In Code・Babylon, Blitz Talker was once a respected detective, working in a futuristic metropolis filled with cybernetic enhancements, corrupt corporations, and artificial beings that blurred the line between humanity and machine. He was the partner of the story’s main protagonist, but due to personal tragedies and betrayals, he left the force and became a bounty hunter and mercenary-for-hire.

As a veteran of countless gritty cases and deadly encounters, Blitz grew disillusioned with the justice system, believing that true justice no longer existed in a world controlled by powerful corporations and synthetic monsters. He began operating outside the law, taking jobs from both legal and illegal sources, so long as they aligned with his own personal code.

When the Catastrophe occurred, Blitz was transported into the real world, where he quickly realized that he was nothing more than a fictional character in a story crafted for entertainment. Unlike many of the other “Created” characters, Blitz does not experience an identity crisis his life had always been full of betrayals, deceptions, and harsh truths, making him more accepting of his new reality. However, upon learning that his beloved daughter, Erina, was written to die in his story, he is consumed with anger toward his creator, Shunma Suruga, and initially sides with Altair, believing that writers should not have the power to dictate life and death.

Blitz is a rugged, middle-aged man with short, messy gray hair and a rough beard, giving him the weathered look of a hardened detective. His face is often shadowed under his hat, adding to his mysterious and brooding aesthetic. His narrow, piercing eyes reflect both his extensive experience and the weight of his past.

He wears a long black trench coat, often seen emerging from the shadows like a noir detective straight out of a classic crime novel. His outfit is a mix of old-school detective attire and futuristic cyberpunk elements, complete with holsters for his specialized firearms and cybernetic enhancements.

Blitz Talker is cynical, jaded, and world-weary, fitting the archetype of a hard-boiled detective. He speaks in short, clipped sentences, often peppering his dialogue with tough-guy one-liners. His gruff exterior and detached demeanor make him seem cold and uncaring, but deep down, he possesses a strong sense of loyalty and a hidden moral code.

While he prefers to operate alone, Blitz is not completely devoid of emotions, particularly when it comes to his daughter, Erina. Her tragic fate in his story fuels his resentment toward his creator, making him one of the most conflicted “Created” characters. Unlike others who struggle with their fictional existence, Blitz simply accepts it as just another cruel twist in life, further reinforcing his hardened persona.

Despite his bitterness, Blitz is not without humor, though his humor is dry, dark, and heavily sarcastic. He enjoys playing the role of the mysterious figure emerging from the darkness, often making dramatic entrances just for the aesthetic appeal. His dramatic tendencies sometimes border on the self-indulgent, but they add to his grizzled detective charm.

• Joining Altair’s Side
  Initially, Blitz sides with Altair, believing that creators have too much power over their characters. His anger toward his own creator, Shunma Suruga, stems from the fact that she wrote his daughter, Erina, to die, leaving him powerless to change her fate. He sees Altair’s revolution as a means of rebelling against cruel authors, seeking a world where characters can defy their creators’ wills.

• Confrontation with His Creator, Shunma Suruga
  Blitz’s turning point comes when he finally meets Shunma Suruga, the writer who created him. Instead of fear or regret, Suruga greets him with a smirk and an unwavering attitude, stating that his suffering is part of what makes him compelling. This forces Blitz to reevaluate his perspective, realizing that even if she created his pain, she also created his strength. Suruga then offers him a way to reunite with his daughter, showing that, as a writer, she is willing to change his story, not out of fear, but because she acknowledges the complexity of her own creations. This revelation leads Blitz to abandon Altair, choosing instead to fight for his own future rather than cling to the past.

• Turning Against Altair and Fighting for His Own Path
  After realizing that Altair’s rebellion would only bring more destruction, Blitz turns against her, proving that he is not a pawn in anyone’s story—not his creator’s, and not Altair’s. He ultimately fights for himself and his daughter, showing that even fictional characters can carve their own destinies.
