Aya, Yohji, Ken, and Omi are the four young men who comprise Weiss Kruez a.k.a. White Cross a.k.a. Knight Hunters, an assassin group who eliminates certain menaces to the society. Each member has his own trademark fighting style. Aya is adept at fighting with a katana, Yohji has mastered the art of strangulation via strings/wires, Ken is lethal with his metal claws (bugnuks), while Omi specializes in a wide array of projectiles. Under the command of a mysterious man known only as "Persia", the White Cross is dispatched to take care of drug rings, terrorist factions, and the like.

        In Weiss Kreuz Gluhen, the White Cross is dispatched Koua. Koua is an academy that brings Japanese's most talented people and students together. The mission is to train talented people to bear the world's future leadership. However, recently, the suicide rate in the academy is increasing and there is hardly any information being released to the public. Fujimiya Aya and Izumi Sena (new member of the White Cross) is sent to infiltrate this school carrying out criminal investigation while disguising himself as a teacher. In fact, actually, there is a connection between Koua academy and the global terrorist activities that are frequently occur. Therefore Persia assigns Hidaka Ken and Kudou Yohji as well into this mission to solve the truth and connection of the incident behind Koua academy. Later in the series, it was revealed that Tsukiyono Omi is actually Persia. Since there was no longer any reason to stay behind the curtain, Omi joins the group in this investigation, uniting the former White Cross (minus Sena).
