Leonardo Watch (レオナルド・ウォッチ, Reonarudo Wotchi) is a kind and humble young photographer who came to Hellsalem's Lot to help his ailing sister. A mysterious entity gave him the "All Seeing Eyes of the Gods" (神々の義眼, Kamigami no Gigan), granting him a variety of powerful ocular powers, at the cost of his sister's sight. His eyes have their limits; when overused, they have a tendency to "shatter", causing his eyes to bleed. He tends to be bullied by Zapp and his lack of fighting skills usually puts him in danger, especially against those who covet his power.

Klaus Von Reinherz

Voiced by: Tarusuke Shingaki (vomic), [1] Rikiya Koyama (anime) [2] (Japanese); Phil Parsons [3] (English)

Klaus Von Reinherz (クラウス・V（フォン）・ラインヘルツ, Kurausu Fon Rainherutsu) is the leader of Libra. A large, very powerful man with a distinctive underbite, he is actually very well composed and gentlemanly and honest to a fault, with an unshakable will. Master of the Brain Grid Blood Battle Technique (ブレングリード流血闘術, Buren Gurīdo-ryū Kettō Jutsu), which he can use to create large cross-shaped weaponry and seal away enemies. Klaus is also very intelligent, being able to play a chess-like called Prosfair for a period of ninety-nine hours against a being that has studied the game for thousands of years.

His ultimate technique allows him to imprison the Blood Breeds, as they can not be killed due to their immortal nature, but to do so, he must learn the enemy's true name, thus requiring Leo using his powers to reveal it.

Zapp Renfro

Voiced by: Yoshimasa Hosoya (vomic), [1] Kazuya Nakai (anime) [2] (Japanese); Ian Sinclair [3] (English)

Zapp Renfro (ザップ・レンフロ, Zappu Renfuro) is a hot-blooded, womanizing Libra member and master of the Big Dipper Blood-Fighting Style (斗流血法, Hikitsuboshiryū Keppō)'s Kagutsuchi branch, which allows him to manipulate his blood into blades and explosions. He is very well trained, being able to keep up with beings much faster than what the human eye can normally follow. His juvenile actions often get him and the rest of Libra into trouble. He is Leonardo's partner and despite his usual attitude, he cares about him in some way. He is always trying to defeat Klaus in a battle but is always the one to lose.

Chain Sumeragi

She can move at high speeds (being able to keep up with Zapp's chain of explosions from one end of the real world to deep into the alter-world) and does a large portion of Libra's reconnaissance work. Her personality is sadistic, often causing physical harm to others or showing indifference to those in peril (mainly to Zapp for his womanizing tendencies). However, she is shown to be somewhat caring of her teammates at certain points in the series, mostly evidenced towards Leo. Her power is erasing her presence, which needs a link (a chain) to connect her to the world in order to counter the effect of her ability or she will cease to exist.

Being made out of various brains, and with the ability to bend space and time, Arlelelle's skill on Prosfair is insurmountably high. Because of this, he does favors to humans who win Prosfair endurance matches against him; losers give the "remainder of their lives" to him, their minds incorporated into Arlelelle's brains so as to continue playing the game against him until life's end.

He has physical characteristics similar to a mushroom, and releases memory-erasing spores when put through heavy stress. The power of the spores is evident: he does not remember his mother and neither does his mother remember him. Leonardo bought hamburgers for Neji, and the two became friends; however, after certain events happened in the series with people trying to sell Neji's spores as weapons, Neji releases spores that are too powerful, and thus he and Leonardo must restart their friendship, as they have forgotten each other.
