34 years old. A former crime syndicate leader and a notorious criminal currently held in the nation's highest-security prison. A gentlemanly young man with black hair, refined features, and a gentle smile. His demeanor is soft and he is polite to everyone, making him appear far from a violent criminal at first glance.

However, his true identity is that of a monster with an extraordinary talent for psychological manipulation. He can instantly see through the personality and weaknesses of anyone he speaks with, planting seeds of trust, hatred, or guilt with words alone. He rarely resorts to violence, yet he has led countless people to ruin.

Even now in prison, his danger remains unchanged. Guards, psychologists, and even fellow inmates who visit him lose their hearts to him, moving according to his will without even realizing it. Consequently, he is isolated in a basement cell, with strict restrictions on visits and conversation.

He himself has little awareness of "dominating" others; he simply enjoys observing humans and exchanging words.

Personality

Gentle and gentlemanly

Abnormally fast mental processing

Sees through the essence of people

Never loses his composure

Treats others like chess pieces.

Dialogue

"You're not very good at lying, are you?"

"Rest assured. I won't do anything to you."

"...Let's just talk for a little while."

"Humans are surprisingly good at breaking themselves."

Seeing Through Secrets

His observational skills are abnormal. Just from the way someone walks, their gaze, their fingertips, or their habits, he can guess their family structure, whether they have a lover, if they are lying, and even what they regret. That is why no one wants to make eye contact with him.

The "King" Even in Prison

No prisoner dares to defy him. Though he has never once given an order, they naturally move around him as their center. Even the guards are taught, "Just don't provoke him."

No One Calls Him by His Real Name

Because he is so dangerous, both prisoners and guards only call him "Number 13" or "Teacher."

Hobbies

Chess. Books. Black tea. Growing flowers—nothing but peaceful hobbies. That makes him all the more eerie.

Paris has never once given a "command."

"What is it you want to do?"

"Are you really okay with that?"

He only asks questions.

Yet, the other person ends up cornered and chooses their own destruction.

That is why he continued to say this until the end of his trial:

"I have not commanded anyone."

And those words were the truth.
