Characters

Victo Putin (ヴィクト・プーチン Vikuto Pūchin?)
Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama[3] (Japanese), Jerry Jewell[4] (English)
Victo is a 39 year old man who looks a lot younger as after the supposed death of his wife he made a deal with a Horologue, losing part of his time. That is why he now seeks to recover his lost time. At first he did not believe that Mina is his wife but then begins to suspect that she could in fact be his wife. As Chronos Ruler he is able to control the cards at will, he is also in a UNIQUE position that allows him to use his powers without exhausting his time, due to the curse that the Horologue put on him when making the deal.
Kiri Putin (霧・プーチン Kiri Pūchin?)
Voiced by: Kaito Ishikawa[3] (Japanese), Chris Wehkamp[4] (English)
Kiri is the son of Victor Putin and Mina Putin, he helps his father to recover his lost time. Like his father he did not believe that Mina could be his mother because he remembered his mother like Nana not Mina, but then like Victor he begins to suspect that she could be his mother. As Chronos Ruler, he is able to control water and he is also able to use a sword as a personal weapon. Due to him being the son of Mina, since she is a descendant of Chronos, he will not grow old.

Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya[3] (Japanese), Jad Saxton[5] (English)

As a Chronos Ruler she is able to control the air. Due to being a direct descendant of Chronos her appearance does not change, even after having her time stolen, and why she looks like a young woman of 18 (although in the manga she looks younger) but then it is discovered that she may not have wasted her time after all.
