The Bad Guy. ‘nuff said. There are certain characteristics about the Earl which may not come across in translations or summaries and that is he speaks with a certain style. For example, he ends all his sentences with the last syllable in katakana, and half his sentences end with a heart mark. Note that the appearance of the heart mark usually has no bearing on the content of his words. He could be threatening someone with death, or greeting his new toy, and they’d all have heart marks on them. Another thing of interest is that the Earl refers to himself as 我輩 (wagahai), which is a very archaic, and slightly arrogant form of “I”.

As far as being The Bad Guy goes, the Earl’s ultimate goal is Armageddon, starting with turning humans into his army of evil AKUMA, and destroying or collecting Innocence before the Order gets to them. Only the Black Order and the Vatican (or those related to them) know of the existence of the Earl, but even so, not many have met him. Later, we find out that the Earl has a council of allies called the House of Noah, and their purpose is still being revealed as the story progresses.

The Earl is also known as Builder to the AKUMA, and the Noah call him Lord Millenium (千年公 せんねんこう).
