James Wright

James Wright is an old, rich professor, whose wife left him early in life with the birth of his daughter Isabelle. Because of this he spoils the child rotten. He himself doesn't see Isabelle's bad points, and after she has become under Nibori's influence everything she does to please him is not her fault according to James.

He become the guardian of Alice and Matt after they've become orphans, and Camille after Alice saves her from getting killed.

Because his daughter Isabelle becomes infatuated with Nibori, he uses her as a leverage to get James to help him. James does so, reluctantly, turning against his former "children" Alice, Matt and Camille. He has a broad range of skills, and great intelligence. He develops a drugs from Akane's blood that makes humans as strong as demons, but it has a horrible side-effect, namely disfiguring the humans who take the drugs, making them suffer almost unbearable pain.

He gets killed by Meilynh, a Shade, before he can finish developing the drugs, so Nibori is forced to find someone else to do it for him.
