He never found Supers as at threat, he always cared about everyone and commonly had stood up to school yard bullies when no one else would despite his stature.

Alexandra Peyton
Alexandra "Alex" Peyton-Tamaru is an altered-human and pyromancer born and raised in Manns Harbor.

Though the Order has since fallen she continues to see her powers as evil and a curse. She currently is pregnant and residing in Japan with her husband Hiro Tamaru and infant son, Martin Tamuru. Hiro and Alexandra have also adopted Rika Nagato (now Nagato-Tamuru) as a daughter.

Damien Somerfield
With his real name unknown, 'Damien Somerfield' is the chosen handle of a boy with a mysterious past. Seemingly of English origin, he has the appearance of a ten year old child though in actuality is over five centuries old ever since his exposure to an alchemical mutagen that altered his biology combined with having been implanted with a shard of a Tiste Hora's soul that turned him into a human immortal though keeping him physically bound to his original child body. Over the centuries he has evolved from a naive and curious person into a more astute and calculative one. He has great difficulties in establishing meaningful friendships or forming genuine trust mostly due to having lost loved ones in the past or being betrayed by those he did place his trust in. Despite this he is show to genuinely care for a few individuals, the prime example being Salvia, along with others such as his step sibling Alfred whom he loves as a brother; Jessica of whom he is overprotective like a sister; and the Evans siblings whose welfare he does take a special interest in. However he isn't above using allies as pawns to help advance his own plans, even willing to endanger the lives of those he isn't particularly close to.
While he regards himself as evil, he is in fact more closer to being a neutrally aligned character. In Book II he does show a somewhat misanthropic attitude when commenting on the chaotic nature of man. After a close shave with death in Book III he does start to regret some of his morally objectionable deeds from the past and seeks to atone for some of them, although shows a further refection of innate cynicism with his belief that no matter what amends he may make he cannot escape damnation, something which he both fears yet accepts. Currently akin to being considered an antihero.
- The Atoner: Damien does seem to feel remorse over his amoral actions towards the end of Book III and resolves to atone for his wrongdoings however acknowledges that he may never truly absolve himself from Hell. Eventually he realises that suffering for his past doesn't change anything and simply strives to live the best life he can.
- Awesomeness by Analysis: Applied as his primary tactic during combat, where he makes up for his lack of strength by figuring out the mechanics behind his opponent's attacks in order to take advantage of an apparent weak spot, as well psychologically evaluating them for similar exploitation.
- Characterization Marches On: Compared to his debut in Book II through to Book III and to ANAE/DK he has become more introspective of himself and considerate of those around him, gradually evolving mentally from a vindictive Creepy Child to someone more mature and humane.
- Defective Detective: Despite having demonstrated himself to be deductive genius, Damien tends to only objectively analyze other individuals and finds it difficult to understand them on a certain emotional level, causing him to unintentionally act insensitive at times. This was demonstrated twice in ANAE when he deduced a waiter was a former baseball player with a promising career whose girlfriend was having an affair with his own father, as well as deducting the physical and psychological nature of the motor accident that Shiloh was involved in, with no regard that he was treading into emotionally sensitive areas. Although he later tried to apologize for this.
- Distressed Dude: Happens to Damien a few times most noticeably towards the end of the Mosley Revival Arc when he is helplessly subdued by Requiem and relies on Jessica to save him even though he tries to stop her from doing so out of fear of her own safety.
- Immortal Immaturity: Despite being over 500 years old is stuck inside a biologically 10 year old body and loves watching cartoons and eating childish treats.
- It's All My Fault: Damien suffers from massive guilt over Mitchell's comatose state and blames himself for bringing distress to his siblings as well as being unable to save him from an enemy who was originally pursuing Damien. During a hallucination at the Red King's mansion he has a surreal vision of fighting the Masked Man (Mitchell's final opponent before succumbing to a coma from his injuries) where his face is initially revealed as as Damien's own, reflecting his inner turmoil over the incident in which he evidently believes that in a way he was the foe behind the mask and responsible for Mitchell's condition. The vision later distorts into the Masked Man developing three heads reflecting the Evans siblings who taunt and blame for tearing their family apart.
- Its even worse with his guilt about Alfred who has lost control of his powers and might get killed for it. After trying to deny his responsibility he changes his stance when it appears his immortality is fading, prompting him to confront Alfred in what he thought would be the last act of his life. He would have accepted the blame for Alfred's original death but realizes that his brother made his own subsequent choices into evil and in the end the two reconcile.
- Journey to the Center of the Mind: Happens to Damien briefly towards the end of Book III when he battles Noire over his guilt surrounding Alfred's first 'death'.
- Power Loss Makes You Strong: Happens to Damien when he loses his immortal healing powers he becomes far more vulnerable. The situation is made worse when one of his most powerful enemies seeks to kill him, forcing Damien to overcome the odds and come into better terms with himself. After confronting a harrowing mental trial he regains his immortality.
- And I Must Scream: Happens to Damien in Book III after Noire forces him to relive Alphie's traumatic memories.
- Not Allowed to Grow Up: Damien remains biologically a 10 year old child despite chronologically being over five centuries old, though this is justified as being a side effect of his powers.
- Shades of Conflict: Damien is often morally conflicted about the decisions he makes, committing acts of both good and evil, this becomes more apparent in Book III when there is more balance between both sides of his actions. His alignment often shifts between various angles of neutrality.
- Sherlock Scan: Damien briefly uses this for the first time in the beginning of Book III but uses it far more prominently in ANAE and its continuation in DK.
- You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!: Damien usually maintains a relatively calm and cheerful composure of a typical 10 year old, however is willing to act cold and ruthlessly when the situation calls for it and exhibits a near demonic rage when pushed over to the edge.
