"That girl, is cute. Or perhaps I should say just the type that I end up harassing!" —Anonydeath
Anonydeath (アノネデス Anonedesu ), is a new character introduced in Neptunia V. He is a master hacker, in charge of the Seven Sages' intelligence. Despite his gender being male, he has a heart of a pure maiden. In other words, an okama. A person who has hidden himself in a mechanical suit, no one has seen his real face. A hedonist that does what he finds pleasing, he joined the Seven Sages just because he found it interesting. Since his combat abilities are low, he seldom fights openly, and he operates in a way that involves working more behind the scenes. Since most of this body is a machine, even if he's badly beaten while fighting, once he has the chance of repairing himself he can still fight.
Real Life Analogue[]
Anonydeath's name is a play on the hacktivist collective Anonymous. Like Anonymous, Anonydeath interfaces the world through a giant machine (the internet). His regenerative ability is a reference to the tendency of new individuals to take up the mask of "Anonymous" and continue attacks after the previous hackers have been arrested.
But while his name derives from Anonymous, his true analogue is probably the person(s) who hacked Playstation Network in 2011 (alluded to by his Lastation residency), which resulted in the theft of millions of customers' data and hundreds of millions of dollars in fines levied against Sony.

- Neptune contradictorily describes Anonydeath as both "old" and "young," indicating that he may have a light hair color close to grey or white. There is also a scene where Vert compares herself to him. Assuming she means appearance, it can be inferred that he has platinum blonde hair and blue eyes.
- His appearance may be feminine, as Plutia describes him as "cute," Neptune calls him a "hot pocket," Nepgear describes him as "adorable," and Mr. Badd's "daughters" describe him as "pretty."
