Gilgamesh
Main Characters
Tatsuya Madoka
Tatsuya is a clone of Terumichi Madoka but was given birth to by his wife Azusa and is therefore considered a son of Terumichi and a sibling of Kiyoko. He is fourteen years old and can use the Dynamis. He is extremely attached to his sister, as she is the only family he really has, his mother having descended into madness or depression following Twin X.
Tatsuya Madoka is much more trusting of the Countess than his sister, and he is much more of an Orgo team player than Kiyoko. He assimilates with the Orga group very easily, but he sometimes has trouble following the Countess's orders.
Kiyoko Madoka
Kiyoko is about seventeen, was born before the Twin X terrorist attack, so she doesn't have the ability to use the Dynamis. However, she played a very important role in the series. She acts as a surrogate mother to Tatsuya and has a hard time accepting the Countess's help because she feels like the countess is trying to take her brother away from her.
Kiyoko tried to leave the Countess two times. The first time she was caught and was punished by the Countess by being thrown into the Hotel's underground prison. The Countess let her go after she left a second time, but she had to her work to pay her debt to the Countess. She ends up living in a dank apartment in the only urban area in the world, and works as a hostess at a gentlemen's club, since the music store she originally worked at closed down. However, she doesn't let Tatsuya know that since she doesn't want him to worry about her.
Kiyoko Madoka also loves music, and is a gifted vocalist and pianist; she has a heightened sensitivity to sound. She can match any sound to its proper note, and was taught to play the piano by her father when she was very little.
All she wanted is a peaceful life with her brother, but her mother's debt and the conflict between the Gilgamesh and Orga keep haunting her, as well as the memory of what her Father did, so she can never find any peace.
She eventually falls in love with Novem, one of the Gilgamesh, which was reciprocated, and carried a child which would be the first of a short-lived new species.
Countess of Werdenberg
The Countess's real name is Hiroko Kageyama, and she had been employed at Heaven's Gate, working closely with Madoka. She became the Countess after marrying a wealthy scientist and Count she worked with, because the man she loved, Terumichi Madoka, was already married and had a daughter. When the Count died in Twin X, she inherited his immense fortune. She appeared to be the only survivor of the attack and lay in a coma for a few years before deciding to find the children who could use the Dynamis. She searched for and found three children rumored to have magical powers, pulled them from some pretty bad situations, and raised them as her own children. She taught them to use their powers, the Dynamis, and used them to fight the Gilgamesh, although they don't know her reasoning for asking them to do such. She despises Kiyoko, most likely for being the daughter of the man she loved, and is much warmer towards Tatsuya because he looks exactly like Terumichi. She has a mansion, but she lives in a huge, fancy hotel. She has a formal dinner with her-make shift family every night, and has the children driven everywhere in the hotel's car which eventually became hers. She can use Dynamis as well, because to save her, cloned pieces of her that had been contaminated by Tear were put in her body, but she uses it extremely sparingly, or is perhaps unable to use it outside of dangerous situations. She rarely smiles, is always dressed formally, and never speaks of her past.Gilgamesh, The (group)
