House of Greed

Boss and two of his flesh dolls

The building

**House of Greed** (**グリードハウス**) is a criminal group, introduced in Taimanin Kurenai. It is no longer active around the time of the Taimanin Asagi games.

They were responsible for both slave trade and high sell of a Future Drug called Halleluja.

## Policy

Criminal immoral group, using drug and slave trade. Thanks to their leader Kazuma, they view their experimentation as "art".

Works with the Chinese Union and Dragon Gate.

## History

Tendo Kazuma was a slave, which one day learned from a hell technology from a benefactor. At this point, his own memories are unclear, but he obtained a building and formed the group House of Greed. Revealed later, Kazuma's memories were sealed and his mind manipulated, as all of his actions were planned by his benefactor and Nomad (Edwin Black) that pulled the strings without Kazuma even knowing.

House of Greed itself became very powerful in the Tokyo Kingdom area by selling the drug Halleluja, creating Flesh Doll guards or slaves with Heretical Acupuncture. Kazuma presenting himself now as a self-made man and, he became known for forming deals with both Dragon Gate and the Chinese Union rivals of Nomad.

This resulted in Section Three to react, these events playing out long before Taimanin Asagi during a time in which the Fuuma clan was leading the Taimanin. Shinganji Kurenai and Makishima Ayame both interrupted a slave sale of Kazuma at first, which put them on his target list. The House of Greed and Kazuma used their connection to the criminal Section Three member Tomari Reiichiro, and created a trap for Kurenai.

Using the House of Greed owned King's Pleasure bar, Flesh Dolls, drugs and a sneak attack, the group was able to capture both Taimanin. However, a sleeper agent was already active in the House of Greed to watch the situation, Felicia pretending to be Kazuma's slave was the sister of Kurenai and wished to corrupt her and pull her to the side of her father, Edwin Black.

After weeks of training, the House of Greed held an auction for Kurenai, but the situation escalated as Felicia freed the mind control on Ayame, which in turn gave Kurenai her blood to power her up. Multiple of the members of the group were killed, including Kazuma, which was decapitated by Felicia from behind. As a result, the group does no longer exist past Taimanin Kurenai, that sits at the beginning of the timeline.

### Timeline TABA

In TABA the group is mentioned as destroyed and some of the recordings of Ayame and Kurenai fall into Fuuma Kotaro's hands.

### Timeline RPGX/Action

As Kurenai is much younger over 10 years and around the age of Fuuma Kotaro, unlike TABA where she could be older than Asagi. It is impossible to say if the group as such ever existed. As most events of Taimanin Kurenai did not happen. However, the "House of Greed" was reused as Edwin Black's house in Yomihara. One of the many, he at times visits, leaving his butler Kii and maid Mismarin to keep it save. In RPGX it was attacked by Ishtar but Mismarin was able to push her away. The house is cast under an illusion spell, making it almost invisible for normal people.

## Group Members

* Tendo Kazuma (Leader)
* Tomari Reiichiro (Allied)
* Felicia (Spy)

## Trivia

* Kazuma never fully learns the truth, that his entire group is just a pawn of Nomad. In that way, the "House of Greed" was a proxy, just like the Oboro Ninja Troops.
* It can be assumed the House of Greed was formed for two reasons. Nomad was a rival of Dragon Gate and not as strong in the Chinese Union but with a proxy group was able to trade and possibly even sneak sleeper agents, without Kazuma being aware thanks to his brainwashing. The second, role was in the plan to turn Shinganji Kurenai into a full demon and remove her from the protection of Section Three without getting their own hands dirty. As this is pre-ONT Nomad would have not many other proxy groups at the time.
