Depart

Depart is a minor character introduced during the DRAGON Arc of Toaru Majutsu no Index. His true name is unknown.

Appearance
Depart's appearance is described to be looking like an university student.

Background
He is a middle man who offers a wide array of services to people such as vehicles, safehouses, money laundering, or even surgery to change ones looks.

DRAGON Arc
Accelerator visits Depart's apartment in School District 15 on a job. Depart describes the place as somewhere for hiding rather living in before asking what Accelerator is after, listing various things he could find while Accelerator remains silent. Looking around the room, Accelerator asks if, as this was one of his safehouses, it was a sample of what they were all like. Depart confirms this before starting to promote his other properties.

Spotting a beaten girl in the corner, Accelerator asks if she is also an example of his merchandise but Depart tells him that she is just a hobby of his. After Depart says how he was using her as a punching bag, mentioning that he'd be owed at least 7 million if she was broken, Accelerator takes an envelope with 10 million in it from the bag he was holding and puts it on Depart's table. Depart mistakenly assumes that it is for the girl, but Accelerator tells him that it isn't for buying the girl but him.

Immediately afterwards Accelerator throws the bag at Depart's face, breaking his nose and knocking him off his chair. Howling in pain, Depart pulls out a pistol from one of the table drawers and points it at Accelerator, whose hand is now on his choker. Accelerator reminds Depart about what he said earlier, about how a life was worth 7 million. Expressing his anger at the job and commenting on how 'that bastard' only gives him boring jobs like this, he then asks if there is no problem with slaughtering him now, which he proceeds to do.
