"The One Being Sought"

Oogami Rei's older brother and the central antagonist in the series so far. He is the leader of a group of people with strong special powers known as the Re:Codes.

Background
The One Being Sought has no background on his childhood; but its known in his youth he was under the guidance of Shibuya and learned his techniques. It was known at that time he was actually kind and very compassionate person, before turning to evil. It was also revelaed that is name was not originally "The One Being Sought", but was dervied from his Code:Name when he was within Eden; Code:Seeker, otherwise known as "The Seeking One". He was very respected within Eden, but they saw him as a soon-to-be threat to them so Eden had him exiled and with both mental and physical scars. He then vowed to become evil since he no longer believed that there was no true justice to begin with.

Later on, The One Being Sought had traveled overseas to many foreign countries building up his own group of power users; The Re-code. He had taken his younger brother Oogami with him as well becuase he had been transplanted with the Code:Emperor's left arm remains. He treated Ogami like a slave and always abused and hurt him, but still kempt him around becuase of having the Code:Emperor's power (which lead to conflicts with foreign powers becuase of the arm's value). He soon became acquantices with Rui Hachinoji, Kouji and Yukihina later on and they helped in his quest for power.

Soon, the One Being Sought would return home with Oogami under their parents care. It was unknown what happened, but an all-out war with the Code:Breakers and his group the Re-code had happened and he ended the life of his own mother in front of Oogami after she protected Sakurakouji Sakura because of her privilaged status. It was known at the time that he his true form had been sealed into the Pandora's box and he was forcedinto his Lost Form for quite some time afterwards. It was not shown, but he had taken Oogami with him after the events settled.

He soon started raising Oogami how to live life (which was very strictly and military-like). He was known that he had given Oogami his trademark black glove to contain the Code:Emperor's power and to allow to be compassionate. Oogami would soon split ways with him after finding out the truth of what his intentions were, but it is unknown if The One Being Sought actually tried to stop Oogami or not, but its possible he had let Oogami make his own choose by himself.

Appearance
When "The One Being Sought" was first introduced he was in his "Lost Form", he looked identical to Oogami in terms of both age, physical appearance, and manners to the point that Sakurakouji Sakura thought that they were twins. His coat and hair color, however were bleach white which seperated him from Oogami in terms of appearance. When he revealed his original form after obtaining the "Pandora's Box" he was much taller, had longer hair and carried a long scar over his right eye all the way down to his waist. Showing to us just how much of an overall difference in age he is with Oogami. (as in the past he was roughly in his early 20s when Oogami was only around 5-6 years old)

Personality
Like Oogami he is shown to be cold hearted, ruthless and without any mercy(much more so then Oogami). He also is shown to be always calm rarely being intimated by his enemies. He is also shown smiling, but only when he is either has the upperhand in a situation or posistion. When he returns to his original form, he is shown laughing(something he never had shown before in his Lost form), and smiling much more due his confidence in his newly regained power.

Powers/Abilities
So far from what has been shown from him in his "Lost Form", he is extremely powerful, as when he was first encountered he easily defeated his younger brother, Oogami with little effort. He has been shown to be able to read other people's minds from just a glance at them, it was not understood how he can since he is in his lost form, therefore he shouldn't have such a power, however it is revealed it is simply his high level intelligence that makes him come to his rather amazing conclusions.

The One Being Sought, has been shown to be highly skilled in the use of swordmanship; specially iaido as he can almost instanteously take down multiple targets by just using his sword from a distance and still inflict fatal wounds upon them in seconds. He is revealed to have been taught by Shibuya, as he respects him enough to call him "Master". The reasons why are becuase when he was still part of Eden he was under Shibuya's guidance. He also uses a technique called "Ryuuseisou" (English for Frosty Iced Meteor), its very powerful as he literally just lifted the hilt of his sword and instantly releases powerful shockwaves that tear apart anything around him in seconds, it was so powerful that not only did it tear apart the ground beneath him, but Oogami(current Code:06), Sakura("Rare Kind"), Yuuki( current Code:03), Hiyori(in her lost form) and Shigure(one of "his" personal guards), were all inflicted with heavy wounds immendiatly after the atack.

When The One Being Sought returns back into his original form, he shows how powerful he is by taking down Shibuya ( A "Rare Kind", who is virually indestructible to all, but the most powerful of opponents) in just a matter of seconds after launching afew physical blows to him. He almost immeditally appeared in front of Sakura, and when turned around to face Ogami he instantly destroyed Ogami's shirt with just a glance. It is revealed that his power is "Absolute Space" which allows him the ability to add or deplete space instantaneously. This makes "The One Being Sought" almost impossible to be hurt by even the strongest of power users becuase he can simply change the space around him to avoid the attack with ease. Shibuya had commented on the power "It's the same as on a board game, where he can control all pieces at will. Though it is a game where the winner is already decided..." In a addition to this power, The One Being Sought has a secondary power called "Cell Regeneration" where he is able to recover from fatal wounds in a matter of seconds; a strong example of its potiential is how he was able to recover many times over even after to be constiently burned by Oogami's Azure Flame; which is said to burn both the body and soul of the victim instantly. This makes him so far the only power user that has two seperate powers whcih in addition with his high level of intelligence; he was one of the strongest power users at the present time. His lost form is called "Time Reversal", where he ages backwards in heart and years.

History
'He' personally asked Rui to look after oogami. He predicted that Eden will see oogami as an 'unforeseen threat' as well, just as how Eden saw 'He' to be. So he sent rui to protect his younger brother. He also wants Oogami to find an 'everlasting truth'(probably about Eden), that even 'He' couldnt find.

This hints that 'The One Being Sought' actually cares for oogami.
