Es

Es, (エス, Esu) is one of the 2 prison guards in MILGRAM and the main protagonist of the series who represents the viewers. They're 15 and their gender is currently unknown.

They're voiced by Yurina Amami (天海 由梨奈).

Background
The protagonist of the series, Es woke up in the prison one day realizing they lost their memories. Before they knew it, they became the prison guard of MILGRAM, tasked with taking care of the prisoners and learning more about them. They aren't too worried about their past, and helps out Jackalope in the prison. They try to work out the prisoners' crimes, motives, and personalities.

They have a fragile and ethereal appearance, though their gender is unknown.

One of the few hints about Es's gender could be the fact that they refer to themselves with "僕 (ぼく)" (boku) which is a masculine use of the pronoun "I" or "me" in Japanese, though this could be used without a reference to gender as well.

Personality
Es is a no-nonsense character with an unshakeable commitment to their role as Milgram's prison guard. They attempt to interact with the different prisoners humanely, and allow prisoners much more freedom and luxury than a typical prison would allow. Es usually has a somewhat deadpan and apathetic demeanor, but they have a short temper and sometimes lash out at uncooperative prisoners during interrogations.

Es demands that all prisoners treat them as an authority figure, despite their age and cute appearance. When patronized or treated as a child (see Shidou's drama CD "Molech"), they become infuriated. However, they do occasionally resort to immature insults and taunts when their patience runs thin (see Haruka's drama CD "Metamorphasis of the weak"). They usually preface interrogations with the reassurance that they do not plan on using violence, but this is often untrue. In Shidou's first drama CD, Es asserts that they decide whether to use violence towards prisoners on a "case-by-case" basis.

Es becomes very distressed when asked about their background or their unquestioning loyalty to Milgram. It seems as if even Es themself does not understand why they are so unwavering in these beliefs, and thinking about it too much seems to cause them great existential fear. Given Es's connection to the Milgram audience, they sometimes accidentally use the pronoun "we" instead of "I" when referring to their judgment decisions. This is also something they refuse to elaborate on.
