Karl Fei-Ong



Voiced by: Nozomu Sasaki (Japanese), Quinton Flynn (English)

Karl Fei-Ong (Carl in the English dub) is the third of Diva's chevaliers.

Duty
He is first introduced in the series as the chairman of an all-girl's school in his native Vietnam, where he is respected by both teachers and students. Though the girls themselves do not seem to fear him - they are polite and he is polite in return - this gives him access to his prey: test subjects for Cinq Fleshe and oriental girls who conveniently vanish (see below).

Personality
Although usually calm, Karl can be violent and obsession, bordering on mentally disturbed. His manic behaviour stems from being used as a guinea pig in the Delta Project, repeatedly having his limbs removed and replaced.

Becoming a Vampire


Karl is the only one of Diva's chevliers to be turned into a vampire against his will. By this stage Diva is no longer completely reliant on Amschel, making her all the more threatening. Noticably, although he is obviously unnerved by Diva, Karl does not struggle as she prepares to bite him, suggesting that he was lured in by Solomon.

The Phantom


The Phantom is Karl's alter-ego, first seen in Episode 8. The story of the Phantom himself is recounted at the girl's school of which he is chairman - it's not clear whether he based the phantom on the legend or whether the legend is based on him.

While there many of the japanese-looking schoolgirls vanished, their bodies never found. Before the girls went missing they were all given a blue rose.

Relationships with Other Characters
Karl appears to be the outcast of his group. He frequently works alone, rarely talks to the other chevaliers and is often left out of imporant meetings. The cause of this rejection is hinted at in the anime. Like all of her chevaliers Karl loved Diva deeply, however he tried to steal her away and keep her as his own. This undoubtedly was the cause of the rift between him and the other chevaliers, especially Amshel, whom he seems to fear.

Solomon Solomon is Karl's only friend who displays any sympathy towards him. This sympathy however seems to be the result of Solomon's own guilt - not only was he the one who tricked Karl into becoming a vampire, he also aided in his death. Although Karl is rarly involved with his brother's meetings Solomon phones him to keep him updated. Karl and Solomon are briefly seen "playing" together at the end of episode 29 - Karl pretends to attack his brother with his new arm, but Solomon is much too quick and easily catches him by the wrist.

Amshel In complete contrast to Solomon, Karl fears Amshel, probably because the organises the many operations preformed on him.

Amschel intentionally antagonizes Karl, noticeably by insisting James kill Saya despite the fact Karl volunteered first. Later it is revealed that he does this to deliberately provoke Karl into chasing after her, giving him an excuse to kill him.

James Like Amshel James appears to have nothing but disdain for Karl, characterizing him as careless or reckless, and seeing his death more as a convenience than a loss to them.

Nathan Interaction between Nathan and Karl is non-existant.

Death
Amshel himself saw Carl only as a guinea pig, something to experiment on - once the Corpse Corps had been fully developed there was no longer any use for him, so he orders Solomon to kill him.
