Honest

Honest was 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 round, middle-aged man with light skin, gray hair, dark yellow eyes, and a long white beard that extends down to his abdomen. He often sports a sinister, toothy grin whenever he is plotting something nefarious. He wears a pair of brown boots, a dark green shirt, a belt below his belly and short pants which are also dark green, and a gray coat with some hair of an animal around his neck, resembling a bourgeois.

Personality
Wicked by nature, Honest is a heartless, cruel and sadistic human being. He is pleased to mentally abuse people with the power he has, and he does not care about the country or the people around him begging for his help for a better life. In nearly every scene he appears in, he is always seen gorging himself on food with little care for his table-manners. He is implied to be a cannibal as shown when he oversees the Emperor ordering the execution of an innocent man while voicing his approval, and smugly tells him that he'll make sure to take "care of his wife... every single part of her" while casually chowing down on some food. This is later confirmed when he tells Leone that he will devour her and that he speaks form experience when he says that young girls are quit pleasing to his palate. He suspects her womb will be the most tasty as well, once again confirming that he has eaten some unfortunate young girls. Honest appears to be a rich supremacist who thinks he is above everyone else. He is able to commit any atrocity possible, in order for him to get a higher power.

On the surface, he is a quiet man and appears to be gentle and soft-spoken in almost all his interactions with the young emperor. However, behind the mask of man who appears to be responsible, hides a demon who shows no sympathy for any human in the world. He does not regret anything cruel in what he does, seeing them as nothing more than another step to achieve his goals of getting more power over the country.

He also shows a like of the psychological suffering of people, making them feel like nothing and making them fear him. Honest always hides his facial expressions when he speaks of something that can make a person be intimidated by fear and always hides the true monster that he is behind his jolly facade.

History
It is stated that the Emperor only won the battle of succession due to the Prime Minister's influence and planning. The Prime Minister before him was Chouri, a man that was a kindhearted, but strong willed and a strong 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, and he is also known to have one blood relative named Iwokura, who was killed by Night Raid. At some point in his life, Honest took up martial arts in order to better himself as a fighter.

During the final battle against the Empire, Honest encountered Leone. Honest managed to fend off and fatally shoot Leone in the abdominal area before dropping her from the castle's balcony to her supposed death. With the fall of the Emperor and the death of Esdeath, Honest attempted to flee the building only to be caught in a secret passage by Leone who had managed to revive herself by fusing with her Teigu. Honest attempted to shoot Leone, but was horrified when she caught all of the bullets with ease before proceeding to pierce through the stomach, exposing his intestines. Despite his pleas to spare him, Leone ignored and threw him off the balcony to the courtyard where he was immediately captured by the revolutionaries. Due to his special physical training, Honest was forced to suffer a long series of torture where various rebels took turns mutilating him as a means of revenge. Records of his execution were later left public and his gruesome demise was kept uncensored.

Equipment and Skills
Honest uses the Teigu Erastone, it takes the form of a crown and allows him to destroy an opponent's Teigu. However, it can't be used for a week after activating its effect. He is also capable of eating unusual substances, such as a spear, seemingly without detrimental side effects. Despite his obesity, he possesses great strength and has quick reflexes. He is a skilled fighter and was able to briefly overpower Leone, a prominent hand-to-hand fighter who possessed a strength enhancing Teigu. Honest claims his physical prowess comes from rigorous training he had undergone in his youth in order to attain vast longevity, as well as consuming healthy nutrients. During his battle with Leone, he was seen wielding a gun.
