Honest

Prime Minister Honest is the Prime Minister of The Empire and its de-facto ruler as he manipulates the young and naive Emperor Makoto 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 green 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 strongly. 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
It is stated that Emperor Makoto 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 force's (The Three Beasts') tasked to kill him. He is known to have one son, and he is also known to have one blood relative named Iokal, who was killed by Night Raid.
