The mysterious old man (謎の老人 Nazo no Rōjin?) is a character first shown in a luxurious car wearing a breather with his driver in file 1090.

Appearances

The man has never been shown in full in the manga. His facial features in particular are mostly obscured by black shadows. However, he is not completely anonymized, like "The Criminal". His full hair, wavy at the back of his head, and a bushy full beard are particularly recognizable. The man wears traditional Japanese clothing. The man's most striking feature is that he always wears an oxygen mask that covers his mouth and nose and supplies him with oxygen via a tube.

His appearance and his way of speaking in Japanese indicate that the man is of an advanced age.
