Craig Hojo

Craig Houjou is a legendary mercenary that is introduced late into the Assassination Classroom manga. He leads a group of fellow elite soldiers known as "the Wolfpack".

Appearance
Houjou is a tall man with a fearsome aura. He has dark hair that is slicked back and light eyes that are covered with frameless glasses. He has a scar over his left eye and typically wears a cold, hard expression on his face.

Plot
Houjou makes his first cameo appearance in Chapter 161 as the government prepares to launch their master plan to kill Korosensei. He next appears alongside his men accosting Tōka Yada. A few of her classmates come to rescue her and the two groups had been on the brink of conflict but Karma Akabane instead apologises for his brashness. As they leave, Houjou observes that while the situation could have easily gotten messy, the students were more than what they appear.

When the time came to enact the government's master plan, Houjou led his team to quickly and efficiently subdue the entire Class 3-E, knowing that they could complicate the operation. Houjou later left the command building to take up positions on the mountain, both to block Korosensei off and kill any intruders that infiltrated the base perimeter of Earth's Shield.

Abilities
Houjou is a well trained foreign soldier with years of experience under his belt. His specialty in guerrilla warfare is accompanied by a fearsome reputation, and possesses such strength that Tadaomi Karasuma himself admits to be three times stronger than his just by looking at him.


 * Intelligence: Houjou is very calculating and perceptive, knowing that the students of Class 3-E are not just typical high school kids despite still being easy targets for him.


 * Guerrilla Warfare: As a former soldier he is also efficient in completing missions with quick speed and accuracy, one example being rounding up every student of Class 3-E in a split second. With his abilities and knowledge of guerrilla tactics, this qualifies him to be a master assassin.
