**Adam Konrad Mickiewicz** (アダム・コンラト・ミツキェヴィチ, *Adamu Konrato Mitsukyevuichi*, Polish pronunciation: *[ˈadam kɔnrat mit͡sˈkʲɛvit͡ʂ]* ?) is member of Skamander group, where he serves as Leopold Staff's secretary. In the past he was Józefina's main mentor, who was with her for the most of her life - he was sent to Japan to find and bring back her to Poland. He possesses an ability named **„Quiet everywhere, deaf everywhere”**, but it's publicly thought that he has the ability named **„The Great Improvisation”**.

## Appearance

Mickiewicz is an adult tall man with a slender physique and slightly fair complexion. His dark brown hair reaching to his cheeks is mostly slicked back, while his narrow eyes are green with light shade. He has on the mandible a slightly facial hair reaching almost to chin. He's usually smiling, but from time to time his expression is mature or insane, especially during missions for the Skamander group or battles.

As casual attire he usually wore a short, elegant light brown, coat with black golf sweater under this. His pants are gray in the dark shade, and shoes are classic black shoes. He wear black leather gloves too.

## Ability

* Posed ability
* Real ability

His posed ability named **The Great Improvisation** (偉大な即興演奏, *Idaina sokkyō ensō*) would allows him influenced to other people’s opinions by his speech. It wouldn't be an ability that allows him to fully control a person, but he would be able to shake a person's worldview or even ethical system. His ability isn’t manifested through any gestures or words that are intended to be an unlocker.

* Rules Mickiewicz would have to follow during speech:
	+ The text he says MUST be improvised.
	+ He cannot put too much pressure on his listeners.
	+ He must choose words appropriately so that listeners can understand him and he cannot use colloquialisms or vulgar language.

His real ability named **Quiet everywhere, deaf everywhere** allows summon him a ghosts and zombies, which are fulfilling every his order although his relations with them are based on contract. He can control their movements and - if they are ghosts - he can absorb them and possess their abilities and memories they had during their life. To control a given ghost/zombie, Mickiewicz needs to know their names to be able to give them orders, which is why he often uses the same undeads for a long time. In order to send back the undeads, Mickiewicz must give them what they ask him when they are summoned (usually food or doing a simple favor). The safest option for Mickiewicz himself is to summon a maximum of two zombies or four ghosts - after summoning more undeads, he becomes tired and lethargic.

## Skills

* **High intelligence:** Józefina described Mickiewicz's intelligence as being at the level of Dazai or Mori - one of the sharpest detectives in the agency and a mafia boss who repeatedly put the agency in uncomfortable positions. This is mainly shown by his speeches, and mainly by the fact how good he is able to manipulate the facts and emotions of his audience so that their minds come to the conclusions he wanted to be born in their minds. Some people who only know his posing ability often try to deny it, believing that it is only due to his ability.

### Weaknesses
