Almata

Almata (アルマータ) is a mafia organisation operating in Calvard. They serve as the main antagonists of.

Background
Almata broke with the underworld rules set by Heiyue and rapidly expands its force by hiring jaeger dropouts and offenders of serious crimes. The CID and Bracer Guild have dispatched people to investigate, but many of these insiders disappeared without a trace.

In, in September of S. 1207, Bracer Guild member Elaine Auclair, while on the hunt for two missing children kidnapped by a low-level organized crime syndicate, was able to track down the syndicate. After defeating and subduing most of their members, the leader of Almata, Gerard Dantes, appeared. (Almata was only referred to by A in this scene and Dantes name was never given.) Dantes came to clean up after the syndicate which Almata had considered as a potential subcontractor, due to him being disappointed in them for being outwitted and found out by the CID. Capable of hiding his presence to prevent Elaine from seeing his face, Dantes executed all of the syndicate's members effortlessly, though he spared the kidnapped children and informed Elaine of where she would find them unharmed. He claimed to be pursuing the "ultimate fear", and called fear the driving force beyond existence, before escaping.

Trivia

 * Almata is a mistranslation of the Italian word Armata, which means "Army".
 * During the final chapter of Kuro no Kiseki, Melchior mentions that Almata was backed and funded by another party. The backer in question currently remains unknown.
 * Given that Ouroboros participates in the alliance against Almata, it's likely that said backer is a powerful group that knows about Ouroboros' plans and is trying to obstacle them.
 * There's a good chance said backer is Garden, considering Melchior, Arioch and Olympia being connected with it.
