Biodata

Organization and Command

• Declared objective: Exterminate every ghoul in Tokyo 43.
• Ward-based administration: Headquarters assigns investigators to local branches and jurisdictions; Huiqi and Kureo Mado are placed in charge of the Ward 20 branch 17 50.
• Intelligence authority: If a branch has a Special Class Investigator, all ghoul intelligence must be reported to that investigator for a final decision 22.
• Operational coordination: Large battles use command rooms, sector designations, radio headsets, and computerized position tracking 30 33.
• Internal reporting: Headquarters updates ghoul deaths and investigator progress in real time. Support personnel prepare operation reports and merit records used for promotions 15.
• Public communication: The CCG broadcasts safety warnings and announces increased patrols and investigations during major operations 33 46.

Investigator Ranks

The listed hierarchy runs from Rank 3 → Rank 2 → Rank 1 → Senior → Associate Special → Special Class 1.

• Every investigator receives an epithet upon reaching Special Class: Huiqi becomes the Executioner, Arima the White Reaper, and Shinohara the Indomitable 17.
• Seidou Takizawa describes three unofficial tiers within Special Class, placing Arima and Huiqi at the pinnacle; the individual tiers are not named 19.

Equipment and Research

Quinques

Quinques are made from ghoul kagune, with their strength dependent on the source ghoul 10.

• Forms: Documented designs include daggers, long blades, whips, rods, spears, guns, and armor 16 18 31 39.
• Combination weapons: Jin Toka creates Assassin 01 with assassination-dagger, combat-longsword, and support-armor forms 16.
• Armor development: The Research Department holds a captured koukaku kakuja in a tank and develops its kagune into a suit of armor 15.
• Optimization: Jin Toka upgrades Amber’s Wail to an SSS-rate Quinque; Huiqi uses it with RC suppressant against Eto’s kakuja 27.
• Weapon collections: Special Class Investigators have collection rooms in a reserved headquarters section; other investigators’ rooms are located farther outside 38.
• Practical limits: Laboratory data shows ranged Quinques outnumber melee weapons. Jin Toka warns that ordinary long-sword users frequently suffer injuries or die 39.

Logistics and Identification

• Combat personnel wear white coats, while support staff wear black coats 33.
• Investigators commonly carry briefcases, prompting nicknames such as Box Carriers and White Doves 15 43.
• Support staff collect ghoul bodies, transport them for weapon development, disperse crowds, and retrieve investigators’ equipment 11 13 19.

Recruitment and Training

• Academy graduates can enter either frontline investigation or logistical work 18.
• Huiqi describes recruited children as commonly carrying grievances against ghouls because their families have suffered at ghoul hands 40.
• Shinohara brings an uneducated human child found during a ghoul-clearing operation to the academy for training 19.
• Academy lessons present Huiqi as second only to Arima, emphasizing his nearly perfect mission-completion rate and repeated repulsion of Aogiri Tree 18.
• Students are normally ineligible to receive Quinques. Regulations require an investigator to personally defeat a ghoul to claim ownership, but many new frontline recruits obtain their first weapon as a gift from a senior teammate 18.
• Receiving a Quinque before graduation is treated as recognition of a student’s potential 38.
• During the academy raid, students are shocked to witness ghoul cannibalism, saying it differs from what their teachers taught them 32.

History and Major Operations

First Operation Against Owl

Yoshitoki Washuu commands the first operation against Owl, redirecting all squads to Sector M2 when the One-Eyed Owl appears. Madoi Mado dies after sending Kureo away to care for Akira. Huiqi’s earlier account, explicitly based on scarce information and rumors, credits Arima with eventually repelling the Owl 1 30.

Ward 24 Expedition

Fifteen investigators assemble for an expedition into Ward 24. The announced assignment is to scout and lightly sweep the upper underground areas, record changes, and return for promotion to Rank 1. Privately, Washuu instructs Arima to find an origin and a child left behind, permitting him to use Huiqi and Kawashima as bait 2.

Arima takes his companions through a separate entrance. The expedition encounters ferocious ghouls, and Kawashima dies. Huiqi returns to the CCG hospital, receives a promotion to Rank 2, and is warned not to disclose what happened underground 4 7 8.

Conflict with Aogiri Tree

Aogiri Tree attacks CCG branches in Ward 11 and elsewhere to demonstrate its strength and attract recruits. The organization’s growth adds to the CCG’s existing burden of unresolved ghoul activity; Huiqi’s participation in related operations helps curb its momentum 17.

Internal Problems and Public Relations

Personnel Losses

• The Ward 10 battle leaves vacancies among the CCG’s core forces; academy students cannot immediately replace them because they have not yet graduated 43.
• Information about understaffing and Huiqi’s fatigue reaches Eto, encouraging consideration of an attack on Cochlea 42.
• Washuu leads five minutes of silence for the fallen investigators, while bereaved families gather outside headquarters 36.

Civilian Harm and Public Responses

A headquarters receptionist recounts that an investigator killed a man’s wife and child during an extermination operation. The CCG offered compensation under its usual practice, but the survivor refused and publicly denounced the organization. The account prompts Huiqi to question the conduct of CCG personnel 30 31.

• Reports of suspected ghouls trigger investigations regardless of the suspect’s identity or social standing 48.
• Students celebrate Huiqi’s killing of Fuyuko Yasui, while the reporting student expresses regret and Touka questions the possibility of human kindness 48.
• Investigative methods can be intrusive: Mado takes Amon grave-robbing in search of evidence, despite Amon’s objections 41 42.

Washuu Connections and Internal Dissent

• Arima secretly agrees with Eto Yoshimura to create the One-Eyed King and challenge the Washuu, using Huiqi as collateral 8.
• Information identifying Rize with the Washuu surname leads Huiqi to suspect a hidden connection between the Binge Eater and CCG leadership. He decides to investigate secretly rather than treat the connection as established fact 26.
