Honest

Prime Minister Honest is a large man with a demonic appearance, including a crown of horns that give the idea that they are growing out of his head. He manipulates Emperor Makoto and runs the Empire behind the scenes this way. He is the primary antagonist of the series, and hates Night Raid and the Revolutionary Army strongly. He is often shown eating. He cares very little for anything and will do anything to maintain his own power.

Bio
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 Iwokaru, who was killed by Night Raid.

Relationships
Emperor Makoto: He serves as a close adviser and parental guardian to the young emperor. He acts not unlike a warm father towards him, using him to push his own self-serving policies.

Esdeath: An ally, though the relationship between the two is strictly business oriented. He often asks political favors from her in return allowing her to do what she wants. In the end though, they are merely using each other.

Iwokura: His cousin who was siphoning off of his power.

Syura: His son who clearly respects him but on the other hand wishes to surpass his father.

Trivia
