The Schiff are an unstable balance between Chevaliers & Chiroptera. They are prototypes for the Corpse Corps, pseudo-Chevalier soldiers created by a group of scientists led by Boris, under the sponsorship of Amshel Goldsmith. The Schiff differ from the Chevalier and Chiroptera in certain ways. For instance, they cannot be in sunlight without being crystallized and consumed by a green flame. But just as Chevaliers and Chiroptera must feed on blood, the Schiff require the same to stop their “Thorn” attribute which crystallizes them if they go without drinking blood. At first they thought the blood of Saya would cure the “Thorn” attribute but they were made from Diva’s blood and so, like normal Chiroptera, crystallize when they come in contact with Saya’s blood. Lulu is the only schiff who survives through out the series, and continues to survive thanks to Julia’s research.

Moses
Japanese VA : Naoki Yanagi
English VA : Steve Blum

Karman
Japanese VA : Kenji Nojima

Character Description
Deceased Ep. 45. An aggressive individual who uses a yari (yari is a Japanese term for spear, more specifically, a straight-headed spear). Is constantly reprimanded by Moses for his aggressive demeanor and extreme dislike for humans.

Irene
Japanese VA : Megumi Toyoguchi
English VA : Olivia Hack

Character Description
Deceased Ep 29. Uses a wide, double-sided sword. Has the ability to locate Saya regardless of distance. Her unfamiliarity with the normal things along the streets of Paris are used for comical effects (such as being a killer, but shunning away from a friendly dog out of fear; taking great interest in everything around her like an innocent child). Decided to stop killing humans and drinking blood, leaving her weakened and is saved from thugs by Kai in Paris. From the anime, most of the background information about the Schiffs are made known via the conversation between Irene and Kai shortly after, and Kai offers to talk Saya into giving some of her blood to Irene, who was suffering from “Thorn” by then. It seems that Kai gave Irene much hope from the conversation they had, and Irene’s last words are that if she recovers, she wishes for another chance to stroll around in Paris with him again. Dies after Saya agreed to give her some of her blood. Her death is instrumental to Saya’s subsequent fall into depression and feeling lost and questioning her own path and purpose.
