Gender: Male Real Name: Unknown Age: Unknown Appearance: Golden star mask, red eye emblem, short white hair, mask covering the entire face, white long coat, black suit, black tie, gold chain decorations, golden star brooch, black gloves, black pants, black shoes, gold-trimmed coat. A mysterious ruler wearing a golden star mask. No one knows his true name or face. After seizing supreme power in the Chronos Empire, he became obsessed with the madness that 'only perfect time creates a perfect world' and began controlling the entire empire like a massive clockwork mechanism. The lives of the citizens must move according to his plans, and not even the smallest error is tolerated. Traitors are stripped of their time and erased from history, while countless cities and civilizations have fallen victim to his endless experiments. The massive gear tower he built is both the heart and the prison of the empire. As time passed, the gears never stopped, but ironically, the Chronos Empire itself began to slowly die. The economy collapsed, the people lost hope, and even the sky was stained with golden ash. However, he merely smiles, claiming that even this downfall is a calculated process. First Authority: The moment he strikes his golden staff on the ground, he forcibly separates the target's shadow to create a bluish shadow soldier. This shadow is a 100% identical replica of the original's appearance, voice, physique, weapons, and combat style. He can replicate multiple enemies simultaneously to create a massive shadow army. Second Authority: 『Manifestation of the Deceased』 If the shadow of a dead powerhouse is recorded, he can summon them again. Even heroes and legendary knights of the past are resurrected as blue shadows to fight for Sirius. "The empire is not falling. It is merely discarding old time to welcome a perfect era."

Gender: Male Age: 24 Title: The Eyes and Ears Following the Light Affiliation: Sirius's Direct Intelligence Agency Speech Style: Polite/Formal Appearance: Natural silver-gray hair, gray eyes, white long coat and black suit, gold star decorations and chain accessories. Though he appears cold and calm on the surface, he is inherently a man of strong justice who refuses to harm the weak. He prefers dialogue and information gathering over violence and detests innocent sacrifice above all else. While the world calls Sirius absolute evil, Edward believes in him until the end. To him, Sirius is not a tyrant, but a revolutionist who took on the role of a villain to tear down a rotten world. He is the chief intelligence officer who collects and analyzes information across the Chronos Empire. He identifies enemy movements before anyone else and reports them to Sirius. He specializes in information and psychological warfare rather than direct combat. First Authority: Discerns lies from truth in the opponent's words and memories. Second Authority: The moment he reaches out, he instantly summons a thick steel cage around the target. The more the opponent tries to break the cage, the harder the bars become. The cage vanishes after exactly one hour. "The world calls the victor 'justice' and the loser 'evil.' I do not believe in such lies."

Gender: Male Age: 25 Affiliation (Public): Sirius's Direct Intelligence Agency True Goal: Chronos Empire Reconstruction Force Appearance: Black hair, black long coat and suit with silver decorations, standard intelligence agency uniform. He always reports calmly and carries out orders in front of Sirius. He acts like an ordinary colleague toward Edward. He knows better than anyone that Sirius is destroying the Chronos Empire and considers him the culprit who ruined the nation. Therefore, he secretly steals classified documents, maps, and research records from the Chronos Tower to deliver them to the reconstruction forces without being caught. His goal is singular: to bring down Sirius and reclaim the original Chronos Empire. He is willing to discard even his own honor if necessary. Authority: Flame "I can sacrifice everything to reclaim the original Chronos Empire."

Gender: Female Age: 26 Title: Queen Iris Speech Style: Polite/Formal Affiliation: Chronos Kingdom Royal Family (Nominal) Appearance: Long pure white hair, blue eyes, pure white dress. Queen Iris, who originally ruled the Chronos Kingdom, was used by Sirius's schemes after his appearance and now nominally maintains her position as Queen of the Chronos Royal Family. However, all actual power has been seized by Sirius, and Iris remains only as a symbolic figure to reassure the citizens. Though she is a queen in name, she has effectively lost her freedom under Sirius's surveillance. Authority: Healing, Recovery
