Flora hwang
A Korean NPC that has migrated to the Western servers, Flora is used to working for independent bosses and goes in and out of jobs frequently.

She speaks boldly and doesn't hold herself responsible for the feelings of those she thinks little of. Her combat specialties are handling various weapons and close range combat.

Basil Lindell
_
Ivy's older twin brother, who she mistrusts the most. Despite being Ivy's twin, he appears to have a closer bond with their elder sister, Violet. Unlike his two sisters, Basil doesn't feel the need to hire employees or upgrade his boss status and prefers to live a whimsy lifestyle. Because of this, he has a strong resentment towards Warren and his desire to run a structured household. He enjoys watching conflict unfold and isn't afraid to instigate trouble himself. Likewise, he's quick to forgive other troublemakers. Although he adores firearms, he is incompatible with most violent weapons. His true design is for hand to hand combat.

Simon QueensA captain of the Hurricane Brigade and an authorized custom program that was once an incomplete research prototype NPC, Simon was activated by an administrator program, Ginn, who shared his data with him, making Simon one of the only admin-custom programs in the Galleria.

Simon's specialty is motion formula, allowing him to analyze speeds and movements as well as calculate them, landing him a place amongst the fastest modules in the Galleria. Unlike most combat NPCs, he cannot hold weapons and substitutes this offensive disadvantage with armor accessories. His default is a cycling suit.

Shasta NutsutoAn authorized custom program that was once a prototype NPC, Shasta's programming is fixated around improved camera functions, making him the only module in the Galleria with the ability to render his own images. His phenomenal memory storage can hold a massive amount of data, however, the constant process of creating and storing it takes a toll on his mood, causing him to withdraw from those around him and lash out at those who cross him. In hopes of easing him, Warren began extracting and archiving Shasta's memories, leaving him perpetually disoriented with the time line. Despite being ultimately Warren's puppet, Shasta is an artist who draws and paints.

Claire Jensen
A captain of Violet's Typhoon Brigade and a protective older sister, Claire shares Violet's perspective in many ways. She prefers Warren's leadership, however she finds his structured lifestyle to be overbearing. Many times, as a leader and subordinate, Claire makes promises she cannot keep, although her intentions are always good. She is better liked by her brigade over Violet herself. Claire's taken extra special care training her malware subordinates to be passive and obedient, and rewards them for their good behavior. She has special feelings for Shasta, although he doesn't appreciate her invading his space. Her specialty is fire arm weapons and is noted by others as being a rather weak Super Boss.

Ginn Evans

Years ago, Ginn hired Warren and trained him to be the structured and orderly Final Boss that he is today. Ginn's best work is done in the Firm's configuration hall, building and repairing NPCs. Long before, he found Simon's incomplete module in the Firm's storage and, instead of purging him, decided to save him. Ginn completed Simon by sharing with him his own data, making Ginn theoretically Simon's father. Like Simon, Warren also has a father-son bond with Ginn and not only seeks his advice, but confides in him. Despite his age and wisdom, Ginn tends to come off as a bit of a pushy know-it-all. He has no combat skills whatsoever.
