Guren Ichinose, also known as Glenn, is one of the main characters from the Seraph of the End series.
== Charactah Account ==
Guren is a Lieutenant Colonel of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army and the leader of the Vampire Extermination Unit's Moon Demon Company. He is also the squad leader of the Guren Squad.
Adept with prior knowledge of the experiment since he was a teenager, Guren has proven himself to be an intelligent scientist, capable of developing Cursed Gear during adulthood. Due to this, he has even managed to create a method that comes with a very high rate of success for the development of humans who can bear Black Demon Series weaponry. Guren is also an exceptional strategist and leader, with him being typically the leader of any team he is in. He is known for having backup plans, such as giving Yu the drug to activate his Seraph genes in case they were cornered. He is very analytical and able to quickly deduce how to counter the current predicament, such as ordering the group to retreat. He is also courageous and loyal to his friends, even to the point of ordering Shinya to abandon him and take command for the group in his stead, so they can escape, while carrying on with their mission.

*** Kureto: "That guy works well. He appears to be doing something under cover, but I’m planning to capture him as a hostage for now."
* He resurrected his deceased friends by using the Seraph of the End experiment using their severed heads and bodies.
* Guren is the only person who wields two demons at the same time.
* Guren's greatest desire is him being in the day he met Mahiru in his hometown, with him training swordsmanship, and having a cookout with his friends. In addition, his father would be still alive.
