Sgt. Jeffery Rogers

Sgt. Jeffery Rogers was a discharged United States army sergeant who later joined the Oracle group. Like most of the other members of the Black Dragon team, Rogers was modelled after one of the "Six Comrades" from the Rurouni Kenshin series, Inui Banjin, as well as one of the seven deadly sins. His sin is greed, as he is compelled to find more and more victims to lord over and kill, regarding them as part of a collection.

Little is known of his life prior to joining Oracle. He joined the U.S. army and rose to the rank of sergeant, likely taking part in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq on Earth in the early 21st century. Prior to 2004, he was dishonroable discharged for his deplorable killing of innocents while at war, but escaped being tried for war crimes with the help of Oracle. In exchange for their help and the promise of further opportunities to kill outside the restrictions of law, Rogers joined Oracle and was assigned to the Black Dragon team.

Rogers accompanied the Angry Alter Ego to Tokyo, Japan in December of 2004. After the Black Dragon team encountered Adam Evans there, Rogers stayed in Tokyo with Friedrich Gien and Osami Hyogo to deal with him if he did not return to Magid. Days later, the Creator's group arrived and Rogers mistook the Creator for Adam, stalking him for two days and twice trying to assassinate him. Both times he was stopped by New Baggins, and after he was cornered in an alley, he was shot in the head by Gien to prevent the group's secrets from being revealed.
