Description
Hairein is a Neighbor from the planet-nation of Aftokrator, where he serves as the head of House Veltiston, one of the four noble families that rule the empire. His position grants him immense political and military authority, and he leads the expeditionary force sent to invade Earth and Mikado City. He is the wielder of a powerful Black Trigger named Alektor.
In terms of personality, Hairein is a careful, calculating, and highly effective strategist. He is deeply focused on accomplishing the objectives of his mission and his family. Despite his role as an invader, he displays a notable sense of ethics and a degree of pacifism; he prefers tactics that divide enemy forces and concentrates on capturing less dangerous adversaries, specifically C-rank agents, to minimize casualties. He is also known to be a clever manipulator, capable of managing the delicate power balance within Aftokrator's ruling hierarchy. In a lighter but characteristic detail, he is said to fear his ally Mira due to her cruel and sadistic personality. His personal preferences include having capable subordinates, employing diversionary tactics, spending time with his family, and enjoying a peaceful life.
Hairein's motivations are rooted in the political and existential realities of Aftokrator. The nation faces a crisis related to the need for a new "god," a powerful entity that sustains their world. As the head of a major house, his goal is to secure a suitable candidate for this role. A primary reason for raiding Earth was to find such a candidate, with the prodigiously talented Chika Amatori being a specific target he refers to as the "Golden Chick". A secondary political motivation is tied to his family's power. It is revealed that if a suitable candidate could not be found on Earth, he would propose the head of a rival house, House Ellin, to become the new god, a move that would reduce his own power but potentially start a conflict he could leverage. His actions, including abandoning his subordinate Hyuse, are calculated steps in this larger political game.
Hairein's role in the story is that of the primary antagonist and mastermind behind the large-scale invasion of Mikado City. He commands his team from the Aftokrator ship, orchestrating the deployment of Trion soldiers and the powerful humanoid weapons known as Rabbits. He enters the battlefield personally only when the situation calls for it, such as when his subordinates fail to capture Chika. His strategic acumen is highlighted by the fact that, according to the precognitive agent Jin, the outcome of the invasion was only the second or third best scenario that Jin could foresee, yet Hairein still managed to successfully abduct over thirty C-rank agents before being forced to retreat.
Hairein has several key relationships. He appears to care about the opinion of his brother, Lamvanein. His relationship with Mira is complex; they work together effectively, but he is known to fear her sadistic streak. He is the commanding officer of several powerful operatives, including Viza, Enedra, and Hyuse, though he demonstrates a willingness to sacrifice the latter two to achieve his political goals. On the Border side, he directly engages in combat with agents such as Kohei Izumi, Kyosuke Karasuma, and Shuji Miwa, whose Trigger compatibility posed a significant challenge to Hairein's abilities.
Throughout his development in the story, Hairein is consistently portrayed as a calculating and adaptable commander. He meticulously researches Earth before the invasion. When his initial plans go awry and his subordinates fail, he adapts by deploying himself and using his Black Trigger to turn the tide. A significant moment of development is the revelation of his true political machinations, showing that his objectives extended beyond the simple capture of a god candidate; he also had a hidden agenda to reshape the power structure of Aftokrator by orchestrating the abandonment of Hyuse and the death of Enedra. Even in retreat, he is able to piece together that Border had a key player with foresight guiding their defense, demonstrating his sharp intellect.
Hairein's abilities are formidable, owing to his high trion levels and his unique equipment. His trion receptors, the two horns on his head, grant him an immense and high-quality trion reserve, allowing him to use his Black Trigger for extended periods. His primary weapon is the Black Trigger Alektor, which manifests as an ovoid core that hovers over his hand. From this core, he generates animal-shaped bullets that he can control with remarkable precision. The unique and devastating effect of these bullets is that they destabilize and cube any trion construct they touch. A person hit by this effect is neutralized and sealed in an indestructible trion cube, along with their Triggers, rendering them unable to fight or escape. Hairein is a masterful user of Alektor, capable of deploying multiple bullet types simultaneously for complex attacks. For personal defense, he wears an armored cape that can deflect gunfire and even shed parts affected by Lead Bullets, immediately regenerating the lost sections. His skill and command are reflected in official parameters, where he scores a perfect 40 in trion and a total of 123 points out of a possible 150, with his lowest scores being in mobility, range, command, and special tactics, highlighting his role as a powerful but calculated commander rather than a pure front-line fighter.
