Lo Po Bia Family

The Lo Po Bia Family (로 포 비아 가문, Lo Po Bia Gamun) is one of the 10 Great Families and is led by Lo Po Bia Traumerei. Currently, Traumerei is considered the best Anima in the Tower. It is said that he can control all Shinheuh and animals of the Tower, as well as humans.

Structure
Aside from the main family represented by Traumerei, the Lo Po Bia Family is separated into twenty branch families which are represented by 20 animals the Head of the Family commanded; each of the branch families is blessed with “special powers”. Among the 20 branches, there are Gray Wolf Family branch  and Wind Bird Family branch. At least once, disparate family branches have been merged into one, with Didiano's original branch having been combined with another prior to the Battle at the Nest.

Despite being the Family Head, Traumeri was shown to not participate in any of the family’s governance at all, with him mostly staying hidden in his room within his Mothership most of the time. As shown, almost all internal matters regarding the clan is instead handled by Lo Po Bia Kirin, who governs the family in Traumeri’s place. While the army and military matters of the family was implied to be primarily handled by Lo Po Bia Lobadon. As noted by Lo Po Bia Perseus, both Kirin and Lobadon possess sufficient strength and influence in the family to effectively act as Traumeri’s stand in’s and replacements should he ever leave their Mothership.

Strength
Given the nature of Traumerei, most of the children of the Lo Po Bia Family are born with the abilities of an Anima. Unlike many other special positions, it's not a skill anyone can learn but instead a natural talent. The skill to subjugate a creature existed before the 10 Families entered the Tower although, at some point, the Lo Po Bia Family acquired the skill. Not everyone from the Lo Po Bia Family is an Anima, but they all have the potential and a few Lo Po Bia elites have abilities that are on a whole new level from standard Anima.

Part of Lo Po Bia Family strength is their control over 23 special beasts of which 7 are personally controlled by Traumerei himself and the rest were given by Traumerei to his family’s Branch Heads to strengthen them but were all originally his.

History
One of its members Lo Po Bia Ren has helped this family obtain more influence in the Tower, by becoming a member of the Royal Enforcement Division. Also, this family has produced a pair of twin Princesses of Zahard, gaining even more political power. Currently, their members are sabotaging Androssi Zahard to help the chances of the Bia Family's Princesses to rise through the ranks.

The Family Head, Lo Po Bia Traumerei, decided that if the irregural Baam survived the Nest Battle, he would be worthy of serving him. After meeting Baam, he invited him to join the Lo Po Bia Family by marring one of the Family daughters, being willing to give him one of the Family's Princesses.

Beastkins
Due to Traumerei himself personally requesting and funding the research Pine Workshop to create them, the Beastkins are also considered the “property” of the Lo Po Bia family. As shown where after Yasaratcha, Wang Wang and Lobi became Rankers, they were immediatly retrieved by the Workshop and delivered to the Lo Po Bia Family Mothership, where they became Traumerei’s pets. As shown with Lo Po Bia Faitz, the Beastkins themselves are used by the Lo Po Bia Family as part of their armies and primarily employ them as foot soldiers and shock troopers by using their mind control abilities.

As shown with Baylord Wang Wang and Lo Po Bia Yasratcha, both the Canine and Feline races were and are part of the Lo Po Bia Family, however they themselves are not considered actual Branch Families.

As stated by Baylord Doom and confirmed by Lo Po Bia Dokoko, the original Canine people were not considered a part of the Lo Po Bia family despite Wang Wang working and taking orders directly from the Family Head himself and was never given the Lo Po Bia name. The original Canines themselves acted as something akin to a wet work army, eliminating and waring with any target assigned to them by the Lo Po Bia family in secret and handled other dirty business of the family.

In the case of the Felines, the originator of the Race, Yasaratcha was given the Lo Po Bia name as a “reward” from the Lo Po Bia family head and was officially adopted into the family. He seemingly never founded his own branch family nor actually married anyone from the Lo Po Bia Family and had children, but instead “adopted” various members of the 5th Army Corp that he lead. As shown where Lo Po Bia Fucile, Lo Po Bia Haratcha and Lo Po Bia Ha Satcha was given the Lo Po Bia name despite not having any actual blood relationship with them after being transformed into Felines by Yasaratcha, with Fucile being a Beastkin/Cyborg likely created under Yasaratcha’s orders, Haratcha originally being from the Rashangs Race and Satcha even originally being from the Ha Family.

Military Forces
The Lo Po Bia Family was also noted to possess a vast and powerful private army in their disposal. The army itself was shown to be led by several of the high ranked members of the main family and branch families.

When cooperating with the Zahard Empire, the Lo Po Bia Family Head sends a portion of his army to reinforce and assist the Zahard's Army during military campaigns. With it being noted that the Lo Po Bia family is the only one of the 10 Great Families to consistently provide support to Zahard’s Army with their soldiers.

The Lo Po Bia Family also has control and influence over the 5th Corps of the Zahard Army, with Lo Po Bia Yasratcha being its Corpse Commander and several of its commanding officers being adoptive members of the Lo Po Bia Family after being transformed into Felines by Yasaratcha.

Due to the coming war with the Po Bidau Family, the Lo Po Bia family has agreed to be the Zahard Family’s proxy in the war in exchange for additional benefits. One of said benefits was that the 4th Army Corp of Zahard’s Army would be merged and partially taken over by the Lo Po Bia family, with the majority of the commanding officers of the New 4th Army corps set to be taken over by several high ranked family members of the Lo Po Bia Family, such as the Hatchling s and Branch Family Heads.
