Jin Murasame

Jin Murasame was a criminal alchemist who discovered a way to transmute the soul into malleable energy and transfered between special conduits. He used this in both theft and assasination by swapping his own soul with his victim's, effectively trading bodies with them and using their security clearance to commit high-profile robberies while deflecting the blame away from him, or by staging supposed suicides before swapping back to his original body. He was hired by Ludwig von Klaus, an alchemist crime-lord to steal the Gotchardriver from Houtarou during a sister-school event at the Shinjuku chapter of the Alchemist Academy. He stole Houtarou's body and seriously injured his own in order to prevent Houtarou from following him before leaving him in the custody of Dai Ito's mercenary group and going to deliver the Gotchardriver to von Klaus. Houtarou eventually caught up with him and regained his body, thanks to the help of the City Hunter team, who had been hired by the headmistress of the Shinjuku chapter of the Alchemist Academy, Yuri Tanaka, to investigate a theft of the powerful Ouroboros Alchemy Ring. Murasame was later killed by Ryo Saeba after attempting to take Yuri hostage.
