Haise Sasaki

Haise Sasaki  (佐々木 琲世, Sasaki Haise) is the protagonist of Tokyo Ghoul:re. He is a Rank 1 Ghoul Investigator, the mentor of the Quinx Squad and a member of Team Mado. Haise's duties are overseen by Akira Mado and Kishou Arima.

Appearance
Haise is a slim, pale-skinned young man with slightly messy, white hair adorned by black streaks which have grown out from the center. He has grey eyes and wields one kakugan in his left eye. Similar to the other Ghoul Investigators, Haise is seen well dressed in the standard suit and tie most of the time. When embarking on a mission, he wears a white trench coat over his uniform and occasionally carries a briefcase with him.

Personality
Haise is a self-contained, good-natured individual. As a Ghoul Investigator, he comes off as trustworthy, loyal and devoted. While he portrays a serious demeanor towards his work, Haise is also merciful to some extent, as he believes that an Investigator should not annihilate ghouls unnecessarily. Though he is hailed as the mentor of Quinx, he shows apportioned respect and great concern for his colleagues, pledging a protective streak over them. He also complies with the obligations assigned by his seniors without hesitation. Haise habitually reads books, and is very co-operative, as he’d prefer to work with his group than to single-handedly accomplish the CCG’s goals. Haise has a habit of using puns, shown by his conversation with Akira Mado in the Naan restaurant. He also tends to scratch the back of his head when he is thinking hard or feeling uncomfortable. Because of Haise’s gentle persona, this leads his subordinates to constantly go out of their way and take the advantage of disobeying him, rendering him incompetent in controlling their actions, and he in turn worries about their safety.

Torso Investigation
At the CCG main office in the 1st ward, Sasaki Haise is revealed to be the mentor of the Quinx Squad. He became distraught at the fact that his team mates went out to conduct an investigation without him. Haise and Mutsuki decided to consult Team Hirako, a group of higher-class investigators, only to face nothing but prejudice and inequity, as Sasaki was labeled incompetent and dishonorable for not being able to control his squad independently. Later on, Sasaki arrived at the scene of the investigation, ordering Urie to spare Akashi Kobayashi’s life; for he might have some sort of helpful information. He also scolds his members for trying to exterminate ghouls needlessly. However, Sasaki was forced to face criticism once again, being accused of following the “Torso” case blindly by not putting any sufficient efforts into his work.

Trivia

 * Sasaki has a RC level of 2753, which is the highest compared to the other members of Quinx Squad.
