| Ryodan Member : Kuroro |

Kuroro Lucifer

When in York Shin City, he uses his calm presence and communication abilities to assume another personality in order to gain Neon Nostrade's trust.

The only people Kuroro does care about are his fellow Genei Ryodan. When Kuroro reads Neon's prophecy which contained Uvogin's death, he cries for them. Later on he performs a massacre in memory of his comrade. Besides that, he shows no fear of his own death, even anticipating it. Another Hunter, Senritsu (Melody), states that, when she listened to his heartbeat, he sounded as if he was living with death, and apparently appears sadistically happy with it. To Kuroro, the Genei Ryodan are more important than his own life. He stresses that the importance of a leader only extends to following his commands, but the group should always be placed first, before the leader's life.

By the end of the Genei Ryodan Story Arc, Kuroro's heart is bound by Kurapika's Chain of Judgement (materialized chain with blade at the end). This will pierce through Kuroro's heart and kill him immediately under either of the following conditions:

• He tries to use his Nen
• He talks to a fellow Genei Ryodan gang member.

Talents and Nen Ability
Kuroro is a quick thinker and very able-bodied. His ability to fight off the two most powerful members of the Zaoldyeck family of assassins at once is proof of his enormous fighting skill and strength. Zeno does hold that he could defeat Kuroro in a one-versus-one fight, but remarks "Although, if you really wanted to kill me, that'd be another thing."

Kuroro's Nen Ability, called "Skill Hunter: Bandit's Secret", allows him to steal the Nen Abilities of other people to use them as his own. The theft victim, of course, no longer has access to his ability. The theft happens under strict conditions:

• The user must witness the nen ability in action
• He must enquire about the ability and know how it works
• His victim's hand must touch the book's cover
• All of the above must be done within an hour

Known Nen Abilities in the Book
Teleportation

The ability to teleport a person back and forth from one place to another, without that person's consent. He uses it on Nobunaga when he is about to attack Hisoka, as quarrels inside the Troupe are supposed to be either solved verbally or, if no solution can be found, by coin flipping.

The Indoor Fish

A materialization of a fish that can only survive in a completely sealed room. The fish looks like a skeleton and feeds on human flesh. While the person is being fed on, they neither feel pain or lose blood, and will stay conscious despite being mortally wounded. Once the fish disappears, the usual effects of the wounds manifest, often killing the victim.

Fun Fun Cloth

An ability owned by the Owl, a member of the Injyuu (Shadow Beasts). This cloth is materialized, and can increase and decrease in size according to the user's will. Whatever is covered in the cloth decreases in size until it fits in the palm of a hand. The user can make it go back to its original size by letting it out of the bag. People can also be shrunk this way, without being injured.
Kuroro obtains this ability while the Ryodan torture the Owl after they captured him to find out how he hid the auction pieces they intended to steal.

Lovely Ghost Writer

An ability stolen from Neon Nostrade. It creates accurate predictions of future events. The user cannot predict their own future. The ability requires:

• A Person's Full Name
• Their Date of Birth
• Their Blood Type

The target person writes the required information on a piece of paper, then hands it to the abilities user, who then calls the "Lovely Ghost Writer", a sort of green monster that attaches to the users arm and moves his pen. The user does not know what he writes, being in a trance-like state.
The prophecies take up a specific pattern. They are made up of 4 to 5 paragraphs of 4 lines each corresponding to the weeks or months to come. The first paragraph is always about something that has already happened.
Neon refuses to read her own predictions, feeling it would spoil her ability, but Kuroro has his predictions read out by the addressees. So this seems not to be an ability restriction, but rather a matter of personal style.
