Hooded Man

The Hooded Man is a veiled figure in collaboration with Sandora. As the raid on Seles comes to a close, they inform the Great Commander that it is Emperor Doel's command to take one of the survivors, Shana, into custody. When the commander asks about her, he is told that it is not his concern.

When the Hooded Man returns to Hellena Prison, he is confronted by the head warden Fruegel. He tells the warden that the world's future rests on the survivor they took into custody. Fruegel is dissatisfied with the lack of specifics. The Hooded Man says nothing more needs to be conveyed, and that those who don't understand should just follow orders. Fruegel grows impatient, proclaiming that only His Majesty, Doel, can order him. The Hooded Man is unfazed, reminding the warden with a pointed sword that no harm may come to her or it'll cost more than his head; a message from Doel himself. Fruegel turns away in frustration.

After the jailbreak at Hellena, Fruegel is surprised to see the Hooded Man looking down at him from an upper platform. He asks the head warden if His Majesty Doel should be notified, implying Fruegel is on thin ice. Fruegel insists that he will retrieve Shana. The man says that otherwise he would be dead by now. As Fruegel leaves the room, the Hooded Man says it doesn't matter, that everything is going exactly according to his plan.

Later, Dart & company arrive at Indels Castle. He asks for advice about the Black Monster and Shana's safety, while Lavitz is there to update King Albert and participate in the war meeting. The Hooded Man is present, hired by the king as an advisor for the war. Having been seen in positions of influence for both sides of the war, his motives are unclear.
