Yates, aka Hokuto) "Souten no Balmung" (Balmung of the Azure Sky/Heaven) and "Fianna no matsuei" (Descendant of Fianna). One of the more powerful denizens of The World, who has been playing long before anyone else listed here, and was one of the original .hackers. In .hack//UdeDen, he was made a System Admin by CC Corp, and he organizes very weird events for the players. He decided to do this after the events of the final episode of .hack//SIGN, UNISON. His class is Blademaster, "sub-class" System Administrator, and uses an angelic-knight avatar. In the 2nd book he is fired as an administrator. He takes on more work than he can handle, often shoving it all to his assistant Reki and falling asleep in front of his computer, putting his character in a napping position.

Mistral has a goofy and fun personality. She likes hanging around Kite because of his special ability, and wants to see it as much as she can. Mistral's pleasant attitude goes with her wherever she travels in The World. She may appear childish, but her true self is reliable and dedicated. Despite her childish looks and behavoir, she is actually a married and a mother to be. Having to leave the dothackers for a time due to her unborn daughter. Another Birth reveals she and Blackrose were very close, with Blackrose seeing her as a big sister she could reveal all her secrets to,and the two kept in touch whether inside or outside the game through phonecalls and offline meetings. In the Legend of Twilight manga Mistral plays a minor role, only being present when it's revealed she is Mireille's mother and the one who arranged for Kazu (BlackRose's little brother) to come to Shugo's aid.
Elk14 fan favorites
External profile
Elk's PC is a young, blue-haired boy wearing dark blue robes. He almost always has a gloomy expression on his face. In terms of appearance, he is an almost identical twin of Tsukasa, the only difference being minute changes in their robes, gloves, and hat, and a change in color scheme. Tsukasa is mostly gray and brown while Elk is blue and gray. Elk's face tattoo is also slightly different. Elk is a rather insecure person online. He seems to have a lot of trouble trusting other players, and is always shocked when somebody is nice to him. The only person he seems to trust is Mia, who he is rarely separated from. He can be downright mean to people if he feels they are trying to draw Mia's attention away from him.
