Johan Liebert

Johan Liebert is the titular "monster" of the story who serves as the principal antagonist and the mystery of his past is the focus of the plot. He has been called a monster, the next Hitler and even the devil himself. Johan Liebert was shot in the head at a young age but saved from death by Dr. Tenma. Because of this, he regards Dr. Tenma almost as though he was his father. While he claims to have a deep love for his twin sister and is shown to have a loyalty to her, he seems undisturbed by the fact that his own henchman Roberto was ready to have her killed to keep her from him. He has spent portions of his life in different places under different aliases and possesses an extraordinary level of charisma and intelligence. Along with that incredible intelligence, comes with his cunning, manipulative and above all excellent with deceitfulness. As he is he was once seen able to convince Detective Richard Braun that he was lying about being an alcoholic. While he is shown to be kind, compassionate, and loving to children; it should be noted that he can be cold and very cruel. He even seems to have a good idea of how minds will work, an example would be when he sent a child witness that had seen him (dressed as Nina) into a red light district. Its most likely he knew that the boy would be devastated by the perversions and cruelty in the area. He uses his gifts to cruelly manipulate and corrupt others, often with no apparent end other than to cause suffering and destruction. His goal, as he stated when he was young, is to be the last one standing at the end of the world.
