q is a member of the Five Elders, who are the heads of the World Government.

Appearance
is bald, and unlike his fellow elders has no facial hair. He wears a white karategi and sandals, and has round glasses on his face; he is the only elder to not wear a suit.

Personality
Like the other elders, cares about the balance in the world maintained by the Three Great Powers and wishes to maintain it. He exercises meticulousness in maintaining this balance, as he viewed even the loss of a single Shichibukai as important, and grew extremely concerned at the loss of three Shichibukai during the Battle of Marineford. This also includes preserving the image of the World Government by keeping the events of the Void Century a secret, and he and the other elders will immediately have anyone destroyed who is found to be studying it. However, he was the first person to recognize that the current balance may not be sustainable after everything that had happened since the Battle of Marineford, suggesting a "cleansing" was in order.

Like the other elders, he has little tolerance for people of lower rank challenging their authority, as shown during the elders' meeting with Marine Fleet Admiral Sakazuki.

Abilities and Powers
As a member of the Five Elders, is one of the few to have the "highest authority of the World Government", being above even the World Nobles. He has control over every facet of the World Government, including the police, the Marines, and Cipher Pol, and even the Fleet Admiral of the Marines is incapable of challenging his power. As a result, he has authority to declare a Buster Call, and he and the other elders can use their great degree of power to manipulate the media and withhold facts from the general public, including erasing entire segments of history, most notably the Void Century. The only known person who seems to outrank the World Nobles is Im.

's physical abilities are unknown, although the scar on his face indicates that he was in at least one confrontation at one point. The elders were also confident that they could meet with Shanks, an extremely powerful pirate and one of the Yonko, without having anyone to guard him.

Weapons
carries a katana, although he has not been seen using it in combat.

Ohara Incident
Twenty-two years ago, the Five Elders spoke via Den Den Mushi to Professor Clover, an archaeologist from Ohara who was revealed to have been studying the Poneglyphs. Clover revealed that he knew too much about the Void Century, causing the Five Elders to order the Cipher Pol unit on Ohara to eliminate him and for a Buster Call to destroy Ohara and its historians.

Jaya Arc
A Marine came to the Room of Authority to report that Shanks had made contact with Whitebeard, but stated that their first priority was finding someone to replace Crocodile in the Shichibukai.

Long Ring Long Land Arc
The Five Elders got a call that Marine Admiral Aokiji had gone off on his own.

Post-Enies Lobby Arc
The Five Elders received a report that Shanks had successfully met with Whitebeard himself, to their shock.

Post-War Arc
The Five Elders talked about the aftermath of the Battle of Marineford, and as he sat cleaning his sword, grew worried over the state of the Three Great Powers, wondering how they would fill the three vacant Shichibukai positions they had. With Luffy and Marshall D. Teach, also known as Blackbeard, on the rise, noted that those who bore the D. seemed to be on the rise and causing great trouble.

Dressrosa Arc
Fleet Admiral Sakazuki came to the Room of Authority to question the Five Elders about why they let Donquixote Doflamingo use the World Nobles' authority to misinform the entire world. The elders reminded Sakazuki of his place and reprimanded his insolence, when a Marine came in and revealed that Luffy and Trafalgar Law's alliance had taken down Doflamingo, and that their victory had been broadcast to the entire world, shocking the elders and Sakazuki.

Reverie Arc
As the Reverie was beginning, the Five Elders were approached by Shanks. Because of his position, they reluctantly allowed him to talk to them about a certain pirate. After meeting with Shanks, they headed toward the Empty Throne, and talked about how king Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta had requested to meet with them. then stated that with all the waves of disturbance in the world, the balance could not be maintained forever and a "great cleansing" might be needed. Upon reaching the Empty Throne, they knelt before its occupant Im as they requested that Im tell them the name of the "light" that needed to be extinguished from history.
