## Background[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Korn&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Background")]
Korn is [Chianti](/wiki/Chianti "Chianti")'s partner, and also a skilled assassin, assigned in the assassination division of the [Black Organization](/wiki/Black_Organization "Black Organization"). He always wears thick glasses and a hat, more tactical and hunting or military/police type outfit as opposed to the more formal ones of certain members, and is never shown without them.
## Personality[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Korn&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Personality")]
Even if he is less impatient than Chianti, he enjoys killing, and is disappointed when he does not get the opportunity to, as regretting that he has not been the one firing at [Irish](/wiki/Irish "Irish"). Like most members of the organization, he has a cold personality. However, unlike the other members, he appears to be asocial, rarely interacting with other members unless spoken to. He is always seen frowning and looks robotic. His speech is short and full of pauses, leading some fans to speculate that he may have some sort of speech impediment, is a foreigner with weak Japanese or merely because of his age.
## Abilities[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Korn&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Abilities")]
He is skilled at sniping. He was able to shoot until 550 yards. It is unknown if he can shoot at 600 yards too, but he was unable to shoot at 650 yards and he is also no match for [Akai](/wiki/Shuichi_Akai "Shuichi Akai") who can shoot to 700 yards or more to 1300 yards.

### Vodka[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Korn&action=edit&section=24 "Edit section: Vodka")]

Korn, like Chianti, resents [Vermouth](/wiki/Vermouth "Vermouth"), believing she caused the death of Calvados. He wishes to kill Vermouth.

[Chianti](/wiki/Chianti "Chianti") is Korn's partner. They seem to get along well enough. She confides to him that she would like to kill Vermouth because she led Calvados to his death. They are not dating[](#cite_note-1), but it's clear that she likes him. Indeed, the animation team added an [extra scene](/wiki/Episode_One:_The_Great_Detective_Turned_Small "Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small") where he blushes when Chianti asks him if he wants to ride the ferris wheel, which in Japan is considered a romantic activity for couples.
