Herzog had always been a cunning man, and of course, he never denied it.
Herzog had always believed that the essence of the world was dog eat dog. He lacked the immensely noble birth of the Gattuso and Elizabeth families, the innate bloodline of Minamoto Wakasei and Kazama Ruri, and the legendary experiences and circumstances of Anjou and Hinkg... Whether judged by background, bloodline, or Spirit Voice, Herzog was a thoroughly ordinary hybrid. In the world of hybrids, he was simply a mediocre person blending into the crowd.
Yet Herzog had a brain, ambition, and a personality that was sinister, ruthless, and devoid of scruples. He would stop at nothing to achieve his goals... Herzog did not consider these adjectives derogatory; they were the essential qualities of every successful conspirator. Lacking background, power, and bloodline, he harbored the grand ambition of becoming the final link on the food chain.
