Character

Basophil

好塩基球

A mysterious and poetic character whose real occupation is unknown, appearing during a parasitic infection to make cryptic commentaries on the events unfolding. He is a type of white blood cell, specifically Basophil. He is capable of triggering the release of histamines when encountering an antigen. He also can allure eosinophils and neutrophils when they are needed. His role is not fully discovered as he always remains mysterious. Befitting his enigmatic personality, most of his body is covered, leaving only the area around his eyes visible. He wears a rain jacket over what appears to be a knit cap and a balaclava and carries an umbrella around, likely for protection against stomach acid. What lies behind that mask of his may never be known...
