Description
Johannes Hans Kleinman, who prefers to go by the alias Hans Lee, is a hybrid character born from a Chinese devil mother and a German human father. He was raised from birth within the ONLO facility in Obihiro, Hokkaido, as part of the 15th Hybrid Birth Project, specifically the White Group 07. His existence was strictly for research purposes, and as a result, he never had a legal parent-child relationship with his biological parents. During his confinement, he was subjected to numerous experiments, particularly those testing wound healing and his devil traits, and he was kept in near-total isolation.
Physically, Johannes is a tall young man with an average build and long, straight white hair that often covers his left eye. His most distinctive feature is his left eye, which is in a permanent state of devil transformation, possessing a red sclera and a golden-yellow iris. This condition is a direct result of drinking blood to maintain vision in that eye, as he was born almost blind on that side. He typically dresses comfortably in baggy clothes like hoodies and was once seen wearing a cross necklace similar in design to a ring owned by Yuuki Anzai.
His personality is a striking blend of carefree eccentricity and sharp rationality. Johannes is remarkably laid-back and straightforward, often appearing with food in his mouth, even in serious situations. He is blunt, honest, and unafraid to speak his mind, occasionally saying things that are hard to interpret as either truth or a joke. Despite his comedic and humorous side, he is exceptionally level-headed and mature, never letting his emotions control him and resisting emotional manipulation. His moral compass is strong but entirely self-defined; he does not believe a difficult past justifies harmful behavior and lacks sympathy for those who act indiscriminately. While he is often perceived as a hero, earning the nickname The Silver Wolf for saving devils from hunters, he himself claims no sense of justice, stating his interventions are merely coincidental.
Johannes's core motivation is a profound appreciation for freedom, shaped by his isolated upbringing. His initial and most cherished desire was simply to see the endless sky, a concept he had only read about in books and came to see as his only home. When he finally escaped the ONLO facility, it was with the help of a researcher named Midori Anzai, who urged him to flee for real, gave him money, and told him his true name, Johannes Kleeman. After his escape, he traveled extensively to avoid recapture, eventually settling in Tokyo where he began using the alias Hans Lee, a name given to him by an acquaintance named Dr. Feng Jing.
Within the story, Johannes serves as a powerful and enigmatic ally. He is an unofficial member of the F Squad, having no formal affiliation but assisting them in operations. His role is often that of a foil to Yuuki Anzai, another hybrid from the same facility. Unlike Yuuki, who struggles with self-control and identity, Johannes has complete mastery over his hybrid nature and offers blunt, insightful advice. He is instrumental in helping others understand their abilities and limitations, particularly regarding bloodlust control.
His key relationships evolve significantly over the course of the narrative. He initially clashes with Yuuki Anzai due to their contrasting personalities and Yuuki's distrust of his cryptic nature, but they eventually develop a mutual respect and friendship based on their shared experiences. He grows protective of Tsukasa Taira and the other members of the F Squad, though he initially struggles to define these connections. Having been alone most of his life, Johannes does not understand familial bonds and initially sees himself as separate from the group, believing he will eventually be excluded. However, as he spends time with them, he begins to unconsciously view the F Squad, particularly Yuuki and Tsukasa, as his true family and the place he belongs.
In terms of development, his journey is one of finding a place to call home. He moves from a state of detached observation to one of active belonging, later taking on a public role as a poster child for a devil-protection movement before ultimately choosing to return to the F Squad, whom he now considers his real home. He also learns to be more sensitive to the feelings of others, recognizing that his carefree nature could be insensitive.
Johannes possesses notable abilities that set him apart. He is an exceptionally skilled hand-to-hand fighter, possessing immense strength, speed, and agility that allow him to keep up with transformed devils even without transforming himself. His greatest asset is his near-perfect control over his bloodlust, achieved through a strict regimen of drinking small doses of blood each morning and evening. As a result, when he does transform, the change is limited to his left eye, and he retains complete mental clarity and self-control. He has extensive knowledge of devil and hybrid biology, including precise knowledge of how much blood is needed to heal specific injuries. He also understands the connection between a devil's bloodlust and sex drive, having developed personal methods to manage it when it begins to rise.
