Personality
Saburou has a fairly laid back personality. She prefers to sit back and relax, only paying attention to things that interest her. Though she's a fairly powerful character she prefers to let others do the work for her. Taking advantage of their hard work to acheive her own goals. Despite her lazy nature she is a skilled manipulator, and is usually able to talk her way out of almost any situation. Due to her skills at dealing with people she is frequently used by Pi to make contact with people on Pi's behalf.

Basic Info
Little is known about Saburou in reality. Her way of referring to herself and her male name seems to imply that she may be male in the real world. However, she is adamant that she is a girl in the real world and simply acts like a boy because many boys act like girls in the game.
History
.hack//Roots
Saburou wielding a weapon
Saburou was originally a Black Ops Agent for the Guild TaN. Though never named, Saburou likely fought against the Twilight Brigade during TaN's move to capture Ovan. Following this event, TaN was disbanded and all members of the Black Ops were suspended. However, Pi used her powers as a system administrator to bring back several of the banned accounts, giving their users new PC bodies. Saburou was one of these people. Her new character would work for Pi, in the same way her old character had worked for Ender.
Saburou's first assignment was to follow the movements of Tabby who was suspected of being an Epitaph Wielder. Though much more interested in Haseo; Saburou took the assignment and began keeping tabs on Tabby's character. Later after realizing her mistake Pi reassigned her to follow Haseo. She followed him to the Painful Forest, a strange event area. Though Haseo resented her presence she traveled with him for a short time, keeping him healed as he fought through the event. After the pair ran into Taihaku she began to follow him instead, as she wanted to see the end of the event. Taihaku resented her presence and eventually abandoned her, leaving her lost in the forest.
Pi soon contacted her, asking to know why she wasn't with Haseo. This was unnerving to Saburou, who was unaware of Pi's status as an administrator. Realizing that she was only being used as a pawn Saburou decided to quit the event. But not before tracking down Haseo and giving him several rare items, as well as her member address containing a pass to a private server. She then left the event, where she was met by an angry Pi.
Pi demanded to know why she had left. Saburou responded that Ender, Pi, or whoever she really was had been lying to her. She would not allow herself to be used in the same way Ender and Naobi had used TaN. With that said Saburou left, quitting her job as Pi's associate.
In a later episode she fights Haseo to find the "attribute" Pi talked about. She is defeated easily and spends the rest of the series watching Haseo on her own volition, possibly looking for a way to seek revenge for her defeat.
In episode 24 (Confront), She meets Tabby and talks about Haseo. Tabby states that Haseo is a good person who is trying to help a friend, also stating that Haseo goes to the cathedral to pray. She asks Tabby what she is doing for that friend. When Tabby realizes she isn't helping Shino, she runs off to seek advice from Phyllo. Saburou goes to the cathedral to wait for Haseo. There, she sees Haseo enter the cathedral and watches in horror as he is data drained by Tri-Edge.
She remains at the cathedral and Touta enters, who asks what happened. She tells him that Haseo has been deleted. She does not make an appearance again in Roots, possibly because she realizes that The World is more than a game.
