The LCD

Aeng-du wears a battle-worn and bloodstained Salsu outfit, common to the Sinners' Blade Lineage Salsu identities - comprised of a black Dopo robe with white and red accents. Her long hair is neatly tied with a red hairband and adorned with two hair beads in red and white, mirroring the seemingly traditional colors associated with the Blade Lineage. As of Canto IX: The Unsevering, she wears an LCD armband on her left arm, with her employee ID hanging across her chest from a lanyard. Aeng-du is a very loyal and determined person, willing to push herself through even extreme injuries for the sake of Bamboo-hatted Kim, the Blade Lineage's mentor. She has a lot of pride in being a member of the Blade Lineage and her relationship to both the Syndicate and its leader is a core part of her identity. When her understanding of her mentor is challenged, it shakes her and leaves her vulnerable to the Monolith's influences. As seen with her conversation with Yi Sang about their shared home District, she shares a kinship with others who have been forced to leave S Corp. behind.

Moses is a short, middle aged woman with dark hair and white highlights, and visible wrinkles around her eyes. She has pale skin and dark grey eyes. Her main outfit consist of a white shirt with long sleeves with ruffles, a red ribbon tied around the collar of her shirt and an off-the-sleeves grey jacket with golden trimming and cross-shapped golden buttons. She wears high waisted black pants with golden stripes, and black shoes with white and gold accents. She always carries with her churchwarden pipe, later revealed to be her Psychoment, which has a long black mouthpiece and a golden diam, adorned with a red ribbon. This allows her to purify incomplete Distortions, pacify and/or suppress enemies, depending on the smoke's color. Her "pale breath" attack comes at a direct cost of shortening Moses' lifespan. Her purple breath creates "binds" from her regret, her pale breath creates a blue mist capable of slowing down her opponent, her red breath transform the smoke into a blade, and her white breath creates a mist that protects from mental attacks. Moses holds a calm and analytical attitude to any situations that she happens to find herself in, be it facing distortions or near-death scenarios. Even in moments of extreme danger, she is able to keep her composure and unravel the source of any distortions she happens to find herself against. She has a deep trust in her allies, especially her assistant Ezra, trusting in their combat capabilities and ability to stay safe while she utilizes her analytical skills.

Ezra is a tall woman with red eyes and long blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, and adorned with a star-shaped pin. She wears a large gray jacket with orange trimmings, matching boots, and a black miniskirt over gray tights. Ezra always carries a dimensional bag with her, which contains all of her weapons and first-aid gear. Her coat and bag are covered in stickers, patches and pins, as Ezra is fond of decorating everything she owns. Ezra is a bubbly, boisterous person that is enthusiastic about many of life's joys. She speaks casually with everyone she meets, leading to her struggling to keep secrets or keeping up an act when attempting to lay low. Her favorite things to do are snack on good food, especially sweets, and research and discuss the latest and greatest weaponry in the City. As seen when dealing with Distortions, Ezra has the tendency to act without thinking and can get herself into trouble, but this is counteracted by Moses always looking out for Ezra's safety. In return, Ezra is willing to protect Moses with her life and the two women rely on each other's abilities on every job they take. Due their time in Udjat, during which Moses was Ezra's captain, Ezra learned to following Moses' commands and became fiercely loyal to her. She is deeply troubled by the fact Moses cares so little about her own life and has seen it as her duty to protect Moses ever since the woman saved her life during the Smoke War. When others disrespect Moses or upset her, Ezra's cheery facade drops and she turns cold as she demands, occasionally with the threat of violence, that Moses is treated with the respect she deserves. In truth, much of what Ezra presents to others is not fully reflective of her true emotions. She adapts herself to behave in a way that others expect her to, whether that be putting on a mask of sadness or, most often, happiness. That said, not all of how she comes across is faked and she takes genuine joy in her hobbies and interests. Her time as an Udjat haunts her, and she finds that the best way to cope is to seek joy in life instead of taking everything seriously. Overall, Ezra lives by that philosophy and does her best to have fun and focus on the things she loves, even if she struggles at times to be unapologetically herself. She calls Vespa “baby bee” as a nickname.

Vespa is a tall and muscular man with pale skin and short black hair with yellow highlights, which he typically wears slicked back. He dons square glasses and has a tired look on his face. Vespa is a serious and calculating individual, almost always acting in a manner that is both highly professional and detached from any emotions. He is well aware of his abilities and limits, frequently giving accurate assessments of how long a battle will take and never attempts to present himself as more capable than he actually is. Thanks to his time as a Taboo Hunter, he is highly observant and intelligent, able to quickly gather the basics of a situation and adjust his plans accordingly. This also makes him very adaptable, and he has a high level of mental fortitude that allows him to do even unpleasant things in order to survive, as seen by him turning to cannibalism to prevent starvation. Despite this cold demeanor, Vespa has a sense of justice that he tries to follow and does not enjoy killing people needlessly. When talking to others for reasons unrelated to work, he respects peoples wishes when they ask him to not inquire about certain topics and rarely attempts to force his opinions on others. He has a fondness for vehicles and is a skilled driver, and enjoys cinnamon tea. The only situation that gives Vespa trouble in following orders is when he's made to interact with Syndicates. Due to a tragic event in his past, Vespa prefers to kill Syndicate members rather than walk away and allow them to continue killing others. He has a particular hatred for the Thumb and is barely able to tolerate their presence. When Ezra discussed the Thumb's weapons and the various design elements of them that make them so well suited to taking lives, Vespa became upset to the point of drawing his sword on her in order to get her to stop discussing the Thumb's purges. Even with these struggles with Syndicates, Vespa still ultimately listens to Moses when she tells him to not cause them unnecessary trouble by instigating fights needlessly.
