About Komori
Komori, whose name means bat, is an operative of SPES, the organisation that Siesta fought across the world. Blind, he navigates and fights using sound with frightening precision, which makes him one of the group's most dangerous field agents. He crossed paths with Siesta and Kimihiko during their travelling years, and his loyalty to SPES puts him on the opposite side of everyone trying to carry on the detective's work.
Appearance
Komori is a lean young man whose blind eyes and bat-like manner give him an unnerving presence, he turns his head to sounds the way others turn to sights. His movements are quick and economical, ears first, and in a fight he seems to react to attacks before they are visible, because to him they already are: he hears them coming.
Personality
Komori is loyal to SPES and treats its enemies with a professional's cold focus. Blindness has made him patient and precise rather than cautious: he trusts his hearing absolutely and fights with the confidence of a man whose world is never dark to him. Against Siesta and Kimihiko he proved one of the organisation's most dangerous field agents, a reminder that SPES's artificial humans were built to be weapons.
Background & Story
Komori is one of SPES's operatives, an artificial human known by the codename Bat. Born blind, he was shaped by the organisation into a fighter who reads the world through sound, footsteps, breath, the shift of cloth before a strike. During Siesta and Kimihiko's three years of travelling cases, Komori crossed their path as an enemy agent, and his loyalty keeps him on the opposite side of everyone trying to carry on the detective's work.
Powers & Abilities
- Echolocation fighting: Komori navigates and fights entirely by sound, tracking movement and attacks with a precision that makes his blindness almost irrelevant in combat.
Key Relationships
- Siesta: The detective he fought during her travelling years, one of the few opponents SPES fielded who could pressure the great detective's duo.
- Kimihiko Kimizuka: Siesta's assistant and now her heir; Komori's loyalty to SPES puts him against Kimihiko whenever the organisation moves.
