Faust

Personality Faust is a soft-spoken sinner with a sharp tongue, prone to narcissism. She claims to be highly intelligent and appears to have the accomplishments to back up this self-proclamation - such as having developed Mephistopheles, albeit having stolen the blueprints, concepts, and mechanics of the current Mephistopheles from other various now-deceased inventors of T Corp. - but nonetheless comes off a bit arrogant because of this. She expresses absolute faith in her abilities and is calm even in troublesome situations. As one of the more quiet Sinners, Faust appears to simply prefer standing back and watching events unfold. As of recent chapters, she have been having information to divulge in the moment.

It's clear that Faust knows considerably more than she lets on, which is something that everyone around her seems to have already picked up on, including Dante. In Chapter 3, Sinclair leads the other Sinners through a passage under his old house, towards the Golden Bough. When he dully accuses Faust of bringing along the Sinners as sensors for the Boughs, she continues rambling on about the mission at hand rather than elaborating. When asked again by Dante, she tells them she is "simply not in the position to comment on it". Faust expresses a similar attitude regarding anything concerning their life before the clock head.

Under her usual calm, serious attitude, Faust appears to be a bit of a narcissist. In her dialogue for her base LCB Sinner card, she expresses that she always gets up after three hours of sleep (and used to believe that everyone does this), and does not concern herself much with hobbies.

Background Despite her role as a Sinner of the LCB, Faust has a unique position in Limbus Company that differs from the other Sinners. Faust personally recruited several members of the Limbus Company Bus Department and outranks even Dante when it comes to accessing information and files related to the company. When she recruited the members of the LCB she made deals with them, promising them that, by working with the company, they could have their most impossible wishes granted. After Yi Sang's abscondence from N Corp., Faust offered him the role of the first Sinner with the promise to help him recover his broken wings. At the end of Leviathan Faust appeared to recruit Vergilius as the guide of the LCB, telling him that in return they will bring Garnet and Lapis back to him. While the other members of the LCB have not had their recruitment to the company shown, all of them, including Faust herself, have contracts forbidding them from mentioning the deals they took when hired.

Faust is tied to what she defines the Gesellschaft, a net of connections with other Fausts which allows her to access knowledge and receive information from other dimensions. The Gesellschaft is what Faust refers to when she speaks in third person. This gives her the potential to know all things, but her own, personal knowledge is not nearly as extensive as she presents it to be. Additionally, the Gesellschaft can deny Faust's requests for information, although this seems to be an infrequent occurrence. The Gesellschaft also seems to intentionally omit information, though no reason has ever been given as to why they do this. Faust is certain that she has been improving and, as the journey continues, she will come to know and understand even more than she presently does. While the exact nature of the Gesellschaft's technology is unclear, its reach expands across the Mirror Worlds, and allows Faust to access information on dimensions that have previously been subject to cross-examination by other Fausts.

While little is known about her life prior to joining Limbus Company, the goal Faust works towards is realizing her dream to know all of the City.

Gesellschaft The Gesellschaft is a net of extra-dimensional connections utilized by Faust. This allows Faust to constantly access the knowledge gained by other versions of herself across the Mirror Worlds, and is the main ability Faust uses to fulfill her wish: to know all of the City.

Faust appears to preserve the knowledge she gains in the form of records, that are then shared with the Gesellschaft, and are accessible to Fausts of other Worlds. This is noticeably different from the other Sinners, who, when equipping an Identity, have their own memory effectively overwritten by it, and do not recall or retain any information or ability possessed by their alternate self.

Faust's connection to the Gesellschaft functions correctly as long as Faust is in a dimension that has already been analyzed by the Gesellschaft. The connection will be severed if she finds herself in an unidentified dimension. The Backdoor of Mephistopheles can restore this connection. This may be due to the bus being a dimensional space of its own, or due to its engine being the main hub of connection to the Gesellschaft.

Trivia Faust's character icon depicts a glass flask containing a form that resembles a brain or a rose. It bears a notable resemblance to Children in the Flask. Faust is represented by the 👻 emoji. Faust's particulars are listed as "insufferable" and "chronic lassitude". Faust is based on the protagonist of Goethe's tragic play, Faust. In Faust, Doctor Faust is a disillusioned but wise man, who strives to understand everything in the world, and is much beloved by God. The demon Mephistopheles makes a bet with God, that he will be able to lure Faust into temptation. Mephistopheles thus finds the doctor, who has been struggling with his research and pondering suicide, and offers him a contract, which Faust refuses. Instead Faust asks Mephistopheles to grant him a moment of true bliss, after which, he will die and happily serve the demon in the afterlife. Mephistopheles accepts this version of the contract, and begins his attempts to finally have Faust surrender to earthly delights. Faust's creation, Mephistopheles, is named after the demon from the same play. Both share their role of leading Faust into hell (in Limbus Company, the inferno). Faust's character icon appears to represent a Homunculus, a creature featured in one of the subplots of Faust Part Two. During the festival of Walpurgisnacht, the Homunculus created by Wagner, Faust's assistant, tries to become human. However, this fails, and the Homunculus dies as the flask shatters. Faust's introduction quote comes from the prologue of Faust, Part One: in response to Mephistopheles voicing his wish to lead Doctor Faust into temptation, God replies that for as long as Faust walks the earth, it will be possible, for man errs as long as he strives. Faust's weapon, Walpurgisnacht, shares its name with an event which occurs in Goethe's Faust, Part One. Walpurgisnacht is the gathering of witches and spirits on April 30th, which Mephistopheles guides Faust to in order to complete his descent into immorality. It also shares its name with Walpurgis Night, a major recurring event within the game. Like all of the Sinners, Faust voiced a "Document Excerpt" Youtube short. During HamHamPangPang's Limbus Company Pop-up theme, one of the available menu items was "Sinner Soul Food" which changed every week to be a different meal associated with one of the twelve playable Sinners. Faust's associated meal was Bratwurst. Faust's voicelines for Intervallo II, Canto V, and Canto VI were re-recorded following the 13th June 2024 update due to the vocal pitch being lower than intended. The term Gesellschaft most likely originates from German sociologist Ferdinand Tönnies's word for large, complex societies with bonds built on impersonal, indirect, and contracted relationships, characterized by social control and a focus on accomplishing tasks. This ties into Faust's work-oriented relationship with the Gesellschaft, which is abstract and lacks community, despite being composed of the same individual (across different Mirror Worlds).
