Ned is a member of the trio living in Aichi mountains. Along with Bell, he is a minion of Blue.
Personality
Meishōbu Retsuden databook calls Ned "the brains" of the trio. He is also the most bad-tempered and the most cruel of the three.
At first Ned appears to be calmer than the other two and seemingly wants to solve quarrels with talkiing rather than hurting the pups, as he is seen defending Mer. However, this is all act and manipulation, as he later wants to make Mer fight against bigger dogs and he was the one who attacked Kuro and killed him with Blue.
Ned is usually the one most eager to kill intruders. When he is captured himself, he claims all the fault on Blue and that he was just obeying orders. He runs away, whining after he lost his ear.
