Liver

Liver was the leader of Esdeath's personal bodyguards and the strongest group in her army, known as "The Three Beasts". He was a refined and battle-hardened man, who was deeply loyal to Esdeath.

Bio
He once was an accomplished General in the Empire's army and Bulat's superior years ago. During the Empire's war against the Southern Lands, he was dismissed from his post due to being framed on false charges when he did not give in to the Prime Minister's bribes. At the military tribunal he attempted to valiantly defend himself using his records and merits, but it fell on deaf ears.

After ultimately being left to rot prison for the rest of his life Esdeath appeared, and in a surprising move she freed him on the condition that he would join her army. She valued his abilities and achievements, thinking that it would be a waste to leave him imprisoned. Esdeath also offered him patronage against the Prime Minister and his other enemies. Grateful for being saved and granted a new life back in the military, he became indebted to Esdeath, leading some of her most loyal men. When he and Bulat met once again for the first time in years on the cruise ship "Ryussen" with their paths in life having diverged, they battled to the death with their loyalty and ideals on the line.

Equipment & Skills
Liver's Teigu was a ring called the Black Marlin which allowed him to manipulate water and other liquids. His skills with the Teigu were so great that he was almost able to destroy Bulat's impregnable Demon Armor Teigu, Incursio. He also possessed adept sword skills.

Relationships

 * Bulat - Once old war buddies and close friends with Bulat, when both were members of the Empire's army. At the end of their lives, they both still respected each other despite being on opposite sides.
 * Esdeath - Recognizing his strength and worth she saved him from prison an act for which he became forever grateful. He will follow her orders without thought and to the letter, even going up against Bulat and performing a suicidal final attack against his old friend merely to claim the life of one of Esdeath's enemies.

Trivia

 * His Teigu could be a reference to his name.
 * While he loved to cook it's noted by Daidara that Liver was an extremely terrible chef. His cooking was known to be as lethal as an average Teigu and even incapacitated General Esdeath for several minutes.
 * His Teigu, Black Marlin, allows him to control water in the vicinity. He notes that, unlike Esdeath's Teigu, he can't create the water.
 * He was Bulat's former superior in the Empire's army but after a downfall orchestrated by the Prime Minister and being saved by Esdeath, he then served directly under her as part of the The Three Beasts
