* Four Heavenly Kings

**Fürst**/**Fulst** (**フュルスト**) also using his human disguise of **Mitsuhiko** Muroi (室井 **光彦**), is one of the antagonists of Taimanin Asagi 3.

He is an executive of Nomad and leads the Four Heavenly Kings. Fulst was also the teacher and senior of Kiryuu Sabato, and is a master Demonologist of hell technology.

## Personality

Fulst is a polite and noble speaking but very arrogant man, who often hides his true intentions. When he feels that people don't recognize his abilities, he is known to go into rants of rage. He is sadistic, manipulative, twisted, but also highly intelligent and gifted in torture and the dark arts. When the tables turn against him, he easily loses his pride to survive and will wait for his next chance to attack.

Fulst can act very manipulative when disguised, hiding any evil intention. While doing so, he portrays himself just as a man of science and curiosity, doing what is needed. In the long run, any alliance with Fulst often ends in him betraying the other party, as he cannot be trusted. This also includes the Four Heavenly Kings he created. Just like Oboro, Fulst will also work behind Edwin Black's back and thinks he acts on his behavior even if it is clear that Black would not approve.

Trying to move people out of his way on the Nomad hierarchy, he does not think most people are worth of Edwin Black, the only one he is absolutely loyal to. He has an almost religious, fascination with Black's secret power. In RPGX, this loyalty is now given to Teutates, who calls himself the true Black with some mystery remaining.

He looks down on Oboro who he views as his creation and has a poor opinion of Ingrid who dislikes him as well and shows little care for his former student Kiryu Sabato, whot does in fact respect his former mentor.

Both Sawaki Kosuke and Nisha Gaiza are tools for him, as much as everybody else.

Fulst might enjoy the company of men a bit more than women. This is suggested by Oboro, who views Fulst's obsession with Black as a man crush. Also, he did take Tendo Kazuma as a slave to make him a pawn to Nomad, with Kazuma not wanting to remember all the things that were done to him. In TABA while disguised, he was around nude women and nude men bound to the opposite sites of the room. In RPGX, he gets very close to Fuuma Kotaro's personal space, even if it might be more connected to him, knowing that a part of Black lies within Kotaro. On top of that, even his hired guards, are very fully immune to Kousaka Shizuru attempts of charming them. Regardless, this is only ever hinted at and Fulst never interacts sexually with anybody directly.

## Appearance

He is a fat, almost bold older man. Fulst has very large hands and long fingers.

He wears a large white cloth collar.

## History

### Background

Fulst was possibly a human at some point, in his youth he worked for the GSDF of Japan creating weapons until he switched fully to the UFS and later Nomad.

At which point, he fully transformed himself into a Demon and became obsessed with Edwin Black's true power.

Next to Ingrid and Oboro, he is one of the most powerful executives in Nomad. He is known as an expert in demon realm tech and even taught Kiryuu Sabato the craft. Due to this, Fulst has the powers of a demon noble.

Though not appearing directly in it, he also plays a role in Taimanin Kurenai, before year 2068. Tendo Kazuma who was a slave at the time stated he studied under a great master of hell technology, strongly implied to be Fulst. Though, as Kazuma tries to remember more, his mind becomes foggy and unclear how he left afterwards and became the owner of the House of Greed. It is clear that Kazuma was used as a pawn of Nomad, and Fulst had implanted false memories into him as the true master of the House of Greed.

Fulst was the one that took the body of Koukawa Oboro after the Koukawa Massacre and created "Oboro" by giving her false memories and after her first defeat a hypnosis ability from somebody else unknown. Fulst also spent multiple years in the Dark World, meaning he was not around until the beginning of TA3, at which point he also returned as Sabato turned traitor.

### Visual Novels

Returning in Taimanin Asagi 3, in year 2082, he is put into the position of a medical staff in Gosha Academy with his false identity of Muroi Mitsuhiko and had worked there for a at least a year. Fulst makes contact with Sawaki Kosuke one year before TA3. His backstory was he used to be a military doctor in the Ground Self-Defense Force, but was fascinated by the mysterious abilities of the Taimanin he learned about during his missions, so he becomes a doctor on the Taimanin medical team. Passing all checks cause of prime minister Asai Koujirou, who was Edwin Black in disguise, he came in contact with many Taimanin. In exchange for his cooperation in his research work, he exchanged useful intel from his information network to Sawaki Kousuke. Which was needed to take down Yamazaki Shin, "Muroi" later used the trusting Kousuke, who was the adopted son of Asagi, as a pawn in his plan. He gave Kousuke hope to awaken to his Ninja Art by the use of medication but in truth just implanted him with a corrupted version of a Bedroom-art, an art of a Koukawa clan member Faust killed himself.

Confronted by his former student, Kiryu Sabato, to simply leave Gosha Academy as a sign of respect for his former master. Fulst attacked his student with the intention of killing him but Sabato was able to survive, turning into a small fly.

Using his Hell Technology, he turned Kousuke later into a living ball of meat, which was able to control Asagi's movements by a demonic embryo born from the corrupted medication. A plan both him and Oboro worked on together for some time. Fulst was unable to capture Asagi however, with the arrival of Yatsu Murasaki who was informed by Sabato. Though, things turned against Fulst even more as Kousuke awoke to his own art and created distractions. With the help of Ingrid, all Nomad members were able to escape, with Fulst still holding on to the meat ball version of Kousuke.

Frustrated by Ingrid, who pointed out Fulst and Oboro's failure, they planned to take out Ingrid by turning her into a hypnotic slave. Thinking Oboro was unworthy as well, as he noticed Oboro's rejection to the end goal of Black, he also betrays her using an Injuu pet. However, Oboro took control over the beast, which attacked Fulst instead, leading to his brutal death.

### Timeline TABA

Follows the visual novels until TA3, and TABA takes place instead, playing from 2082 until 2086.

Showing up first as Muroi Mitsuhiko while Fuuma Kotaro hunted the Philosopher's Stone demon "Jelly" in Amidahara. Fulst spread the drug DMMA to Blue Rabbit under a fake name.

Disguised as an old man, he leads Kotaro into a trap in the, Monster House which results in a fight with Felicia.

He appears many events later, disguised as an old man, in the Catejina mansion. Fulst is able to capture Igawa Sakura (ZERO) of the Fuuma Organization and implants her with a "Dark Seed", training her with the help of Rosie for weeks. The Fuuma Organization starts an attack to free Sakura and kill Fulst. Kiryu Mikoto is able to place a marker on Fulst that reveals his location even after he tries to flee. Confronted by Amamiya Shisui of the group, he thinks he can overpower her while fleeing but is beaten into a bloody pulp with no mercy. Though reduced almost to death, he reformed one last time for the last battle, and almost killed Fuuma Tokiko. However, his soul was ripped apart for the final time in that timeline as, Amamiya Shisui projecting her guardian spirit and ghost to his location.

Regardless of his death he is once again reborn with the TABA Reset just a few moments later.

### Timeline RPGX

TA1-2, and other games take only place in strongly changed versions. RPGX plays in the year 2082 and ongoing.

In this timeline, Fulst was a double agent for Teutates the Corpse Lord, while still working for that version of Edwin Black (RPGX) and Nomad. Teutates which calls himself the true Black and seems to hold a part of the power Fulst worships. Fulst still talks about Edwin Black respectfully regardless, but would sabotage Nomads leadership. As Fulst, was the one that, in the other continuities had modified Oboro, he would do the same but force Oboro and watch over her to also serve the Corpse Lord as a double agent.

In the past, Fulst gained access to the organs of multiple demons and certain Taimanins, and created a number of bio weapons including Vivi Blood, Resurrection, Surface, KINGS-9 Wolf and Invisible Beasts. Knowing, that specially Vivi would look for her origin, Fulst even recorded a message for her but almost out of spite rejected the idea of revealing anything. Some of these weapon also found their way into the hands of Teutates, Task Force G or Internal Affairs Bureau because of their partnership against Gosha and Nomad. He created the Four Heavenly Kings, four demons which worked directly under him, with increased strength, Nielsen, Vinea, Simurgh and Orobas. Nielson also served for a time as the leader of "Samurais" a Nomad proxy until it was destroyed.

Shortly before the first story mission in RPGX, Fulst disguised as Muroi Mitsuhiko interacts with Nisha Gaiza and supports his planned revolt against Gosha Village. Though, this partnership would later sour, Fulst would revealed himself and assist Gaiza, as he attacked Igawa Asagi with an enslaved Ogre. However, as the situation started to turn with the arrival of Fuuma Kotaro, which supported Asagi, Fulst forced a tactical retreat.

Fulst came into conflict with not only the now formed the Independent Rangers of Fuuma Kotaro but also the Nisha Ninja Troops of Gaiza, as Fulst made it clear that he was using them as pawns and is actions would cause them often more harm. As Fulst supported assassination attempts against Ingrid of Nomad, which only could be stopped thanks to Oboro, which hated to be a pawn for Teutates and Fulst, his traitorous ways became revealed.

In the year **2086**, a short time allied force of Independent Rangers, Nisha Ninja Troops, Nomad and Kibushu mafia, stormed his main hideout, with Kousaka Shizuru being held captive at the time. Though he is helped by both Ereshkigal and Teutates troops, and transformed himself into a stronger form, Fulst is in the end killed by Nisha Gaiza, but not before rambling cryptically about Fuuma Kotaro powers in connection to Black and Teutates.

With his death, a seal on one of his laboratories broke and multiple of the creatures escaped. Fulst is last seen as a recording, which Vivi Blood would watch long after his death.

### Timeline Action

Manipulated the elderly people of a fishing village with demonic connection to create an accident, to raise Nomad influence when they would step in and take them out. This was however, under the nose of Ingrid and not an approved action. Though Fulst was able to cover his tracks, Ingrid was still left with the feeling he was responsible.

With the defeat of Edwin Black, lesser mafia and internal struggle in Nomad makes Fulst want to improve his standing in Nomad by utilizing Oboro, but it backfired. Oboro uses the Taimanin Task Force as pawns and makes sure that they run into Fulst's troops. As a result, Oboro can make the deal, which Fulst had planned with Task Force G. In the span of the next few weeks, she helps to make Nomad stable again and she rises the ranks. While Fulst, acts cordial behind his smiles and compliments, he is fuming, having being outplayed.

## Trivia

* He was the one that made the original evil Oboro and gave her false memories.
* When Kousaka Shizuru was captured by Fulst, she tried to seduce one of his orc guards. This however, failed as the orc was into men which almost cost her life. As Fulst is stated to be also interested in men, this might be a reference to that. Further proof are Fulst's interaction with Fuuma Kotaro, the fact that Tendo Kazuma was his slave, that his fascination of Black is more than normal loyality and Oboro joked about it since TA3. This leaves Fulst immune to the charm of female Taimanin.
* Fulst dies more than anybody, across multiple timelines. Unlike Oboro, that stays alive in TABA and RPGX, he dies in these as well.
* His name translates to the German "Fürst", which is the title of a noble lord.
* Owner of the Mirror of the Lost.
* Fulst might know about Edwin Black's power of reset. Even knowing about the connection in RPGX, that Fuuma Kotaro, Teutates and Edwin Black share and the power of reset might have been split. In a conversion with Oboro in TA3, which is kept vague. Fulst becomes only hostile when Oboro might disagree with Black's next steps, as ending the world is nothing that Oboro desires but Fulst fully supports.

## Quotes

**Fulst**: "*Oboro. I believe my mission is to create an environment befitting an emperor, for Black-sama's sake. For that purpose, I have a brilliant idea. Will you listen to it?*"
