Appearance and personality

Fifteen is tall, slim, yet powerful considering his superhuman strength.

Fifteen wears snake-tailed blonde hair down to his waist, collected in a ponytail. He is dressed in a black business suit, his jacket is unbuttoned, and under it is a white shirt. He has a katana with white tsuka and raspberry tsuba. His katana is painted in two colors: yellow and crimson.

Little is known of Fifteen's true personality, but it can be assumed that he exhibits traits of psychopathy, similar to Zero and the other Gamma NULLs. Though he harbours a deep-seated hatred towards the people involved with the NULL Project and Chronos due to their disregard and abandonment of NULL soldiers post-war, wishing to make them suffer as he and other NULL soldiers have.

Abilities

Like all Gamma NULL, Fifteen has been on Chronos since childhood, which allows him to perceive time much more slowly as well as glimpse the future. He has tremendous speed, which allows him to cut through multiple opponents with a single stroke of his blade in a technique known as the "Dragon Dash". This "dash" ability can slice through shields, avoid lasers and shotgun traps, and is faster than the human eye (or a camera) can see. However, Fifteen is briefly unable to use his katana after using this ability, leaving him vulnerable until it recharges.

⠀Fifteen also possesses superhuman strength-being able to lift Fa Yuan, who weighs in at ⠀253 pounds or 114 kilos, with one hand. His movement speed during rolling, running, ⠀jumping is also slightly faster as compared to Zero.

History

⠀⠀

⠀As a child, Fifteen underwent Chronos treatment as part of the NULL Project, becoming a ⠀Gamma NULL capable of controlling time. During the Cromag War, he served alongside Zero ⠀and the Headhunter, massacring entire villages of Cromags.

He is also called "The Dragon" by the media and works with the Headhunter to find and kill the people responsible for turning them into NULL and ruining their lives.

During the events of Katana Zero, Fifteen works to track down and kill the people responsible for Chronos and the NULL project. He breaks into Fa Yuan's jail cell and interrogates him to get names of those involved with Chronos, and then kills him. Before escaping, he steals the prison's security tapes, likely to cover his tracks. These tapes would later be recovered by Zero during the Chinatown mission.

He encounters V and Zero in the end of the mansion mission, appearing in a blur and cutting off both of V's arms before taking him away to interrogate him.

During the game's credits, Fifteen is seen standing in front of a large peg board covered in notes and pictures. V is seen in the next room over, unmoving.

Notes

◼ The red glow that envelops the screen before Fifteen appears for the first time is similar to the one used when Zero discovers Leviathan in his apartment after the Club mission.
◼ It is likely that Fifteen is the one who calls Zero after he watches the prison security tapes, as he is the only other character who is confirmed to know the location of Leon Von Alvensleben.
◼ Also, during the intro to the slaughterhouse mission where Zero receives the call, the jabbering (the repeated noise meant to represent the speaker's voice)
is a similar tone to Fifteen's.
◼ Fifteen appears to be left handed.
◼ Fifteen's Dragon Dash resembles techniques within the Iaido school of sword fighting, which emphasizes quick and decisive blows despite having their sword sheathed.
