Limbus Company

Limbus Company: Character, Lore and Story Guide Limbus Company is a turn-based tactical strategy/gacha RPG set in the same universe as Lobotomy Corporation and Library of Ruina, after those games. Dante, an amnesiac Manager with a clock for a head, leads twelve "Sinners" through the City to collect the mysterious Golden Boughs. As of August 2026, Canto X is the latest main chapter.

1. The World: The City Structure: A city-state of about 7 billion people split into 26 Districts. The Great Lake lies south, the Outskirts around, the Ruins beneath. Wings and Nests: Each District is run by a giant corporation using "Singularity" technology, which bends physics. These are Wings, named by letter (L Corp, T Corp, K Corp, N Corp...). A Wing's directly governed safe zone is a Nest. Backstreets: Areas outside the Wings' direct control, ruled by Fixers and Syndicates. During the Backstreet Night (03:14-04:34) almost anything goes, and Sweepers destroy whatever remains outside. The Head: The unknown supreme authority. It controls the City through A, B and C Corp and enforces strict Taboos against human cloning, AI creation and resurrecting the dead. Fixers and Associations: Fixers are freelancers hired for jobs from small errands to active conflict, ranked Grade 9 to Grade 1; the best are "Colors". 13 Associations exist, overseen by the Hana Association. Syndicates and the Five Fingers: Gang-like organizations outside official rules. The five strongest, the Five Fingers, rival the Wings in power and jointly founded the House of Spiders. Dangers: Abnormalities are human-monster hybrids found in abandoned Lobotomy Corp facilities. Distortions are people who suffer severe mental collapse, answer a mysterious "voice", and transform into beings embodying their negative emotions; they can be killed and sometimes restored to human form. Enkephalin: An energy source derived from humans; it is both the game's currency and the fuel of the bus Mephistopheles. The Mirror and Mirror Worlds: Invented by Yi Sang at T Corp, this technology grants access to a person's alternate versions in infinite Mirror Worlds. It is the scientific basis of the Identity system.
2. The Main Trio Dante (the Manager): Average build, with a flame-spewing clock prosthetic in place of a head. Found amnesiac in a forest and hired by LCB. Through their bond with the Sinners, Dante can rewind the clock to revive fallen Sinners (painfully) and resonate with Golden Boughs. Only the Sinners and a few others understand their ticking speech. Vergilius ("Red Gaze"): A thin, ashen man with short gray hair, a facial scar, scratched hands and eyes that glow red when angry. A Color-rank Fixer who guides LCB and is guardian of the bus driver Charon. His contract keeps him out of fights unless Dante is in real danger. He once ran a Fixer office and cared for orphans, and carries deep guilt. Charon: A small, gray-skinned girl who drives Mephistopheles by instinct. She was once an ordinary girl named Lapis, raised in Vergilius's orphanage. Experiments by The Ring layered the "Charon" identity from another Mirror World over her personality, and her real self remains trapped.
3. The Twelve Sinners Each Sinner references a work of world literature. Their focus Cantos are noted.
4. Yi Sang (Yi Sang's 1936 story "Wings"): Pale, messy black hair, dark circles. Quiet and brilliant. Invented the Mirror technology at T Corp, was put to work for the New Nine Literati under Hermann at N Corp, and was drugged and controlled by Gubo before escaping to LCB. Canto IV.
5. Faust (Goethe): Pale, shoulder-length white hair, powder-blue eyes, long torn black coat. Arrogant yet cool-headed. The first to join LCB; he recruited Vergilius and Charon and designed Mephistopheles' engine, reportedly borrowing heavily from dead T Corp inventors. Canto XII, unannounced.
6. Don Quixote (real name Sancho; Cervantes): Short, bright blonde bob, large hazel eyes. Exuberant, obsessed with Fixers, and theatrical. She is a Bloodfiend who inherited the title "Don Quixote" in La Manchaland, and was recruited by Vergilius over 200 years ago. Canto VII.
7. Ryoshu (Akutagawa's "Hell Screen"): Straight black bob, sharp red eyes, coat over her shoulders, no tie. A quiet chain-smoker who prizes aesthetics. Raised in the House of Spiders, she escaped and adopted a girl, Araya, to build a normal life. Canto IX.
8. Meursault (Camus' "The Stranger"): Tall, broad, with slicked-back black hair and small green eyes. Distant and seemingly unfeeling; wants clear instructions and avoids moral judgments. Worked at the N Corp department store Grand Magasin Sisyphe without ever believing in N Corp's ideology. Canto X, the newest chapter.
9. Hong Lu ("Dream of the Red Chamber"): Tall black ponytail; heterochromia, with one cyan eye that is really a camera lens letting his family watch him. Seems curious, naive and kind, sometimes asking tactless questions as a rich heir; the naivety is a defense against heavy trauma. Real name Jia Baoyu of the Jia family that owns H Corp in District 8. Canto VIII.
10. Heathcliff (Bronte's "Wuthering Heights"): Tall, broad, dark-skinned, messy dark brown hair, purple-blue eyes. Impulsive and short-tempered, yet fragile and loving. Raised at Wuthering Heights, later worked for the Dead Rabbits Syndicate. His tragedy with childhood love Catherine is central. Canto VI.
11. Ishmael (Melville's "Moby-Dick"): Wavy knee-length orange hair, hazel eyes, freckles, wearing Queequeg's headpiece. Calm, rational and dependable. A bored U Corp desk worker who joined Captain Ahab's whaler Pequod; after it sank and nearly all the crew died, he joined LCB seeking revenge on Ahab. Canto V.
12. Rodion ("Rodya"; Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment"): Hip-length copper-brown hair, dark blue eyes, a mole under the right eye. Relaxed, sardonic, fond of gambling and money, moody at times. Fought injustice in District 25's Backstreets with a group called Yurodivy. Canto II.
13. Sinclair (Hesse's "Demian"): Short wavy blond hair, golden eyes. Timid, anxious, afraid of violence; the youngest and least experienced. Raised in Calw, District 11, where his family was slaughtered by a group led by former classmate Kromer. His uniform number looks like an "11" written over a "10", hinting he was first designed as the 10th Sinner. Canto III.
14. Outis (the "Nobody" alias of Odysseus in Homer): Dark-skinned, orange eyes, short brown hair. Sharp-tongued, strategic and condescending. The company has locked access to her past, which hints at Smoke War history. Canto XI, unannounced.
15. Gregor (Kafka's "The Metamorphosis"): dark brown ponytail, golden-brown eyes, half-rim glasses, a cigarette, and an "UNGEZIEFER" (vermin) tattoo on his left arm. Calm, witty and easygoing, but struggles when his body turns into an insect-like shell in intense moments. A Smoke War soldier experimentally enhanced with insect genes by old G Corp. Canto I.
16. Key Side Characters and Rival Groups Canto I. Hermann: tall middle-aged woman, pale, olive-green eyes, dark lipstick, wavy dark brown hair, navy N Corp uniform. Former G Corp chief scientist who altered soldiers with insect genes and calls Gregor her masterpiece and figurative son. Now on N Corp's board, she leads the (New) Nine Literati, LCB's Bough rivals, aiming to destroy all Mirror Worlds. Gubo: stern, red-rimmed glasses, short black hair; her field fighter who drugged Yi Sang. Yuri: ex-Lobotomy Corp Fixer who guides LCB and dies to an Abnormality. Canto III. Kromer: pale pink skin, silver eyes, silver hair with yellow highlights, silver plate armor. Sinclair's ex-classmate and leader of Nagel und Hammer, a cult violently opposed to prosthetics, as "One Who Grips". She massacred Sinclair's family on Christmas Eve. Guido: her deputy, the "Grosshammer". The N Corp Inquisition (District 14) hates cybernetics enough to dig up graves and display bodies with prosthetics. Canto V. Ahab: tall elderly woman, curly gray hair, harpoon-tipped prosthetic leg, green captain's coat. Obsessed with the White Whale, she led her crew to ruin. Canto VI. Catherine Earnshaw: short, wavy dark-blonde hair, brown eyes; Heathcliff's great love. To save him from becoming a monster, she plans to gather all Catherine versions and destroy herself. Nelly: head servant, tired of being caught between them, who allies with Hermann and manipulates Catherine toward suicide. Linton Edgar: Catherine's sickly husband, turned into "dough" to summon Erlking Heathcliff. Erlking Heathcliff: a Heathcliff from another Mirror World who lost his Catherine; masked, he leads the Wild Hunt, a ghost army of his victims, and wants every Heathcliff dead. The Ring: organization running secret Mirror World experiments, including Charon's personality swap. Canto VII. Bloodfiends live by drinking blood and are implied to feed on emotions and memories. Canto VIII. Jia Mu: grandmother, H Corp's Family Hierarch. Lady Wang and Jia Zheng: parents. Jia Xichun: younger sister with her own faction. Jia Qiu is pivotal in the evaluation. The Kong Family Massacre he saw as a child is the trauma behind his naivety. Canto IX. House of Spiders: secret assassin school backed by the Five Fingers. The Thumb: its branch of five Nursefathers and Apprentices, who want Ryoshu back. Valencina and Lucio: take Charon hostage. Araya: Ryoshu's adopted girl, actually a candidate raised to replace her.
17. Game Mechanics and Terms Identity: Alternate versions of each Sinner from different Mirror Worlds, obtained via gacha. E.G.O: Emotion- and sin-based weapons/abilities that any of that Sinner's Identities can equip. Sin Affinity: Seven categories: Wrath, Lust, Sloth, Gluttony, Gloom, Pride and Envy, based on the seven deadly sins. Golden Bough: Mysterious objects hidden in abandoned Lobotomy Corp facilities. Their ultimate purpose remains unclear. Mephistopheles: The Faust-designed bus, driven by Charon, that is LCB's transport and headquarters, fueled by Enkephalin. LCB / LCC / LCA: LCB (Limbus Company Bus Department) is the player's team; LCC (Limbus Company Clearance) supports in the field; LCA is a special operations unit whose purpose remains mostly secret.
18. Story Structure: The Cantos Chapters are called Cantos, with interludes called Intervallo. Each main Canto centers on one Sinner's past, while rivals like Hermann's group chase the same Boughs. Prologue, Selva Oscura: Dante wakes in a dark forest and is found by LCB. I, The Outcast (Gregor): In a District 4 facility, an Abnormality kills Yuri, and Hermann's team takes the Bough. Gregor's Smoke War past emerges. II, The Unloving (Rodion): A pawnshop and the Tingtang Gang in District 10 reveal Rodion's Backstreet past. III, The Unconfronting (Sinclair): In razed Calw, Sinclair faces Kromer. IV, The Unchanging (Yi Sang): His T Corp past, Gubo's drugging, and the Mirror's origin. V, The Evil Defining (Ishmael): On the Great Lake, Ishmael finds Ahab and enters the White Whale; with Dante's help he kills the Whale instead of Ahab. VI, The Heartbreaking (Heathcliff): At Catherine's funeral in District 20, LCB uncovers her lab plan, then Erlking and the Wild Hunt. LCB misses the Bough; Catherine is erased after a last moment with Heathcliff. VII, The Dream Ending (Don Quixote): LCB joins other Fixers to suppress the Urban Nightmare La Manchaland; Sancho's Bloodfiend nature is revealed. VIII, The Surrendered Witnessing (Hong Lu): In District 8, LCB joins the Jia family's Family Hierarch Evaluation and learns of the camera eye and the Kong massacre. IX, The Unsevering (Ryoshu): The Thumb attacks, taking Charon hostage; Ryoshu's upbringing and efforts to protect Araya come out. X, The Gaze Bearing (Meursault): References the trial scene of "The Stranger"; the latest main chapter. Upcoming: Canto XI (Outis) and XII (Faust) are unreleased. The game updates regularly; this reflects August 2026.
