Kiryu Sabato

Sabato is the villainous protagonist of Taimanin Murasaki and joins in later games as a supporting character.

Known as the Demonic Specialist Doctor, he was a normal human that partially turned himself into a demon, after getting killed by Murasaki. He joined the Taimanin later as medical and research staff.

Personality
Early on in the series:

Sabato is sadistic and likes to inflict fear and humiliation but mostly cares about his research and craft. Wanting to follow it, with no ethical restriction or care. He is extremely prideful and narcissistic, and tries to present himself as an honorable scientist, which nobody believes. He has an almost overacting evil mad scientist vibe to him, with big laughs and insults but at times acts still refined.

He worked for Nomad and their rival Ryuumon but holds no true alliances, being dishonest and a backstabber. He was easily bored by the work Nomad gave him, and felt under-utilised. Sabato also is a coward and avoids direct conflict unless he has a plan prepared.

He can't remember the names of co-workers, even when trying to. Forgetting them after seconds, he rather uses insulting nicknames for most people.

After Taimanin Murasaki:

His extreme evil behaviour and sadism have calmed down, after years working with the Taimanin, but his acting and evil demeanor persists. Shifted to extreme masochism, as long as it is from Murasaki, he worships the ground she stands on and enjoys the current state of things but expects respect from others. Sabato still is considered a pervert but has become far less of backstabber and has learned to fit into the Taimanin. He still can act rude but has become more loyal.

Appearance
He is a younger middle-aged man with,'' dark gray to black hair and gray eyes. He wears glasses and ''lab coat.

History
Growing up with his sister Kiryu Mikoto, gave him a bit of a complex but just like her became a scientist.

Originally he was a human working for Nomad, trained by his mentor Fulst in the art of Hell technology. Most of note he was Chief-Scientist in the Chaos Arena, serving Black and Oboro. He was the one performing the sex slave body modification on Asagi and Sakura in TA.

Later killed by Murasaki while the Chaos Arena was raided by Taimanin, he was able to resurrect himself as a demon. The demon cells, however ate away at his humanity and threaten to turn him into a mindless beast. To avoid that fate and as revenge he laid out a trap for Murasaki, by leaking information about a new Chaos Arena, he was the master of. Capturing her and Sakura, he starts their training and takes Murasaki virginity. However, the leak of information and deals with the rival group Ryuumon created suspicions against him and specially Ingrid started an investigation. As he sold Ryuumon, Data to for the Saya project, he would certainly be killed should this come out.

Within the events of Taimanin Murasaki, he tries to lower Murasaki's resistance to him, with sexual training, that he can fuse with her body and use her supernatural healing abilities to keep him alive.

His time is running out, as either his own body will kill him or Ingrid.

Able to convince Murasaki to work together, as Ingrid now attacks him directly. He promises to heal a hurt Sakura and also help both Taimanin escape. Both him and Murasaki fuse and are able to counter Ingrid, using the confusion and panic to flee the scene.

After arriving at the academy he was extracted from Murasaki, and imprisoned by the Taimanin. Forced under harsh guidelines, to support them. His personal fascination of Murasaki only grew into possessive, submissive love for her. While slightly annoyed by the Taimanin more moral regulations, he would teach Murasaki about hell technology and enjoy his time.

Kiryuu is seen after that in Taimanin Yukikaze 2, in which he had performed operations to remove the Eve-chip on Yukikaze and Rinko, as they also were effected by sex slave body modification. He gives Akiyama Tatsurou a certain item that is required for the true end of that game.

In Taimanin Asagi 3 he has reverted the body modifications on Sakura and Asagi, still working for the Taimanin. He is captured and almost killed after confronting Muroi Mitsuhiko, which turns out to be his former mentor Fulst, that is infiltrating Gosha Academy. Able to heal himself, he informs Murasaki about the plot of Nomad. Forced to heal after this point he avoids being killed once more and near the end of the game makes sure that Sakura and Murasaki recover from their revival and do not turn into demons.

Timeline ZERO
He is not seen but was off-screen doing the Body Modification of Igawa Asagi (ZERO). A version of him is mentioned in Taimanin Asagi ZERO by Byg, as a Nomad scientist. As Igawa Sakura (ZERO) still requires a cure for the demonic seed, it is hinted in the ending that Igawa Asagi (ZERO) is gonna search for him.

Timeline TABA/RPGX/Action
He is part of the Taimanin group since the events of Taimanin Murasaki.

OVA
The OVA route for him is very different following no clear in-game ending but for him at least it is a bad end. Able to capture Murasaki and showing her of to Edwin Black. He gets into a verbal conflict with Ingrid, the right-hand woman of black, about his probable betrayal. Tricking Ingrid into coming to a church, he rushes her down with multiple revived demons that hold a grudge against The Dark Knight. Able to trick Ingrid with the face of a human child to take her of guard.

Capturing Ingrid early but not Sakura (as she doesn't appear in the OVA), he spends most of his time trying to break her and Murasaki’s will but also to lure in Black and kill him. Presenting the finished training of both women and also making a sales pitch to other demons for "Nabelius", a three-headed dog demon that he wants to mass produce.

Kiryuu wants to put up a show and let him breed with both Ingrid and Murasaki but gets interrupted by Black (disguised as a child). After boasting that Cerberus has Black's DNA and is able to kill his former Boss, Cerberus will stagger looking fearful at Black then suddenly jerk around in pain. After that he split into two, at which point Yatsu Kurou jumps out of him seemingly having cut the monster from within after getting eaten. Having a short conversation implying that both worked together, Kiryuu is in shock summoning demons to kill Black but takes them out with no issue. Murasaki and her brother are now fighting the demons as well. In a final inch effort he tries rushing Black which also ends in failure being slammed into the ground. Black request that Ingrid kills him possibly as for revenge and compensation for the pain she has gone through which she doesn't hesitate to do.

 * As his body has not been taken over by demonic cells and still mostly is human, he will be considered a human that went through demonized but not Demon.
 * Kiryu Mikoto given how he acts with his sister, it can be pressumed his attitude towards women may have been a direct result of his screwed up childhood.
