Character Relationships

 * Aisha Gauche - His deceased wife. Like any husband would do, he is very protective about her and showed concern when she volunteered to inject herself and Soma with Aragami cells.
 * Dr. Paylor Sakaki - His old friend. After certain events in God Eater, he considered him to be a rival as he was determined to foil his plans and save Shio. But in the end, they stil very much respect each other.
 * Soma Schicksal - His only son. After the death of Aisha Gauche, the two distanced themselves away from each other, as evidenced by in-game and anime events. Although, Soma saw him in a new light when his father told him and the rest of the 1st Unit, along with Dr. Sakaki, to take the ark and escape.
 * Dr. Daigo Oguruma - His assistant in his secret "Ark Project". He just treated him as someone to be used for his plans.

Trivia

 * Sakaki occasionally refers to him as "Johan," perhaps as a nickname.
