A great bird-like presence with a drawn bow.
Marks followers with seals and powers the mind-swap arrow; it kept operating after the prince's body died, because his soul did too.
Halkenburg's body is dead (ch 404) but his Flame of Life is unlit — soul and ability remain in play (ch 413).
- CH.404eliminated
Body dead — but his unlit Flame of Life and Nasubi's own words say his soul, in Balsamilco, is still a contestant. Eliminated in form, fighting in fact.
- CH.403critical
Body poisoned with TSK-17 by his own hand after the mind swap; a deliberate gamble with no undo.
- CH.375moderate
His beast's demonstrated lethality deters casual attack.
- CH.358high
Publicly anti-war, minimally guarded, ideologically isolated.
- CH.413His Flame of Life stays unlit; Nasubi confirms he is still fighting. Fires an arrow at Benjamin from Room 1009.
- CH.404Poisons his own body with the stolen TSK-17; it dies that night while he runs the cover-up as 'Balsamilco'.
- CH.403Ambushes Balsamilco at the courthouse and swaps into his body.
- CH.386Consciousness-transfer mechanism inferred from the aftermath of the arrow; Shikaku experiment conducted.
- CH.375Beast marks his sleeping guards with seals.
- CH.359Publicly refuses the succession rite.
- How exactly does Halkenburg's arrow work?
One shot has been fired. The aftermath implies consciousness transfer into a marked guard's body and a life spent as ammunition — inference, not demonstration.
