Description
Mr. Gentleman is depicted as an immensely ancient and influential figure, claimed to be the true source of power behind the United Kingdom and revered by the British Library as the key to restoring the nation's global dominance. His background reveals that he is not an ordinary human but an entity who has lived for an extraordinary length of time, having already existed for over 500,000 years. Due to his advanced age, he typically appears in the form of an elderly man, a state he maintains to preserve his life energy and which could potentially allow him to live for perhaps another century. However, he is not satisfied with this limited extension of his existence.
In terms of personality, he is characterized by his superior intellect and vast knowledge, though his physical abilities are quite limited. Despite his wisdom, he is prone to dissatisfaction, particularly with the slow progress of his agents, and possesses a deep-seated desire to extend his life even further, driving much of his actions. His primary motivation is to overcome his mortality. To this end, he has pursued various schemes, including capturing his own descendant, Faust, who possesses a significantly longer lifespan, and seeking out the Gutenburg Book. He managed to obtain a single page from this book, known as the Gutenburg paper, and attempted to use Faust to decipher it.
Mr. Gentleman serves as the head of the British Library's Special Operations Division, acting as the commander of Joseph Carpenter, also known as Joker, and authorizing the division's missions. His role in the story is that of a powerful, shadowy puppet master whose ambition sets critical events in motion, such as his pursuit of Faust and the Gutenburg paper. This pursuit led to Faust escaping to the organization Dokusensha, taking the paper master Yomiko Readman with him. His key relationship is with Joseph Carpenter, his subordinate, who is ambitious and deeply involved in Gentleman's plans.
Mr. Gentleman undergoes a notable development when, frustrated by the slowness of his agents and recognizing that only he can face his counterpart, China of Dokusensha, he decides to take direct action. He transforms into his younger form, which he estimates he can only sustain for about a week, and forcibly enters Dokusensha's headquarters. Among his notable abilities is his vastly extended lifespan, far beyond that of a normal human, though he is not truly immortal. His primary assets are his superior intellect and knowledge rather than physical prowess.
