Rupert Marshal

Rupert Marshal is the overall primary antagonist and the main antagonist of the second series. He is the English powerful and charismatic leader of the cartel.

Personality
Rupert Marshal is known for his flamboyant dress, eccentric violence, and generally unconcerned approach even to highly climatic and dangerous events. He is a rather soft-spoken sort of person, rarely showing stronger emotions than minor annoyance. He is the most calm and reserved of the cartel leadership body, very unlike his subordinates. His attitude towards Kanon Seto, despite Kanon warring against the cartel and making an attempt on his life, is strangely warm and father-like. He views Kanon's destruction on his organization as entertainment and on occasion has taken steps to aid him in his endeavour, showing how tired and warn down he is of being a crime lord and desires to make his and his empire's finale as thrilling and climatic as possible. However, Rupert himself has stated he initially built his organization to change the world for the better by attempting to control crime internationally, though this ultimately failed and Rupert had just made things worse. These events had also changed Rupert for the worse and led to his family's death, much to his sadness.

Rupert is a very charismatic leader and has earned the loyalty of so many dangerous psychopathic killers either out of respect, fear or simply having the wealth to control them. However, he is very much a recluse in his palace, passing off the burden of leadership to his lieutenants during the final years of both his and his empire's life and many of his underlings and associates began to believe Rupert is just a shell of the man he once was.
