Robbie Raver, Superstar Journalist - who moonlights as the hero [b]Omega Man[/b]. He was the one who popularized the Crusaders of Light previously, and he was filled with vindication to see that Canada hadn't given up after everything that had happened. Seeing her still doing heroics restored his faith and he has been the pen behind the furious popularization of the Phantom Thieves.

He does understand popular mood, though. Keeping Canada's name out of the headlines is necessary for now. He's looking to invent her a new alias and get the public used to that before asking for their forgiveness. But he, personally, is a believer.
