Bug

is an Outer from the organisation Kara.

Background
At some point, Bug joined the secret society, Kara, and became a subordinate of the Inner Boro, which led him to also become a member of the Ōtsutsuki Cult. When Boro was instructed to dispose of Ada, he was affected by her powers of infatuation. Instead, he hid her inside his base, having Bug guard her. Her powers also automatically made Bug become infatuated with her.

Personality
While serving Boro, Bug was dutiful in following his leader's wishes. However, it might have been incited out of fear, as he questioned the validity of Code's suggestion on Boro's death, and showed no surprise at the mention of his and Jigen's deaths. Out of apprehension on Code's stern look, Bug agreed to lead him to the cyborgs, disregarding whether Boro is truly dead. Bug is also money-minded, expecting payment for showing Code the cyborgs. He did not like being ordered around, as while he obeyed Ada's order to serve them drinks, he insulted her within his mind. Despite being greedy in terms of payment, Bug is also cautious, finding Code and Ada's plans too radical. He grew increasingly fearful of Code's recruitments, and constantly tried to sneak away, preferably avoiding any further association with the new Kara.

Appearance
Bug is a short elderly man with several missing teeth and a long beard. He wears an aviator-like attire and a black mantle over his shoulders.

Code Arc
After Code stormed the base, he confronted Bug, noting that Jigen and Boro were dead. He demanded that Bug take him to Ada. He agreed, so long as he was paid. Before he could finish warning him about the woman, Code smashed the pod open. Upon awakening, she indifferently passed Code. As Code became affected by Ada's ability, Ada insisted she would happily talk after she freshened up. Bug explained the nature of Ada's imprisonment. When Bug tried to leave as Ada and Code struck up a partnership, Code stopped him.

As Bug desperately kept trying to convince Code and Ada to leave, Ada decided she might need more protection than just Code. She had Bug awaken her little brother Daemon. When other facility guards discovered them, Bug tried in vain to warn them against attacking. After Daemon settled down and began playing with Code, Bug tried to sneak away, only for Daemon to tackle and headbutt him. Code, hoping to learn more about Daemon's power, demonstrated how his Claw Mark worked, using Bug as target by pulling him through the marks.

Later, as Code's new alliance began breaking down between him and the siblings, Bug watched in fascination. While Ada insisted that she wanted Kawaki soon or she and her brother would turn on Code, the Inner revealed to have already made preparations to regain his full power.
