Kiritaka Muse

Kiritaka Muse is a supporting character in Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World, particularly prominent in Arc 5 (adapted in Season 3 of the anime).

He is a wealthy merchant and the owner of the Muse Company, serving as a trade representative (and one of the Council of Ten) in the watergate city of Priestella. He is described as the last surviving member of Priestella's ruling council after certain events.

Appearance-wise, he has pale gold hair smoothed back, a tall and slender build, and dresses in refined, well-tailored clothing with minimal adornments.

Kiritaka acts as a sponsor and protector for the bard Liliana Masquerade, being a major fan of her performances. He hires bodyguards (the White Dragon's Scales mercenary group) and demonstrates leadership qualities despite his primary role as a businessman. He plays a supportive (though often passive) role during the major conflicts in Priestella.
