Omokage

Omokage (オモカゲ, Omokage) was a member of the Phantom Troupe. Before being replaced by Hisoka, he was the #4 member.

Appearance


Omokage's appearance is fairly archaic Gothic. He has long flowing silver hair and turquoise eyes. He wears piercings in his lower lip, eyebrow and ears. Omokage clothing is reminiscent of the Kurta's in design, although not identical as it is much darker. He wears dark colored pants, a dark cape with white patterns over a long black top and black shoes. His spider tattoo is located on the palm of his right hand.

Personality
Even though he first wanted to make Retz a doll at the cost of her life, he still cares for her. He also has a superiority complex, as he calls other people "humans".

Omokage collects the eyes of people. After the death of Uvogin and Pakunoda, he dug up their graves and stole their eyes. This enraged the remaining Phantom Troupe members and they went after him.

Background


Omokage was once the #4 member of the Phantom Troupe, joining the group before the Kurta Clan massacre. Two years prior to the beginning of the series, he was replaced by Hisoka, who defeated a Soul Doll that had the appearance of Omokage. The only reason Omokage joined the Phantom Troupe was to make Soul Dolls out of the other Phantom Troupe members; once he completed his collection of Soul Dolls, he left the Phantom Troupe.

When he was younger, he worked as a doll maker, with Retz as his assistant.

Nen
Omokage is a Specialist.

Trivia

 * Omokage's name means "vestige" in Japanese, which could be in reference to his association with the Kurta clan massacre or simply his old-looking appearance.
 * Omokage has only appeared in the 2013 movie, Phantom Rouge.
 * Retz is the only Soul Doll to have disobeyed Omokage and later betrayed him.
 * Despite claiming himself as "doll maker of the gods", it was shown that his Soul Dolls do have some defects in them. Even though their Nen abilities were as powerful as the real person they were based on, their combat skills, physical strength and durability were inferior. This can be seen when Hisoka single-handedly "slain" Soul Dolls Machi, Feitan, Shalnark and Chrollo Lucilfer with little effort. Also, all the dolls have no eyes  of their own. Furthermore, the dolls were also able to develop feelings of their own, and would betray their creator if they disagree with him, given Retz's case.
 * Oddly, the dolls were capable of fulfilling normal human biological needs, such as eating, drinking and sleeping, in the case of Retz.
 * In some way, he resembles Illumi Zoldyck in personality - both of them care and love their younger sibling in a twisted and rather demented way. Furthermore, both are also unbalanced older brother.
