Biography
Chain Sumeragi (Japanese: チェイン・皇（すめらぎ, Hepburn: Chein Sumeragi)
Her earliest recorded activity placed her in the service of Libra, the secretive organization formed to contain and neutralize threats emerging in the chaotic reality of Hellsalem’s Lot. Operating as a covert operative, Chain’s first engagements displayed her abilities as a phantom werewolf, using her capacity to phase in and out of visibility to infiltrate secure areas and track enemy activity. During missions against supernatural terrorists and rampaging monsters, she proved indispensable, slipping past barriers that even the most powerful of her allies could not overcome. This initial showcase established her as Libra’s premier reconnaissance specialist, valued not only for her combat efficiency but also for her reliability in missions where stealth was paramount.
Sumeragi's next notable field activity saw her dispatched with Libra to quell a violent incident that risked breaching the fragile balance between the human population of Hellsalem’s Lot and its monstrous immigrant communities. During the operation, Chain demonstrated the versatility of her abilities by phasing through physical obstacles to strike enemies from blind angles while simultaneously coordinating reconnaissance for her allies. Despite her often detached demeanor, she revealed a capacity for teamwork, timing her interventions to complement the destructive force of her comrades. This mission highlighted her role not as a frontline fighter but as an indispensable shadow, ensuring the success of Libra’s operations by undermining enemy cohesion and gathering critical intelligence mid-battle.
Her third recorded mission escalated into a confrontation with an entity whose powers disrupted perception and spatial reality, making conventional combat ineffective. Chain was able to bypass these distortions by leveraging her intangible physiology, remaining unaffected by barriers that hindered others. She executed rapid infiltration maneuvers, disabling enemy supports while Libra’s heavy combatants dealt with the central threat. Even as the mission tested the limits of the team, Chain’s performance underscored her critical role as a ghost-like countermeasure against supernatural distortion, a living weapon designed to exploit the blind spots of enemies who could not prepare for her presence.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Chain was a tall attractive young man with chin-length black hair, dark purple eyes and possessing a voluptuous body. Typically, she was seen wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath it. She dressed in a fitted suit resembling standard business attire, complete with a tie, giving her a composed, professional look despite her nonhuman nature. This stark, pragmatic wardrobe emphasized her no-nonsense role as an operative and distinguished her from the more flamboyant aesthetics of her fellow Libra members. Her expression was most often impassive, further contributing to her image as a cold and distant figure lurking at the margins of the battlefield.
Chain was characterized by her aloofness, acerbic wit, and tendency toward emotional detachment. She often regarded her colleagues with a sardonic attitude, mocking them or treating them with thinly veiled disdain, though her continued presence in Libra demonstrated loyalty beneath her cold exterior. Her dedication to missions was absolute, and her calmness in the face of extreme threats allowed her to operate with precision where others might falter. This balance of cynicism and reliability defined her interactions with allies, making her simultaneously difficult to approach and indispensable to the team’s operations.
She sometimes came across as being indifferent to the plight of others such as ignoring a person being mugged but in the case of Leonardo Watch she later worked to win his earnings back for him.
Sumeragi was shown to not get along with Zapp Renfro and often ended up in a physical confrontation with him where she could be quite sadistic to him. Despite that, she was shown as being protective towards her friends but in Zapp's case she refused to give her friend Angelica's number to him when he kept pestering her.
Powers and abilities
Physiologically, Chain Sumeragi was identified as a phantom werewolf, a rare being capable of shifting her physical state to become incorporeal. This granted her the ability to phase through solid matter, vanish from sight, and move with inhuman speed and silence. She could slip between dimensions at will, effectively becoming untouchable to conventional attacks while also striking with precise, deadly force when required. These traits gave her overwhelming superiority in infiltration, espionage, and ambush, though her effectiveness depended on strict control of her supernatural gifts. Her existence as a phantom werewolf made her a unique and vital component of Libra’s ability to maintain order in the chaotic ecosystem of Hellsalem’s Lot.
She was able to turn invisible to the point of erasing her presence from the world. This allowed her to pass through walls, defy gravity somewhat and even erase her own causality.
Chain developed a number of techniques with her powers which included:
- Heart Attack (心臓発作, Shinzōhossa?) :
- Existence Dilute (存在希釈 (エグジスタンス・ディルート, Egujisutansu Dirūto?) :
