Breed: Akita Inu Gender: Male The bear dog Riki, who was trained by Takeda Gohei, disappeared in the mountains during a fight with the bear Akakabuto. Riki lost his memory but never forgot his enemy. He gathered many dogs who were willing to fight against the monster bear, and became their leader. When he meets his son Gin for the first time he doesn’t recognize him, even though he tries to remember. As he sends him and the soldiers out to find more dogs, Riki stays in the area of the bears, trying to hold his position. (source: Gingasite.net)
Akakabuto is the alpha-male in the Ou-mountains. Five years ago he got his right eye shot by the hunter Takeda Gohei. This incident ruined his nerve system and he could no longer go in to hibernation. The damage did not only drive Akakabuto mad, it also made him grow stronger and bigger than any other bear, since the bullet in the brain was stimulating his growth. Soon, Akakabuto began building his stronghold and completely took over the mountain pass, Futago. He then started gathering all the strong bears in the area under his leadership to fight off the army of dogs. (source: Gingasite.net)
Daisuke's grandfather Takeda Gohei is a hunter and very talented in training bear dogs. He has trained both Shiro and Riki, and during the beginning of the series, Gin. Five years ago he was out hunting with Gin's grandfather Shiro. They were attacked by the bear Akakabuto who ripped off Gohei's left ear. In return, Gohei shot out the bear’s right eye. Even though Gohei is a skilled hunter, he loses Shiro because of the monster bear and after a few years Riki.
Zelda/Zeruda is Claymore No. 24 of Clare's generation. She is part of Undine's team in the Northern Campaign, along with Deneve (No. 15), Claudia (No. 36) and Juliana (No. 43). She was present when Undine's team joined Flora's team to attack the Yoki manipulating Awakened Being. She was one of the few who avoided its tentacles and attacked its head together with Lily. They were unable to injure it however it did have to leap away to escape their attacks. She seemed surprised when the Awakened Being was unable to force Clare and Deneve to surpass their limits. Zelda survived the battle against Isley's forces through the battle with Rigardo, managing to keep from being defeated even with the loss of the captains, one of the final six Claymores still active at that time. She was part of the last stand against Isley's remaining Awakened Beings along with Clare, Helen, Deneve, Miria and Cynthia. Tabitha and Yuma were unconscious at the time. She was killed by an Awakened Being at this point, making her the only Claymore to die in the Northern Campaign after the death of Rigardo.
Wolfgang Mittermeyer is a rear admiral serving in Reinhard’s fleet and, along with Oskar von Reuenthal, Reinhard’s ablest field commander. Mittermeyer is a commoner, born to a middle-class family. He first met Reuenthal while stationed in fortress Iserlohn, early in his career, and the two became close friends. Kind and caring, Mittermeyer has been a stabilizing factor for Reuenthal’s self-destructive tendencies ever since. A family man at heart Mittermeyer soon married his childhood sweetheart Evangeline and became a dedicated husband, but their efforts to have children have been fruitless thus far. Unfortunately for him, his lowly pedigree was about to cause him serious trouble. Mittermeyer ordered the execution of one of his subordinates for assaulting, robbing and murdering a civilian woman. Although his decision was just, he turned out to belong to a powerful noble family and Mittermeyer was soon arrested. While the nobles plotted his death, desperate to save his only friend Reuenthal met with Reinhard von Müsel (later Lohengramm) and offered his and Mittermeyer’s loyalty to him, in exchange for aid in saving Mittermeyer from the nobility and clearing his name. Reinhard, who had his own well-known issues with the nobles, readily accepted and both of them were transferred under his command. Nicknamed “the gale wolf”, Mittermeyer is renowned for his boldness in warfare, his lightning responses to changing factors in the battlefield, as well as his ability to cover huge distances in a relatively short time, while keeping his fleet organized from his flagship Beowulf. Under Reinhard's command, he receives the flagship Beowulf. Mittermeyer is an able strategist and a brilliant tactician, one of the very best of his era. He is composed, just with his subordinates and fiercely loyal to Reinhard, not only for saving his life, but also because he honestly respects his abilities.
