Echidna Parass

Echidna Paras is a major antagonist in the manga Black Cat and its anime adaptation. She is a member of the Apostles of the Star and one of Creed Diskenth's closest advisors. She is only introduced when the Apostles gather for their first terrorist action but it soon appeats that she is even closer to Creed than Shiki herself, as she is aware of his most confidential projects. While Shiki is the second-in-command of the Apostles of the Star, it appears that Doctor and Echidna are Creed's de facto right-hand-men and the closest thing to a friend for the demented anarchist. Indeed among all the Apostles, she is the one who speaks the most formally to him. Echidna seems to be in love with Creed, which explains why she follows him.
