List of Minor Characters (Chasing Oblivion)

This page lists the minor characters introduced in Chasing Oblivion. The characters are listed in order of introduction:

Junichi Masamune
In chapter 1, Junichi was introduced as a bandit working with Lychrel and Yamcha in Diablo Desert. The three of them attacked a hovervan full of expensive saké with rocket launchers. After confronting the deliveryman, Junichi killed the man and stole all the saké. The three of them spent the afternoon getting wasted before Wolfe and his Wings showed up, claiming the rare haul for themselves. After getting into an argument with Wolfe, Junichi refused to hand over the rare bottles of alcohol and revealed that he was the nephew of man who owned the saké. Wolfe offered to let them join his bandit gang, and while Yamcha and Lychrel were quick to do so, Junichi only reluctantly agreed to, though he grew angry at his friends' betrayal. Wolfe, seeing no other recourse, then performed a Wolf Fang Fist on Junichi, killing him, and leaving his body for the vultures.

In chapter 2, at the end of the first scene, Yamcha thought back to his memories of Junichi and Lychrel with melancholy.

Lychrel
In chapter 1, Lychrel was introduced as a bandit working with Junichi and Yamcha in Diablo Desert. The three of them attacked a hovervan full of expensive saké with rocket launchers. After confronting the deliveryman, Junichi killed the man and stole all the saké. The three of them spent the afternoon getting wasted before Wolfe and his Wings showed up, claiming the rare haul for themselves. Wolfe offered to let them join his bandit gang, and while Yamcha and Lychrel were quick to do so, Junichi only reluctantly agreed to, though he grew angry at his friends' betrayal. Lychrel tried to calm him down and explain their situation logically to Junichi, he did not listen. Wolfe, seeing no other recourse, then performed a Wolf Fang Fist on Junichi, killing him, and leaving his body for the vultures. While Lychrel pleaded with Wolfe to spare the boy, he did not listen to her.

In chapter 2, Yamcha ran into Lychrel after being spared by Wolfe. He became visibly distraught at the sight of her near-naked body (she was in the process of changing clothes). Lychrel then gave Yamcha advice, telling him to hide his fear from the others lest they prey on him. She also told him he needed to start acting tougher if he wanted to survive. At the end of the first scene, Yamcha thought back to his memories of Junichi and Lychrel with melancholy. Later in the chapter, Silver Snead came to get Yamcha while he was doing dishes and brought him to Wolfe. Wolfe then told the group of bandits he had assembled - Snead, Yamcha, Lychrel, Pacheko, and Rheems - that they were going to assassinate King Furry's Captain of the Guard by blowing up the House of the Blue Lotus. Snead questioned Wolfe, but Wolfe threatened to kill him if he said another word, so everyone then agreed to perform the mission to their best ability.

In chapter 3, Lychrel went to South City with Silver Snead, Yamcha, Pacheko, and Rheems to assassinate King Furry's Captain of the Guard. When Yamcha began to freak out upon noticing the topless dancers inside the House of the Blue Lotus, Snead ordered Lychrel to get the boy under control or he would kill him. Lychrel was barely able to do this, though she refused to give the boy a handjob, which was Snead's recommendation for calming him down. Snead then instructed Lychrel and Yamcha to help Pacheko arm the explosives. Later on, she helped the others set the explosives up and revealed to Rheems that she had once desired to work in a place like the House of the Blue Lotus, as she had always wanted to be a dancer. Rheems asked her to show him her moves, but she declined, stating she hadn't practiced in a while. Then Snead told them both to shut up and get back to work. Soon after, Pacheko accidentally set off one wall of explosives, killing himself and damaging the whorehouse significantly. In the explosion, Lychrel's right eye burst and much of her face and body was burnt. Snead and Yamcha helped carry her out of the building where they ran into a crowd of people and a host of cops. Lychrel fell to the ground where it appeared she lost consciousness. The cops arrested the four bandits, although Yamcha wondered why they didn't call an ambulance for Lychrel.

Piper
In chapter 1, Junichi bragged to Lychrel and Yamcha that his dream had come true, due to having "scored big" with a girl named Piper recently.

Tonji's servant
In chapter 1, this character drove the hovervan full of saké through Diablo Desert before being ambushed by Junichi, Lychrel, and Yamcha. Though he pleaded for his life after they captured him, Junichi nevertheless executed the man in order to steal the alcohol he had been transporting.

Tonji Masamune
In chapter 1, it was revealed that Lord Tonji was a man who owned a renowned saké brewery. A hovervan of his saké was attacked by Junichi, Lychrel, and Yamcha, and its contents were stolen by the three (though the saké was later taken by Wolfe and his Wings). Junichi revealed that he was the nephew of Tonji, which explained how he knew the saké delivery routes. Later in the chapter, Lord Tonji himself appeared before Lady Yunwu, the deputy mayor of South City, asking her to assist him in recovering his stolen saké and asking her if she had heard any news about his missing nephew (Junichi). While she had not heard anything about Jun, she promised to recover the saké in a week's time for the price of 25% of the haul. It was later revealed that she already had the saké, but was going to try to negotiate with the man again in a week to get a better price.

Wolfe's Wings
In chapter 1, several members of Wolfe's gang appeared with him when he came across Junichi, Lychrel, and Yamcha. They aided Wolfe in taking the saké from those three. One member even commented that Junichi was sick for attacking his uncle's delivery van.

In chapter 1, Sallow Saul was the veteran bandit who led a force of Wolfe's Wings on a mission to shoot down a small plane and steal the riches it was hauling. A couple was murdered by them (sans Yamcha) as they waited for the plane to appear. Their hovercar and belongings were looted. This group then accidentally shot down the wrong plane. The plane had been carrying members of a rival gang. Fearing Wolfe's reaction to what they had accidentally done, two bandits committed suicide, and another pair fled, though they were shot down by Sallow Saul before they could escape. The rest, including Yamcha, Akkan, and the unnamed necrophile, bravely returned to Wolfe's hideout to tell him what had happened.

In the first scene of chapter 2, many of Wolfe's bandits were seen inside the boss's hideout. They stared uneasily at Yamcha as he passed them by. Others participated in the battle against the yakuza, with several dying in that firefight, but most surviving. A female bandit was also shown to be Wolfe's consort when Yunwu went to visit him.

In chapter 3, when she met with Mazuchiru, Yunwu requested the services of 500 of his yakuza soldiers for the upcoming bandit war. He agreed, and she gave him thirty million zeni (taken from Wolfe's stores) to pay for them. Mazuchiru promised his yakuza would help her take over the Diablo Desert in the near future. Later on, one hundred bandits assisted Wolfe in assassinating the twelve leaders of the One-Eyed Jackalopes. After he sniped several of them from afar, Wolfe ordered a hundred bandits on bikes who were waiting behind the rocky formations to attack the remaining One-Eyed Jackalopes. His men were ruthless and killed them all. Then, all of them except for Rosey and Mingo followed him to the One-Eyed Jackalopes' hideout, where they planned on using Yunwu's tampered explosives to blow up the base.

Yunwu's servants
In chapter 1, it was revealed that due to the samurai lord Naigo rampaging through South City at the time, Yunwu needed to be escorted to her various meetings for the day by armed guards.

In chapter 1, Yunwu's attendants and handmaidens followed her around as she went from meeting room to meeting room. When she returned to her apartment, some followed her there, providing services such as cooking and cleaning. One of Yunwu's attendants told her that Naigo had escaped from the police after a brief skirmish. The attendant also told Yunwu that she had thirteen more clients to meet with. But as exhausted as she was, the deputy mayor had no desire to meet with them, instead giving them the first thirteen guaranteed slots for next month's meetings.

In chapter 3, after Naigo and Makare refused to fight in the bandit war for Yunwu's side, she sent Captain Fortier and a detachment of guards after the two, ordering them to kill the samurai. However, Fortier and his men were cut down by Makare and Naigo. Only two guards remained with her afterwards, and they escorted her to Mazuchiru's waiting room before escorting her back to her apartment.

In chapter 3, Yunwu's attendants informed her, after she returned to her apartment, that Ren had not yet returned.

Naigo
In chapter 1, it was revealed that due to the samurai lord Naigo rampaging through South City at the time, Yunwu needed to be escorted to her various meetings for the day by armed guards. Yunwu reflected that she would have to deal with him at some point. Later, one of Yunwu's attendants told her that Naigo had escaped from the police after a brief skirmish.

In chapter 3, Yunwu revealed that she had brokered an alliance between the samurai Makare and Naigo. She wanted their army to fight in the upcoming bandit war in the Diablo Desert, but they refused. When she stated she had saved them from the police, they just laughed at her and left, threatening her in the process. She later sent Captain Fortier and a detachment of guards after the two, ordering them to kill the samurai. However, Fortier and his men were cut down by Makare and Naigo.

Makare
In chapter 1, Yunwu met with Makare, whom she described as a rapturous and delusional swordsman. The details of their meeting were not revealed in this chapter.

In chapter 3, Yunwu revealed that she had brokered an alliance between the samurai Makare and Naigo. She wanted their army to fight in the upcoming bandit war in the Diablo Desert, but they refused. When she stated she had saved them from the police, they just laughed at her and left, threatening her in the process. She later sent Captain Fortier and a detachment of guards after the two, ordering them to kill the samurai. However, Fortier and his men were cut down by Makare and Naigo.

In chapter 1, Dr. Gero met with Yunwu, the deputy mayor of South City, in order to discuss if she could help him secure an infinite energy device or not. After some discussion, she decided to help him secure such a device.

In chapter 1, it was revealed that the samurai lord Naigo was rampaging through South City. Later, one of Yunwu's attendants told her that Naigo had escaped from the police after a brief skirmish.

In chapter 3, after Makare and Naigo refused to fight in the bandit war for Yunwu's side, she stated she had saved them from the police - from all the murders they had committed and various criminal operations they were guilty of engaging in - but the two were not grateful for what she had done for them. Later, when Snead, Yamcha, Lychrel, and Rheems fled the burning House of the Blue Lotus, they were stopped outside by a host of police officers, and the four of them were arrested.

Sallow Saul
In chapter 1, Sallow Saul was the veteran bandit who led a force of Wolfe's Wings on a mission to shoot down a small plane and steal the riches it was hauling. Before the plane arrived, Saul questioned Yamcha about his origins, but the boy only gave him vague replies. His team, which included Yamcha and a handful of others, accidentally shot down the wrong plane. The plane had been carrying members of a rival gang. Fearing Wolfe's reaction to what they had accidentally done, two bandits committed suicide, and another pair fled, though they were shot down by Sallow Saul before they could escape. The rest, including Yamcha, bravely returned to Wolfe's hideout to tell him what had happened.

In chapter 2, Sallow Saul, along with Akkan, the unnamed necrophile, and Yamcha, was brought before Wolfe to relay the information about what had happened to the Night Snakes' plane. Wolfe then became visibly enraged and killed Saul as the man was pleading for his life.

Unlucky couple
In chapter 1, this couple was murdered by Sallow Saul and his companions (sans Yamcha) as they waited for the plane they were meant to ambush to appear. Their hovercar and belongings were looted.

Akkan
In chapter 1, Akkan was the first bandit Sallow Saul ordered to shoot at the plane. He survived the entire encounter and was one of two bandits, aside from Saul and Yamcha, to return to Wolfe's hideout following the accidental destruction of the Night Snakes' plane.

In chapter 2, Akkan, along with Saul, the unnamed necrophile, and Yamcha, was brought before Wolfe to relay the information about what had happened to the Night Snakes' plane. Wolfe then became visibly enraged and killed Saul. Akkan pleaded for his life, telling Wolfe he had a daughter, but the ganglord shot him in the head nonetheless.

Nia
In chapter 1, Nia was the second bandit Sallow Saul ordered to shoot at the plane. After Saul's band realized the plane they had shot down had belonged to the Night Snakes, Nia and another bandit ran off in terror, fearing Wolfe's reaction to the news. Sallow Saul calmly shot her and her companion dead as they attempted to flee.

Night Snakes
In chapter 1, a plane carrying several senior members of the Night Snakes gang was shot down by Sallow Saul and his detachment of Wolfe's Wings. Fearing Wolfe's reaction to what they had accidentally done, two bandits committed suicide, and another pair fled, though they were shot down by Sallow Saul before they could escape. The rest, including Yamcha, Akkan, and the unnamed necrophile, bravely returned to Wolfe's hideout to tell him what had happened. Before he followed the rest back, however, Yamcha found an ornate sword amongst the plane wreckage and decided to bring it back with him. Later, Ren was sent to Yunwu to relay this sensitive information to the deputy mayor of South City.

In chapter 2, Sallow Saul, Akkan, the unnamed necrophile, and Yamcha returned to Wolfe's hideout to tell him that they had shot down a plane of Night Snakes. Wolfe became visibly enraged at the news and killed everyone except for Yamcha, who had brought back a valuable Night Snakes sword from the plane wreckage. Wolfe stated too that at some point in the near future, due to what Saul's detachment had done, there would be a gang war between the Night Snakes and Wings. Later, as Wolfe and Yunwu were discussion the impending gang war between Wolfe's Wings and the Night Snakes, Wolfe stated that at the end of the war, there would be no more gangs left except for his - no more Night Snakes, no more Bulldogs, no more One-eyed Jackalopes. He intended to destroy all of them.

In chapter 3, one of the One-eyed Jackalope leaders demanded that Wolfe meet with them himself if he wanted to explain what had happened to the Night Snakes' plane.

Unnamed necrophile
In chapter 1, this character was part of Sallow Saul's detachment sent on a mission to shoot down a small plane and steal the riches it was hauling. After it was discovered that they had shot down the wrong plane (a plane that had been carrying several senior members of a rival gang), he declared, “Well, if we’re screwed, I may as well get one last fuckin’ over on the world!”. Then, the man proceeded to take a female corpse from the plane's wreckage and copulate with it. Nevertheless, he survived the entire encounter and was one of two bandits, aside from Saul and Yamcha, to return to Wolfe's hideout following the accidental destruction of the Night Snakes' plane.

In chapter 2, this man, along with Akkan, Saul, and Yamcha, was brought before Wolfe to relay the information about what had happened to the Night Snakes' plane. Wolfe then became visibly enraged and killed Saul and Akkan with a pistol. Then, the unnamed necrophile attempted to plead for his life, but seeing that wasn't going to work, he charged at Wolfe, preparing to knock the gun from his hand, but the ganglord shot him in the head before he could.

Children of Chaos
In chapter 1, a detachment of Children of Chaos soldiers was shown guarding the research station at Yunzabit Heights that the Negative Utilitarianism League was using as its meeting place. They were loyal to the mayor of South City, as well as Colonel Violet. Several members assisted in the cleanup of Bobo's corpse.

In chapter 3, the mayor noted that the Children of Chaos, who operated the Yunzabit Heights research facility, were loyal only to him and Violet. Later on, the mayor instructed Sergeant Tyrian to inform his men about his plan to kill the members of NUL with the Yalung beast. He requested Tyrian find eight men to carry the box down to their meeting chamber sometime in the future.

NUL
In chapter 1, it was revealed that the Negative Utilitarianism League was using a Children of Chaos research station in Yunzabit Heights as its meeting place. The mayor was still an active participant in this group as of this chapter.

In chapter 3, the mayor of South City went to Sergeant Tyrian of the Children of Chaos and detailed to the man his plan to kill the members of NUL with the Yalung beast. He requested Tyrian find eight men to carry the box down to their meeting chamber sometime in the future. The mayor got high and then proceeded to attend the next NUL meeting, feigning sickness when asked about why he hadn't been coming to the past few meetings. During the meeting, the mayor did not listen to anything the NUL members had to say, but instead thought about how he would kill them for hurting his mind with their pseudo-philosophical nonsense.

In chapter 1, Mercenary Tao procured a mysterious Yalung (whatever the heck that is) for the mayor of South City, stashing it in a secret room in the Children of Chaos' research station in Yunzabit Heights. He stated that capturing it, not killing it, proved to be a difficult task that took him three days. He warned the mayor not to let the Yalung out of its cage until he was certain he would be safely away from its rampage. After getting annoyed by Bobo, the Yalung's self-appointed handler, Tao killed him.

In chapter 3, Yunwu attempted to hire Mercenary Tao to assassinate Koicharu Mazuchiru, a yakuza boss. When Tao stated his price was 10 billion zeni, she countered with 10 million. Tao then left, as their prices were too far apart to negotiate.

Yalung
In chapter 1, Mercenary Tao procured a mysterious Yalung (whatever the heck that is) for the mayor of South City, stashing it in a secret room in the Children of Chaos' research station in Yunzabit Heights. He stated that capturing it, not killing it, proved to be a difficult task that took him three days. He warned the mayor not to let the Yalung out of its cage until he was certain he would be safely away from its rampage. This creature's purpose, appearance, and strength were left undescribed in this chapter.

In chapter 3, the mayor of South City briefly considered letting the Yalung loose upon himself and Doctor Faustus so he would be able to hear Faustus scream. He did not go through with that plan, though. Later on, after he returned from his NUL meeting, the mayor realized that the Yalung had escaped from its cage and was nowhere to be seen.

Bobo
In chapter 1, Bobo was the self-appointed handler of the Yalung. When he started making annoying Yalung calls and sounds, Mercenary Tao killed him right in front of the mayor of South City. Several members of the Children of Chaos' Yunzabit Heights detachment assisted in the cleanup of Bobo's corpse.

Jorack
In chapter 2, Wolfe stated that Jorack, a boss of the Night Snakes, had been the original owner of the Azure Dragon Sword.

Thoras
In chapter 2, this man was sitting on a chair next to Yamcha's room and was singing a song. When he saw Yamcha, he spat, but continued singing nonetheless.

In chapter 3, Yunwu thought about how she had sent Ren to pick up some poison from Thoras, one of Wolfe's bandits whom she had introduced to Wolfe many years ago (and thus trusted more than most bandits).

Wheatty
In chapter 2, Wheatty was part of the detachment with Yamcha sent to patrol the Diablo Desert. He was the driver of Yamcha's car. They stole goods and valuables from several travelers in the desert. Later, he participated in the battle against the Chàoxing Gon yakuza. He used his car to ram into various yakuza, taking several bullet wounds in the process. He was one of eight bandits to survive the battle and later helped Yamcha, Snead, and Rico dig up the yakuza's buried money. When one yakuza they had assumed was dead suddenly attacked them, he first shot Wheatty, whose body fell into the pit they had dug the money out of. Later on, it was revealed that Wheatty survived the wounds he had taken due to Yamcha noticing that he was still alive after falling into the hole. The boy and Silver Snead had brought him back to Wolfe's hideout where he was treated and expected to live.

Jess
In chapter 2, Jess was part of the detachment with Yamcha sent to patrol the Diablo Desert. They stole goods and valuables from several travelers in the desert. After stealing a diamond necklace from a poor passerby, she kissed Yamcha on the lips (much to the boy's astonishment). Later, she participated in the battle against the Chàoxing Gon yakuza. In the battle, she was killed by a bullet to the throat.

Silver Snead
In chapter 2, Silver Snead was part of the detachment with Yamcha sent to patrol the Diablo Desert. They stole goods and valuables from several travelers in the desert. Later, he participated in the battle against the Chàoxing Gon yakuza. He used his sniper rifle to shoot at the yakuza from the left side of the car. In the battle, he took a bullet to the ear, but was otherwise unscathed. He was one of eight bandits to survive the battle and later helped Yamcha, Wheatty, and Rico dig up the yakuza's buried money. When one yakuza they had assumed was dead suddenly attacked them, shooting Wheatty and taking Yamcha hostage, Snead calmly killed the man with a sniper shot to the back of the head. He and Yamcha were the only two thought to have survived the encounter, and thus it was up to them and them alone to load the money onto the truck. Later in the chapter, Silver Snead came to get Yamcha while he was doing dishes and brought him to Wolfe. On the way over, Snead told Yamcha that Wheatty would live (having only sustained moderate bullet damage from the yakuza) much to Yamcha's relief. Wolfe then told the group of bandits he had assembled - Snead, Yamcha, Lychrel, Pacheko, and Rheems - that they were going to assassinate King Furry's Captain of the Guard by blowing up the House of the Blue Lotus. Snead questioned Wolfe, but Wolfe threatened to kill him if he said another word, so everyone then agreed to perform the mission to their best ability.

In chapter 3, Silver Snead went to South City with Yamcha, Lychrel, Pacheko, and Rheems to assassinate King Furry's Captain of the Guard. He led them and reminded the group that all that mattered was killing the Captain. Once they made their way inside the House of the Blue Lotus, he instructed Pacheko to arm the explosives. When Yamcha began to freak out upon noticing the topless dancers, Snead ordered Lychrel to get the boy under control or he would kill him. Lychrel was barely able to do this, though she refused to give the boy a handjob, which was Snead's recommendation for calming him down. Snead then instructed Lychrel and Yamcha to help Pacheko arm the explosives. Later on, he helped the others set the explosives up. When Lychrel and Rheems began flirting, Snead told them both to shut up and get back to work. Soon after, Pacheko accidentally set off one wall of explosives, killing himself and damaging the whorehouse significantly. In the explosion, Lychrel's right eye burst and much of her face and body was burnt. Snead and Yamcha helped carry her out of the building where they ran into a crowd of people and a host of cops. The cops arrested the four of them soon thereafter. Yamcha was surprised that Snead was not able to save them from the cops.

Chàoxing Gon
In chapter 2, Silver Snead's bandit detachment found a host of yakuza digging up money in the middle of the desert. They attacked the yakuza, and a bloody firefight unfolded in which many of the bandits and all of the yakuza (save for one) were killed. The single yakuza who survived snuck up on the surviving bandits later on, while they were digging up the yakuza's money, shot Wheatty, took Yamcha hostage, and nearly got Rico to give up before Silver Snead sniped him in the back of the head. As the man died, he fired an errant shot that took Rico in the neck, killing him as well.

In chapter 3, when she met with Mazuchiru, Yunwu requested the services of 500 of his yakuza soldiers for the upcoming bandit war. He agreed, and she gave him thirty million zeni (taken from Wolfe's stores) to pay for them. Mazuchiru promised his yakuza would help her take over the Diablo Desert in the near future.

Chàoxing Gon slaves
In chapter 2, these slaves were being used by the Chàoxing Gon yakuza to dig up hidden money barrels in the desert. After the battle between Wolfe's Wings and the yakuza, they pleaded for mercy and were taken back to Wolfe's hideout by the bandits. Yamcha later noted that he could hear their screams coming from a distant room as he was doing the dishes.

Rico
In chapter 2, Rico was part of the detachment with Yamcha sent to patrol the Diablo Desert. They stole goods and valuables from several travelers in the desert. Later, he participated in the battle against the Chàoxing Gon yakuza. He was part of the second bandit truck that survived. Following the battle, he stayed with Wheatty, Silver Snead, and Yamcha to dig up the barrels of money. However, a single yakuza survived the firefight and snuck up on the surviving bandits while they were digging up the yakuza's money barrels. He shot Wheatty, took Yamcha hostage, and nearly got Rico to give up before Silver Snead sniped him in the back of the head. As the man died, he fired an errant shot that took Rico in the neck, killing him as well.

Daniel Parroda
In chapter 2, Wolfe told Yunwu that he had a bottle of whiskey from Parroda's estate that was worth 200,000 zeni. He offered her a glass and drank two himself.

Bulldogs
In chapter 2, as Wolfe and Yunwu were discussion the impending gang war between Wolfe's Wings and the Night Snakes, Wolfe stated that at the end of the war, there would be no more gangs left except for his - no more Night Snakes, no more Bulldogs, no more One-eyed Jackalopes. He intended to destroy all of them.

One-eyed Jackalopes
In chapter 2, as Wolfe and Yunwu were discussion the impending gang war between Wolfe's Wings and the Night Snakes, Wolfe stated that at the end of the war, there would be no more gangs left except for his - no more Night Snakes, no more Bulldogs, no more One-eyed Jackalopes. He intended to destroy all of them.

In chapter 3, Wolfe used Ren to relay a message to the leaders of the One-eyed Jackalopes. She told them that Wolfe's men had shot down the wrong plane and that it had just been an accident - nothing to start a war over. The men refused to listen to her, however, as they had expected Wolfe himself to meet with them. She then gave them a gift - a black scorpion inside a box that bit one of the leaders as soon as he opened it. Then, Wolfe began sniping the bandits from afar, leading to chaos. Ren tried to run away, but she was shot in the back and collapsed into the dirt without more than a whimper. After Wolfe and his gang finished off the One-eyed Jackalope leaders, he ordered Rosey to have Mingo stitch the girl up and take her back to the hideout, where Doc was waiting to save her life. He then joined the rest of his hundred bandits to drive to the base of the One-eyed Jackalopes, intending to utterly wipe them out that night with some of the explosives Yunwu had given him. During this sequence, Wolfe also reminisced about a previous leader of the One-Eyed Jackalopes whom he had killed himself, noting that his replacements had proven to be far weaker men than he had been.

King Furry's Captain of the Guard
In chapter 2, Yunwu told Wolfe that she would need him to lead an assassination mission on King Furry's Captain of the Guard in the House of the Blue Lotus in South City in three days time. When Wolfe questioned her about this, Yunwu stated that she could not go against Mazuchiru yet, as he could reveal her corruption to the mayor.

In chapter 3, Silver Snead went to South City with Yamcha, Lychrel, Pacheko, and Rheems to assassinate King Furry's Captain of the Guard. He led them and reminded the group that all that mattered was killing the Captain, who was attending a charity dinner on the basement floor of the House of the Blue Lotus. Later on, Yunwu hired Hasky to snipe King Furry's Captain of the Guard in case Wolfe's assassination attempt of the man failed. Afterwards, Mazuchiru asked Yunwu if the Captain of the Guard had been killed yet. She told him he had not, but that he would be dying later that day. She also expressed certainty that Wolfe would lead the mission against the captain, which would ensure his death, but this turned out to not be the case. When the House of the Blue Lotus blew up, he, along with everyone else attending the charity dinner, was killed in the blast.

Yamcha's father
In chapter 2, Yamcha revealed that his father had once been a professional baseball player. The boy's own baseball was a home run his father had hit many years ago to win a game.

Shrewsbry McManus
In chapter 2, Yamcha revealed that the man who had originally caught his father's home run was a portly fellow by the name of Shrewsbry McManus. Yamcha had been able to divert the man's attention by throwing something down the road before stealing the ball from his hands and running away. McManus had not pursued him, as he had been too fat to run after the boy.

Pacheko
In chapter 2, it was revealed that Pacheko was one of the bandits Wolfe had tasked with assassinating King Furry's Captain of the Guard by blowing up the House of the Blue Lotus.

In chapter 3, Pacheko went to South City with Silver Snead, Yamcha, Lychrel, and Rheems to assassinate King Furry's Captain of the Guard. It was soon revealed that Wolfe had specifically put Pacheko on Silver Snead's team due to the man being his most trusted demolitions expert. Once they made their way inside the House of the Blue Lotus, he began arming the explosives after Rheems showed him where to put them. Snead then instructed Lychrel and Yamcha to help him. Soon after, Pacheko accidentally set off one wall of explosives, killing himself and damaging the whorehouse significantly.

Rheems
In chapter 2, it was revealed that Rheems was one of the bandits Wolfe had tasked with assassinating King Furry's Captain of the Guard by blowing up the House of the Blue Lotus.

In chapter 3, Rheems went to South City with Silver Snead, Yamcha, Lychrel, and Pacheko to assassinate King Furry's Captain of the Guard. It was soon revealed that Wolfe had specifically put Rheems on Silver Snead's team due to the man being his most trusted logistical expert (apparently he had been to the House of the Blue Lotus many times before). Once they made their way inside the House of the Blue Lotus, he showed Pacheko where to put the explosives. He then moved to the counter to sweet-talk the host in an attempt to prevent her from calling the police. Later on, he helped the others set the explosives up while flirting with Lychrel. She revealed to Rheems that she had once desired to work in a place like the House of the Blue Lotus, as she had always wanted to be a dancer. Rheems asked her to show him her moves, but she declined, stating she hadn't practiced in a while. Then Snead told them both to shut up and get back to work. Soon after, Pacheko accidentally set off one wall of explosives, killing himself and damaging the whorehouse significantly. In the explosion, Lychrel's right eye burst and much of her face and body was burnt. But instead of helping her escape, Rheems ran outside by himself. Snead and Yamcha helped carry her out of the building where they ran into a crowd of people and a host of cops. The cops arrested the four bandits soon thereafter.

Red Ribbon Army
In chapter 3, the mayor of South City noted that Colonel Violet's Children of Chaos did not work for the Red Ribbon Army.

Doctor Faustus
In chapter 3, Doctor Faustus checked up on the mayor of South City in the Children of Chaos' Yunzabit Heights research facility. He asked the mayor if he had been having hallucinations to which the mayor lied by denying that such activity was continuing to take place. He warned the mayor that he would have to start attending the NUL meetings again or else he would be returned to South City. The mayor assured him he would. The doctor then gave him anti-hallucination medication and left. Just before that, the mayor nearly set the mysterious monster in the box loose upon them both before thinking better of it.

The Mayor's doctor
In chapter 3, Doctor Faustus indicated that the mayor's doctor had sent him to the Children of Chaos' Yunzabit Heights research facility to be treated.

Sergeant Tyrian
In chapter 3, the mayor of South City went to Sergeant Tyrian of the Children of Chaos and detailed to the man his plan to kill the members of NUL with the Yalung beast. He requested Tyrian find eight men to carry the box down to their meeting chamber sometime in the future. Tyrian told him that Colonel Violet would not be able to visit him again for several weeks, due to ongoing operations with the Red Ribbon Army. However, he still gave the mayor another package of heroin.

South City pedestrians
In chapter 3, when Yamcha went to South City with Silver Snead's detachment, he was given a flier for the Shapeshifting Academy by a strange leprechaun-looking man. He also noticed a man who had crashed his hovercar into a lightpost. When the leprechaun-looking man attempted to give a flier to another man, that man punched him in annoyance, and they both disappeared into the crowds in the street. It was later revealed that all of the pedestrians inside the first floor of the House of the Blue Lotus were able to escape except for one man Silver Snead shot. Some were killed when the House of the Blue Lotus was destroyed. Many others gathered around outside the building as Yamcha, Snead, Rheems, and Lychrel fled from it. One man even spit at Yamcha's feet, so disgusted by their actions was he.

professors
In chapter 3, when Yamcha went to South City with Silver Snead's detachment, he was given a flier for the Shapeshifting Academy by a strange leprechaun-looking man. On the flier, Professors Pondanuki, Pongitsune, Ponnabubi, and Pongabubjus were stated as being world-class shapeshifters.

House of the Blue Lotus dancers
In chapter 3, several topless dancers were seen inside the House of the Blue Lotus. When Yamcha beheld them, he began to freak out, causing them to stop dancing and gawk at him. Rheems then moved to the counter to sweet-talk the host in an attempt to prevent her from calling the police. Later on, Yamcha whispered to one of them that there was a bomb inside the whorehouse, allowing all of the girls to flee before it went off.

Yamcha's mother
In chapter 3, Yamcha revealed that he had once lived with his mother in a whorehouse like the House of the Blue Lotus for four years.

In chapter 3, Yunwu met with Hasky, buying several military-grade weapons from her. Yunwu felt like she did not get a very good price for the weapons, but needed them bad enough to pay what Hasky wanted for them. Then, she hired Hasky to snipe King Furry's Captain of the Guard in case Wolfe's assassination attempt of the man failed. Later on, Yamcha spotted Hasky in the crowd outside the House of the Blue Lotus (though he knew not who she was), being entranced by her beauty and desperately wishing that someone like her could save him, but in the next moment, she disappeared.

Captain Fortier
In chapter 3, after Naigo and Makare refused to fight in the bandit war for Yunwu's side, she sent Captain Fortier and a detachment of guards after the two, ordering them to kill the samurai. However, Fortier and his men were cut down by Makare and Naigo.

Wolfe's rival
In chapter 3, Wolfe thought back to how he had killed his first rival, a member of the One-eyed Jackalopes, by pouring a bucket of black scorpions on him as he had slept. Referencing this, he presented a black scorpion in a box to the new leaders of that gang in that chapter.

Rosey
In chapter 3, after Wolfe attacked the One-eyed Jackalope leaders and Ren was shot, he ordered Rosey to have Mingo stitch the girl up and take her back to the hideout, where Doc was waiting to save her life. He also threatened Rosey's life if Ren died, to which Rosey fearfully replied that he would make sure to save Ren.
