Bio
A former member of the military's disbanded HOLY unit for Alter users, who still works independently within the military while pursuing his own aims - which include helping the Syndicate by providing intel and generally being awesome. He watches over Cille in the weeks following Raef's kidnapping, and leaves her notes that keep her from falling into the wrong hands and guide her to the Syndicate. He's obsessed with speed, bad with names, and definitely someone you want to have on your side. After Cille's murder, he is overcome with grief and regret at his inability to protect her, and uses his speed to turn back time to rescue her. He feels very drawn to Cille, but feels some dismay at the prospect of falling in love with his friend's fiancee. Is being hunted down by Blaken.

Bio
The only child of a prominent and relatively wealthy family in Orly, Cille had a privileged upbringing and a happy family life until the storms of oppression and rebellion began to stir. Her parents were killed in a car accident nearly two years before the current events, at which point her adoptive brother Raef legally became her son - and the two discovered that their parents' wealth had become depleted over the years. Cille has a good reputation among the people of Orly, although there are some who resent her for her status and see her as an elitist. She has few really close friends, among them Eric Ominae and Luna Monegossde. Her conservative style extends from her wardrobe to her approach toward relationships, and she has had a relatively sparse love life - with one highly significant exception: She met and became engaged to Landon Blaken in a whirlwind romance that lasted until his abrupt departure a year ago, and while she has done her best to get over him she still longs to see him again and try to get some closure.
Cille has always been reluctant to get involved in the rebellion, but after Raef's kidnapping she sets about trying to find him and learn more about Landon's Blacken Syndicate. However, it is not until she is directly targeted by the Syndicate's enemies - and loses her home and her job in the process - that she resolves to devote herself to opposing Ozzal's tyrannical regime. Fortunately, she is taken under the wing of the protective Straight Cougar, a friend of Landon's and an ally of the Syndicate. Unfortunately, she is captured by Ryuho during the mass arrests of Syndicate members and sympathizers.
While imprisoned she is brutally murdered by Spice, who is under the control of Matrix's latest mind-control drug. Upon learning of her death, a grief-stricken Cougar uses his incredible speed to literally turn back the world, allowing him to come to her rescue and take her to safety. The experience brings the two of them closer together, although they both have reasons to be reluctant to admit that they could be falling in love: Cille is much more cautious after having been burned by impetuous romance before, and Cougar likely feels it would be bad form to fall for his friend's fiancee.
Chapter Guide
A newspaper article about the capture and death sentence of a member of the Blacken Syndicate leads Cille to worry about her former fiance, Landon Blaken, whom she has not seen for almost a year. She is further shaken up by the news (delivered by her friend Luna Monegossde) that her son Raef has been kidnapped.
Cille is seen sitting in Luna's cafe being kind of emo.
Cille mulls over her backstory: her happy childhood and privileged upbringing, the addition of young Raef to her family after the death of his parents, getting her own apartment and job, the death of her own parents and her subsequent adoption of Raef as her own son, their discovery of the depletion of their parents' wealth, and finally her romance with Landon Blaken, which began idyllically but fell apart after he left her to start his revolution.
After Raef's kidnapping, Cille begins looking for intel on the Blacken Syndicate but comes up empty. After losing her apartment and job under suspicious circumstances, she strikes out on a bolder mission, and is taken in by Straight Cougar, an old friend of Landon's and ally of the Syndicate who has been keeping a protective eye on her for some time. While initially suspicious of the enigmatic Alter user, Cille comes to sort of mostly trust him (despite being largely unable to handle his driving). Cougar takes Cille to a Syndicate meeting, where she receives a mixed welcome into the organization.
Cille is arrested by Echelon member Ryuho, despite Cougar's efforts to keep her out of harm's way.
Cille gets killxorzed by a drugged Spice while imprisoned in Comdot Estate. When her mutilated body is discovered, the Orly newspaper releases the story of her death, prompting shock and outrage from her friends and the community.
Cougar, full of grief and remorse over his inability to protect Cille's life, uses his tremendous speed to literally "shorten the world" and turn back time so that he can come to Cille's aid. The two of them manage to fight off Spice, after Cille overcomes her fears and deals her former associate a decisive blow. They escape with the help of some of Cougar's former HOLY comrades, and retreat to the secluded cabin they share out in the wilderness of Lower Actonia. The experience brings Cille and Cougar closer together, and Cille resolves to do everything she can to fight for the ideals he shares with the Syndicate.
Meanwhile, Landon and future!Cille, who have had a hand in orchestrating what would have been Cille's death, decide to forge the story of her murder and carry on with their plan to retake control of the Syndicate.
Cille has learned of the news story of her death, and sadly realizes that none of her friends in Orly know the truth.
Future!Cille
Following Cille's murder, it is revealed that a future version of Cille has traveled back in time via a time machine invented by future Professor Matrix. In her time, the rebellion has been crushed by Ozzal's forces due to disorganization within the Syndicate and some as-yet-unspecified action of her own. In an effort to change the course of events and prevent this disastrous outcome, future!Cille has come back in time to convince Landon to allow Cille to be killed by Ozzal (knowing that this would probably end her existence as well). For some unknown reason (possibly having to do with some quantum physics dimensional mumbo-jumbo), future!Cille has remained in the present time even after Cille's death.
In the new timeline in which Cougar rescues Cille, future!Cille and Landon decide to fabricate her death as a way to continue to move their plans forward and rally the Syndicate to their cause. Unbeknownst to future!Cille, Landon has been using her knowledge for his own nefarious purposes as the leader of the Cool Mexicanos, and he plans to bump her off when it suits him.
Future!Cille is much more badass than present!Cille, and favors a black outfit with a bodice and jacket.
Future!Cille Appearances:
Future!Cille's existence is revealed to Eric Ominae, who has come to Landon after seeing the news report of Cille's death.
Chapter 23: When It Hits the Fan
Future!Cille is brought to the Syndicate, and after an initial reaction of shock and apprehension is accepted as the key to their ultimate victory.
Future!Cille and Landon discuss the ramifications of Cille's disappearance from Comdot Estate, and decide that their next best course of action is to fabricate Cille's death and go ahead with their takeover of the Syndicate. Future!Cille hypothesizes that it may still be possible for them to succeed even without Cille having to die, if they are able to sufficiently alter the course of events.
Future!Cille overhears a meeting between Landon and some of his associates from the Cool Mexicanos and realizes that he's eeevil.
