Ayanami Husbando

The main antagonist. He is the man who killed Teito's 'Father' in the war against Raggs and seeks the Eye of Mikhail. His relationship with the 07-Ghosts is unknown, but it is later revealed that his soul is Verloren's soul. Verloren is the original owner of the scythe that is currently in Zehel's (Frau) possession. It is also revealed in the manga that the Seven Ghosts are made from Verloren's fragments. Ayanami is very dedicated to his profession as a soldier and to his country, willing to kill and die for what he believes in, and his nationalism is his main motive in his actions. He shares Field-Marshal Oak's view that the best way to protect Barsburg from losing its present territories is to find the Eye of Mikhail and let the Barsburg Empire keep it. The opinions and comments of other people hardly affect him and he does not change his behaviour or go out of his way in order to impress or please his superiors. Ayanami is strong-willed and never complains about pain or tiredness (despite the omake Begleiter revealing that he only gets 3 hours of sleep a day). He is quiet and always polite when speaking to others, rarely showing any facial expressions and always speaking in mono-tone. Despite being rather unemotional on the surface, Ayanami is aware of his subordinates' feelings (he comforted, and spoke softly to Kuroyuri when he/she cried) and well-being (he has asked himself countless times whether Yukikaze was happy being his Begleiter). He often prefers to be during his work quietly and alone, rather than attending meetings or dealing with the antics of his subordinates. Ayanami is very tidy and organised and likes to complete all his work quickly and to a high standard. He dislikes anyone who distracts him. Ayanami is very intelligent, being an excellent tactician as he organised many of the Military's attacks. He is also very patient, waiting 10 years till his plan to remove Admiral Ogi could finally be carried out, and is rarely caught off guard, only showing surprise when opponents are stronger than he originally thought. Ayanami has also been shown to be very cunning, being a master of manipulation, but has a tendency towards stubbornness. Ayanami doesn't trust people easily. Ayanami can be rather merciless when he feels the Barsburg Empire is being threatened. He tells Mikage that he will kill his sister if he does not reveal the whereabouts of Teito, who was considered a dangerous fugitive by the military. However it was shown that Ayanami was bluffing, and it appears that he is unwilling to use such violence against innocents, as even though Mikage refused to say anything, his sister was shown alive and unharmed. Whereas Ayanami is level-headed on the battlefield, he is quick to loose his temper and is not above using violence, mainly whipping or using zaiphon, to discipline his subordinates when they do stupid things to annoy him (Hyuuga being the only person who dares annoy Ayanami).
