Exorcists (エクソシスト)

The Exorcists of the Order are all fit, combat-capable, and able to invoke the Innocence in their anti-AKUMA weapons. When they join the Order, they’re trained to improve their synchronicity with their Innocence, as well as in physical combat (presumably). At the same time, their Innocence is constructed into an anti-AKUMA weapon by the scientists of the Order.

The main list below is arranged in order of appearance. At the start of the series, there were nineteen Exorcists in the Order (including Allen). Two more have joined, but six have died. So, we’re currently at fifteen. I’m not sure if the Headmasters are considered Exorcists though.

Allen Walker (アレン.ワォーカー)

Allen is the sort of person who strongly believes in what he fights for, even when it seems the whole world is against him. Despite his youth and tragic past, Allen is remarkably mature and selfless. Much of this, in my opinion, is thanks to his father, Mana, evidenced by the strong attachment Allen had for him. Still, Allen is young, and when provoked enough, he has a tendency to attack with far too little care for his own safety. Personality-wise, he’s very honest about his feelings and he will show exactly what he feels, and say exactly what’s on his mind.

The thing I like most about Allen is that he’s very independent. He doesn’t rely on anyone else for favours even if it means sacrificing himself, nor does he need a silly crutch like rivalry to excel. Oh, and he’s cute too. XD

Official Profile

  • English (about 15 years old)
  • Height: 168 cm
  • Weight: 58 kg
  • Birthday: unknown (Mana gave him the birthday of Dec 25th Christmas)

Allen's Eye

  • Allen’s left eye is not powered by Innocence. In fact, it’s referred to as a curse. When activated, it turns red and the pentacle on his forehead glows. The eye can differentiate between humans and AKUMA, but more than that, it can see the human souls trapped inside the AKUMA. Allen believes this to be a gift in his mission to save these souls. See 3rd Night.
  • After the mission in the rewinding town, Allen’s eye evolved in a very AKUMA-like manner. Now, when activated, it can detect AKUMA from far away, as well as allow people around him to see the souls trapped inside the AKUMA.

Anti-AKUMA Weapon

  • His left arm, with the Innocence embedded in a cross-shaped mark on his hand. Allen is a Parasite Type. When dormant, Allen’s arm is a scaley dark red colour. When invoked, it enlarges into a claw that can cut through all AKUMA. It is virtually indestructible except by high level attacks and other Innocence.
  • 十字架ノ墓 (Cross Grave) is a multiple slice attack that can destroy many Level I AKUMA at one time.
  • After the mission to Matel, Allen’s arm evolved further into a spear-like weapon (think lightsabers), as well as a canon-type weapon which shoots projectile spears that can destroy AKUMA.

Kanda Yuu (神田(カンダ).ユウ)

Kanda is the first Exorcist that Allen meets at the Order though a misunderstanding and difference of opinions caused a bad start to their relationship. Not that Kanda is a sunshine of personality, mind you. He’s rude and looks down on people “beneath” him, such as Allen (who is cursed), and the lower ranking members of the Order. Kanda’s master is Headmaster Tiédeur.

There is some mystery surrounding Kanda, in particular, a tattoo on his chest above his heart. It is perhaps tied to his ability to heal faster than average, no matter how serious his injuries, as well as his remaining lifespan. The novel revealed that Kanda has a lotus flower in his room, sealed in an hour glass. Somehow, this flower is tied to his life because when the flower starts to wither, it would mean that he’s run out of time (he will die). The flower has dropped two petals, but is otherwise in full bloom. It was also implied (though this is my interpretation) that Kanda wishes the flower would wither (i.e. he will run out of life) but not before he finds a mysterious person he’s been searching for.

Official Profile

  • Japanese (18 years old)
  • Height: 175 cm
  • Weight: 61 kg
  • Birthday: June 6th (Gemini)
  • Blood type: AB

Anti-AKUMA Weapon

  • Mugen (六幻 ムゲン), a katana. It means, literally, Six Illusions. When dormant, the blade of the katana is black, but invoked, it gleams in metallic silver.
  • 「六幻, 災厄招来!」 (Mugen, saiyaku shourai!) is just Kanda being show-off-y. He says that as a prelude to releasing Mugen’s attack spells. Literally, “Mugen, bring forth calamity!”
  • 「界蟲, 『一幻』!」 (Kaichuu, Ichigen!) is Mugen’s first attack. Literally, “World of Bugs, First Illusion!” It’s a projectile attack.

Hebraska (ヘブラスカ)

Hebraska is possibly not human, or a mutated human, that is one of the most powerful Exorcists in the Order. He lives permanently in the Order’s headquarters and is in charge of taking care of all the pieces of Innocence recovered by the Order. He also possesses the power to examine (or measure) a person’s Innocence, and all those who wish admission into the Order are brought to him first.

Linalee Lee (リナリー.リー)

Linalee appears earlier than Kanda, actually, but she wasn’t revealed to be an Exorcist until later (although you’ll notice she’s in an Exorcist uniform from the very start). She is the very cute younger sister of Komui and about the same age as Allen. It is well-known that where she is concerned, Komui would do anything.

For as long as she can remember, Linalee has been at the Order. Her parents were killed by AKUMA when she was very little, and her only surviving relative is her brother, Komui. When members of the Order found out that she was an Accomodator, she was taken away and separated from Komui. For three years, she lived in the Order’s headquarters feeling like a prisoner, alone and frightened. She even attempted suicide. Thankfully, Komui entered the Order at that time, and promised to make this their new home. As a result, Linalee now fights for her brother’s sake as well.

Official Profile

  • Chinese (16 years old)
  • Height: 166 cm
  • Weight: 48 kg
  • Birthday: February 20th (Aquarius)
  • Blood type: B

Anti-AKUMA Weapon

  • Dark Boots (黒い靴 ダークブーツ). When invoked, the boots increase speed and strength in the user’s legs.

Miranda Lott (ミランダ.ロットー)

All her life, Miranda has been ostricised by people around her because she’s clumsy, and tends to screw things up. And... she really is pathetic. But, I still love her. XD All she needed was for someone to appreciate her for who she is, and thank her for her help.

  • Appearance: vol.3, 19th-26th Night, 57th Night onwards

Official Profile

  • German (25 years old)
  • Height: 168cm
  • Weight: 45kg
  • Birthdate: 1st Jan (Pisces)
  • Blood type: O

Anti-AKUMA Weapon

  • Time Record (刻盤 タイムレコード), a disc-shaped device attached to her arm.
  • The weapon was constructed from an antique grandfather’s clock that was abandoned in an antique shop. Later, it was discovered that the clock was powered by Innocence that only Miranda could synchronise with. When Miranda was yet unaware of her powers, the clock simply catered to her wishes as far as controlling time is concerned.
  • After Miranda invoked her Innocence, the clock was able to create a bubble in time, by which even the effects of time (such as past injuries) could be reversed. However, this reversal is strictly temporary, and holds up only for as long as Miranda can keep her Innocence invoked.
  • Miranda’s Exorcist training at the Black Order allowed her to improve her syncronicity with the clock’s Innocence so that her invocation could last longer.
  • Recovery (時間回復 リカバリー) creates a field around a selected area. While in this field, Miranda’s Innocence can cause all injuries and physical damage, even to non-living things, to disappear, as if reversing the effects of time. However, this is only a temporary relief, as all the injuries and damage will re-appear when the Recovery is deactivated. Therefore, death is one thing Miranda cannot erase.

Ravi (ラビ)

Although Ravi is an Exorcist, he is also the successor to the title of Bookman. In terms of personality, Ravi fills in the shounen manga stereotype of brash and outgoing kid, who enjoys the fun of battle. He appears to be on a first name basis with Kanda, though I would hesitate to say that’s reciprocated. On the other hand, he loves to pick on and tease Allen. In a good way. “Ravi” is not his real name. He stopped using his real name when he became the successor to Bookman.

  • Appearance: vol.3, 26th Night onwards

Official Profile

  • Mixed race (18 years old)
  • Height: 177 cm
  • Weight: 68 kg
  • Birthday: August 10th (Leo)
  • Blood type: O

Anti-AKUMA Weapon

  • Big Hammer Small Hammer (大槌小槌 おおずちこずち). When not in use, it shrinks into a little hammer that Ravi keeps in a holster on his thigh.
  • 「満」 (Man) enlarges the hammer head; repeat as many times as necessary. Very good for smashing things.
  • 「伸」 (Shin) stretches the handle; repeat as many times as necessary. Not so good (but viable) for transportation.
  • The Sermons - Ravi has a number of Sermon attacks that uses the flat side of the hammer head.
    • 「火判 劫火灰燼」(Hiban Gouka Kaijin) - Fire Sermon is a fire-based attack.
    • 「天判 雷霆回天」 (Tenban Raitei Kaiten) - Heaven Sermon is a lightning-based wide-beam attack.
    • 「木判 天地盤回」 (Mokuban Tenchi Bankai) - Wood Sermon gives Ravi the ability to control nature.

Bookman (ブックマン)

Bookman is both a name and title given to the person who records the hidden history, that is, the history that the world is not allowed to know. Bookman is still considered an Exorcist though. Apart from his duties, Bookman is also an expert healer (apparently, he has some l33t acupuncture techniques from ancient China). He is training Ravi to take his place as Bookman, but doesn’t think Ravi is ready yet by far.

Official Profile

  • Mixed race (88 years old)
  • Height: 140 cm (not including his hair)
  • Weight: 38 kg
  • Birthday: August 5th (Leo)
  • Blood type: A

Baron Aleister Crowley III (アレイスター.クロウリー.III 男爵)

Crowley fits the stereotype of a vampire in appearance. Except, he’s not one and appearances can be deceiving. XD On the one hand, he is very fierce and powerful when his Innocence is activated. But, when it’s not, he’s a cry-baby, highly sensitive, easily bullied, wibbling...er, good guy. I’m being kind here. Oh, and Ravi calls him Crow-chan. Bwahaha.

  • Appearance: vol.4 & vol.5, 31st-40th Night and beyond

Official Profile

  • Romanian (28 years old)
  • Height: 190cm
  • Weight: 77kg
  • Birthday: 1st December
  • Blood type: AB

Anti-AKUMA Weapon

  • His teeth. It was... er, passed on to him, by Headmaster Cross via a carnivorous(?) plant. The plant originated from Crowley’s grandfather, the first Aleister Crowley. Crowley is a Parasite Type.
  • Crowley’s teeth resonates to the presence of AKUMA, and his Innocence is such that when he drinks the blood of AKUMA, he can regenerate himself.

Team Tiédeur

Kanda and two other Exorcists were trained by Headmaster Tiédeur.

Deesha Barri (ディシャ.バリー)

Deesha loves playing pranks on others, and when he was still in training, he used to break Headmaster Tiédeur’s glasses often with his Charity Bell.

Anti-AKUMA Weapon

  • Charity Bell (隣人ノ鐘 チャリティ.ベル), a spherical, football-sized object used as a projectile weapon. When invoked, it leaves a sound wave in its wake, capable of destroying AKUMA.

Noise Mari (ノイズ・マリ)

Mari is a very tall and big man. Not much else is known about him, nor what sort of weapon he uses.

Team Zocalo

The three exorcists under Headmaster Zocalo.

Suman Dark (スーマン.ダーク)

Suman became an Exorcist in order to earn money for his young daughter’s medical fees, even though she didn’t want him to leave home.

Anti-AKUMA Weapon

  • His right arm, with the Innocence embedded in a round, gem-like stone near his thumb. Like Allen, Suman is a parasite-type.

Kazahna Reed (カザーナ.リド)

Chakar Rabon (チャーカー.ラボン)

Team Cloud

The three exorcists under Headmaster Cloud. This is speculation, but from their names, I would guess they are female.

Tina Spark (ティナ.スパーク)

Gwen Flail (グエン.フレール)

Sol Garen (ソル.ガレン)
