Biography
Not much is said in the 1998 anime about who they are or why Knives decided he needed to create them. There are twelve of them in total, counting Legato, and each one has a gimmick or theme. They are listed below in the order they appeared in the series.
Members

He is the first Gung-Ho Gun, and the de facto leader of the group. His motif is death, from the decorations on his jacket to his straw nihilism.
