Daemon Spade [D・スペード]

Daemon Spade
Status: Deceased
Title: First Generation Vongola Mist Guardian
        Second Generation Vongola Mist Guardian
Gender: Male
Fandom Abbreviation: Dae
Flame: Mist

Daemon Spade was the First Generation Vongola Mist Guardian who betrayed Vongola Primo in the past and also became the Second Generation Vongola Mist Guardian after Primo's forced resignation as the Vongola Boss. He is a powerful and dangerous illusionist that has been known to place a curse of death on people whom he had glared at through his lens. He serves as the primary villain in the Inheritance Ceremony Arc. 

Appearance:
At his first appearance as Primo's Mist Guardian, he wore a French-like blue military uniform that he sometimes buttoned, yellow epaulette (a type of ornamental shoulder piece), white long pants, and brown boots. He wore a red shirt beneath his uniform (in the manga he wore a white suit) and wore his lens on his neck like a necklace. And like Mukuro, he also has a blue haired pineapple hairstyle but shorter with two zigzag partings, lighter hair color and has bangs. Later, in the Inheritance Ceremony Arc, when he possessed Julie's body, he's shown to have longer hair much like Mukuro but still has his bangs. He's shown to wear a grey jacket, white long pants, silver belt, black gloves on his left hand, black boots with a spade pattern and black suit with white ties behind the jacket. After possessing Mukuro's body, he still retains his pineapple hairstyle and has much longer hair that falls below his waist and is tied at the tips form a distinctive dolphin-tail split. He wears a different outfit, a different French-like military uniform that consisted of a white-colored cloth with the Vongola emblem pattern on its buttons, and a pair of spaulders with the same Vongola emblem and a spade, white gloves, black pants, and white boots. Since he was possessing Mukuro's body, his right eye is red-colored. 

Personality:
He used to be kind and compassionate, having the desire to protect the weak and defenseless, much like Giotto. From his experience as an aristocrat, he felt that no matter what position people had in life, highly capable people should become the backbone of society. He deeply loved the Vongola Famiglia that fulfilled their goal to protect people and fix the outlaws along with his lover, Elena, and dedicated everything he had for the Famiglia. However, after Elena's death, he became arrogant, ruthless, cruel, inconsiderate, and merciless to enemies like Mukuro is. He is very obsessive with strength and power due to his strong devotion to the promise he made with Elena, wanting to make Vongola the strongest organization which can easily crush other Mafia Famiglias, a heavy contradiction with the opinions of Primo and the other Guardians. His devotion is strong enough to prompt him to be a member of Vongola for two generations. He never wanted the Vongola Famiglia to fall apart, stating that weak people don't deserve to live, viewing Giotto's softness as disturbance for his ideal Vongola Famiglia. He truly believed that in Mafia world, power and greed are the absolute justice and thinks that Giotto isn't worthy to become the boss, which eventually led to his betrayal. He will do anything in order to create the Vongola that he desires and has no hesitation to kill innocent people whether they are children or women in order to achieve that. This devotion continues even after many generations and led to his decision to annihilate Tsuna's Family and recreate the Vongola in his image. It is also shown that he look down on people of the past, seeing them as merely a dead people who are buried in ground and felt somewhat insulted when Giotto and Cozarto mess with him by giving Tsuna their Flames that still live within Sky Vongola Ring and Earth Simon Ring, despite been already dead. Despite this, however, he discreetly still treasures his bond with Primo and the other Guardians, evidenced by his treasuring of the pocket-watch that Primo gave to him and the other Guardians. 


Lampo [ランポウ]

Lampo
Status: Deceased
Title: First Generation Vongola Lightning Guardian
Gender: Male
Flame: Lightning

Lampo was the son of the Lord of the Land. He was very cowardly and spoiled, but Giotto made him fight anyway. He was known as the Lightning with hidden ferocity. He resembles fifteen year old Lambo, but is spoiled like five year old Lambo. 

Personality:
He is very spoiled and cowardly like Lambo, his cowardly side evidenced in Volume 34, where a side picture reveals that he was reluctant to help the Simon Famiglia during the massive Mafia war even when Giotto ordered him to. He also has shown to think highly of himself due to his position as son of the lord, like when he introduced himself to Lambo. He also seems lazy on doing his duty as a Vongola Guardian; he refused to deem Lambo worthy before he even tested him until Giotto convinced him, and even then, he made Lambo's inheritance test easy just so he could finish his duty quickly. Ironically, he also stated that he disliked kids like Lambo and could not stand them while his character was such. 

Appearance:
Lampo has light green hair and electric blue eyes. He has a small black lightning bolt symbol near his right eye. Lampo wears a white flannel shirt that has leather ties around the wrists, and he also wears black pants.

Alaude [アラウディ]

Alaude
Status: Deceased
Title: First Generation Vongola Cloud Guardian
        First Vongola External Advisor
        First CEDEF Boss and Founder 
Gender: Male
Fandom Letter: A
Flame: Cloud

Alaude headed a secret intelligence agency in an unidentified country and is also the first external advisor of CEDEF. He physically resembles Kyoya Hibari, and despite their preference for solitude, Dino notes that they both show benevolence towards allies, even though Hibari's manner of doing so is outwardly unfriendly and even violent. His weapon of choice was known as "Alaude's Handcuff"s, and Hibari's Cloud Hedgehog Roll can Cambio Forma into a similar Weapon. 

Appearance:
Alaude has blondish-tan hair and ice blue eyes. He wears a buttoned trench coat which is a dark shade of gray, his tie is black and he wears a dark purple-grey dress shirt. 

Personality:
Similar with Hibari, Alaude is a loner, prefering to work alone, unsocial due to feeling binded, confident with his own strength and power and not interested in fighting opponents that do not warrant their attention (Just like when he refused to fight Hibari because he said that has no interest in fighting "a mere child"). Despite this, whenever his comrades are in trouble, he will help them and show benevolence towards them more than anyone else; however, unlike Hibari, Alaude seems to be much more level-headed, matured and calmer, though Knuckle noted that when Alaude was younger, he shared Hibari's bloodlust.

Knuckle [ナックル]

Knuckle
Status: Deceased
Title: First Generation Vongola Sun Guardian
Gender: Male
Fandom Number: 79
Flame: Sun

Knuckle is known as Vongola Primo's Sun Guardian as well as an undefeated boxing champion. Due to his sheer strength, he accidentally killed (incapacitated in the anime) an opponent during a match and soon after dedicated his life to religion. At his Family's moment of crisis however, he gave himself three minutes to fight and managed to save his friends when they truly needed him. The First Sun Guardian and Ryohei, Vongola Decimo's Sun Guardian have a strong resemblance in their weapon of choice, their way of fighting, their personalities and their physical features. 

Appearance: 
Knuckle wears a black golden trimmed priest robe with a red scarf around his shoulders. He has dirty honey colored eyes and dark brown almost black hair. He wears a white bandage over his nose, similar to Ryohei.

Personality:
His speech is just like how Ryohei likes to invoke the word "極限" (reads as "kyokugen" and roughly translates as "extreme"), where he too repeated the word "究極" (reads as "kyuukyoku" and translates as "ultimate") quite often. 

Asari Ugetsu [朝利 雨月]

Asari Ugetsu
Status: Deceased
Title: First Generation Vongola Rain Guardian
Gender: Male
Flame: Rain
Fandom Letter: U

Ugetsu Asari was a Japanese man who loved music. It was said that there was no one who could match his skills with the blade. He physically resembles Yamamoto, and Reborn compared Yamamoto giving up baseball to the first Rain Guardian giving up music: both did so to excel at swordsmanship for the sake of their friends in the Vongola Famiglia. Specifically, he sold his instruments for a trio of short swords and a single long sword. Kojirou's Cambio Forma can form into similar swords called "Ugetsu Asari's Four Irregular Swords". He speaks with a Japanese accent that existed in the Heian period that was used by high class samurai, ninja, and nobles. 

Personality:
Similar to Yamamoto, he's friendly and easy going, though, he's much more polite and soft-spoken in manner. He cares for his friends and Family and is willing to give up his dream to help them; he had given up his flute in exchange for swords and payment to Italy when Giotto was in trouble. He also excels in swordsmanship.

Appearance: 
Asari's outfit - blue and white robe with a tall black hat - was worn by noblemen at the Imperial Court of Japan during the Heian era (794-1185). He has black hair and dark eyes. Asari is Japanese and is often seen with a dark brown shakuhachi, which is a Japanese flute. 




G.

G.
Status: Deceased
Title: First Generation Vongola Storm Guardian
        Giotto's Right-Hand Man 
Gender: Male
Fandom Number: 02
Flame: Storm

G. was Giotto's childhood friend. He helped Giotto form a vigilante group that became the core of the Vongola Famiglia. Like Giotto, he also shares a close friendship with the Simon Primo, Cozarto. Along with Giotto, he met Cozarto when they returned his wallet that he dropped on purpose for their acquaintance, Paolo, due to his master's horrible treatment towards him. They became friends after Giotto revealed that they had also done the same thing for Paolo by dropping off the food they bought. When Franco, a florist and acquaintance of G., Giotto, and Cozart was attacked and heavily injured by thugs because he refused to give them a 90% off discount, G. and Giotto arrived at his shop and had enough of it, prompting Cozarto to suggest a vigilante group if the law couldn't protect them and the civilians. During the middle of the massive Mafia war between Vongola and its rival Family, Giotto, G., and the other Guardians discussed their next tactic in the Vongola Mansion until Knuckle interrupted and informed them that Cozarto and his Famiglia were cornered by the enemies due to Daemon Spade's scheme. When Daemon offered to help the Simon, knowing Daemon's true intention, Giotto ordered G. and the rest of the Guardians to disguise themselves as Daemon's subordinates and secretly save Cozarto and his family. When they arrived at Cozarto's place and revealed themselves, G. told Cozart to trust them and leave the rest to them while he and Cozarto went to where Giotto was.

Appearance:
G. has chin-length pale, almost pink, red hair. His eyes are a shade darker than his hair. He has a red tattoo on the right side of his face that looks similar to a Storm Flame. He wears a white collared shirt which is unbuttoned a few buttons, black pants and he had a dark green tie that hangs loosely around his neck. In the manga, he is usually seen smoking.

Personality:
He's shown to be similar to Gokudera; he speaks in rough manner and also easy to get angry when it comes to something that he disapproves or despise. However, G. is more mature and responsible and always thinks first before acting, which makes him helpful and reliable right-hand man as stated by Tsuna when he disguised himself as Gokudera at his trial. However, Fon noted that when G. was younger, G. shared Gokudera's rash, naive, short-tempered traits. He's fiercely loyal to Giotto and his friends and those who earn his respect. Like Gokudera, he's not easy to forgive someone whom he views as an enemy or a traitor, evidenced when G. stated that he hadn't forgiven Daemon and insisted on stopping him when Giotto ordered them to watch Daemon's Trial.

Vongola Primo's Guardians

Giotto:
Also known as Vongola Primo, Giotto was the man who was directly responsible for the creation of the Vongola Famiglia. While Giotto had a calm personality and the comprehensive disposition to accept anyone, he also had a strong sense of justice and was known for actively pursuing what he thought was right. This trait led him to create a vigilante group that protected common citizens when he was in his early teens. Originally an ideal and righteous organization, this group would eventually grow into the mafia Famiglia known as Vongola after he was forced to step down and handed the boss position to Ricardo, the man known as Vongola Secondo. 

G.:
Giotto's childhood friend who later became known as Vongola Primo's right-hand man in the Vongola Famiglia. In the past, he always sided with Giotto's ideas and gave his greatest efforts to support his friends. G. once commented that despite the fact Giotto gave him a lot of trouble by making him go along with his unreasonable acts, he never regretted following his friend. Around the time that he and Giotto started their team of vigilantes, they were asked "what can a bunch of brats possibly accomplish?", motivating them to protect the townspeople to the best of their ability. He was the first man to take up the title of Storm Guardian of the Vongola Famiglia, and was a skilled fighter in both mid-ranged and close combat. During jobs, he usually made use of guns that he devotedly practiced how to handle. However, when acting on Vongola Primo's personal requests, he instead used the archery set he received from Vongola Primo himself and was never defeated. 

Ugetsu Asari was a Japanese man who was a close friend of Vongola Primo, also known as a swordsman that was unrivaled in talent. Surprisingly, Asari never bothered to obtain a sword of his own, instead devoting himself to his love for music and becoming a skilled player of the flute. However, when he heard that his foreign friend, Vongola Primo, was in danger, Asari didn't hesitate to sell the instruments that he prized more than his life in order to pay for the weapons and travel expenses he needed to go to help Primo.
The first man to take up the title of Rain Guardian of the Vongola Famiglia, Asari Ugetsu had a friendly and easy-going personality. He also spoke in a very polite form of speech and wore clothes that would usually belong to a man of high status in Japan of his time.
 
Knuckle was a Catholic priest that hid a dark past under his friendly appearance. In the past, he was once an undefeated boxer who wished for the title of the strongest. However, his excessive strength caused him to kill an opponent by accident during a match. Filled with regret, he sealed away his fists, never again stepping inside a ring, and sought repentance by working to serve God. At one time however, during a moment of crisis for the Vongola Famiglia, he gave himself a time-limit of three minutes and saved the Famiglia with his fists, therefore becoming the Sun Guardian in the Vongola Famiiglia.

Alaude was a solitary individual who once stood at the top of the secret intelligence service of a certain country and the founder of CEDEF, thus make him the first Vongola External Advisor. However, he liked to remain alone without indulging to others and never kept his pace with the rest of the Famiglia. However, it has been said that on the occasion when Vongola Primo's justice overlapped with his own, Alaude defeated more enemies than anybody else and was more considerate towards his allies than anybody else.
He was the first man to take up the title of Cloud Guardian of the Vongola Famiglia and known the strongest Guardian, similarly to how Hibari doesn't like when people get into groups and also known to be the strongest Guardian of 10th Generation Vongola Famiglia, Alaude too disliked associating himself with others due to feeling bound. That being said, he was a serious character that acknowledged his responsibilities as a Vongola Guardian. 

Lampo
Lampo was the young son of a land proprietor who was arrogant and spoiled to a fault. He was once described as being ignorant about human society. He has the bad habit of glorifying himself and looking down on others and wants people to go along with his selfish desires. That being said, he seems to respect Vongola Primo to the point of being unable to defy or refuse a request from him. The first man to take up the title of Lightning Guardian of the Vongola Famiglia, he has a cowardly nature in a way similar to the young Lambo. Still, he is surprisingly strong and on one occasion Primo entrusted the role of leading the frontlines during a battle. Lambo's 15 year old self resembles Lampo.
Daemon Spade was an aristocrat who detested his own heritage, for he felt that aristocrats had no social standing and were worthless. He joined Vongola after his lover, Elena, introduced him to Vongola Primo, and since then, he dedicated himself to the Famiglia to protect the weak and defenseless people. However, after Elena's death, he became the most shady character among the members of the first generation family. His beliefs and motivations changed to a complete mismatch with the rest and his loyalty is dubious at best. His creed is that the Vongola should be a heartless organization that subjugates everything with force in order to properly lead the mafia world, going along with his misinterpretation of Elena's dying wish of "making the Vongola strong". He destroyed anything and anyone that could have weakened the Vongola behind Primo's back. At one point, he betrayed Vongola Primo and forced his resignation from the position of boss due Primo's inability to overcome his soft heart. Afterwards, he was the only one to remain behind in the Vongola and eventually became Vongola Secondo's Mist Guardian. Still, Primo continued to hold Daemon dear as one of his Guardians and Daemon himself discreetly still treasured his bond with Primo and the other Guardians, as he never let go of the pocket-watch that proved their friendship. Daemon was the first man to take up the title of Mist Guardian of the Vongola Famiglia and so far the only one known to maintain the position of Guardian for two generations in a row. He was already an infamous individual by the time of the formation of the Vongola Famiglia. There was a rumor that those who Daemon glared at with his monocle would be cursed and appeared floating on the sea in the next day.

Vongola Decimo's Guardians

Also known as the “Vongola Decimo”, the 10th Generation Boss who is said to have inherited the will of the First Vongola Boss, Giotto, Tsuna became the reluctant boss of the Vongola, often denying his role. Tsuna doesn't see himself as the boss, but rather fights to protect those he cares about.
Tsuna has a tendency to accept anyone, even past enemies, a trait which he shares with the Vongola Primo.
Respected by his Guardians and the current Vongola boss, the Ninth, Tsuna is said to have what it takes to steer the Vongola to what it originally was, a vigilante group, and clear its blood-stained name.
Tsuna's understanding of his Guardians and acceptance of past enemies fulfills the role of the Vongola Sky Boss which is "Rain, Storm, Cloud, Sun, Mist, and Lightning, he influences all of them. He understands and accepts all of them."

The Storm Guardian of the 10th Generation Vongola Famiglia, Gokudera follows his boss through thick and thin, and initially didn't mind dying for the sake of the Vongola. However, after getting to know his boss better, Gokudera's suicide-like tendencies subsided, and now looks to somehow survive each battle, so as to be able to laugh with his friends again once the battle is over.
Gokudera's pride is in being a Guardian, and in the future he achieves his dream of becoming the right hand man of Tsuna. He's said to resemble his predecessor G. in personality and fighting style. His fighting style and personality fits the role of the Vongola Guardian of Storm, which is "Continuously at the heart of the attack, the furious Storm that never rests."

The Rain Guardian of the 10th Generation Vongola Famiglia, Yamamoto initially believed that the "mafia" was a game being played by his friends, and joined willingly, eager to be part of the group.
Yamamoto is the sole swordsman among the Guardians, a trait he shares with the 1st Generation Vongola Rain Guardian Asari Ugetsu. Yamamoto is extremely proud of his sword style, the Shigure Soen, which he inherited from his father, Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, often saying that his sword style is a perfect style and second to none, and will not let anyone look down on it.
Although generally friendly, Yamamoto is quite powerful in battle, often defying the odds by beating opponents said to be more powerful than him. His agility and reflexes have people calling him a natural-born hitman.
Yamamoto is one of the more calm people among the 10th Generation Guardians, and has often solved any squabbles that may arise, and thus fulfills the role of the Rain Guardian which is "To become a blessed shower that settles conflict and washes everything away."  

The highly energetic Sun Guardian of the 10th Generation Vongola Famiglia, Ryohei has the tendency to overdo whatever he sets out to do. Whether its a 1000 push-ups or early morning jogs, Ryohei does whatever it takes to stay in prime condition.
Ryohei's pride is his boxing, a trait he shares with the First Generation Sun Guardian Knuckle. He is willing to bet it all on his boxing and bases his fights on the rules of boxing, such as a fight always being one-on-one. The Sun Guardian of the Vongola Famiglia does whatever is required of him to protect his friends, Famiglia, and family, even if it puts his own body at risk, and thus fulfills the role of the Vongola Sun Guardian, which is "Destroying the misfortune that attacks the Famiglia with their own body, they become the Sun that brightly shines upon an area." 

The Cloud Guardian of the 10th Generation Vongola Famiglia, Kyoya Hibari is a person who hates crowds and prefers to be alone.
Often regarded as the strongest Guardian of the 10th Generation Famiglia, Hibari has a lust for battle, and enjoys battling strong opponents. The respect he has for a person depends on the strength of the individual.
Hibari's lone wolf attitude is a trait he shares with the first generation Cloud Guardian, Alaude, as they both hated company, and prefered to do things alone. Although he has the tendency to distance himself from the rest of the Famiglia, Hibari will step in if his comrades are in danger. His ability in battle and his lone wolf attitude fulfills the role of the Cloud Guardian in the Vongola Famiglia, which is "To be the aloof, drifting Cloud that protects the Family from an independent standpoint, and whom nothing can ever bind".  

The Lightning Guardian of the 10th Generation Vongola Famiglia, originally from the Bovino Famiglia, Lambo is a 5-year-old kid with an overly large ego. Lambo is by far the youngest 10th generation Guardian, and, as such, the rest of the Guardians try to keep him out of battle as much as they possibly can.
Lambo has the tendency to irritate those around him with his behavior and way of thinking. However his family care for him greatly, going to great lengths to keep him safe.
The few times that Lambo does battle, he uses the Ten Year Bazooka to switch with his 15 year old self. As a 15 year old, Lambo's combat capabilities have greatly improved, and he gives off a calmer and more subtle aura. When he uses the Ten Year Bazooka on his 15 year old self, he switches with his 25 year old self. With his powers improved greatly, 25 year old Lambo can summon a much powerful attack.
Due to being struck by lightning countless times, Lambo's physiology has changed in such a way that Lambo's skin can easily conduct electricity, thus allowing him to fulfill the role of the Vongola Lightning Guardian, which is "To draw damage to himself and away from the rest of the Famiglia, serving as a lightning rod." 

The 10th Generation Vongola Mist Guardian, Mukuro was initially an enemy of the 10th Generation Famiglia, looking to take over Tsuna's body in his bid to destroy the Mafia; however, after his defeat at the hands of Tsuna, Tsuna's father, Iemitsu Sawada, offered him the position of the Mist Guardian in return for protecting his friends, Ken and Chikusa. Since then, Mukuro has aided the Vongola many times, always stating that he will one day take over Tsuna. However, due to Mukuro being locked away in the Vendicare Prison, his participation is limited. Due to this, Chrome Dokuro, one of his followers, assumes the role of the Mist Guardian during his absence. If the situation demands it, Mukuro can take over Chrome's body and fight. Mukuro's way of deceit and his mastery of illusions fullfills the role of the Vongola Mist Guardian, which is "Creating something from nothing, and nothing from something; thus bewildering the enemy, to render the Famiglia's true form intangible with visions of deceit."

The co-Vongola Mist Guardian. She is Mukuro's subordinate who acted as his vessel while Mukuro was imprisoned in Vendicare Prison. She was originally named Nagi until she almost died in a traffic accident trying to save a cat where she lost many of her inner organs. That lead to her meeting with Mukuro in his dream world, who saved her life by creating illusionary organs for her, renaming her "Chrome Dokuro." Her personality vastly contrasts with Mukuro's; while Mukuro is cold and intimidating, Chrome is shy and timid. Due to her nature, she would never open up to anyone and would run away from any sign of kindness. However, through the encouragement from her friends, Chrome slowly broke through from her shell and became determined to become strong to fulfill her role as Guardian and to protect those who she held dear.
