Jerome
Deava's second-in-command and basically everything Fudou isn't. Jerome is arrogant, pessimistic, and quick to judge—the kind of guy who sizes people up instantly and rarely changes his mind. He's got a pretentious streak that shows in how he carries himself and speaks.
Where Fudou tends to be optimistic and willing to give people the benefit of the doubt, Jerome does the opposite. He's constantly skeptical of the commander's decisions and doesn't hesitate to make his disagreement known. Fans often note that their dynamic is one of the show's more tense relationships, with Jerome serving as a cynical counterweight to Fudou's idealism. It's not that he's disloyal—he's doing his job as second-in-command—but he clearly doesn't get why Fudou makes half the calls he does.
