Profile

Background
Edit
Born in England, he came in contact with fairies and lost his memory. Trying to find a way to retrieve his memories, he attended the Atlas Academy to study sorcery. There he attained the Unified Language and became the youngest sorcerer to attain a Masters Degree. However this did not help him, since he did not just lose his memory, but lost his ability to recognize his memory and to know that it is true.
Since, he has been traveling around the world as a teacher, hoping to find his past within other people's memories. Around the age of twenty-five, he began teaching English at the Reien Girl's Academy.[1]
Appearance
Edit
Kurogiri is a light weight, black haired man who wears glasses. He greatly resembles Mikiya Kokutou, but it is not his facial features that bring about the connection. The aura he projects is similar to that of Kokuto, and the similarity is great enough to perplex even Shiki Ryougi and Azaka Kokutou.[1]
Personality
Edit
Kurogiri is a man who leaves a strong impression on others, while still being very forgettable at the same time. He is a magus uncertain of tomorrow, the future, but hopefully clings to yesterday, the past.[1] He pursues eternity and wants to see the world where everyone does as they wish. He believes that true eternity is one where the observer does not change and the object that is observed does not change either. He returns people's lost memory and just lets people do what they wish.
According to Shiki, he is running away from his responsibilities. He has the intelligence of knowing what is good and evil, but he does not do anything to differentiate the two concepts. She also believes people forget things for a reason. While he is similar to Mikiya, as their names can both be read as "Black Kiri", Mikiya cares for other people, while Satsuki is a hollow person without a past. While Ouji Misaya treats him like a brother, it is unclear if they are siblings.[1]
Role
Edit
Kara no Kyoukai
Edit
Satsuki mentioned he was contacted by Araya Soren to help awaken Shiki's forgotten memories.
Chapter 6: Oblivion Recorder
Edit
After leaving Shiki, Satsuki was murdered by his student.
Abilities
Edit
Said to be the only mage in the world to be able to speak the ancient "Unified Language". As expected from his unusual talent, the Mage's Association branded him for a Sealing Designation. He is not proficient in combat, but excels in persuading his opponents. While he possesses a very rare talent, yet precisely due to that same talent, he was unable to demonstrate his powers.[1]
Babel comes from the famous Babylonian tale. Humans created the Tower of Babel to reach the heavens, but God grew angry and destroyed the tower, along with the language. This language was the Unified Language that is able to communicate any kind of concept. It was destroyed so humans wouldn't be able to combine their power and cannot do anything defiant again. "May Day" comes from Satsuki's name: "皐月" is the month of May in the old Japanese calendar. Not only can he speak with any person in the world, but he is able to read people's past by accessing another plane of the world, where the Unified Language works at. He's also a powerful hypnotist because the meaning of his words go directly to the body of the person. His Origin is Nostalgia (望郷, ?).[2]
