Human
Guren was naive in his childhood days and spent most of his time withMahiru. His outlook on life was simple while his life was only happy moments. But after he was treated with contempt, due to his family's name as a lowly branch member, he began to feel guilt. He thought that because of his weak physique and power, he couldn't reach out for what he wanted, which was hinted to be Mahiru. She motivated him to become stronger and wiser.
He later became a wise leader who values teamwork and cooperation, determined to ensure the survival of the human race from demons and vampires. WhenYutried to join the Moon Demon Company, Guren refused to allow him to join until he made friends.
Guren sometimes pretends to be lazy, but in truth, he really works hard. He keeps many secrets to himself, and has no difficulty lying about them. He also plans to dethrone theHīragi Family.This is shown to be explicitly desired by him upon being possessed by Mahiru-no-Yo. It is made clear when Guren is possessed, and his true desires come to light, that he, along with Shinya, wants to change the status quo and hierarchy.
In addition, he actually cares a lot about his subordinates and friends, considering them to be his family, both before and after the apocalypse.
Namanari
His kindness is the reason for why he hasn't been completely honest with his squad whenever they're around him, especially hiding from them his second personality, which Kureto knew of all along, and later Shinya became aware of. It was another reason for why Guren's original personality had yet to be fully taken over by his second, demonic personality, and continues to exist. Nevertheless, he has since kept his own emotions in check on a daily basis, carefully maintaining a positive image so not to worry them.
Guren's personality changes drastically when he's overtaken by his demon blade, Mahiru-no-Yo. According to Ferid, it happens more often than shown, and his demon side is capable of hiding his true nature from his close friends. Guren is described as being a Namanari, a human with two souls in his body, and is a single step away from closely becoming a complete demon. When Mahiru is in control of Guren's body, he becomes utterly ruthless in the pursuit of his goals and cuts down anyone who opposes him, even if it is one of his comrades, like Shihō or Yu. He doesn’t distinguish vampires or humans as friend or foe to him when possessed, but sees them all as only sacrificial pawns for the Seraph of the End experiment.
Kureto considers the demonic personality to be strong and the original human personality to be weak.

Guren was born into the Ichinose family and is a member of the Order of the Imperial Moon, a low branch of the Hīragi family and the Order of the Imperial Demons. He was also the best friend and lover of Mahiru Hīragi, but this was frowned upon by the higher-up members of the Hīragi family because of his family's lower social status. Guren was blamed for becoming too close to her because of their friendship. The consequences to him were many harsh beatings by adults and teenagers from the Hīragi family during his childhood. The bad treatment towards him and the Ichinose family motivated Guren to train harder and grow stronger while growing up, with a stronger sense of determination. It inspired him to volunteer as a subject of a Kiju experiment for the sake of his family, to obtain an advantage over the Hīragi family.
At the age of 16, he was befriended by Shinya Hīragi, Mito Jūjō, and Norito Goshi alongside his retainers, Sayuri Hanayori and Shigure Yukimi. From this moment forward, they would come together and form a successful new squad under Guren's leadership.
Mahiru was stated to have been the primary cause for Guren to actually turn into a Namanari, a part human and part demon, and is also a probable part of why he retains some form of humanity throughout his lifetime. This was shown when he initially became an demon. Because of Mahiru's direct action as a demon herself, which planted seeds of a sinister nature in him for the demon to cultivate, he shows a somewhat plastic sense of morality. It deeply affects his way of thinking and shows an influence on his actions, especially when around those he wishes dead. Guren choseto give up part of his humanity the moment when he made a contract with the powerful demon Noya. By accepting its power, it became Guren's first demon weapon from the Black Demon Series, prior to wielding Mahiru-no-Yo, another of that same ranking. According to Shinoa, Guren finally put an end to his possessed lover, Mahiru, by killing her, thus transforming her into a demon weapon, the same weapon he is seen to use in the sequel, set eight years later.
Guren appeared at the end ofchapter 1, using information from a prophecy to collect Yūichirō Hyakuya, a survivor of the Hyakuya orphanage. Along the way, he has also found two other survivors, Shihō Kimizuki and Yoichi Saotome. Later, it is revealed that these humans are actually the seraphs he secretly sought and collected after during the Thousand Night's downfall. In the manga, it is shown that Guren would look after Yūichirō occsionally, as a guardian and mental support, keeping a close watch over him before he made friends. Whenever Yūichirō had trouble sleeping because of a nightmare from his past, Guren would go and check up on him, making sure he was feeling alright. At the same time, he's offer Yūichirō advice on how to live from now on, giving him more meaningful reasons to live than just to exact revenge against the vampires for the death of his family. Since then, Guren is shown to have taken Yūichirō under his wing, raising him and training him to be a capable swordsman.
He is rumored to have been responsible for recapturing Shinjuku from the vampires with a single team at some point in history.
Guren has led Yūichirō to join the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, nearly from the moment he has escaped the city of vampires. Meanwhile, Guren seems to be secretly attempting to reform the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, which is governed by the Hīragi family and is having an internal power struggle, as is stated by Mitsuba. Beside Mahiru, he also furthered the development of the Cursed Gear weapons, bringing it to it's current state. Secretively, at some point in his lifetime, Guren seems to have been in cahoots with the seventh progenitor, Ferid Bathory. The two met up in an isolated area, where they would then share valuable information from their respective organizations, which they'd then use for their own benefits.
