Honest

Honest is the Prime Minister of The Empire and its de-facto ruler, manipulating the young and naive Emperor to do everything his way. He is the primary antagonist of the series.

Appearance
Honest is a large, tall man with amber eyes and long grey hair and beard, as well as a mustache. He wears a grey jacket with a brown belt, green pants and brown boots, with a white coat on top. He has several rings on his fingers and wears a crown with three horn-like decorations.

Personality
Honest is a prideful and ambitious man with a great lust for power. He hates Night Raid and the Revolutionary Army deeply. He cares very little for anything besides himself and his position; even the death of his own son, Syura, had little impact on him. Usually, he is shown to have a cheerful attitude which is enough to deceive the young Emperor about the Minister's true intentions. He is quite emotional and his mood can change in a snap.

Honest is very gluttonous and is often seen eating.

History
In the past, Honest schemed against the previous emperor, poisoning him and later his wife to death. Shortly after that Honest uses his influence and scheming to allow the current emperor to win the battle of succession. The Prime Minister before him was Chouri a kindhearted, but strong willed man and a reliable adviser to the former emperor, who desired to return to the Capital to stop the decline of the Empire. When the Prime Minister became aware of this, he had Esdeath's forces tasked to kill him. He is known to have one son, as well as one blood relative named Iokal, who were both killed by Night Raid.
