Mustang

Gender: Male
Affiliations: Big Three, Tetra Line
Occupation: CEO of Tetra Line
Relatives: Mustang (Original) (Father, deceased)

Mustang (born Hanson) is the CEO of Tetra Line.

As Tetra Line is first and foremost in charge of the Ark's entertainment industry, it should come as no surprise that the man in charge is a showman himself, always entering and leaving every conversation with a boisterous "Eeenntertainment!". Despite his flamboyant attire and gratuitous mixing of multiple languages in his sentences, it should be kept in mind that he is still the ruler of one of the Big Three, the only companies allowed to create Nikkes. He's also probably the most personable of the Big Three CEOs, given Ingrid is a military-minded woman who can be a "cold drill sergeant" while still well-meaning to her Nikkes and Syuen is a spoiled brat who abuses others and powers as CEO.

Interestingly enough, according to Sakura of Underworld Queen, while the CEO positions of Elysion and Missilis have regularly changed hands, Mustang was CEO of Tetra Line since the founding of the Big Three, and has held onto that crown ever since.

Behind the closed curtain, Mustang's real identity is Director Hanson, a board member of Tetra Line and the son of the real Mustang. Hanson was one of the key people responsible in sending Pretty to superstardom as her manager. Often one of the subjects to his father's constant physical abuse whenever Tetra Line is under hot fire. He works with a fellow colleague Mrs. Miss, who is the music producer for Pretty. Following Pretty's assassination at the Arkrian Hall, Hanson would later become Anis' manager and ultimately succeed the original Mustang by taking his identity and position.
Compared to Ingrid and Syuen, Mustang is more friendlier among the Big Three's CEOs, as he helps the protagonist by handing him the pass necessary to bypass the security, as a "debt" after hearing the Counters squad's reputation in the Ark. Mustang speaks in a rather flamboyant manner, adding French dialect to his sentences, adhering the principles of "Entertainment" as the CEO of Tetra Line. He also likes to dance, often accompanied by a disco ball. Mustang holds a strong trust in his company's Nikkes and genuinely cares for all of them, including even those from rival companies such as Julia, whose musical talents are undervalued by Syuen and dismissed as mere cannon fodder. However much like any other superiors, he does not tolerate any incompetence that could lead Tetra's Nikkes to perilous situations. He also does not take any form of dishonesty either as shown with a fraudster during a contest in Coin Rush.

In his prior life, Mustang, as Hanson, is typically a man driven by stoicism, not swayed by boss' (or more accurately, his father's) abusiveness even when directed at him, whether physical or verbal. Hanson shows to be compliant whenever Mustang orders him to fire someone at Tetra over small things. Although throughout the course of his time at Tetra, Hanson began questioning his father's motives especially when he revealed to Pretty her adopted father's role in the Operation Ark Guardian to destroy their relationship out of his amusement. Hanson is generally buried by various workload often but is a hardworking man not swayed by greed, and yearns to earn anything from a scratch.

As a manager of pop stars, Hanson genuinely looks after the talents under his toll, going as far as putting his life on jeopardy just to keep them safe such as when Pretty's concert was attacked by Nikkephobic gunmen for the first time. After he moved to manage T.T. Star, Hanson shows his more caring side towards the girls; he is willing to fight his own former boss and father just to protect them, following Mustang's callous plan to bury them under the mud.
