Alma Karma

Alma Karma, also known as the "first womb", is the person responsible for the birth of the Third Exorcists. Present day Alma is shown to be quite disfigured, presumably from his life or death fight with Yuu Kanda before the events of D.Gray-Man. He appears to be a young man with huge scars down the left side of his face and body. He has long hair, reaching his legs, and an inverted triangle over his stomach area. As a boy, Alma was the first of the Second Generation Exorcists to awaken with Yuu second. The two were forced numerous times to try and bond with Innocence, with each attempt tearing them to pieces. They would survive thanks to their regeneration abilities.

Alma greets all of the unawakened exorcists as part of a daily routine. Later when Alma hears that Yuu will put to sleep, he knocks out Yuu's attendants and carries Yuu away, not wanting to lose his only "friend" whom he'd just gained. However as they enter a sewer system, they are caught by Crow. Crow uses talismans to stop the two but before they can be fully activated, Alma kicks Yuu over the edge down into the canal telling him "if (he's) lucky (he) might get outside," before Crow knocks him out. When Yuu was recaptured, Alma tore out of his restraints and attempted to save Yuu, eventually falling down a shaft into a room where several corpse cocoons were kept.

When Crow caught up and attacked, he somehow grew a blade from his right arm and killed them, slicing open the cocoons in the process and revealing the bodies of other "Second Exorcists." After Road (who, with Allen, and was not part of the world of memory) explained the truth of the project, Alma was seen at the end of the chapter with tears (perhaps of anger) in his eyes. Alma killed the previous Asian Branch Sixth Institute after learning the truth of the Second Exorcist program. When Yuu saw the massacre, Alma stabbed him and asked him to join him in death, hoping to end their misery as "Second Exorcists" and have the Black Order learn their mistake of using them as tools.
