Shigure Rangetsu is a Legate-rank exorcist swordsman. He is Rokorou's older brother and the current leader of the Rangetsu family. He is described as a character with a carefree attitude that goes unappreciated by exorcists. However, he proves himself through his excellent battle skills.

On the other hand, Melchior is a Legate elder who is a master of alchemy from The Abbey. His extensive experience places him as the advisor for Artorius, the head of the exorcists. Even though his main role is support-oriented, he is a powerful Arte wielder in his own right.
