Ferrero
Ferrero is an older Generasian investigator who questions Alex Roth about the demon-summoner attack connected to the Games. Working beside Gustavo, he supplies the approachable half of a contrasting interrogation style, quietly recording answers and using timing, assumptions, and silence to test Alex's account. (Chapters 205–206)
Biography
Investigating the demon-summoner attack
Ferrero and Gustavo isolate Alex in a bare white room and press him to reconstruct the attack's timeline. Ferrero's friendly face and quieter tone do not make the questioning casual: he takes notes, returns to details, and lets his partner's aggression create pressure while they test whether Alex's explanations remain consistent. Alex avoids exposing the Mark, but the techniques stay with him and later influence how he questions other people; later mentions recall the investigators without showing Ferrero on a new case. (Chapters 205–206, 223, 283, 377, 575, 683–685)
Appearance and personality
Ferrero is older and balding, with grey hair, a pencil moustache, and a friendly-looking face. His manner is restrained and apparently reassuring beside Gustavo's physical intensity, but that contrast is professional rather than evidence of softness. He watches, writes, and uses controlled questions to make the subject fill uncomfortable silence. (Chapters 205–206)
Magic, abilities, and skills
Ferrero demonstrates investigative interviewing, note-taking, timeline reconstruction, and coordinated psychological pressure. His method depends on close listening and on the contrast between his own calm manner and Gustavo's aggression. No magical spell, supernatural detection technique, or combat ability is shown, and the investigation does not establish whether he holds any formal magical training outside the demonstrated work.
