Puppet Master is a famous scientist known as the creator of the Neans, a group of powerful artificial beings. As Jean Yunghart’s father and the one who “gave birth” to Rouge Redstar, his actions shape the story’s events from behind the scenes. Thought to have been killed by Jaron Fate, it is later revealed that a copy of his mind—created by the Neans—killed the original Puppet Master. His true intentions and feelings remain a mystery even to those closest to him. While he claims his manipulations are acts of “love,” his cold and calculating nature leaves those around him questioning what kind of person he really was.
There is no detailed description of Puppet Master’s appearance in the text.
Puppet Master is logical, cold, and highly intelligent.
Even with close relationships, like with Jean Yunghart and Rouge Redstar, he shows little warmth or emotion.
Instead, he often treats those around him like test subjects, valuing research over personal bonds.
Puppet Master is a world-renowned scientist.
He used technology given by alien Visitors to create the nine original Neans known as the Immortal Nine.
While he is Jean Yunghart’s adoptive father, the one who actually created Rouge Redstar is Eva Cristella, who is also Jean’s biological mother. After her death, Puppet Master raised Jean as his own.
He was killed on a spaceship during its journey.
As a top scientist, Puppet Master had deep knowledge about Neans and advanced alien technology.
He could also copy and install personalities, allowing him to create digital copies of himself and others.
- Jean Yunghart: Adoptive son, raised after the death of Jean’s real mother, Eva Cristella.
- Rouge Redstar: Created as part of his experiments; he shows little affection but closely observes her emotions.
- Cyan Bluestar: Puppet Master attempted to install his own personality inside Cyan to control him.
- Eva Cristella: Co-developer of the Neans and Jean’s biological mother.
The Truth Behind His “Death”
At first, people believe Jaron Fate killed Puppet Master.
However, it is later found that the Neans made a digital copy of Puppet Master’s mind, and this copy killed the original.
From then on, only the copy is active.
Manipulating the Immortal Nine
Puppet Master gives false memories to the Immortal Nine.
He observes their lives from the shadows, acting like a puppeteer to test if Neans can become greater than humans.
Discovery of the Memory Library
In episode 8, a huge memory database called the “Memory Library” is found under Puppet Master’s mansion.
Recordings show him referring to Rouge as a “test subject” and only watching her emotions from a distance, without showing kindness.
Rouge feels shocked by his cold behavior, but Jean tries to explain that nobody really knows what was in Puppet Master’s heart.
Red Clue and Investigation
Right after his death, a red figure and electromagnetic signals are seen at the crime scene.
Ash Stahl comes to Mars to investigate, following the same kind of signals he saw on Earth.
News reports soon reveal more attacks by the red figure, confirming Ash’s suspicions.
Puppet Master’s End
Puppet Master tries to install his own personality in Cyan Bluestar to control him.
He claims his actions are acts of “love,” but Cyan rejects this.
Rouge Redstar finally defeats Puppet Master, causing his personality to disappear for good.
Ash Uncovers the Truth
By the end of the story, Ash Stahl accidentally sees the face of the puppeteer behind everything, revealing that the true mastermind was Puppet Master himself.
- Jaron Fate admits to killing Puppet Master in episode 6, but his motive for disguising himself as Metallic Rouge is unclear.
- The timeline has a strange point—Jaron recognizes Metallic Rouge before Rouge actually appears, which creates a bit of a puzzle for fans.
