Limbus Company (Hangul: 림버스 컴퍼니, Rimbeoseu keompeoni) is a large and well-fixed company owned by Dias that has been capitalizing on the fall of Lobotomy Corporation in order to have the LCB raid what remains of its branches and secure the Golden Boughs from within.

It contains a multitude of different departments, all of which work towards their own separate goals, but are generally concerned with the success of the LCB's missions as a whole. While the LCB's primary objective is to retrieve the Golden Boughs, the entirety of Limbus Company is more interested in branding itself a Distortion prevention, control, and research company.[1]

These departments are said to lack a common goal,[5] but tend to behave in ways benefiting the LCB's amateurish adventures, such as planning out the Sinners' missions or cleaning up their messes after the fact. The company's only known corporate officer is its Chief Executive Director Dias.[6]

While the LCB's specific objective is to capture the Golden Boughs, the greater company finds its cause in the Distortion phenomenon, and considers itself an enterprise specializing in the research and maintenance of Distortions.[1] However, Abnormalities, E.G.O, Peccatula, and Monoliths are additional points of interest for Limbus Company.[7] Limbus Company is also noted to be talented in the realm of information-gathering.[8][9] Furthermore, Limbus Company operates as a business on the side,[10] and possesses a purchase catalogue to offer to potential buyers.[11] Through this, the director of T Corp. could buy all of the Monoliths Limbus Company had in stock at the end of Intervallo IV: Timekilling Time, regardless of Faust or Vergilius' personal feelings on the matter. It was also around this time that Limbus Company began making a small name for itself, to the point of P Corp.'s Cesara having heard rumors of the LCB before meeting them.

Goals The principal, overarching reason for Limbus Company's existence has not been made explicit. However, finding and holding onto the Golden Boughs appears to be one of—if not the most—important goal for the company.[12] Specifically, Limbus Company has tasked the LCB with collecting the Golden Boughs, and the LCE with grafting them together to form a singular sapling.[13] The hope is that this sapling, once planted, will eventually become a tree to harvest an "apple" from.[14] As of Canto IX: The Unsevering, five more Boughs are thought to be needed for this task.[15] In the meantime, collected Boughs are stored in a laboratory at the HQ.[16]

Limbus Company is also interested in understanding and modeling themselves after the now-defunct Lobotomy Corporation. Dias has gone to great lengths to gather leads on Distortions, Enkephalin, and L Corp.'s Singularity,[17] and the company itself is entrenched in L Corp.'s old work practices via the LCE's daily Abnormality and E.G.O management. Similarly, a number of parallels can be drawn between what the LCB is working towards and L Corp.'s critical Seed of Light Project, such as the language used regarding "planting" and growing a sapling with the Golden Boughs.[18]

The Headquarters Limbus Company has a headquarters whose location is top secret.[19] It appears to be a large, well-staffed building with multiple different floors acting as sectors for individual departments.[20] The section of the HQ dedicated to the LCE, the only branch visited by the Sinners so far, has been shown to house a broadcast sector, storage, security unit, laboratory, and containment units.[21] The containment units hold Abnormalities, Distortions, and Peccatula to be studied by the researchers.[22]

The LCA

LCA personnel with Faust as she recruits Vergilius and Charon. The LCA Department is considered the most influential department in Limbus Company.[23] While Faust refers to it as the special operations unit, Dante's Notes states that said unit is only a part of the larger LCA.[23] The members of this unit dress in black full-body suits and speak in a particularly firm, report-like manner.[24] Dante describes the LCA as "like they're from a completely different company", and notes that they feel considerably out of place compared to the other departments.[24]

The LCA is first seen accompanying Faust at the end of Leviathan, where they blow open a wall in order to access Vergilius.[25] The team is later mentioned by the Color Fixer in Canto V, where he informs the Sinners that if they fail to escape the Pallid Whale, the LCA will blow them up along with it, before an unclarified "very lengthy battle" ensues.[26] This carries the implication that the LCA has a combative role within the company. However, Intervallo III leans more into the idea that the LCA works with the LCD in order to secure Monoliths and distorted individuals,[24] which is also what Dante interprets their role as.[23]

An "R&D Team" of the LCA is also mentioned in the flavor text of the Identity and E.G.O Takeoff Modules, where they are stated to be the developers of these materials. The 3rd Anniversary Nominable Identity Ticket additionally mentions an LCA Mirror World Observatorium Department.

The LCA also contains a vanguard made up of by the Udjat, made to handle what of Limbus Company's problems can be solved by force.[27] It is split into a number of different teams.

Known LCA Members LCA Udjat Vanguard Jamila Story Icon.png Jamila Team 1 Leader The LCB The Limbus Company Bus Department, or LCB, is the department primarily tasked with finding and retrieving the Golden Boughs.[28] Given the company's larger interest in branding itself a Distortion management service,[1] the LCB tends also to take on Distortion suppression requests as a secondary duty.[29] This LCB is named after their mode of transportation, the bus Mephistopheles built by Faust specifically for their department.

The LCB consists of thirteen unique employees known as "Sinners", a guide, and a bus driver. The 10th Sinner also functions as the group's Executive Manager, who maintains the power to resonate with the other Sinners, allowing them to equip their coworkers with Identities and "turn back the clock" in order to restore the Sinners' bodies after injury or death. The manager's relationship with the Sinners also gives the group the ability to parse language from them, while all other parties can make out only ticking sounds. Despite Dante's managerial position, both Faust, Sinner no. 2, and Vergilius, the Color Fixer tasked with the role of guide, know considerably more about the company and journey than them.

Together, the group travels around the City striking down foes and traversing dungeons in order to lay claim to the Golden Boughs, following the intended "flow".[30] In between missions, and occasionally during, the LCB tends to pick up contracts from outside parties related to Distortions or the Bough expedition.

Yi Sang within minutes of meeting Faust. The Sinners and Vergilius appear to have been picked out by Faust, or the higher-ups at Limbus Company, beforehand. In Leviathan's Final Book, Vergilius is described as having been successfully "found" by the LCA, and Faust similarly states that she had been "waiting" for Yi Sang upon their first meeting. According to her, the reasons for the company's Sinner recruitment are confidential, but nonetheless related to the LCB's destinations throughout their journey.[31] At one point, Sinclair makes the accusation that it's specifically so the Sinners can act as "sensors for the Boughs".[32] At another point, Gregor points out that the company must have looked extensively into their backgrounds,[8] given that the contract clauses tended to offer the LCB members exactly what they were most desperate for at specific, low points in their lives. These clauses made Faust confident that each of the Sinners would join Limbus Company,[33] which she was ultimately correct about.

The Sinners were all recruited by either Vergilius and/or Faust, often at opportune moments. The Sinner portraits seen in the Theater depict the Sinners just after their recruitment into the company, most obviously through Yi Sang's, where he has yet to even dry off from the rain Faust had found him in. So far, Vergilius, Yi Sang, Hong Lu and Ryōshū, have been confirmed to have been recruited by Faust, while Don Quixote was taken in by Vergilius. Rodion and Gregor are also implied to have been approached and recruited by Vergilius rather than Faust.[34]

Before their onboarding into the company, the Sinners were also presented with the opportunity to take on an alias.[35] This offer was accepted by multiple Sinners, through both calculated and accidental means.

Contracts Members of Limbus Company's LCB Department were made to sign contracts upon joining the company. These contracts contained a number of different clauses, such a one which prevents resignation,[36] another which requires the Sinners to abide by the manager's orders,[37] and another which stipulates that they seek out the Golden Boughs.[38] While Vergilius also signed a contract, his contained unique clauses and conditions that the Sinners' lacked, preventing him from retrieving the Golden Boughs himself or providing direct support to the group.[39] There appear to be punishments for purposefully breaking contract clauses, as breaching his contract resulted in Vergilius not getting everything he had wanted out of it and later required that he help the LCC out with some "business" during Nocturnal Sweeping.[40][41] Unlike the others, there is no implication that Charon signed a contract before joining. Similarly, while Faust offers Dante a promise in the prologue (a proponent of the contracts), there is never any mention of them having signed something.

Each of the LCB's contracts contained one special clause with details tailored to each Sinner, meant to motivate them to join the company. This clause promised to make a certain desire of theirs come to life, no matter how impossible.[42] At one point, Vergilius confirms that this is guaranteed to occur so long as the Sinners continue on their journey with Dante.[43] Ishmael states during Canto V: The Evil Defining that this clause had come true four times by then, potentially indicating that Gregor, Rodion, Sinclair, and Yi Sang all had their wishes fulfilled during their respective Cantos.[43] Additionally, despite her unique position in the company, it's implied that Faust had also signed a contract in exchange for a wish.[42][44]

While Faust states that company rules "forbid disclosing the contents of the job contract in detail", a few of the group's wishes have thus far been alluded to or confirmed outright:

Proposed by Dante[51] Dante Story Icon.png Dante To get their aspect carved at the end of all of their missions. Confirmed[52][53] The LCC The Limbus Company Clearance Department, or LCC, is a special forces unit tasked with helping the LCB retrieve the Golden Boughs.[54] It is considered proficient in performing espionage operations, consisting of professionals and veterans.[55] The department's name is derived from their role in helping "clear" things up and out for the Sinners, and is split into two distinct teams.

The LCCA The After Team, or LCCA, is the unit tasked with cleaning up after the LCB's various excursions. This includes taking items of interest,[56] Golden Boughs,[57] and Abnormalities to the company headquarters,[58] using regenerative means like HP ampules to treat Dante's major injuries,[59] and helping the Sinners recover from psychological corruption.[60] Its members appear to have an exceptionally poor view of the LCB.

The LCCA has a number of different teams, including Normal Operations and Special Operations.[58]

Known LCCA Members Normal Operations Caiman Story Icon.png Caiman Unit 2 Team Leader The LCCB The Before Team, or LCCB, is the unit tasked with the scouting and preparation work that takes place before the Sinners arrive at a scene.[61] This involves performing reconnaissance and intelligence tasks concerning the LCB's destinations, preliminary surveys, and coming up with advance plans for Golden Bough retrieval.[62] My Form Empties' Observation Log suggests that they may also identify and observe Abnormalities prior to the LCB's encounters with them.[58]

The LCCB has a number of different teams, including Preliminary Observation, which is said to have five sections in and of itself.[63] The Preliminary Observation of the Before Team staff are remarked to receive little pay and be treated as expendables by the company.[61]

Known LCCB Members Preliminary Observation Effie Story Icon.png Saude Story Icon.png Pilot Story Icon.png Effie Unit 3 Assistant Manager (formerly) Saude Unit 3 Manager (promoted; currently on leave)[64] Pilot Unit 3 Assistant Manager The LCD The Limbus Company Distortion Department, or LCD, is a small department housing consultant Fixers which specializes in matters regarding the Distortion Phenomenon.[65] This includes Monoliths and previously-distorted individuals.[24] The LCD Department was created as a result of the company's interest in making a name for itself in all things Distortion, and meant to expand Limbus Company's business.[66]

The LCD appears to contain a number of different teams, including the On-site Investigative Reasoning Team, which Moses leads. Additionally, Ezra refers to herself as "LCD Distortion Task Force Ezra", suggesting that may be another team within the LCD.

They involve themselves with the study and classification of captured Abnormalities, Distortions, and Peccatula, along with E.G.O extraction and the workings of the Monolith. The team is stationed within Limbus Company's headquarters, and a portion of the LCE staff wear extracted E.G.O Gear on the regular.[67]

The team functions similarly to Lobotomy Corporation, containing and handling Abnormalities, producing Enkephalin and E.G.O from them, and combating the creatures whenever containment breaches occur. However, it prioritizes research over energy generation,[68] and the department's E.G.O Gear takes a slightly different form than that of L Corp.'s. Specifically, their E.G.O Gear "exhibits more of each source Abnormalities' idiosyncracies” as a result of the company’s alternative extraction method.[67]

Yi Sang (Hangul: 이상, i-sang) is designated Sinner #1 of Limbus Company's LCB department.

Yi Sang is a cryptic and mellow man with a lot of thoughtfulness to him. He was a researcher and architect previously affiliated with the League of Nine Littérateurs, having invented the Mirror as a T Corp. researcher prior to joining Limbus Company.

He is the focus character of Canto IV: The Unchanging.

Contents 1 Appearance 2 Personality 3 Mirror Worlds 4 Trivia 5 External Links 6 References 7 Navigation Appearance 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. He is confirmed to be left handed. 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.

Personality 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.

In Canto IV: The Unchanging, more is revealed about Yi Sang little by little, such as his extremely low self-esteem and suicidal thoughts. After his initial confrontation with Dongbaek, Yi Sang confesses that he considered the day he met Dante and gained immortality against his will to be his greatest moment of despair, as he instead quietly wished for his own eternal rest. Following this interaction, Dante resonates with Yi Sang's mental state, where they see Yi Sang with a large, cracked void in his chest with no signs of mending. It comes to light that the disbanding of the League of Nine Littérateurs, which had provided him with comfort and safety amidst the chaos of the world, had ultimately left him grief-stricken, hopeless, and alone. In his depressive state, Yi Sang was the type to grow slothful, finding it easier to go along with what other people wanted of him rather than deciding for himself.

He also displays a strong sense of morality for a City citizen, disgusted at Dongrang's callous behavior concerning the death of his fellow K Corp. employees and saddened by the Wings' exploitations of their people. Later, he is similarly upset to see Aseah utilizing his Mirror Technology to experiment on humans. Here, Yi Sang is unsettled by N Corp.'s unethical use of his discoveries and the group's plans to manipulate Nelly and Catherine into the creation of the laboratory, believing the resulting experiments to be too high a price when compared to any human life.

By coming to terms with his own past and a newly found sense of hope, he becomes much warmer and open towards Dante and the rest of the Sinners post-Canto IV. Although not as outspoken as Sinclair, Yi Sang tends to encourage kindness and mercy where possible, and often brings up his own regrets over losing his colleagues to advocate against conflict.

Despite Yi Sang's position as a genius, he's also proved himself to be rather socially awkward and naive. He is often distracted by things he finds intriguing, fails to understand jabs, and takes things literally. One case appears in Canto VI: The Heartbreaking: after mentioning the odd circumstances around the mission, Ishmael and Hong Lu jokingly accuse him of making fun of Heathcliff and the love letter he received, whereas Yi Sang earnestly and panickingly clarifies he didn't mean to insult his fellow Sinner. In general, Yi Sang has come to show much more of himself with time, including quirks and flaws. However, the wider range of his personality just goes to show that Yi Sang is in a much healthier place than he once was, as he is now determined to live moving forward alongside a new set of companions.

Trivia Yi Sang's character icon represents a sheet of paper containing a wing made of shattered glass, referencing Yi Sang's scholarly passions and his love for research, as well as the culmination of the latter, his discovery of the Mirror. Yi Sang is represented by the "🪶" Emoji.[4] Yi Sang's particulars are listed as "ruminating",[5] while his associated color is #d4e1e8, Dreamy Gray.[6] Yi Sang (Hangul: 이상, isang; Hanja: 李箱) was the pen name and sobriquet of 20th century Korean poet, novelist and essayist Kim Hae-Gyeong (Hangul: 김해경, Hanja: 金海卿). Yi Sang is based on the main character of one of Kim's masterpieces, The Wings, and takes inspiration from some points of the author's own life. The Wings is a short novel written from a first-person point of view, with its narrator being a nameless man, profoundly alienated from society. The narrator shares a small apartment with his wife, Yeonsim, the only person he interacts with, and he spends most of his days in a lightless room, entertaining himself with his wife's mirror and admiring her colorful room. One day, after daring leave the house, the narrator gets a cold and falls sick, leading Yeonsim to instruct him to take aspirin every day; the narrator later learns she had been feeding him sleeping pills, keeping him confined in his room day and night. Having fled the apartment and found himself devoid of any desire for life, the narrator aimlessly wanders the streets of the town, understanding his lack of wings, but still wishing to fly. The plot of The Wings is heavily reprised in Yi Sang's backstory, with Sang Yi and Gubo assuming a similar role to that of Yeonsim in the novel. Kim Hae-Gyeong's work focused on the human psyche and the struggle to reconcile with the reality of the modern era, weaving autobiographical elements through complicated riddles and odd expressions, and often referencing violent subject matters such as suicide and the Japanese colonial violence Kim witnessed throughout his lifetime. This is referenced in Yi Sang's manner of speech and his background in S Corp., a District that takes inspiration from Joseon-era Korea and that has recently entered the area of influence of the Kurokumo Clan, a Syndicate with clear Japanese inspirations. Kim Hae-Gyeong was a member of the Guinhoe, or League of Nine, a literary organization formed to pursue artistic freedom, born with anti-imperialist sentiments, whose members fell apart with time due to political disagreements. The Guinhoe directly inspires the League of Nine Yi Sang was a member of. Yi Sang's profession as an architect is also inspired by Kim Hae-Gyeong, who majored in architecture with honors. His graduation photobook is the first known use of the pen name Yi Sang. Yi Sang's introduction quote is the famous opening line of The Wings. The line introduces the main theme of the novel, the idea of a genius whose life has since drained, but who yet retains its shape as a living being. The concept sources the events of Yi Sang's story as seen in Limbus Company. The pseudonym itself, "isang" (이상), is a Sino-Korean word derived from several Chinese words, producing homonyms with different meanings depending on origin. This can be seen through Yi Sang making multiple puns based on his name in Limbus Company's main story as well as his Identity Stories and Voicelines. Yi Sang's wordplay over his name as seen in game include: (Hanja 異常, Hangul 이상, isang): "strange, abnormal, odd, weird, bizarre" (Hanja 理想, Hangul 이상, isang): "ideal", which is used in the currency that is received in Extraction. (Hanja: 以上, Hangul: 이상, isang): "aforementioned", or "that's it", used at the end of a sentence to indicate that there is nothing further to add. This references the pun used in Poem No. 4 of Yi Sang's "Crow's Eye View" in conjunction with his pen name: in the context of the poem, Kim Hae-Gyeong's pen name is diegetically a treated as the fictional character, Doctor 'Yi Sang' (이 상, 李 箱), separate from he himself — and as the word 'above-mentioned', isang (이상, 以上). All the aforementioned puns are utilized in the lyrics of Fly, My Wings, Yi Sang's Canto's associated song. Like all of the Sinners, Yi Sang voiced a "Document Excerpt" Youtube short. Unlike most Sinners, Yi Sang's subtitle, 하융 ("Ha Yung"), is not seen emblazoned onto his main weapon, his dagger. Rather, '하융' is instead written on the bag he keeps his notebook in, as seen in his base E.G.O. "Ha Yung" (Hangul: 하융, Hanja: 河戎) is the alias that the real-life poet and author Yi Sang had used as a painter. The Sinner Yi Sang may have used this alias at one point as well, as Gubo addresses him as Ha Yung in Canto VIII.

Yi Sang's original promo art Yi Sang's main weapon is a saingeom: its name, 'Four-Tiger Sword', comes from the folk belief of such weapons being forged during the Year, Month, Day, and Hour of the Tiger. Saingeom were Joseon-era swords used for ceremonial purposes and exorcism in West Korea. The blade was decorated with 28 constellations representing the 28 Mansions of the East Asian zodiac to represent the four directions. Yi Sang's age appeared listed as 29 in the Dante's Notes UI, before it was censored. As Yi Sang's birthday is January 1st, it is unknown if this referred to his current age, therefore making him 29 during his first appearance, or to his age at the time of his recruitment, therefore making him 30 at the start of the game. Yi Sang's voice actor, Min Seung-woo, previously voiced both Emma and Anton in Library of Ruina. 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. Yi Sang's associated meal was Kimchi Jeyuk Ssambap.[7] Originally, the name written on his coat in his talking sprites was "Lee Sang", the most common romanization of his surname '이', rather than "Yi Sang", the English spelling most often used in reference to the historical author he's based on, along with being what is written on his coat in his promo art. The spelling was ultimately corrected in a later update. Yi Sang's first promotional poster featured the line: "I do not have the mirror now but the me inside-the-mirror is in it", "I do not know but he is probably obsessed with his lefty work" translated by Jack Jung (정새벽). This caused the translator above to accuse Project Moon of plagiarism on Twitter, leading to the deletion and edit of Yi Sang's promo art to remove the translation. Project Moon later issued an apology towards the translator. The promo art also featured an image of Capri-Sun in one of the mirror reflections. This was also removed upon the edited re-release of Yi Sang's new promo art.

Stupid Faust (Hangul: 멍청한 파우스트, meong-cheong-han pa-u-seu-teu) is a former administrator of the Gesellschaft and designated Faust #57UP1d. She was previously referred to as Naive Faust and ■■■■■■ Faust.

Stupid Faust is an inobservant Faust with a bothersome know-it-all attitude. She was the first Sinner to be affiliated with Limbus Company, having spent the time leading up to its formation recruiting its members and developing Mephistopheles, against all recognizable odds.

She will be the focus Faust of all foreseeable Classical Walpurgisnachts.

Contents 1 Appearance 2 Personality 3 Mirror Worlds 4 Background 5 Former Gesellschaft Inquiries 6 Trivia 7 External Links 8 References 9 Navigation Appearance Among all Fausts, Stupid Faust fails to stand out visually. She is exceedingly standard in all regards besides her outfit.

Stupid Faust 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. Stupid Faust's uniform has been deemed "serviceable" per Fashionable and Snipping Faust's criteria, saving it of further scrutiny from Gesellschaft rules.

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.

Personality Stupid Faust is, when allowed to be, a talkative Faust. She is known to have a tendency to leech on the information provided via the Gesellschaft, which has garnered her an immense amount of deserved scrutiny. Despite her inability to provide beneficial information of her own, she is given specific privileges due to her past role as an administrator Faust, as well as her verifiable assistance in the acquisition of the Golden Boughs. However, it is important to remember that Stupid Faust has harmed the overall network and is difficult to trust - because of this, it is recommended to frequently admonish her in accordance with the "Humble a Faust" project, established in ■■-■■-98■.

Among all living Fausts within the Gesellschaft, Stupid Faust has provided a unique outlook on matters, primarily due to her several demotions. Due to these demotions, it would be valid to consider a cornerstone of her personality as 'unique', something uncommon among the overall body of the Gesellschaft.

[Included below is the documentation on Stupid Faust provided by the upper management of Limbus Company. It has been accessed and retained in its most essential form as a point of reference.]

[Editor Faust update 04-■■-985: Faust believes it to be of utmost importance to recognize incorrect statements within the Limbus Company documentation of Stupid Faust. Recognizing this, Faust has taken it upon herself to include references to incorrect facts. It is likewise recommended to praise Editor Faust for her efforts, which can be done between the hours of ■■■■ and ■■■■ while Faust is located within her office.]

[Diligent and Observant Faust update 04-■■-985: Editor Faust's permissions have been revoked from this document.]

Faust is a talkative, albeit soft-spoken, Sinner with a condescending manner of speech and ineffably high confidence in her intelligence [False; the Gesellschaft's intelligence]. Despite technically being Dante's subordinate, she often takes the role of their informant and overseer, as she is privy [False; recognition should be aimed towards the Gesellschaft] to considerably more information than her fellow Sinners. Because of this, she has a consistent and unwavering faith in her abilities, and does not show any signs of panic even in troublesome situations throughout the first six Cantos. While her expanse of knowledge always proves helpful for the LCB [Debatable], her egotistical attitude can be excessive [True]. At times, she is outright and unnecessarily contemptuous towards others' inability to keep up with her pace, most frequently Heathcliff, [despite being dumber then him]as she appears to lack understanding for those who do not meet "Faust"'s high standards of intelligence. This gives several of the other Sinners moments to criticize her harshness, though she remains steely and steadfast in her ideas, dismissing criticism of her attacks of others.

As one of the more inactive Sinners, Faust frequently prefers to stand back and watch events unfold, often lacking in information she's permitted to indulge, though displaying the fact of lacking knowledge as a place of false certainty. She is kept under the control of the Gesellschaft, a communication network with the Fausts of other Mirror Worlds [True], which dictates how and when she is allowed to share or access knowledge, among other things. Her inability to access the Gesellschaft connection during Murder on the WARP Express is the first show of vulnerability in Faust, who grows more timid and uncertain as a result [True; this event was referred to as our "vacation" in retrospect]. In the face of such hardship, Faust grows self conscious and remains intent on maintaining an indestructible image, even despite her coworkers appreciating the new, more agreeable side of her. Still, she would come to realize the difficulty and uncertainty of a life without Gesellschaft through this event, leaving her with some newfound empathy for those who lack the knowledge she carries [Ideally applied to her interactions within the Geellschaft network, which remains to be seen].

The Intervallo also makes it clear that, by referring to herself in third-person, she is not always referring to herself, but perhaps another "Faust" [True]. As Dante finds, many of her statements come off as considerably less haughty with the knowledge that she is not necessarily referring to herself as an individual [True]. Although she can be strict and dismissive with the other Sinners, this seems to be primarily a result of approaching matters with a strictly logical perspective, rather than any form of ill will, though she will occasionally utilize teaching moments as places to condescend the other party. Her competitive and dismissive relationship with Hohenheim, by comparison, makes it clear that Faust's usual attitude isn't a product of hostility, but rather a constant search towards the factual that butts heads with others doing similar. This also demonstrates that even she is prone to bouts of pettiness [HIGHLY true]; Faust appears to possess many traits and interests that don't benefit the LCB's objectives, such as a love of engineering expanded beyond the creation and maintenance of Mephistopheles. Furthermore, as her relationship with the Gesellschaft is expanded on, there grows an implication that Faust's arrogance is at least in part a result of her trying to compensate for the bullying and degradation she faces for being considered a failure among her peers [Incorrect; the Gesellschaft is purely just in its treatment of Stupid Faust (citation pending)]. The frequent condescension is tied to the innate intelligence of Faust and her Mirror World peers, acting as a defense of character rather than an ontological truth to be conveyed.

Faust has been moderately less secretive about her situation following the incident on the WARP Train, and more understanding of the Sinners' personal wishes and inquiries [True; perhaps she has room to grow in her treatment of others?]. Additionally, she appears to have grown more comfortable confiding in Dante about her situation. Although still a know-it-all, Faust now comes off as a bit awkward and self-conscious, painting a more human image of her. Rather than solely using her moments of fact as a place to speak down to the other Sinners, she will sometimes choose to utilize them for learning opportunities, for both herself and others.

[Editor Faust believes it may be deemed beneficial to reconsider treatment of Stupid Faust, if the situation proves beneficial for both parties.]

Mirror Worlds Due to the efforts of one S Corp. inventor present on the LCB staff, Stupid Faust is able to utilize the capabilities of "Identities" — giving her temporary access to alternative Mirror World Faust's abilities. All known connected "Identities" should be listed and briefly analyzed per Gesellschaft Documentation Update Code 022023MW.

Quiet Faust Has failed to speak during any attended Gesellschaft Walpurgisnachts. When prompted for information outside Walpurgisnachts, has provided primarily outdated or inobservant information. Frequently seen speaking to nobody in particular (described by Bloody Faust as 'generally creepy and bothersome'). Fanatical Faust Expresses extreme unprompted opinions, primarily during brief moments of pause within discussions. It is recommended to discuss her excessive use of screen time. [NOTE: Due to prior one-sided confrontations, Fanatical Faust should not be allowed into spaces where Meticulous and Well-armed Faust is simultaneously present.] Dignified and Considerate Faust Provides excellent tea, suited to the tastes of individual Fausts of the Gesellschaft. Patient when dealing with troublemaker Fausts. Possible candidate for future Faust promotion. Meticulous and Well-armed Faust Provides extensive information regarding prosthetics. Provides extensive unprompted information regarding prosthetics. Valuable asset in situations addressing Bloodfiend-associated Fausts. Explosive Faust While a valuable asset to the information network within the Gesellschaft, poses a physical threat to other Fausts. Exploded. Renamed postmortem to Explosive Faust. [Excised Faust] Argumentative Faust Contact terminated due to Faust choosing to "only follow heed of [her] master". [Excised Faust] Blinded Faust Contact terminated due to Faust refusing to remove her blindfold. Continues to access Gesellschaft without permission. Suggestions linger to remove Faust's access when possible. Loud and Smashing Faust Speaks of "regret", a possible foolish Faust? A highly repetitive questioner due to her inability to independently recognize Lobotomy Corporation’s use of TimeTrack’s Singularity. Difficult to understand audibly; muffled. Banned from accessing the Gesellschaft while in a state of E.G.O Corrosion following the DLFST-06 incident. Blue Faust? [NAME SUGGESTION PER 'Honest, Gentle and Communicative Faust'] Difficult to contact due to interdimensional connection instability. Exceedingly plain. Requires a new designation. Stalwart and Protecting Faust Prone to forming or desiring unnecessary connections. Demonstrates commendable time-management and observational skills. Provides little information of value. Logical, Bohemian and Shrewd Faust Keen-eyed and quick to ensure that other attending Fausts are at their most presentable (Clumsy and Tongue-tied Faust noted having been told to correct her posture by her on several occasions). Provides excellent tea comparable only to the work of Dignified and Considerate Faust. Quick to offer detailed tea recommendations regardless of the subject at hand. Not recommended to allow for one-on-one discussion between her and Dignified and Considerate Faust. Possible candidate for future Faust promotion. Drifting and Slicing Faust Frequently attempts to call for Walpurgisnachts at inopportune times of night. Speaks of “home”, an unneeded and fruitless concept for Faust. Documented as having hesitated before declining the opportunity to engage in alcoholic beverages with her Syndicate associates on multiple occasions. Acquisitive Faust Demonstrates questionable interest in the ranks of dead Fausts. Often detached and lost in thought. Does not engage in discussion with other Fausts without a hidden motive. Thrill-obsessed Faust, who appears to have lost a monetary bet to this Faust, continues to work to evade her attempts at conversation. Levelheaded Faust Only speaks when spoken to. Contributes greatly to Moonlight Stone research. Possesses some distaste toward tea—a sign of a defect? Background Stupid Faust, prior to her demotion to 'Naive Faust', was an administrator of the Gesellschaft; following her demotion, she was deemed by Rational and Brilliant Faust as "the greatest blight on the organization's management board" (citation pending).

Despite her excessive reliance on Gesellschaft as a primary source of information, she provided enough work in her role as an administrator Faust to remain on the board of directors. However, instances of ■■■■■■■■ ■■■■, ■■■■■■ and ■■■■ dictated that ■■■■■ ■■■■■■■ ■■■■ and ■■■■■■■■, leading to the inevitable decision that ■■■■ Faust must be demoted.

Given Stupid Faust's obvious disinterest in assisting the Gesellschaft with Faust's goals, she has been considered a possible new entry to the ranks of dead Fausts. However, it has been considered beneficial to both parties to delay this due to her uncanny ability to acquire the Golden Boughs necessary for the overall organization's goals.

Former Gesellschaft Inquiries For more information, see Gesellschaft.

As the primary resource which Stupid Faust has used to acquire necessary information, Faust has taken the liberty of documenting the most humorous of Stupid Faust's attempts to garner information, primarily for future mockery, if so desired. To avoid unnecessary Walpurgisnachts, Stupid Faust has been given a monitored "Gesellschaft On-the-Go" device, allowing for the documentation of superfluous searches.

Trivia Stupid Faust has made a total of two hundred twenty-seven thousand and thirteen inquiries into the Gesellschaft information network. Of these inquiries, roughly forty-six percent were deemed superfluous. Stupid 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. Stupid Faust is represented by the 👻 emoji,[2] referencing her inability to hold a captivating discussion. Stupid Faust's particulars are listed as "insufferable" (corroborated) and "chronic lassitude" (likewise corroborated)[3] while her associated color is #ffb1b4, Cerebral Pink.[4] Stupid 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). Stupid 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. [Diligent and Observant Faust update 04-■■-985: Faust is unsure where these details originate from, having zero standing in any accessible Mirror Worlds. Despite the unnerving nature of the details, Diligent and Observant Faust has been informed to allow the information to remain. Research efforts into who, or what, "Goethe" is should be the primary discussion of the next Classical Walpurgisnacht.] Stupid 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. Stupid 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, Stupid Faust voiced a "Document Excerpt" Youtube short. This is to show that she is not particularly unique, even among her lesser peers. 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. Stupid Faust's associated meal was Bratwurst.[5] Chef de Partie Faust has accepted this meal as "...high-quality, despite her standing", speaking for the Gesellschaft's overall acceptance of the dish. Stupid 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. This was due to a temporary "Faust Consciousness Transfer" done against the Gesellschaft's permission, causing Stupid Faust to have been temporarily replaced by Slightly-Lower-Pitch Faust. 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 every 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).

Don Quixote (Hangul: 돈키호테, don-ki-ho-te) is designated Sinner #3 of Limbus Company's LCB department.

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.

She is the focus character of Canto VII: The Dream Ending.

Contents 1 Appearance 2 Personality 3 Mirror Worlds 4 Rocinante 5 Trivia 6 External Links 7 References 8 Navigation Appearance 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.

In her Bloodfiend form, Don Quixote has bright red eyes, and her hair is noticeably wavier, swept to the side. In her time as Sancho, Don Quixote was seen wearing a light gray outfit reminiscent of a military uniform, with a darker coat on top and a red fur boa worn over her shoulder that reached down to her knees. Currently, her Bloodfiend form wears an altered version of her Limbus Company uniform, which bears the same red fur boa from her past, covers the coattails in hardened blood, seemingly conceals or outright removes all of her Fixer decorations, and leaves her barefoot due to Rocinante's removal.

Personality 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.

Don Quixote has an intense sense of justice and desire to protect the weak. She cannot stand to watch idly as innocents are harmed, and her desire to protect children is particularly strong. While this benevolent attitude is a respectable rarity in the City, it proves to be troublesome when paired with Don Quixote's high levels of impulsivity. More often than not, this determination to shield others from harm only serves to cause trouble for the people around her. Intervening during the separation of parent and child as the LCB's attempted to enter into K Corp.'s Nest led the Sinners to fight several unnecessary battles against the Wing's feathers in Canto III, just as engaging in a duel against a Cinq Fixer in Canto VII to convince him to rescue citizens ends up a bloody, fruitless cause. However, a reprimanding from Vergilius after the K Corp. incident did lead to improved behavior from Don Quixote, as she began to learn to think before she acts.

The passionate spirit defining of Don Quixote's character originates from her great love of Fixers. Although Fixers are little more than contracted help, Don Quixote views them as the City's altruistic heroes of justice, and yearns to be one herself. By playing the part of the people's knight in shining armor, Don Quixote believes herself to be living up to a worthy Fixer's example. She particularly idolizes famous Fixers such as Siegfried, Vergilius, and the Red Mist, but has a great deal of love for each and every one of them, enough to gush over the likes of Nelly or the Molar Office. Although Don Quixote lacks a lot of general knowledge of the City's workings, she is utterly unmatched when it comes to Fixer-related wisdom.

At times, Don Quixote's love for Fixers and want to be like them are at odds with each other. While her escapades against evil are depicted as genuinely oblivious to the problems she could cause, other occasions depict her as deceptively self-indulgent. Intervallo III: Miracle in District 20, for example, sees her endanger the LCB's lives so that she might get a chance to meet the "Red Sack", all while suggesting the mission is actually for Heathcliff's sake.[4] Additionally, her rambunctious attitude often earns her disapproval from those around her, who view Don Quixote as unrealistic and immature. Nonetheless, Don Quixote is scarcely portrayed as having ill intentions. Rather, she tends to come off as cheeky and adventure-driven, wishing the best for everyone, including herself.

Yet, Canto VII shows that there is much more to Don Quixote than her quirky, chivalrous self.

As Sancho Sancho lived an entirely different life, that of an impassive Bloodfiend, prior to wiping her memories and eventually joining Limbus Company as "Don Quixote". As a result, she possessed a drastically different personality.

Sancho was an all-around detached individual. She harbored a deadpan, pessimistic attitude that establishes her as antisocial and stubborn, in contrast to the excited personalities of her Family members. She lived and spoke as she pleased, with little concern for matters like Bloodfiend hierarchy or social etiquette. While occasionally prone to perkiness, Sancho was always quick to swallow these emotions down, considering it embarrassing.

Despite her apathetic exterior, however, Sancho was at times disposed to stronger emotions, such as a great passion for Fixers and love for her Father. Rather than being incapable of intense feelings, Sancho is more accurately described as dishonest with herself and others, possessing an inexplicable need to disguise her joys and tenderness under layers of apathy. She is also shown to be prone to bouts of depression: having originally met Don Quixote after a failed suicide attempt, and later choosing to erase her entire "self" after the tragedy of La Manchaland.

Sancho's feelings towards other people are at times unclear, as she held strained relationships with her Family members Dulcinea, the Barber, the Priest, and Cassetti. However, she cared deeply for her Father, and grew to love her fellow Sinners enough to refer to them as her new "family". Rather, it's suggested that Sancho was prone to difficulty communicating with and reading others, leading to her mistakenly coming off as condescending and arrogant, and resulting in strained relationships with the Bloodfiends unable to forgive her icy attitude.

Canto VII: The Dream Ending sees Sancho decide to swallow her shame and accept her deep love of Fixers and justice, henceforth continuing to play the role as Don Quixote, Sinner no.3. Post-Canto, Don Quixote is as excited and nonsensical as ever, however now capable of proper conversations and deductions underneath the playful manner of speaking. Her Battle Announcer also depicts her acknowledging the ridiculousness of her persona at times, while her Four-hundred Roses Observation Log demonstrates that "Sancho" still appears to be her default personality and thought process, but one which she is embarrassed to present to the other Sinners. With the LCB, Sancho—again known as Don Quixote—holds onto the memories of what made her who she is, while embracing the life she loves yet long-denied herself the chance to experience.

She dons two outfits: in her base art, she wears the standard Collector outfit, with a monocle; in her Uptied art, she wears the standard Class 3 Collection Staff armor, as well as Rocinante, and wields the T Corp. Time Amputation weapon (a modified chainsaw), and the T Corp. Time Snare (a large straight pickaxe). She can be seen in her T Corp. Collection Staff Identity and appears in Rodion's T Corp. Staff Identity Story. World of the Cinq Association Eastern Branch In this world, Don Quixote is a Fixer from the Section 3 of Cinq Association's Eastern branch. She wears a black changshan decorated with the Cinq symbol, white pants, and a black jacket over her shoulders, as well as tinted glasses, a black hat, and Rocinante. In combat, she uses martial arts enhanced by a pyrojade bracelet on her right hand. She can be seen in her Cinq Association East Identity. World of Zwei Association Southern Branch In this world, Don Quixote is a Fixer from the Section 6 of Zwei Association's Southern Branch. She appears in civilian clothing, wearing a pale shirt underneath a brown vest, overlaid by a beige cardigan, and brown checkered pants, as well as a newsboy cap decorated with pins, some of which appear in her LCB Identity outfit. She appears in Sinclair's Zwei Association South Identity Story. Rocinante Shoes form Horse form Shoes form Rocinante was created by First Kindred Don Quixote out of a significant amount of his own blood,[5] using the impressive blood manipulation powers of a high-Kindred Bloodfiend. Rocinante's abilities suppress the characteristics of a Bloodfiend, such as their red eyes, allowing its wearer to live without the traits that separate their kind from humans. When placed on one's feet as a pair of shoes, Rocinante will strip a Bloodfiend of all defining characteristics other than their thirst for blood.[6]

It is partially suggested that Don Quixote originally created Rocinante for his personal use, to wear and live like a human when going on his Fixer adventures.[7][8] However, this idea is contradicted by his decision to reshape Rocinante into a horse, instead of simply wear them as shoes, to "appear and behave as humans do" on his and Sancho's adventure at the human village.[9]

While it is unclear how "alive" a Bloodfiend's blood-formed creation can be made to be, Rocinante is said to possess a will of its own both in the form of a living being and as shoes.[10][11] Additionally, one line from Sancho suggests there were points where Rocinante had even the power to speak.[12] This "will" may in part clarify why putting Rocinante back on at the end of Murder on the WARP Express once again wipes the LCB's Don Quixote of her memories, while putting them on at the end of Canto VII inexplicably allows her to retain her memories as Sancho; still, this may just be a simple lore contradiction, given that Don Quixote's memories were suppressed by the River of Oblivion and not Rocinante.

While First Kindred Don Quixote originally forced Rocinante onto Sancho's feet so that she'd get the chance to live as a human, away from La Manchaland, she ultimately chose to keep them on. The shoes now act as a chance for Sancho to live out her dream as Limbus Company's Don Quixote, though she hopes that one day she may be freed from her reliance on them.

Trivia Don Quixote's character icon represents a carousel horse prancing before a white star. The carousel horse references her home of La Manchaland and reprises the symbol embroidered on the side of Rocinante, as seen in her base E.G.O. Don Quixote is represented by the "🎠" emoji.[13] Don Quixote's particulars are listed as "over-passionate", "[REDACTED]", and "has delusions of grandeur",[14] while her associated color is #ffef23, Oblivion Yellow.[15] Don Quixote is named after the eponymous protagonist of Miguel de Cervantes's novel The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha. In it, an hidalgo, member of the lowest Spanish nobility, whose main past time is reading chivalric romances, loses his mind and decides to become a knight himself, under the name Don Quixote de La Mancha, pursuing the ideals of chivalry. Don Quixote, accompanied by a farm labourer who becomes his "squire", Sancho Panza, embarks on a series of travels across Spain in search of adventure. As the world Don Quixote lives in is no longer that of chivalric tales, it is up to his imagination to find quests worthy of a knight. In Canto VII, her true identity as Sancho is revealed, mirroring that of Sancho Panza, Don Quixote's squire. Much like Sancho as seen in Limbus Company, the literary Sancho begins as a down-to-earth character who doesn't share his master's delusion. Scholars note that throughout the course of the novel, Sancho begins believing in Don Quixote's tales, while Don Quixote slowly detaches himself from his delusions. This is reflected in their respective characters in Limbus Company. Don Quixote's introduction quote does not come from her book, instead referencing a line of the 1965 musical, "Man of La Mancha", an adaptation of Don Quixote. In the song "The Impossible Dream", after being questioned by the inn wench Aldonza (by him called "Dulcinea") regarding his wish to become a knight, Don Quixote describes his quest with the lyrics, "I'll always dream the impossible dream. Yes, and I'll reach the unreachable star." The song is further referenced through Don Quixote's lance: its name is "SUEÑO IMPOSIBLE", meaning "Impossible Dream" in Spanish. Like all of the Sinners, Don Quixote 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. Don Quixote's associated meal was Gambas al Ajillo.[16] In the Afternoon Greeting of her Index Proxy Identity she mentions wanting 'a dish of fresh shrimp and garlic', referencing this.[17] Don Quixote wears a metal name tag as opposed to the ID badge that the the majority of the other Sinners use, a trait she shares with Hong Lu and Outis. This is likely due to her real name being unknown to her at the time of recruitment, and the name "Don Quixote" only being officially passed on to her during the events of Canto VII. SUEÑO IMPOSIBLE is estimated to be 2.5 m / 8'2 ft long. One of Don Quixote's pins—specifically the one at waist level on her jacket—is the symbol of the Purple Tear. Despite not having been a Fixer at the time of her recruitment, Don Quixote filled out the Fixer Identification Number (FIN) section in her ID. It appears that unlike Ishmael, who is a Fixer, and whose FIN was written numerically and did not require censoring, Don Quixote wrote words in the section that were redacted together with the other information in the ID. Don Quixote has 863 dreams, one of which was to sail the Great Lake in U Corp.'s District.[18] This was fulfilled in Canto V. This specific number is a reference to the location Don Quixote can be found in Dewey Decimal Classification. Before the September 5th 2024 update, the text on the coat of Don Quixote's LCB Sinner sprites used to read "Miguel" rather than "Don Quixote", referencing the author of her original novel. Similarly, the text on her lance used to read "Soñar lo Imposible Soñar", literally meaning "Dreaming the Impossible Dreaming". This was also fixed in the September 5th 2024 update. Despite being added to the game in an update after this point, the special battle sprite used by Don Quixote after the scripted loss against Camille once again has "Soñar lo Imposible Soñar" written on her lance. However, her coat still appears to read "Don Quixote". Throughout Limbus Company's lifetime, Don Quixote has undergone a few notable changes, all of which are related to her Bloodfiend origin. The Passive of her La Sangre de Sancho E.G.O was changed from gaining Haste.pngHaste and Defense Power Down.pngDefense Power Down based on Lust Resonance, to recovering HP On Hit if the target has Bleed.pngBleed, the latter resembling the Passives of Bloodfiends and Bloodbags. Her interaction in the Rite of Suppuration event was changed to give Don Quixote a -100 Skill Check modifier, as she would not remove Rocinante from her feet.

Ryōshū (Hangul: 료슈, ryo-syu; Japanese: 良秀, りょうしゅう, ryōshū) is designated Sinner #4 of Limbus Company's LCB department.

Ryōshū is an ungovernable woman with a fascination in art that she uniquely defines, with little tolerance for what disinterests or offends her. She was previously affiliated with a group of powerful figures connected to the Five Fingers of the Backstreets known as the House of Spiders prior to joining Limbus Company.

She is the focus character of Canto IX: The Unsevering.

Contents 1 Appearance 2 Personality 3 Mirror Worlds 4 Background 5 SANGRIA 6 Trivia 7 External Links 8 References 9 Navigation Appearance 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, 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.[4] 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).

Personality Ryōshū has an individualistic, free-spirited, and somewhat sadistic personality. She maintains a hostile attitude with most everyone that she speaks to, feeling no obligation to uphold common courtesies like politeness or attentiveness. Even among the Sinners, she is strikingly unfriendly and forthright.

She is one of the least talkative members of the LCB, and does not maintain particularly respectful relationships with her coworkers. She labels herself as someone who dislikes butting in, and tends to scoff at the others for overthinking matters or sentimentality. Often, she sees the others as ignorant for not understanding "true artwork", which, for Ryōshū, typically involves gruesome murder.

When she does speak, she almost always includes a form of SANGRIA ("succinct abbreviation naturally germinates rather immaculate art"), an abbreviation of a sentence or phrase. She considers this to be most efficient, describing not using abbreviations as a waste of time, and growing irked whenever others misunderstand what she's saying. While she doesn't seem to care whether others "accept" her, Ryōshū's frustrations over her abbreviations going mistranslated or untranslated demonstrate that she dislikes being misinterpreted. Most often, Ryōshū speaks up in order to chime in about art or family.

Ryōshū's definition of art is not defined in any specific terms, but primarily takes the form of purposeful and creative violence, which she finds beautiful. Similarly, she has a distaste for crude, senseless violence, and holds a notable disdain for the Ring, despite their position as fellow bloodshed-based artists. Ryōshū also consistently works in the name of her own entertainment, committing actions that could be considered impulsive, or even to the detriment of the LCB, should she find it interesting. On the other hand, she grows frustrated and unhappy when bored. 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.

Although Ryōshū continues to come off as somewhat self-centered, encouraging Rodya to smile at the end of Intervallo IV: Timekilling Time shows that she is at times capable of paying heed to other people's feelings. This softer side of her personality also comes through on a more regular basis via her relationship with Sinclair, who is one of her most frequent conversation partners, and someone she is notably patient with. On certain occasions, Ryōshū will help clarify difficult acronyms for him, while on others, she will compliment him on his high level of understanding of her verbal intentions. During Intervallo VI: Spring Cultivation, her more attentive side comes to light even further, as Ryōshū's class for Sinclair and Xichun revolves around teaching them how to take care of children, with her commenting that unruly adults must be dealt with violently, but unruly children must be soothed and treated with care and attention. In this occasion, Ryōshū even stops smoking, commenting that she does not do it in front of children. Ryōshū is shown to greatly value these concepts, and during the Intervallo and the preceeding Canto both she remarks on the importance of the memories of one's childhood in shaping one's future.

Canto VIII: The Surrendered Witnessing also sees another side of her personality in a unique dynamic with Lei Heng. Around him, Ryōshū becomes genuinely anxious and furious, finding his presence to be highly distracting. This break in Ryōshū's usual manner demonstrates that even she fears the right kind of foe, and is capable of being provoked.

Background Ryōshū has been raised by the House of Spiders, an organization made up of high-ranking members of each of the Five Fingers, and her five Nursefathers: the Sottocapo of the Thumb Valencina, the Oracle's Proxy of the Index Rien, the Great Brother of the Middle Matthias, the Maestro of the Ring Callisto, and the Dihui Star of the Pinky, Shiomi Yoru. Ryōshū's entire life was controlled and shaped by the House, with the Prescripts choosing for her the name Yoshihide, and with the Nursefathers and other members of the Fingers training her in swordplay since her infancy, for the scope of creating a swordsman who could wield the Relic Arayashiki, Ryōshū's ōdachi. Arayashiki had a peculiar power: whenever it was used, it would erase a part of the wielder's memory, and if wielded perfectly, it was able to completely remove anything from existence.

Ryōshū spent her youth working as an assassin at the service of the House, killing at the request of her five Nursefathers, while continuing her training to become a perfect wielder for her sword.

During a mission at a laboratory of the Thumb, Ryōshū found a young child, who had been biologically engineered with the DNA of Ryōshū's Pinky Nursefather and Ryōshū's biological mother, the Dihui Star. The child introduced herself as Araya and began calling Ryōshū her mother and asking to be taken home with her, and Ryōshū decided to do so, raising Araya as her own. In time, as whenever she would use her sword she would lose memories of Araya, Ryōshū couldn't bear to live at the behest of the House of Spiders anymore, and she decided to free herself and Araya from their control. Before making her escape, Ryōshū instructed Araya to hide in a Time Vault, a small safe that made use of the T Corp. Singularity to make it so the flow of time inside was much slower than on the outside.

Once Araya was safely hidden, Ryōshū started to cut her way through the Nursefathers, making use of Arayashiki to cut Valencina's eye, Rien's face, Matthias's arm, Callisto's sword, and the Dihui Star's tongue. As the made use of her sword, her memories were sliced away, and she soon could no longer remember Araya's face and the time they'd spent together. Still, she held on to the knowledge of the hiding spot and of her purpose to return for Araya.

After having made her escape from the house, Ryōshū was found by Faust and invited to join Limbus Company, with Faust promising that if she did, she would be able to destroy the House of Spiders and reunite with Araya within two years, as opposed to the five she'd planned ahead for. Ryōshū accepted, taking on this new mission and changing her name from Yoshihide to "Ryōshū", as Araya would call her.

SANGRIA Ryōshū's SANGRIA (Korean: 만단지예, "Mandanjiye"; Japanese: 万短至芸, "Bantanshigei") work similarly to Japanese Yojijukugo or Korean Sajaseong-eo—idioms made up of no more than 4 characters each. However, rather than using the actual meanings of the characters to form compound words or idiomatic phrases, she is forming abbreviations using their literal pronunciation sounds. This is a list of all of the ones Ryōshū uses across the game.

As many of Ryōshū's acronyms are left vague within the text, not all of them can be translated with certainty. Here, "confirmed" refers to SANGRIA that are explicitly translated in-game; "highly likely" to easy solutions anyone could agree upon but go untranslated in-game; "presumption" to reasonable but untranslated solutions that have room for alternative interpretations; and "conjecture" to the best (but shaky) guesses for extremely difficult, low-context SANGRIA.

Literally Otiose, Needless, Empty Confirmed Identity Story N.S.F.P. Not Seeing the Full Picture Confirmed Identity Story Trivia Ryōshū's character icon represents a butterfly with ruined wings: a wing appears to be flaking, while the other is burning and bleeding. The text on the icon, "森羅炎象", translates to English as "Forest for the Flames" — the same name as Ryōshū's base E.G.O skill. Ryōshū is represented by the 🚬 emoji.[11] Ryōshū's particulars are listed as "has an aesthetic sense" and "chain-smoker",[12] while her associated color is #cf0000, Smoky Scarlet.[13] Ryōshū is based on the painter Yoshihide from the short story Hell Screen, by Japanese writer Ryūnosuke Akutagawa. In Hell Screen, Yoshihide is a painter commissioned by the Lord of Horikawa to create a folding screen depicting Buddhist hell. During the process, Yoshihide begins torturing his apprentices, to use their anguish as references of the scenes of hell which he plans to paint. To paint the final scene, Yoshihide asks the lord to set a beautiful woman on fire; the lord agrees, and unbeknown to the painter, he chooses Yoshihide's daughter as the victim. After watching his daughter burn to death, Yoshihide finishes the screen, then takes his own life. Hell Screen and Ryōshū's character both take heavy inspiration from Ebusshi Ryōshū, a Japanese folktale recorded in the Shūi Monogatari collection. In the folktale, an e-busshi (a Buddhist monk who specializes in making paintings for temples) called Ryōshū realizes his home is on fire and quickly escapes, leaving behind his wife, children, and his many paintings of Buddhas without a second thought. As he watches his house go down in flames, instead of being distraught over the loss of his family, he is elated by the fact this has given him inspiration to paint a proper depiction of Fudō Myōō. Ryōshū's introduction quote comes from an exchange in Hell Screen. In response to the Lord of Horikawa joking about Yoshihide's great ability and passion for painting repulsive subjects, the painter takes pride in the Lord's words, affirming only a great painter, such as him, is able to recognize the beauty in ugliness. Ryōshū is an alternative reading of the name Yoshihide. The choice to render the name in Hangul as 료슈 instead of 요시히데 and have this reflected in the English romanization was a decision made by Project Moon's writers and directors through consultation with their Japanese translator.[14] Ryōshū is the only Sinner whose signature differs from the text on her promo art/weapon, instead quoting the Mahāyāna Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra: "Impermanent indeed are all formations; their nature consists of arising and disappearing"[15] (Japanese: 諸行無常 是生滅法, shogyōmujō zeshōmeppō). Like all of the Sinners, Ryōshū 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. Ryōshū's associated meal was Oyakodon.[16] Ryōshū is the only Sinner that does not write Observation Logs. She does, however, add additional comments to other Sinners' logs. In the official Japanese translation of the game, Ryōshū refers to herself with the first person pronoun "ore" (俺). The pronoun is considered very masculine, being almost uniquely used by men, and generally impolite, suggesting a sense of superiority and emphasizing one's status. In Intervallo IV, Dante notes that Ryōshū never refers to anyone by their names. Although this is not the case for certain Mirror Worlds, and there are select main story exceptions, this is generally true. Instead, Ryōshū addresses others by crude nicknames, including: Character Nickname(s) Yi Sang "Poetaster" Faust "White hair" Don Quixote "D.Q." (Don Quixote) Hong Lu "Rich kid" Heathcliff "Whiny brat" Ishmael "Orange hair" Dante "Clock", "Clockhead", "C.H." (same as prior) Sinclair "Kid", "Kiddo", "champagne hair" Gregor "B.G." (bug guy), "C.F." (crawling furball), "old fart" Ryōshū owns a ukulele, likely stolen from Los Mariachis, which she plays in one of her Battle Announcer lines. Ryōshū's introduction text presents an inconsistency between the in-game version and the version present in the official Limbus Company website: the line in strikethrough text, regarding the red button in the Manager's welcome kit, is only present on the official website, and does not appear in in-game. Prior to the February 19th, 2026 update, the text on Ryōshū's scabbard after Canto IX: The Unsevering used a serif font rather than the calligraphic font currently used.

Meursault (Hangul: 뫼르소, mwe-reu-so) is designated Sinner #5 of Limbus Company's LCB department.

Meursault is a reserved and complacent man with a desire to be clearly communicated with. He was previously affiliated with N Corp., having tried and failed to form an opinion on their ideals prior to joining Limbus Company.

He will be the focus character of Canto X: The Gaze Bearing.

Contents 1 Appearance 2 Personality 3 Mirror Worlds 4 Background 5 Trivia 6 External Links 7 References 8 Navigation Appearance 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.

Personality 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.

He is noticeably emotionally distant, never emoting nor approaching matters from a non-logical standpoint. While he has a heightened awareness of the world around him, often noticing details others do not, he has trouble discerning which observations are worth sharing. This leads to situations wherein he either shares too much, such as reciting irrelevant emoticons while reading off an email in Canto IV: The Unchanging, or shares too little, as when he failed to report the sudden disappearance of Limbus Company's target in Intervallo III: Yield My Flesh to Claim Their Bones. He also has a tendency to struggle with social cues, such as by provoking others unintentionally, characterizing him as somewhat awkward in the process. Meursault makes an effort to learn from his mistakes, however, and is quick to adapt after criticism.

With time, Meursault has begun to share some of his thoughts and take initiative without being ordered to. Yet, his prolonged and inexpressive manner of speech often leads to others jumping to conclusions and cutting him off before he can finish speaking. While most of his comments remain tailored to the logistics of the present situation, he may occasionally admit to something more vulnerable, such as feelings of nostalgia. And while many of his judgements are extremely objective and utilitarian, following only the will of the manager, some do take others' feelings into consideration. Notably, Canto VI: The Heartbreaking sees him weigh the success of the mission against Heathcliff's safety, ultimately prioritizing Heathcliff's survival.[4] He also uses his E.G.O to successfully bind Erlking Heathcliff without being prompted.

In Canto V, Meursault mentions having wandered "in search of life's joys". In the process, he appears to have experienced many facets of life, picking up a variety of skills including cooking, massages, and fighting prowess. He also dedicates himself to staying up-to-date on City matters, opting to read the newspaper each morning. This makes him a relatively well-received member of the LCB even despite his icy attitude, as the others view him as reliable. Meursault is always up to the task, whether it be acting as a walking encyclopedia, or coming into clutch for more pressing matters.

Background Meursault was previously employed by N Corp. for an unknown length of time. While working for the Wing, he would think about his own personal opinions on humanity and if it aligned with N Corp's ideals of believing that pain is necessary to be considered human, but he never came to a conclusion. Meursault has mentioned being familiar with the N Corp. Taboo Hunter Vespa Crabro, though he has denied being a Taboo Hunter himself.[5]

In the past, Meursault was more open to elaborating on his thoughts without being prompted to do so, but after he found that people were often unable to accept what he had to say he stopped sharing such information with others. He used to wander about to discover the joys of life, and often visited clubs during this time. Meursault also used to smoke "Most things that fall under the category of 'cigarette'", but eventually dropped the habit of his own will, as he failed to see any purpose in maintaining it further.[6] When describing his past in Canto IX he explains having "partook" in activities both generally seen as "right" and "wrong" by society,[6] which further emphasizes the experimental nature of his behavior at that time. Meursault has mentioned that he has seen multiple cases of Distortion Phenomenon, but did not confirm if this was related to his time at N Corp. Meursault has also confirmed to have heard Carmen's voice in the past,[7] but it has not been confirmed if this led to a Distortion, E.G.O, or neither.

As a child, Meursault was scolded by his mother in a way he describes as similar to the way that Outis reprimands Don Quixote and Heathcliff in Intervallo III: Miracle in District 20.

Trivia Meursault's character icon depicts the rays of the sun in the sky, with thick chains dividing it. It is notably confined to a rectangular space, unlike the other Sinners' icons, with the chains cutting off the rectangle, creating the shape of a guillotine blade, referencing the method of execution he is sentenced to in The Stranger. Meursault is represented by the 🌇 emoji.[8] However, in non-official content it is quite common to find him represented by the ⛓ emoji, referencing his base E.G.O, Chains of Others. Meursault's particulars are listed as "refuses to cast any moral judgement",[9] while his associated color is #293b95, Decay Blue.[10] Meursault is based on the eponymous protagonist of the novella The Stranger by French author, philosopher, and political activist Albert Camus. In The Stranger, Meursault is on first appearance an amoral and overly-rational man, completely detached from all understanding of typical societal standards, such as him not showing obvious engagement for sentimental rituals during his mother's funeral, and passing absolutely no judgement towards the behavior of his unsavory neighbors, instead focusing on the physical sensations he feels in his life. After he shoots and kills an unnamed Arab man on the beach, his murder trial focuses less on the actual crime committed and more on his perceived soullessness, as someone who did not cry at his mother's funeral. The "SOLEIL" written on Meursault's gauntlet, meaning "Sun" in French, represents the recurring motif of the heat of the sun in The Stranger, which causes Meursault discomfort during his mother's funeral, clouds his judgement on the beach when he kills the unnamed Arab, causes him further discomfort during his trial, and is used as his only defense for why he committed a murder- a defense that Meursault himself recognizes as sounding ridiculous. Meursault's introduction quote references the famous opening line of The Stranger, which introduces the theme of Meursault's indifference to the life around him. Compared to the other Sinners, his quote deviates quite impactfully from its original source: the original quote instead reads "Today, mother died. Or maybe it was yesterday." (French: Aujourd'hui, maman est morte. Ou peut-être hier, je ne sais pas.) Meursault is shown to have an eidetic memory, the ability to recall a memory with high precision after only experiencing it once.[11] Like all of the Sinners, Meursault voiced a "Document Excerpt" Youtube short. Meursault's voice actor, Kwon Sung-hyuk, previously voiced Mang-chi, McCullin, Gyeong-mi, Alloc, and Pluto from Library of Ruina. 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. Meursault's associated meal was Ratatouille.[12] Meursault's collar in his Story Log icon and full character art differs from the one he is depicted with in his Sprites. Meursault has a repeated association with eyes: Art for his base E.G.O. Chains of Others features him sitting in a prison cell with multiple eyes drawn on the wall staring at him. During the battles against Sora/Enemy, Meursault is implictly identified by Hermes as "Gaze" [13]

Hong Lu (Mandarin: 鴻璐; 鸿璐, Pinyin: Hóng lù; Hangul: 홍루, hong-ru), chosen name of Baoyu (Mandarin: 寶玉; 宝玉, Pinyin: Bǎoyù) of the Jia Family, is designated Sinner #6 of Limbus Company's LCB department.

Hong Lu is a lighthearted and naive man with a tendency for unintentionally insensitive words. He is one of several children of the large and wealthy Jia family, having lived a life of sheltered affluence prior to joining Limbus Company.

He is the focus character of Canto VIII: The Surrendered Witnessing.

Contents 1 Appearance 2 Personality 3 Mirror Worlds 4 Trivia 5 External Links 6 References 7 Navigation Appearance 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.

Hong Lu carries a long guandao called "太虛幻境" (pinyin: tài xū huàn jìng; lit. 'Illusory Land of Great Void'), which he wields with his right hand.

When seen during his childhood, Hong Lu had a similar hairstyle, and he typically donned a white hanfu with light blue and gold decorations, beneath a white beizi. When seen during his adulthood in Daguanyuan, Hong Lu sported a similar look, consisting of a cream-colored hanfu with teal decorations, and a matching beizi.

Personality 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 also appears to lack inherent social tact, leading to excessively oblivious statements and questions when something inevitably catches his eye. While this does earn him some disapproval, he does not grow angry or depressed when others give him a difficult time. Hong Lu will either playfully disregard words of scorn, or is altogether too oblivious to be hurt by them, at least outwardly. Although some matters may lead to him growing more obedient or solemn, Hong Lu will consistently let anything and everything slide right off of his back without complaint or meaningful retort. This lends to the impression that Hong Lu is denying himself the chance to experience his true feelings, which is later shown to be the case. Nonetheless, he maintains an exceptionally cheerful, carefree attitude throughout Limbus Company's first year together. He is additionally very amiable and shown to be open to striking up neighborly conversation with everyone he comes across.

Despite this, Hong Lu is neither loud nor particularly talkative. Rather, he comes off of as reservedly observant. Canto IV: The Unchanging is the first story chapter to give insight into Hong Lu's unique perceptiveness and emotional intelligence. He takes the role of Young-ji in the League of Nine play, who Yi Sang describes as the most gentle and heartfelt of the League in their heyday, and contributes tender observations pertaining to Yi Sang's mental state and growth throughout his Dungeon. Here, Hong Lu demonstrates striking maturity and self-control in contrast to his usual attitude.

Canto VI: The Heartbreaking through Intervallo V: Nocturnal Sweeping build on this more empathetic, delicate side of his character. While his ditzy self remains, Hong Lu also demonstrates that he is a highly gentle, insightful, and understanding individual at heart. In tandem with his emotional maturity, however, grow Hong Lu's own signs of distress, and he reveals a passively suicidal mindset alongside a perceived lack of free will. These traits, revealed to have formed with the traumatizing fall of the Kong family, are pushed to an extreme when his old connections comment on his learned helplessness as his wider family takes advantage of his unwillingness to be true to himself. Yet with Jia Qiu's guidance, Hong Lu's adventure culminates in him denying the family elders who had long stripped him of his autonomy, as the "gem of the Jia family" relishes in the emotions he'd always forced himself to swallow.

Following the confrontation with his grandmother, Hong Lu is more emotionally reflective than ever. While his years of abuse cannot be undone, he shows a quiet determination to avoid holding his tongue and preach the kindness he believes in. Having made new bonds, mended old ones, and accepted the loss of others, Hong Lu grounds himself to the present with its variety of opportunities for happiness, wrath, sorrow, and joy.

Hong Lu is represented by the 🔮 emoji,[5] with the crystal referring to the jade in place of his eye. Hong Lu's particulars are listed as "bachelor" and "sheltered",[6] while his associated color is #5bffde, Naïve Cyan.[7] Hong Lu is based on the protagonist of Dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Baoyu ("贾宝玉"), a youth who is born with a magical piece of jade in his mouth, reincarnating as a human being to fulfill his previous life's wish to learn about humanity. Similarly to Hong Lu, Jia Baoyu is a sheltered young noble, scion of the aristocratic Jia clan, whose story explores his often tumultuous relationships with the other members of the household, such as his arranged marriage with his cousin Xue Baochai, his bond with his maidservant Xiren, and his disagreements with his father Jia Zheng, who is disappointed in Baoyu's disinterest in Confucian studies. Hong Lu's name, 鸿璐[8] (pinyin: hóng lù), is derived from both the name of the main character of Dream of the Red Chamber and the title of his source material, "红楼梦" (pinyin: hóng lóu mèng). The meaning of the name ("precious jade") remains unchanged, but the pronunciation of his name becomes very similar to the pronunciation of "Red Chamber" (紅樓, pinyin: hóng lóu). Despite this, on his splash art his name is still written as "红楼" (hóng lóu). The first character of his name is shared with Hongyuan Bioengineering Group (Mandarin: 鸿园生命工程集团, pinyin: hóng yuán shēngmìng gōngchéng jítuán), District 8's Wing. Hong Lu's introduction quote comes from the frame story of Dream of the Red Chamber, in which a sentient stone converses with a Buddhist monk and a Taoist immortal, expressing its desire to be taken with them to experience the mortal world. The two masters attempt to cull its enthusiasm and convey the various problems of human life, by replying that “美中不足,好事多魔” ("beauty has its flaws, good things have their demons"). The theme of the jade's life being devoted to exploring the width of human experience but in turn witnessing great pain is reprised by Hong Lu's story in Limbus Company. Like all of the Sinners, Hong Lu 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. Hong Lu's associated meal was Chilli Japchae & Hua Juan.[9] Hong Lu wears a metal name tag as opposed to the ID badge that the the majority of the other Sinners use, a trait he shares with Don Quixote and Outis. This is due to the name "Hong Lu" being a new name he chose upon joining the Company. Hong Lu can be inferred to be in his late 20s or early 30s, as he is known to be slightly older than Lin Daiyu, who mentions being nearly thirty years old.[10]

Heathcliff (Hangul: 히스클리프, hi-seu-keul-li-peu) is designated Sinner #7 of Limbus Company's LCB department.

Heathcliff is a brash and action-oriented man with a strong, dedicated spirit. He was previously affiliated with Wuthering Heights, having grown up alongside the Earnshaws and later worked for the Dead Rabbits Syndicate prior to joining Limbus Company.

He is the focus character of Canto VI: The Heartbreaking.

Contents 1 Appearance 2 Personality 3 Mirror Worlds 4 Trivia 5 External Links 6 References 7 Navigation Appearance 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.

During his makeover in Canto VI, Heathcliff wears a formal suit in the style of T Corp., composed of a white shirt underneath a red vest and a blue overcoat with red lapels, both decorated with golden trimmings, a white cravat and dark suit pants and boots. His hair has been combed back and tied into a low ponytail.

Notably, although difficult to catch, Heathcliff wears a ring on the pointer finger of his right hand, which is present in most of his Mirror World Identities.

Personality 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.

Originally, Heathcliff comes off as remarkably hostile. He expresses a loathing for being ordered around and is as willing to talk back to his allies as he is his enemies. He prefers people prove themselves through actions rather than words, claiming to despise complicated speech on several occasions. As such, the negative impressions he gives are often in the form of physical violence. One of his first interactions with Dante even consists of him beating Sinclair near-death for suggesting he go easy on the manager.

Despite this, the majority of Heathcliff's antagonism is in response to belittlement from others. In actuality, Heathcliff is not often one to start fights uncalled-for; rather, his fits of rage are but an over-the-top reaction to bullying and ridicule, and he is fully capable of engaging in grounded conversation. Constant jabs from Ishmael, Faust and Don Quixote simply hit a sore spot, as Heathcliff demonstrates a clear aversion to being looked down on.

On the other side of the spectrum, Heathcliff uses action in show of loyalty and consideration. And as the Sinners got to know each other, he began to treat the group like friends, in spite of their tendency to mistreat him. This included things like stepping up against N Corp. Inquisitors after they threatened Dante, or helping Ishmael break out of the pallidification. Despite harboring self-consciousness surrounding his intellect, Heathcliff also demonstrates an ability to think on his feet, often to a successful end. He has on several occasions come in clutch for others due to his fast-acting nature.

He would eventually become more willing to rely on verbal communication as the others respected him more in return. Intervallo III: Miracle in District 20 sees Heathcliff open up about his situation to Dante and Don Quixote when they are willing to listen and treat him with dignity. A wide array of conversations in Canto VI: The Heartbreaking cement this pattern in behavior: Heathcliff will attack those who provoke him, but is inclined to calmly converse with those who take him seriously. He is even prone to showing outright charity to these people, forgiving and thanking Nelly for all she's done for him after finding out about her betrayal. His former maid, who knew him better than most anyone, would later describe Heathcliff as a "good, kindhearted boy".

Anything involving Catherine consistently shows the most vulnerable sides of Heathcliff. Though still a brash, violent, and bad-tempered person, he is also one with regrets, fragility, selflessness, and a heart holding a lot of love for his favorite person in the world. Heathcliff mourns her with sincerity, and grows genuinely bashful when the topic of their relationship comes up. Having learned of the consequences of their lack of communication, he shows himself to be trying to improve in this matter, both in his relationship with Catherine and his bond with the Sinners, whom he's began considering like a family. He shows an unbending will to do anything for those he holds dear.

Post Canto VI, Heathcliff continues to wield his bat to strike against those who stand in his way, but now with determined purpose instead of meaningless anger. Rodion notes that he'd become more tame following the events at Wuthering Heights, after which he'd begun keeping a notebook. In it, he records memories of Catherine and his travels with Limbus Company, showing his determination to remember his loved one and one day get her back while still treasuring the new journey experienced with his new comrades.

Outside of the known Mirror Worlds, Heathcliff and Catherine share many additional Mirror Worlds and matching Identities. Some of these were shown to be:

In a world that resembles a medieval war-torn setting, Heathcliff is a knight. He wears an armor with a blue cape and golden trimmings, and a dark blue head covering, with a metal visor attached to it. He notably has a scar right under his eye as opposed to over his jaw. This Identity appears in the universe where Catherine is a noblewoman. In a world where both have monstrous forms reminiscent of E.G.O corrosion, Heathcliff appears as a sharp-clawed silhouette with protruding black spikes and yellow, slit-shaped, single-ringed and double-ringed eyes appearing indiscriminately all over his body. His body emanates a yellow aura. This Identity appears in the universe where Catherine has undergone a similar transformation. In a world that resembles a modern school setting, Heathcliff appears slightly younger, as a schoolboy. He wears a school uniform with short sleeves and a collared shirt. He also wears earphones, and has several band-aids on his face. His hair is styled to cover his forehead. This Identity appears in the universe where Catherine is a schoolgirl. In a world where both appear in formal clothing, Heathcliff wears black suit over a gray vest and a white shirt. He wears his hair cut neatly, and appears to not have any scars. This Identity appears in the universe where Catherine wears a green Victorian-era evening dress. In the Wuthering Heights of a certain world, Heathcliff appears to wear long dark trenchcoat which obscures him entirely. His hair appears longer and kempt, worn over his shoulders. This Identity appears in the world where Heathcliff and Catherine are both dead, with their images standing before their graves and looking over Wuthering Heights. Trivia Heathcliff's character icon represents a silver ring surrounding a purple hill being hit by lightning, with a branch of heath on one side of the ring, and the initials CE💜HC carved inside the ring. The hill references the Wuthering Heights manor, while the ring and the branch reference the ring gifted to him by Catherine, and the flower he is named after. Heathcliff is represented by the ⛈️ emoji.[4] Heathcliff's particulars are listed as "anger-management issues", "ruffian", and "inferiority complex",[5] while his associated color is #4e3076, Furious Violet.[6] Heathcliff is named after the protagonist of Emily Brontë's 1847 novel Wuthering Heights. Similarly to Heathcliff, his literary counterpart is a foundling raised by the Earnshaws of Wuthering Heights. While he and the daughter of the family, Catherine, fall in love, Heathcliff suffers racial and class discrimination from both the neighbors of the Linton family and the Earnshaw heir Hindley, who reduces him to a servant. This act determines Catherine's unwillingness to marry him in fear of destitution, with her instead marrying the affluent Edgar Linton. Heathcliff then flees Wuthering Heights, only returning after accumulating a fortune, set on taking revenge on Hindley and the Lintons, who have pulled him and Catherine apart, and on Catherine herself. While the events of the second half of the novel deviate from the story of Heathcliff as seen in Limbus Company, both Heathcliff and his literary counterpart eventually gain ownership of Wuthering Heights, following the death of their tormentor Hindley, their rival Linton, and their loved one Catherine, whom they still yearn to reunite with. Despite the obvious ties with his namesake, many points of Heathcliff's characterization appear based on the character of Hareton Earnshaw, Hindley's son, with his language and demeanor reflecting Hareton's, and the dynamics between him, Catherine and Linton resembling aspects of the dynamics between Hareton, Catherine Linton, and Linton Heathcliff. Similarly to the Heathcliff of Limbus Company, Hareton was deprived of his education and treated as a servant; he is described as intelligent but unrefined, and extremely sensitive to perceived slights, as well as deeply bashful and easily frustrated by teasing, especially that received from Catherine, whom he develops feelings for. Most significantly, unlike Heathcliff's namesake, Hareton is noted by the old housekeeper Nelly to have an honest, warm nature, leading him to strive to change and improve himself out of the degradation of his youth for the sake of others as well as his own, a determination that strongly resembles the core of Heathcliff's development during Canto VI. Heathcliff's introduction quote comes from Heathcliff and Catherine's final scene together in Wuthering Heights. As Catherine lays in her deathbed, Heathcliff laments both of their fates, claiming Catherine has broken his heart by condemning herself to an unhappy life and bringing about her own death. The concept of the two's shared pain in life and death is reprised in Limbus Company. One of Heathcliff's Mirror World forms bears a resemblance to the Big Bird Abnormality. The Big Bird Abnormality was a bird dedicated to the protection of its forest, and that, to save the people and creatures that lived within it from being hurt by a monster, began killing them itself, not realizing that the monster had been Big Bird itself all along. This appears to resemble the events of Canto VI, in which Erlking Heathcliff begins killing countless versions of himself in order to save Catherine's life, unknowingly continuing the cycle of tragedy. Like all of the Sinners, Heathcliff voiced a "Document Excerpt" Youtube short. Heathcliff has a very distinct British Cockney accent, often using slang in his speech. Like other T Corp. residents, his dialogue uses British spelling for words. Heathcliff is the first Sinner to distort, albeit temporarily. He is also the first Sinner to have his appearance slightly altered after the events of his focus Canto, with the name difference in the bat as seen in the character and battle sprite. However, this is currently unchanged in the Splash Art. Heathcliff's voice actor, Hong Seung-hyo, previously voiced Nemo and Maxim from Library of Ruina. 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. Heathcliff's associated meal was Fish and Chips.[7]

Ishmael (Hangul: 이스마엘, i-seu-ma-el) is designated Sinner #8 of Limbus Company's LCB department.

Ishmael is a straight-laced and dependable woman with a tendency for blunt words. She was previously affiliated with the Pequod and its crew, and subsequently spent a number of years working as a Fixer prior to joining Limbus Company.

She is the focus character of Canto V: The Evil Defining.

Contents 1 Appearance 2 Personality 3 Mirror Worlds 4 Trivia 5 External Links 6 References 7 Navigation Appearance 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.

Personality 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.

While Ishmael is something of a doubtful and antisocial person, she's also shown to be willing to build on her relationships. Canto IV sees her taking a harsh blow for Dante, despite previous complaints about them and their managerial prowess. Additionally, Ishmael will sometimes bring up her Whaling experiences as a way to try to relate to others, as with Faust in Intervallo IV: Murder on the WARP Express, although typically, her sociable side comes through in the form of banter, such as cheeky competitiveness, teasing, and bragging.

Despite her values, Ishmael can be considerably impulsive herself. Her emphasis on efficiency and adaptability leads to compulsive behavior when forced into situations she deems unreasonable. Intervallo II: S.E.A. sees Ishmael fall into neurosis as she is made to return to the waters which cost the lives of her former crew, resulting in her ceaselessly dedicating herself to preparations and snapping at anyone who attempts to undermine her anxiety. This culminates in Canto V as Ishmael's greater propensity for frenzy comes to light, and she is shown capable of excessive anger, violence, instability, and obsession in the face of her greatest evil. These feelings go hand-in-hand with doubt and depression as Ishmael loses sight of who she is, instead beginning to behave in a way similar to her former Captain. Her desire to kill the woman she resents ultimately concludes with Ishmael realizing that detaching herself from this obsession is the only way for her to rediscover a feeling of freedom and control over her life.

Post-Canto, Ishmael enjoys a strong sense of independence from the trauma that used to bind her. She expresses that she still has the ability to grow sharp and hot-headed, but by her own inclination, rather than being dragged along by an all-consuming fervor. Similarly, her motivation for questioning her coworkers shifts as she looks for reason to trust them. Still, she maintains a moderately standoffish attitude, being an unchanging core of her personality. Nonetheless, Ishmael's earnest relationship with Queequeg also speaks to a more caring, sensitive side of her when around the right people.

With Limbus Company, Ishmael proudly remains set on her own sail even as she follows her manager's lead, maintaining the core of who she is as she finds autonomy and balance in a difficult world.

Trivia Ishmael's character icon represents a compass surrounded by a hank of rope tied at the ends with two white ribbons, referencing Ishmael's goal of finding a new life for herself, and Queequeg's memento Ishmael always keeps on her person, in the form of her headband. Ishmael is represented by the ⛪ emoji.[4] The church references a famous chapter of Moby-Dick, in which Ishmael and Queequeg, before boarding on the Pequod, visit the Whaleman's Chapel church of New Bedford. There, they attend a sermon on Jonah, a prophet who was swallowed by a whale, but whose faith did not falter, until God decided to save him; the story of Jonah foreshadows the events of the novel. Ishmael's particulars are listed as "suffers from an obsessive-compulsive neurosis",[5] while her associated color is #ff9500, Isolate Orange.[6] Ishmael is named after the eponymous character from Herman Melville's novel Moby-Dick. Ishmael was a member of Captain Ahab's crew on his whaling ship Pequod and serves as the story's first-person perspective narrator. The title emblazoned on her shield, "HEARSE", references an event in Moby-Dick during which Fedallah, Ahab's harpooneer, speaks a series of prophecies regarding Ahab's fate: that Ahab will not have a hearse nor a coffin; that before his death, Ahab would see two hearses, one not made by mortal hands and the other made of American wood; that only hemp will kill Ahab. The prophecies all turn out to be true, as after Fedallah's death his corpse ends up lashed to Moby-Dick's back, thus making the whale himself the first hearse, and the Pequod ends up destroyed by the whale's attack, making the ship the second hearse. Ahab then throws a final harpoon towards the whale, but as the line gets tangled, the hemp rope loops around his neck, and drags him into the sea, where the captain meets his death. Ishmael's base E.G.O, Snagharpoon, further reinforces this connection, as it takes the form of a harpoon tied to Ishmael's via a rope of hemp, which Ishmael uses to defeat Ahab by destroying her purpose, killing the Pallid Whale during the final fight of Canto V. HEARSE might also reference Queequeg's coffin, an important prop both in Ishmael's backstory and in the book. In Moby-Dick, Queequeg suddenly falls very ill in the middle of the crew's voyage, and requests that a special wooden coffin be built for him to be sent out to sea in. Though Queequeg makes a miraculous recovery, the coffin is kept, and later ends up being fashioned into a replacement lifebuoy, which allows Ishmael to survive the destruction of the Pequod. Ishmael's introduction quote is the famous opening line of Moby-Dick. As Ishmael's character fades in the background as the story goes on, often seemingly disappearing and becoming a presence external to the narration while the most important events of the novel focus on Ahab, the line is relevant in establishing Ishmael as the central narrator. The concept of Ishmael struggling to assert his identity over Ahab's is reprised by their counterparts in Limbus Company. Like the other Sinners, Ishmael has voiced a "Document Excerpt" Youtube short. Ishmael's voice actress, Jang Ye-na, previously voiced Angelica in Library of Ruina. 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. Ishmael's associated meal was Hot Dogs.[7] Before it got fixed, Ishmael's coat used to read No. 7, despite her being Sinner No. 8. As both Seven and Eight Association are based on English language numbers, this may imply her Sinner number used to be 07 in early development.

Rodion (Hangul: 로지온, ro-ji-on) is designated Sinner #9 of Limbus Company's LCB department.

More frequently known as Rodya (Hangul: 로쟈, Rojya), she is a lively and nonchalant woman with a preference for informal conversation. She was previously affiliated with the Yurodiviye, having worked to overturn the injustices of the District 25 Backstreets prior to joining Limbus Company.

She is the focus character of Canto II: The Unloving.

Contents 1 Appearance 2 Personality 3 Mirror Worlds 4 Trivia 5 External Links 6 References 7 Navigation Appearance 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.

Personality 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.

Oftentimes, her fun antics are motivated by a particularly strong dislike of boredom and time-wasting. Having been afforded few luxuries in her youth, Rodya highly values access to food, free time, and relaxation. This is often displayed in an unabashed love for eating and money. Rodion is open about a belief that wealth is the sole deciding factor in one's quality of life, and determined to take advantage of everything she's offered as an employee of Limbus Company, without shame. These ideas also reflect Rodya's disillusionment with the world. Though she follows her own moral code, Rodya tends to expect little from other people and has a strong understanding of just how many systems abuse innocent citizens with each passing day.

Rodya possesses a more solemn side shaped by her impoverished upbringing in the Backstreets. Having experienced the plights of the City's lower class first-hand, she's often the first to comment on the wealth-based inequalities and tragedies encountered by the LCB. In times like these, Rodya grows more deadpan and determined to be heard out, as her words become uncharacteristically dour. However, Rodya seems uncomfortable acting too serious; as a result, she rarely commits to her frustration in these moments, instead opting to break up the discussion with an excuse and a forced laugh more reminiscent of her usual demeanor. In reality, Rodya's easygoing disposition is largely an exaggeration meant to help her avoid confronting her truer feelings. Her attitude changes strikingly when discussing or reminded of her past: faltering, growing cold, or acknowledging as little of it as possible. The events of Intervallo IV: Timekilling Time, in which she joins an investigation in an attempt to prove herself, characterize her as largely insecure and unsatisfied deep down. She is also shown to grow deeply judgemental as a means of reassuring herself about her own self worth.

Additionally, these bouts of insecurity tend to lead Rodya to act impulsively. The tragedy in her hometown was a direct result of her unwillingness to wait for Sonya's "right moment", wanting to take matters into her own hands and affirm that she's special. Yet despite some self-centeredness, Rodion is characterized as a genuinely kind and empathetic individual, filled with honest feelings of compassion and desperation to help her people. She is also a common comfort for the other members of the LCB, quick to ask if someone is okay or reassure them in a difficult situation. And while acclimated to the misfortune of the City, Rodya still maintains a dislike for unnecessary violence and shows a sympathetic heart.

Unable to move on just yet, Rodya continues to struggle to let go of the guilt and regrets tying herself to her past—failing to recognize her present value as a highly worthy member of the LCB, relied on and appreciated for who she already is.

Identity art. Trivia Rodion's character icon represents an axe cleaving through a human heart. The image reprises the tattoo Rodion has over the left side of her breast. Rodion is represented by the 🪓 emoji.[4] Rodion's particulars are listed as "materialistic" and "engrossed gambler",[5] while her associated color is #820000, Lusty Burgundy.[6] Rodion is based on the protagonist of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel Crime and Punishment. In Crime and Punishment, Rodion (Russian: Родио́н, Rodión) is a former law student belonging to Russian aristocracy and now impoverished, who, hoping to restart his life, kills a corrupt pawnbroker, as well as the pawnbroker's sister, who had witnessed the murder. Rodion, who initially believed himself a special individual with a right to step over moral boundaries, soon finds himself tormented by his crime and its consequences, eventually confessing to Sonya, a friend of the pawnbroker's sister, and later to the authorities. Rodion's physical appearance is heavily based on her literary counterpart, who is noted to have "beautiful dark brown hair" and be "above average in height, and well built". Rodion's weapon of choice is an axe, РАСКО́Л, referencing the one used by her literary counterpart in carrying out the murder of the pawnbroker. "РАСКО́Л" (RASKÓL) means "split" or "division" in Russian; it makes up the first half of the literary Rodion's last name, Raskól'nikov (Раско́льников). LCB Sinner Rodion's Identity acquisition line mentions that she has "a longer name, but that makes things look cold". She might share this full name with her literary counterpart, Rodion Romanovich Raskol'nikov. Rodion herself likes to be called by her diminutive, Rodya, which most of the cast tends to use. Rodion's introduction quote is taken from one of the early chapters of the novel. After attempting to save a young girl being harassed by an older man, and paying for a taxi in an attempt to send her back home, Rodion is overtaken by a feeling of hopelessness and starts to believe his actions aren't enough to help anyone, and he has done nothing more than waste money; reflecting on such thoughts, he wishes he could wake up again and forget about everything. The theme of Rodion struggling to concile his attempt to do good with the reality of the world around him is reprised by Rodion's story in Limbus Company. The introduction quote presents a discrepancy between translations: the Russian subtitles read "If she could forget herself, and begin afresh", whereas the English subtitles read "If she could forget everything, and begin afresh". The original quote from Crime and Punishment reads "He wished he could forget himself completely, forget everything, to wake up and begin afresh." (Russian: Он бы хотел совсем забыться, все забыть, потом проснуться и начать совсем сызнова...) Like all of the Sinners, Rodion voiced a "Document Excerpt" Youtube short. Rodion's voice actress, Yoon A-young, previously voiced Dalloc, Elena, Gloria, and Xiao in Library of Ruina. 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. Rodion's associated meal was Chicken Blini.[7] It was originally announced as Borscht.[8] Though she does not use them exclusively, Rodya has a habit of giving others nicknames, including: Character Nickname(s) Faust "Fau" Don Quixote "Chiquita", "Donqui", "kiddo" Ryōshū "Shū" Meursault "Meur" Heathcliff "Heath" Ishmael "Ishy" ("Ish" in the Korean script) Sinclair "Kid", "kiddo", "kiddie"; now "Sinc" as of LCB Regular Check-up Outis "Outie" (also written as "Outi") Gregor "Greg", "Gregor babe" Vergilius "Vergie" ("Ver" in the Korean script), "Verg", "Mr. Guide"

Emil Sinclair (Hangul: 에밀 싱클레어, e-mil sing-keul-le-eo) is designated Sinner #11 of Limbus Company's LCB department.

More frequently known as just Sinclair, he is an anxious and self-conscious man with a blatantly empathetic nature. He was previously affiliated with the prosthetic-famous town of Calw, having lived and attended school there prior to joining Limbus Company.

He is the focus character of Canto III: The Unconfronting.

Contents 1 Appearance 2 Personality 3 Mirror Worlds 4 Trivia 5 External Links 6 References 7 Navigation Appearance 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.

Personality 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.

This trait often shines in the form of Sinclair's extensive empathy. He advocates for mercy and kindness whenever possible, not only people, but also for creatures like animals and Abnormalities. This is particularly prominent in Canto V: The Evil Defining, and a frequent feature of the Sinners' Observation Logs. As such, he is characterized as a considerate person, and responds well to other charitable behavior. Sinclair is also often the one to speak up when one of his allies appears to feel down, and will frequently make an awkward effort to cheer them up or pivot the conversation. However, his observant, thoughtful nature is somewhat of a double-edged sword, as it lends to a bad habit of overthinking. Sinclair is shown to be sensitive and highly self-critical, reluctant to forgive himself for mistakes or put himself in positions where he can fail. A highly anxious and perfectionist approach to life often gives him a difficult time and causes his tendency to stutter.

Canto III: The Unconfronting demonstrates Sinclair's rougher side, as someone capable of grudges, violence, and disdain. His strong sense of justice is shown to go both ways, as his relationship with Kromer reveals that Sinclair's generosity has exceptions, and that he is not opposed to outright despising corrupt individuals and ideologies. Through finding the strength to stand up to her, Sinclair becomes more self confident and goes on to adapt better to the City's cruelty. The other members of the LCB later point out that he's not as shaken as when they'd first met him. His experience with Kromer has also led Sinclair to develop a sense for underhanded charity, as seen with his accurate suspicions against the likes of Ahab and Cesara. Despite this, Sinclair's Canto portrays him as still having room to grow into himself moving forward.

Sinclair continues to be a highly emotive Sinner, standing out among the group by offering unexpected sympathy or being the first to panic in stressful situations. His time with the company has helped negate his hesitance to stand up for what he believes in, and while this behavior regularly results in infighting among the LCB, it also shows Sinclair's determination to prevent tragedy caused by a fear of speaking his mind. He carries on through life with the same tenderness and good will he's always had, learning and growing as a person as he goes.

Mirror Worlds World of the J Corp. Backstreets In this world, Sinclair is the leader of the Los Mariachis Syndicate. After discovering a passion for music, Sinclair found himself able to shake off his typical anxious mindset and embraced a more violent side that lead to him becoming a Syndicate leader.

Trivia Sinclair's character icon depicts an egg starting to crack. This references the metaphor of a person having to break their own egg in order to grow up, introduced by Demian in Canto III. The crack is also reminiscent of The Sign that he and Demian's Group share. Sinclair is represented by the 🐣 emoji.[4] Sinclair's particulars are listed as "wishy-washy", "overdependent", and "inexorably insecure",[5] while his associated color is #8b9c15, Immature Green.[6] Sinclair is based on the protagonist and narrator of Hermann Hesse's 1919 novel Demian: The Story of A Boyhood, sharing numerous traits with his literary source. Similarly to Sinclair as depicted in Limbus Company, the Emil Sinclair of Hesse's novel is a young man that struggles to live between two worlds: a world of "light" associated with his family and representing the expectations of his future, and a world of "darkness" that he is introduced to by Kromer, representing temptation and the embrace of violence and strong emotions, that Sinclair finds himself reluctantly drawn to. Much like his counterpart in Limbus Company, he begins to face his struggle with the help of a classmate, a mysterious youth named Demian. Sinclair's character poster and base E.G.O, Branch of Knowledge, appear to reference this concept as well, showing Sinclair standing in the middle of a screen split between a light side and a darker one, in front of what appears to be the tree of Eden, surmounted by a golden apple. Within Demian, the apple appears as a symbol of temptation in the first chapter, during which the young Sinclair lies to Kromer about having stolen golden apples from the miller's orchard, leading to Kromer blackmailing him. This represents Sinclair's first venture into the world of darkness, through his sin of lying. Sinclair is the second child and only son of his family, having an older sister; this is similar to his literary counterpart, although the Sinclair of the novel instead has two sisters. Sinclair's introduction quote comes from an early chapter of Demian, in which Sinclair explains the belief he's held, ever since he was a child, of the existence of two worlds: when describing the world of evil, he comments that it began inside his family's house, in the stories and rumors passed on by the servants and workmen. In Limbus Company, the statement is taken more literally, as it describes Sinclair's experience with his family's sudden transformation, and the dark feelings the event sparked in him. Sinclair's halberd is named "VOGEL", after the German word for 'bird', and references a recurring concept in Demian. In the novel, Demian expresses interest in the coat-of-arms carved in the keystone of the entrance of Sinclair's house, which depicts a sparrow. The bird then begins showing up in Sinclair's dreams all throughout his life. Later on, Demian leaves Sinclair a paper with the note "The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas", likening Sinclair to the bird, and inspiring Sinclair's journey of spiritual discovery in the following years. Despite introducing himself as Emil Sinclair, and his full name being written on his coat, Sinclair is rarely ever referred to by his first name by other characters within the game; this references his literary counterpart, whose first name is never spoken within the novel, and only known due to the book having been originally published under the pseudonym of Emil Sinclair. This is played straight to the point Sinclair's sister and father refer to him by his last name during Canto III, although this may have been an oversight on the writers' part. Sinclair's hometown, Calw, references Hermann Hesse's birthplace. The town's visuals appear to have been heavily based on the real-world town's architecture as well. Sinclair is possibly the 10th Sinner recruited instead of Dante. It is implied this was a last minute change in designation given the number on his company-uniform overcoat actually being "10" — having the "0" be crossed and replaced by hastily written "1" to write out a crude "11". Like all of the Sinners, Sinclair voiced a "Document Excerpt" Youtube short. Sinclair's voice actor, Kim Daol, previously voiced Boris and Astolfo in Library of Ruina. 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. Sinclair's associated meal was Rösti.[7]

Outis (Hangul: 오티스, o-ti-seu) is designated Sinner #12 of Limbus Company's LCB department.

Outis is a brusque and assertive woman with a poorly-disguised inclination to look down on those around her. Previously involved in the Smoke War, she has a tendency to judge others based on the many critical experiences she had prior to joining Limbus Company.

She will be the focus character of the currently unannounced Canto XI.

Contents 1 Appearance 2 Personality 3 Mirror Worlds 4 Background 5 Trivia 6 External Links 7 References 8 Navigation Appearance 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.

Personality 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.

Similarly, an arrogant sense of self confidence also follows Outis wherever she goes. Outis makes it clear that she sees herself as one of the most competent members of the LCB—if not the most—and often claims that her and Dante make up more than enough manpower to settle most situations. While Outis is shown to have great capabilities, the haughtiness of which she carries herself often leads the people around her to dismiss her skill and poke fun at her attitude, to which Outis takes great offense. Part of this adequacy shines through her deeply goal-driven nature, a trait which is emphasized in a few of her Identities, and the years-long journey she describes having taken prior to joining Limbus Company.[4]

Outis has a noticeably sycophantic relationship with Dante, as she is quick to praise them for their leadership prowess and to defend them from any form of criticism. However, the majority of her compliments toward the manager also have a sense of back-handedness, and suggest she does not harbor any genuine good will towards them. Still, with time, Outis' tendency to obnoxiously commend Dante has grown far less common and defining of her character. By Miracle in District 20, she was willing to brazenly lecture Dante on the importance of staying alive, and later stubbornly refute them on Don Quixote's nature in Canto VII: The Dream Ending. Despite this, she has sternly expressed to Dante that they have not disappointed her yet.[5] Rather than making progress with them, the LCB only seems to frustrate Outis more as time passes. She expresses no interest in opening up to her coworkers, including the manager she used to spend so much time trying to impress. Her dislike of the others usually shows through admonishing them for reckless behavior, or pointing out their flaws and general stain on the group. She is particularly opposed to cowardice and the withholding of information.[6]

Additionally, as her file points out, Outis maintains a cunning personality and a mysterious, classified past. Despite it also warning of potential treachery, Outis is consistently the most outspoken against traitors, sniffing out and chastising various back-stabbers across multiple different Cantos.[7] Likewise, Outis has a habit of suggesting that certain Sinners be removed from the company when she feels their behavior may pose a danger to Dante or the proceeding of their missions.

In many ways, Outis behaves as if she were still on the lines of war. She often uses military terms as descriptors, and comments on her coworkers' performance as she would on a platoon of soldiers. While she frequently blames the LCB for being incompetent subordinates, she's not unwilling to fault superiors for failing their men; at times pointing to poor leadership for the failures of other factions.

Although Outis' time on the battlefield has hardened her into a rigid and difficult person, it is that same experience which makes her such a steadfast, knowledgeable, and professional member of the team, determined to follow her journey to its conclusion.

World of Kurokumo Clan In this world, Outis is a Wakashu of the Kurokumo Clan. She wears a light colored shirt under a dark haori, and wears rectangular reading glasses. She appears in Heathcliff's Kurokumo Clan Identity Story. Background Currently, not much information regarding her background has been revealed.

Outis fought in the Smoke War and still follows the same strict, military guidelines and behavior that she knew as a soldier. While the exact length of time is unknown, Outis has not returned home in a number of years, likely since the events of the Smoke War. She is a well traveled woman, having spent many years on a journey exploring far lands before she became a Sinner of Limbus Company.

Trivia Outis' character icon represents her broken wristwatch, with the silhouette of a horse's head on the face, and has a Greek phrase inscribed onto it: "Εγώ έχω μια οικογένεια. Είχαν την δικιά τους.", translating to "I have my family. They had theirs." Outis is represented by the 👢 emoji.[8] Outis' particulars are listed as "strategic",[9] while her associated color is #325339, Militant Olive.[10] Outis takes her name from a pseudonym belonging to her literary basis, Odysseus, the Greek war general that fought in the Trojan War, and eponymous hero of the Odyssey. 'Outis' (Greek: Ουτις) was a pseudonym used by Odysseus to trick the Cyclops Polyphemus when the monster demanded the hero’s name after capturing and eating some of Odysseus’ men trapped in his cave. ‘Ουτις’ (Οὖτις) was an Ancient Greek pronoun meaning “nothing” or “nobody”. Using this pseudonym, Odysseus and his men blinded Polyphemus, causing him to scream out “Nobody is killing me”. This only led his fellow cyclopes to ignore his pleas for help, believing he was only joking and not in any real danger at all. Unfortunately, in a fit of hubris, Odysseus declared his true identity to taunt Polyphemus — who, upon learning his true name, prayed to his father Poseidon to curse Odysseus as retribution. The horse depicted in Outis's character icon references the Trojan Horse, a ploy developed by Odysseus and the general Diomedes, that led to the downfall of Troy and victory for the Greeks. As a metaphor, it represents an offering that may look innocent, but whose real purpose is to bring harm to the receiver. Outis' introduction quote references Odysseus' interaction with Polyphemus in Book IX of the Odyssey (lines 365-367), in which Odysseus introduces himself to the Cyclops with the words: "Noman is my name, Noman do they call me — my mother and my father, and all my comrades as well."[11] Like all of the Sinners, Outis voiced a "Document Excerpt" Youtube short. Outis wears a metal name tag as opposed to the ID badge that the the majority of the other Sinners use, a trait she shares with Don Quixote and Hong Lu. This seems to suggest the name "Outis" is a pseudonym, as it is in the Odyssey. Outis' main weapon is a kopis, a curved sword of Ancient Greek origin. The kopis was mainly used in horseback warfare, and was also utilized by Persian, Indian, and Macedonian armies. The spread collar of Outis' dress shirt is inconsistent between her sprites and older images. In her sprites, the collar is down in the "proper" form, covering the loop of her tie. However, it is upturned in her story log and promotional artwork. Outis' voice actress, Kim Bo-na, previously voiced Binah, Naoki, Alpha, Merry, and Naimon in Library of Ruina. 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. Outis's associated meal was Moussaka.[12]

Gregor (Hangul: 그레고르, geu-re-go-reu) is designated Sinner #13 of Limbus Company's LCB department.

Gregor is a good-humored and composed man with a bit of a competitive side. He was previously affiliated with the Smoke War, having fought for the Old G Corp. alongside other bug-augmented test subjects prior to joining Limbus Company.

He is the focus character of Canto I: The Outcast.

Contents 1 Appearance 2 Personality 3 Mirror Worlds 4 Augmentations and Transformations 5 Trivia 6 External Links 7 References 8 Navigation Appearance 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.

Personality 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. Both Canto II and III see him acting out a bit and failing miserably, leading to him growing flustered and sheepish. This comes with a tendency to use tacky phrases, such as "bugger", "shoot", and "whoop". However, in all such cases that end with him humbled, Gregor proves himself to be a good sport. Ultimately, his time spent on the battlefield leads Gregor to value the casual day-to-day.

Gregor is characterized as one of the more ordinary members of the LCB, and tends to react to situations more than he engages with them. He's inclined to sit comfortably as one of the less talkative Sinners, chiming in for minor matters and letting the others take the wheel. As a result of his earlier years having been spent according to the whims of his mother, Gregor is easily pulled into things, regardless of his wishes.

Still, in situations that affect Gregor on a personal level, his demeanor changes. During these times, Gregor grows silent and distant, as if he is contemplating something. When faced with an unexpected reunion with his mother, Hermann, whose actions determined his entire future, he does not grow aggressive or angry, but rather silently downcast. He reacts to Yuri's death and adverse comments about his bio-prosthetic arm in the same manner. Gregor maintains a tendency to swallow his emotions and take ridicule mildly, rather than firing back or expressing frustration. For example, Gregor is often upset by the other Sinners making jokes at his expense about his verminous arm or general relation to bugs, yet never insists on apologies or changed behavior going forward, allowing them to continue mistreating him. Despite this, he gives them more attitude for it than he does to those mistreating him in more serious situations. Gregor has a tendency to react more outspokenly to things that bother him on a surface level, and go quiet concerning affairs that affect him deeply. Out of everything, Gregor is most willing to speak up about matters involving war, resulting in occasional skirmishes with Outis.

Additionally, in tune with his good-natured personality, Gregor is demonstrated to be a softhearted individual. He is consistently sympathetic to others' feelings and causes, usually expressed by means of agreeing or relating to them. And while he has a tendency to make quips like Ishmael or Dante, he comes off as far less judgemental in comparison.

Through humor and a mild nature, Gregor tries to live contently in the present, doing his best to put his years of war behind him.

UNGEZIEFER KAISER. As the son of a director of the old G Corp., Gregor was surgically operated on by Hermann before he reached adulthood.[4][5] This was a successful surgery that gave him cockroach augmentations and bio-prosthetics, and, due to Hermann's skill, left him without the side effects that other augmented soldiers suffered from.[5] Although Gregor's right arm appears to be the only permanently visible result of the operation, he was also left with additional potential described as "gifts" to be "unwrapped".

The Roach Emperor, or Ungeziefer Kaiser, is one of several special metamorphosed forms that Gregor can undergo due to the augmentations he received. The form itself was one of the old G Corp.'s "decisive weapons" meant to be used in the Smoke War alongside the Maggot Prince, the Moth Princess, and the Lord of Flies.[6] Gregor never managed to utilize this extremely powerful form during the war however, having gotten "stuck mid-hatch" and failing to break out of his husk.[6] When Gregor is seen with it in Canto IX: The Unsevering, the transformation gives him the ability to summon and manipulate roaches, and appears to diminish his free will and cognitive functions by consuming his mind with simple thoughts of infesting, consuming, and suffering.[7]

According to Hermann, Gregor has yet to tap into the gift she looks forward to the most, as the Roach Emperor is but another "layer of wrappings" before the truly worthwhile form.[8]

Trivia Gregor's character icon represents an insectoid claw holding onto three dog tags, of which one has a bullethole in the center. These reference Gregor's traumas as seen in Canto I, that of his arm surgery and that of the Smoke War. Gregor is represented by the 🪲 emoji.[9] However, in non-official material it is quite common to find him represented by the 🪳 emoji.

Gregor's original promo poster design, with the full name "Gregor Samsa" written in the Metamorphosis quote in the bottom left corner. Gregor's particulars are listed as "repulsive" and "spontaneously metamorphic",[10] while his associated color is #69350b, Verminous Brown.[11] Gregor's character is based off the eponymous Gregor Samsa of Franz Kafka’s novella The Metamorphosis (German: Die Verwandlung). In The Metamorphosis, Gregor Samsa is a traveling salesman, who wakes up one day transformed into a giant insect. Throughout the novella, Gregor and his family struggle to adapt to his sudden transformation, with Gregor attempting to hang on to his humanity before accepting the reality of his fate. Based on the initial version of his promotional poster, Gregor was possibly supposed to have the full name "Gregor Samsa" just like his book counterpart. However, due to changes later made to the design done to avoid potential copyright issues, it is unknown whether he still shares this last name as of the game's official release. At the end of Canto I, Gregor mentions having had a younger sister, referencing his literary counterpart. In The Metamorphosis, Gregor's sister Grete attempts to take care of him during the early days following his transformation. As time goes on, Grete ends up being the first to get tired of the family's new situation, suggesting to her parents that they should get rid of Gregor. Gregor's introduction quote is based on the famous first line of The Metamorphosis, which describes Gregor Samsa's sudden transformation. Gregor's subtitle, "UNGEZIEFER" is the specific term Kafka uses to describe Gregor Samsa's appearance upon waking up in the opening sentence of the novella's original German text. The term is famously known for having a wide multitude of varying English translations; the English subtitles for Gregor's promo trailer translate the word as "hideous pest". The associated book quote from his initial character teaser post on Twitter ("מטמורפוזה ungeheueren Ungeziefer")[12] is partially written in Hebrew (despite the novella being originally written in German), likely as both a nod to Kafka's Czech Jewish family origins, and to distinguish him from Sinclair and Faust whose source materials Demian and Faust are also written in German. Like all of the Sinners, Gregor 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. Gregor's associated meal was Svíčková.[13] Gregor's age at the start of the game appeared listed as 35 in the Dante's Notes UI, before it was censored. Originally, Gregor's subtitle was supposed to be "גרגור" (grgvr), the Hebrew transcription of his given name. Due to accusations of plagiarism made by Jack Jung on Twitter over Yi Sang's original promo poster design, the promo posters which had been uploaded at that point (belonging to Gregor, Rodion, Sinclair and Yi Sang) were deleted and edited to remove the quotes derived from their source books to avoid potential copyright issues. Gregor's LCB sprite has a cockroach on his shoulder which is also present in all of his Identity art. When Gregor and Ishmael switch bodies in A Midspring Night's Dream 2, the cockroach follows Gregor, and is present on Ishmael's sprite. While Gregor himself is absent from the ending scene of Canto IX, the cockroach is seen on Hohenheim shedding a tear.

Vergilius (Hangul: 베르길리우스, be-reu-gil-ri-u-seu) is a Color Fixer known as the Red Gaze (붉은시선, bulg-eun-si-seon). He is employed as the guide of Limbus Company and dedicated to his role as caretaker of Charon, rarely showing his true strength as a Color.

He is a returning character from Leviathan, during which he is an independent Fixer running his own Office in V Corp. The series explores the circumstances leading to his eventual recruitment to Limbus Company as well as his connection to Charon.

Contents 1 Appearance 2 Personality 3 Background 4 Trivia 5 References 6 Navigation Appearance Vergilius is a man of thin build and exceptionally pale, nearly gray skin. He has a visible scar across his face that goes from above his left eyebrow down to his right cheek, and his hands appear quite scarred as well. He has short, straight gray hair with a slight part in the middle. Vergilius has red eyes which glow when angered, from which he takes his Color Fixer name.

Vergilius wears a loosely-buttoned dress shirt, a striped jacket with a badge on the left lapel, slacks and dress shoes. All his clothing are black or shades of gray. Vergilius also sports an earring on his right ear.

Though not visible, Vergilius' body has received some augmentations, with his legs being enhanced with synthetic muscle fibers. Vergilius' weapon of choice is an orange gladius, which can be heated at will.

Vergilius has manifested E.G.O, which takes the form of a red leather pauldron over his right shoulder, from which flows a cape of blood that reaches down to the ground, as well as a green laurel crown, spiked with blood-red thorns, causing blood to drip over Vergilius' face. When activating his E.G.O, his gladius also changes, turning bright red and appearing drenched in blood.

Personality Vergilius is a jaded and straightforward individual with a sharp tongue. He is emotionally detached from most of the group, viewing them as a group of unruly children he has to watch over. He keeps his distance from them, and has no qualms with threatening Sinners with extreme violence or using it to discipline them.

Despite his cold behavior towards the Sinners, Vergilius seems to push people away and put up a cruel and uncaring front, in order to avoid getting closer to his colleagues again, as in Vergilius' past, this has happened before quite recently, with him losing his office and the orphanage kids he cared for at the hands of the Ring. Even so, he has a soft spot for Charon, and he seemingly considers Dante as some sort of confidant, even if he has no outer regard for Dante's struggles.

Vergilius appears ambivalent to his title of a Color Fixer, constantly emphasizing his role within the company as nothing but a simple guide and pushing off Don Quixote and Hopkins' idolization of him, and is shown to carry heavy guilt regarding his past and profession, which has often led him to destroy entire families. This is also part of the reason why he decided to care for orphan children.

Despite this, in Main Story Encounter 6-41, Vergilius appeared briefly as a non-controllable ally unit when a seemingly never-ending horde of enemies from The Wild Hunt emerged from an underground laboratory operated by ex-Ring researchers, forfeiting several clauses of his contract with Limbus Company in the process (which was the major reason behind his strict non-interference in the Sinners' operations), likely as the scene reminded him of the similar events that had led to the death of his Office members, as of Leviathan.

Background After the events of Leviathan, Vergilius and Charon came into the employment of Limbus Company. As a guide, Vergilius directs the Sinners to their destination and will not get directly involved with the mission, and he will not fight unless Dante is in imminent danger. On occasion, he will enact disciplinary measures on Sinners, be it verbal or physical, to ensure the mission will not be further hampered by their behavior.

Trivia Vergilius is based on Virgil from Dante Alighieri's poem, the Divine Comedy, who in turn was based on the real life Roman poet Virgil, who lived in the Augustan Period around 19 B.C. His associated color is Stygian Cobalt - #84a79d.[1] This color is shared with Charon. Vergilius was forced to dress up as Santa Claus by his team before the events of Leviathan, and it is the only instance of Vergilius smiling in the novel. Vergilius is ambidextrous, shown wielding the gladius in both hands interchangeably in Leviathan. Vergilius owns a pair of rectangular glasses, which he dons in Book 7 of Leviathan as part of a disguise of sorts. Vergilius always carries a folded group picture of him and the orphans in the pocket of his old jacket. He is shown gazing into it in the ending credits of Canto VI: The Heartbreaking. Vergilius' eyes are implied to have been swapped, with the red eyes he has now having originally belonged to a Bloodfiend First Kindred. [2][3][4] This is further backed by the name of one of his Effloresced E.G.O Skills, "Funeral for a Dead Bloodfiend". Vergilius' E.G.O, Lavacrum Sanguinis, roughly translates to "Bloodbath" or "Baptism by blood".

Charon (Hangul: 카론, ka-ron), is the offbeat, childishly strange driver of Limbus Company's bus, Mephistopheles.

She is a returning character from Leviathan, where she is introduced as Lapis (라피스, Rapiseu), a headstrong young woman who grew up in Vergilius' orphanage. Her disappearance leads to Garnet, her childhood friend and fellow orphan, and Vergilius investigating what happened to her, eventually discovering she has been abducted by the Ring. As part of the Ring's experiments with the glass window, Lapis' personality was overwritten with an Identity of herself from another Mirror World.

This process left the Identity known as "Charon" trapped in Lapis' body, with no memories of who Lapis is. Vergilius would ultimately take the job as Limbus Company's guide as a part of a deal made with Faust to one day get Lapis back.

Contents 1 Appearance 2 Personality 3 Story 3.1 Leviathan 3.2 Limbus Company 4 Mirror Worlds 5 Trivia 6 Navigation Appearance Charon is a short girl with grayish skin. Her droopy eyes are of a similar gray color and tend to have a vacant, emotionless look. Charon has silver hair with bangs and that covers her ears; in the back, it is tied into two thin, floor-length twintails.

Charon wears grayish-green, church-like attire in the form of a ankle-length, long-sleeved dress and hat. Her hat is tall and brimless with silver rims; the lower rim splits and curls outwards to make room for a mural of a dark cross within a larger, silver cross with two dots below the cross's arms. Charon's dress has a high collar, a very low neckline, a layered skirt and rounded hems; she also wears a pleated white top with a cross mural on the chest, black boots with white laces, black gloves and two black belts with silver buckles.

The hems and edges of the dress have silver lining; the outermost skirt parts in the middle and has geometric murals (the same as on her cuffs, lapels and bottom rim of her hat) running partway down its length whereas as the inner skirt has black outlining. The collar and hems of Charon's dress have the same cruciform mural as on her hat.

Charon carries with her a black, square-type oar.

Personality Charon is a laconic, quiet individual whose few words are blunt and brief. Charon simply seems to be in her own world, and repeatedly proves that she is neither shy nor scared of the Sinners. Similarly to Vergilius, Charon stays disconnected from the group and shows no interest in becoming close with them. Her stubborn refusal to learn how to use a map or navigate properly in Canto I: The Outcast is indicative of her unwavering nature and tendency to resist outside influence. Charon has somewhat of a childish personality, frequently using phrases such as "vroom-vroom" or "shimmy-shaky" and talking about Mephistopheles as if it were a living being. She also refers to herself exclusively in third person.

At the beginning of Limbus Company, Charon has a pre-established relationship with her guardian Vergilius, who treats her as something of a daughter. Their relationship shows off both of their softer sides: Charon will act more childlike and needy with him, and Vergilius treats her with a surprising amount of affection. However, Charon seems to be missing some memories of the time they've spent together, and will sometimes contradict herself. For example, when Vergilius mentions that she used to hum when she was sad, she denies this, stating she only hums when happy. Though she comes off as relatively detached and carefree, it's clear that Charon has more going on underneath the surface. Vergilius would at one point remark to Dante that she is "going through a long tunnel with no end in sight".

Story Leviathan Lapis' father was a Syndicate boss who loved his daughter, with it being well known in the Syndicate how much he cared about her. While on a Fixer Contract, Vergilius killed her father and many of the other members of the Syndicate. After the death of her father, Vergilius had Lapis moved to an orphanage where she would be well taken care of. At the orphanage, she became close friends with Garnet, but didn't open up to any of the other children. Lapis often talked about Vergilius, who occasionally stopped by the orphanage to drop off gifts and see her and the other children, and looked up to him. One Christmas Eve, the orphanage was attacked by Iori and Tomerry, and Lapis witnessed the deaths of many of her fellow orphans but managed to survive.

Half a year after the destruction of the orphanage, Lapis planned to meet with Garnet and catch up. She had gotten a job at a fruit harvesting company and seemed to have been recovering from the trauma of the attack. However, Lapis would never get to make it to the meeting as she was kidnapped by the Ring. She had a camera on her at the time of her abduction and was able to record inside the corridors and the laboratory where they were running experiments on other orphans who had grown up alongside her. Somehow, this video was sent to Vergilius's Office, which resulted in the Office Fixers and Garnet, who had been attempting to request help from Vergilius to find Lapis, deciding to infiltrate the laboratory. While the Office Fixers only decided upon the job to get information about the Singularity that was being created through these experiments, Garnet only cared about rescuing Lapis and the other orphans.

Lapis along with the kidnapped children from the orphanage were used for experiments by Aseah and Jumsoon as they refined the glass window and tested refraction rates. Despite his best efforts, in his attempt to save Lapis, Garnet suffered from being subjected to extremely high refraction rates and turned into a gem-like cocoon like many of the other subjects did. Vergilius eventually arrived to the laboratory and, after dealing with Jumsoon, found Lapis resting in a test tube. When it was opened, however, the girl inside was confused about being called "Lapis" and asserted that her name was "Charon". The experiments with the glass window had been successful, and Lapis had been overwritten by this Charon Identity.

Charon explored the room, and found a broken shard of Garnet's gem which had been shattered while Vergilius was fighting. She showed the gem to Vergilius, despite not knowing what (or who) it was, and he decided that Charon would be his responsibility to care for from now on. Not long after, the LCA broke into the laboratory and Faust offered a deal to Vergilius: if he worked as the guide of Limbus Company, they would help him get back Lapis and Garnet. As seen in Limbus Company, Vergilius would ultimately agree to this deal and have Charon work alongside him at the company.

Limbus Company Charon works as the bus driver of Limbus Company, and drives them to their destinations on their search for the Golden Boughs. While not often the focus of a scene, Charon is often found at Vergilius' side when not she is not driving. She never gets involved in combat, and typically waits in the bus until the Sinners return from their mission.

During Canto I: The Outcast, Yuri, a Fixer who traveled with the Sinners while they were on their first Golden Bough retrieval mission, attempted to teach Charon how to use maps to navigate, as Charon simply drives based on instinct. Unfortunately, Yuri died before getting any of her lessons to stick with Charon and she has continued driving as she always has.

In Canto VII: The Dream Ending, Charon and Dante had a short conversation, with Faust helping act as a translator for them. Dante asked Charon what she would like to do if they got a chance to visit a normal amusement park while not working, and Charon answered that she would like to eat candy. While Charon often asks Vergilius for sweets, this appears to be a connection between her and Lapis, as Lapis had a dream when she was a child to one day try all the flavors of candy in the world.

Mirror Worlds During the events of Leviathan, Garnet sees into multiple Mirror Worlds and knows Lapis in several of them.

In a world where Lapis and Garnet are Fixers of Steetlight Office, Lapis mirrors Mars from Library of Ruina and Garnet mirrors Lulu. The scene Garnet witnesses is a direct reference to Lulu's heartbroken breakdown upon learning that Mars had been turned into a book in the Library. In a world where Lapis and Garnet are married, Lapis mirrors Angelica from Library of Ruina and Garnet mirrors Roland. The scene Garnet witnesses is a direct reference to Roland discovering Angelica has been killed by the Pianist. Trivia Charon is based on the Greek mythological figure of the same name, known as the ferryman of the rivers Acheron and Styx. In the Divine Comedy, Charon is the ferryman who takes Dante and Virgil down into first circle of Hell, beginning Dante's journey through Inferno. The oar Charon carries reference common depictions of ferryman Charon using an oar. Lapis is named after after a gemstone, lapis lazuli, which is a trait she shares with the other characters who grew up in the orphanage. Her associated color is Stygian Cobalt - #84a79d.[1] This color is shared with Vergilius. Charon's sprite received a quiet revamp around two years into Limbus Company's lifespan, with the release of A Midspring Night's Dream 2. This update changed her sprite to add bows where her hair is tied, a triangular tip to the oar she carries, and made the shape of her dress more symmetrical. This newer version of Charon's sprite is now used across all story content, including those released prior to the April Fools event.

Mephistopheles (메피스토펠레스, me-pi-seu-to-pel-re-seu) is the bus used by the LCB Team of Limbus Company. Mephistopheles is driven by Charon and is used by the Sinners and Vergilius, serving as their transport, mobile base of operations and habitation in their mission to retrieve the Golden Boughs.

Contents 1 Appearance 2 Abilities 2.1 Enkephalin Extraction 2.2 Extraction 2.3 Regeneration 2.4 Backdoor 2.5 Shapeshifting 3 Story 4 Trivia 5 Navigation Appearance Mephistopheles is a rectangular, four-wheeled bus with barred windows and low fenders. The front resembles a steam locomotive's smokebox, possessing a chimney, semicircular windshield and a cowcatcher-esque bumper. Mephistopheles also possesses a hidden shredder on its side to facilitate Enkephalin extraction.

Limbus Company's personal branding are written on the side of the vehicle in all caps, whereas only "LIMBUS" is written on the front. Mephistopheles is primarily coloured red and dark gray, with silver, wavelike accents in various locations across the bus.

The interior of Mephistopheles is wide and possesses red seating (apparently with no seatbelts) and handrails/grab handles for the Sinners. The driver's cab is located on the left, decorated with various items by Charon.

Mephistopheles has a ornate doorway on its rear. Beyond it is the Backdoor, a straight, softly lit corridor with red-and-gold carpeting and wooden doors to the Sinner's rooms on each side. Gold stanchions and velvet ropes block off all but the first 8 doors; with further areas devolving into a complex system of other corridors and crossroads.

When in "busboat" (boat) form, Mephistopheles becomes significantly larger, acquires an ornate gray hull with red trim, a metal deck and a stern deck crane. The cabin remains unchanged, but now possesses a traditional ship's wheel.

Abilities As a bus, Mephistopheles can easily and quickly transport the entire LCB Team, sometimes with additional passengers. However, it also possesses nonstandard features to assist the Sinners. The bus itself can also be used as a weapon to plow into targets.

Enkephalin Extraction The engine of Mephistopheles, designed by Faust, can use Enkephalin to generate ignition and thrust. Because Enkephalin is produced in the brain and spinal nerves (with extraction from live subjects being more effective), the bus can feed on humans for fuel: in Canto I, several live Hooligans are fed into Mephistopheles' shredder. Faust further explains that the flesh and blood can be used to maintain Mephistopheles' speed, thus conserving Enkephalin.

Extraction Using its engine and Lunacy, Mephistopheles can extract random Identities in the form of Identity Cards and E.G.O from Mirror Worlds. Faust describes the engine as using the "concept of possibilities itself" as fuel.

While the extraction range is usually 3 years into the future or past, it can increase to 10 years or more when "specific possibilities" can be clearly observed and the "borders between the mirror realities are entirely shattered", such as during Walpurgis Night. The Sinner's experiences can also gradually increase the extraction range to more Mirror Worlds.

Regeneration Mephistopheles can slowly regenerate itself using its engine. After having its stern partially crushed between two ships, it repaired the damage in a few days.

Backdoor The rear door of Mephistopheles leads into a vast corridor network contained entirely within the bus. Each side has doors that lead into rooms for each of the Sinners; their appearance and ambience is influenced by the Sinner's mental state but nonetheless provides them with habitation. It is described as the Sinner's lodging, personal space and cell by Dante. The door to Dante's room opens to a corridor with the entrances to the Luxcavation Dungeons, Mirror Dungeons, (both powered by the engine) and the Refraction Railway, a subway station with a self-driving train with a design scheme similar to Mephistopheles. The backdoor also possesses a breakroom.

Because Mephistopheles' engine changes and adapts with each Golden Bough retrieval, the contents of the Backdoor (namely the Mirror Dungeon) also changes with each retrieval.

Nobody is permitted to go into the unlit corridors past the Sinner's rooms. Beyond that point are a network of forked paths and crossroads that only Faust can navigate. The doors lead to different spaces depending on who opens them, allowing multiple people to use the same door for different destinations.

Deeper corridors may possess auditory and spatial anomalies. Heathcliff, Dante and Faust began "falling" sideways in one corridor. Additional hazards include being "engulfed" (which Faust does not elaborate on) and entities of obscure nature, one of which gives Heathcliff psychological damage. The fact that Heathcliff's rescue prevented a "sudden vacancy" in the LCB implies even Dante's clock is ineffective against these threats.

Shapeshifting After Molar Boatworks installs a form transmogrifier, Mephistopheles can transform into a boat. This mechanism relies on the bus' core, which is said to permit Mephistopheles the ability to change into other forms.

Endure Mode: Endure Mode was activated after encountering a Great Lakes Wave. Its exact features (aside from lengthening the deck) are unclear, but it appears to give the Sinners space for combat; the busboat was also undamaged by the Great Lakes Whale clinging onto the hull while it was active. Backup Power System: Mephistopheles can be powered by pedals on the ship's deck in the absence of power. This is a consequence of the engine melding with the navigation system, as the failure of the latter will cause both to become temporarily stop functioning. Skiff: Mephistopheles has a small, undecked skiff that just fits every Sinner. It can be propelled with its own engine or by oar. Story Mephistopheles first appears in the Prologue, where it barrels through the forest and hits Lion. The Sinners then disembark to save Dante after making their pact with them, but are annihilated by Lion, Wolf and Panther; only the timely intervention of Vergilius saves everybody.

In Canto I, Mephistopheles brings the Sinners and Yuri to Lobotomy Corporation Branch D-02. Its Enkephalin-based propulsion is explained by Faust as it consumes several defeated Hooligans in the Backstreets of District 4. At the end, Gregor hangs up Yuri's gas mask on Mephistopheles' window.

In Canto II, Mephistopheles brings the Sinners to J Corp's District 10, near Branch J-03. In Canto III, Mephistopheles (after being slightly damaged by an Inquisitor's Nail and stopped by them) brings the Sinners to in Calw within K Corp's District 11 Nest (Nest K), towards L Corp. Branch K-02.

In Intervallo I, Mephistopheles travels to one of Nest K's downtown alleys to meet a client for the next mission. Its stay is delayed due to the presence of a Distortion. Mephistopheles gains a new passenger in the form of a Papa Bongy plushy.

In Canto IV, Mephistopheles continues traveling through Nest K towards their corporate building.

In Intervallo II, Mephistopheles is converted into a boat (referred to as a busboat by Dante) by Molar Boatworks using scrap metal from Trash Crabs and U Corp's Singularity in preparation for the upcoming mission in U Corp's District. However, it begins sinking shortly after leaving and is hurriedly rowed back for repairs, much to the dismay of Olga, Mika and Rain.

In Canto V, it travels to Marlin Portship to meet with the LCCB team and obtain the variable coordinates to U Corp's Lobotomy Corp. Branch. Because the navigation system failed, bringing with it all engine power, the Sinners are forced to use the manual power system to escape an oncoming Wave. Though exhausted, they reach Marlin Portship without further incident. After their departure, the Sinners repel attacks by a Great Lakes Whale and the Twinhook Pirates. Upon reaching the coordinates, Mephistopheles deploys a skiff to Lobotomy Corp. Branch. The same skiff is used afterwards to hunt down the Pallid Whale with the Indigo Elder, but it is destroyed after the Calamity ingests it.

In Canto VI, it delivers the Sinners through T Corp.'s nest to the Wuthering Heights mansion. Its stay is once again delayed when the Sinners are detained for an excessive Time Tax during the events of Intervallo IV: Timekilling Time.

In Intervallo IV: Murder on the WARP Express, Mephistopheles is secured aboard a WARP train bound for P Corp. The Sinners skip the rest of the WARP Train's journey by using the backdoor to reside within the original dimension, disconnected from the train, bypassing the extremely long journey in ten seconds.

In Canto VII, Mephistopheles transports the Sinners to a temporary base in P Corp's Backstreets for the La Manchaland eradication contract.

In Intervallo V: Nocturnal Sweeping, Mephistopheles is driven to District 8. During that time, it is used by the LCC for an assignment, but returns to the Backstreets of District 8 to retrieve the Sinners and transport them to the central zone of H.
