Guys
An obstinate, reckless boy from a poor family. Guys lived with his mother, an older brother and a particularly gruff father. He never attended school and so is only semi-literate. Before going to prison he associated with delinquents of his own age and participated in petty crimes such as shoplifting. However some of the people he associated with seemed to be very disadvantaged and included homeless orphans or prostitutes. After he was incarcerated, some newspapers published details of his family causing them to lose their jobs and forcing them to move away.
Guys makes up his mind to get out of the prison on his second day of being there and, despite all doubts, Lusca’s objections and the fact that his family is gone, he holds on to this idea (unless you get on a path to a bad ending) only temporarily sinking in to depression after losing the first trial. While in prison, Guys is fairly self-contained and only seeks help with his retrial when Lusca encourages or tells him to do so. He seems more motivated to leave the prison by the treatment of himself and the other prisoners at the hands of the guards and the monotonous life in the prison than by the abuse he suffers at the hands of Durer and Guildias (although that is still a factor). Apparently heterosexual, he never thought he’d have sex with a man. Guys is also quite grounded and optimistic but has fears of worn, wounded people and of losing the will to live. His notable other traits are his clumsiness and his rather short temper.

Vallewida
An ex-soldier presumed to be in his mid twenties. In “normal mode” he’s very kind, warm and gentle or as Guys puts it, “A model citizen.” Vallewida states the death of his father when he was young which led to him filling the father role for his siblings as the reason for this and also the advice his father gave to him (his father was also a soldier.) His cell is right next to Guys and on every route, Guys meets Vallewida outside his cell while he is in ghost mode. While in the army Vallewida was an officer in a special tasks force and although his job was to gather information and he never actually fought, he received a wide training and seems to be pretty good at combat as well as having expertise in weapons, corpses and “other weird stuff” as Evan puts it. After a while though, he complained to the commanding officer of his unit, Ellis, a friend of his from the academy about the crimes he saw the soldiers committing in the occupied territory such as rape, wheat smuggling and the selling of any art or treasures. In the case of the wheat smuggling, soldiers were extorting it as extremely low prices from local farmers, so much so that the farmers starved, and selling it at such low prices that other French farmers were being put out of business. Ellis agreed with him but said it was good for the soldiers’ morale. Vallewida acknowledged this but still couldn’t abide by it and so deserted, after getting hold of a receipt for one of Bollanet’s shipments which proved his wheat smuggling schemes and hiding it in a crucifix. He was caught and thrown into brig (military prison) where he met two women being held captive, the younger of which he managed to help escape.
Infuriated by this, the other soldiers beat him badly and took him to the same commanding officer, who told the soldiers to use Vallewida instead of the woman and was one of the men who then raped him. Afterward he told Vallewida, “I wish I’d done you sooner” and made Vallewida his personal sex slave. Vallewida created a separate personality to deal with the abuse he endured from Ellis and developed amnesia. He deserted a second time only to be arrested by Guildias at the port he returned to (under the pretext of adultery with an ambassador's wife), tried in a civilian court and thrown into prison. (Vallewida also appears to have got several men from his unit caught up in Bollanet’s conspiracy; he says something implying this in one of his flashbacks.) He has been in the prison for two years on Guys’ arrival, undergoing torture from Bollanet and Durer who were trying to find the document although Vallewida completely forgot about it along with most of his memories from the military.
He has several personalities, a masochistic, nymphomaniac “ghost mode,” a completely expressionless, unresponsive ghost mode (he takes on a southern accent in this state) and his normal self. Either of his ghost modes is brought on by being tortured by Durer or Bollanet and he returns to normal mode after a while (a while being a few seconds to several days.) In normal or ghost mode he gets flashbacks accompanied by bad headaches if Guys unknowingly repeats what Ellis, Bollanet or certain other people from the military said four years ago. In these flashbacks he tends to re-enact a scene from his past, repeating his own or another person’s words in the scene.
On Vallewida’s route, Guys enquires about the reason for the ghost modes and Vallewida lies about having an opium addiction, not being aware at that time what causes the ghost modes himself. Guys is somewhat scared of touching Vallewida, due to a fear of becoming as resigned to death as he is and a fear of getting caught up in his suffering. His great self-confidence and composure irritates Guys who after the paint rape scene, disregards him as “a man who wishes he were born a woman.” After being rescued by Vallewida, Guys is then annoyed by having been made feel weak and helpless. When he enquires into the particulars of Vallewida’s incarceration, Vallewida says he cannot remember but knows it had something to do with his desertion and he believes he should have been executed instead of being sentenced to life in prison. As a pretext for his desertion he claims he fell in love with the wife of an ambassador he was investigating and planned to elope with her despite having a partner at the time, a girl he promised to marry when he was back from duty.
Vallewida is also religious but not extremely so. According to him, it’s due to the fact that his parents were religious and he thinks that it’s nice to feel there’s someone watching over you. Despite this though, he only thinks of religion as a last resort. In prison he is very quiet, seldom leaving his cell and spending most of his time reading although he is friendly with Evan, the two seem to discuss their shared experiences of Bollanet and Guildias. He seems to have completely given up hope of being released and resigned himself to the fact that he will probably die in the prison and never be remembered by anyone. His rescue of Guys from the group of rapists seems to jog his memory of his aiding the escape of one of the captive girls in the brig and the second time he is cornered by the same rapists he appears to re-enact the rescue, treating Guys as the girl. Eventually realising where he is, he regains his memory of everything that had occurred prior to his coming to the prison. In Shion’s ending, he becomes an artist and helps decorate Shion and Guys’ restaurant though his occupation after being released is never disclosed in any other ending.

Belbet
An insane prisoner, who hasn’t washed or cut his hair in years, believes he is the dethroned king of France and adores chocolate. Although unpredictable, he is quite friendly to Guys who enjoys listening to his farfetched stories of why he got exiled from the throne which range from falling in love with an enemy princess to angering an enemy country because he preferred French chocolate to theirs. Belbet speaks in a regal tone of voice despite looking extremely wild and dishevelled, as he has since before he came to the prison, several years before Guys came. He is serving a life sentence though it is never stated what his crime was. It is suggested that he was thrown in prison just for being insane.
Although Belbet is well known in the prison as the resident lunatic and so is generally avoided by the other prisoners and guards, Evan seems to know him and plays along with his act. Later on, Evan reveals that he knew Belbet’s madness or at least some of it was put on and that he wanted Belbet to be the one to reveal the truth about Bollanet in his place.
In the past, Belbet was the assistant/colleague/friend of a taxman called Jake Darling who was murdered while investigating the wheat smuggling conspiracy. Belbet felt he’d betrayed Jake because the night Jake left to investigate, Belbet refused to go with him claiming there was no conspiracy. After Jake’s death Belbet faked his madness in order to be thrown into jail so he could take revenge on Bollanet. The last Lusca, who had known him through Evan and Jake, heard of him was that he became neurotic and retired after Jake’s death. Following Guys’ first trial, on the Lusca and Evan routes, Guys finds Belbet, having been forcibly washed and had his hair cut, in the library. There Belbet gives Guys cryptic aphorisms and clues as to Jake’s death, telling him to say them to Lusca and it is clear that his sanity is rapidly deteriorating. He is later shot by the guards on attempting to escape the prison. There are several scenarios to this, one of which has Guys witness Belbet’s death after Belbet mistakes him for Jake (later in the game Evan tells Guys that Belbet thought he was the image of Jake), tells him he wants to go with him and then runs out of the prison. In another possible scenario, Guys is told by Evan that Belbet was shot when he wrestled free of the guards and tried to escape after they took him out of a penance chamber (having been put in a penance chamber for attacking Bollanet when he came to visit the prison on the day of Guys first trial).
Belbet and Jake were most likely lovers considering a) this is a yaoi game, b) Belbet was Jake’s “assistant” and that can only mean one thing and c) Guys comments on Belbet’s experience when he’s raped by him.

Lusca
A once highly accomplished lawyer who collaborated with Evan. The two were also lovers/partners at some stage. Once Evan was incarcerated despite Lusca’s best efforts in defending him, Lusca seemed to lose all ambition and became a heavy drinker. Due to this, his appearance is of little importance to him, he always wears the same shabby suit and has ruffled hair. Lusca was assigned to Guys by the police station and managed to avoid Guys receiving the death penalty in the first trial. Guys’ mother then paid him to visit Guys twelve times after the family moved. At first Lusca was highly unmotivated and he believed Guys had no hope of a retrial but after meeting Evan again, despite the two previously promising not to keep in touch, he becomes much more serious and diligent about the case. He possesses a very calm and level-headed personality, which makes Evan all the more surprised when he admits to his feelings for Guys in the Lusca route, which Lusca first mistakes for brotherly love, having only an elder sister to compare to. He maintains communications with Evan through Guys, though neither expect to be able to win the Bollanet case, and promises to see Evan one more time before his death to say goodbye. In the Lusca, Evan and Vallewida endings, Lusca and Guys manage to exonerate Evan and convict Bollanet and Durer and Lusca regains his reputation as a top lawyer.
Evan
A former newspaper journalist specialising in politics, Evan was falsely charged with theft after investigating Bollanet. He had gotten word of some bribing going on and suspected Bollanet of smuggling words of art during his time as a soldier. After trying to secretly inspect Bollanet’s art collection, he was suddenly arrested by Guildias for robbery. Lusca, who also suspected Bollanet of buying his way into promotion, tried and failed to prove Evan innocent. Evan was given a sentence of a few years but knew that Durer would kill him before he was released. He had a brother ten years younger than him who was murdered by Guildias on the day Evan was arrested. Lusca is his childhood friend, former collaborator and partner whom he broke off contact with in order to protect once he was targeted by Bollanet. When the two meet again because of Guys, Evan encourages Lusca to take an interest in Guys’ case, considering Guys’ victory a way of getting revenge of Guildias. From then on, he communicates to Lusca about Bollanet via the letters he gives Guys.
Evan is supposedly around thirty, near the same age as Lusca. He meets Guys on the way to his cell if you choose to sit with Jose or in the dining room if you choose otherwise. Guys at first thinks of Evan as a loudmouth, is suspicious of his friendliness and later comments on how he’s so optimistic it’s unnerving. He also notes that Evan is like his mom in mannerisms and his dad in appearance. Evan puts up a very carefree, cheerful façade in the prison and appears to spend his time participating in gambling, which he is very good at. Later Guys becomes relatively close to him and treats him as a valuable aide in proving his innocence. Like Vallewida, Evan is resigned to the fact that he will probably die in prison. He sometimes discusses the Bollanet conspiracy with Vallewida, whom he seems to be on friendly terms with.
Evan is very kind to Io whom he treats like a younger brother. On the Lusca route, he confesses to Lusca that he feels he wasn’t there for his little brother when he needed him and so seeing Io happy gives him hope. He also asks Lusca to look after Io if he doesn’t get out of prison and says that Io is doing the same time as him. Evan also seems friendly with Belbet but uncertain at the same time, he warns Guys at one stage to not get too friendly with Belbet possibly for fear that Durer will do something. Evan claims to have been in the prison for three years shortly after Guys arrives and his release date seems shortly after Guys’ second trial. He initially dodges around the reasons for his imprisonment when Guys asks him, saying that he was accused of kidnapping by the father of a girl he tried to run away with. Also on the Lusca route Evan admits that he finds Guys awfully cute though his transition to a physical relationship with Guys on the Evan route comes across as a little sudden.

Jose
A rude, unkind, overbearing, violent maniac/juvenile delinquent a little older than Guys who was imprisoned for raping a nun (which you only find out on the Jose/Vallewida path). The length of his sentence is not specified but he is released a short while before Guys’ second trial. In appearance, he is very tall, with pierced ears and two tattoos on one arm. Jose leads a gang of boys his own age in the prison and he keeps Io as a sex slave (though according to him, he isn’t gay, he simply regards feminine boys like Io as suitable substitutes for girls). He is completely illiterate and was part of the group of delinquents that Jared used to associate with. He claims that he also greatly admired Jared for his strength, kindness and respectful attitude and was very fond of working with him. Thanks to this connection, Jose contributes Jared’s diary to Guys, having smuggled it in from outside, in return for sex in all the good ending routes and the diary proves to be an essential item in proving Guys’ innocence and Guildias’ guilt. Throughout the time in prison, Jose frequently attempts to rape and seduce Guys although it is possible for Guys and him to form a romantic relationship and live together once free from prison, Jose working as a private detective and Guys presumably as his assistant. Whether or not you get the Jose ending, he and Guys form a strange friendship while in prison with Jose sometimes seeming genuinely concerned with Guys’ wellbeing although continually flirting with/threatening him.
Io
An extremely shy, quiet prisoner about a year younger than Guys, Io always trails after Jose despite the horrible treatment he receives, is extremely humble and has a very low sense of self-worth. He is in prison for murder, although he seems to greatly regret it and goes into a state of shock if he sees blood. It is suggested that Io murdered someone by hitting them in the head with a rifle as he is able to tell Guys that hitting someone in the back of the head with one would leave a mark when Guys is researching ways to prove that Jared was hit with a paperweight. The only other thing about his past we ever find out is that he was an only child. Jose uses Io as a toy and sex slave, forcing him to do some pretty awful things including stripping off and eating from the floor in front of all the other prisoners and having sex against his will with Guys. In spite of it all Io is friendly and helpful toward Guys and, in Evan’s view, he’s surprisingly thoughtful and cheerful. Likewise, Io admires Evan and regards him as an older brother. Guys criticises Io for never standing up to Jose and encourages him to do so as does Evan. Although Io lures Guys into Jose’s traps on several occasions, Guys forgives him, acknowledging at one stage that Io has been “treated like dirt” far longer than he himself has been and “He must think of himself as dirt now”. In Shion’s ending we hear of him as working as an apprentice to an organist after getting out of prison and becoming a good friend of Shion.
Shion
A very friendly boy Guys meets who, though self-assured and cheerful, seems distanced from the other prisoners, spending most of his time reading (with a preference for cookbooks) alone. Like Guys, he is or was the youngest child in his family (although he had a lot more siblings) and he never went to school but he learned to read through his job in a textile magazine where one of his tasks was to write receipts. He is about Guys’ age with lighter toned hair and eyes and he has a particularly radiant smile that Guys comments on. Shion had a slightly dysfunctional background, his mother died giving birth to him, he witnessed his father’s murder at age four (although he can’t remember it), his foster parents who were owners of a textile shop committed suicide after being tricked by a merchant, the rest of his family has died or disappeared since then and he had just gotten a job fixing the roof of a church when he accidentally dropped a toolbox on his friend’s head, killing him. This was the crime that put him in prison, though his sentence doesn’t seem that long as he is due to be released about two years after Guys’ first trial. Understandably since then, he has decided to never become emotionally close to or responsible for someone as he believes it was somehow his fault that he lost all the people close to him.
He is slightly envious of Guys early on for having no previous traumas but is still quite affectionate towards him. Shion also seems very immature with regards to feelings as when Guys confesses his love, Shion seems quite unaware of what to do or say and of his own emotions. His relationship with Guys gets a little turbulent during its progression to the romantic stage (Guys gets pissed off because Shion shows only kindness and no jealousy or hurt on his part toward Guys after he’s raped by Guildias) as he still remains uneasy about showing all of his true emotions to someone despite the fact that Guys has already promised to stay with him after they leave prison. He works as an odd-job man around the prison instead of making shoes which gives him a chance to hear guards gossip and news which he then passes on to Guys.
Shion is a hidden character, his route only available after getting Ending 1. His path is fairly removed from the others and his romance scenes come earliest in the game and so he has been described as something of a Mary Sue perfect love interest for Guys.

Durer
An indescribably sadistic and cruel guard. He is Bollanet’s son and representative of sorts in the prison, ensuring all of the people jailed by Bollanet are killed. Durer is also the chief guard in the prison (probably due to his father’s position) and he frequently abuses the prisoners, especially those who have been jailed by Bollanet or, according to Shion, anyone he doesn’t like or who looks at him the wrong way. The other guards seem aware of his tendencies and attempt to put up with it (they are probably forced to due to the position of Bollanet’s position) although one complains of the medic having to deal with the prisoners’ severe injuries from Durer nearly every day (he is quickly silenced) and Shion mentions one guard resigning after a week, having been molested by Durer and several of the prisoners.
When Bollanet comes to visit the prison Durer brings him prisoners to rape or torture and then sits in on these sessions. Durer displays a fondness for many fetishes including urolagnia, bondage and BDSM and he is the perpetrator of the ugliest rape scenes in the game. He is arrested along with Bollanet if you unlock one of the endings where Bollanet’s conspiracy is exposed. Vallewida is one of his favourite prisoners to torture along with Guys but he, like Guys seems slightly afraid of Vallewida’s ghost mode. This doesn’t work in Vallewida’s favour however, in fact it only makes Durer hurt him more.
Durer has a pretty extreme love-hate relationship with Vallewida as, while he seems to enjoy torturing Vallewida and taunting him for being “A traitor who pledged loyalty to his land and then ran away” he masturbates to the thought of killing him and it is doubtful that Vallewida would still be alive if it weren’t for Bollanet’s interest in the information he stole. Durer’s preference for Vallewida is so well-known that Vallewida is sometimes referred to as “Durer’s woman” and the prisoners claim that he keeps his hair long because Durer likes it that way. The other prisoners also assume that Vallewida enjoys this treatment since he goes into nymphomaniac ghost mode in the torture sessions and give him a wide berth presumably because of this.

Guildias
The haughty, mentally unstable, paedophilic detective who arrests Guys. As a child, he lived with his blind mother in one of the rooms in the prison. His mother was brought gifts of candles from a man who wanted to be boss of the prison (yes, that’s very vague but it’s as much information that we’re ever given.). Guildias was also sexually abused by his father without his mother’s knowledge before and after his mother died in an epidemic and he was adopted. He now lives on his own, without any servants, his adoptive parents being always busy and he has “taken to his father’s habits” as he puts it. Guys’ initial opinion of him is “a nasty fellow who doesn’t care about anything.” Later on after witnessing one of Guildias’ delusions, in which Guildias assumes the personality of his own father, Guys fears him like he does Vallewida for being “a man living in a world of his very own” and considers him to be more dangerous than Durer.
Although Guildias is described as not having any connection to the prison, he collaborates with Bollanet on a few occasions, arresting Evan and Vallewida and anyone else who may be a danger to Bollanet and erasing proof of Durer’s abuse in the prison. Like Durer, he has a penchant for teasing and torturing Guys although with different, slightly more humiliation-focused methods. He comes to visit Guys in the prison several times during the game, attempting to make Guys abandon proving his innocence and he threatens Lusca and Guys’ friends with the same motive before and after the first trial. In ending 1, Guys discovers that Guildias kidnapped Myuca, first keeping him locked in a room then disguising him as a girl. Myuca spotted Guys one day and called out to him and Guys, though he can’t remember the incident, turned his head. This made Guildias worried that Guys would somehow take Myuca away from him and so he hatched a plan to kill Jared and frame Guys for the murder.

Bollanet
The corrupt minister of the police. Similar to Durer he loves “painful expressions” and his preferences include dirty, feminine guys and lively young boys. He was a commanding officer in the army in occupied territory several years back and bought his way into promotion as an official when he returned with the money he made from smuggling wheat which he had extorted at a dirt price from farmers. His sudden promotion on return from duty despite having neither name, fortune or a good education, aroused a few suspicions but, using Guildias and Durer, Bollanet sent anyone who may have posed a threat to him to prison and then disposed of them, faking their deaths as accidents. Near the end of the game, he mentions trying to sort Vallewida out before the next election since he has many rivals who wish to usurp him. In most endings, he is convicted for smuggling by Lusca except in Shion’s ending where Evan and Lusca convict him for election fraud.
Myuca
A friend of Guys who came from a large family. He was extremely cute and effeminate, so much so that Guys at first mistook him for a girl. Guys likens him to Io but says he wasn’t as shy but didn’t realise that guys were always trying to pick him up. He was kidnapped by an obsessed Guildias who held him captive and disguised him as a girl. Jared’s last commission was from Myuca’s parents asking him to find their son. Guildias strangled Myuca in anger after Myuca called out to Guys when they passed on the street and kept his body preserved in a cave in his garden.
Jared
A private detective that lived in the town. He frequently associated with a group of juvenile delinquents to whom he gave his notebook before he met with Guildias as he thought it likely that he would be killed. True to his suspicions, he was murdered by Guildias the day he went to meet him to see about Myuca’s disappearance (the last person Myuca was seen with was Guildias). His body was found, mutilated and covered in stab wounds with his face bashed in (Guildias hit him in the head with a paperweight then stabbed him to death), in a street near the shop Guys robbed from. Although Jared’s identity was unknown to the newspapers, Lusca was able to discover it by asking about him at his local laundry, the address to which had been on the tag of his suit and was then able to inquire about his occupation by writing to his family.
Jake Darling
A tax man who disappeared one night while investigating Bollanet’s wheat smuggling. He was Belbet’s boss and lover and, during the investigation into Bollanet, Evan used to work with him a lot, consulting him on legal procedures. Using the clues Belbet gave Guys before his death, Lusca and Guys found Darling’s body under a pile of cow carcasses in an abattoir near Belbet’s home with a pill case in his rib cage containing a contract with a trader signed by Bollanet that gave proof of the wheat smuggling scheme. On the night of his death he had written “Make a hole in my guts, darling,” on Belbet’s house as a clue to the location of the document.
