Satsuki Kurogiri

Kurogiri Satsuki (玄霧皐月) is an antagonist of the sixth chapter of Kara no Kyoukai, "Oblivion Recording". Said to be the only mage in the world to be able to speak the ancient "Unified Language". He has several names, "God's Word: Book of Fake god", "Master of Babel: Unified Language Master", "God's Word May Day". As expected from his unusual talent, the Mage's Association branded him for a Sealing Designation.

Name and abilities
Babel comes from the famous Babylonian tale. Humans created the Tower of Babel to reach the heavens, but God grew angry and destroyed the tower, along with the language. This language was the Unified Language that is able to communicate any kind of concept. It was destroyed so humans wouldn't be able to combine their power and cannot do anything defiant again. "May Day" comes from Satsuki's name: "皐月" is the month of May in the old Japanese calendar. Not only can he speak with any person in the world, but he is able to read people's past by accessing another plane of the world, where the Unified Language works at. He's also a powerful hypnotist because the meaning of his words go directly to the body of the person.

History
Born in England, he came in contact with fairies and lost his memory. Trying to find a way to retrieve his memories, he attended the Atlas Academy to study sorcery. There he attained the Unified Language and became the youngest sorcerer to attain a Masters Degree. However this didn't help him, since he didn't just loose his memory, but lost his ability to recognize his memory and to know that it's true. Since, he has been traveling around the world as a teacher, hoping to find his past within other people's memories. He was teaching English at the Reien Girl's Academy. He's a light weight, black haired young man wearing a pair of glasses.

Role
A sorcerer who pursued eternity and wanted to see the world where everyone did what they wanted to do. He believed that true eternity is one where the observer doesn't change and the object that is observed doesn't change either. He returns people's lost memory and just lets people do what they want to do. But according to Shiki, he was running away from his responsibilities. He had the intelligence of knowing what's good and bad yet he didn't do anything to differentiate. And people forget things for a reason... He's very similar in appearance to Kokuto Mikiya. Even their names can both be read, a "Black Kiri". But Mikiya cared for other people while Satsuki was a hollow person without a past.
