Succulent

Succulent (サキュロント) was a member of Six Arms, the security department of the criminal organization Eight Fingers.

Appearance
Succulent wears black clothing, and has skin so pale, it looks like it has never been exposed to sunlight. He has sharp eyes and gaunt cheeks, making him look like a bird of prey that scavenges ravaged and rotting carcasses.

Succulent appears to have a long scar that runs from his right cheek to his chin.

Personality
Succulent was serious about his job and didn't like anything getting in his way. He was also prideful about the fact that he was a member of Six Arms.

Background
A member of Six Arms, Succulent poses as a representative at a brothel owned by Cocco Doll.

The Men in the Kingdom Arc
and The Men in the Kingdom II Arc Succulent and Staffan Heivish head to the residence of Sebas and Solution, where they attempt to intimidate and force Sebas to pay a hefty fine for a false charge of slave trading. After leaving, he thinks of a plan to eliminate the butler and hired assassins.

While guarding Cocco Doll, he encounters Climb at the secret exit of the brothel and fights him. He defeats Climb and prepares to finish him off and take his head back to Cocco Doll. At this moment, Brain Unglaus shows up and saves Climb, and introduces himself. Succulent attempts to persuade Brain to join the Six Arms, but is turned down. He faces Brain but is easily defeated. Afterwards, he and Cocco Doll are captured and sent to the authorities.

Unfortunately, Succulent's cohorts bribed the officials to release him. He posed as Tuare when Climb, Brain and Lockmeier raided Six Arms' base. Climb would, this time with Lockmeier's aid, fight Succulent again during the raid. Due to Succulent being denied his usual equipment and being forced to wear a maid's outfit while Climb was fully equipped in addition to having Lockmeier's support, the battle this time ended in Climb's victory. Succelent was slain with a sword strike by Climb to his head.

Mass for the Dead Arc
After Eight Fingers collapse, Succulent found himself without a job and switched his talents as a worker. At a bar with Six Arms, they were approached by Hilma who invited Six Arms to work at E-Rantel her using her new position at the Pharmacist's Guild. Zero not wanting to be in debt to her refused. Zero intended to build a new organization with his comrades in Six Arms. Succulent became the head of the drug trade in Zero's nascent criminal empire. Unlike the others Succulent was mostly absent during the executive meetings to establish new routes to peddle drugs.

The criminal empire started slow but was gaining momentum however he and his comrades lost and their noble backers as the Kingdom was cracking down on all illegal activities as part of their concessions to the new Tripartite Alliance. Though this set Six Arms back, Succulent having returned from his journey, brought news of the large amount of goods being transferred to the city of E-Rantel. The information opened a new opportunity to head to E-Rantel as it was apparent that the border city was becoming the new center of the world. Later in order to destabilize the Tripartite Alliance, Zero made a deal with Zurrernorn to complete their Death Spiral ritual. The criminal kept his comrades in Six Arms out of the loop of the plan but they followed his direction and worked with him to guard the site of the ritual thinking it was just a normal job. In the ensuing chaos, Davernoch was killed and Zero escaped, leaving Succulent and the others to be arrested for the incident by Blue Roses and their allies.

Once Zero defected to the Baharuth Empire, he gained amnesty for himself and by extension his comrades, allowing the surviving members of Six Arms to be acquitted of their crimes. They acted as a unit to train and lead a group of workers to fight against a horde of Chaos Beasts that were heading towards E-Rantel. Zero was ordered by the emperor to lead the monsters into the Quarry where the imperial knights would box the Chaos Beasts and eliminate them. Zero followed his orders to the letter but when the reinforcements came he expected them to join in the fray. They did not and Zero suspected something was off. He then called his comrades to get off the quarry floor. That action saved their lives as the quarry floor was broken apart by a mechanism activated by the knights, causing the workers and Chaos Beasts to fall into the Melting Pot. The trap dissolved everyone that fell into the pit killing them. Zero friends who survived the trap watched in horror at the lengths of which the Bloody Emperor would use to achieve victory. On the contrary Zero praised the action as the best method worthy of a leader.

Shortly after the massacre of the workers, Succulent had apparently left Six Arms to go off on his own, forcing Zero to seek a replacement. Shizuni heard from Zero that Succulent went to work for the nobles of the Re-Estize Kingdom, but that was all. Later it was discovered that the former Six Arms member was operating a illegal gambling den at the outskirts of the Kingdom.

His establishment was funded by a noble that allowed him to use a mansion as a venue and due to all the illegal gambling dens being crushed in E-Rantel, his gambling den flourished and operated uncontested to the point that it was an open secret in the town it was based it. His establishment not only carter to betting and games, but also several blood sports such as rat killing and utilized slot machines. It also served as a cover for his smuggling and drug trading venture where he operated a black dust market.

Succulent wanting to gain more influence and respect in the underworld, used his illusion skills to make himself appear as Zero, since his old boss evoked a fiercer reputation than his. Under the guise of Zero he took credit for many feats of the protagonist, including attributing the retreat of Jaldabaoth to himself.

While it did give him the notoriety he wanted, Succulent's gambling den was often visited by dojo stormers seeking to prove themselves. Unwilling to show himself lest the story came out that he was was fraud, Succulent relied on his escorts at the den to keep such people out. To maintain his boss image, he sequestered himself in an underground basement on the property of the den and only allowed his executives to visit him once a month to deliver reports on the operation, which he called "harvest".

Due to rumors about the den reaching Clementine, it was reported to Soi who reported it to Momonga who then authorized an investigation of the den as there was an interest in the suspect slot machines being evidence of a player. Soi coordinated with Shizuni and Ku to infiltrate the establishment and locate the boss. Once his hideout was located and his illusion was dropped, Succulent was defeated by the three women. As for his fate, due to him being an inconvenience to Lupusregina Beta and CZ2128 Delta's worker identities in New Six Arms, Momonga decided to have him imprisoned in the Frozen Prison. It was believed that the human could provide the Sorcerer Kingdom with valuable information on the underworld.

Zero

 * (To Sebas about Tuare): "But I should really thank that prostitute. I never expected for merchandise that was about to be scrapped to lay this big of a golden egg, or so a certain someone says."
