This is a list describing the fictional characters in the manga Silent Möbius.

Main characters

Rally Cheyenne

File:RallyCeyenne.jpg

Height: 5 ft 10 in
Weight: 125 lb
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: White
Age: 38 as of early 2030
Birth Place: not available
Aura: (Primary) Blue-green, green, purple,

(Secondary) Blue, yellow, pale-yellow, (Faint) Black, gray

Rally is the leader and founder of AMP. Rally does not wear the AMP uniform, but instead dresses in formal business suits. She is the only AMP member who is never shown bathing or otherwise nude in either the manga or TV series.

As commander of the AMP, Rally is highly concerned with the welfare and well being of the officers under her command. She realizes that her officers undergo stresses totally unlike that of normal police officers, and thus, is more concerned with results than specific regulations (she has Noriko to handle that). Rally is very business-like in all her dealings, both with her own officers and with other police officials. Rally even has a sense of humor, but it's kept hidden.

There is little hard data to be found on Rally. Her personal files contain a large number of blanks. The age given above is conjectural: in the tenth volume of the manga (set in early 2030), she refers to her first meeting with Ganossa Maximillian as occurring thirty years ago (1999 or 2000) and that she was eight at the time. However, she states in volume 3 (2027) that she was born thirty years ago.

Her private life is a total mystery, as well as such simple details as where she lives. If she has any romantic attachments is unknown. It is known that Rally has a sister by the name of Rosa, who has sided with the Lucifer Folk.

Rally and Rosa are half-Lucifer Folk. This gives them great magical powers, though they are rarely shown. When Rosa was first introduced, Rally experienced flashbacks to her childhood that included persecution of the 'devil's children.' As a result, the older sibling is often reluctant to use her powers.

Their parents are most likely dead; a woman named Luffa (spelling uncertain) with a strong resemblance to Rally showed up in one episode of the TV series, Mobius Klein, with a few indications that she was Rally's mother. She was part of the old Sorcerers' Guild with Gigelf Liqueur, Avalanche Wong, Genvara Cheng, and several others. Her main magical power was teleportation.

Rally seems to have significant financial resources, as shown by the fact that she engineered a buyout of the privatized Japanese police department in early 2030 or late 2029. The initial founding of the AMP may also be considered evidence, though it is unknown if she had other backers at the time.

Kiddy Phenil

File:KiddyPhenil.jpg

Height: 5 ft 6 in
Weight: not available
Eye Color: Purple
Hair: Black (Dark Green tint in the manga and movies); Red in TV series
Age: 28 (Born September 4, 2005)
Birth Place: Australia
Aura: (Primary) Red, dark red, violet

(Secondary) Light green, gray (Faint) Blue-white

A native of Australia, Kiddy is dark-skinned and dark haired, with matching dark eyes. A former Mega-Tokyo police officer, she was almost killed by megadyne (i.e. replicant) known as Wire. Rebuilt as a cybergraft upgrade, she later had her body converted to a combat upgrade before joining the new AMP.

Kiddy is a very emotional person, prone to passionate outbursts of frustration and anger. At times, she seems to thirst for violent confrontations with entities and is all to willing to be the first to tangle with the enemy. She applies much of this mentality to her off-duty life, enjoying Tokyo's varied cuisine and exotic nightlife. Kiddy is also supremely confident of the ability of her cyborg body to handle almost any situation and threat.

Katsumi Liquer

File:KiatsumiLiquer.jpg

Height: 5 ft 5 in
Weight: 115 lb
Eye Color: Blue Purple
Hair: Black (Blue tint)
Age: 27 (Born August 1, 2006)
Birth Place: Hawaii
Aura: Pink, orange, pale yellow, blue-green, blue

(Faint) Black

Katsumi is the daughter of the Gigelf and Fuyuka Liqueur, who were respectively the most powerful sorcerer and sorceress of their generation. She herself is a powerful sorceress in her own right and bears her father's sentient sword Grospolina (aka 'The Emperor of Swords') in battle against entities and supernatural threats of all kinds. Initially, Katsumi was highly distrustful of the AMP in general and Kiddy in particular, but now, she is their most powerful ally and Kiddy's closest friend.

Gigelf Liqueuer was the leader of Project Gaia, an undertaking to use magic and technology to improve the world in partnership with Nemesis, the world of the Lucifer Folk. Fuyuka Liqueur née Hazuki was originally a television news reporter until she fell in love with Gigelf. Presumably, she discovered her own magical powers at that time.

Despite her awesome heritage, Katsumi is a good natured woman, who takes her responsibilities as an AMP officer seriously. Her one true flaw would be her reckless streak that often causes her to take rash actions and decisions when facing powerful entities.

Nami Yamigumo

File:NamiYamigumo.jpg

Height: 5 ft 4 in
Weight: 108 lb
Eye Color: Purple
Hair Color: Black (Dark Purple tint)
Age: 25 (Born June 26, 2008)
Birth Place: Japan
Aura: Light blue, blue, blue green, gold, white

Heir to a long line of Shinto priests and exorcists, Nami is the most tranquil member of the AMP. She is also the tidiest, often shown cleaning up after Katsumi and Kiddy. She uses holy water and ofuda (paper charms with kanji written on them) with varying degrees of effect on Luficer Folk. She wields the Kirin Dagger and White Tiger Sword, two of the five sacred relics of the Yamigumo family. Nami also has the ability to detect Lucifer Hawks nearby.

The Yamigumo family owns a Shinto shrine three hundred meters underground. Nami typically wears the robes of a Shinto priestess instead of the AMP uniform.

Her elder sister Nana has a connection with Mana Isozaki, but the nature of it is unknown. Her late father Razan Yamigumo initially fought against Gigelf Liqueur, but later joined him in his battle against the Lucifer Folk.

Yuki Saito

File:YukiSaito.jpg

Height: 5 ft 1 in
Weight: 102 lb
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Brown
Age: 20 as of 2030 (Born September 10, 2010)
Birth Place: Japan
Aura: Pink, yellow-orange, blue-green, violet

Yuki is the end result of the super-secret YLPER (or ESPER) Project, which attempted to create 'Esper weapons' though the use of genetic manipulation. Her primary power is precognition and clairvoyance. However, she has displayed offensive powers on occasion. Selected for the AMP by Rally Cheyenne personally, Yuki is the team's 'mascot', dispatch officer and Lebia's data processing assistant. Although Yuki sometimes acts a little airheaded (she's only a teenager), she can show a great deal of courage when needed.

Yuki runs a small coffee shop called Labyrinth, but it is more a hobby than a business since she is a full-time police officer. However, the lease stipulates that as long as she runs it, she doesn't have to pay rent.

She met her love interest, Tooru Washio in 1991 as a result of an encounter with a Lucifer Hawk and a magical cofee mill. He was 17 at the time and she was 18. They met again after Yuki returned to her own time, 2028, Tooru having waited over thirty years for her. By that time he had become a wealthy businessman who owned the building she lived in.

Note: In the US release of the Silent Mobius manga, her surname is given as Saiko.

Lebia Maverick

Height: 5 ft 8 in
Weight: 119 lb
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Blonde
Age: 25 (as of 2026; born 18 March 2001)
Birthplace: Los Angeles

Lebia Maverick is a Visionaire, a person whose cybernetic implants allows her to directly interface with computers. She is a special Alpha-class Visionaire whose databank is in an orbiting satellite named Donald, giving her a memory capacity 3000 times that of an ordinary Visionaire. She created the Artificial Intelligences Huey, Duey, and Louey. Louey resembles the monolith from the classic film and Arthur C. Clarke novel 2001: A Space Odyssey; Duey is a vaguely humanoid walking robot; and Huey is a motorcycle.

As second-in-command of the AMP, Lebia often has to deal with paperwork and disciplining Katsumi and Kiddy. As a Visionaire, Lebia has a deep affinity for machines and can be very emotional when one she was close to gets destroyed. She is the pilot of the Simurgh, the AMP's mobile command center and attack craft.

Lebia's grandfather was Stefan Maverick, who created the first Visionaires. He also built the Cyclotron, a massive circular device buried under Tokyo that was central to Project Gaia.

Lum Cheng

Height: A few inches shorter than Mana
Weight:
Eye Color: Purple
Hair Color:Purple
Age: Under 25
Birthplace: Hong Kong

Lum Cheng is the granddaughter of Avalanche Wong and wielder of the Imperial Sword Gesso, which is considered the equal of Grosspoliner, though it does not seem to be quite as intelligent. Lum Cheng uses elemental magic ranging from fire to water. She first appears in the ninth volume of the manga and somewhat after the halfway point of the 26-episode TV series.

Lum Cheng is young and impetuous and also a little arrogant at times, which sometimes has disastrous results. Despite this, she is tenaciously loyal to her friends. According to her grandfather, she is a feng shui master.

Mana Isozaki

Height: 5 ft 7 in
Weight: 115 lb
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Black, with green tones a little lighter than Kiddy's
Age: 29
Birth Place: Japan

The commander of the AMP since 2028, Mana is almost as mysterious as Rally. The two are old friends, but little more is known of their relationship. Mana uses magic based on a form of Indian Bhuddism (whatever it's based on, the effects are much like most other forms of magic seen in Silent Mobius: big explosions). She used to be intimately involved with Genvara Cheng, the previous wielder of Gesso. Genvara's connexion to Lum Cheng is unknown.

A strict disciplinarian, Mana has little tolerance for tardiness or other offenses.

Antagonists

Ganossa Maximillian

Former student or assistant of Gigelf Liqueur, Ganossa has sold his soul and half of his body to the ruler of Nemesis in return for power. He appears significantly older in the TV episode Mobius Klein and Rally's flashback later. Ganossa was responsible for the failure of Project Gaia, sabotaging the link between Earth and Nemesis. He is a mage with formidable powers, possibly Katsumi's equal.

Ganossa is at least fifty to sixty years old during the years covered in the series despite his youthful appearance. This is because of a curse laid on him by the ruler of Nemesis that causes him to age backwards. His hair is a pale bluish lavender in the TV series.

Rosa Cheyenne

Younger sister of Rally Cheyenne. Half Lucifer Hawk, she left Earth to live on Nemesis years ago and returned to kill her sister in volume 3 of the manga. Her heritage gives her powerful magic, but she does not seem to be her sister's equal. Rosa also fights with a whip.

Rosa appears to be two to four years younger than her sister in the few flashbacks to their childhood. In the present time (2028-30), the difference seems much greater. Her hair is a slightly darker purple than Ganossa's. One of her major motivations is a desire to escape her sister's shadow.

Lucifer Hawks or Lucifer Folk

These creatures come in many forms, and many are shapeshifters. In the TV series, the AMP classifies them into three categories:

  • Category I: low-level creatures that are little more than animals. These often resemble snakes or mantas or other animals.
  • Category II: beings of slightly less than human intelligence and modest magical powers. There is great variation in their appearance
  • Category III: typically somewhat humanoid with magical powers equal to those of even the most power human mages. At least as intelligent as humans.

The more powerful Lucifer Hawks are capable of assuming human form and large collections of lower level ones can take on the form of large objects, such as the AMP's Simurgh command vehicle. Lucifer Hawks can meld with physical objects such as buildings or computers. The more powerful ones have great regenerative powers, but ordinary handguns can kill the lesser ones.

Lucifer Hawks are capable of breeding with humans, as evidenced by the Cheyenne sisters.
