The Commission of Counter Ghoul.

The Commission of Counter Ghoul is an organization that features in Tokyo Ghoul.

History

CCG Headquarters.

The Commission of Counter Ghoul (C.C.G.) was a human organization formed in the year 1890 by Daikich Washuu to serve as a criminal investigative agency that was involved in investigating Ghouls.

Among the Ghoul factions that came to oppose the C.C.G. was a group that called itself the Aogiri Tree.

The Cochlea detention facility was later attacked by the Aogiri Tree who began freeing all the captive Ghouls with the Eye-Patch leading the attack. In reality, their objective was to free a captive Ghoul by the name of Matasaka Kamishiro who formerly led his fellow Ghouls in the 6th Ward. In response to the increasing attacks of militarized Ghouls, the Commission of Counter Ghoul initiated an all-out hunt for the groups hidden bases. News broadcasts were made to the media requesting any information about the groups responsible for the assaults. After these incidents, the C.C.G. assembled the Owl Suppression Operation as a response to the recent attacks and to target the Ghoul known only as the Owl. They later received information indicating a hidden Ghoul presence in the 20th Ward at a seemingly innocent coffee shop establishment known as Anteiku. After an investigator arrived at the site, he decided to authorize the hidden operation where C.C.G. personnel engaged the Ghouls at the shop.

After the capture of Ken Kaneki, the CCG began to study his biology and sought to create enhanced agents through the Quinx (クインクス, kuinkusu) project.

With the aid of the Clowns, Nimura Furuta began a purge at the C.C.G. headquarters where he killed the agency's chairman and those of the Washuu family who had led the organization. Once they were eliminated, he revealed his true parentage as the son of the former chairman and took on the name of Kichimura Washuu as he became the organization's new leader.

As part of his plot, Kichimura dispatched the Oggai to ambush Kaneki when he emerged in the field. Though tasked with eliminating him, in reality their purpose was to die at his hands and cause him to lose control. This loss in control caused the formation of a large bio-mass from his Ghoul organs which was referred to as the Dragon (竜, Ryū). The massive tentacles that sprouted across Tokyo began to form creatures that attacked citizens and when these beings were killed they release large secretions of Rc cells that transformed infected humans into Ghouls.

Overview

In appearance, the C.C.G. was a federal agency that was created by the Japanese government and tasked with eliminating the threat posed by Ghouls. It operated under the Ghoul Countermeasures Law that served as the legal foundation through which it could prosecute Ghouls. CCG investigators were noted for going to two different kinds of extreme in that some were fiercely single over their entire life whilst others sought to settle down quickly and get married.

Rankings within the organization included:

• Ghoul Investigators : employed by the CCG's main office that carried out actual investigations and the capturing of suspects. These agents were typically deployed to investigate the various wards in Tokyo and were the only individuals allowed to be armed with a quinques. It was divided into two different classes with these consisting of Senior Investigators and Junior Investigators.
• Bureau Investigators : operatives that dealt primarily in paperwork and offered back-up to Ghoul investigators if necessary. They were typically seen at the branch offices of the CCG and were armed with firearms loaded with Q-Bullets.
• Bureau Director :
• Chairman : the holder of the position served as the absolute head of the agency.

Due to the seal of the Commission, Ghoul Investigators were commonly called Doves (白鳩, Hato) by Ghouls. The C.C.G. generally had a strict policy of not providing interviews to members of the press due to them being a safety risk. In recognition of a skilled achievement, CCG operatives were at times awarded the White Wing Medal (白翼章, Hakuyokushō) that was given to investigators who eliminated high-rated ghouls. A Single White Wing Medal (白単翼章, Hakutan'yokushō) was given for defeating an S-rated ghoul, a Double White Wing Medal (白双翼章, Hakusōyokushō) was given for defeating an SS-rated ghoul and a White Dragon Wing Medal (白龍翼章, Hakuryūyokushō) was given for defeating an SSS-rated ghoul. Another award was the Osmanthus Medal (木犀章, Mokuseishō) that was given to investigators who eliminated a certain number of ghouls in the span of a year.

A standard armament made by the CCG was ammunition called Q Bullets (Qバレット, Q baretto) that consisted of melted down kagune coating which meant they required deceased Ghouls in order to create more of them.

One item in their arsenal was the quinque that was created from a ghoul's kagune. They were manufactured from the kakuhou of a ghoul with the quinque emitting electrical signals that stimulated it into releasing and controlling the kagune. Such weapons were able to be shaped into a variety of forms such as axes, guns, shields or blades but they retain some of the features of the original kagune. Due to their nature, quinque were unable to change their shape or store or absorb anymore Rc cells other than those originally harvested from the ghoul from what the weapon was manufactured from following its demise. It was shown that Ghouls killed by an Investigator were taken and harvested to make their quinque. For some investigators, the first kill somewhat haunted their minds until they came to bear with it.

Another weapon developed from Ghouls was the Arata developed from the kakuja of the Corpse Collector. Once equipped, they morphed onto the body initially as a green armor with bladed parts on the limbs. It enhanced the physical abilities of their user to beyond normal human levels allowing them to match S class and SS class Ghouls thus giving them the capacity to survive along with battle Ghouls that would normally have easily killed them. A problem with their use was that they placed an incredibly strain on the body of the host as they fed on them. Arata prototypes were capable of being placed into a berserk mode furthering their capabilities but this led to the armor killing their host as they fed on them.

The Commission created a special gas CRc suppresants that could be expelled from grenade-style weapons that weakened the kakuhou of a Ghoul and impaired their kagune.

A new special breed of agents were created by the agency with these being the Quinx (クインクス, kuinkusu). These individuals had a restrained kakuhou implanted into their bodies allowing them to create their own kagune. Due to their appearance, they were sometimes mistaken for ghouls or one-eyed ghouls though they did not need to consume flesh and in fact could digest normal human foods. However, devouring flesh did trigger a response from their Rc cells and increased their abilities with a Quinx developing a grey sclera in their affected eye as opposed to the normal black one from ghouls. Their creation involved the installation of a kakuhou that was coated in quinque steel which was then implanted in a special system of frames to regulate their function and act as a system of control thus allowing the kakuhou to adapt to its new host. There were a total of five such frames with each subsequent one increasing or decreasing the potential output of the kakuhou by 20%. As such, it restricted the potential strength and for of the kagune that was normally highly adaptable among normal ghouls. Typically, the CCG set all Quinx frames at F2 that set their kagune potential at 40% with a petition being required of a superior to undergo the frame release surgery. Though set as a means of control, the system was not entirely without danger of breakdown as in times of extreme physical stress the five frames coating the kakuhou could break thus releasing a high concentration of Rc cells into the subjects bloodstream. This caused them to full manifest their kagune in an occurrence that the CCG referred to as framing out where in such situations the Quinx was considered a S-rated ghoul that was subject to immediate extermination.

In time, the CCG developed a new type of one-eyed ghoul operative known as the Oggai (歹歹, Oggai). They were created through the perfected kakuhou transplant surgery and had enhanced abilities such as being able to choose to activate one or two kakugan.

The CCG operated at the 1st Ward which was where their headquarters were situated. Cochlea was a Ghoul internment center situated in the 23rd Ward where the Commission housed C-class and SS-class captives. This prison facility held all Ghouls captured alive with it being noted as a dangerous place. The C.C.G. tried to keep its existence a closely guarded secret and few investigators knew about it with even fewer sent to visit the site. Another facility was the Corniculum (コルニクルム, Korunikurumu) that was a ghoul detention center owned by the CCG where suspects in Ghoul-related cases were imprisoned and was located in the 12th Ward.
