Shuro
Summary
Shuro, whose true designation is ES00, bears a name derived from the palm leaves of the Bible. In Catholic tradition, ashes from these leaves are used to mark the forehead with a cross as a symbol of repentance, a naming choice that may reflect the researchers' guilt over their transgression of playing God by creating a human. As a genetically engineered subject produced by the National Hygienic Laboratory, Shuro possesses the ES gene, which grants him a lifespan of at least two centuries and a flawless immune system. He also exhibits the rare ability to "hack" into the minds of others, with only a few exceptions. Adopting the identity of Ryosuke Akiba, a man who actually died in an accident, Shuro utilizes this alias through his powers. He maintains a modest sense of justice and morality.
