Quasar

Quasar (real name: Keisuke Tanaka) is a fanatic member of The Fellowship. His devotion to and dependence on the sect are extremely strong and border on the delusional.

He is obsessed with cleaning himself (his "cleansing ritual", which is possibly dictated by The Fellowship's rules) and does so several times a day. He sometimes experiences visions of his spiritual leader speaking to him. His active involvement in a poison gas attack on a Tokyo subway train leads to him hiding in Okinawa after the incident. His deeds make him guilt-ridden, although he tries to push this feelings away. He is especially tormented by the memory of a small child on the subway car where he released the gas. When The Fellowship is raided by government officials and their spiritual leader is arrested, Quasar becomes increasingly desperate and cannot understand why his leader did not use his purported supernatural forces to escape custody.

In his childhood, Quasar often was the target of bullies. Even one of his teachers, Mr. Ikeda, used to ridicule him instead of protecting him from his school mates' practical jokes. He believes to have found his destiny in his cult, which is the reason for his frantic devotion. Upon joining The Fellowship, he has severed all ties with his "biological family", and his father has written him out of his will.

Before his life as a member of The Fellowship, he might have been a computer engineer, as he states this profession as a decoy towards the Receptionist as well as the Innkeeper. While on the run, he uses the names Mr. Kobayashi and Buntaro Tokunaga to conceal his identity.

At some point, he accidentally phones Satoru while trying to reach The Fellowship's secret service.
