Run

Ran is a member of the Jaegers and by far the most mysterious one in the group. He is shown to be well mannered, intelligent, and capable of deductive reasoning on par with Esdese.

Appearance
Ran is a fair blonde male with yellow eyes. He has a white feather pin behind his ear and wears a white robe with a brown belt.

Personality
Ran is calm, collective, and polite. He has never been shown to raise his voice or give in to anger, and appears to be determined to make his goals a reality.

Despite being seemingly cruel, Ran is still willing to defend civilians, and clearly detests Wild Hunt, hiding his anger regarding the public execution of the Imperial Fist disciples. He also is very caring to his fellow Jaegers, holding Wave back, and being present in the mourning of the other fallen Jaegers.

Bio
He serves as Esdese's personal aide and recent chapters have suggested that he may have ulterior motives in coming to the team. He located Dr. Stylish's secret lab under Esdese's orders. During the "Kill the Jaegers!" arc, he was paired with Esdese and Seryuu, and accompanied her on their mission to attack Najenda, who was later revealed to be a decoy.

He is later seen in the next confrontation between the two parties, attacking Mein, Akame and Raba's Ray, shooting the group down. Shortly after the mission, he and Wave are seen mourning Bors' death. When they return to the capital, they witness the mangled bodies of the Imperial Fist disciples, killed by Wild Hunt. Despite Wave's rage and his own, he holds Wave back, warning him that Shura was the Prime Minister's son.



After Wave recovers from his victory against Shura in a one-on-one fist fight, Ran tells them about his goal to change the Empire from the inside and about his past. Formerly a teacher in a peaceful town, he returned from an errand one

day to find all of his students slaughtered. However, because the town wanted to keep its reputation, it covered up the incident rather than investigate it. Seeing this as a problem in the Empire, Ran worked his way up the military (via seducing the town's mayor) to start changing it. That night, Kurome intercepts him on his way out of the building, revealing that she was aware from the conversation the culprit behind the slaughter: Wild Hunt. Agreeing that the group brought no benefit to the Empire, they decide to work together to destroy it.

Ran makes his way to the Wild Hunt's station, to take revenge on the one who killed his students; Kurome interrupts him and joins him, claiming that they are no help to the empire in any way.

Arriving at the base, Ran is greeted by Cosmina who clutches onto his arm, smiling. Ran then lures Champ out of the base as Kurome prevents Cosmina and Enshin from intervening. Ran, with the help of Natala and Doya, manages to pierce Champ with multiple feathers including one in his eye. He then takes out the flower, which Esdese once said was good for torture, and inserts in Champ's stomach which is followed by a stab with a knife as Ran smiles. As Kurome gets cornered by Enshin and Cosmina, but just as they attack, Ran lifts her up with the help from his Teigu. Ran and Kurome get trapped in a whirlwind by Champ's elemental Teigu, and Ran sustains a lot of damage protecting Kurome during a fire explosion. Champ uses his trump card to try and kill Ran, only to get it deflected by his wings, killing him and leaving only his bones. Cosmina runs to a fallen Ran, claiming that they will have "fun", only for her to get sniped by Mein. Night Raid intervene and Akame and Kurome have a short confrontation, Akame questions why the Jaegers are attacking Wild Hunt. Ran smiles as Kurome claims that they were disturbing the peace and prepares to fight Night Raid. Ran shoots feathers at Night Raid which are blocked by Tatsumi and the two flee together. As Ran falls, accepting his  death with a smile, a mentally unstable Kurome rejects the thought of her comrade dying. Shedding tears, saying "If Ran's gone, Wave will be sad! I don't want you to go too ... Let's stay together for a while longer." She stabs Ran with her Teigu, who shows a face of despair at her choice; enslaving Ran and turning him into her corpse. Kurome stops crying and smiles, happy to keep her comrade "alive", even if he won't be the same. After turning into a corpse, Ran's wings turned black and shows no emotion.

Equipment &amp; Skills
Ran's Teigu is called "Soaring for thousands of miles: Mastema". Its basic skill gives Ran a pair of wings that allow him to fly and unleash piercing feathers to strike foes. It has yet to reveal any other special abilities. He is shown to very fast, being able to keep pace with Esdese's initial attacks when she comes to test the Jaegers.

Relationships
Kurome: When Ran was about to die, Kurome turns him into her corpse puppet using her Teigu out of fear of losing another one of her comrades. Ran, while he cared for her, was horrified by the fact that the Empire had caused such a young girl to become so mentally unstable.

Esdese: Ran is essentially her second-in-command whom she leaves the most delicate tasks to.
