Zeno Zoldyck might be old, but that’s not stopping Zoldyck from being one of the most deadly assassins in Hunter and Hunter. His physical strength is way beyond his age. 

In addition, Zeno’s speed and ability to fight were enough to make him Chrollo Lucifer the head in the Phantom Troupe on the defense.

As a Transmuter alters the shape of his Nen aura and alters its form to create dragon-like structures. Although it’s primarily an offensive weapon, Zeno also uses this technique to move himself and others over vast distances.

Ging has a shy and stubborn personality, to the point that he only wants Gon to meet him alone and claims that it would be cowardly of Gon to bring a friend to meet him, causing one of his friends to wonder if he is afraid of crowds.

Judging by his actions at the New Hunter Chairman Election to ensure Netero’s will be carried out, he seems to respect the late Chairman considerably.

13. Shaiapouf

Shaiapouf posited himself as the calmest and rational of the three Royal Guards, often speaking about the importance of logic and reasoning, more than his emotions.

However, his intense devotion to the Chimera Ant King clouded his judgment. He held a preconceived absolute ideal to live up to, with no room for amendment.

Pouf also held the King to a similarly impossible ideal, manifesting in mad fanatical monologues and treacherous action when it appeared that his lord was being led astray.

Pitou was a cat Chimera Ant, and like a cat, loved to play with their opponents like a cat would with their prey.

8. Illumi Zoldyck

Illumi, for the most part, displays very little expression. In contrast to his expressionless demeanor, Illumi often speaks in a somewhat joyful and absent-minded tone.

He is generally a stony, ruthless person with an extremely cold way of thinking and reflects solely on his own interests.

There were clear discrepancies between his words and his thoughts during the 287th Hunter Exam.

5. Botobai Gigante

Botobai Gigante

Botobai is a collected man who is fiercely loyal to Netero. He rarely loses his temper, with the exception when Pariston proposed the idea of himself becoming the new Chairman without an election.
