However, in his fury, Quon realized he had also slaughtered innocent people as well. He now aims to pave the way for a future of peace and acceptance. Unlike other Attractors seen, he has exhibited more than one power, including transforming into a fighting form designated by Custos as Insania. In that state, Quon has exceptional speed and strength, manipulations of water, metal (or mechanical objects) and, possibly nature itself, and self-regeneration. His younger brother Towa sealed himself away into the crystal known as the Tokitsu Namida and gave Quon immortality. Quon never knew this until in chapter 5, when he regained consciousness and found himself in the room Kannazuki was hiding. During the events of Chapter 6, Towa unsealed Quon's true form and powers so he could defeat Kamishiro, at the cost of Towa's life. Afterwards, Quon seems to have lost his immortality. His full name is Quon Miduchi (三鎚久遠).

In Chapter 6, he absorbed a portion of Towa's powers and tried to turn all the humans in the facility into Larvae. He was defeated by Quon when Towa overloaded Quon's powers, and lost all of his abilities due to overuse and Quon's pressure in the fight.

In chapter 5, she becomes confused after Shun speaks to her, which affects her ability to do her missions. In Chapter 6, she is forced to fight Shun via control device. She manages to free herself, and intervenes in the fight between Shun and Alpha and is mortally wounded, shutting down as she finally understands what Shun fought for, and died knowing humanity was more important than the ideal order Custos envisioned.
