orders from the grand generals, who are ranked higher than they are. In the beginning of the series, there were five generals: Cross Marian, Kevin Yeegar, Froi Tiedoll, Klaud Nine, and Winters Sokaro. Every Exorcist is placed under the command of a general. It is a general's job to find and recruit new Exorcists; because of this, each general carries several pieces of Innocence, and they often travel for long periods of time. When the Earl begins his search for the Great Heart of the Innocence, he attacks the generals, thinking they are the best candidates to hold the Heart. This leads to the death of the oldest and most experienced general, Kevin Yeegar. After his death, teams of Exorcists are sent to protect the generals and bring them back to Headquarters. Klaud Nine and Winters Sokaro returned, but Cross Marian and Froi Tiedoll continue their missions with the aid of their Exorcist teams. During a mission to bring Cross to Headquarters, Allen exceeds the 100% synchronization rate with his Innocence; although the generals are aware of this, Allen does not become a general. Eventually, Tiedoll and Cross return to Headquarters. After Cross Marian is seemingly killed by the Apocryphos, he is no longer the accommodator for his Innocence, and subsequently, a general has disappeared. Cross Marian is a general from the Black Order. Four years before the storyline and after receiving his orders, he ceased communication with the Black Order until recently when he is shown to have infiltrated the Noah's Ark. Cross is a demanding individual who is hard to please. He is a heavy drinker and has been described as a gambler and a womanizer by most. He is often in debt which he would have Allen and the Noah Jasdevi pay for him. Cross wears a mask on this face which can be used to disguise himself. Cross has the unique ability to convert Akuma and make them work under his orders. He is the only general whose actions have caused the Earl concern. Before his suspected death, the 14th Noah told Cross to look after Mana Walker, as the 14th will return to him one day. However, his return was short-lived, as he disappeared from his room in the Black Order's new Headquarters, where there were signs of an attack; his Innocence was left behind, and that is the last anyone has seen of him.
