She is modeled after Francoise Arnoul/003 from Cyborg 009. Vanessa, along with Berta (009-4) and Mia (009-7), gets to do the most on missions with her leader. She acts as a reconnaissance cyborg, with specialized vision and hearing that allows her to see and hear from far distances. Her eyes also act as cameras. Her backstory was briefly detailed in the extra booklet that came with the sixth DVD release in Japan. Vanessa was a privileged to be in a wealthy upbringing, with great plans to become a pianist in her future. However, her happiness was cut short when her family was killed as a result of terrorism. She was then brought into the Zero Zero Organization, in circumstances that were similar to Mylene's.

Although Mia was a talented theatre actress, she found herself unlucky. She brought her theatrical talent to the Zero Zero Organization for a small mission, and proceeded to join them without full knowledge of the role that she would be getting herself into as an agent.

In the movie's universe, the world is locked in a Cold War-style standoff between the Western Block and the Eastern Block, with "J-Country" serving as the volatile border zone.

Egg

0

Egg is a hard-boiled professional sniper who works for the Eastern Bloc. He faces 009-1 in a duel of assassins on a remote island. Although highly skilled, Egg has an extremely rigid daily schedule and he never works at night. He does not kill those who are not his targets (even sparing the life of a wounded Western Bloc agent who tried to kill him) and always shoots his target in the head with a single bullet from his old sniper rifle. He is very proud of his cool professionalism as a hitman and considers killing out of emotion beneath him.

Dr. Green

0

Head of the Eastern Bloc's Supernatural Power Research Facility, and known in the East as the foremost researcher into supernatural powers. In the Western Bloc, mutants are objects of hatred and thus disposed of, but in the East, in-depth research is being conducted on them, from the viewpoint that the incredible power lying within mutants might be able to be converted to military use. Dr. Green calls the mutant boys and girls "experimental materials", but it is uncertain what he truly feels inside.

Odin

0

Odin is the code-name of a highly ranked Eastern Bloc agent. His real name is kept a secret, but it is revealed that he participated in the failed attempt to kidnap Dr. Satonaka three years earlier. He is a very aggressive person who always suspects a Western Bloc scheme behind every event.

Paul Hoffman/Loki

0

Loki is an Eastern Bloc agent who was invited to the haunted castle along with Odin and Freya in the anime adaptation. He is always calm, cool, and collected, and is never fazed, no matter what happens right in front of him. With his sharp mind and uncommonly good physical abilities, you could call him "the 009-1 of the Eastern Bloc". It is later revealed that he is 009-1's younger brother, Paul. While Mylene had been taken by Western Bloc soldiers, Paul was taken away by ones from the Eastern Bloc, growing up in a life paralleling his sister's as a spy.

Number Zero

0

Number Zero is a supporting character from the Japanese animated television series 009-1, which aired on the Tokyo Broadcasting System for thirteen episodes between October and December, 2006. The character first appeared in the 009-1 manga, which was serialized from 1967 to 1970. Number Zero was the leader of the Number Nine group, which operated in the interests of the Western Bloc during the extended Cold War and was often in conflict with their European rivals of the Eastern Bloc. Number Zero commanded several agents under his charge including Mylene Hoffman (009-1), Vanessa Ibert (009-3), Mia Connery (009-7) and Berta Kastner (009-4). Number Zero assigned the Number Nine agents to rescue a Russian defector from the Eastern Bloc named Zond Soyuz. Soyuz had developed an energy source of great magnitude, one that would tip the scales heavily in favor of the Western Bloc. He was being held captive by a man named Ivan Godunov. Mylene and the others were unable to save Soyuz's life, but they succeeded in securing his invention and Godunov was killed.

Amia Riegl

0

Amia Riegl, known as 009-12, is a minor character in 009-1. She is part of the Nine Number Group, and exclusive to the anime adaptation. She is modeled after Cyborg 0012 from Cyborg 009, specifically the version of the character seen in the 2001 "Cyborg Soldier" adaptation. Her abilities were profiled in a booklet that came with the sixth Japanese DVD release. Within her description, she's described as the "biological computer" of the team and the smartest. From her brief holographic appearance, Amia appears as an incredibly pale-skinned woman with long, dark hair held back by a jeweled headband. Two front sections of her hair are tied off with white hair ties. She has no visible sclerae, and her eyes are a solid, sparkly black. In the present day, her avatar still seems to wear the blue Nine Number Group jumpsuit that is seen on the other cyborgs in the flashback sequence in the same episode. Through unknown circumstances, Amia Riegl became the very meeting room and intelligence system in the Zero Zero Organization, with her mind linked to the room and giving her the ability to project herself as a holographic secretary that existed within it. This would seem to prevent her from joining the rest of the team on their missions. While she exists as this hologram, her actual physical body remains frozen deep in a laboratory within the organization. She is noted as originating from somewhere in Northern Europe.

Vera Theremin

0

Vera Theremin, codenamed 009-11, is one of the twin operatives of the Nine Number Group in 009-1. She is the twin sister of Alyona Theremin (009-10), with the two being based on the twin cyborgs from Shōtarō Ishinomori's Cyborg 009. Both are associated with electrical abilities. Vera appears only briefly in the final episode of the 2006 anime and receives very little individual characterization. As a result, there is limited established information about her personality, background, or specific abilities beyond her connection to Alyona. She is identified by the designation 009-11, while her twin carries 009-10.

Alyona Theremin

0

Alyona Theremin, codenamed 009-10, is one of the twin operatives of the Nine Number Group in 009-1.

In the 2006 anime, they appear briefly without dialogue, including in the group's flashback and near the end of the series. Alyona is identified by the designation 009-10, while her twin carries the designation 009-11.

Mio Murashima

0

Mio Murashima, codenamed 009-9, is an operative of the Nine Number Group in 009-1. She serves the Western Bloc's Zero Zero Organization as one of the numbered agents assigned to covert intelligence work. Unlike several of her teammates, Mio receives very little individual development or dialogue in the 2006 anime, making her one of the more enigmatic members of the group. Her designation, 009-9, places her among the twelve female agents of the anime's Nine Number Group. The name "Mio Murashima" may be an intentional reference to Joe Shimamura, the central character of Shōtarō Ishinomori's Cyborg 009. Mio is therefore best characterized as a largely unexplored member of the organization rather than assigning her abilities or personality traits that are not established in the available material.
