For six years he lived with his grandmother and grandfather on his mother’s side, offended at his father’s repeated marriage. After their death, he was forced to return to his father. For a long time, he has been trying to figure out who exactly is doing the atrocities on Rokkenjima Island. He has a very difficult relationship with Beatrice, but in the end he learns that she created the game so that he would solve it, find out the truth and remember the events of six years ago, after which he realizes that he loves Beato. For Battler, the important person in life is sister Angie, who did not come to the annual gathering of the family and therefore remained alive.

With the help of Lyambadelta, who sacrificed himself, and Angie, he defeats Frederick Bernkastel and rescues Angie from death. After the tragedy, the island remains alive, but loses its memory.

Since she came from a twelve-year-old future, she has extremely high resistance to magic. This makes her a "witch who hunts witches." While Angie denies the existence of magic, she acknowledges that magic can exist for others. Along with the magic, the girl also has developed close combat skills. In the fourth arch, Buttler does not recognize her, so she takes herself the name "Gretel", hinting to Buttler about the sister he left.

Mary ( Jap. Си 代 宮 真 里亞 Usromiya Maria ) - a child with a tragic fate. Maria is the nine-year-old daughter of young Rosa Usiromiya, who, in fact, is herself a child.

In the eyes of Maria, the mother breaks up the toys donated by Mary - the forest orchestra of hares, which are Siesta, and tears Sakutaro (Favorite teddy lion Mary, whom Rosa sewed to her) in half, killing him. In retaliation, Maria, with the help of Beato, becomes a witch and takes revenge on her mother, torturing her and killing her, as she killed Sakutaro, again and again — she twists her arms and legs, tears her head off and simply tears it in half. Maria is the only one who is trying to help Angie and who knows at least something about the chaos on the island. As it turns out, it was just a dream. Maria loves Beatrice very much, she is passionate about the cult of black magic, and when someone doubts the existence of Beato, Maria is very upset or gloating later when an unbeliever dies. Perhaps that is why when Maria takes revenge on her mother, she assures that she chases away the evil witch who captured the body of “mommy”.

He fell madly in love with a witch and imprisoned her in a secret mansion on the island, although once she disappeared in a mysterious way. Therefore, his hobby became black magic - to once again meet with Beatrice. In fact, he received gold, remaining virtually the only survivor in the battle between the Japanese and the Italians at Roquendim, finding gold in the submarine of the Italians.

His arrogant character made him the main enemy of the brothers and sisters, who also want to be the heirs of Kinzo. He is a real estate investor, and is currently engaged in the supply of funds at the resort. However, he was unable to carry out his plans and all his investments failed. It is known that he was engaged in boxing in his youth, and still has skills in this sport. Unlike his brothers and sisters, he lives on Rockekanjima with his wife, daughter and father.

In the seventh game, in the human world, Klaus and Natsuha are the first children, provided that it was not decided to throw the child off the cliff, this is called the heir to the Usiromiya family and even wears a silver ring: proof that in 20 years will be the head of the family. Loved by the rest of the family, including Kinzo, mostly for quiet speech and good manners. In fact, it is biologically the child of Kinzo and the daughter of his secret Italian lover, Beatrice Castiglioni. Lyon stands out as an aid to Willard while he answers the question “Who killed Beato?”. During the investigation it turns out that Lyon is the culprit. The world where the child Kinzo and Beato are not thrown off the cliff appears with a chance of 1/2456768. Jessica calls her older brother "a respected heir." Lyon finds out that he is “the other side” of Beato and her “salvation”, decides to live for two at whatever cost. After the story is unraveled and Will is removed Lyon appears in a strange theater, where he sees Ang, both of them are chained to chairs. After a quick talk. They are shown a scene in which Kyrie and Rudolph are killed by the whole family, but at the happy moment Eva remains the only survivor. Bernkastel returns Angie to its original state (pieces of meat) and suggests Lyon to see something else interesting. She changes the fragment to the world of Lyon and shows that it lies near the wall with the breast shot. To heighten the amusement, Bernkastel returns Lyon at the moment before the shot to Kyrie. The complete surprise is the appearance of Will, who, with the deft movement of his black sword, cut the world in half. The charge did not hit Lyon, but its essence almost died and blood gushed from the chest. Will calls a witch of miracles into battle, but Lyon makes sure to run as far as possible. In the eighth arch, it turns out that both are saved and taken under the protection of Lambdadelta.

Rudolph ( Jap. 右 代 宮 留 弗夫 Usiromiya Rudorufu ) is the second son of Kinzo and the third in seniority. In his youth, he was known as the inveterate Don Juan. Asumu and Rudolph hid this fact from Battler, and all his life he believed that his mother was Asum. After the death of his wife, Rudolf married Kyrie, his business partner and old friend, which led to a quarrel with his son, who ran away from home for six years. Rudolph still likes to flirt with the girls, although it cannot be said that he is going to change Kyrie. The reason for his participation in the pursuit of inheritance - the desire to establish a law office in America. He loves Westerns and shoots accurately. Rudolph - one of the real culprits of the tragedy on Rokkandzime.

Kyrie ( Jap. 右 代 宮 霧 江 Usiromiya Kirie ) is Rudolph's second wife and Battler's stepmother. He does not call her "mother", treating Kyrie rather as an older sister worthy of respect. She is known for her signature “turn of the board”, thereby influencing the play between Battler and Beatrice.

He treats the girl unreasonably cruelly, the deepest kindness can instantly be replaced by a flash of anger and, again, by deep repentance. Rosa, in her childhood memories, met a real woman who later became Beatrice, terrorizing the island throughout the series, the mistress of Kinzo, who once lived on an island in a secret estate. In her eyes, Beatrice falls off a cliff, dying in her human incarnation. Rosa always dreamed of escaping from the island, in her childhood, like Mary, she had rather naive dreams, who used Eva-Beatrice for their creepy games, then putting a cake on Rosa and Maria, forcing them to choke on jelly, then throwing off their height, as if wanting to help Rosa finally fly away from the island.

Servants

There are many servants in the house of the head. Most of them were brought up in a shelter that belonged to Kinzo, and on duty, use pseudonyms ending in -one ( jap. ) . It is assumed that they were created by Kinzo through alchemy, and therefore they are allowed to wear the Eagle on the form. The rest are ordinary people hired by Kraus and Natsuhi.

Shanon ( Jap. 音 音 Xianon ) - a young maid in the estate, the same age as Jessica. Her real name is Sayo ( Jap. 紗 代 ) . Made by Kinzo's hands in the purest sense, it was created without resorting to the power of demons.
She had many shortcomings in functions, but she received an unusual thing, a heart. From his own experience, Kinzo believed that strong magical power was able to create a heart. After a long time, she developed defense forces and barriers. For this reason, at least with respect to the strength of its barriers, she is an advanced class magician of power.
She has a habit of making mistakes when she is nervous, despite the fact that she is extremely talented and hardworking. She is Canon's older sister, and also considers herself furniture. However, she falls in love with George. In the second arch breaks the mirror, sealing part of the power of Beatrice in exchange for a spell, thanks to which she and George were able to be together. In the first arch, she accepted his proposal: when she was found dead, the ring was on a ring finger. It is believed that Shannon has magical powers that allow her to create barriers and shields, interrupt magical attacks, thanks to Zapar. She very often recalled Butler, quoting his embarrassing speeches and asking Rudolph about him every year. In fact, Shannon is one of the roles created by Yasu. Yasu is the grandson of Kinzo (due to the act of incest), Usiromiya Lyon, the adopted child Natsuhi and the Third Beatrice. It was she who wanted Battler to remember the events of six years ago.

Canon ( Jap. 音 音 Canon ) - a young butler and gardener on the estate. His real name is Yoshiya ( jap. 哉 ) . It was created last by Kinzo. Thanks to the experience that has accumulated over that time, he performed his duties without any criticism. The canon also got a heart, but it turned out to be rather weak compared to Shannon.
Kinzo empowered Canon with some fighting and defensive forces, and also personally taught to fire a gun.
He is a serious and ardent servant who carries out orders carefully. The canon is fragile, a little cold and non-communicative. It is believed that Shannon is two years older. He is very attached to his sister and says with gratitude about her: "Thank you for teaching me to see the ocean in blue ... If it were not for her, I would not have become what I am now." However, at first, he is extremely disapproving of her feelings for George, because he believes that she should not love, because she is just a thing. But he loves Jessica himself and carefully hides his feelings, mostly because he considers himself a thing, and later he admits that he wants to understand why they fell in love with each other. However, it is shown that he still deeply wants to become a full-fledged man, and hopes to do so in Golden Earth. In the sixth arch, he still confesses his feelings to Jessica, and they become a couple. He is ready to do everything to be with Jessica as a person and be worthy of her love. Thanks to a contract with Furfur, Canon is able to use a red light blade in battle. Despite all his pessimism, he has a surprisingly good relationship with others on the island. It is also the role created by Yasu, when he realized that he was a man (because of a fall from a cliff while still a baby, he eventually removed his genitals).

Siesta 45 ( Jap. シ エ ス タ 45 Siesuta Yonju: nd ) is a weapon in a contract with Eva-Beatrice. 45 has a very methodical and timid personality, and her pursuit complex is somewhat strong. This forces her to compensate for her cowardice, for which she receives a scolding from the 410th — rude and confident, despite this, they work like a pair. Since she cannot stand the silence, she sometimes becomes emotionally insecure if someone does not always order her. 45 has excellent abilities in finding the enemy and solving orders. The power of the battle of the sisters is multiplied by its support.

Siesta 410 ( Jap. シ エ ス タ 410 Siesuta yon-iti-maru ) is a weapon in a contract with Eva-Beatrice. 410 is a child whose personality tends to make her be arrogant. She has a hobby - to mock and laugh at the "little people" who are serious, so she does not like 45 and Lucifer. She talks concisely about everything, but she loves company and easily gives way to loneliness. She is depressed if someone does not always care about her. The 410 has excellent abilities to destroy and seize control, and shows incomparable power in battle.

Siesta 00 ( Jap. シ エ ス タ 00 Siesuta daburu O ) is the commander of Siesta, prudent, cruel and domineering. She has no eye (right, closed bandage). She has a shabby uniform, and is believed to be the strongest Siesta.

Siesta 556 ( Jap. シ エ ス タ 556 Siesuta Gogoroku ) - the deceased Siesta. Since Siesta appeared from the hare-soldiers of Mary, it was this Siesta that Rosa Usiromiya smashed. This explains her non-participation in the plot.

In the sixth arch the number of Siestas was increased hundreds of times to protect the Cathedral of Illusions.
