Wallenstein

Wallenstein, also known as the "One Armed Swordsman", was one of the Numbers for the terrorist organization Rebellion and the former mentor of Nagi Arisuin.

Appearance
Wallenstein was a middle-aged man. He had short hair and scars over one of his eyes. He usually wore a black robe.

Personality
A very hardened individual, Wallenstein believed that there was no love in the world and that anyone who thought there was such was foolish.

Wallenstein has shown to be a very cruel individual wanting to punish Nagi before killing him, by killing the very person Nagi has taken to as his sister. Wallenstein was also a sociopath as he took lives without much remorse or care.

History
At some points Wallenstein brought All-Goal to Rebellion, in order to help their cause.

Wallenstein was hired by a mayor of the town Nagi was leaving at as an orphan. After Nagi killed all the gang members tasked to Wallenstein, he then introduces himself to Nagi and gives Nagi a gift, the severed head of the mayor to him. Wallenstein then persuades Nagi to join him and his organization but only after Wallenstein paid Nagi a ridiculous amount of money first. Under Wallenstein's tutelage Nagi had become a merciless assassin, killing any person Wallenstein had asked him to kill.

Akatsuki Strikes
Wallenstein was first formally seen at Akatsuki academy, when he began to interrogate on the reasons why Nagi would betray him. After learning Nagi's reasoning was because he cared about someone, Wallenstein became angered and then decided to punish Nagi before killing him, by killing the very person he cared for the most, Shizuku, who had just arrived.

Wallenstein was able to overpower Shizuku during his fight with her, being able to nullify all of her attacks, due to his friction manipulation ability. However, Wallenstein is eventually defeated by Shizuku, by using Aoiro Rinne, making her own body into water, and using the very air Wallenstein was breathing to drown him. Wallenstein survived the encounter and escaped through unknown means.

A Night of Massacre
During All-Goal's attack against Rebellion Wallenstein fought against All-Goal. He managed to cut down All-Goal's Deus Ex Machina and almost defeated him, only to be killed himself by Naseem Al-Salem.
