Apsley

Apsley, one of the Organizations men and Grace’s handler. He was the one who Grace presented Blanc's arm to resulting in her to become a Claymore. 
Apsley was gravely injured by Grace when he told her her number and she lost it. He couldn’t be in active duty for two years. Even afterwards he needs crutches and coughs and wheezes all the time, but this doesn't stop him from provoking Grace again ending in some of his ribs broken. He has received 7 of 17 surgeries by the Retrieval Squad yet is well enough to move around. Regardless of his severe injuries, he seems to enjoy making Grace angry even if he gets physically injured afterwards. He always gives Grace missions under the protection of a warrior.
For some reason, possibly a twisted sense of attachment, Apsley doesn't tell the board about Grace’s full potential. He claims that Grace couldn't be responsible for Medea’s death, telling a convincing story, but doesn't correct no 3 Desiree “Bloodlust” when she just assumed otherwise. He also keeps Faith a secret, usually allying with an Awakened Being means death for a warrior. Strangely he welcomes the Boards decision to have Grace monitored, and even assigns Gloria to this task, a warrior well known to be absolutely loyal to the Organization and possessing a fighting skill (invisibility) perfectly matched towards Grace who can’t do anything against it without Yoki perception.  He again selects another warrior to monitor Grace, Constance, beforehand and delivers her another mission.
Apsley delivered many of Grace's missions pre-story and appeared to give her missions under warrior protection after Grace's incident. He warned Grace that Eliah was a mistake and told Grace to get rid of her. Later, Desiree talks to him about tasting Grace while Apsley withholds information about her. Category:Handlers
