Urie, Kuki

瓜江久生

He is a Rank 1 Ghoul Investigator, a Quinx, and the former Squad Leader of the Quinx Squad.
Urie often presents himself as a cool-headed individual, maintaining a monotonous facial expression for the most part. As a Ghoul Investigator, he appears highly dedicated and stern regarding his work, to the extent that he may seem to be ruthlessly slaughtering more ghouls than necessary, a habit for which he is frequently berated. Urie also tends to be quite hasty when investigating even the slightest details or signs of a suspect. He has a tendency to execute mission objectives independently, without waiting for his fellow teammates to arrive or even requesting their assistance. This stems from his ambition; he does not wish to share credit with others, as he merely aims to achieve higher ranks as a Ghoul Investigator. To achieve his personal goals, he is willing to go as far as manipulating his comrades or causing discord within the team. However, beneath his ambition and cool-headed demeanor lies an insatiable jealousy towards his superiors, particularly Sasaki. Urie believes that ghouls, under any circumstance, must cease to exist. He is a person who is always striving for power and, as a result, constantly looks for ways to one-up everyone around him, which is demonstrated by asking Professor Shiba to help augment his kagune's power, presumably to gain an edge over Sasaki.
Urie believes that as an investigator, he must never retreat and will fight on even if it means straining himself to the end. This belief stems from the fact that his father, a special class investigator in charge of the S3 squad, ordered his team members to retreat while he stayed to fight the One-Eyed Owl to the death. He also holds a grudge against Takeomi Kuroiwa and Iwao for not fighting by his father's side during the Owl battle; therefore, he thinks that they are inconsiderate of his loss. Thus, Urie refuses to forgive them.
