Asuka R. Kreuz

Asuka R. Kreuz, (also known as That Man) is the unseen instigator of all the events in the Guilty Gear series. Nobody knows exactly who he is, but he seems to be very powerful. He was one of the discoverers of the magical science, and the deviser of the Gear Project, thus being the creator of the Gears. Because of it, He is often referred to as the "Gearmaker".

He used a man named Frederick as the prototype for the Gears. Frederick would later become Sol Badguy and seek revenge against That Man, pursuing and destroying all the Gears. Most of the cast of Guilty Gear is after him for some reason, be it for revenge or because of his great knowledge about just everything in the world.

It isn't know exactly what are his goals, but he seems to be repenting for having created Justice, and is seemingly luring everyone to prepare them for a plan he has for the world, which involves the insurgence of a new threat greater than Justice. He has three henchmen: Raven, I-No, and Jack-O, all three of them are assisting him in his plans. He also recruited the help of Anji-Mito, in exchange of telling him everything he knows about everything. He has also created a isolated structure within the Backyard, known as the Cube. With it, he can potentially manipulate and reshape the laws of the universe to his whim.

Appearance
Asuka's face and body are never seen and is usually covered in cloaks. However, one artbook showed him with a pure white hair and a normal build. However during the day when he was with Freddick (Sol) and Aria (Justice) he had white hair. In ' Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelators he reveals his young true appearance which confirms his white hair, blue eyes with a eyepatch on the right one, an inverted red cross design on his bangs and pointy red ears.

Personality
He is a self-righteous individual who will burden himself with the weight of his sins to achieve his goals. While ultimately well-intentioned, he is often manipulative and not above using others like chess pieces in a game. He has also described by himself as rebellious, and this is extended to his belief that humanity should have complete control over the course of their own fate, including their evolution.

Trivia

 * That Man is surprisingly similar to lelouch from Code Geass, Because both are well-intentionated extremist that are willing to protect humanity, but difference is that while, That Man is actually hero, Leouch is more an anti-hero at the end.
