The Akatsuki Leader was first recognized when he single-handedly stopped a growing quarrel between Deidara and Sasori with just a verbal command. It is unknown whether the Akatsuki Leader has a partner, but it is likely that the only unnamed member of the Akatsuki is his partner. The Leader is among the most devious characters in the story: his face has finally been shown in chapter 363 of the manga.

Appearance
Pein wears the traditional Akatsuki cloak of black and red clouds. His hair appears to by spiky in a fashion similar to Naruto, but this is not completely proven either way. In the cover of one book of the manga, he is shown to have a sort of Auburn hair. It is also shown that he has some piercings around the nasal area. His eyes are in a strangely ring like fashion, as shown on his hologram when sealing the Shukaku. His skin color is believed to be a light tanned color.

Speculations

 * Before manga chaper 363 when the face of Pain has actually been fully shown, there was a theory highly popular in fandom that stated the Akatsuki Leader is the Fourth Hokage. This speculation has been recently resolved as incorrect.
 * It is highly probable that the Leader is the most lethal of the Akatsuki. Blue states he never lost a battle, but he has never been seen in combat yet.
