Lo Po Bia Elaine

Kaiser the Name Hunter (이름 사냥꾼 카이저, ileum sanyangkkun kaijeo; "Name Hunter Kaiser") is a Regular who acts as the leader of the third station of the Hell Train located at the 39th Floor, Name Hunt. Like Sachi Faker, Kaiser is one of the 3 top D-rank Regulars.

History
Kaiser was born from the “Grey Wolf” family, one of the 20 branches that establish the Lo Po Bia Family. The “Gray Wolf” family did not have anything special compared to the other branches. Although she was not a descendant of the direct line, she was a rising star with promising talent that exceeded even those who were from the direct line. Because of her outstanding skills and abilities—namely, her command of the wolf spirit Fenrir —by the age of 14, the Zahard Family selected her to become a Princess of Zahard. Soon after, rumours of Kaiser being chosen as a Princess of Zahard started spreading. Given the fact a Zahard princess is someone who will bring honour and prestige the Gray Wolf family quickly gained power. At some point, Alphine became one of the attendants which the Main Family has prepared for her.

A week before she was meant to go to Zahard’s palace, all the children from the 20 branch families were gathered to compete amongst them. Although Kaiser was not required to attend because she was going to become a princess, oddly enough the Main Family summoned her to attend. During the competition, Kaiser met a boy with such excellent skills of any of the children of the 20 branches, and Kaiser quickly fell in love with him at first sight. As she was soon to become a Zahard princess, a person that under any circumstances must never fall in love with a man, such possibility was not an option. As the inevitable day that she will join the Zahard family was approaching, she began to hesitate. Ultimately she decided to not to break with the boy and to experience love. Both attempted to escape from the floating castle; however, they were captured by guards dispatched from both the Direct Line of the Family and the Zahard Family. Kaiser recognised the recent events were staged just to test her, in order to find out if she was suitable for living as a Princess of Zahard. In the end, she failed to become chosen.

Following Kaiser's failure on becoming a Princess of Zahard, the Family Head ordered her entire family to be imprisoned. Kaiser was devastated, as the only thing left to her was regret, remorse and cold heart betrayed by her first love. The Main Family imposed a massive penalty on her family. In particular, Kaiser was sentenced to a “very special labour punishment” to be carried out. She was soon scheduled to be chosen to climb the Tower and quickly arrived at the Name Hunt Station to fulfil her punishment. Her family sent her to the Name Hunt Station to help earn some money to pay off their debt. Feeling guilty over the tremendous debt imposed on her family she immediately conquered the station and turned every Regular into her servants, thus becoming the “Kaiser” of the station. By the time Alphine arrived at the station as a Regular, Kaiser became the cruel ruler of the station, as she conceals her face behind a mask. Alphine decided to server Kaiser again.

For thousands of years, Kaiser and Alphine used the regulars trapped at the station to earn money generated during the festivals. As years passed, the vast sums of money that the station generated went to the Gray Wolf Family. For years Kaiser believed that her hard work at the station would be enough to pay off the debt. Yet the balance of the debt never decreased, as the station’s revenues were wasted by the family instead. The Grey Wolf Family decided it would be more convenient to keep the traitor that led her family to disgrace serving her punishment for eternity.

At the present, Kaiser is considered a veteran warlord who ruled over the Name Hunt station for over a thousand years at that was notorious for stealing the names of Regulars who arrived at the station. Ever since she assumed control of the station, she had never had her name stolen in over a thousand years.

Appearance and Personality
Kaiser is a tall decoratively dressed buxom woman with long silver hair that falls to around her knees, forest green coloured eyes and noticeably dark sclera. Her face is covered by an ornate silver mask with red painted lips, she has fancy red earrings hanging from her ears and also a silver tiara atop the crown of her head. Kaiser wears a forest green coloured waistcoat-like garment, fastened at her neck with a red gem brooch, and a forest green coloured skirt with dark tights underneath. She wears forearm length gloves of similar colour and finally wears an all-encompassing dark cloak which covers most of her outfit and drapes along the ground behind her to some degree.

Kaiser appears to be a relatively savvy individual, realising that there was something off about the overt arrival of Jyu Viole Grace and also informing her subordinates to stay hidden in order to prevent Androssi and her team from challenging them and taking their names.

The 'Name Hunt' Station
In the grand gallery of the Name Hunt station, one of Kaiser's subordinates informed Kaiser of Team Novick's entrance and exploits, asking Kaiser what they would like to do. Kaiser replied that it didn't matter since two more days are left before the Hell Express' arrival at the station. Kaiser replies to not be worried since the name of anyone who entered the Grand Gallery would be Kaiser's property.

By the time the Hell Express finally arrived at the Name Hunt Station, Kaiser was intrigued by the appearance of the Slayer Candidate Jyu Viole Grace. Upon hearing from Alphine that the Slayer Candidate's attempt to uproot the Name Hunt Station, Kaiser issued to the remaining Ten Bosses to "absolutely not fall for the enemy's provocation, and to keep themselves completely hidden until the festival is finished as Kaiser would deal personally against Jyu Viole Grace".

Later, she found Jyu Viole Grace in the no-named residence. A no-named Regular attempted to attack her only to end up vanishing due to the laws of the station. Kaiser then challenged Viole and attacked him, but he held his ground before retaliating. Realising Viole's power, she prepared to use her special power but the fight was interrupted when Androssi suddenly appeared and issued terms before teleporting away.

Powers and Abilities
Despite being one of the Top 3 D-Rank Regulars like Sachi Faker, the latter notes that Kaiser is on a completely different level of power indicating a fearsome level of strength.

She owns several high-level items such as an Invisible Inventory and a high grade Armor Inventory. These items are difficult to obtain even for Rankers, which makes Kaiser an incredibly rare case among Regulars. While she has been noted to be extremely powerful for her level in and of her own right, Androssi reveals that Kaiser possesses a fearsome secret power that is unmatchable at the station.

As an anima and a member of the Gray Wolf family, Kaiser has bestowed Fenryl, one of the wolf spirits passed down in her family from generation to generation, which can only be inherited only by a select few in the Family. This can be regarded as a special kind of anima. Fenrir’s teeth are strong enough to penetrate through even a ranker’s skin. Wounds inflicted from Fenrir’s bite will never heal without its master consent or her death, due to a special spell in Fenrir’s teeth.
