Shien

"You know, I personally do not believe in an ambiguous ideal like God. After all, there's no real evidence that such a being exists. In a world where there isn't even proof of the future, what does exist is the past. Even if it's tainted with misunderstandings and delusions, if the people themselves believe in it, the past is the truth to them. And should they base their actions, or even their own life around it... in a way, it's a type of god itself. If you continue to live with the regret you feel toward Shiori Miyamoto, your past will become your future, and that girl will become your god."

- Shūzūken speaking with Seireitou Kawahiru

Shūzūken Yanō (側のシュー, Yanou Shuuzuuken) is a mysterious man who commands Vincero as its Chief Executive Officer. In the past, he was a Substitute Shinigami. He makes himself known to Seireitou Kawahiru, and subsequently reveals the purpose and nature of Vincero. He is also very aware of the nine Jinki Fragments, and of the people who covet them. His role as either protaganist or antagonist has yet to be made clear.
