arc, protecting the arms of the statue. The group is led by , but their most powerful member is , the youngest brother. The other siblings are , , , , and the sister, . When their father and an older brother and sister fight as a group, they are called The Three Knights (or Drei Ritter) and are bodyguards to der Kaiser. However, the anime only features Yukihiko and Natsuhiko. What makes their strategy devastating is that they share a common vessel when needed, and any member can manifest in the vessel and engage the enemy.

Kyoji Kagami refers to Akabane as "Babylon City's Kuroudo Akabane", so it is safe to assume he was, at one point, a resident of the upper towers. It is later revealed that he
