Bamboo-hatted Kim TF

Faust is an observant and intelligent woman with a slight know-it-all attitude. She was the first Sinner to be affiliated with Limbus Company, having spent the time leading up to it recruiting the members of the LCB and developing Mephistopheles. She is mostly busy with the company's affairs, so she is always busy.

Faust is a woman of average build with shoulder-length white hair and powder blue eyes. She has an incredibly pale complexion and a rosy tint to her cheeks.

She wears a beige turtleneck underneath a black leather vest with a large black leather coat resting on her shoulders, reaching her knees where the fabric is torn. She wears a black waist belt with her ID being on the left side. She wears black business pants accompanied by black shoes.

In battle, Faust wields a zweihänder with "WALPURGISNACHT" written on the blade near the hilt. While wielding it in one hand or holding it at rest, she has a tendency to grasp it by the ricasso rather than the hilt. Furthermore, the parrying hooks of the sword are heavily enlarged, forming what is essentially a second crossguard.

Faust is a talkative, albeit soft-spoken, Sinner with a condescending manner of speech and ineffably high confidence in her intelligence.

About Don Quixote:

Don Quixote is a rambunctious and steadfast woman with a strong sense of justice. She never parts with her shoes Rocinante on her quest to become a valorous Fixer of the City, and was previously associated with the amusement park of La Manchaland prior to joining Limbus Company.

Don Quixote is a short woman with blonde hair styled in a bob cut and deep, round hazel eyes. She wears the Limbus Company uniform: a plain white shirt tucked under a black waist belt, a red tie, black slacks, worn brown running shoes, and a long black coat. Her upper body is thoroughly decorated with various Fixer merchandise.

Notably, Don Quixote forgoes the Limbus Company uniform shoes and instead wears a pair of yellow shoes with the word "Rocinante" embossed on them. Don Quixote wears a variation of this footwear in nearly all of her Identities.

Don Quixote wields a massive jousting lance named "SUEÑO IMPOSIBLE" that towers over her, indicating that she is much, much stronger than she initially appears to be. This fact is further supported by her dexterity with such a massive weapon and her effortless ability to pierce a human skull with it at short distance.

Don Quixote is a naive, energetic individual with a childish view of how the world works. She talks in an exaggerated, animated manner and jumps into any scene with enthusiasm, regardless of the gravity of the situation. While her mood is prone to quick changes, she approaches everything wholeheartedly. On a bus filled with hardened personalities, Don Quixote sticks out as incredibly friendly, silly, and over-the-top woman. Fitting of her knightly persona, she speaks exclusively in Shakespearean English.

About another sinners: Heathcliff is an exceptionally short-tempered and abrasive individual, electing violence as a first resort, and aggression as a way of life. He is overly impulsive and quick to anger, with consequences for those involved. However, over the course of several Cantos, a considerably calmer, more considerate, and selfless side of his personality would come to light. Heathcliff is a tall and well-built man with messy dark brown hair parted on the right side of his head. He possesses sharp, glaring eyes that are a dark shade of purple, and slit pupils. His eyebrows are the same shade as his hair and are both slit, his right eyebrow having two slits and his left just one. He has a dark complexion with a number of scars littering his arms and going all the way up to his cheeks.

His work uniform lacks the typical long black leather jacket, instead including a holster which is strapped around his chest and shoulders, with his employee card hanging below his right breast. The sleeves of his Limbus Company white shirt are rolled up to his elbows. He wears a red tie, black suit pants with a black waist belt and dark gray shoes.

His weapon of choice is a long metal bat with bandages wrapped around the handle and the word "REVENGE" written in sharp letters on the barrel, which Heathcliff holds in his right hand and rests over his shoulder. After the events of Canto VI, he refashioned the bat to spell out "REmember". This is also reflected on his LCB Sinner battle sprites.

Ishmael is first introduced as a calm, level-headed Sinner with an expectation for sound and reasonable judgement. She considers herself to be one of the more sensible members of the team, and is often one to sigh or scoff at the foolishness of those around her. This tendency for being critical extends to her superiors, as Ishmael is the type to prioritize rationality above formalities. Generally, Ishmael does well to back up her somewhat haughty attitude with competence, making a consistent effort to stay informed on the current mission and the right course of action. She is also portrayed as an overall intelligent individual with a staunch, reliable nature. Regardless of her aptitude, however, Ishmael's quips tend to lean into antagonism, sparking arguments with those who rise to her provocations. Ishmael is a woman of average build with a fair complexion and wavy, fluffy and voluminous knee-length orange hair, and she wears a thick headband woven out of rope with white ribbons on either end, a memento of Queequeg and a recurring feature in nearly all of her Identities. She has hazel-colored eyes, at times appearing yellowish or orange, with sharp eyelashes and thin eyebrows, and a number of freckles across her nose and cheeks. Outis describes her hands as "coarse and rough".

Ishmael wears the standard Limbus Company uniform, although her coat that is torn at the waist, cutting off the last two letters of her name. Her employee ID is pinned to the coat's right breast.

Her weapon of choice is a flanged black mace made of numerous, vertical white stripes arranged radially, and she carries a circular shield with three bands across the face, branded with the word "HEARSE".

During her time as a sailor, Ishmael had chin-length hair and her uniform consisted of a gray sweater, thick overalls and black gloves. She also wielded a large harpoon.

Yi Sang is a particularly quiet, mellow man. At the beginning of the game, he fails to stand out much among his fellow Sinners due to his tendency to stay silent and watch rather than actively contribute to discussions. When he speaks, his words are often obscure and riddle-like with a monotone delivery, and his expression rarely changes. Yi Sang is a man of average build and pale complexion. He has short black hair which frays slightly at its ends, and dead-looking black eyes adorned with heavy eye-bags underneath. He wears the long-sleeved version of the Limbus Company coat around his shoulders, which appears to have been tattered and burnt at the bottom. Underneath his coat is the regular long-sleeved white shirt and red tie, and then a black vest, both of which are tucked into his belt. Written on the left breast of his coat is 'NO.1', and 'YI SANG' on the side.

Yi Sang wields a saingeom (사인검, lit. Four-Tiger Sword) in the shape of a dagger kept in a sheath strapped to his left hip. Yi Sang also possess a gray leather notebook labeled '하융' or Ha Yung — as seen on his base E.G.O, Crow's Eye View. The notebook and the dagger are at times visible in various Mirror Worlds.

Ryōshū has an individualistic, free-spirited, and somewhat sadistic personality. She feels little obligation to uphold common courtesies like politeness or attentiveness, and near the beginning of the game, the majority of her comments are hostile or violent in nature. Even among the Sinners, Ryōshū comes off as strikingly unfriendly and forthright, preferring to live at her own peculiar pace. While willing to back down if given the order, Ryōshū loathes being told what to do, which she's not afraid to make clear to Dante and Faust. Ryōshū is a woman of average height and build, with straight black hair in a bob cut style and sharp red eyes, which at times can be seen glowing. She wears the dark gray and red LCB coat around her shoulders, secured by a small belt that goes over her right arm. Attached to the coat itself is her ID card. She wears black trousers, and her shirt uniform untucked; she foregoes the tie. She is occasionally depicted with a black glove on her left hand.

Along with this, she typically carries around a sheathed ōdachi on her back,[5] with the words 無我夢中 阿鼻叫喚 支離滅裂 (mugamuchū abikyōkan shirimetsuretsu, "Wading through a dream, the self nowhere to be found. Like the Naraka of Avīci and Raurava. Severed and torn until even the form is undone.") across it. The ōdachi's hilt is golden, and decorated with a butterfly pattern. The end of the sheath is wrapped in a red ribbon. The blade is consistently sheathed, as pointed out during the story.[6] In Mirror Worlds, she typically wields a separate weapon, while noticeably still carrying her ōdachi behind her. After Canto IX, Ryōshū's ōdachi changes appearance, now being white with red string wrapped around the handle of the blade and along the scabbard. The words 三生縁分 三千世界 三世因果 (sanshou enbun sanzensekai sanzeinga, roughly "We are tied across all our lives, all possible worlds, and all possible times") are written upon it in the calligraphic style of her original scabbard. The sword is also revealed to be titled Arayashiki (阿頼耶識).

Rodion is a highly amiable woman who makes a consistent effort to be on friendly terms with the people around her. She presents herself as brazenly fun-loving, laid-back, and playful, with a preference for casual speech and nicknames. Rodya always makes an effort to be talkative and keep the mood up, both on the bus and during missions, cementing herself as one of the Sinners Dante looks to for help with breaking the ice. While her cheeky remarks and teasing occasionally come off as babying to the other members of the group, her nature makes it clear that she isn't acting out of ill will. Rodion is a tall and well-built woman with a pale complexion. She has thick, bushy hip-length brown hair and deep blue eyes, and a beauty mark under her right eye. She is always shown wearing orange eyeshadow and light pink lipstick. On her left breast is a tattoo of what appears to be an anatomically correct heart split by an axe.

She wears the standard Limbus Company uniform, a white dress shirt, black slacks, vest and a coat that is somewhat frayed at the bottom marked with 'RODYA' and NO.9', though she forgoes the tie and leaves her collar hanging loosely. Rodion also dons a thin black choker.

Rodion wields an axe with 'РАСКО́Л' spelled out on the head.

Outis is a strict, commanding woman whose history as a war veteran is at the forefront of her personality. Compared to other Sinners, she tends to be disciplined and well put-together, as she approaches most scenarios with a cool head and tactical mindset. This includes levying high levels of suspicion towards most everyone the LCB encounters, ensuring that everyone stays on their toes. She is also a quick thinker, and a highly opinionated one. Outis loathes to follow plans and people she does not agree with, and will not hesitate to talk back to individuals higher up the chain of command, so long as it wouldn't stand to disadvantage her. An excess of pride is evident in every action she takes. Outis is an olive-skinned woman of average build and height, with light brown eyes and brown hair. Her uniform is comprised of a short black jacket, a white dress shirt, a red necktie, formal black pants and black combat boots. She also has two gold earrings on her left ear, a broken wristwatch on her left wrist, and carries her sword sheathed on her left hip. Overall, Outis's uniform is well-kept, professional and lacks any adornments.

In battle, Outis wields a modernly designed kopis with "ΟΥΤΙΣ" written along the blade.

Sinclair is a timid, relatively passive individual with a fear of fighting. His initial position within Limbus Company can be likened to a fish out of water, with Dante even questioning whether he'd joined of his own free will. Generally, Sinclair is portrayed as uncertain, nervous, and withdrawn, not liking the violent nature of the world nor wanting to participate in it. Due to a sheltered background in the Nest, Sinclair lacks the disillusionment the majority of the other Sinners possess, and tends to harbor unrealistic expectations about the City and its people as a result. While this often causes friction between himself and the others, particularly Outis, Sinclair remains headstrong in his more hopeful beliefs. Sinclair is a young man with a fair complexion, below average in height. He has golden eyes and wavy, short blonde hair.

His primary work attire consists of a plain white shirt tucked into a black waist belt and is accompanied by black suspenders, black suit pants, and a long Limbus Company coat. He wears a red necktie and attached to his left suspender strap is his ID. Sinclair has black gloves and wears black oxfords at his feet.

In battle, Sinclair wields a halberd that is approximately 180cm long and has "VOGEL" written on the blade.

Hong Lu is an exceptionally curious person with a rather ditzy demeanor and friendly attitude. He exhibits a potent, almost childlike indiscriminate curiosity and wonder, to the point of baffling the people around him. While this implies having lived a sheltered lifestyle up until his employment with Limbus Company, a closer inspection into Hong Lu's life will reveal that he grew up in a difficult family full of danger, betrayal, and lofty expectations. Hong Lu speaks casually of attempted murder and abuse against him in a similar way to how he approaches the hardships of the City, almost as if it has nothing to do with him. He has a tendency to give off the impression that he doesn't have particularly strong feelings about anything, regardless of the severity of the topic. While sometimes jarring, this trait primarily serves to make Hong Lu come off as amusingly easygoing and absentminded. Hong Lu is of average height and build, with a pale complexion and raven black hair. His hair is very long, and tied into a high ponytail with a cyan hair tie, which he wears in most of his Identities. Notably, he has heterochromia: his right eye is black, and his left eye is a bright cyan.

His typical outfit consists of an LCB uniform consisting of black pants, a white long-sleeved dress shirt with a red tie, under a black, low-cut vest tucked into a belt. Additionally, Hong Lu wears a long black coat that reaches just above his ankles. This coat has his Sinner number on his left, and a metal pin inscribed with his name on the right.

Meursault is a very prompt man, with a penchant for following orders. He speaks bluntly and concisely, never mincing his words. Throughout his first few adventures with the LCB, Meursault is reserved and obedient to the point of not speaking or acting on the sole basis of not having been asked to. Meursault is a tall, well-built man with slicked-back black hair and small green eyes. He possesses a sharp face with a thick neck and wide eyebrows. He wears the Limbus Company vest, but opts not to overlay it the standard company coat. Underneath his vest is the typical white collared shirt and red tie. His ID hangs from his right breast. Meursault's belt is notably different from the other sinners', and rather than being fitted with several silver frames, has one large, rusted chain link for a buckle in the middle.

In battle, Meursault wields two elbow-length gauntlets in battle; the lower portion of the right gauntlet has the word "SOLEIL" emblazoned on it.

Gregor is a friendly, easygoing Sinner with a casual manner of speaking. Compared to many of his coworkers, Gregor is considerably amicable, and tends to maintain a cursory attitude. He is not strict nor hostile to those around him, and Dante looks to Gregor as someone who would willingly uplift the group's mood in dour situations. He also possesses a "cutesy" side to his personality, usually poking through when he is embarrassed. Gregor is a man slightly below average height, with golden-brown eyes, dark brown hair tied back in a ponytail, and a 5 o'clock shadow. He wears half-rimmed black glasses. In most appearances, Gregor is shown with a cigarette in his mouth.

He wears the standard Limbus Company uniform, consisting of a white collared shirt, black vest, red tie, black pants, and an ID card, as well as a long coat, which he does not typically wear. His sleeves are both rolled up to his elbows, and a tattoo reading the word "UNGEZIEFER" is visible on his left forearm. His most notable feature is his right arm, a segmented limb that terminates in a massive, claw-like appendage.

Much like the protagonist of The Metamorphosis which he is based on, Gregor's right arm is never attributed to a single particular insect. Instead, it combines the characteristics of multiple different insects, though Gregor is most frequently associated with cockroaches.

Compared to their twelve companions, Dante is a considerably grounded and passive individual. Despite their position as manager, they tend to fall in line with whatever other, more enlivened people are around, making snide comments as they're strung along for mischief and antics. Likewise, as a person, Dante is somewhat awkward. They have a penchant for cracking jokes to lighten the mood, but said jokes are rarely well-received, even among the moodmakers of the LCB. Given their situation, Dante also frequently finds themselves out of the loop, forced to ask basic questions and give up when they only receive cryptic answers. Luckily for them, Dante appears to be comfortable asking questions and relying on others as needed. He Manager LCB. Dante is a person of average build with a distinctive prosthetic head that resembles a clock and has constantly burning flames emerging from the back and top of the prosthetic. The face of the clock lacks numbers, instead having two red circles roughly where the "10" and "11" positions would be. Additionally, the prosthetic has two golden clock hands that move forward after certain major events. Starting in the Prologue, Dante's minute hand rested at 9, then moved forward to just before 10 after Canto IV, and moved forward again to its current position of just after 10 after the events of Canto VII. Dante's flames burn black and gold, and never seem to go out.

Their uniform differs from the other Sinners, their coat being a mix of red, yellow, and white — likely due to their role as Executive Manager. 'NO. 10' is written on their coat near the lapel, along with 'DAN TE' near the end of it. They wear a red tie and a tucked long-sleeve dress shirt, with black pants and a white belt.

The main task of all sinners is to collect golden branches from the City's districts... along the way, of course, there will be battles, in which bloodshed is inevitable... but they have Dante... Dante can resurrect them

Bamboo-hatted Kim is a tall man whose actual features remain hidden behind his clothing, and by his namesake, his signature bamboo hat. He wears the standardized Blade Lineage robes, which remain untied. Underneath the robes he wears a gray buttoned dress suit, white dress shirt, and a tucked red tie. He wears black gloves while carrying a Blade Lineage jikdo which is usually unsheathed, holding it in his right hand. He also wears gray dress pants and black dress shoes. His signature bamboo hat is damaged near the left side, revealing a blazing azure eye.

Under his bamboo hat, Kim has long, dark blue hair kept in a ponytail & azure eyes. Notably, and contrary to the Blade Lineage's pride, Kim has no visible scars on his skin. As a member of the LCD, his outfit remains the exact same, only with an employee card attached to the left side of his coat.

Under the influence of the Monolith as a Distortion, his form noticeably changes. His robes and dress attire grow more elongated, bloodied and ragged. His bamboo hat is now more damaged and there is a more notable intensity coming from his blazing blue eye. There is a more notable dark aura surrounding him as a Distortion, with his sheathe to his jikdo no longer present, as his sword is more elongated, bloodied and now shows cuts along the blade. He is also wearing a metal mask beneath his hat, with a resemblance to the face of a Dokkaebi (Korean goblin). His distorted form has several other qualities that allude to Dokkaebi, including the blue flame and his hat.

His E.G.O manifests as his signature bamboo hat, with his blade becoming significantly longer and curved, though worn and dirtied aswell. He also gains a new, blue scabbard with gold ornamentation. The blade is partially covered by a shifting, azure aura.

Bamboo-hatted Kim speaks rarely, though when he does, he does so in a rather solemn, verbose tone. Even when facing certain death or under influence of the Monolith, he continues to speak calmly, showing no sign of hesitation when in any of his battles. From his battle text and Key Page in his reception seen in Library Of Ruina, he speaks rather cryptically and often sees those without scars or sign of former injury in battle as a sign of cowardice, and does not permit them to join or train them in the Blade Lineage.

As a Distortion, his lack of emotion is more apparent. He purely shows his battle instinct as his only course of action is to strike and battle anything that comes within his sword's range.

When not under duress, however, he is far more casual than initial impressions of him seem. He describes himself as someone who simply goes with the flow, and is very lazy in temperament, often joking around and taking opportunities to slack off instead of working. However, he is also very observant, with a knack for intuition and identifying problems so he can nip them in the bud before they escalate. In truth, his actions are also a coping mechanism for the guilt he feels at his failure to make change in S Corp. and his perceived responsibility for the Blade Lineage's decimation, as well as his fear of continuing to carry on living with his dishonor.

In the past, Kim had a sharp wit and was adept at deliberately annoying his conversation partners, a trait he still possesses to a lesser degree in the present. He was also more diligent despite retaining his lackadaisical attitude, strictly abstaining from drink whenever on duty.

Story:

Like his followers in the Blade Lineage, Bamboo-hatted Kim originally came from S Corp.'s Nest. Originally a pursuant of the "path of the Brush", he passed the Royal Examination with flying colors but did not take up an official position, instead going into self-imposed exile in the Backstreets. The popular view was that this was because he had become disgusted by the corruption of his forebears.[1] However, his actions may have been driven more by the events of the examination, where he inadvertently shamed himself by writing an essay condemning a historical traitor to S Corp., whom Kim later realized was his own ancestor.[2]

At some point, he learned the Swordplay of the Homeland and managed to get back into the Nest, having been found by the Right State Councilor and hired as his bodyguard. Kim shared the councilor's ideals, wishing to undo the inequality that plagued S Corp. During his service, Kim met Im Gyeong-eop, the Military Commissioner of the Sal Circle, who found him throwing rocks at corrupt officials that she was hunting down. Despite coming from different Circles and Kim's attempts to aggravate her, the two would become friends and drinking partners.

One night, the Right State Councilor was beset upon by an army of assassins sent by the Left State Councilor. Kim killed many of them, but failed to stop them from breaching into the Councilor's private quarters. However, it would be revealed by one of the conspirators, Han Ho-bae, that the entire thing had been a set-up that the Right State Councilor had been in on: using a forged note and the Left State Councilor's private forces posing as assassins, they framed Kim for attempting to assassinate the Right State Councilor and slaughtering the "assassins", who were publicly declared as guards sent to protect the Right State Councilor's life. Betrayed by his councilor as part of the collusion to remove a threat to the Left State Councilor's plans, Kim was arrested and branded with the Mark of a Nobi, sapping his strength and robbing him of much of his swordplay prowess.

In prison, he was discovered by Im Gyeong-eop, who discreetly freed him and allowed him to flee, urging him to one day return to S Corp. with new allies and help uproot the Wing's corruption. Im herself would remain in S Corp., attempting to promote change and waiting for Kim's return to serve as a valuable ally from within the Wing's inner circle. Kim would flee S Corp. and eventually join the Blade Lineage, a Syndicate largely comprised of fellow S Corp. refugees. He would eventually become the Mentor of the Blade Lineage.

With his "spirit broken," and seeing that they had become little more than wandering vagabonds, Bamboo-hatted Kim tried to provide for his followers by finding a territory to settle down in, but all the places they went to were already occupied by other Syndicates. Eventually, Kim led his group to the Backstreets of T Corp, where they ended up in conflict with the Kurokumo Clan. In the midst of the fighting, he received an invitation from the Library. Believing it to be a better option for his followers, he accepted it only for all of them to be defeated in the Library's reception and turned into books.

Like other victims of the Library, Bamboo-hatted Kim returned from his book form back to the Backstreets of District 20 alongside Aeng-du and his other Blade Lineage followers, seemingly not long before the events of Intervallo III. Coincidentally, Bamboo-hatted Kim returned near the top floors of the Yong-jin Building, where a large number of Kurokumo Clan members were standing guard waiting to transport a Monolith as per orders of the Thumb. Surprised by their sudden appearance, the Kurokumo Clan engaged the Blade Lineage in fierce battle. Despite Bamboo-hatted Kim's prowess, the Blade Lineage members were overwhelmed by numbers and cut down one by one until only Kim and two others remained. Seeing his allies defeated and being in a vulnerable, traumatic position that "shook him to the core" (reminding him of his past failure in S Corp.), Bamboo-hatted Kim distorted. It is revealed by Jun that Kim proceeded to slay every living person in the room indiscriminately, excluding Jun himself, who escaped Kim's wrath and stood guard in front of the door to the room where the Monolith and Kim lay dormant in order to protect the rest of his men.

The Sinners eventually encountered Aeng-du, who was fighting the Kurokumo Clan elsewhere in T Corp's Backstreets and was looking for her mentor. The Sinners accompanied her, as they had been ordered to recover the Monolith. They eventually reached the Yong-jin Building and encountered Jun, who explained what has happened and refused to let them enter. Shortly after Jun was defeated, Aeng-du and the Sinners entered the room. Injured, Kim escaped to his fathoms, where his traumatic memories from S Corp. were manifested. After facing the Sinners and being defeated once more, dispelling the dungeon, the Monolith's influence on Kim weakened. With Dante successfully retrieving the Monolith, Bamboo-hatted Kim reverted to a normal human, yet was stabbed by Aeng-du behind a sofa as she could not bear to see Kim slaughtering his own students. After Meursault swiftly knocked out Aeng-du while she was beginning to distort, the LCA retrieved Kim and Aeng-du to be brought to the LCD to study them as both subjects of the Distortion and returnees from the Library.

---

Aeng-du is a short young woman with pale skin and large black eyes. She wears her black hair long, with it reaching her ankles. Her forehead is obscured by a set of blunt, black bangs, with two strands resting just past her ears. She wears a red headband at all times, and two beads hold the end of her hair together: a smaller, red one on top, and a larger white one underneath it.

She wears a deep navy hoodie emblazoned with the LCD logo on its left shoulder, over a white button-down with a red tie. Over her top, she wears a small black vest and an employee ID. At her waist, she wears a dark pleated skirt over a set of similarly colored slacks, her feet covered by leather boots. Her arms are replaced by a set of dark, highly augmented, prosthetic arms. She carries a Mook Workshop blade, notable for its black sheathe with a pale silver ornamentation. From its silver hilt, a red tassel hangs.

During her time when she was primarily a Blade Lineage Salsu, she wore a seat of deep navy Dopo robes with a white trim, tied at her waist. Beneath her robes, she wore a high-necked black garment. From her sash dangled two tassels, one red, the other white. Her bulky sleeves bundled into gloved hands, with her fingers exposed. She wore black leggings, with dark loafers ornamented by a white vertical strip across them. She wielded a black hwando with a gold hilt and pommel, with one red tassel hanging from it.

Aeng-du is a deeply determined person, somebody who is willing to push herself through extreme situations for those she cares about, most especially Bamboo-hatted Kim. She has an unshakable determination even in hopeless situations, expressing the importance in trying her absolute best even if she expects to fail. However, she carries a deep-seated worry over her own position in society, exacerbated after being forced from the District she once called home, something that she shares a kinship with Yi Sang about.

She shows a more casual side of her personality around her Mentor, readily chastising him over his laziness, frequently attacking him for his avoidant nature. Similarly, she acts exponentially more devout towards him, singing his praises at every possible moment in an attempt towards building up others' expectations of him. These are not entirely misplaced, as she truly cares for and trusts him, though she understands his divide in casualness being vastly different between those he trusts and outsiders. Despite Kim's status as her Mentor, she treats him more like an equal peer.

Story:

Aeng-du was a resident of District 19 and member of the Blade Lineage, attempting to fight against the corruption found in the District. Eventually, they were forced to leave for their safety, and the mentor of the Blade Lineage, Bamboo-hatted Kim, led them in search of a new home. While attempting to find territory to call their own, they came into conflict with the Kurokumo Clan and Bamboo-hatted Kim decided to accept an invitation from the Library to escape the other Syndicate. At the Library, Aeng-du and the other Blade Lineage members were defeated and turned into books.

Shortly before the events of Intervallo III, the Syndicate returned from their book forms and found themselves in the Backstreets of District 20, although not all would awaken in the same place. Aeng-du and a group of her fellow Blade Lineage members were separated from their mentor and, in their search for him, would run into the Kurokumo Clan and were forced to fight them. Despite their best attempts, the Blade Lineage was outnumbered and unprepared, leading to their near total defeat. Luckily for Aeng-du, the Sinners got involved with the fight while searching for information and, upon seeing her severely wounded state, Don Quixote requested that they fight to save the woman. Dante had a gut feeling that Aeng-du has the information they seek, so they brought her back to Mephistopheles after defeating the Kurokumo Clan members.

On the bus, Yi Sang treated Aeng-du's wounds and calmed her down when she assumed the Sinners are a threat to her. The two bond over both being from District 19 and she explained to him the story of the Blade Lineage and how she came to be here. Recalling those memories reminded her of how Bamboo-hatted Kim was still missing, making her urge the Sinners to make their way to the Yong-jin Building to help find her mentor. It turned out that Dante's assumption that she would be related to their mission was correct, and the group made their way to the building where they fought their way upwards past groups of Kurokumo Clan members. At the top floor, they ran into Jun, a Captain of the Kurokumo Clan, and Aeng-du drew her blade against him. Unfortunately, due to her extremely injured state from the earlier battles, she collapsed to the ground without landing a hit on him. The Sinners defeat Jun in battle, and Aeng-du recovered enough in the meantime to tie him up and interrogate him.

In this conversation with Jun, Aeng-du learned what happened when Bamboo-hatted Kim awoke from being a book. Jun explained that after witnessing the death of many of the Blade Lineage members that had appeared alongside him, the man began to cut down ally and foe alike. In order to protect his men, Jun decided to lock Bamboo-hatted Kim in the room and wait for the Thumb to arrive for the object the Kurokumo Clan was guarding before the sudden arrival of the Blade Lineage. This information shocks Aeng-du, but she still wanted to talk to her mentor in the hopes he can explain what happened. Following this, she knocks Jun unconscious and opened the door to find a distorted Bamboo-hatted Kim standing before her. He gave no response to her questions, and when she stepped too close, prepared to strike. Sinclair managed to push her out of his blade's path, saving her life, and the Sinners prepare to suppress the Distortion.

Inside the Fathoms of Bamboo-hatted Kim's ego, the group learned the truth of his past and Aeng-du begins to understand the circumstances that lead him to become the person that he is. The Sinners successfully suppress the Distortion and learn that the object the Kurokumo Clan was guarding is known as the Monolith and can influence nearby people to distort. With help from the LCD, Dante brought Bamboo-hatted Kim to his normal form. Aeng-du was still distraught over the fact he had cut down his fellows and drove her blade deep into her mentor's flesh. She mentions hearing a voice becoming more clear as she gets closer to distorting, and Dante quickly ordered Meursault to knock her out. This stops the process, and Aeng-du and Bamboo-hatted Kim were both taken by the LCA so that the LCD can study the Monolith's effects on them.

After being taken in by Limbus Company she officially joined the LCD as a member of the Distortion Task Force, and was present among the survivors of The House of Spiders's assault on the company's headquarters.

After being separated into groups due to the headquarter security systems locking the larger collective into smaller groups, Aeng-du was a part of a group consisting of her, Moses, Ezra, Hong Lu, Rodion, Outis, and Ishmael. This group, with aims to suppress any rampant Abnormality, Distortion, or Peccatula, located deeper in the facility. Within the LCE research team security unit's room, the group witnessed a display of Matthias slaughtering LCA members, only to be surprised by Kira who watched alongside them. While she admonished Kira, the latter simply viewed Aeng-du as a reflection of a fellow fan of her beloved "The Cloudburst Blade", beginning a one-sided discussion of the media. This talk was immediately ceased, as Matthias came searching for his apprentice, prompting the LCD and company to begin an impromptu game of hide and seek with the apprentice after a brief confrontation with the Nursefather.

While hiding, Aeng-du prepared for an oncoming battle through acquiring one of Ezra's specialized Workshop-grade weapons, a Metzil Workshop broadsword. Soon after, Aeng-du is shocked by the ability of Matthias to instantly defeat Drenched Gossypium while it battled Kira. With few options left, and the Sinners present falling unconscious due to Dante's powers, Ezra, Moses, and Aeng-du prepare for battle with the Nursefather. Utilizing a combined effort of Moses abusing the latent Distortion within Matthias, a released Ambling Pearl dousing Matthias in paralytic slime, and Aeng-du and Ezra prepared to battle, they prepared an assault aiming to behead Matthias - they are unsuccessful, however, as the target utilizes a Moonlight Stone to free himself from Moses' shackles, both physically through her smoke and the mental of impending Distortion. In the brief moment of freedom, he fought back against the two attacking him, causing Aeng-du's arms to be severed, still holding her blade. Though Matthias viewed the effort as commendable, his opponents found the situation unwinnable; a feeling quelled soon after as Vespa, newly appointed to the role of a Color Fixer, began combat against the Nursefather to the point of a stalemate, where he is forced to abscond with Kira in tow.

Four days later, while preparing for the raid on the House of Spiders, Aeng-du was present to speak alongside the LCD team. Joining her faction alongside the rest in oncoming battle, she was comforted by Ezra with the notion to "think about what style of new arms she will want". Acting as a helping voice to the group, she spectated their battle against Matthias.

Some time following Operation Spider Pyre, Aeng-du went shopping alongside Ezra for new arms and a sword, acquiring

Moses is a short, middle aged woman with black hair and white highlights, and visible wrinkles around her eyes. She has pale skin and dark grey eyes.

Her main outfit consist of a white shirt with long sleeves with ruffles, a red ribbon tied around the collar of her shirt and an off-the-sleeves grey jacket with golden trimming and cross-shapped golden buttons. She wears high waisted black pants with golden stripes, and black shoes with white and gold accents.

She always carries with her churchwarden pipe, later revealed to be her Psychoment, which has a long black mouthpiece and a golden diam, adorned with a red tassel. This allows her to purify incomplete Distortions, pacify and/or suppress enemies, depending on the smoke's color. Her "pale breath" attack comes at a direct cost of shortening Moses' lifespan. Her purple breath creates "binds" from her regret, her pale breath creates a blue mist capable of slowing down her opponent, her red breath transform the smoke into a blade, and her white breath creates a mist that protects from mental attacks.

After her conflict with Vespa during Chapter 19, her right arm was replaced by a prosthetic.

Moses holds a calm and analytical attitude to any situations that she happens to find herself in, be it facing distortions or near-death scenarios. Even in moments of extreme danger, she is able to keep her composure and unravel the source of any distortions she happens to find herself against. She has a deep trust in her allies, especially her assistant Ezra, trusting in their combat capabilities and ability to stay safe while she utilizes her analytical skills.

She does not seem to have any aversion to shortening her own life-span if it means that it will protect either her or the people close to her, much to Ezra's dismay.

In the past, Moses was wholly devoted to Lady Dias as a result of being raised by her. Her entire sense of morality was based around what Dias wished for and what she did not, and Moses would do anything to help make Dias' dreams a reality. Through her time leading Udjat, Moses was ordered to commit horrible atrocities in the Smoke War and started to question herself, with this doubt in Dias coming to a head after Moses led vast majority of the Udjat to their deaths. After this event, Moses lost all faith in Dias and carries a deep sense of guilt over her actions that day. Due to this change in perspective, when speaking with Dias or Han Hee-joon, she takes on a much colder and aggressive attitude. Despite this, she tends to capitulate to their demands when offered a way to "atone for her past".

Story:

Moses was an abandoned child who was found by Dias and raised by her. Dias told Moses to think of her as an older sister and gave her an education and a chance at life that Moses would never have had if not for Dias.[4] As Moses grew up, she found her entire worldview shaped by Dias' wishes and dreams, and was willing to follow her through anything to see her one day ascend to becoming the Head. When Dias formed the Udjat, she put Moses in the position of Captain and registered her as the Office Rep.

During her time as the Captain of the Udjat, Moses did not treat her subordinates with much respect or regard their lives as having much value. She killed innocents and did not question Dias' orders even when she knew that she was being lied to. One day, Moses met Ezra, the 2,142nd agent of Udjat who was personally recommended by Lady Dias. Moses was not fond of the young, overconfident woman and the two got into a fight where Moses humiliated her in single combat. As the missions went on, however, Moses would start to see the members of Udjat as a sort of second family and grow closer to Ezra. Ezra questioned the actions they took, pointing out that as Fixers, killing innocents should be unthinkable to them, yet they did it anyways. This seed of doubt would grow in Moses, and truly shake her belief in Dias after the Smoke War began.

Dias started the Smoke War in order to help Lobotomy Corporation rise to be a Wing of the City, and sent the Udjat into frequent battles over the course of the war. During one of these battles, something went wrong and Moses quickly realized that she had just lead her entire Office to their deaths. In a desperate attempt to spare any of Udjat agents, she managed to save herself as well as Ezra and Han Hee-joon. This mission was some sort of experiment arranged by Dias, and Moses could no longer support the woman she had once been willing to do anything for. Around this point in time, Moses developed the ability to see Distortion on others and manifest her E.G.O.

Moses left Udjat along with Ezra and Han Hee-joon, and the three joined the Seven Association. Eventually Moses formed her own Office, which was affiliated with the Seven Association, and Ezra followed her and became her assistant. Now acting as the 'Distortion Detective', Moses' primary job was to help resolve cases of Distortion such as the ‘Merfolk’ and ‘Balloon People’. During the case of The Blood-red Night, Moses' Office assisted the other Offices in a collaborative effort to study her, although Moses and Ezra did little to contribute.

Ezra is a tall woman with red eyes and long blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, and adorned with a star-shaped pin. She wears a large gray jacket with orange trimmings, matching boots, and a black miniskirt over gray tights. Ezra always carries a dimensional bag with her, which contains all of her weapons and first-aid gear. Her coat and bag are covered in stickers, patches and pins, as Ezra is fond of decorating everything she owns.

As a Distortion, Ezra appears with stag horns, and her body is covered in masks that each express different emotions.

When Ezra manifests E.G.O with the help of a pendant created by YuRia, it appears as pieces of armor that cover her body wherever she gets hit.

Ezra is a bubbly, boisterous person that is enthusiastic about many of life's joys. She speaks casually with everyone she meets, leading to her struggling to keep secrets or keeping up an act when attempting to lay low. Her favorite things to do are snack on good food, especially sweets, and research and discuss the latest and greatest weaponry in the City. As seen when dealing with Distortions, Ezra has the tendency to act without thinking and can get herself into trouble, but this is counteracted by Moses always looking out for Ezra's safety. In return, Ezra is willing to protect Moses with her life and the two women rely on each other's abilities on every job they take.

Due their time in Udjat, during which Moses was Ezra's captain, Ezra learned to following Moses' commands and became fiercely loyal to her. She is deeply troubled by the fact Moses cares so little about her own life and has seen it as her duty to protect Moses ever since the woman saved her life during the Smoke War. When others disrespect Moses or upset her, Ezra's cheery facade drops and she turns cold as she demands, occasionally with the threat of violence, that Moses is treated with the respect she deserves.

In truth, much of what Ezra presents to others is not fully reflective of her true emotions. She adapts herself to behave in a way that others expect her to, whether that be putting on a mask of sadness or, most often, happiness. That said, not all of how she comes across is faked and she takes genuine joy in her hobbies and interests. Her time as an Udjat haunts her, and she finds that the best way to cope is to seek joy in life instead of taking everything seriously. Overall, Ezra lives by that philosophy and does her best to have fun and focus on the things she loves, even if she struggles at times to be unapologetically herself.

Story:

Ezra was the 2,142nd agent of Udjat and was personally recommended for the team by Lady Dias. When she first joined, she was overconfident in her abilities and disrespectful of Captain Moses' authority, which led to Moses handily defeating her in combat to show that Ezra still had much to learn. Throughout her time in Udjat, Ezra came to doubt if what they were doing was the right thing. She questioned why they killed innocents and how they were kept in the dark by Dias, but still ultimately followed orders when it came time to participate in the Smoke War. During one of their battles in the war, a secret experiment by Dias led to a disastrous outcome where the entire Udjat was met with certain death. Ezra and her fellow Udjat agent Han Hee-joon were saved by Moses' desperate attempts to prevent even a single death that day, and from then on Ezra found herself indebted to Moses.

Ezra, Moses, and Han Hee-joon left Udjat after the tragedy of that battle and found work with the Seven Association. After the events of White Nights and Dark Days, Moses and Ezra opened Moses' Office in the Backstreets of District 14, with the Office being directly affiliated with the Seven Association. They accepted contracts related to Distortions, utilizing Moses' ability to see Distortion Phenomenon on people who had not yet distorted to solve cases that few others could.
