**Killer** (キラー, *Kirā*?), better known as the "**Brains of Edens**" (エデンズの脳 Edenzu no Nō), is a Machine and one of the Demon King's Four Dark Stars. After being severely damaged by Jaguar, he was rebuilt as **Killer Mark II** (キラーＭＫ(マーク)Ⅱ(ツー), *Kirā Māku II*?).

## Appearance

In Killer's deleted memories, he lacked the facial marking and stitches around his eyes, which also had regular pupils instead of dots. He wore a plain dress shirt and flannel pants with shoes.

Killer's Mark I form was that of a tall, lean robot with a hunched back, light armored body, lanky arms and a blank face that functions as his scanner.

Meanwhile, Killer's Mark II form bares a striking resemblance to the one in his deleted memories, being a young man of short height with two-toned, striped hair, dark markings around his eyes with stitches around his right eye, which each has four dots in a diamond formation instead of pupils. He wears a dark cloak with intricate, flower-shaped symbols on either side and a hood with an asymmetrical zig-zag pattern.

In Universe 0 he resembles his Mark II form with less and smaller floral patterns.

## Personality

Killer has shown to be somewhat childish, wanting to "*play*" with Weisz during their battle and views it as a game, even disabling Weisz's scanner to stop him from "*cheating*". He also shows signs of arrogance when it comes to his programming, claiming to reign supreme in the subdimensions that he created.

## Synopsis

### Edens One arc

After a revived Ziggy, who turned evil, boarded the Edens One and left Granbell, he introduced the Four Dark Stars to the Crew of Edens where Killer stands alongside his fellow superior machines.

Killer confirms Valkyrie's death after Brigandine noted that the Four Shining Stars is missing one member among them, disregarding her human successor Homura Kōgetsu. Later on, Killer agrees with Brigandine's statement about their predecessors being hardly a threat to the Edens One after confirming their lack of sufficient strength by scanning the Edens Zero, derisively calling them "less than bugs".

### Foresta arc

At the bridge of Edens One where Ziggy learns about the machine rebellion being stopped by the Crew of Edens at Foresta, Killer stands silently as the Demon King explains to the Dark Stars about his lost memories, his quest to find Mother, and his decision to raise Shiki as his grandson.

### Nero 66 arc

At The Temple, after Brigandine's quick defeat, Killer ambushes Jaguar of the Oración Seis Interstellar and stabs him in the back with his Ether blade. However, he is shocked when the captain grabs him from behind with his claws and is quickly ripped apart into pieces.

### X495 arc

On Lendard, Killer Mark II wonders which planet they will attack next and stands next to the other Dark Stars as Ziggy informs them that Shiki is coming and that they will stay here and fight him.

## Powers and Abilities

Killer was built as part of the Four Dark Stars, a group designed as more advanced versions of their predecessors, the Four Shining Stars. After scanning the contents of the Edens Zero, he deemed their strength to be insufficient to threaten the Edens One and that they were "*less than bugs*".

**Master Code** (マスターコード *Masutā Kōdo*): Similar to his counterpart Hermit, Killer is a skilled programmer, being able to take control of an area through a landscape plugin. His skills are also sufficient to disable his target's machinery, run codes, and create weapons.

* **Subdimension Program**: Through a landscape plugin, Killer creates a program to make subdimensions with unique backdrops. While they are in these dimensions, they are still in whatever area they were in before but those outside cannot interact with them.
* **Assault Bit-Laser**: After creating multiple flying drones in his subdimension, Killer manipulates them to fire a multitude of lasers.
* **Protection Code**: Killer runs a protection program on himself that prevents outside forces to modify him.
* **Jammer Code**: After analyzing and hacking into his target's machinery, Killer runs a jamming program that neutralize and disables its use.
* **Assassin's Blade**: Killer runs a weapon program to create a blade on his wrist to attack his target.

**Protection Matrix** (プロテクトマトリックス *Purotekuto Matorikkusu*): Killer can create a shield of hexagonal panels for defense.

**Overdrive** (オーバードライブ *Ōbādoraibu*): Supposedly, Killer was designed to access the power of Overdrive, like his counterpart Hermit Mio. However, starting from an unknown point in their fight, the Killer who was battling Hermit was an illusion, making it unclear on whether or not he truly possesses this ability.

**Machine Physiology**: As a machine, Killer should be able to survive in the vacuum of space unprotected with no negative effects like his fellow machine, Wizard.

**Scanning**: Killer can remotely scan the strength of others to estimate their threat level.

**Anti-EMP Coating**: Killer, like all members of the Four Dark Stars, is equipped with a defensive coating that protects him from E.M. Pino's Electromagnetic Pulse.

**Enhanced Speed**: Killer is shown to be quite fast, able to catch Jaguar off guard from behind to stab him.

**Enhanced Durability**: After being rebuilt and upgraded, Killer possesses a high degree of durability, making him capable of withstanding Weisz's attack in his Overdrive form.

## Equipment

**Ether Blade**: Killer wields a long Ether blade that he uses for assassinations.
