Chess Belle/Relationships

Chess Belle is the seventeenth progenitor vampire who is often with Horn Skuld where they both act as aides for Crowley Eusford. In conflicts with the Japanese Imperial Demon Army and the Moon Demon Company Chess worked to capture the human members of these organizations. Chess interacts with various other characters throughout the Seraph of the End series, which affects herself and the story. This article details Chess's relationships with other characters.

Horn Skuld
She is almost always with Horn who as with herself is one of Crowley's servants. She is mature and serious, Chess's opposite. Chess states that she is stuffy yet there is no feeling of ill will between them not even when Horn is favored in some situations such as having the chance to drink Crowley's blood. Whilst Chess benefits from having some details being explained to her of which Horn assists with they do share the same opinion on matters such as on Ferid Bathory. They function very effectively together in combat settings from jointly deflecting attacks to Chess being ready to stab at a foe that Horn has hoisted into the air using her whip.

Crowley Eusford
A member of Ferid's political sect who is currently residing in Nagoya. Crowley is a very laid-back and powerful vampire where Chess serves him with Horn. It is unknown if Chess is aware that this thirteenth progenitor in reality is more akin to a seventh progenitor in terms of power. Outside the walls of Shinjuku Chess would descend to reinforce Crowley when he was facing a group of humans armed with cursed gear. She questioned why he was wasting his time on them. Later Chess helped in capturing members of the Moon Demon Company. In Nagoya she would have questions again and be informed of very sensitive speculative information on the source of the human's strength. Whether due to how Crowley perceived her conduct at that moment or not Chess was selected to approach Crowley where he swung a sword into her. Whilst she drew her weapon in time, was thrown into a wall yet was unharmed it remains so that Chess was chosen in a one off test to gauge the weapon's strength. As with Horn, it was not expected of Chess to join in the fighting when humans were attempting to free hostages outside Nagoya city hall rather Chess was on standby to observe Crowley engage the leaders of the movement without a care. She would repel cursed gear manifestations to permit Crowley to continue holding Guren Ichinose and fight on his behalf with the arrival of other humans. Chess received practical guidance from Crowley in interrogating Guren and was defended by the vampire noble she served when Yūichirō Hyakuya attacked her.

Ferid Bathory
A seventh progenitor residing in Japan. He is unpredictable, secretive, and often cold to Crowley, but Crowley follows and supports him anyway thus Chess follows accordingly. Ferid leads the attack against Shinjuku of which Chess takes part in. With Horn and Crowley as well their presence in the vicinity altered Ferid's kill the humans present to capture them instead. Like Horn, Chess thinks of Lord Ferid as sneaky and tricky, and she never knows what he is thinking. She says she does not like him because she does not understand him.

Lacus Welt
Currently a city guard working with Mikaela Hyakuya and René Simm. Ferid gives orders to him on the Shinjuku battlefield, an invasion they both took part in. Chess and Lacus were also successful in capturing prominent members of the Moon Demon Company.

René Simm
As with Lacus he is currently a city guard who works with Mika as well. He acts on Ferid's orders like Chess does with Crowley's and took part in the invasion of Shinjuku.

Krul Tepes
The vampire queen of Japan and a third progenitor. Chess hears from Crowley that she might be behind the betrayal of vampires by providing information to the humans hence how they acquired such an extent of power in so short a time.

Mikaela Hyakuya
A very young vampire who is currently a city guard and occasionally works with Lacus and René. Whilst he is Ferid's favored servant and Krul's favorite pet when Chess draws near him in Shinjuku she does not comment on Mika or his act in taking Yu away. She might have seen him again had Chess remained at Nagoya City hall when Mika arrived and vanquished the vampires with him.

Guren Ichinose
A Lieutenant Colonel of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army in addition to the leader of the Vampire Extermination Unit's Moon Demon Company Guren acts as leader of the human resistance in Shinjuku. Her arrival there was what prompted Guren to order a retreat since Chess was a part of three additional vampire nobles in the area. It is unknown if Chess learnt that Guren was the one who had a hand in turning Yu into the one winged monster she saw there. He is in command of the attack against the vampires in Nagoya and sent six squads to execute Chess, Horn and Crowley. Their plan in response was to capture those sent to destroy them and tie them to crosses outside the city hall then await a leader to capture. With the plan working Chess did not fight Guren directly with Crowley more than capable of doing this yet she was happy to share how thirsty they were when honing in on Guren and Shinya. Charged with interrogating Guren on where the humans gained their power Chess pressed him to start talking. She physically pinned Guren down to prevent him from joining the battle Crowley was having with Yu.

Shinya Hīragi
The vampire invasion of Shinjuku that Chess was a part of ended in the humans favour as a result of Shinya's arrival with the main force of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army. At Nagoya Chess is on standby to intervene if he tries to assist Guren in his fight against Crowley. Like her fellow nobles there Chess was not fussed at all that Shinya managed to escape even though he would have been a strategically very important hostage as a Major General of the Imperial Demon Army and member of the Hīragi family.

Mitsuba Sangū
First coming across her outside Shinjuku Chess paid Mitsuba little mind since she was just another human. That they had come across one another before had little bearing when Chess defeated Mitsuba during the battle at Shinjuku. Having captured her as instructed Chess proceeded to drink Mitsuba's blood leaving a minor neck injury that Yu would comment on later.

Yoichi Saotome
Another member of Shinoa squad that Chess would face at Shinjuku. Chess, Horn and Crowley would be targeted by the explosive ranged attack from Yoichi's cursed gear and she would wonder what the projectile was.

Yūichirō Hyakuya
Even though Crowley has been disarmed of his sword by Yu, Chess did not see him as a threat. Leaving him to join Ferid at the front lines Chess would later find him again further in Shinjuku. She was in the area when Yu violently transformed into a powerful one-winged monster with the strength to trouble Crowley. At Nagoya Chess was ready to use her sword against Yu when he burst from the floor below in an attempt to rescue Guren. Bringing her weapon down Chess would have it blocked but the impact from her power would cause the ground under Yu to fracture.

Shinoa Hīragi
When Shinoa and her squad saw Chess along with Horn and Crowley as serious threats Chess felt the opposite. She would hamper the retreat of Shinoa's squad members at Shinjuku. At Nagoya Chess would find her sword directed at Yu come into contact with Shinoa's scythe instead.

Norito Goshi
Chess experienced the illusionary effects of Goshi's cursed gear where the magma cave that she was in also felt hot. If she even saw Goshi physically Chess was indifferent to this member of Guren's squad in his rescue attempt of their squad leader and his escape.
