Cains Machthunger ist nicht zu stoppen, oder etwa doch ?

Abel Nightroad

A Catholic priest who seems to be nothing more than a clumsy, absent-minded fool on the surface. In truth, he is a Crusnik, a vampire of extreme, extraordinary power, and is an ancient being, hundreds of years old. He is a vampire that feeds on the blood of vampires. But despite his strength, he adheres to a principle of pacifism and often refuses to kill his opponents outright. Abel is shown in flashbacks to have a hatred for humanity, but at some point that changes into his current pacifistic and peaceful outlook on life. He acknowledges having greatly sinned at some point in his life, though it is unclear as to what sin he committed, and much of his current personality is based on retribution for his sins. Abel has at one point referred to his Crusnik form as "a mark of his sins", though it is unknown what he meant by that. He shows some romantic feelings towards Esther Blanchett, though most of the time he appears oblivious that Esther returns the sentiment (as pointed out by Astharoshe Asran). In his human form he fights with a gun that shoots silver bullets. As a Crusnik, is able to transform into various forms based on the amount of nanomachines in his body that he activates. In his higher forms he wields a huge scythe materialized from his own blood.

Codename: Crusnik 02
Other name: Abel Nightroad
Born: Created 2088 A.D. in London, United Kingdom
Ranking: Vatican Priest and AX agent
Power: Nanomachine - Crusnik 02

Background: Abel was created in 2088 A.D. in London as one of the so-called "Test Tube Babies." There four artificial humans (Lilith Sahl, Cain Nightroad, Abel Nightroad, Seth Nightroad) were created to be in charge of the colonization of Mars after the Earth's population drastically increased. On Mars, the colonists discovered two alien technologies (the Bacillus and the Crusnik nanomachines), which they installed in their bodies: the colonists, the Bacillus; the Test Tube Babies, the Crusnik, since only their enhanced bodies were able to survive this combination. As the colonists returned to Earth, a war broke out between them and the humans who remained. Abel (hating the world for creating him and his beloved "siblings" as toys back then), Cain, and Seth took the Methuselah's side — while Lilith supported the humans' side. After she was killed by Cain (now insane after he had fused with the Crusnik nanomachines at 100%), Abel retrieved her body, and, in grief, brought it to the Vatican, where she was buried. For 900 years, Abel stayed by her side and wept, until young Caterina Sforza fled to the crypt as she was chased by Methuselah assassins. Abel, realizing that it was his task to continue Lilith's work and defend the humans, saved the young Caterina and chose to live on. He joined the AX at its foundation in May, 3055 A.D. Also, in "The Night Lords V.", Abel finds out that Cain is still alive. Near the end of the series, Abel is apparently killed by Cain. Father Tres later gives him Lilith's nanomachines, reviving him in 100% Crusnik form. Cain and Abel fight, but neither of them is victorious. During the ending credits, it is shown that Abel is indeed alive and is joined by Ion in his quest to kill Cain.

Cain Nightroad (Mein Herr Contra Mundi)

The one who stands behind the Orden, he is lending them his nearly fathomless power. The motivations that drive him are unclear, but he is a being of destruction who, though not sharing the Orden's Biblical belief in Judgment Day, seems bent on the destruction of humanity and the world. In a flashback with Abel, back when they were children (maybe young teens), he is shown at least previously holding an optimistic belief in the individual's ability to shape destiny and change the world. His body was badly damaged by Seth and Abel when they dropped him from a space station, and he seems to have difficulty holding his makeshift body together. Towards the end of the series he hopes to take over Abel's body. He at one point kills Abel, but Abel is later revived using Lilith's nanomachines.

AKA: Crusnik 01
Other name: Cain Nightroad
Born: Created in 2088 AD in Berlin, Germany
Ranking: 10-1 'Ipsissimus, Order of the Rulers'
Power: Nanomachine - Crusnik 01

Background: The second oldest of the Test Tube Babies, Cain is often seen as Abel's elder twin. He was the leader of the Mars Colonialization Project, called the "Red Mars Project". Apparently a gentle, beloved leader, he in truth was filled with a hatred towards the world for creating him and his siblings as tools for the project. At an accident on Mars, he was killed, but Seth injected him with the Crusnik nanomachines and thus saved his life. However, he fused with the nanomachines at 100% and thus gave up control to them, in order to get the power to destroy the world, since he had an inherently destructive personality and could not stand his hatred. In the war following the return of the colonialists to earth, he took the side of the Returners. As Lilith protected the humans, he called her for negotiations, but killed her instead, calling her a "bad influence" on Abel, since she was bringing out his humanity and convincing him that his hatred for the world was wrong. Abel then pushed Cain out of the space ship and into the atmosphere, burning him to a pile of ash. From this ash, Cain regenerated back to his normal form, and met Isaak Fernand von Kämpfer about 900 years later. Together, they took over the Rosenkreutz Orden, until then a small, insignificant organisation in Berlin consisting of enemies of the Vatican. Through Cain and Isaak's charisma and power, the RCO grew into the world's leading terrorist organization.

Dietrich von Lohengrin (Marionettenspieler)

Also known as the Puppet Master, he has the ability to control bodies of both human beings and vampires alike, even if the person has already died. His favorite phrase is "Igne Natura Renovatur Integra", which means "through fire, nature is reborn whole" in Latin. Unlike most members of his order, he is a Terran, and believes that his involvement with the Rosenkreuz Orden has a great purpose for the world. He admits to being the creator of the Orden's foot soldiers, which appear to be vampire corpses seemingly reanimated by his puppetry skills. Upon failing in his mission to gain control of a rocket in Albion, Cain kills him by blasting out his chest.

Codename: Marionettenspieler
Other name: Dietrich
Born: 3042 AD in Germanicus (modern Germany)
Ranking: 8=3 'Magister, Order of the Magi'
Power: Wires that seal and control a victim's action and perception; He is also an expert on "Lost Technology", which is very rare in the Trinity Blood universe.

Background: He is the only known human member of RCO. Dietrich joined RCO at the age of 7, and at the age of 10, he was already in a high ranking position. He is extremely beautiful, said to have the face of an angel, but the heart of the devil. Before joining the Orden, he grew up in a village in Germanicus. He was avoided for his unusual intelligence as a child, and later shunned because of his apparent tendency towards evil. This was also the reason why his father tried to kill him one day. Dietrich thus killed his entire family and lived a life of terrorizing the villagers until he met Cain and Isaak. He is known and feared for his extreme sadism, and seems to be always bored, considering the world and people as his toys. He also appears to have a love obsession toward Esther Blanchett, telling her he loves her several times. He likes saying "Esther, Esther..Esther", whenever he sees her.

Isaak Fernand von Kämpfer (Panzer Magier)

An inventor of the Rosenkreuz Orden, he is responsible for making Cain's body (which has been permanently damaged by the punishment inflicted on him by Seth and Abel in the past). His power is creating an "electromagnetically accelerated cannon", the Arrow of Belial, which is a massive sphere of light that shoots a multitude of energy bolts at his enemy. Has gone by many aliases in the past. He is also shown piloting the Orden's large air ship as he leads it in an attack on the city of Londinium. It is questioned whether he is human or vampire. He is finally killed when the Iron Maiden destroys his airship, with help from the ghetto.

Codename: Panzermagier
Other name: Isaac
Ranking: 9=2 'Magus, Order of the Magi'
Power: Lost technology, summoning monsters from another dimension, several spells for attack and defense (such as Arrow of Belial, Sword of Beelzebub - where he cuts his enemies to pieces with invisible threads - or the "Asmodai" -an almost indestructible power shield)

Background: Most of his past and exact powers is unknown. He used to study at London University under the name Isaac Butler, and was involved in an incident which killed William's fiancee and led them both to being expelled from university. Since he met Cain, Isaak is taking care of his regeneration and is leading the Orden together with him, though his true motives are unknown.
