Biography
Biscuit Krueger (Japanese: ビスケット クルーガー, Hepburn: Bisuketto Kurūgā) was a female human born into the world though much of her early life was unknown. It was revealed that she began to learn Nen when she was 17 years old and also studied Shingen-ryu kung fu. After passing the Hunter Exam, she came to serve as an examiner in the Hunter Association and at some point came to be a master to Wing.
She participated in Tsezguerra's selection test for Battera's Greed Island challenge where she was part of the first group of participants to stand in line to pass the test alongside with 20 other people. She was later relocated to Battera's mansion to enter the game. When she reaches Antokiba, she is approached by members of Nickes' Alliance, who take her to a gathering where Nickes, Genthru, and Assam explain the basics of playing the game to other new players and warn them about the "Bomber". Nickes asks the newcomers if they would like to join his alliance, but Gon refuses, his decision being respected by Killua. Biscuit seems to have refused as well and, intrigued by Gon's attitude, she decides to observe the young Hunter and his friend, commenting that it's fun to ruin the friendships of little boys. She runs into Gon and Killua outside a shop and asks them if she can join their group, but Killua coldly refuses. Biscuit becomes offended and decides to ruin their friendship beyond repair, but maintains her frail persona and follows them. On their way to Masadora, Biscuit continues her pursuit, while silently commending Gon and Killua's stamina. The three of them suddenly come upon a group of bandits, who ask the three to help their village. In the village, the bandits explain that all their people became ill and that they need money to buy medicine. Biscuit tries offering her money, but Killua asks her to keep quiet, further fueling her anger. After the encounter with the bandits, which leaves Gon and Killua practically broke, they proceed towards the badlands plagued by monsters. From the sidelines, Biscuit keeps a close eye on both of them. Although initially impressed, she watches their failures with growing frustration while secretly defeating the monsters herself until they encounter a Radio Rat, at which point she cannot help but tell them to use Gyo. After they defeat the creature, she says that she will be their teacher from now on. After sending Killua flying twice, she introduces herself and answers Killua's objections by stating that she is Wing's teacher. She makes them aware of the risks by showing them the cards of the monsters they have failed to defeat. Suddenly feeling Binolt's bloodlust, she warns Gon and Killua and has them pretend that they noticed nothing, staging her departure from the group to lure the murderer towards herself. After she lets him cut her hair with his scissors, Binolt finds out about her true power and formally challenges her to a duel, with Biscuit effortlessly defeating him. She claims that if Gon and Killua had been the ones to fight Binolt, he would have killed them. Gon asks about her reason for coming to Greed Island, which Biscuit reveals to be the rare gem Blue Planet. When she questions Gon in return, she learns that he is the son of Ging Freecss and tells him that his father is, according to Isaac Netero, one of the best Nen users in the world. Gon and Killua ask her to be their teacher, so she takes all the cards Binolt has and tells him to evade the two boys' attacks for two weeks inside a rocky arena under pain of death. She tells them who Binolt is and starts the training session. She is favorably impressed with Gon's special move and his decision not to begin an endurance contest.[16] She quickly notices that the two boys' performance is improving and relishes their potential. She keeps watching while the three fighters rest, thinking to herself that Binolt's imperfect Zetsu will not allow him to kill Gon and Killua in their sleep. Ten days later, when both have defeated the killer, she accepts his proposal to leave the island and turn himself in, understanding that it was Gon's intention all along.
Next, Biscuit has the boys run to Masadora in three hours. After buying a few cards, she has them make the return trip in two and a half hours. She converts the cards into items and tells Gon and Killua to head back to Masadora, but by digging through any rock that stands in their way. At night, she has them sleep while sitting and holding a rope that prevents a rock, which she replaces with a bigger one every night, from falling on their head. Eventually, they discover Shu and reach Masadora again, completing the first phase of her training. Next, she tells them to go to Masadora again, but this time collecting monster cards along the way. While watching Gon try to catch a Hyper Puffball, she thinks that the game is ingeniously designed, and speculates that Ging created it to make his son stronger. When both manage to catch the Bubble Horse, she demonstrates Ko and has them train their Ken to withstand it. After one month, she introduces them to Ryu and watches them spar, which at first they do slowly, impressing her. After only two weeks instead of the two months she had originally planned, she moves to train them by Nen type. After Gon and Killua have a rock-scissors-paper contest, Biscuit explains that the game is derived from martial arts principles, inspiring Gon to mold his Nen abilities after it. She reflects that Gon thinks like a child, whereas she is appalled by Killua's ability to convert his aura into electricity, thinking once again that the two make a perfect team. She suggests celebrating since it is almost New Year's Eve, which reminds Gon of the upcoming Hunter Exam. They head to Masadora so that Killua can find out how to leave the island, eventually learning that they can complete quests for the Harbormaster or bribe him. On the way to the harbor, the two boys make quick work of a pack of wolves, causing her to take further note of their progress. Killua leaves, and Biscuit resumes her training with Gon, but they are soon approached by Abengane, who tells them about Genthru being the Bomber and his schemes. Afterwards, Gon asks her when his signature move will be perfected, to which she replies that it is a lifelong process, but that he will manage to achieve what he envisions by the time Killua returns. Gon changes his mind and considers going to the alliance's hideout to look for survivors, but Biscuit doubts there are any. They go to Masadora and buy 60 spell cards, finding the rare 'Fortress', which causes them to become agitated since they do not know what to do with it. She then returned to monitoring Gon's training, also expanding on his Emission exercises.
When Killua returns, the team casts spells for practice, and they discover that someone going by the name Chrollo Lucilfer was listed in Gon's binder. Biscuit asks several times to be brought into the loop, but it was only after she punches the two boys that they tell her about Kurapika, the Phantom Troupe and Judgment Chain. She states that it is indeed possible to remove Nen. After Killua phones Kurapika and they conclude the person in the game is not the real Chrollo, Biscuit invites Gon to show Killua his special techniques. After Gon and Killua have decided their Nen abilities, Biscuit lets them begin actually playing the game. After acquiring more than 50 specified slot cards, they are recruited by Kazsule to join an alliance of players to stop Genthru from clearing the game. They then head to Soufrabi to look for the rare "Plot of Beach (G.I card)'. During their first encounter with a group of pirates, Biscuit challenges the pirate footballer, but intentionally loses. After acquiring information on the matches played against Razor's pirates, they form a stronger team by adding Goreinu, Hisoka, and Tsezguerra's team to face Razor and his 14 devils. When they win three consecutive matches, Razor challenges them to an 8v8 dodgeball match. Biscuit also participates in the dangerous game. She does not receive any damage but is still eliminated due to her dress being hit by the ball. Knowing her student's stubbornness, she tells Gon to beat Razor even if it costs him his life. The group eventually triumphs and obtains the card, but the Bombers contact them, stating that they have killed all the members of the previous alliance and are now going after them. While Tsezguerra buys time, Biscuit trains Gon and Killua for the approaching battle. When the time comes, she faces Bara. She uses "Accompany" to transport the both of them to a beach outside Soufrabi. She initially lands a barrage of blows on him, but he knocks her down with a slap. Laughing, she tells Bara that she let him land a strong hit on her face before her transformation because when she releases her full power, she sometimes fails to control herself. After returning to her true form, she instantly defeats Bara. She also notes that she hates her normal form because it is 'too buff'.
After the death of Isaac Netero, Biscuit followed his will and submitted her own vote for the 13th Hunter Chairman Election.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Biscuit was depicted as a petite, blonde-haired girl styled with twin drills in her hair and large blue eyes that gave her the look of a child, despite being over fifty years old. She usually wore frilly dresses resembling those of dolls or young noblewomen, which added to her deceptive, girlish charm. However, when revealing her true form, she became a tall, heavily muscular woman with broad shoulders, toned limbs, and a rugged, intimidating visage, a stark contrast to her usual disguise. She preferred to be called by the nickname of Bisky (ビスケ, Bisuke).
In personality, Biscuit was manipulative, cunning, and strict, often masking her serious nature beneath a playful, girlish demeanor. She deliberately used her youthful appearance to deceive others and gain an advantage in interactions. Despite her playful manipulation, she genuinely cared for her students, pushing Gon and Killua through brutal training because she wanted them to grow stronger and survive. Her pride in her own strength often surfaced, especially when showing off her true form, yet she retained a calculating, tactical mindset that made her both an effective mentor and a dangerous fighter.
Biscuit had a devious personality who had a tendency to use her cute appearance and demeanor to her advantage.
Krueger had claimed that she was a consummate liar.
It was shown that she expressed delight on seeing handsome young adult men and their figures. This was shown when she got excited at seeing a naked Hisoka. During her leisure time, Biscuit was seen to read men's fashion magazines.
As a martial artist, she showed a stern and serious attitude towards her opponents and students alike. She had no qualms about killing an enemy fighter in combat though she does not believe it was right outside of it.
Powers and abilities
Krueger had a bright intellect and a fair amount of experience owing to her age.
She was a practitioner of the Shingen-ryu (心しん源げん流りゅう, Shingen-ryū—lit. "Style That Originates From The Heart") school of kung fu. Biscuit came to be an incredibly skilled and powerful fighter who through gruesome training was able to reach the peak of her physical potential.
In powers, Biscuit’s mastery of Nen made her one of the most skilled Hunters in the series. As a Transmuter, she specialized in manipulating her aura in versatile ways, though her combat strength was rooted in raw physical power. Her signature ability was Magical Esthetician, which allowed her to knead her aura into her body or others’, restoring stamina and soothing fatigue during battle or training. Her true form granted her overwhelming physical might, capable of shattering stone with her strikes and overwhelming advanced Nen users. She was also adept at advanced Nen techniques, making her a formidable opponent and teacher alike.
As a Nen user, she was a Transmuter who was also proficient in the arts of Emission, Enhancement and Manipulation. She was capable of firing an aura beam that could knock a Nen user back a dozen feet at the very least.
She introduced Nen exercises to help develop her students' Nen abilities.
Biscuits power manifested as Magical Esthetician (魔法美容師マジカルエステ Majikaru Esute, lit. "Magical Beautician") that was also known as Magical Spa Services (まじかるエステ, Majikaru Esute). This allowed her to summon a masseuse she called Cookie (クッキィちゃん, Kukkyi-chan) which used different massaging techniques and a Nen-transmuted lotion to relieve fatigue and restore vitality to anyone it massages.
As a Hunter (ハンター, Hantā), she came to be a member of the Hunters Association (ハンター協きょう会かい or Ｈハンター協きょう会かい, Hantā Kyōkai) who was held in high esteem by her comrades. Her specialty was that of a Stone Hunter (ストーンハンター, Sutōn Hantā) who sought out precious stones and gems where her contributions in her field have been judged crucial and seemed particularly knowledgeable about gemstones. She came to reach the position of Double-Star Hunter (二ツ星ダブルハンター, Daburu Hantā). As a professional Hunter, she had access to considerable funds and classified information.
