Apostles of the Stars

The Apostles of the Stars are an organization that features in Black Cat.

History

The Apostles of the Star (Japanese: 星の使徒, Hepburn: Hoshi no Shito) was an organization created by Creed Diskenth with the express purpose of ridding the world of Chronos. As such, he began to attract several powerful individuals into the ranks of his organisation in order to start a global revolution. Their first target was the world summit conference in San Geles City which was an annual meeting in which leaders met to discuss the maintenance of international relations and world peace. During the summit, Chronos came to send representatives to the conference where seven of its officials attended to speak for society. Diskenth believed that this was a perfect opportunity to start a revolution and sent the Apostles of the Stars to target it. Chronos came to learn of this and planned to warn the officials about the attack though the representatives were unconcerned about the terrorist organisation as they believed increased security would handle any threats.

Overview

Apostle soldiers.

Their mission was said to liberate the world from the iron grip of the Chronos Numbers to bring about a better society. However, to Creed, they were simply a means to an end with the Apostles being tools and weapons for his purposes.

Among the tools used by them was the Tao Shinkito, this Spirit Drink when consumed gave superhuman abilities to the user. Despite this claim, the potion only worked successfully on a small number of people with some dying upon drinking it whilst others died in time. However, those successful cases grew to be far superior to ordinary humans allowing them increased speed, strength and other traits. It was this high failure rate that led to a secret research program into nanomachines that was hidden from some of the Apostles.

They controlled their own private army that was known as the Shooting Star Unit. These soldiers could not use the 'Tao' abilities of the Apostles but were highly trained in combat and wore special armored suits that could even absorb the impact of a hand grenade. Elite soldiers within the Apostles of the Star included the Kiseitai.

Members

• Creed Diskenth : a male former member of the Chronos Numbers who secretly created the Apostles of the Star to destroy Chronos.
• Doctor : Kanzaki was the mysterious 'Doctor' who was a highly talented scientist interested in nanomachines. His desire to know reaches the level of psychosis, and he cared little for any lives he may take or destroy in his pursuit. He reattached Train's right arm after it was severed by Creed's Imagine Blade, at Creed's request, and later captured Eve, intending to dissect her. The Doc's Tao Power was called 'Warp World' and it allowed him to literally create an alternate world where everything he imagined could become reality. He could also pull memories from the minds of those trapped in the Warp World, and bring those into reality as well.
