Characters

Innumael (イヌマエル, Innumaeru)

Voiced by: Atsushi Abe (Japanese); Aleks Le (English)

Innumael Grauer is a young man involved in the transportation industry. He is a smuggler, whom his colleagues have nicknamed "The Dog". One day, Leocadio helps him load the truck faster, but accidentally loads two packages not meant for delivery. Innumael finishes loading the packages and drives the truck to its destination. He gets stopped at a customs check point where a guard checks the packages, which are revealed to house weapons. Innumael is imprisoned for smuggling, but is broken out by the smuggling organization Headkeeper. Innumael and his rescuers escape and are branded criminals.

Unable to go back to his old life, Innumael is forced to stay with Headkeeper and helps them throughout their journey across the Empire. Although he is initially timid and reluctant to get into fights, he nevertheless proves himself capable in surviving the multiple problems that Headkeeper encounters.

Leocadio (レオカディオ, Reokadio)

Voiced by: Yūki Ono (Japanese); Stephen Sanders (English)

A serious young man who belongs to the Zeroth Platoon of the Wahrheit Imperial Army. Leocadio lives with his siblings and Seitz, a childhood friend. On his first day as an imperial soldier, Leocadio sees a delivery man being scolded for slacking off and decides to help him load his truck but ends uploading goods that shouldn't have been loaded. Later, Leocadio and his squad are assigned to transport a criminal who smuggled goods, who ends up being Innumael Grauer. But as Innumael was freed from prison by the Headkeeper smuggling organization, Leocadio's commander Helman manages to locate them and engage them in a fight.

During the fight, Seitz is killed by Immanuel, who was just trying to protect Schaake, the woman who saved him. Although he is distracted by Seitz's death, he does not believe Immanuel to be a criminal and tries to discover Immanuel's connection to Headkeeper. Unfortunately, Helman, Leocadio's commanding officer, becomes obsessed with destroying Headkeeper and uses Sissel, Innumael's sister, as a hostage in exchange for Innumael's execution. Leocadio saves Sissel but is forced to kill Helman, branding himself as a criminal in the process, and has no choice but to join Headkeeper as a way to investigate the Empire's corruption.

As Schaake tries to track it down, the group learns that a delivery driver was arrested for smuggling weapons, and realize it is their package.

The driver, Innumael, is arrested by Imperial authorities but Schaake and her team break him out of prison. They are ambushed by an Imperial squad and Schaake is almost killed by Seitz, until Innumael kills Seitz to save her. Since he has nowhere to go, Schaake allows Innumael to stay with Headkeeper. During the journey, she also reveals herself to be a noblewoman.

Believing that this may also lead her to finding the traitor, she infiltrates it and learns that Mary Bult is involved in secret human experiments but is caught before she is able to escape. Arnold and Benjamin lead a rescue mission and manage to find her in a capsule in the mental institution.

Unfortunately, Professor Radovaud, the scientist in charge of the institution, has irrevocably turned Elfriede into a monster and she goes on a rampage, threatening friend and foe alike. Headkeeper is forced to kill her, but Elfriede uses her last moments to reveal her information to her comrades.
