A large man with a demonic appearance, including a crown of horns that give the idea that they are growing out of his head. He manipulates Emperor Makoto and runs the Empire behind the scenes this way. He is the primary antagonist of the series, and hates Night Raid and the Revolutionary Army strongly. He is often shown eating. He cares very little for anything and will do anything to maintain his own power.

It is stated that Emperor Makoto only won the battle of succession due to the Prime Minister's influence and planning. The Prime Minister before him was Chouri. A man that was a kindhearted but strong will. A strong adviser to the former emperor, who desired to return to the capital to stop the decline of the empire. When the Prime Minister became aware of this he had Esdeath's force's (The "Three Beasts") to kill him. He is known to have one son named Syura who is currently the leader of the secret police Wild Hunt, and he is also known to have one blood relative named Iwokaru, who was killed by Night Raid.

In a land where corruption rules and a ruthless Prime Minister has turned the puppet Emperor's armies of soldiers, assassins and secret police against the people, only one force dares to stand against them: Night Raid, an elite team of relentless killers, each equipped with an Imperial Arm - legendary weapons with unique and incredible powers created in the distant past. 
 
Rescued from a fate worse than death by Night Raid, young Tatsumi is offered the chance to join their lethal ranks… but it's a deadly choice, as few can master an Imperial Arm and even fewer survive when two Arms go against each other in combat. The battle is on, and only the strongest will make it out alive.
