Cardinal (The Forgotten)

"Can you not let an old man finish his meal? Is that too much to ask for but a common courtesy?"

- "Tier Three"

Cardinal is a character featured in Dragon Ball Z: The Forgotten. He is featured in the third, fourth, and fifth sagas and is introduced in the chapter, "Mist".

Appearance
Cardinal is a male human, 80 years old; he is of German descent. He has stark white hair, short, in an almost buzz cut. His eyes are bright blue. Even in his advanced age, he stayed in good health, and is trim. His height is normal as well. His hands shake somewhat, as if with Parkinson's disease, but it is not widespread enough to make Cardinal invalid. He is also a very religious man, Catholic; he has a tattoo of a cross on the inside of his right hand as well (in TF, all religious references that Cardinal makes have been toned down). He also, curiously, wears the red ribbon arm band underneath his clothes, though it is not certain if this is because he was a member of the organization at one time.

Personality
Cardinal is, as mentioned before, a very religious man. This could be based off of his German parents' influence. And despite being German himself, Cardinal does not speak with any kind of accent, other than that of high elegance. He is very haughty, daring, and smart. In fact, Cardinal is the smartest character in The Forgotten. His daring and bold personality has lead to him becoming very wealthy and powerful. And while not a political figure himself, his mere presence can influence just about anyone to do anything he wants.

History
Cardinal was introduced in The Forgotten as the man put in charge by the UN to find Ledas. His was originally tasked to find the "rogue alien" somewhere in Police Chief Nagamo's city, however it soon became apparent that this alien was much more dangerous than even Cardinal had expected. Eventually this led to Cardinal having to take drastic measures, and kidnap the alien and his friend. Of course, Cardinal had to use the help of several
