Nagi
Nagi is the former captain of the White Whale, an interstellar immigrant ship. He currently serves as the military director of the autonomous government of NLA (New Los Angeles).
In order to protect the livelihood of those living on Planet Mira, he works himself to death on a daily basis with government affairs.
