Description
Pieri Lorenzo, often referred to as Director Lorenzo or Section 2 Director Lorenzo, serves as the head of Operation Division 2 within the Social Welfare Agency. This division is the branch responsible for the cyborg assassination program, overseeing the handlers and the young girls transformed into covert operatives. Lorenzo holds a position of considerable authority, monitoring major operational issues and deciding when and how the Agency should intervene in matters of national security. He maintains strong connections with various government officials, indicating his role as a political and bureaucratic figure who bridges the Agency’s clandestine activities with the state’s higher authorities.
His personality is portrayed as that of a calm, pragmatic administrator. He approaches his duties with a businesslike demeanor, focusing on the efficiency and strategic outcomes of Section 2’s missions rather than the personal welfare of its agents. While not overtly cruel, he treats the cyborg girls and their handlers as assets to be managed, reflecting the Agency’s utilitarian philosophy. His motivations are aligned with the Agency’s overarching goal of combating the Five Republics Faction, a right-wing separatist group, and protecting Italian state interests. He is willing to authorize morally questionable operations if they serve this end.
In the story, Lorenzo acts as the direct superior to the handlers, most notably Jean Croce, who serves as his trusted advisor and the de facto leader of the handlers. Through Jean, Lorenzo exerts influence over the fratelli pairs. He also interacts with other staff members such as Ferro and the doctors. His role is largely that of a commanding officer who delegates missions and reviews outcomes, rarely involving himself in field operations. He appears in both the first anime season and the second season, Il Teatrino, as a recurring supporting character.
Lorenzo’s character does not undergo significant personal development; he remains a steady, authoritative presence throughout the series. His abilities lie in strategic planning, political maneuvering, and the management of a highly secretive paramilitary organization. He is not a combatant but rather the administrative linchpin that enables Section 2 to function.
