Kuroro Lucifer is a character from the manga/anime Hunter × Hunter. He is the leader of the infamous thief group known as the Genei Ryodan (Phantom Brigade).


Background

Very little is known about Kuroro's past except for the fact that he originated from Ryuuseigai. Ryuuseigai, the City of the Shooting Stars, is a city of outcasts. People who have no official records of existance, it is a place that few even know exists. Sometime in the past, he formed the Genei Ryodan with six other Ryuuseigai residents and left the city. Later, the group was joined by more members, in accordance with Kuroro's idea of a group comprising of exactly 13 members.

Personality

Kuroro Lucifer is intellegent and charismatic. He is an enigmatic who appears as a calm, handsome young man. He seems to be a born leader, able to hold the Ryodan together despite the volatile personailities that make up the group.

When in York Shin City, he uses his calm presence and communication abilities to assume another personality in order to gain Neon Nostrad's trust. He is a born leader, and well versed in strategies. He easily controls the Ryodan which clearly contain some individuals with the most volatile personalities.

The only people Kuroro does care about are his fellow Ryodan. When Kuroro reads Neon's prophecy which contained Ubogin's death, he cries for him. Lateron he performs a massacre in memory of his comrade. Besides that, he shows no fear of his own death, even anticipating it. Another hunter, Senritsu, states, when she listened to his heartbeat, he sounded as if he was living with death, and apparently appears sadistically happy with it. To Kuroro the Ryodan are more important than his own life. He stresses that the importance of a leader only extends to following his commands, but the group should always be placed first before the leaders life.

By the end of the Genei Ryodan Story Arc, Kuroro's heart is wired with a materialized arrow by Kurapika. This arrow will pierce through his heart, kill him immediately whenever those conditions happen: 1. He tries to use his Nen, i.e his powers 2. He talks to a fellow Ryodan gang member. Note that when Hisoka try to talk to him, he just keeps silent, as Hisoka was still a member of Ryodan. Not until Hisoka took off the spider picture in his back, to prove that he did not belong to Ryodan clan any more, did Kuroro began to talk to him.

Instead of killing Kuroro, Kurapika renders him powerless to contain the Ryodan. As they must find a way to cure their leader before committing further crime. Kurapika knew that killing Kuroro will not lead to the destruction of the Ryodan clan. They will elect a new leader and grow stronger over time.

Talents and Nen Ability

Quick thinker and very able-bodied. He ability to fight off the two most powerful members of the Zaoldyeck assassin family at once is proof for his enormous fighting skill and strength.

Kuroro's Nen Ability - translated directly - is called Skill Hunter. By this skill he can steal the Nen Abilities of other people to use them as his own. The theft victim, of course, no longer has access to his ability. The theft happens under strict conditions:

  1. The user must witness the nen ability in action
  2. He must enquire about the ability and know how it works
  3. His victim's hand must touch the book's cover
  4. All of the above must be done within an hour

To use one of the stolen abilities, he materializes a special book and turns to the page of the wanted ability. While using an ability, the book has to remain opened. Additionaly, an ability vanishes from the book, when its former user dies.

Known Nen Abilities in the Book

Teleportation

The ability to teleport a person back and forth from one place to another, without that person's consent. He uses it on Nobunaga when he is about to attack Hisoka, as quarrels inside the Ryodan are supposed to be either solved verbally or, if no solution can be found, by coin flipping.

The Indoor Fish

A materialization of a fish that can only survive in a completely sealed room. The fish looks like a skeleton and feeds on human flesh. While the person is being fed on, they neither feel pain, lose blood and stay conscious despite being mortally wounded. Once the fish disappears, the wounds usual effects manifest, often killing the victim

Fun Fun Cloth

An ability owned by the Owl, a member of the Injyuu. This cloth is materialized, and can increase and decrease in size according to the user's will. Whatever is covered in the cloth decreases in size until it fits in the palm of a hand. The user can make it go back to its original size by letting it out of the bag. People can also be shrunk this way, without being injured.
Kuroro obtains this ability while the Ryodan torture the Owl after they captured him to find out how he hid the auction pieces they intended to steal.

Lovely Ghost Writer

An ability stolen from Neon Nostrad. It creates accurate predictions of future events. The user cannot predict their own future. The ability requires:
  1. A person's full name
  2. Their date of birth
  3. Their blood type
The target person writes the required information on a piece of paper, then hands it to the abilities user, who then calls the "Lovely Ghost Writer", a sort of green monster that attaches to the users arm and moves his pen. The user does not know what he writes, beeing in a trance-like state.
The prophecies take up a specific pattern. They are made up of 4 to 5 paragraphs of 4 lines each corresponding to the weeks or months to come. The first paragraph is always about something that has already happened.
Neon refuses to read her own predictions, feeling it would spoil her ability, but Kuroro has his predictions read out by the adressees. So this seems not to be an ability restriction, but rather a matter of personal style.
