Shepherd Sommers

Saint Sommers is a member of the God's Knights and a World Noble from the Shepherd Family. Saint Killingham is a tall, lanky man who has only been seen in his hybrid Zoan form, resembling a humanoid dragon. He features a single antler atop his head, wild long hair that obscures much of his serpentine neck, long whiskers, and flame-like eyebrows.

In line with the typical attire of the God's Knights, Killingham wears an elaborate military uniform, which includes a dark, high-collared trench coat that reaches down to his boots, long light gloves, a cravat, and a cape adorned with epaulets on his shoulders. He also sports a light armband emblazoned with the God's Knights emblem on his left arm. Like many World Nobles, he wears a resin bubble over his head, accompanied by a respirator-like device that covers his snout and jaws. Killingham is notably clumsy and struggles with punctuality, often succumbing to narcolepsy and falling asleep at inopportune moments, sometimes even speaking while asleep.

Shepherd Sommers
 

As a World Noble, he wields significant political authority, allowing him to act largely as he pleases, including summoning an Admiral if necessary. However, as a God's Knight, Killingham is also a skilled combatant capable of defending himself without relying on external assistance.

Killingham has seemingly consumed a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, enabling him to transform into a qilin-like creature characterized by an elongated neck and antlers. The full extent of this fruit's abilities, beyond the typical advantages of a Zoan, remains unclear. He appears to have "awakened" this ability while retaining his personality, as indicated by the ribbon of flaming smoke that surrounds his head and torso during his transformation. Killingham is knowledgeable about the properties of the Abyss and is likely capable of utilizing it, as he can be teleported through it and understands that only those with a "mark" can do so. He wields a peculiar trident with asymmetric blades, although he has yet to be seen using it in combat.

Due to the challenging nature of their mission, Shamrock decided that reinforcements were necessary and instructed Gunko to contact Mary Geoise to prepare someone. Upon reaching the appropriate location, Gunko created a Magic Circle, summoning Killingham and Shepherd Sommers to Elbaph. Upon their arrival, both were initially unaware they had been transported, leading Killingham to believe he was late for duty. They soon realized their mistake, and while Sommers prepared himself, Killingham informed Shamrock that he had been recalled to Mary Geoise due to a "dire" situation there. After being briefed on the mission to abduct the Giant children, Killingham reminded his allies that only those with the "mark" could pass through the magic circle, meaning they would need to extract the children manually. Given the unique circumstances, Shamrock proposed that they could turn the kidnapping of the children into a "game" using their powers.

Trivia

  • Killingham's name, Kiringamu, references his apparent Devil Fruit ability to transform into a qilin from Chinese mythology.
  • The qilin is a hybrid creature known for its dragon-like features, including its head, antlers, scales, flowing mane, and tail, combined with the body of a goat, ox, deer, or horse. It has historical associations with giraffes due to a live giraffe presented to a Chinese emperor in the early 1400s.
  • Killingham is currently the only "awakened" Zoan user affiliated with the World Government whose ribbon of flaming smoke is light-colored, in contrast to the darker hues seen with others.
