Who is the rail tracer

The director of Daily Days has stated he needs to kill in such a violent manner in order to fully believe his victims are dead.

He proposes to Chane on their first meeting, asks her to carve her answer into the roof of the Flying Pussyfoot and promises to find her again. He later does so, in the OVA, and asks her to start out as friends, promising that he'll make her fall in love with him.

Top 15 Anime Assassins These anime assassins tend to be slightly more capable than your average real life assassin Every fan has their absolute favorite characters, which they just can't seem to let go of when the series ends.

Isaac and Miria make an immediate connection with the mysterious woman who, as we remember, was the one that accidently hit them with a car , who is confounded by the two. I have to make a bit of a correction.

In the show, these two storylines have been taking place concurrently. Now, I know who Claire is, so I really should have had this realization earlier, and this my bad. But yes, Claire Stanfield is coming, and this is where the first half of this series ends. Next time, we have an interlude episode. More of his word stuffs can be found on Twitter or Tumblr.

Warning: He'll talk your ear off about why Impulse is the greatest superhero ever. By Jacob Hill Nov 10, Television. Though he is a little put out by how challenging it will be to find her — and that she did not directly answer his question — he is keen to consider her message his first love letter and removes it from the roof as a souvenir. Either before he finds her message or after — at the very least, the moment the train passes over the bridge — Claire is moving along the side of the train when he spots Cookie the bear next to Jacuzzi's retrieval team by the river bank.

He has no idea why Cookie of all bears is by the river and is hit by a wave of nostalgia for his circus days; after briefly wondering if "coincidences like this" really does happen, he reaffirms that seeing Cookie is proof that the world truly belongs to him. Once Claire arrives at Pennsylvania Station around PM , he gives one of the station's staff a letter to the Gandors that instructs them to meet him in an alley near the building.

Claire wastes no time in getting down to business when they reunite, wanting to get to killing as soon as possible since he is in need of some 'real' exercise. That, and he has to go search for someone who might marry him. When Luck refers to Claire as 'Claire', he responds by saying that Claire is officially dead, as far as the records are concerned. Luck points out that legally dead people cannot get married, and a dismayed Claire immediately wonders how much it costs to buy a new name before suggesting that his brothers call him Vino or Rail Tracer for now.

Berga finds this unspeakably lame, and the two start brawling in the alleyway while Luck and Keith look on. The fight eventually comes to an end; impressed, Claire remarks that Berga must have gotten tougher considering that he emerged from the fight unscathed. He follows the brothers back to Coraggioso, where everyone else is absent except for Tick Jefferson, and once again asks who the brothers want dead. He warns them that he will have to psyche himself up if they want Don Bartolo Runorata murdered - since Bartolo once hired him for a few jobs - but adds that he can kill capo Gustavo Bagetta with no problems.

Luck requests that Claire not do anything , and clarifies that all he wants Claire to do for now is walk around town as a deterrent. On January 1, , Claire and Tick buy Tick a new set of scissors and return to Coraggioso's basement, where they spread the scissors out on the table between them. When Coraggioso waitress Edith enters the basement, Tick greets her from his chair while Claire takes one of the scissors and jabs its tips into the spaces between his five fingers, faster and faster, opening and closing the blades every time he strikes.

Tick admiringly calls such a feat 'cool' and expresses an interest in attempting it himself. Claire advises him not to, warning him that it is extremely painful if one accidentally cuts oneself. Convinced, Tick compromises by deciding to try it out on his next torture victim instead. Tick then calls to the Gandors in the next room and informs them of Edith's presence.

Edith confesses to the brothers that she has betrayed them, and Claire occupies himself by juggling five of Tick's scissors while the brothers huddle and try to figure out how they are supposed to punish a woman. Growing bored, Claire whispers something in Tick's ear that leads Tick to ask Luck if he can cut Edith's hair.

The brothers settled on this as suitable punishment, which only further solidifies Claire's belief that they are not suited for the mafia life after all. Tick cuts Edith's hair right then and there, while Claire in the meantime attempts to juggle twenty scissors at once. After the haircut, Edith confides to the brothers that she is looking for a hitman named Vino. Claire stops juggling the scissors and says, "You rang?

Edith explains that an information broker called Henry offered her a deal: he would sell her information on her missing boyfriend Roy Maddock if she could scrounge up info on Vino and his connection to the Flying Pussyfoot. Claire follows her to The Daily Days , where he promptly kidnaps Henry and takes him for a joyride aboard a night train.

Henry is forced to ask Claire his questions while Claire dangles him off the rear platform, just like Claire had done with Dune. Claire later seeks out one of the so-called Felix Walkens to negotiate to buy the name, which he eventually buys from a thirty-something-year-old woman. On the morning of January 2 , Claire dons extremely thick glasses, a fake mustache, and a fake beard.

Thus disguised, he heads to Gustavo's meeting place a Wall Street hotel and enters the pertinent room, where Gustavo and his subordinates are meeting along with the hitmen Maria Barcelito , Alkins , and Laz Smith. Claire announces that while he is flattered they went to the trouble of calling him believing him to be the legendary Felix , he already has a previous job that takes precedence he does not believe in double-booking.

Gustavo tries to appeal to him with the promise that he will have the opportunity to fight 'Vino', and when that fails decides to hire him to kidnap Roy and Eve Genoard instead. Claire agrees, and the two talk rates. Claire shows up at Keith's house, busts the door down to the room Roy and Eve are in, and asks if they are who he believes they are. Roy demands to know what Claire did to Kate, but Claire responds by punching Roy's solar plexus.

Roy passes out, and Eve runs to him in fright. Claire tells Eve that he is impressed she ran to him instead of away from , and, jabbing his revolver into Roy's back, assures her that he did not hurt Kate as she is currently out and about. He has Eve stand; hoisting Roy over his shoulder, he mutters that they have to hurry so he can deliver them to the Daily Days. Roy comes to during the trek, and Claire marches them both to the Daily Days' back door at gunpoint.

He finds Smith and a Runorata subordinate talking outside the entrance, and Smith remarks to Claire that hitmen like himself and Claire are guaranteed to have a 'few screws loose' in their love for their job.

Claire warns him that all his talk of sanity and craziness makes him sound 'incredibly lame', and forces Roy and Eve through the doorway. The three head up to a third-floor storeroom, where Luck, Berga, and Keith are in the middle of confronting Gustavo, Maria, and various Runorata subordinates.

Claire leads Roy and Eve inside the room, casually apologizing for interrupting. Gustavo thanks him, and proposes a new job for the famous handyman Felix Walken: that he ties up the Gandors so tight that they cannot move.

Claire replies that such a job would require a fee of 'thirty quadrillion dollars' before shooing Roy and Eve out of the room with the warning, "Hide, go hide. Claire raises his hand: "You rang? The Runoratas freeze and Claire takes off the glasses and fake bead; wincing, he introduces himself as Felix Walken aka Vino, or the Rail Tracer , and recounts his meeting with Old Felix. He interrupts himself to whip out a small pistol and fires it at Alkins, just as another gunshot goes off.

Alkins crumples to the floor, holding a smoking gun, and his bullet buries itself into the wall behind Claire. Grinning, Claire attempts to look cool by quoting the movie The Jazz Singer : "You ain't heard nothin' yet! Maria is the first to break the ensuing silence, excited at the thought of being able to kill both the legendary Vino and Felix Walken in one swoop.

Perplexed, Claire asks the Gandors whom he is supposed to kill anyway, to which Luck reminds him that he still wants the situation to be resolved peacefully - much to Claire's chagrin. Claire finally mentions that he thinks Roy and Eve were Kate's guests, so maybe Luck should try to keep them safe. Luck instantly heads for the door to find the two, immensely irritated that Claire failed to tell him sooner. Claire notices that Keith frowned at the mention of Kate's name, but before he can comment on it Gustavo bolts for the door on the opposite side of the room.

He tries to aim his gun at Gustavo's back, but Maria uses one of her katanas to knock the gun out of Claire's hand, giving Gustavo the chance to escape. Maria whistles at that, since she had been aiming for Claire's wrist. Claire asks her to knock it off, since he is not exactly keen on killing women.

Mad that he is making fun of her for her gender, Maria slashes her katana down at him - only for Claire to whip out one of the scissors he had nabbed off Tick earlier and use them to block the blade. As he catches the katana between the blades of Tick's scissors, he corrects Maria that he is not making fun of her because she is a woman; he is making fun of her because she is weak.

Maria draws her other katana and tries to stab Claire's abdomen with it, but Claire takes out another pair of Tick's scissors and uses it to block that katana too - still holding off the other one. As the two hold their own against each other, Smith off to the side takes out his guns and prepares to open fire on both of them - only for Berga to step in and pummel him before he can shoot Claire.

The duel continues, culminating in Claire pressing the tips of Tick's scissors against Maria's throat. His upper hand assured, he looks over to the Runorata subordinates and asks what they plan on doing now.

Several of them turn to Keith, click their heels together, and announce that they will be leaving. Keith nods, and they exit the room. Claire and Maria are visibly dumbfounded, and Berga explains that half of the men were moles who helped secure an agreement between the Gandors and Bartolo. Their exchange is interrupted when Claire leaps to the side, hurling the scissors in his right hand toward the opposite side of the room.

A gunshot rings out, and a bullet grazes Maria's hair and buries itself into the wall; at the same time, the scissors bury themselves into the shoulder of the out-cold Smith, whose body Alkins is using as a shield. Smoke curls upward from Alkins' gun. Claire drops Tick's other pair of scissors and engages in a gun battle with Alkins, dodging every bullet the other assassin shoots.

He exclaims that he had thought Alkins looked like the strongest of the three assassins back at the hotel, and Alkins mutters that he is relieved the rumors about Vino do not seem to be faked. Claire points out that Alkins' hirer Gustavo seems to be all washed up, and wonders why Alkins is still carrying out his job orders. Alkins says that he has a personal interest in "Vino's head," and adds that he cannot simply up and betray his client even if he is gone. Claire is mystified by this, considering that it only makes sense for someone 'weak' like the other assassins compared to him, who is 'strong' to give up or run, then outright laughs when Alkins brings up the 'pride of a hitman'.

Laughing and laughing, he argues that there is no pride in their profession - the second you kill somebody, you are scum to society. Nobody trusts a hitman. Keith presses the muzzle of his handgun to the back of Claire's head, cutting his rant short with an order to not scoff at how others live. Claire attempts to counter the point that Keith and his brother are different from the three assassins, but Keith denies this: he says that they are the same.

Claire finally turns around, meets Keith's gaze, and apologizes - he had forgotten that Keith is a "stickler for that dumb pride stuff" too.

Murder blazes to life in Keith's eyes, and he slips past Claire to kick Alkins to the floor before he can carry out another attack. About a week and a few days after the Flying Pussyfoot arrives in New York, Claire visits Alveare in search of Firo, only to learn that Firo is currently showing a couple of his friends Isaac and Miria around his casino. Feeling that it would be rude to join their outing, Claire exits into an alleyway and prepares to head home — and discovers Rachel and Czes conversing outside.

He greets the two with amicable ease, and wonders out loud since when they were so friendly with one another. As neither recognize him without all the bloodstains, they ask who he is; still smiling, Claire indirectly identifies himself as the Rail Tracer by assuring Czes and Rachel that he plans to let the two of them off for their misdemeanors on board the train. Rachel's old fear from the train wells up in her heart, while Czes screams and flees into the alleyway as a child possessed.

Now alone with the Young Conductor, Rachel looks him up and down and finds that he looks altogether pleasant and ordinary for a bloodlust-filled predator. With another smile, Claire suggests that the two of them take lunch at the Alveare — as it happens, he is in need of a lady's advice. The two of them enter the speakeasy to mild interest from the Martillos and patrons, who soon return to their own business. Once they claim a table and place their orders, Claire says that she should call him by his new name 'Felix Walken' rather than his old name 'Claire Stanfield'.

A little perplexed but not brave enough to ask him why, she instead simply gives her name as Rachel and asks him what advice she needed. Claire explains that he is in love with a certain woman — not Rachel, he insists — and asks how he should confess his love.

Despite his lack of sensitivity and Rachel's own lack of 'normalcy', Rachel decides to help him as carefully and cautiously as possible. Claire starts mulling over knives and military uniforms, but seriously takes into consideration Rachel's suggestion of 'everyday clothes' instead. He thanks Rachel for everything and calls on waitress Lia Lin-Shan to put their lunch on Firo's tab — giving his name as Felix Walken, rather than Claire Stanfield — and leaves the speakeasy. During the next several days, Claire acquires an elegant white dress with lots of inner straps for knives and sends the dress to the Genoard Family manor on Millionaires' Row.

Attached to the dress is a simple message: [From: the Rail Tracer]. When she exits the manor, followed at a distance by a few delinquents, she is wearing the dress he sent her. Claire eventually decides to go after the automobile and traces it to an abandoned factory, blending in with a large number of Jacuzzi's gang by the time they have blown a hole in the factory wall.

When all of the gang members individually respond that they came to the factory 'on their own', Claire does the same. Graham accepts this logic, much to the exasperation of his lieutenant Shaft , but Jacuzzi muses that one of the "me too's" sounded unfamiliar. Claire assures her that it is all right if she still wants to kill him, confesses that he does truly love her, and then asks for her hand in marriage.

The look in her eyes is enough to imply that she is frightened, and he promises her that he will not destroy her world but expand it, if she can only put her faith in him. Impatient over being thoroughly excluded from the conversation, Graham asks if they could kindly return to the topic at hand. Graham ignores Claire's opening to let him retreat and demands to know who he is, to which Claire responds that he is Felix Walken. Claire soon reveals that he is the one who 'dropped' Ladd from the Flying Pussyfoot , and Graham immediately attacks him.

The two's ensuing fight is relatively one-sided, with Claire effortlessly evading Graham's variety of tools and combat tactics. Even so, Claire compliments Graham on exceeding his expectations and even suggests that Graham is stronger than his idol Ladd. When Graham later demands that Claire apologize to the laws of physics and the power of a swung wrench, Claire credits his various fights against Cookie as what trained him to withstand such impacts.

It takes several minutes of fighting before Graham realizes that Claire has not actually executed a single counterattack against him, after which he concedes the fight and admits he cannot lay a finger on him. He announces that Claire is Ladd's enemy to fight, and offers Jacuzzi and his gang open access to the abandoned factory before taking his leave.

She looks away, but the light pink flush of her cheeks is all the answer he needs. In September , the delinquents send Jack to fetch Claire and ask for his help. Jack and Claire meet in a gloomy room, where Jack brings Claire up to speed on what has just happened to the gang: the delinquents were paid a visit by negotiators from the Gandors and the Martillo Family's chiamatore terrifying Ronny Schiatto , both factions confronting Jacuzzi's gang over them operating on Martillo turf without permission.

Jack says that the gang is hiding in the abandoned factory for now, and pleads with Claire to join them so that they can negotiate with Ronny on equal terms. When Jack informs him that the one responsible was also a woman, Claire pauses and then says that he firmly believes in gender equality. Claire embraces her from behind, and as she relaxes into his arms, assures that everything will be all right now that he has arrived.

Still hugging her, he turns the full weight of his gaze onto Dallas, who is instantly intimidated. Once his attention returns to Dallas, he warns Dallas that anyone who wants to use him as a pawn had better know what they are doing when they do.

He confirms that he overhead Dallas' speech to the gang, and lays out how he has interpreted the situation: Dallas is trying to use the gang as his pawns against the Larva group, the weirdos that Jack mentioned. Waving away everyone's surprise, he tells Dallas that he can go right ahead and use him and the gang, because he and the rest of them will use Dallas right back.

As Dallas breaks out into a cold sweat, Claire asks if he is hiding something else. Dallas is, though he is not sure to which specific secret Claire is referring. As the two women face-off, Tick spots Claire — also hidden in the shadows — and Claire, realizing that he has been found out, steps forward and asks if Tick is the Gandor negotiator.

Tick says that he is happy to see Claire, as it has been a while since they last met, and Claire asks why the 'amigo-woman' is with him and why the Gandors would send their torture specialist to negotiate versus someone else. Tick explains that the Martillos have already seized control of the main talks, but the Gandors had to send someone — and so they sent Tick because he was free at the time. When Maria shivers, he remarks on the 'overreaction' and asks if perhaps she lost to someone recently.

Her reaction is as good of an admission as any, and he assures her that He soon turns his attention to Eve, whom he remembers as a friend of Kate and Luck; however, Eve does not remember him as he was in disguise at the time. He asks what she is doing here, at which Fang hastily exclaims that she is the one loaning the gang the use of her house. Claire, admitting to being genuinely surprised for once, exclaims that he had not expected Dallas' little sister to be such a genial young lady.

At Dallas' name, Eve anxiously asks if he knows her brother. Her desperation is palpable, so Claire truthfully replies that Dallas is going to carry out an infiltration job with Jacuzzi's people.

Right then, Jack returns to the factory and reports to Claire that everything is going to plan on the gang's end and that it looks like they will be attacking Nebula 's Mist Wall with Dallas the following day. Claires hedges that they are likely just asleep via sleeping gas rather than dead, but Fang is cautious enough to suggest to Eve that the two of them wait outside. Claire supports Fang's suggestion, and reassures Eve that he will at minimum guarantee Dallas' life.

Moments before the lock is due to open, Ennis arrives, violently kicks the adjacent door off its hinges, and races inside. Meanwhile, Graham plans to claim the Jacuzzi's bounty and attempts to kidnap Eve. However, he mistakes Chane for Eve and abducts her instead.

When Jacuzzi learns of this he goes to rescue her, only to find Chane and Graham fighting one another. Shortly after, Claire, who witnessed Chane's abduction, arrives to fight Graham. However, Claire ends up making a fool out of Graham. Once Graham learns Claire is the one who tricked Ladd into jumping off the train, he decides to leave, as Boss Ladd is the one who will kill him.

Claire proposes to Chane once again, telling her they can start off as friends, and asks her if she would eventually fall in love with him. Chane agrees to this arrangement. By the twenty-first century Claire has married Chane and now they have two great-grandchildren children, both of which are child actors, their names are Claudia and Charon Walken.

Claudia shares the same philosophy as her great-grandfather, like him she is a solipsist, believing from the moment she was born the the world was hers, and if she wants something to happen she will find a way to make it so.

Charon is more like his great-grandmother as he has a very silent personality and rarely speaks, he also closely resembles Huey Laforet when he was a child. Charon also possesses amazing reflexes like his great-grandfather. Claire has also left a psychological scar on the not-so-young Czeslaw Meyer who avoids his relations because of this phobia.

Even pushing Ninty Claire retains his daredevil and thrill-seeker ways and during he is scuba diving for treasure. The name "Vino" is well feared in the criminal underworld as seen when Gustavo became terrified at the prospect of having to face him, hiring freelance assassins left and right just to kill him.

Defeating him is the dream of many powerful and proclaimed assassins. He is said to be the equal to Ronnie Schiatto, the demon who granted the alchemists immortality in the 's. Later on, he manages to severely cripple the "Vampire" Class homonculus Christopher Shouldered. Even the Immortal Czeslaw Meyer has become terrified of him, his fear of him lasts well into the storyline, proving that Claire has the ability to bring even the immortals down a few scales on their power-meter.
