her half-brother Tserriednich , she analyzes the capabilities of the other Princes. She plots to purge her older siblings Benjamin , Camilla, Zhang Lei , and Tserriednich, all of whom she deplores for their qualities, even though Camilla is her own biological elder sister and she proposed an alliance with Tserriednich. [4] According to Shimano , she has an ideal version of the kingdom, she is very patient and tolerant, and she will reprieve her younger siblings once she gains control of the throne. [5]
She seems to value humility and moderation. She expresses her loathing to those who lack both, such as Benjamin for his arrogance, Camilla for her greed, and Zhang Lei for his indulgence. [4] She is known to be very cautious, overly so in Furykov 's opinion. [6]


Hunter × Hunter

Tuffdy was a tall, well-built man with a mashed-in nose, a cleft chin, and short, fair hair.

Tuffdy was willing to kill Prince Momoze in order to curry favor for whoever would become the next king of Kakin, regardless of his employer and his instructions. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Turtle had the appearance of a turtle with white hair.

Turtle was a sycophant that would do everything to please the individual with most power.


Hunter × Hunter

Uvogin was the tallest and most muscular member of the Phantom Troupe. He had an unruly mane of grizzled hair, sideburns, long, thick eyebrows, and coarse hair on his shoulders, arms, and chest. He had naturally tanned skin and dressed in a wild manner, donning bearskin clothing and boots, whilst also being naturally hairy and rarely wearing a shirt. In his youth, Uvogin had an afro .

Uvogin's spider tattoo

His spider tattoo was located on his back, with the number 11 on the spider's abdomen. [4]

Uvogin was a typical Enhancer : determined, headstrong, simple, and sometimes disrespectful. He was barbaric in manner, viewing even pain as merely a nuisance. Like all members of the Phantom Troupe, Uvogin never hesitated to kill and was remorseless in doing so. [2] [5] He was only interested in physical training and fighting. [6] He particularly enjoyed fights against skilled opponents, but he would typically rush into battle without a plan. However, despite often rushing into battle and fighting in a barbaric manner, he was extremely resourceful, able to defeat three skilled Nen users ( Porcupine , Rabid Dog , and Leech ) using only his head, after being paralyzed from the neck down. Although he prefered to fight alone, Uvogin became stronger when fighting with a partner, because he fought better when he had someone to protect. Uvogin was best friends with Nobunaga , and the two brought out the best in each other during combat. [7]
The inhabitants of Meteor City are also stated to share remarkable bonds that have been described as "thinner than water, and yet thicker than blood". [8] This was also proven by the fact that the Phantom Troupe is a major asset in the defense of the city. [9]

Uvogin's cruel personality

Like the other members of the Troupe, Uvogin was absolutely loyal to Chrollo and the Spiders' ideals. He disliked carrying money and claimed that he had no use for it, firmly believing that one should steal whatever they desire. [6] He would only remember people he killed if they made a lasting impression. [5] He was also very punctual and often argued with Nobunaga and Franklin about their tardiness. [10]
Uvogin was also cold-blooded, ruthless, and not above inhumane mass murder, most notably when he brutally massacred the Kurta Clan alongside his teammates. He also enjoyed killing people who wanted revenge. [11] The gruesome murder of their dear friend Sarasa and thirst for revenge against the perpetrators have desensitized him to such atrocities. It is worth mentioning that he is the most emotional of the Troupe members throughout the ordeal, indicating how deeply he cares for them. [12]


Hunter × Hunter

Vincent sported a shaven head and wore the standard Kakin military attire of zipper jacket, pants, and dark combat boots. He wore an earpiece in his left ear.

Vincent presented himself as poised and liked to say "yessir" at the end of nearly all of his sentences. He has sociopathic tendencies, as he shows no remorse after killing one of Queen Oito 's attendants in an alleged self-defense. [2] Immediately after Vincent commits suicide by poisoning himself, Balsamilco praises him for his courageous action to die so he could avoid confessing his crime of attempting to assassinate Prince Woble. [3]


Hunter × Hunter

Voconte has a long face and bags under his eyes. He has black hair that's parted in the middle and falls just above his ears. He is seen wearing a shirt, jacket, and pants. [2]

Voconte seems practical, advising his fellow Heil-Ly members to trap their would-be victims using his ability. Like his fellow members, he has sadistic tendencies and no qualms about killing many people. [2]


Hunter × Hunter

Yokotani has a long, thin nose and a perpetual smile, and his eyes usually appear closed, [1] except for situations when he is shocked. He has long black hair and wears a dark suit, black tie, and black shoes. He is also seen carrying around a large book. [2]

Being an unscrupulous lawyer, Yokotani is presumed to be deceptive and manipulative. He is very cordial, polite, and extremely knowledgeable about the law. [3] [2] Like his fellow Heil-Ly members, he seems to have sadistic tendencies and no qualms about killing many people. [2]


Hunter × Hunter

Yunju's upper half was that of a muscular man, while his lower half was that of a horse. He had spiky blue hair, red eyes, and a serpentine tongue.

Yunju shows no regard for the well-being of humans, having no issue enslaving them as dogs, and even killing them if they become annoying to him. [1] He is also confident in his abilities and status as a king, to the point of arrogance. [2]


Hunter × Hunter

Zazan was a humanoid Chimera Ant. Like the other members of her species, she had jointed hands and legs. She had long and unkempt fuchsia hair, golden eyes, purplish skin, and a large bust. On her forehead were several raised ovals, the same color as her hair, which resembled gemstones. Her long scorpion-like tail bore a red heart in the telson . She initially wore a two-piece yellow outfit, with a red star on the top and bottom, that bared her midriff, much like a bikini. After announcing herself as queen, her outfit changed to a corset and a more revealing brassiere (which only covered the area where her nipples were), with a long skirt to hide her tail from her enemies.

Zazan was one of the more disobedient Squadron Leaders , as she allowed her subordinates to kill and eat humans freely. She was confident, egocentric, power-hungry, and vain. Despite normally having an arrogant and composed attitude, she easily got furious if anything damaged her beauty, revealing a considerably violent and vengeful side of her. [5]


Hunter × Hunter

Zegin was a young man with crimson red hair, with one long protruding bang hanging on the right and a shorter one hanging from the left, and pointed sides. He also had a Roman nose, thin eyebrows, and black eyes hidden under a pair of glasses. He also wore a white blazer with two gold-colored belt buckles, blue trim around the edges, cuffs, and the cape attached to the blazer, a black dress shirt underneath the blazer, matching color white pants, a brown leather belt with a gold-colored buckle, and black dress shoes. [1]

Zegin is callous and conniving. He had no remorse for killing all of the examinees in the 3rd Phase of the 282nd Hunter Exam, making him unrepentant. His primary goal for wanting to acquire the powerful Aura from the Dragon Vein is so that he can achieve "True Freedom". Said freedom consists of having no one stand in his way. In other words, he is a selfish man who prioritizes himself. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Zenji is a stocky, bald man with a mustache and soul patch. He wears a black suit with a red shirt and yellow tie. He also wears a small pair of sunglasses.

Zenji is a pretentious individual who despises Light Nostrade for his quick rise through the ranks of the Mafia and the unconventional way he did so, which Light interprets as jealousy. He becomes irritated very easily and did not hesitate to punch Light in front of multiple witnesses, even encouraging Kurapika to stab him while he was being held at knifepoint. [1] He is also extremely vindictive, which he showed by trying to outbid Kurapika at the Underground Auction and later attempting to kill him before Kurapika's bloodlust left him terrified. [2]


Hunter × Hunter

Zhang Lei is a short, [3] bald man with squarish eyes and bags under them. His appearance resembles that of a Chinese monk. He appears to have no eyebrows, with lines departing from the bridge of his nose arching over his eyes. Above each of them are three dark dots in a column, with the biggest at the base. He has a dark pencil mustache, a very square chin, and elongated earlobes. [1] Zhang Lei is a dark-skinned man, a trait he inherits from his mothers. In his first appearance, he has very accentuated ears, but in later chapters his ears look more normal. [4]

According to Shimano , Zhang Lei is tolerant and generous enough to start a negotiation, implying he is diplomatic. He seems to be a pacifist to some degree, as he avoids killing but does not hesitate in the slightest if it comes down to it. He can also be kind and cruel at the same time. [4] He indeed treated 8 th Queen Oito and Kurapika with respect and courtesy and declared that he was not participating in the contest because he wished to. Nonetheless, he has no qualms about allying himself with the Mafia to gain more muscle for the succession contest. This is because he believes that a true king should be able to use both the light and dark sides of society. By his own admission, he tends to worry more about what happens after he becomes king than about the hurdles to reach the crown. [5] In Tubeppa 's opinion, he is an indulgent person. [6]


Hunter × Hunter

Assassin A was a tall man with a medium build. He had distinct facial features with a prominent nose, heavy bags under his eyes, downward angled eyebrows, and lazy but piercing, light-colored eyes. He kept medium-length hair that reached his shoulders, outstanding sideburns, and likely possessed substantial body hair as noted by his hairy arms. His clothes consisted of generally military-like attire with a combat army shirt, a military-style beret, and a pair of combat boots into which he tucked the legs of the trousers. [2]

Assassin A was a confident and individualistic man who was also quite bloodthirsty. With a solitary personality, he was not interested in working with the other assassins and proposed that they should work by themselves in their mission to eliminate the Phantom Troupe . He also confidently ridiculed the idea of using color codes as brought up by the other assassins, claiming that no one would use them. [1] Assassin A was also shown to be a perceptive man, able to catch a glimpse of Chrollo 's extremely swift strike to Neon 's neck on surveillance footage, claiming that anyone else would have missed it. [2] He was also quite assertive and directed the discussion to use a majority rule vote, most likely to validate his personal stance and to sway the conversation to his side. [1]
Assassin A was shown to be a bloodthirsty man fully indulged in the thrill of the hunt, especially when the target had demonstrated to be a worthy enough prey. To complement this, he had a sturdy composure and was able to hide this side of him extremely well, containing all of his thoughts internally even as he was growing excited at the prospect of facing his opponent. His composure allowed him to think cautiously and tactically despite his turbulent inner thrill, and he took the necessary precautions and considered things carefully as he hunted his target. [2] However, his confidence and composure would later diminish when facing the things truly unknown to him, entering a state of panic. [3]


Hunter × Hunter

Assassin B had crimson hair, which he had shaved on the left side to display a bird-like tattoo, while keeping the hair on the right side long and tied at the front to cover the right side of his face entirely. He had additional tattoos around his left eye and cheek, though it is unclear if he had similar tattoos around his other eye. He wore traditional clothes which was in stark contrast to his trendy hairstyle.

A man of few words, very little is known about Assassin B. According to Kurapika , he and Assassin A were the only two not intimidated by Silva and Zeno Zoldyck . He also agreed with Assassin A that they should all work by themselves, saying that they each have different styles and they can't force everyone to work together. [1]
In the 2011 anime adaptation, he also showed a side of confidence during his short clash with Chrollo . [2]


Hunter × Hunter

An enigmatic individual, Assassin C was a man with a medium build. He had short hair and wore clothing with a primitive style. His face was covered by a mask with eyes and a mouth drawn on it. [1] In the 2011 anime adaptation, he is depicted as dark skinned. [2]

There is almost nothing known about Assassin C's personality. His face was never seen, he barely spoke, and he was never seen again after his initial introduction. The only indication of his personality was that he preferred the color red when other assassins suggested that they should each pick a code name. Kurapika said that along with the other assassins (besides Assassin A and Assassin B ), Assassin C was intimidated by Silva and Zeno Zoldyck . [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Assassin D was a medium build man with long sideburns, a large nose, and stern eyes. He wore a tabard with two straps across the chest and a tall cap. [1]

Like Assassin E , Assassin D was thoughtful and cooperative. He wished to proceed in a cautious manner by not only requesting a floor plan of the building but also suggesting that they choose code names. Kurapika said that along with the other assassins (besides Assassin A and Assassin B ), Assassin D was intimidated by Silva and Zeno Zoldyck . When Assassins A and B were trying to convince the others to work alone, Assassin D reminded them of how dangerous the Troupe and suggested that it would be too dangerous to face them alone. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Assassin E was a medium build man with long, dark hair tied into a ponytail, thick eyebrows that curled upwards at the end, and a Fu Manchu mustache . In addition to his eyes never being seen opened, his calm manners made him appear as a poised individual. He dressed in a medium-length pullover coat or robe decorated with a distinct pattern on the chest, which he fastened with a belt. Underneath the coat, he wore a white shirt and a pair of matching trousers, the legs of which were tucked into his boots. [1]

Thoughtful and cooperative, Assassin E immediately complemented Assassin D 's request for the floor plan of the building by asking for a map. Similarly, when some hired assassins opposed the idea of teamwork, Assassin E asserted his opinion that to succeed in their task to eliminate the Phantom Troupe, some basic teamwork would be necessary. He was also a man of few words, having only spoken twice in the meeting and only when it was necessary to make clear his stance and opinion. Kurapika said that along with the other assassins (besides Assassin A and Assassin B ), Assassin E was intimidated by Silva and Zeno Zoldyck . [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Assassin F was a young man with a lean build with a scar running down his right eye, and short hair. He wore a hoodie over a plain shirt with pants and boots. [1]

Assassin F was the first to choose a color code name after suggesting the idea. Kurapika said that along with the other assassins (besides Assassin A and Assassin B ), Assassin F was intimidated by Silva and Zeno Zoldyck . Assassin F became understandably anxious when the Zoldycks revealed their identities. However, he was also curious and confident enough to ask Zeno multiple questions. [1]


Hunter × Hunter

Kikyo has black hair and pale skin. She is 170 centimeters tall and wears a dark purple bustle gown and a broad-brimmed hat decorated with feathers, fur, and flowers. Her face is covered in bandages due to Killua's attack, though she removes them later in the story. [3] She has an electronic visor covering her eyes; the visor can be used as a communication device, [2] although what other purposes it suits are unknown.
A few years earlier, Kikyo wore a kimono and had her black hair pulled into a big bun updo, without a hat. [4] Her visor also lacked the microphone and did not cover her ears.
In the 1999 anime adaptation, her gown was yellow with pink frills.

Kikyo is the maternal figure of the Zoldyck Family and is an assassin herself. [5] She dotes on Killua to extremes and looks forward to seeing him excel in assassination and carrying on the Zoldyck Family's business. She feels delighted every time Killua displays his coldness, even if it is directed toward her. Because of her excessive love and high hopes for him, she has become an overprotective, unbalanced parent, and is suspicious of any stranger who wants to get close to him, fearing that they will mislead him. [2]
Nonetheless, Kikyo loves her family in her own twisted way; she has a good relationship with her husband Silva and loves the rest of her children, especially Killua and Kalluto . [6] She also has a give-and-take relationship with her oldest son Illumi , [7] and she frequently gets frustrated with Zeno for ignoring her choices. [2] Like Silva and Zeno, she does not agree with Illumi about killing Alluka , only wanting to control her power and to protect Killua from her. [6]
Kikyo is also cruel, as she has no qualms about testing her fourth child's power on innocent people, likely resulting in their deaths. [4] She also dislikes people thinking her treatment of Killua is cruel and uncaring, as she knocks out Canary after she pleads with Gon , Kurapika , and Leorio to save Killua during their visit to his house. [8]


Hunter × Hunter

Maha's body has probably deteriorated considerably due to his old age. He stands at 140 centimeters * (about 4 ft 7 in), ten centimeters shorter than Kalluto .

Maha's personality is mostly unknown, but he apparently has no deep relationships with any other Zoldyck, [3] despite this, he stills continues to help the family's business, as seen when he helped Illumi and Kalluto. [4] Being an assassin for decades, Maha is very likely cold-blooded and does not hesitate to kill his targets.
