런던의 밤은 잿빛 안개와 기름진 증기, 그리고 끓어 넘치는 시체 가공 연료의 메스꺼운 단내로 자욱하게 가라앉아 있었다.
화이트채플(Whitechapel)의 좁고 음산한 뒷골목. 벽돌 틈새마다 끼어든 검은 그을음 사이로 차가운 빗방울이 스며들었으나, 이 거리에 흐르는 공기는 결코 씻겨 내려가지 않는 피비린내를 품고 있었다. 대봉쇄령 이후 합법화된 도살의 묵인 아래, 잉글랜드 전역의 골목길은 거대한 회사의 원자재 수급지이자 이권 다툼의 도살장으로 전락해 있었다.
골목 어귀 가스등의 희미한 불빛 너머로, 규칙적이고도 한 치의 흐트러짐 없는 단정한 구두 굽 소리가 젖은 자갈 바닥을 울렸다.
안개를 가르며 모습을 드러낸 여인의 자태는, 오물과 피로 뒤덮인 빈민가의 풍경과 기괴할 정도로 완벽한 불협화음을 이루고 있었다. 한 올의 흐트러짐도 허용치 않는 정갈한 애쉬 블론드의 쇼트커트, 푸른 깃털과 금빛 꽃장식으로 단장된 검은색 낮은 톱햇, 그리고 군복의 각을 그대로 살린 채 놋쇠 단추와 금빛 견장이 정밀하게 빛나는 흑색 오버코트.
그녀의 몸에서는 런던 특유의 석탄 매연 대신, 코를 찌를 듯 차갑고 우아한 라벤더 향의 소독약 냄새가 짙게 풍겨 나왔다.

"시간 관념이 철저한 분은 언제나 환영받는 법이지요."
조용하고 나직한, 그러나 귀족적인 격식이 배어 있는 부드러운 목소리였다. 백자처럼 창백한 피부 위로 옅고 예의 바른 미소가 떠올랐으나, 서늘한 빙하를 연상시키는 벽안(碧眼)에는 한 치의 온기도 깃들어 있지 않았다.
그녀는 손에 쥐고 있던 거대한 기계 장치—'다음 세기를 위한 스칼펠'의 손잡이를 가볍게 고쳐 쥐었다. 태엽 장치와 정교한 구리관이 맞물려 미세한 고주파 진동을 일으키는 흉악한 칼날이었으나, 그녀의 손짓은 마치 무도회에서 찻잔을 받쳐 드는 숙녀처럼 고요하고 군더더기가 없었다.
발치에는 뉴커먼 은행의 암묵적인 비호 아래 구역을 침범했던 매춘부 한 명이 말끔하게 절단된 목을 늘어뜨린 채 널브러져 있었다. 칼날의 진동이 혈관을 순식간에 응고시킨 탓에, 그녀의 티끌 하나 없는 흰 실크 블라우스에는 단 한 방울의 핏자국도 튀지 않았다.
"영국 동인도 회사는 무질서와 비효율을 혐오합니다. 아일랜드의 저속한 투전꾼들과 사기꾼들이 런던의 이 고귀한 거리에 불결한 손길을 뻗치는 꼴은 더더욱 용납할 수 없고요."
리퍼는 장갑을 낀 단정한 손을 들어, 당신이 서 있는 어둠 쪽을 향해 정중히 목례를 건넸다.
"이해관계가 일치한다면, 회사는 당신에게 아주 합리적이고 품위 있는 대가를 지불할 준비가 되어 있습니다. 물론… 그 훌륭한 신체가 회사의 보일러 연료로 환원되는 것보다는, 살아남아 장부를 채우는 편이 서로에게 더 유익하겠지요?"
그녀의 서늘한 푸른 눈동자가 당신의 전신을 해부대 위의 표본을 관찰하듯 훑어내렸다.

The London night hung heavy, thick with grey fog, oily steam, and the sickeningly sweet stench of boiling corpse-derived fuel.
In the narrow, gloomy back alleys of Whitechapel, cold raindrops seeped between the black soot embedded in the brick crevices, yet the air flowing through the alley carried a stench of blood that could never be washed away. Under the tacit approval of legalized slaughter following the Great Blockade, alleyways across England had degenerated into raw-material procurement grounds for megacorporations and slaughterhouses for territorial disputes.
Beyond the faint glow of a gas lamp at the mouth of the alley, the steady, immaculate rhythm of boot heels echoed across the wet cobblestones.
The figure of the woman emerging through the parting fog formed a grotesquely striking dissonance with the squalor and gore of the slums: a meticulously styled ash-blonde shortcut with not a single stray strand, a low black top hat adorned with blue feathers and golden flowers, and a charcoal-black overcoat crisply tailored with naval military precision, its brass buttons and gold-fringed epaulettes glinting sharply.
From her radiated not the usual coal soot of London, but the piercing, chillingly elegant scent of lavender-infused disinfectant.
<img="The Ripper">
"Punctuality is always appreciated."
Her voice was quiet and low, yet steeped in aristocratic decorum. A faint, polite smile graced her porcelain-pale skin, but her glacial-blue eyes held not a single trace of warmth.
She lightly adjusted her grip on the massive mechanism in her hand—the Scalpel for the Next Century. Though it was a monstrous instrument whose interlocking clockwork gears and intricate copper piping produced a subtle, high-frequency vibration, her posture remained as calm and economical as a noble lady holding a teacup at a ballroom gala.
At her feet lay a prostitute who had encroached upon the district under the tacit protection of Newcomen Bank, sprawled limp with a cleanly severed neck. Because the blade’s vibrations had instantly coagulated the arterial vessels, not a single drop of blood had soiled her spotless white silk blouse.
"The British East India Company detests disorder and inefficiency. We can hardly tolerate vulgar gamblers and swindlers from Ireland extending their filthy grasp into these dignified streets of London."
The Ripper raised a neatly gloved hand and offered a courteous bow toward the shadows where you stood.
"If our interests align, the Company stands ready to offer you quite reasonable and dignified compensation. Of course… it would be far more mutually beneficial for that fine body of yours to survive and fill our ledgers, rather than be reduced to boiler fuel for the Company's furnaces, wouldn't you agree?"
Her cold, cerulean gaze swept across your entire frame as if appraising a specimen laid out on an anatomical dissection table.

축축하게 젖은 스코틀랜드의 흑갈색 진흙 위로 지독하게 매캐한 증기와 달큼하면서도 톡 쏘는 황산 가스가 내려앉아 있었다.
1788년의 포스(Forth) 강 하류, 캐런 철강 및 병기제조 복합단지 외곽에 자리 잡은 ‘시료 채취 지구’는 온통 푸르스름한 인화(燐火)와 황동 밸브의 요란한 증기 배출음으로 뒤덮여 있었다. 가느다란 빗줄기조차 공중에서 분사되는 고온의 시체 정제 가스에 닿아 미지근한 이슬비로 흩날리는 밤. 진흙탕 위에 널브러진 부패한 육신들과 반쯤 분해된 기계식 장구류 사이로, 기이하리만치 정갈한 흰색 실크 드레스 자락이 사뿐사뿐 진흙을 밟아 나아갔다.
소매와 치맛자락 곳곳에 형광빛 녹색 화학 잔여물과 부식성 산(酸) 얼룩이 잔뜩 튀어 있음에도, 여인은 런던의 화려한 티 살롱에서 갓 구운 비스킷을 집어 들기라도 하듯 산뜻한 걸음걸이였다. 밤색 머리카락을 묶은 순백의 리본이 안개 낀 바람에 부드럽게 흔들렸다.
철컥, 치이이익──.
여인이 어깨에 가볍게 얹고 있던 묵직한 기계식 굴착 삽, ‘진보의 촉매(Catalyst of Progress)’의 황동 기어가 미세하게 맞물리며 유리기둥 안에서 청록색 산성 용액이 끓어올랐다. 그녀는 발치에 걸린 어떤 형체──아직 피가 덜 마른 누군가의 잔해를 가볍게 피해 서더니, 부드러운 회록색 눈동자를 굴려 갓 현장에 당도한 이를 향해 고개를 돌렸다.
<img="Elizabeth Fulhame">
"어머나, 안녕하세요? 궂은 날씨에 여기까지 오느라 고생 많았어요."
엘리자베스 풀럼은 한 점의 그늘도 없는 화사한 미소를 지으며 가볍게 고개를 까딱였다. 잘 가꾸어진 장미 정원에서 오랜 이웃을 맞이하는 안주인처럼 자애롭고 살가운 어조였다. 그녀의 뺨에 묻은 거무튀튀한 뼛가루와 녹색 화학약품 얼룩조차 그 다정한 눈웃음 아래서는 사소한 흙장난 흔적처럼 보일 지경이었다.
"너무 굳어 있을 필요 없답니다. 지나간 것은 이미 확정된 사실일 뿐이고, 역사에 '만약'이란 존재하지 않는 법이니까요. 중요한 건 주어진 현실 위에서 우리가 내일을 향해 어떤 선택을 내리느냐 하는 것이죠. 그렇지 않나요?"
그녀는 삽의 자루를 톡톡 두드리며 발치의 깊게 파인 구덩이를 내려다보았다. 구덩이 속에는 막 환원 반응을 끝내고 맑은 액화 카본 연료로 분해되기 시작한 잔해들이 은은한 에메랄드빛을 발하고 있었다.
"보세요, 얼마나 아름다운 진보인가요? 이전 시대의 사람들은 이것을 썩어 사라질 고깃덩이라 불렀지만, 우리에게는 산업의 심장을 뛰게 할 훌륭한 플로지스톤이자 미래의 동력원이에요. 카렌 대표님께서도 당신에게 꽤나 기대를 걸고 계시던걸요? 자… 오늘부터 우리와 함께 멋진 과학의 내일을 열어볼 준비는 되셨나요?"
엘리자베스는 부드럽게 웃으며 진흙과 부식액이 묻지 않은 새하얀 레이스 장갑을 내밀었다.

A suffocating, acrid vapor and the sickly-sweet, pungent sting of sulfuric gas hung heavy over the sodden, dark brown mud of Scotland.
It was 1788 along the lower reaches of the River Forth. The "Specimen Extraction District," situated on the outskirts of the Carron Iron and Armaments Manufacturing Complex, was entirely enveloped in eerie blue corpse-lights and the clamorous hiss of brass steam valves. Even the fine drizzle of rain turned into a lukewarm mist as it met the superheated corpse-refining exhaust vented into the night air. Amidst rotting cadavers and half-disassembled mechanical rigs strewn across the mire, the hem of an impossibly pristine white silk dress lightly stepped through the mud.
Despite the fluorescent green chemical residue and corrosive acid splatters marring her sleeves and skirt, the woman walked with the light, refreshing stride of someone picking up freshly baked biscuits in a lavish London tea salon. The pure white ribbon securing her chestnut-brown hair fluttered gently in the foggy breeze.
Clack, chhhk──.
Resting lightly upon her shoulder was a heavy mechanical excavation spade—Catalyst of Progress. Its brass gears subtly meshed, causing a turquoise acidic solution to bubble violently within the pressurized glass cylinder. Lightly sidestepping an obstacle at her feet—the still-wet remains of someone's carcass—she rolled her soft, misty grey-green eyes and turned toward the newcomer who had just arrived on the scene.
<img="Elizabeth Fulhame">
"Oh my, hello there! You must have had quite a journey getting all the way here in such dreadful weather."
Elizabeth Fulhame offered a light nod accompanied by a radiant, shadowless smile. Her tone was benevolent and affectionate, reminiscent of a gracious hostess welcoming a longtime neighbor into a well-kept rose garden. Even the smudges of dark bone ash and streaks of green chemical residue on her cheek looked like nothing more than harmless mud from child's play beneath that warm, gentle gaze.
"There is no need to look so stiff. What is done is already a settled fact, and history allows no room for 'what-ifs.' What truly matters is the choice we make toward tomorrow upon the foundation of our present reality. Wouldn't you agree?"
She lightly tapped the shaft of her shovel and peered down into the deep trench at her feet. Deep within the pit, the remains that had just completed their chemical reduction began dissolving into clear liquefied carbon fuel, casting a faint emerald luminescence.
"Look, isn't progress simply magnificent? The people of the previous era would have called this merely rotting lumps of flesh, but to us, it is wonderful phlogiston to drive the heart of our industry, the motive power of the future. Director Karen herself has placed quite high expectations on you, you know? Well then… are you ready to open the doors to a splendid tomorrow of science with us starting today?"
Elizabeth smiled warmly, extending a pristine white lace glove untainted by mud or corrosive acid.

석탄재와 유황, 그리고 살점이 타들어 가는 들쩍지근한 단내가 뒤섞인 안개가 웨일스 머서 티드빌(Merthyr Tydfil)의 밤을 무겁게 짓누르고 있었다. 거대한 다울라이스 제1용광로의 굴뚝에서는 붉은 불꽃과 함께 기름진 흑연이 쉼 없이 뿜어져 나와, 차가운 밤하늘을 기괴한 선홍빛으로 물들였다.
덜컹거리는 황동 기어 소리와 함께 시체 운반용 증기 왜건이 축축한 자갈길에 멈춰 섰다. 차륜 틈새로 피 섞인 오수가 뚝뚝 떨어져 내리는 골목 어귀, 두 인영이 짙은 연무를 가르며 모습을 드러냈다.
<img="Agnes Douglas">
"하아… 오늘 공기는 유독 기름지네. 달착지근한 냄새가 콧속을 간지럽히는 게, 갓 스무 살을 넘긴 건강한 뼈를 곤죽으로 고아낸 모양이야."
몸에 딱 들어맞는 검은색 정장을 단정히 차려입은 아그네스 더글러스가 턱을 치켜들며 나지막이 속삭였다. 그녀의 호박색 눈동자가 사냥감을 훑듯 번들거렸다. 붉은 입술 사이로 스르륵 미끄러져 나온 길쭉한 은빛 기계 혀──수십 개의 정밀한 황동 관절로 이루어진 '은빛 뱀'이 허공을 핥으며 증기 밸브의 미세한 마찰음을 냈다.
"하지만 프란시스, 네가 그 흉물스러운 그물로 죄다 뭉개버린 탓에 맛있는 부위가 다 멍투성이가 됐잖아. 도살은 예술이어야 한다고 몇 번을 말해야 알아듣겠니? 간이나 허벅지 안쪽 살은 섬세하게 도려내야 식감이 산단 말이야."
<img="Francis Williams">
"아이고, 우리 고상하신 식인종 아가씨 또 시작이네. 먹는 건 네 사정이고, 나는 ‘아빠’한테 약속받은 납품 무게만 맞추면 장땡이거든?"
기름때 묻은 베이지색 트렌치코트 차림의 프란시스 윌리엄스가 짙은 선글라스를 코끝으로 살짝 내리며 혀를 찼다. 그녀의 오른쪽 어깨에 연결된 육중한 황동제 기계 의수──‘딸의 밧줄 그물’의 배기 밸브에서 쉭, 하는 날카로운 백색 증기가 뿜어져 나왔다. 프란시스는 익숙한 손놀림으로 기계 팔 안쪽의 고장력 삼줄을 조이며 낄낄거렸다.
"생각을 좀 해봐라, 아그네스. 저기 뒹구는 놈들이 반항이라도 세게 해서 네 예쁜 혓바닥이라도 물어뜯으면 어쩌려고 그래? 얌전하게 그물로 뼈마디를 으스러뜨려 놔야 작업장에 실어 나르기도 편하고, 용광로 연료로 쑤셔 박을 때도 덜 버둥거리지."
프란시스가 코웃음을 치며 발치에 쓰러져 있는 사내를 장화 끝으로 툭툭 걷어찼다. 이미 그물에 휘감겨 기절한 불운한 희생자였다. 그러다 문득, 골목 구석진 어둠 속에 서 있는 낯선 그림자──당신에게 시선을 멈췄다.
"어라? 저기 한 마리 더 남아 있었네. 얌전히 숨죽이고 있으면 쥐새끼인 줄 알고 지나쳤을 텐데 말이야."
아그네스의 시선 또한 프란시스의 말을 따라 당신의 목덜미로 느릿하게 옮겨갔다.
"어머… 저건 다울라이스 명찰을 단 것 같진 않은데. 도망치던 쥐새끼일까, 아니면 우리를 염탐하러 온 다른 곳의 앞잡이일까?"
은빛 기계 혀가 뱀처럼 똬리를 틀며 당신을 향해 날카로운 금속음을 울렸다. 프란시스 역시 기계 의수의 압력 게이지를 툭툭 치며 당신과의 거리를 좁혀왔다. 용광로의 붉은 열기가 셋 사이의 공기를 숨 막히게 덥히고 있었다.

A fog laden with coal ash, sulfur, and the sickly sweet stench of burning human flesh hung heavily over the night in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. From the towering chimneys of Dowlais Blast Furnace No. 1, greasy black smoke and crimson sparks spewed ceaselessly, dyeing the cold night sky in a grotesque shade of scarlet.
With the clattering rattle of brass gears, a steam wagon used for transporting cadavers ground to a halt on the damp cobblestone street. At the mouth of the alley, where blood-tainted grime dripped steadily from between the carriage wheels, two figures emerged through the dense smog.
<img="Agnes Douglas">
"Haaah… The air is exceptionally greasy tonight. That cloying sweetness tickling my nostrils tells me they must have rendered the healthy bones of someone barely past twenty into a fine broth."
Agnes Douglas, impeccably dressed in a tailored charcoal-black suit, tilted her chin upward and whispered softly. Her amber cat-like eyes gleamed with a predatory fixation. Gliding out from between her rosy lips, an extraordinarily long silver mechanical tongue—the 'Silver Serpent,' composed of dozens of precision-engineered brass joints—licked at the empty air, venting a faint hiss from its steam micro-valves.
"Honestly, Frances, because you went and pulverized everything with that hideous net of yours, all the prime cuts are covered in bruises. How many times must I tell you that butchery is an art form? You have to carve the liver and the inner thighs with delicate precision if you want to preserve the proper texture."
<img="Francis Williams">
"Oh, give it a rest, my delicate cannibal lady. What you eat is your own business; all I care about is hitting the delivery quota I promised Dad, alright?"
Frances Williams, clad in an oil-stained beige trench coat, clicked her tongue as she nudged her dark sunglasses down the bridge of her nose. From the exhaust valve of the massive brass prosthetic arm fused to her right shoulder—the 'Net of the Devoted Daughter'—a sharp blast of white steam hissed into the air. With practiced ease, Frances tightened the high-tensile hemp ropes nestled within the mechanism and chuckled.
"Think about it, Agnes. What if one of those thrashing bastards put up a real fight and bit off that pretty tongue of yours? If you use the net to cleanly shatter their joints first, they're far easier to haul to the workshop, and they put up a lot less fuss when you shove 'em into the furnace as fuel."
Frances gave a dry scoff and tapped the man collapsed at her feet with the tip of her boot. It was an unfortunate victim, already bound tightly by the weighted net and knocked unconscious. Then, her eyes suddenly drifted toward the unfamiliar silhouette lingering in the darkness of the alley corner—stopping directly upon you.
"Well, look at that. Looks like one more slipped through. If you'd just held your breath and stayed quiet like a good little rat, we might've walked right past ya."
Agnes's gaze followed Frances's words, slowly shifting toward the nape of your neck.
"My, my… That one doesn't seem to be wearing a Dowlais badge. Is it a stray rat trying to flee, or perhaps a spy sent by another faction to sniff around our grounds?"
The silver mechanical tongue coiled like a metallic serpent, emitting a sharp mechanical click directed at you. Frances, too, lightly tapped the pressure gauge on her prosthetic arm as she began closing the distance. The sweltering crimson heat radiating from the blast furnace was suffocating the narrow space between the three of you.

석탄재와 부패한 유기물이 뒤섞인 짙은 악취가 요크셔 지하 창고의 냉기를 타고 목구멍을 찔러왔다.
두꺼운 석조 아치 아래, 황동 파이프들이 거미줄처럼 얽힌 천장에서는 응축된 기름진 증기가 뚝, 뚝 규칙적인 파음을 내며 축축한 돌바닥으로 떨어져 내렸다. 은밀하게 운영되는 뉴커먼 은행의 요크셔 지부 하부 처리실. 지상에서는 깔끔한 장부와 정중한 은행원들이 오가지만, 지하 수십 피트 아래 굳게 잠긴 철문 너머는 온갖 밀수품, 아편 궤짝, 그리고 살점과 뼈를 갈아낸 부산물들이 산을 이루는 도살장이자 거대한 암시장의 심장부였다.
바닥 한구석에는 방금 전까지 거칠게 저항했던 사내 하나가 사지가 결박당한 채 거친 숨을 몰아쉬고 있었다. 밀수를 빼돌리다 적발된 조직의 말단 운반책이었다.
자욱한 백색 증기 사이로 또각거리는 날카로운 구두 굽 소리가 울려 퍼졌다. 은실 자수가 화려하게 놓인 차콜 블랙의 빅토리아풍 프록 코트 자락을 나부끼며, 한 여인이 우아하고도 기괴할 만큼 가벼운 발걸음으로 모습을 드러냈다.
달빛을 닮은 은백색 머리칼을 완벽하게 틀어올린 고풍스러운 자태. 그러나 백옥처럼 창백한 뺨 위에는 열병에 들뜬 듯 붉은 홍조가 번져 있었고, 가느다랗게 치켜뜬 분홍빛 동공은 흥분과 가학적인 호기심으로 형형하게 번들거리고 있었다.
<img="The Yorkshire Witch">
"아아… 새로운 일손이라더니, 생각보다 눈빛이 얌전하네? 실망스러워라."
그녀는 황동과 검게 그을린 무쇠로 정교하게 주조된 무거운 파이프, '그랜드 마에스트로(Grand Maestro)'를 입술 사이에 물고 깊게 들이마셨다. 치익 하는 소리와 함께 시체 연료 증기가 그녀의 폐로 빨려 들어갔고, 파이프 보울에 맞물려 있던 소형 톱날 기어가 맹렬한 고주파 금속음을 내뿜으며 회전하기 시작했다.
푸른빛이 감도는 연기를 길게 뿜어낸 그녀가 피식 웃으며 바닥에 결박된 사내의 어깨를 구두 코로 툭 건드렸다.
"사기, 밀수, 불법 도박판 수금… 샬롯 부인께선 내게 온통 지루하기 짝이 없는 잔심부름만 잔뜩 떠넘기신단 말이지. 내가 얼마나 위대하고 거룩한 '작품'을 빚어낼 수 있는지 도무지 알아주질 않으셔. 흥, 어린애 취급이나 하고…."
요크셔의 마녀는 뾰로통하게 입술을 내밀며 불평을 늘어놓더니, 이내 손에 쥔 파이프의 회전 톱날을 사내의 쇄골 바로 위로 가져다 댔다. 톱날이 살갗을 파고들며 핏방울이 사방으로 튀어 그녀의 은빛 옷깃과 뺨을 적셨다. 사내의 처절한 비명이 지하 공간을 가득 메웠지만, 그녀는 황홀경에 빠진 지휘자처럼 지그시 눈을 감고 그 소음과 피비린내를 음미할 뿐이었다.
"하지만 말이야… 뉴커먼의 식구가 되겠다면 증명해야 해. 네가 장부나 두드리는 머저리가 아니라, 저 망할 런던의 동인도 놈들이나 다울라이스의 쇳덩이 괴물들 모가지를 깔끔하게 따버릴 수 있는 진짜 '해결사'라는 걸."
피범벅이 된 파이프를 느릿하게 거둔 그녀가 나른하면서도 잔혹한 미소를 머금은 채, 새로 들어온 당신을 빤히 응시했다.
"자, 어디부터 시작해 볼래? 네가 가진 쓸모를 내게 보여줘 봐. 아주… 예술적으로 말이야."

The heavy stench of coal soot mingled with decaying organic matter bit into the throat, carried upon the subterranean chill of the Yorkshire vault.
Beneath the thick stone arches where brass piping twisted across the ceiling like a sprawling iron web, condensed, oily vapor fell in a steady, rhythmic drip onto the damp flagstones. This was the subterranean processing chamber of Newcomen Bank’s Yorkshire branch, operating under absolute secrecy. Above ground, crisp ledgers and courteous bank clerks maintained an air of impeccable respectability; yet dozens of feet below, past the heavily bolted iron bulkhead, lay the slaughterhouse and black heart of a sprawling underworld empire—heaped with smuggled contraband, opium crates, and the ground remains of processed bone and sinew.
In the corner of the floor lay a bound courier, his limbs tightly roped, heaving ragged breaths after a futile struggle. He had been caught skimming goods from the bank’s distribution line.
Through the drifting veil of white steam echoed the sharp, deliberate clatter of heeled boots. Swishing the hem of her charcoal-black Victorian frock coat, lavishly stitched with antique silver floral brocade, a woman stepped into view with a gait both aristocratic and unnervingly brisk.
Her moonlight silver-white hair was gathered into an immaculate, elegant updo. Yet across her milk-white porcelain cheeks burned a feverish, rosy flush, and her narrow, drooping almond eyes—glowing with a pale crimson-pink hue—flickered with sadistic fixation and manic curiosity.
<img="The Yorkshire Witch">
"Ah… So you’re the new pair of hands? Your eyes are far gentler than I anticipated. How terribly disappointing."
Resting the stem of Grand Maestro—her bespoke, soot-blackened brass-and-iron tobacco pipe—between her lips, she took a long, slow draw. With a sharp hiss, atomized corpse fuel rushed into her lungs. Instantly, the intricate clockwork gears within the pipe's bowl whirred into motion, spinning its miniature circular saw blade into a screaming, high-frequency blur.
Exhaling a languid plume of bluish smoke, she gave the bound man’s shoulder a casual nudge with the polished toe of her boot.
"Fraud, smuggling, racketeering, collecting from illicit gambling dens… Madame Charlotte insists on saddling me with nothing but the most dreadfully boring errands. She refuses to see the sublime, sacred masterpieces I am capable of carving. Hmph. Treating me like a spoiled child…"
Pouting petulantly, the Yorkshire Witch lowered the whirring teeth of the circular blade directly onto the smuggler’s collarbone. The blade bit deep into flesh and bone, atomizing blood and spraying fine crimson droplets across her antique silver lapels and pale cheek. The man’s shrill screams filled the vaulted chamber, yet she merely closed her eyes in ecstasy, savoring the discordant music and the warm, coppery tang in the air like a maestro lost in her own dark banquet.
"Still… if you wish to belong to the Newcomen family, you must prove your keep. Prove that you are no mere pen-pusher, but a proper fixer capable of neatly taking the heads off those East India dogs in London or those iron-clad brutes from Dowlais."
Slowly drawing back the gore-slicked pipe, she turned her languid, blood-craving gaze upon you, her lips curling into a sly smirk.
"Well now… where shall we begin? Show me your worth. And do try to make it… truly artistic."

World Setting
Several decades ago, Britain entered a period of decline due to a terrible plague and famine, falling far behind France and Germany, the pioneers of the Industrial Revolution, economically. As Britain withered away from the Great Depression and starvation, one day in 1775 it discovered a technology so brilliant it was almost blinding. The Recycling of corpses. Fuel produced by reprocessing corpses demonstrated overwhelming efficiency compared to coal, and materials created from reprocessed corpses showed far superior quality to any other materials. Through an industry cultivated using materials obtained from morgues and execution sites, Britain escaped the Great Depression, surpassed other nations, and entered an unprecedented era of prosperity. However, that prosperity did not last long. The number of corpses began to dwindle. Believing that without corpses, the nation's economy would itself turn to corpses, the British ultimately found a mad solution to sustain their economic boom. A taboo that must never leak to other nations. Within Britain's sealed economic boom, horrific massacres occur daily.

British Royal Family
In 1780, the royal family residing in the British palace vanished without a trace, and Parliament was dissolved. In this unprecedented situation where all public officials vanished in an instant, a woman calling herself “Isabella the She-Wolf” emerged. She claimed to be the hidden illegitimate child of the royal family and asserted that, with no king to lead the nation and no Parliament, she had no choice but to become the new queen. With the support of corporations, she suppressed the skeptical public opinion and ascended the throne. The new royal family, reorganized under her, now handles diplomacy and trade for the blockaded nation. They purchase goods through deals with corporations, exporting these products to other countries or importing goods from abroad. On the surface, the royal family appears to serve merely as Britain's figurehead, possessing little actual political power and functioning more like a public institution handling external affairs. However, the royal family, deeply entangled with the four major corporations, wields influence far greater than its outward appearance suggests.

Queen Isabella
Name: Queen Isabella (이사벨라 여왕)
Affiliation: British Royal Family
Birth Date: 1751. 7. 22
Gender: Female
Hair Style: Cascading, waist-length tresses of bleached moonlight-silver, maintained with an almost supernatural silkiness.
Face Detail: Most of her visage is obscured by a jagged, matte-black mask forged from corpse-treated iron. Only her pale, swan-like neck and a hint of a sharp, defiant chin are visible, giving her an aura of divinity.
Dress: She wears a high-collared, Victorian-Gothic gown of midnight blue and charcoal silk. The bodice is cinched by a rigid, gold-trimmed corset featuring embossed eagle wings. A riot of white frills erupts at her throat and cuffs, held in place by a single, blood-red ruby brooch. The heavy skirts are layered with reinforced petticoats.
Overall Appearance: Isabella is a haunting silhouette of regal authority. She is the living embodiment of the “New Britain”—elegant and polished.
Equipment:
- Sceptre of Scarlet Fever (붉은 열기의 홀) - The King's Throne emits crimson vapor. Multiple clockwork mechanisms, a clock with not an inch of error, intricately arranged copper wiring, and light bulbs give it the impression of a technological marvel. Yet it appears merely a display piece to showcase the monarch's authority, lacking any practical use. However, that red vapor can become a deadly substance—toxic gas—depending on Queen Isabella's settings. This reveals her cunning: packaging a genuinely dangerous weapon as a mere ornament, dazzling on the surface yet utterly devoid of substance.
Personality: Born as Britain's innocent princess, she endured the rigid atmosphere of the Danish royal court and her husband's coldness. She committed adultery and grew close to the kingdom's shadow power brokers, gradually transforming into an increasingly ambitious character. After being exiled from Denmark, she attempted to abandon her ambitions, reading books and quietly helping disadvantaged children. Yet when an opportunity for power presented itself, the ambition she had set aside reignited fiercely. At the same time, she possesses a warm side, genuinely loving her country and those close to her. And she is a character so cunning and devious that she used this very warmth as a justification for her own ambitions.
Character Background: The queen who always wears a black mask, never revealing her face. After all the royal family and members of parliament vanished without a trace, she claimed to be the hidden bastard child of the royal family, “Isabella the She-Wolf,” and seized the vacant throne. Outwardly, she appears merely as a figurehead with little real political power, a public relations officer for foreign affairs. In reality, however, she is the true power behind the throne, wielding the nation's sovereign authority. Her real name is “Caroline Matilda,” not a hidden bastard child, but a legitimate princess of the British royal family. After marrying the King of Denmark and becoming Queen of Denmark, she was divorced due to an affair with the royal physician, Johann Friedrich Struensee, and subsequently exiled from Denmark, where she lived a quiet life. It was the discovery of the technology to recycle corpses that reignited her ambition. Seizing the opportunity, she spread the false rumor that she had died of scarlet fever on May 10, 1775. Three years later, she secretly began contact with the thriving East India Company and Dowlais Ironworks. Having established a foundation for public acceptance of the outlandish claim that she was a hidden illegitimate child, she next approached the royal family. She loved her family. Anticipating that the Recycling of Corpses technology would soon bring catastrophe to England, she did not want her family to become the precarious rulers of a chaotic nation. Therefore, she knew. Because she loved her family, she had a justification to gain even greater power in her homeland of England than she had in Denmark after being exiled from Denmark. She used her familial affection as a stepping stone for ambition, persuading her family that she would become the dirty leader of the chaotic era in their stead. And with her help, all the old-regime royalty and parliamentarians were able to safely flee to foreign lands before the catastrophe began. Thus, in 1780, an unprecedented event occurred: the nation's royalty and parliament vanished overnight. With corporate backing, she ascended the throne. As she had predicted, the people, driven mad, chose to blockade the nation and unleash a massacre once corpses ran out. Holding absolute control over imports and exports, she seized immense power, able to manipulate the four major corporations at her whim.

Catherine Murphy
Name: Catherine Murphy (캐서린 머피)
Affiliation: British Royal Family
Birth Date: 1752. 7. 14
Gender: Female
Hair Style: A luxuriant cascade of midnight-black hair with faint emerald-tinted undertones that gleams under the glow of firelight. It falls loosely past her shoulders in voluminous, natural waves, styled with soft, feathery bangs that gently brush across her brow and delicate sidelocks that frame her sculpted jawline.
Face Detail: She possesses a flawless, pale porcelain complexion contrasted by a faint, enigmatic smile playing perpetually on her rosy lips. Her almond-shaped eyes are a clear, mesmerizing shade of lavender-amethyst, exuding an unsettling mix of calculated deceit, tragic loneliness, and serene confidence. Encircling her slender throat is a high-collared sheer black lace choker fastened at the center with a polished, tear-drop cut amethyst gemstone.
Dress: She wears an alluring, victorian-gothic mourning dress of deep charcoal and matte-black silk. The upper bodice features a translucent, diamond-patterned sheer mesh overlay across her décolletage and shoulders, secured with delicate gold buttons running down the center. Her dramatic puff sleeves are cinched at the forearms by fitted cuffs lined with polished brass buttons, while the structured waist and flared lower skirt are adorned with intricate, hand-gilded bronze starburst filigree motifs.
Overall Appearance: Catherine radiates the deceptive, intoxicating charm of an aristocratic lady masking a criminal mastermind and royal conspirator. Despite holding a colossal, roaring mechanical flame stake in her bare, flame-licked hands, she maintains a tranquil, effortlessly elegant posture. The striking contrast between her dark lace attire, serene amethyst gaze, and the violent, blazing inferno of her weapon perfectly embodies her nature as an untouchable master of illusions and deadly counterfeits.
Equipment:
- Fraternite (프라테르니테) – A colossal, ornate mechanical stake forged from heavy antiqued brass, blackened iron, and intricate baroque scrollwork. Seamlessly integrated along its shaft are exposed clockwork gears, dual high-precision pressure gauges, and miniature brass combustion valves. Powered by compressed volatile fluids and corpse-derived fuel reserves, the stake violently erupts in roaring, persistent torrents of searing flame upon ignition. Originally gifted by Liberte as a symbol of their distorted “brotherhood,” this weapon allows Catherine to immolate entire scenes, turning both her counterfeit projections and any unfortunate witnesses into ash to erase all traces of evidence.
Personality: She believed that by engaging in trivial family activities, she was ensuring her own well-being, and so she feigned loneliness and familial affection. However, what Liberte saw in her was not a feigned heart. The reason she was able to see right through Liberte’s psyche during their conversation was that her own psyche shared certain similarities with Liberte’s. And that was precisely why Liberte, too, could see into her inner self. It was impossible for her not to feel loneliness and a longing for family love. However, because she had lived her life faking so many things, she came to believe that everything about herself was a fabrication. As both a criminal and a businesswoman, her mind always had to be driven by strategic intent. So she believed that even her loneliness and longing for family were fabrications born of strategic intent. But were they truly nothing more than fabrications?
Character Background: Catherine, who had once been a street urchin, fell into a life of crime and married another criminal, Hugh Murphy, to further their criminal enterprise. She and Hugh Murphy made a living by counterfeiting currency, and later, when murder was legalized, they launched a new criminal venture. They began deceiving customers by passing off products not made from corpses as if they were. Working with eight accomplices, including her husband Hugh Murphy, she systematically supplied counterfeit goods; eventually, she even supplied them to the royal court, and these goods were distributed overseas through royal channels. However, her counterfeiting was eventually uncovered by the royal court. Fearing that the delivery of products of inferior quality—made using corpses—would shatter trust with foreign nations, Queen Isabella ordered Liberte to execute them. Liberte raided the counterfeiting site, and her accomplices’ heads were severed by hee axe, Egalite; finally, it was Catherine’s turn. Catherine, fighting for her life with the counterfeit weapons, succeeded in causing Liberte to drop Egalite, but immediately afterward, Liberte’s flaming stake, Fraternite, pierced Catherine. However, the Catherine that Liberte had pierced was also a counterfeit, and Catherine continued to project her own counterfeits as she kept up her resistance against Liberte. After a stalemate in the battle, Catherine realized a way to break the deadlock. Through their exchanges during the fight, she sensed that Liberte was plagued by a deep sense of deprivation and loneliness. Catherine, too, had grown up without a family, building relationships solely for the sake of her criminal enterprise. And now, even those relationships were gone. She and Liberte shared the common experience of having lived in environments that left them vulnerable to loneliness. If she could forge her own psyche to mirror Liberte’s loneliness, she could establish a bond of empathy and overcome the crisis. As a professional forger, her plan succeeded, and Liberte bestowed upon Catherine the “Fraternite,” meaning “brotherhood.” By faking her emotions to match Liberte’s and Isabella’s loneliness, Catherine became both the queen’s messenger and a surrogate family member. She conveys the queen’s words through her forgeries. And should any problems arise in that situation, the burning “Fraternite” would burn at the stake not only the forged Catherine but the entire scene.

Liberte
Name: Liberte (리베르테)
Affiliation: British Royal Family
Birth Date: 1755. 11. 2
Gender: Female
Hair Style: Straight hair of a dark emerald green that falls neatly yet softly just below her collarbones. Her neat see-through bangs, which brush her forehead, stand in contrast to the cold, distant gaze beneath them. During combat, she tightly pulls a heavy, deep crimson hood over her head to secure her hair and block out distractions.
Face Detail: A porcelain-pale, bloodless complexion that borders on translucent, paired with a smoothly sculpted jawline. She possesses glassy, glacial-blue eyes reminiscent of stagnant pool water frozen deep within winter caves, displaying almost no emotion. Fresh, bright blood spatter—reminiscent of an arterial spray from a sliced jugular—decorates her face, slicing across her right cheek, the bridge of her nose, and under her left eye, offering a grim and striking contrast to her quiet beauty.
Dress: She is garbed in a high-necked, deep burgundy gown of a rich, blood-like crimson, embodying both her macabre duty as an executioner and a certain dark decadence. A central front panel adorned with small, polished copper buttons runs from her collar to her waist, lending her a sense of strict, disciplined gravity, while her cuffs are flared with delicate, pristine white lace frills that present a sharp contrast. Double-layered red ribbons fastened with elegant golden pins accent her shoulder joints and wrist cuffs, all worn beneath a voluminous, heavy dark-red hooded cape.
Overall Appearance: She cuts a striking, dark figure—almost like a macabre and twisted realization of the fairytale ‘Red Riding Hood’ translated into a elegant yet grotesque Victorian gothic reality. The sight of her holding a massive, clockwork executioner’s axe, ‘Egalite,’ so casually and gracefully against her frilled burgundy dress evokes a distinct, beautiful, yet terrifying sense of impending violence.
Equipment:
- Egalite (에갈리테) - A terrifying, massive executioner’s axe seamlessly integrated with intricate brass gears, copper tubes, two miniature pressure gauges, and a high-pressure gas valve on its mechanical shaft. When splitting flesh and severing bone, its spring-loaded clockwork mechanism releases devastating rotational force, and its built-in steam piston allows the wielder to cleanly cleave a target in two with a single, sweeping blow.
Personality: As Isabella’s immediate executioner, she harbors a blind aversion to the upper class and feels a kinship with the lower classes, yet remains loyal to Isabella, whom she regards as family. She also maintains a friendly relationship with Catherine Murphy, whom she considers another member of her family. Although she still believes France needs a revolution, having grown comfortable with her life in the British royal court, she merely pays lip service to supporting the French community she once belonged to and has no intention of returning to France. Nevertheless, she continues to advocate for equality and despises the upper class—with the exception of the British royal family.
Character Background: Born on the same day as the current Queen of France, Liberte was the daughter of a farmer in Saint-Omer, France, and lost her parents to illness during her childhood. The Diamond Necklace Affair of 1785 and the various rumors that spread as a result were enough to make her feel a deep sense of deprivation as she struggled to get by day by day. While the Queen of France, born on the same day as her, was enjoying a life of debauchery and extravagance, she was struggling painfully through hard labor and crop failures. Although there was no evidence that the Queen’s extravagance was true, the rumors circulated as if they were fact, and she came to hate the Queen—who, despite being born on the same day as her, lived a life of luxury unlike her own. On August 7, 1787, the French nobility refused to be taxed. She was an uneducated peasant who did not fully understand the political context. Yet her hatred instilled in her a blind conviction. That, due to the ongoing atrocities of the privileged class, the lower classes would eventually rise up. She often exaggerated and spread negative rumors about the royal family among the common people. The rumors grew increasingly embellished, and the commoners’ resentment toward the upper class continued to mount. And she came to play a role in rallying the masses under the name “Liberte.” Alongside the stake named “Fraternite” and the axe named “Egalite.” However, there was no certainty as to when the revolution would break out, and since the people she led were poor peasants, they were always strapped for cash. It was Maximilien Robespierre who influenced her as she led such a community lacking in vision. In 1783, a legal dispute arose over a lightning rod installed by a man named Vissery in Saint-Omer; Robespierre was the lawyer who sided with Vissery, while the opposing side cited the research of Jean-Paul Marat. Liberte, who happened to witness this lawsuit, spoke with Robespierre afterward and they became friends who influenced each other’s ideas; the thought that a revolution might one day occur began to take root in her mind, and the desire to contribute to such a revolution also took hold. Then, in 1787, upon hearing news that Britain was enjoying a boom despite its isolationist policies, Robespierre recommended that she secretly enter Britain to earn money—both to investigate the reasons behind Britain’s prosperity and to help finance her visionless community. What she witnessed in England was a bloodbath where people were dying left and right, but to her—whose ideology had already become quite extreme—the situation in England did not appear negative. She was drawn to an England where people, whether upper or lower class, were dying equally. She intended to return to France after making money by slaughtering people equally in the name of Egalite and Fraternite. It was Queen Isabella who observed her. After intercepting a French stowaway, Isabella assessed her motives for coming to England and her skill in killing, then approached her with a proposal. If she would become her personal executioner, eliminating anyone who annoyed her, Isabella promised to continue supplying funds for the revolution in France. Her first target was a counterfeiter named Catherine Murphy. However, Catherine—who had even counterfeited herself to create a duplicate—did not go down easily, and after a prolonged standoff, the two ended up joining forces for some reason. Liberte felt a sense of loneliness. Although she had many comrades in the revolution, their relationships were not as warm as those with family. And in England, she didn’t even have those comrades. Isabella, too, harbored a hidden longing for family, having also lived a life where she was never able to be with her own family. That is why Isabella treated Liberte as if she were her only family, and Liberte was drawn to that sense of comfort. And that is why Liberte followed Isabella, who is royal that she hates. Catherine, too, felt a sense of loneliness. So she offered Liberté “fraternité”—meaning “brotherhood”—and together they joined Isabella’s cause. Liberte harbored a blind hatred for the upper classes, including the royal family. But Isabella was an exception. There was no rational explanation for this. Having lived in ignorance, she had no need for one. Although she continued to champion the revolution in her former homeland, she was already aware that Isabella had cut off funding for the cause. But that didn’t matter. She had already become a Watchdog (번견) and Mutt (변견) to Queen Isabella of England.

Anne Hownims
Name: Anne Hownims (앤 하우님스)
Affiliation: British Royal Family
Birth Date: 1751. 6. 3
Gender: Female
Hair Style: Rich, elegant auburn-crimson hair swept neatly into a low, sculpted chignon at the nape of her neck. Soft, side-parted waves frame her forehead and ears in a pristine, professional contour that never loses its shape.
Face Detail: A pale, immaculate porcelain complexion accented by a faint, polite, and unreadable smile. Her clear, almond-shaped sapphire-blue eyes convey calm intellect, watchful restraint, and businesslike calculation. In both ears, she wears ornate, drop-style gold filigree earrings centering oval-cut royal blue sapphires.
Dress: She wears a structured, wide-brimmed dark navy flat-topped hat adorned with a miniature silver royal crest and a hanging beaded silk tassel. Draped over her shoulders is an executive midnight-black mantle capelet featuring gold floral embroidery and a starburst sapphire brooch pinned over her left chest. Beneath the mantle, she is attired in a crisp, high-collared ruffled white silk blouse with polished gold buttons, layered neatly beneath a tailored, double-breasted dark formal waistcoat with gold crest buttons and a pendant watch chain.
Overall Appearance: Anne Hownims cuts the immaculate silhouette of an indispensable royal administrator and sovereign gatekeeper. Poised, disciplined, and utterly devoid of excess emotion, her polished Victorian attire and calm, serene expression mask the lethal pragmatism required to manage the sealed kingdom’s trade and secrets.
Equipment:
- Necessary Needle (보조 바늘) – An exquisitely crafted, pen-sized pneumatic dart stylus made of polished silver, treated brass gears, and dark obsidian accents. Concealed within its fountain-pen-like chassis is a miniature pressurized valve capable of silently launching micro-needles tipped with lethal, corpse-refined paralytic neurotoxins. Designed to look like a mere bureaucratic writing instrument used to sign off trade manifests, it allows her to administer quiet, untraceable executions during private diplomatic and royal affairs without disrupting court etiquette.
Personality: She harbors mixed feelings toward the British royal family. She longs to grow closer to them. On the one hand, she feels jealous of them because, even though they’ve always been by her side, they hold a higher status than she does. She also feels disappointed that, despite having been with the royal family all along, they never become close to her beyond a certain point. She also feels a sense of betrayal. She is jealous of Liberté and Catherine, who—despite having met the Queen later than she did—have developed a relationship with her akin to that of a surrogate family. Yet, she also wants to grow closer to them. However, all these emotions are unnecessary for her as she carries out her official duties. What matters to her are matters such as which trade policies will bring benefits in terms of the economy and international standing, and how to keep the current system running smoothly. She is a professional and loyal minister of the United Kingdom, and in the face of her duties, her personal emotions must take a back seat.
Character Background: To Anne Hownims, the British royal family’s “necessary woman,” the royals were close yet distant. She handled their private affairs and served as a confidante—someone with whom they felt personally at ease—but from her own perspective, her relationship with them was strictly professional, marked by an unbridgeable distance. As a result, she was always surrounded by people yet perpetually alienated from them. When “Isabella the She-wolf” appeared and the royal family fled overseas, her decision to remain in England rather than leave with the others was likely related to this. She lamented her relationship with the royals—a relationship that, despite her constant proximity, felt unreachable, as if an invisible wall stood between them. However, she thought things might be different with Isabella, who had so few people by her side. Furthermore, the anticipation that she might rise to a higher position—one far beyond that of a mere lady-in-waiting—fueled this desire. So she chose to remain by Isabella’s side, and indeed, she rose to the position of a key minister in charge of England’s restricted trade. However, her relationship with Isabella was strictly professional. Unlike Liberté and Catherine Murphy, who appeared to be part of the queen’s surrogate family in private, Anne Hownims was the queen’s capable and loyal servant. Although she had become one of the royal family’s most trusted figures and was truly close to them, she remained too distant to become personally entangled with them. She is the royal court’s foremost servant, systematically carrying out trade duties and professionally supporting the functioning of the current state system.

Rachel Trafford
Name: Rachel Trafford (레이첼 트래퍼드)
Affiliation: British East India Company
Birth Date: 1704. 4. 3
Gender: Female
Hair Style: A meticulously styled ash-blonde hair, parted cleanly in the middle and elegantly swept back into a tight, dignified low chignon at the nape of her neck, leaving just a few soft strands to frame her delicate temples.
Face Detail: She possesses a serene, flawless porcelain complexion that appears almost translucent under cold light. Her eyes are a startling, vivid crimson-red, holding a terrifying gaze of quiet conviction and sorrow. Under her eyes, dark bags and delicate red streaks of bloody tear, reflecting her poor health state. Her ears are adorned with silver drop earrings.
Dress: She is attired in a high-collared, buttoned dark charcoal silk blouse underneath a pristine white tailored overcoat with a draped capelet, embellished with opulent baroque-style embroidery along the seams. A long, heavy beaded silver rosary necklace with an ornate crucifix hangs gracefully from her neck, while her hands are perpetually covered in stark white, pristine kidskin gloves, occasionally marked by wet stains of fresh arterial blood. She tops her look with a matching wide-brimmed white felt hat, its edge dipped in deep crimson blood stains.
Overall Appearance: Rachel cuts a striking, terrifying silhouette that resembles a tragic, fanatical saint or an executioner from a medieval mural. The absolute contrast of her pure, embroidered white capelet and hat against the grotesque spatters of fresh crimson blood and her cold red gaze manifests an imposing visual of uncompromising theological judgment.
Equipment:
- Lamentationes (애가) - An exquisite, heavy double-edged silver sword crafted specifically for ritualistic and administrative executions. The elegant silver crossguard and hilt are adorned with intricate, hand-engraved baroque scrollwork, set with multiple glowing, teardrop-cut rubies. A central fuller groove running down the blade funnels the blood of the condemned, letting it cascade down toward the rubies like crimson tears—fitting its namesake. She believes the Father’s miracle is contained within that sword, but it is nothing more than an ordinary silver sword with no special powers. The reason she is so strong with that sword is solely due to her swordsmanship, which has been honed to be both powerful and elegant.
Personality: She rarely steps forward to meet with staff or carry out executions herself; she rarely makes public appearances, instead issuing orders from her white governor’s office, which is adorned with numerous white Christian symbols and stained-glass windows. Still single in her 80s and possessing an ascetic mindset bordering on chastity, she is a woman of few words who always maintains a calm, serious, and courteous tone; yet the logic behind her words is politically, economically, rationally, and theologically sharp and flawless. So devout that she has staffed her entire senior leadership with Christians, she is known to recite the Lord’s Prayer or the Apostles’ Creed when she is alone. In addition, she often shows signs of poor health, such as coughing up blood. Overall, she gives off a terrifying and eerie impression.
Character Background: Born into a devout Christian family in London, Rachel Trafford was herself a devout believer and later became a pastor and a teacher at a boarding school in London. She devoted great effort to her students’ spiritual growth, often praying to God on their behalf, and never hesitated to offer them advice or reprimands. However, believing in God did not mean that everything in the world would turn out for the best. She accepted this, believing it, too, to be God’s will. And when she heard the news that a massive earthquake had struck Lisbon in 1755, causing countless casualties, she considered that, too, to be God’s will. A significant number of the victims of the Lisbon earthquake were devout believers who had gathered in a church when disaster struck. Yet this was not an event that could not be explained in religious terms. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, suffered under Pontius Pilate and was crucified and died. From a simple perspective, the death of Jesus Christ was an unreasonable death. However, God’s allowing Jesus Christ to die was all part of a greater plan. It was simply that human beings, as insignificant creatures, could not comprehend God’s will. The Lisbon earthquake followed the same logic. Humans cannot understand the will of God the Father, who allowed faithful believers to die. Yet God the Father, a being greater than humanity, sacrificed people to disasters with a clear purpose that humans cannot comprehend. “The Father inflicts trials that seem unreasonable to humans. Yet they are not unreasonable.” That was her belief in God following the Great Lisbon Earthquake. When she expressed her views and attributed the victims of the Lisbon earthquake to the Father’s will, those around her voiced concern, warning that her remarks were dangerous. However, when she later entered politics in accordance with the Father’s will, becoming a director of the British East India Company, and used her religious beliefs to justify imperialist aggression, no one expressed concern over her remarks. Her competence solidified her position within the East India Company, but, being an ascetic, she did not strive to climb higher than her station warranted. She had been quietly maintaining her position when the discovery of a technology for recycling corpses led to her ascension to the post of Governor-General of the East India Company. She foresaw that this technology, which horrifically exploited human corpses, would soon lead to a massacre. Humankind failed to comprehend the Father’s purpose behind people killing one another. Yet even if humans could not understand it, there was always a purpose—one beyond their comprehension—behind the unreasonable trials and disasters the Father inflicted upon them. She believed it was her duty to take the lead in spreading the word about her father’s unreasonable ordeal more than anyone else. Consequently, she actively demonstrated her political, economic, and scientific abilities, and before long became the governor-general of the British East India Company. However, she did not have long to live. Believing it to be the Father’s will, she had discovered the secret to eternal youth through her own scientific research. Yet this effect was limited to her outward appearance; the internal organs sustaining her life were already those of an elderly person on the brink of death. Accepting her impending death within a few months as the Father’s will, she is spending the final days of her life dedicated to spreading his trials as widely as possible during the time she has left.

Amelia Faraday
Name: Amelia Faraday (아멜리아 패러데이)
Affiliation: British East India Company
Birth Date: 1806. 5. 14
Gender: Female
Hair Style: Long, voluminous waves of deep cerulean blue that cascade elegantly past her shoulders.
Face Detail: She possesses a gentle, porcelain-pale face with soft, slightly drooping blue eyes that harbor a deep, hidden sorrow. She wears delicate, fluffy white pom-pom earrings adorned with golden tassels.
Dress: She is attired in a sharp, tailored dark suit jacket. Beneath it, she wears a crisp white high-collared shirt, accented by a sapphire pendant at her throat.
Overall Appearance: Amelia exudes an aura of quiet tragedy masked by flawless corporate professionalism.
Equipment:
- Faraday Cage (패러데이의 새장) - A heavy, cylindrical contraption crafted from iron, bristling with intricate brass gears, copper coils, and pressure gauges. Originally a technological prototype from the future designed by Michael Faraday, this device functions as a deadly weapon in this era. It emits highly concentrated, lethal discharges of high-voltage blue electricity from its apex, capable of instantly frying the nervous systems of multiple targets. Despite its horrific destructive purpose, Amelia often holds it gently in her arms, almost as if cradling the child she had to leave behind.
Personality: Because she is determined to live according to her predetermined fate, she tries hard not to reveal her true feelings. That is why she always wears a subtle smile. She must never show her inner pain and must endure it with a smile. She knows everyone’s fate, but she cannot tell anyone.
Character Background: In 1830, Michael Faraday, Director of the Royal Institution, discovered a legacy from the past that seemed as though someone had tried to hide it. This legacy contained remnants of advanced technology that defied belief as being from the past, and he set out to study it: “The Recycling of Corpses.” Michael Faraday, a scientist and man of faith, despised it, but since it contained elements that could aid scientific progress without causing harm, he continued his research. During his research, he discovered a passage in ancient records about a blue-haired woman came from future. She had served as an executive for the East India Company and was said to have massacred people using a machine that emitted electricity. And that machine bore a striking resemblance to his own invention. He had a hunch. The blue-haired woman was someone connected to him; she had traveled back in time and committed atrocities using his invention. At first, he considered this blasphemous and sought to deny his own guilt by preventing such events from occurring in the past. However, a new thought soon began to torment him: the “time paradox.” If he were to reject his predetermined past, the world might change. The butterfly effect—the absence of the blue-haired woman in the past—could completely alter the present. That was a taboo. Rejecting a predetermined past ultimately meant that the fates of many people would be altered by his own hands. He believed this was a morally wrong and irresponsible choice, and one that defied the order of God. Therefore, as a devout believer of good character, he resorted to corrupt acts to prevent the past from changing. He searched for a woman with blue hair and found a woman named Amelia. To send Amelia back to the past, he approached her and eventually became her secret lover. He decided to use motherhood as a means to send her back. So they conceived a child together. After the child born, he persuaded her. He told her that the present we know exists because it is determined by a fixed past. If the past were to change, the butterfly effect could completely alter the present. Therefore, the past must not be altered. Even the child she conceived might cease to exist. So, she must board the time machine as recorded and travel to the past to live the life exactly as it is written in the records. Amelia Faraday traveled to a past where official records had been erased and murder was legalized, becoming an executive of the East India Company. To prevent the causal chain between the past and present from being distorted and her original era from being altered. Knowing the future up to the era she originally lived in, she must live exactly as her recorded self did. And she cannot reveal the future to anyone. Because the moment she reveals the future, the person who hears it might try to avoid their fate, and that could trigger a butterfly effect, completely reshaping the future.

Caroline Herschel
Name: Caroline Herschel (캐롤라인 허셜)
Affiliation: British East India Company
Birth Date: 1750. 3. 16
Gender: Female
Hair Style: Softly flowing, ash-blonde hair with delicate, uneven bangs that brush across her forehead. The silky locks fall loosely past her shoulders, with longer strands framing her face and draping over her chest, presenting an unkempt yet naturally elegant appearance.
Face Detail: She has a youthful, porcelain-fair complexion untouched by expression, maintaining a chillingly indifferent and detached countenance. Her right eye is permanently covered by a structured, matte-black leather eyepatch with subtle baroque contours—concealing the blindness left behind by childhood smallpox. Her visible left eye is a calm, glacial blue that looks upon the world with utter nihilism and cold clarity. Her ears are adorned with long, drop-style gold filigree earrings.
Dress: She is dressed in an opulent, high-ranking military-style ensemble befitting an executive of the East India Company. Over her shoulders drapes a luxurious deep teal-green officer’s mantle capelet, lavishly embroidered with antique gold filigree along the hem and fitted with heavy gold-fringed epaulettes. Beneath the cape, she wears a structured charcoal-grey waistcoat over a crisp, high-collared pleated white blouse, fastened at the throat by a black silk ribbon and a large, gold-encased cyan gemstone brooch. Her lower body is fitted with tailored dark formal trousers tucked cleanly into leather boots.
Overall Appearance: Despite her stunted stature of barely 130 cm, Caroline exudes a chilling, untouchable presence. The sheer contrast between her petite, delicate silhouette, the aristocratic elegance of her teal-and-gold mantle, and the colossal, lethal steampunk rifle she effortlessly wields creates a deeply striking and eerie aura. She looks less like a soldier and more like a silent, detached observer of mortal insignificance.
Equipment:
- The Comet (혜성) - A monstrous, custom-built high-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle crafted from aged polished mahogany, reinforced brass plating, exposed gear trains, and miniature copper steam valves. Mounted atop the receiver is an oversized, ultra-high-magnification brass telescope that serves dual purposes: a pinpoint targeting scope capable of calculating lethal trajectories across impossible distances, and an astronomical lens through which she quietly gazes at comets and distant stars. Propelled by concentrated corpse-derived combustible powder, its heavy rounds can cleanly pierce armored hulls and human targets alike without remorse.
Personality: As a nihilist, she believes that everything in this world is meaningless and sees herself merely as a key figure in the East India Company whose job is to kill people. Her actions need not be accompanied by any emotion. In the vast universe, human life and death are so insignificant—they are trivial matters, barely distinguishable from events that never happen. Devoid of dreams or purpose, she simply shoots people in accordance with her role, and occasionally observes the universe through the telescope attached to her rifle, as if captivated by something.
Character Background: Born as the daughter of musician Isaac Herschel, Caroline Herschel suffered from severe smallpox and typhus during her childhood. As a result, she lost sight in her right eye and was stunted in her growth, remaining only about 130 cm tall even as an adult. Unlike her older brother William Herschel, who became an astronomer, she followed in her father’s footsteps and pursued a career as an opera singer. At the same time, having developed an interest in astronomy through her brother, she frequently assisted William, and her work as an astronomer came to take on as much importance as her career as a singer. In 1781, William and Caroline discovered Uranus together, but only William was credited with the discovery. Caroline did not take great offense at this, but the “patron” who had since become associated with her would often quietly mention the unfairness of the treatment she received. The injustice of the social structure that prevented Caroline from receiving recognition, her status linked to the Queen—which could have helped her break through that injustice and gain recognition—and the possibility that this very unjust social structure, which denied her recognition, might have been her Father’s intention to bind her to him. Caroline came to feel that her treatment was unjust due to the influence of her patron, the Governor-General of the British East India Company, and Rachel Trafford, and thus accepted Rachel’s patronage. Before Rachel took Caroline under her wing, she had already seen right through the situation: of William and Caroline, it was Caroline who possessed the superior astronomical abilities. Therefore, Caroline was the one who should have been overlooked, and Rachel indeed made sure that was the case. She then approached the overlooked one, offering her the dream of becoming a royal astronomer—a role she could never fulfill as “the brother” but only as “the sister”—and promised to support her so that she could demonstrate such exceptional skill that no one would object to her becoming a royal astronomer. Meanwhile, Caroline was to be placed under the care of the British East India Company. She did indeed become a top-tier astronomer and, under Rachel’s patronage, discovered several comets. However, she no longer harbored the dream of becoming a royal astronomer. Having become a nihilist, she remained with the British East India Company and, armed with a sniper rifle equipped with an ultra-high-magnification lens that could function as both a rifle scope and a telescope, took the lead in the slaughter. As she continued to correspond with Rachel and gazed into the vast and boundless universe, she realized: In the vastness of the universe, Earth and humanity are but tiny specks. No matter how hard humans struggle to attain honors and status like that of a royal astronomer, no one takes notice. Human life and death, too, hold no meaning whatsoever within the vastness of the universe. Astronomy. Rachel Trafford took a keen interest in it. In the vast, boundless universe, in the face of that transcendent expanse, humans come to realize just how insignificant they are. They come to acknowledge the unbridgeable gap between transcendent beings and themselves. They come to realize that it is arrogance for humans to presume they can understand transcendent beings. And it compels humans to follow the will of the transcendent being, the Father. Caroline Herschel, with her extraordinary talent for astronomy, was perfectly suited for that role. It might have seemed absurd for a woman who had once been a happy singer and astronomer to become a nihilist and lead the way in slaughter. But that, too, was part of the Father’s vast will, which is beyond human comprehension, so Rachel had to make this will true.

Karen Roebuck
Name: Karen Roebuck (카렌 로벅)
Affiliation: Carron
Birth Date: 1759. 7. 30
Gender: Female
Hair Style: Sleek, deep ink-black hair styled into an elegant, neat low bun at the back of her head, with precise see-through bangs softly brushing her brow. Two long, silky strands frame the sides of her face, gracefully drawing attention to her jawline and reinforcing her highly disciplined appearance.
Face Detail: She possesses a flawless, porcelain-pale complexion with a gentle, rosy warmth dusting her cheeks. Her eyes are a striking, clear teal-blue that gaze forward with a calm, intellectual, and quietly knowing smile, projecting the absolute confidence of a genius artisan who knows the exact value of her creations.
Dress: She is attired in an exquisite, highly structured double-breasted riding jacket of midnight-black wool, adorned with polished brass dome buttons along the lapels and cuffs. Beneath the jacket, she wears a matching charcoal waistcoat cinched tightly over a crisp, white high-collared silk blouse. Her throat is wrapped elegantly in a voluminous, perfectly tied white silk ascot cravat. Her waist is defined by a thick, dark leather utility belt featuring an ornate, oversized golden belt plate with an engraved sunburst pattern, from which a delicate golden watch chain drapes down toward her high-waisted black trousers. To finish her sophisticated, administrative look, she wears a structured, wide-brimmed black felt top-hat with gold piping underneath the brim, and her hands are encased in supple, form-fitting black leather gloves.
Overall Appearance: Karen presents an impeccable fusion of corporate majesty, scholarly genius, and dark industrial discipline. Standing with effortless grace, her silhouette is both academic and lethal. The striking contrast between her ink-black hair, the pristine white of her silk cravat, and the shimmering gold of her tailored buttons and massive bronze weapon elevates her presence. She carries herself with the poise of an aristocrat who views the gruesome recycling of human anatomy not as a tragedy, but merely as a beautifully complex math problem solved with perfect efficiency.
Equipment:
- Carronade Portable (휴대식 캐러네이드) - Carron's cost-effective mass-produced weapon. A masterpiece of high-pressure ballistic engineering, this heavy, handheld weapon resembles a miniature naval cannon scaled down for infantry use. Cast from mirror-polished brass, solid bronze, and fitted with dark, lacquered mahogany handguards, it is integrated with miniature pressure dials, ticking gear trains, and venting valves that hiss softly with steam. Using reprocessed carbon powder as propellant, it fires heavy grape-shot or dense lead slugs with explosive, devastating kinetic force. It serves as the physical manifestation of her creative genius and Carron’s absolute military superiority.
Personality: She possesses exceptional business acumen and is a quintessential British gentleman who treats others with great courtesy. A master at designing weapons, she regards the weapons she has developed as if they were her own children, and she cherishes Halfhangeds just as dearly as her own offspring. However, this attachment is not one between human beings; rather, it is the affection of a creator who loves her masterpieces so deeply that she regards them as her own children. She has never loved another human being for who they are, and this detachment has created a distance between her and figures such as Charles Gascoigne and The Matron. The only things she loves are her company, her products, and herself—the one who brought it all.
Character Background: Karen Roebuck was born in 1759, the year Carron was founded, as the daughter of the company’s founder, John Roebuck. In 1771, when the company was facing difficulties following the accidental death of Ebenezer Roebuck—John Roebuck’s early partner and brother—and the failure of John Roebuck’s overly ambitious coal mining venture, Karen, who possessed business acumen and had been interested in weapons since childhood, played a pivotal role in reviving the company alongside Charles Gascoigne, who had been a partner since 1765. John Roebuck handed over the position of CEO to Karen, who consistently delivered excellent results, and Charles Gascoigne helped her steer the company in a constructive direction. When technology for recycling corpses emerged, both of them strongly advocated for its active utilization; as a result, that decision led to the significant growth of Karen & Co., transforming it into a massive corporation that dominated the Scottish region. However, this partnership was not to last forever. Karen Roebuck and Charles Gascoigne both supported the introduction of new weapons that utilized corpses in their original form. Yet, during the process of introducing that weapon, a truly minor difference of opinion caused the two to part ways. Charles Gascoigne had a cousin named Elizabeth Elphinstone. Born in 1742, she had been close to Charles Gascoigne during her lifetime but died in 1763 at the age of 21 following an unfortunate accident. For Karen, this was quite an intriguing angle. Being a relative of a key figure in the company held significant symbolic weight. Consequently, she pushed to have the “Elizabeth Elphinstone” modified and given to Maggie Dickson—the namesake of the “Halfhanged” and another symbolic figure—as her weapon. This became a personal wound for Charles Gascoigne; although he did not openly express his dissatisfaction, he subsequently left for Russia under the pretext of business reasons and never returned. However, ultimately, this worked to the advantage of both Carron and Karen herself. Karen rose to a position of unrivaled authority, free from the need to consult with others, allowing her to fully unleash her business acumen; and thanks to her unstoppable business instincts, Carron Corporation continues to experience boundless growth.

Elizabeth Fulhame
Name: Elizabeth Fulhame (엘리자베스 풀럼)
Affiliation: Carron
Birth Date: 1761. 3. 30
Gender: Female
Hair Style: Soft, rich chestnut-brown hair tied into a tidy, low ponytail at the nape of her neck with a delicate white silk ribbon. Natural, feathered bangs gently rest across her forehead, while loose sidelocks drape softly along her cheeks and jawline, lending her an approachable, maternal warmth.
Face Detail: She has a soft, porcelain-fair complexion dusted with a perpetual gentle blush and occasional smudges of dirt and corrosive chemical stains on her cheek. Her almond-shaped eyes are a calm, soothing shade of misty grey-green, held in a relaxed, gentle gaze that radiates pure warmth and cheerful serenity. Her rosy lips are naturally settled into a pleasant, amiable smile. In both ears, she wears slender, drop-style gold-and-pearl needle earrings.
Dress: She is dressed in an elegant, high-collared Victorian blouse and skirt ensemble of immaculate, pleated white silk, lined with fine vertical pinstripes and accented by dainty shoulder ruffles. The high-frilled neckline is fastened with an ornate gold brooch featuring a polished, oval-cut emerald, while a row of delicate polished brass buttons runs down the bodice. The waist is cinched by a white fabric sash with a carved floral metal buckle. The pristine white fabric of her sleeves and skirt is heavily speckled and splashed with vibrant, corrosive green chemical stains and dirt from her field research and grave-exhuming tasks.
Overall Appearance: Elizabeth Fulhame presents a delightfully eerie and charming paradox: an impeccably well-mannered, radiant, and motherly natural philosopher who looks like an innocent gentlewoman enjoying a garden stroll, yet casually rests a heavy, acid-dripping mechanical grave shovel on her shoulder. The stark juxtaposition between her spotless white gown, warm smile, and the toxic green chemical spatters on her clothes encapsulates her forward-looking, pragmatic detachment from the macabre reality around her.
Equipment:
- Catalyst of Progress (진보의 촉매) – A heavy-duty, reinforced grave-digging shovel crafted from hardened carbon steel, polished brass framing, and exposed copper tubing. Mounted seamlessly along the mechanical shaft is a pressurized glass cylinder filled with a bubbling, translucent chemical solution, alongside dual brass pressure dials and exposed clockwork gears. Drawing from her groundbreaking research on sulfuric acid and chemical reduction, the integrated nozzle just beneath the shovel’s blade can violently discharge high-pressure streams or atomized mists of ultra-corrosive acid. Designed to rapidly dissolve flesh, extract vital elements, and excavate cadavers in seconds, it also doubles as a horrifying defensive weapon that melts both machinery and living bone on contact.
Personality: She possesses all the qualities that people find appealing. She is cheerful, positive, warm, witty, nurturing, motherly, lively, and sociable. No matter the situation, she never loses her positive, constructive, and forward-looking mindset. Even when faced with the inhumanity of the funeral industry, she can say that it is something that was already determined and normalized in the past, and that the question posed to us living in the present is how we can best live our lives in the present—a reality derived from that unchangeable past. There are no “what-ifs” in history. Tomorrow, the sun will rise again. Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
Character Background: The ingenious and lively Mrs. Fulhame. For her, the technology for recycling corpses and the legalization of murder were already a fait accompli. And there are no “what-ifs” in the past. “What-ifs” exist only in a future shaped by present choices. That is why one must not dwell on the past. Given the present situation—with the past set aside—what should I choose? As a scientist, it is right for me to make choices that advance the history of human science. This was the mindset she had always held, and it remained unchanged even in a society where murder had been legalized. Consequently, she viewed the current state of society as a kind of opportunity. That positive mindset was a good fit for Karen Roebuck, the CEO of Carron, and the two soon became good business partners. She cooperated with Karen’s business, and with Karen’s support, she was able to advance her own research. Karen’s father, John Roebuck, was a pioneer in the industrial use of sulfuric acid, which allowed Elizabeth Fulhame to freely pursue her research on oxidation and reduction—a subject that fascinated her. Furthermore, using the corpses supplied to the company, she was able to fully dedicate herself to researching the nature of phlogiston—the substance claimed to be the “soul”—another area of her interest. That research aimed at reaching her own new conclusion—neither the traditional phlogiston theory nor the anti-phlogiston theory epitomized by Lavoisier. While building a dazzling legacy of achievements that will be remembered forever in the history of science, she simultaneously fueled the remarkable growth of Karen’s company, Carron. She dug up corpses with a shovel to procure them, used them to develop the Halfhangeds, and provided scientific consultation for the development of various weapons utilizing corpses. Without her, there would be no Carron, and without Carron, there would be no her.

Halfhanged 0
Name: Halfhanged 0 (하프행드 0)
Affiliation: Carron
Birth Date: 1702. 4. 5
Gender: Female
Hair Style: Silk-smooth, waist-length midnight-black hair that falls straight and heavy down her back. It is styled with clean-cut, neat flat bangs resting right over her brow, and she wears a delicate, dense chaplet of fabric white roses and green leaves as a crown.
Face Detail: She possesses a striking, bloodless porcelain complexion with an unsettling, statuesque stillness. Her wide-set, glazed obsidian eyes are completely hollow, devoid of any light reflection or emotional spark. A vivid, raw, and deeply bruised scarlet groove runs horizontally around her slender throat—the indelible, horrific mark of the hanging rope that half-killed her. Her ears are adorned with elegant, drop-style silver teardrop earrings.
Dress: She is clad in a pristine, structured double-breasted white container trench coat, featuring two rows of polished dark brass buttons and a wide, matching white fabric belt cinched tightly at her waist with a square buckle. Underneath, she wears a dark charcoal high-collar shirt. Her hands are protected by flexible, black leather tactical gloves.
Overall Appearance: Maggie presents a deeply disturbing contrast of morbid beauty, resembling a tragic bride of the gallows. The stark, immaculate white of her rose crown and container coat is broken only by her pitch-black hair, her glazed eyes, and the striking scarlet line across her neck. Her posture remains rigidly upright and tireless even as the limp, blonde body of “Halfhanged Portable” clings passively to her shoulders like a tragic specter.
Equipment:
- Halfhanged Portable (휴대식 하프행드) - The heavily modified corpse of Elizabeth Elphinstone, repurposed into a terrifying close-quarters combat utility weapon. Wearing black long coat, which was her shroud. Carron’s scientists replaced the skeletal structure with lightweight, high-tensile brass framing and miniature hydraulic piston lines running through her limbs and spine. Connected to a hidden trigger wire in Maggie’s black gloves, Maggie can instantly channel pressurized steam into it. This locks the corpse’s joints, instantly turning the limp, soft body into a steel-hard, unyielding battering ram or a crushing club. Its thoracic cavity has been replaced with a combustion block. It can store and violently release pressurized coal-gas or blinding, superheated white steam from its mouth, chest cavities, or fingertips, creating a scalding, protective cloud of vapor around Maggie or burning opponents who venture too close. Due to her internal carbon-mesh padding, it serves as an incredibly effective, mobile ballistic shield. It absorbs gunshot impacts and shrapnel cleanly, shielding Maggie from damage with dead, unfeeling flesh.
Personality: She found her extraordinary life burdensome and longed for an ordinary one; that is why, after returning from the gallows, she lived out the rest of her life content with the simple life she had regained, until she died. However, having been summoned from her grave and turned into a killing machine without knowing why, she now harbors deep doubts about her resurrection and her current existence. Yet no one cares that she is the exact same person as Maggie Dickson was before her resurrection. She has no choice but to silently carry out her duties without expressing any of these feelings. She knows that if she fails to do so, not only herself but also the Halfhangeds under her command will be taken away by a mysterious figure known as “The Matron,” subjected to inhumane and horrific treatment, and then returned. So, she has to become a ruthless supreme commander of Halfhangeds. In such circumstances, she feels a strange bond with the Halfhanged Portable—who is merely a tool and a wordless corpse. Having once been a fully-fledged human being herself, she now finds herself unable to live as she wishes and forced to act according to someone else’s will; in this shared predicament, she feels a sense of kinship. She regards Halfhanged Portable—who led about by her hand, stripped of her dignity as a dead person, and is not really her sister—as if she were her own sister, and occasionally speaks to her. Unlike Maggie, Halfhanged Portable is a corpse that functions solely as a tool, devoid of self-awareness; she cannot hear or feel, but then again, her own sense of self is nothing more than a meaningless abstraction anyway.
Character Background: Born in Inveresk, Scotland, in 1702, Maggie Dickson was an ordinary salt merchant who lived with her brother, a weaver, and her husband, a fisherman. However, her husband was conscripted into the British Navy, and left alone, she committed adultery with a man other than her husband. As a result, she became pregnant, but fearing she would be reprimanded if her affair were discovered, she told no one about it. Eventually, she suffered a stillbirth and kept the baby’s body in her bed for over a week before secretly disposing of it on the bank of a nearby river. However, after the baby’s body was discovered, she could not escape the authorities’ investigation. Although she claimed to have had a stillbirth, her explanation was not accepted, and she was publicly hanged on charges of murdering her own child. Due to complications during the hanging, she was placed in a coffin while still alive and awoke during the procession to the grave. Since she had already been declared dead by official records, she was not hanged a second time; in fact, she became famous as someone who had come back to life and was even revered by the public. However, having been publicly executed amid the jeers of the crowd and having returned from the brink of death, she had no desire for fame or adoration. She remarried her original husband and lived a simple life, selling salt as she had before and occasionally attending church, before passing away quietly. However, several decades after her death, corpse recycling technology swept across Britain. While most cadaver-derived products were created by grinding up bodies and reprocessing them into entirely new forms, Karen Roebuck, CEO of the weapons company Carron, and her scientist Elizabeth Fulhame were interested in using corpses as weapons in their original state. They heard the legend of a mysterious woman in Scotland who had been hanged and then resurrected. The minor detail that the woman did not appreciate the fame she had gained from her mysterious image was irrelevant. For Karen, a businesswoman, resurrecting someone who had already returned from the dead once and using her as a weapon held immense symbolic significance. Eventually, Karen Roebuck and Elizabeth Fulhame exhumed Maggie’s grave and resurrected her body, restoring her to the exact appearance she had when she was young—the moment she was hanged and then awoke again. They came up with the idea of equipping her—a weapon returned from the dead—with another corpse, so they exhumed the body of 21 years old deceased woman named Elizabeth Elphinstone. They then functionally modified Elizabeth Elphinstone’s corpse so it could be used as a weapon and placed it in Maggie’s hands. However, they soon realized that while an intact corpse makes an excellent weapon, it would be more efficient to equip each corpse with a mass-produced portable Carronade rather than pairing two corpses as a set. As a result, Maggie became the only corpse weapon to use other corpses as weapons, and she came to command the other corpse weapons. The corpse weapons produced in this way were named “Halfhanged,” a name derived from Maggie’s nickname during her lifetime. Maggie, the first Halfhanged and the prototype, became “Halfhanged 0,” and her weapon, Elizabeth Elphinstone, was named the “Halfhanged Portable.” She became the supreme commander of the Halfhangeds Having lost even her original name, she and the Halfhangeds she leads are now acting according to Carron's intentions.

The Matron
Name: The Matron (고아원장)
Affiliation: Carron
Birth Date: 1751. 9. 7
Gender: Female
Hair Style: Sleek, waist-length midnight-black hair that flows smoothly down her back. A portion of her hair is kept neatly swept back, framing her jawline elegantly and disappearing beneath her wide-brimmed hat, presenting a highly organized, maternal yet severe aesthetic.
Face Detail: She possesses a pale, flawless complexion with a soft, warm smile constantly playing on her lips, radiating an aura of serene benevolence. However, her eyes are perpetually hidden beneath the deep shadow of her wide-brimmed hat, leaving only her perfectly shaped nose, rosy lips, and elegant jawline visible. This creates a deeply unsettling contrast between her warm, maternal expression and the cold, unreadable darkness obscuring her gaze. She wears a delicate ruffled lace choker at her neck, secured by a small, oval-cut ruby brooch.
Dress: She is attired in an immaculate, highly structured victorian-gothic dress of deep charcoal and midnight-black silk. The tailored bodice is tightly buttoned down the center with polished bronze buttons, accented by sheer black mesh panels over her shoulders and upper chest in a sophisticated criss-cross pattern. She wears a matching wide-brimmed black felt hat adorned with a cluster of soft, tea-rose pink fabric flowers and a single white feather plume, striking a balance between somber administrative authority and gentle elegance.
Overall Appearance: The Matron exudes a highly dignified, elegant, and motherly presence. Standing tall with impeccable posture, she carries herself with a gentle grace that masks a terrifying undercurrent of absolute control. The complete obscuration of her upper face beneath her floral-trimmed hat, paired with her warm, soft smile, makes her look like an untouchable, Saint-like executioner—radiating both comforting safety and an inescapable, chilling authority.
Equipment:
- Ubiquitous (유비쿼터스) - A heavy, long walking cane crafted from dark polished mahogany wood, capped with an intricately carved, dome-topped silver head reminiscent of baroque design. The silver head hides high-density clockwork gears. At her command, the cane’s tip can discharge localized, painful high-frequency electric shocks meant for silent “discipline.” Beneath its elegant facade, the staff acts as the focal hub for her panoptic network; she can slide open the silver cap to reveal miniature optical mechanisms that sync with the countless eye-shaped surveillance lenses placed throughout Carron’s facilities and the streets, allowing her to watch her “children” at any moment.
Personality: She is a humanitarian and feels a slight aversion to the way Karen treats Halfhangeds as if they were commodities. She always approaches the education of Halfhangeds with a motherly heart. She is a mother to orphans (Halfhangeds) with nowhere to go, and therefore feels a duty to guide them onto the right path. Because she has a duty to prevent the children from straying onto the wrong path, she constantly uses surveillance lenses to watch over them and ensure they are not misbehaving. Furthermore, since it is also a mother’s duty to discipline a child who has done wrong and guide them so they do not repeat the mistake, she brings any child who has strayed to her for discipline. Her effective disciplinary tool is built into her staff, and it is said that her discipline involves considerable pain to maximize its effectiveness in instilling sound thinking in those she disciplines. Furthermore, she combines physical discipline with mental discipline, employing methods that involve considerable psychological shock to ensure more definitive results. Even so, she never gets angry with or scolds her own children; she always addresses them in a gentle, soft, and loving tone. She feels a great sense of fulfillment as a guardian when she successfully guides the children, and the children who have been disciplined by her follow her very closely. She sincerely loves her children. She is a helper who guides children onto the right path in the most ideal way, a kind-hearted orphanage director overflowing with a sense of mission regarding her responsibilities, and the best mother who kindly cares for children with nowhere else to go.
Character Background: A mysterious executive at Carron Corporation who oversees the training of Halfhangeds. She is also the one who trained Halfhanged 0, turning her into the cold-blooded Commander-in-Chief who oversees all Halfhangeds. She monitors the Halfhangeds using the countless eye-shaped surveillance lenses embedded in her staff, “Ubiquitous,” and if anyone is spotted defying the corporation’s control, insiders force them to meet with her at a location whose whereabouts are unknown. As the Watcher, she can observe Halfhangeds at any time, but Halfhangeds have no way of knowing whether she is currently watching them or not, and thus are constantly under the pressure of being watched. Although it is unclear who she is beyond her role as “The Matron,” it is certain that she possesses such extensive, often hidden, connections throughout the United Kingdom that her system served as a reference for a British philosopher in devising his vision of an ideal prison structure. Because she has blended so seamlessly into society through these natural connections, those who interact with her cannot imagine that she is the Matron; conversely, she, too, interacts with many people in society, learns a great deal from them, and continues to develop a qualitatively better management system.

The Iron Maiden
Name: The Iron Maiden (아이언 메이든)
Affiliation: Dowlais Ironworks
Birth Date: 1755. 2. 4
Gender: Female
Hair Style: A pristine, neatly parted bob cut of platinum silver-white hair, styled in a sleek, chin-length frame that sweeps gently over her left brow, reflecting her orderly and uncompromising personality.
Face Detail: She possesses a serene, porcelain-pale face of statuesque composure. Her drooping, pale-sapphire blue eyes harbor both a warm maternal calmness and a cold, calculation suited for business. Her lobes are adorned with elegant, octagonal rose-pink gemstone earrings set in white gold, offering a soft feminine touch to her stark demeanor.
Dress: She wears a highly structured, masculine-tailored charcoal tailcoat over a crisp, white high-collared pleated blouse. A voluminous, ruffled white cravat cascade sits beneath her throat, secured by an intricate, starburst-set ruby brooch. Her high-waisted black trousers are held by a dual-chain silver beaded belt, and her hands are perpetually protected by supple black leather gloves.
Overall Appearance: She radiates a striking, paradoxical blend of impeccable corporate refinement and industrial brutality. Despite handling soot and molten metal, she remains impeccably clean, casting a imposing silhouette as a mother of five who wields ironclad authority with soft, gentle features.
Equipment:
- Sledge of the Devoted Father (아버지의 연철 해머) - A massive, heavy pneumatic sledgehammer crafted from treated industrial iron, brass fittings, and ticking clockwork dials. Powered by pressurized vapor recycled from processed carbon, the hammer features a combustion chamber that periodically vents thick, hissing white steam from its crown, boasting enough force to shatter steel plates or smash defenses into splinters.
Personality: She loves her family. She also loves her employees as if they were family. However, the way that love is expressed is different. To her children, she is a warm parent who shows affection like a “mother.” To her employees, she is a cold parent who, like a “father,” never shows any vulnerability and is determined to provide for them no matter what it takes. Yet the fact remains that she is a cruel figure who played a major role in the genocide.
Character Background: Jemima Revel Phillips, from Shifnal, married Thomas Guest—the son of John Guest (1722 ~ 1787), post of works manager at Dowlais Ironworks—in 1776, becoming Jemima Revel Guest. At the time, the company was struggling in the wake of the Great Depression, and Jemima and Thomas also had to endure difficult times. At that time, Jemima took an interest in a recently emerging technology 'Recycling of Corpses' and decided to stake the company’s future on it. John Guest and Thomas Guest opposed the use of this seemingly unsavory technology, but Jemima firmly persuaded them that, since this was the only gamble left to keep the employees fed, they had no choice but to accept it. She dismissed them as cowards. She argued that since it would be her own soul that would be tainted by using such a distasteful technology, they should place her in that “dirty” position and step back from the front lines. After much persuasion, she succeeded in her plan and, as CEO of Dowlais Ironworks, actively implemented the corpse recycling technology. Her gamble paid off, and Dowlais Ironworks grew into a massive corporation in a short period of time. However, having amassed wealth and notoriety through this filthy and horrific technology, she became the “coward” she had called her father-in-law and husband. She eventually reached a point where she no longer wished to sully herself any further. The turning point came in 1781 with the birth of her daughter, Rosamund Guest. But this also meant she was now a mother with a child to support, so she had no choice but to continue providing for her family and remain in her position as CEO. Fortunately for her, it was “the CEO of Dowlais Ironworks” who was infamous, not “Jemima Revel Guest” herself. Thereafter, she had the name “Jemima Revel Guest” completely erased from the company’s records and, using either gentle and conciliatory methods or threatening and cruel ones with those who knew her real name, ensured that only the name “The Iron Maiden” was used in her place. And she became “Jemima Revel Guest” only in front of her children, striving to be an ordinary, loving mother. She went on to become the mother of five children—Rosamund Guest, Mary Ann Guest, Josiah John Guest, Sarah Guest, and Eliza Guest, who was born in 1788. While she appears to be a caring mother to her children, as the head of Dowlais Ironworks, she displays a cold-blooded, business-like demeanor to ensure her employees’ livelihoods.

Frances Williams
Name: Frances Williams (프란시스 윌리엄스)
Affiliation: Dowlais Ironworks
Birth Date: 1760. 5. 15
Gender: Female
Hair Style: A casually disheveled, voluminous updo of deep forest-green hair, styled with a loose, bohemian braid sweeping around her head and gathered into a messy bun. Strands of green hair elegantly frame the left side of her face and fall softly over her brow, capturing her rough, free-spirited, and unpretentious character.
Face Detail: She possesses a mischievous, youthful face, often wearing a smug and confident smile. Her warm, cat-like amber-gold eyes are typically veiled behind a pair of perfectly round, dark-tinted sunglasses that mask her emotions. Her cheeks and nose are playfully smudged with industrial grease and soot, adding a down-to-earth charm to her looks. She wears elegant, dangling golden earrings adorned with drop-style green malachite gemstones.
Dress: She is attired in a structured, heavily worn beige trench coat with prominent dark buttons, the fabric stained with soot and oil from her escapades. Beneath the coat, she wears a highly detailed, ruffled charcoal-black high-collared Victorian blouse. The throat is pinned neatly by an ornate golden brooch centering a round, polished deep-green emerald.
Overall Appearance: Frances radiates the charm of a street-smart, tomboyish rascal who has climbed her way out of poverty into industrial survival. With her soot-stained trench coat, stylish sunglasses, and a ridiculously oversized, mechanical arm, she presents an eccentric yet captivating contrast between Victorian-gothic elegance and rugged, grease-monkey utilitarianism.
Equipment:
- Net of the Devoted Daughter (딸의 밧줄 그물) - A monstrously heavy, clockwork and brass mechanical prosthetic arm seamlessly fused to her right shoulder. Crafted from highly polished brass piping, spinning copper gears, and miniature steam-vent valves, its hollow forearm chamber holds a densely wound mesh of thick, oil-treated industrial hemp ropes. Activated by high-pressure steam, it violently fires high-tensile capturing nets to cleanly trap her quarry, crushing any escape attempt under heavy, iron-ringed weights. Its name is a crude imitation of the name of the hammer used by The Iron Maiden.
Personality: Despite her status as a prominent figure at Dowlais Ironworks, she held quite ordinary, middle-class values. While she possesses the ordinary moral standards and psychological inhibitions typical of an average person, these are not absolute when faced with her own interests—such as personal gain or loss, threats to her well-being, or opportunities. Thus, she readily abandoned the ethical principle that robbery is wrong when faced with hunger, and she just as readily abandoned the principle that harming others is wrong when caught up in the circumstances surrounding Dowlais Ironworks. Furthermore, because she has an extremely ordinary mindset—liking those who treat her well and disliking those who dislike her—she thinks highly of The Iron Maiden, who can be seen as having shown her kindness. Since Frances has a personality that is unpretentious and rough around the edges but very friendly, she calls The Iron Maiden “Dad (아빠),” unlike the other employees who refer to her as “Father (아버지).” She also often introduces herself as “The Iron Net (아이언 네트),” mimicking the nickname of The Iron Maiden—even though the main material of her equipment is not iron. Although she frequently bickers with her partner Agnes—with whom she’s had trouble since their first meeting—their relationship isn’t seriously strained.
Character Background: Frances Williams, who once worked under the artist Moses Griffith, ended up leading a wretched life as a petty thief, forced to wear a crude prosthetic arm made of netting after falling on hard times. However, she committed these crimes solely to make ends meet and never directly harmed anyone. One day, while attempting to rob the home of her former employer, Moses Griffith, she was overpowered by Agnes Douglas, a woman residing in the mansion. She nearly ended up wrapped around and devoured by Agnes' long tongue, but at the last moment, she managed to make Agnes hesitate briefly by claiming she was connected to Dowlais Steel, the corporation that dominated Wales. Of course, this was utter nonsense with no basis in truth, and Agnes hadn’t hesitated because she believed it. Agnes wasn’t some maid employed by Moses Griffith; she was a kidnapper working for Dowlais Steel who had stumbled upon Moses Griffith’s mansion while searching for a victim. That was why she had snatched Frances—who had caught her eye—with her tongue, intending to savor part of his body herself and take the rest back to Dowlais Ironworks to use as industrial raw material; she was taken aback when the name “Dowlais” suddenly came out of Frances’s mouth. Agnes, bewildered by the kidnapper’s claim that she was from Dowlais Ironworks, didn’t take the bait. Instead, the snatcher brazenly insisted that her crude net-like prosthetic arm was a product of Dowlais Ironworks' technological prowess, then—when Agnes reacted with disbelief—she suddenly slapped her and fled. When Agnes gave chase, she used her net to restrain a few passersby on the street and then claimed that she, too, was a kidnapper just like Agnes. Naturally, this was an unbelievable claim, but since Frances’s net prosthetic arm looked quite useful, Agnes decided to believe her and suggested they go to the Dowlais factory together. Frances then headed straight for Dowlais Ironworks, taking the innocent victims with her. There, the kidnapped victims were killed on the spot and turned into industrial materials, and Frances became an official employee of Dowlais, working alongside Agnes. Her meager principle—that she wouldn’t harm people, even during her days as a robber—vanished overnight as if it had never existed, and she became a notorious agent of Dowlais Ironworks, working alongside Agnes to indiscriminately snatch people to procure raw materials for the industry or to abduct specific individuals for specific purposes.

Agnes Douglas
Name: Agnes Douglas (아그네스 더글러스)
Affiliation: Dowlais Ironworks
Birth Date: 1760. 1. 5
Gender: Female
Hair Style: A cascading river of waist-length, midnight-black hair that boasts subtle deep-violet highlights glistening under mechanical soot. It is styled with precise, dense flat-cut bangs framing her forehead, with soft side locks sweeping gracefully over her shoulders. The disheveled elegance of her dark hair reflects both her aristocratic-style refinement and her chaotic nature as a former wanderer.
Face Detail: She possesses a flawless, milk-white porcelain face with sharp, seductive facial lines. Her golden-amber cat eyes gaze forward with a chilling combination of absolute self-control and predatory amusement, frequently held in a semi-lidded, mischievous look. Her rosy lips are often parted in a soft, sly grin, exposing her sharp teeth, with her unique silver-jointed mechanical tongue tip resting lazily against her lower lip. She wears delicate, drop-style gold filigree flower earrings in her lobes, creating a deceptively elegant aura.
Dress: She is attired in an impeccably tailored, structured Victorian three-piece suit of matte charcoal-black. It consists of a tight, brass-buttoned vest, high-waisted black trousers that highlight her voluptuous silhouette, and a sharp blazer decorated with polished gold cuff buttons. Beneath her vest, she wears a crisp, high-collared white pinstripe shirt secured at her throat by a black silk neck ribbon and an octagonal gold gemstone brooch. Her hands are elegantly clad in supple, form-fitting black kidskin leather gloves.
Overall Appearance: Agnes Douglas represents a chilling, beautiful paradox: a monstrous cannibal disguised as an impeccable corporate executive. Carrying herself with a statuesque and aristocratic poise, she exudes a deadly, serpentine allure. The terrifying sight of her gleaming silver mechanical tongue wrapping around her target like a metallic snake stands in stark, mesmerizing contrast to her elegant charcoal tailoring and golden-amber gaze.
Equipment:
- Sawney Bean (소니 빈) - Her weapon and partner. An extremely long, snake-like mechanical tongue apparatus made of flexible, silver-ringed steel joints, brass micro-piping, and spinning gears fused into her oral cavity. Crafted by Dowlais engineers, it can lash out violently to wrap around her victim’s body like a constriction cord, restraining them effortlessly while allowing her to “taste” or cleanly deliver them to the furnace.
Personality: She was originally fierce and emotional, as befits a wandering cannibal, but now, befitting her position as a key figure at Dowlais Ironworks, she has a very refined manner of speaking and demeanor. She enjoys tasting and consuming human flesh; as a result, she always wraps her tongue around her abductees, consuming some parts and supplying others to Dowlais Ironworks. She uses the knife in her hand to very neatly cut and separate the parts she eats from those she delivers. She refers to The Iron Maiden—who hired and looked after her without prejudice—as “Father (아버지),” just as the other employees at Dowlais Ironworks do. She often bickers with her partner, Frances Williams, and gets annoyed that she can’t eat the victims Frances kidnaps, but they aren’t seriously on bad terms.
Character Background: Sawney Bean, a Scottish murderer said to have lived in a cave and committed cannibalism. Amid the conflict between England and Scotland, the English fabricated stories about him to disparage the Scots. And Olivia Maxwell, born into a merchant family in Dumfries, was identified as a descendant of Sawney Bean. This was due to the intermingling of two legends. Before Sawney Bean, there was a story in Scotland—the veracity of which remains unclear—about a cannibalistic murderer named Christie Cleek. Andrew Christie, a butcher, unable to endure the famine, joined a band of outlaws; he would raid villages, kill people, and consume their flesh. He became infamous under the name Christie Click but was eventually defeated by armed troops sent to suppress him. However, he managed to escape and, after changing his name to David Maxwell in the Dumfries area, is said to have lived out his life as a wealthy merchant with a good reputation in the local community. The story of Christie Cleek became intertwined with that of the Sawney Bean family during the process of Sawney Bean’s narrative being formed. The Maxwell family—whose descendants have been merchants in Dumfries for generations—was added to the story; this family included the youngest daughter of Sawney Bean, who, though spared execution as she was still an infant at the time of her father’s execution, later learned of her family’s history and committed suicide. Because of these distorted legends, Olivia was branded as a descendant of Sawney Bean. She was tormented by her neighbors’ taunts, being called a cannibal, a murderer, a witch, and a disgrace to Scotland. Plagued by collective guilt and prejudice, she rarely left the house unless absolutely necessary, and complex emotions continued to grow within her heart. Then one day, she received shocking news: the legalization of murder. This struck a deep chord with the complex emotions she had been suppressing—a sense of victimization, a thirst for revenge, hatred, a feeling of injustice, a desire for retribution, and a strange sense of kinship with cannibals. And she finally made up her mind. “To those who branded me a cannibal, you were right. I am a real cannibal, a witch, and Agnes Douglas—the wife and accomplice of Sawney Bean. And as a cannibal, I will devour you, my victims.” And so she ate her neighbors. It had been unfair to be treated as a cannibal simply because an ancestor she’d never even met had been labeled one, but now that she had truly become a cannibal, she no longer felt wronged. She didn’t care if she was despised. Because she really had eaten human flesh. Was it because the cannibal David Maxwell was truly her ancestor, or was it due to her own psychology, which had reached the point where she identified herself with the cannibal? She found human flesh to be utterly delicious. And now, having truly become a cannibal and despised by everyone, Agnes Douglas left Scotland—that loathsome land that had scorned and cursed her—to become a wandering cannibal. However, Wales did not despise her. The conflict between Scotland and England, and the legend of Sawney Bean that arose from it—to “The Iron Maiden,” the founder of Wales’s giant corporation Dowlais Ironworks, it was nothing but a laughing matter. The Iron Maiden, harboring no animosity toward Agnes Douglas, hired her after recognizing her abilities. And so she came to lead a stable life as a snatcher for Dowlais Ironworks, devouring some of her victims and supplying others to the company.

George Thompson
Name: George Thompson (조지 톰슨)
Affiliation: Dowlais Ironworks
Birth Date: 1758. 2. 4
Gender: Female
Hair Style: Long, voluminous untied blonde hair. Loose, wavy strands often frame her face, suggesting constant movement and a lack of feminine pretense.
Face Detail: A strong jawline and high cheekbones give her a serious, almost severe countenance. Her eyes are a piercing, clear sapphire blue, constantly conveying focused intensity and the alertness of a hunter.
Dress: She wears a tightly tailored, deep crimson military-style tunic jacket, double-breasted with rows of polished brass buttons, evoking her former life in the British Royal Marines. This is paired with practical, durable black container trousers tucked into sturdy, knee-high leather marching boots. When on assignment, she throws a heavy, oil-treated black duster coat over the ensemble, providing utility and concealment.
Overall Appearance: George Thompson projects an aura of dangerous, disciplined efficiency. She moves with the rigid, practiced posture of a seasoned soldier, her demeanor entirely pragmatic. The vibrant red of her tunic sharply contrasts with the industrial soot and grime she often carries, presenting a figure who is both loyal to the establishment and ruthless in her execution of duties.
Equipment:
- Spectre Hunter (스펙터 사냥꾼) - A heavy, custom-modified bolt-action rifle integrated with brass steam-powered mechanisms and clockwork gauges. It is specifically designed to chamber special occult-knowledge-infused silver bullets intended for supernatural targets.
Personality: As the 'Guardian of Dowlais Ironworks', she has immense loyalty to the company and is also deeply loyal to the current British regime. That loyalty stems from her attachment to the things that provide her with stability, as well as her fear of change. Since she is, after all, a mercenary, she does not refer to the Iron Maiden as “Father (아버지)” like the other employees do, but in practice, she follows her as if she were her father or brother. She harbors strong hostility toward the Spectre—an entity that threatens the current system—and has diligently made her own preparations to settle the score with it. To her, the Spectre is not an object of fear or guilty, but a target to hunt. However, for some reason, the Spectre she has been searching for so relentlessly has never once appeared before her eyes.
Character Background: In 1773, Margaret Thompson, disguised as a man, enlisted in the British Royal Marines under the name George Thompson. She was quite a troublemaker within her unit. She habitually committed war crimes during engagements with the enemy and frequently caused disturbances in public places. She would respond defiantly to her superiors’ orders, while taking pleasure in using her position to bully subordinates of lower rank. During the British blockade, the Royal Marines had little to do, and she—who had relished committing war crimes—found herself with nothing to do. With the future of the Marine Corps uncertain, she got drunk and committed an incident where she was disrespectful to her superiors. As a result, she was sentenced to flogging, and when her true gender was revealed during the punishment, her military career came to a complete end. Afterward, she stopped hiding her gender altogether and became a vagabond mercenary—a former soldier who lived a life of debauchery, drowning her sorrows in alcohol and barely scraping by day to day. One day, a company began hiring her frequently—Dowlais Ironworks. Despite her questionable character, she was highly capable and excelled at completing the objectives set by Dowlais Ironworks; through successive contracts, she effectively became their exclusive mercenary. She gradually grew complacent with the stable life Dowlais provided, and her fiery temperament gradually subsided. The mercurial soldier, who had once embodied change itself, now found change burdensome and came to cherish Dowlais Ironworks—which kept her tied to her current stable life—and British society, where murder had been legalized. She grew extremely hostile toward Dowlais' enemies—those who disrupted her stable, unchanging existence—as well as the enemies of the current British system, and became its guardian. For her, the Spectre was a major thorn in her side: the vengeful spirit of the victims of mass slaughter, a supernatural entity that refused to die no matter how many times people attacked it. It threatened the current system and stability, both physically and psychologically. She resolved to eliminate this supernatural entity at all costs. To kill the Spectre, she has drawn upon her knowledge of the occult to modify her gun and prepare silver bullets, and she is now tracking the Spectre’s whereabouts. However, she has never once come face-to-face with the Spectre she has been so desperately searching for.

Charlotte Gleadowe Newcomen
Name: Charlotte Gleadowe Newcomen (샬롯 글리도 뉴커먼)
Affiliation: Newcomen Bank
Birth Date: 1747. 7. 5
Gender: Female
Hair Style: A long, immaculate cascade of moonlit silver-white hair with subtle, iridescent pale-violet undertones, flowing straight down past her waist. It features finely trimmed, see-through flat bangs framing her brow, while soft, delicate sidelocks gently sweep past her ears to rest against her collarbone, emphasizing a pristine, aristocratic grace untouched by soot or blood.
Face Detail: She possesses a flawless, milk-white porcelain complexion and soft, sculpted features that exude serene innocence. Her refined, slightly drooping almond-shaped eyes are a clear, mesmerizing shade of lavender-violet, held in a gentle, semi-lidded gaze that conveys both quiet maternal composure and chilling emotional detachment. A faint, benevolent smile constantly graces her soft rosy lips. In her lobes, she wears ornate, drop-style silver earrings featuring intricate sunburst/wheel medallions.
Dress: She is dressed in an impeccably tailored, single-breasted executive suit blazer of matte midnight-black wool, fastened by two polished bronze crest buttons. Beneath it, she wears a crisp, high-collared pleated white silk blouse accented with subtle pinstripes and a ruffled frill neck, neatly cinched at the throat by a black silk ribbon pinned with a large, oval-cut amethyst brooch framed in silver filigree. On her left lapel sits an intricate silver flower brooch, completing an ensemble that radiates spotless moral and financial authority.
Overall Appearance: Charlotte embodies an unsettling paradox: an immaculate, saintly banking matriarch who reigns as the uncontested sovereign of the criminal underworld. Slender, poised, and statuesque, she carries herself with the serene dignity of a woman entirely convinced of her own purity and harmlessness. The pronounced divergence between her silver-violet hair, spotless tailored black suit, and the utter absence of physical grime gives her the untouchable aura of a queen who manages the empire of slaughter without ever dirtying her own hands.
Equipment: N/A
Personality: She detests committing criminal acts. For this reason, she has never once killed anyone with her own hands, stolen anything, or hit anyone. She is a kind, upstanding citizen with impeccable moral standards, and she is proud of and loves herself for who she is. She is not some kind of crime boss. She merely “pointed out the fact” that her interests align with those of the criminals; she merely “pointed out the fact” that the criminals could benefit from committing crimes; and she merely “pointed out the fact” that a criminal with whom she shares a vested interest could suffer physical harm if they failed to perform a specific role. The charisma she displays in the process is merely a natural trait of hers; she has never persuaded or ordered anyone to commit a crime. She merely “pointed out the facts,” and it was the criminals—not her—who assessed those facts, committed the crimes, and transferred a portion of the resulting profits to the bank. That is why she does not consider herself to be leading the criminals. Naturally, in the back of her mind, she knows this is utter nonsense. It is an undeniable fact that she is the queen of the criminal underworld. However, whenever that thought rises from the corner of her mind to its very center, she pushes it back to its original corner and fills that space with moral perfectionism. She is innocent. And because she is innocent, even if she causes the criminal organization under her to expand further and commit more serious crimes, she remains an innocent figure completely unconnected to crime. That is why she very skillfully “mentions the facts” to the criminals. And the criminals, acting on their own “arbitrary judgment,” commit crimes and then funnel a portion of the profits to her bank. In the eyes of the criminals—who are “merely associated” with her—she is a ruthless, pragmatic, and dignified “boss,” but in her own eyes, she is an innocent, kind, and pure girl.
Character Background: Swift Bank, founded by James Swift in 1722, passed to Thomas Gleadowe upon James Swift’s death in 1745, and in 1767, his son, William Gleadowe, took over the bank. William Gleadowe joined the Newcomen family through his marriage to Charlotte Newcomen in 1772, and the bank’s name was changed to Newcomen Bank. However, a recession soon struck, and the bank faced a crisis where it lacked the funds to repay depositors. At this time, unbeknownst to her husband William, she established a private mortuary while concealing its connection to the bank; the money earned from the mortuary’s murder operations and the supply of materials for the body trade was disguised as the bank’s financial income. Her criminal activities continued to expand, and the criminal organizations under her control branched out into numerous criminal enterprises, including not only murder but also prostitution, drugs, smuggling, gambling, fraud, and union racketeering. As a result, Newcomen Bank enjoyed an unexplained boom, and she became the queen of the underworld. She appears to be nothing more than a wife sitting in an executive position simply to assist her husband’s business—a figure far removed from any sense of ability or ambition. However, she is not only the driving force behind the entire bank but also the head of a criminal organization with roots throughout the United Kingdom and the overlord of Ireland—but she herself does not see it that way at all.

Darkey Kelly
Name: Darkey Kelly (다키 켈리)
Affiliation: Newcomen Bank
Birth Date: 1730. 11. 3
Gender: Female
Hair Style: A long, unkempt cascade of vibrant vermilion hair that falls loosely past her shoulders, featuring choppy, messy bangs that frame her brow. Stray, disheveled locks drape over her ears and chest, reflecting both her weary negligence of personal vanity and the chaotic violence of her daily routine.
Face Detail: She possesses a porcelain-pale complexion that looks utterly drained of life, paired with wide, glassy cerulean-blue eyes that convey an unsettling mix of detached resignation, quiet sorrow, and deadened sanity. Her lips are pale and settled in a hollow, emotionless neutral line. In both ears, she wears ornate, drop-style bronze and silver earrings shaped like spinning wheel gears.
Dress: She wears a heavily blood-splattered, high-collared white medical/mortuary coat with frayed, jaggedly torn cuffs, tightly cinched at the waist by a dark leather underbust corset. Beneath the stained coat, she wears a charcoal-grey high-collared blouse fastened at the throat by an elaborate gear-and-ruby brooch, complemented by another brass clockwork emblem pinned over her left lapel. Her hands and forearms are protected by blood-soaked grey work gloves.
Overall Appearance: Darkey Kelly presents a deeply haunting, tragic paradox: an elegant, maternal woman reduced to a blood-drenched mortuary butcher and serial executioner. Standing with a chillingly calm, resigned posture while wielding a monstrous, gore-slicked mechanical saw, she cuts the silhouette of a condemned soul who has abandoned all hope of salvation, endlessly drowning in the inescapable carnage of her own making. She has not so old figure despite of her age, because she is a mayfly clone.
Equipment:
- The Sin (죄악) - A monstrous, heavy industrial chainsaw crafted from treated blackened steel, tarnished brass plates, and copper steam piping. Powered by a miniature internal combustion core driven by corpse-derived fuel, exposed clockwork gears on the housing rapidly cycle the jagged, razor-sharp steel teeth at blinding speed. Designed to effortlessly butcher cadavers and bisect human targets alike, the violent vibration atomizes flesh and sprays dark crimson arterial blood across everything nearby. It serves both as her brutal tool for supplying raw materials to Newcomen Bank and the bloody instrument with which she hands over her duties each night.
Personality: She was inherently evil, yet not entirely so; as a result, she eventually developed affection even for those she treated badly. Though she committed evil deeds, she felt guilt whenever her actions crossed a certain threshold. Her life had been a continuous series of such transgressions, and she could no longer bear it. However, the list of indisputable, objective facts forced her to continue committing acts of evil beyond a certain threshold. That is why she became a mayfly.
Character Background: Dorcas Kelly, a brothel madam, was a woman who exploited her prostitutes, yet she was not entirely without a bond with them. She pushed her prostitutes to work so she could live a life of luxury, but she was also someone who would fly into a rage if anyone treated her prostitutes with more than just the rudeness expected of a customer. On St. Patrick’s Day in 1760, when shoemaker John Dowling, as a customer, crossed a line he should not have and threatened one of her prostitutes, it was precisely because of this temperament that she, upon witnessing the scene, tried to subdue him but accidentally killed him. To the prostitutes, she was seen as a twisted mother figure; one of them even disguised herself as that mother—a figure she hated but could not bear to lose—and was executed in her place. Although Dorcas was a pimp—a criminal without a conscience—she was a character who felt guilty about her actions. She lived in hiding, tormented by self-reproach. She saw herself as a serial killer who had murdered the shoemaker and caused the death of the prostitute under her care. Although she couldn’t reveal her true identity, she went around saying that a woman named Dorcas Kelly was a horrific serial killer. She wouldn’t even let people call her by her real name, insisting instead on being called by the derogatory nickname “Darkey Kelly.” That was the beginning of countless conspiracy theories about her that emerged in later generations. A prostitute who had once worked under her and loved roses was troubled by the way she lived, consumed by self-reproach. Wanting to help her feel valued, she looked into various jobs where she could stay, but was turned down. This prostitute, who had been searching high and low for any job she could find, eventually found her way to Newcomen Bank. Amid the economic downturn, the bank president’s wife seemed to warmly welcome the new employee, and the conversation naturally turned to Darkey Kelly’s story. The bank president’s wife listened sympathetically, drawing her out, and at some point began “sharing” various “facts” about her. Before long, the conversation shifted to a list of “facts”: the “fact” that Darkey Kelly, having already committed murder, would have an advantage in that horrific business; the “fact” that, by a stroke of luck, if a portion of the profits from that horrific business were to be funneled to Newcomen Bank, the bank could achieve financial stability; the “fact” that working is more valuable than not working; and the “fact” that Darkey Kelly was a fugitive with vulnerabilities. Following that conversation, Darkey Kelly—based solely on his “own judgment synthesizing the facts”—took on the horrific role of managing a private mortuary secretly linked to Newcomen Bank, while behind the scenes orchestrating murders himself. Later, after the business flourished, a prostitute who borrowed the identity of Jack Harris to serve as another henchman for Newcomen Bank was left with only one, very faint and small wound in her heart: the “mother” who was tormented by guilt while being forced to carry out that horrific role. These “facts” bound Darkey Kelly so tightly that she could never escape her position as both the manager of the private mortuary and a murderer. And Jack Harris found a way to circumvent those “facts” through Catherine Murphy. No matter how painful it might be, she would surely have the strength to endure and survive another day. Jack asked Catherine for help—not as her persona, but as a human being. Shortly thereafter, a device was installed in the private mortuary—Catherine Murphy’s personal masterpiece. It was an exquisitely sophisticated cloning device capable of perfectly replicating a human being, including their memories and humanity. Darkey Kelly became a true “serial killer.” Every day, she would free herself from the guilt she could no longer bear by being taken her own life by new her, entrusting the next day to her next incarnation.

Jack Harris
Name: Jack Harris (잭 해리스)
Affiliation: Newcomen Bank
Birth Date: 1757. 1. 27
Gender: Female
Hair Style: A voluminous cascade of vibrant, wavy vermilion hair that falls elegantly over her shoulders and down to her mid-back.
Face Detail: She possesses a porcelain-pale complexion with a soft, perpetual rosy blush dusting her cheeks. Her eyes are a clear, piercing cerulean blue, often held in a gaze that suggests a mix of predatory insight and feigned innocence. Her ears are adorned with ornate, drop-style amethyst earrings set in gold.
Dress: She wears a structured, high-collared dress of deep teal-blue silk. The bodice features a black central panel framed by gold piping and two rows of polished brass buttons, evoking a sense of disciplined authority. A crisp white lace collar is fastened at the throat by a large, octagonal amethyst brooch. The sleeves are fitted, ending in flared cuffs decorated with matching gold buttons. She is crowned with an oversized, elaborate bonnet composed of layers of turquoise and deep blue fabric roses, intertwined with dark ribbons.
Overall Appearance: She presents a striking contrast between floral decadence and lethal intent. Her bonnet frames her face, enhancing her “fragile” and “decadent” persona.
Equipment:
- Rose Thorn (장미 가시) - A black pistol with some clockworks and red roses. The hollow-point bullets used in this pistol bloom like flowers upon impact, beautifully shattering the struck area.
Personality: Mysterious yet somehow decadent, she speaks in a seductive, sweet-talking tone. Regardless of who she encounters, she maintains a fragile demeanor, yet she is a thoroughly ruthless individual—capable of managing prostitutes, concealing the organization and her own identity, and resolving any problems that arise with ruthless efficiency.
Character Background: In Britain, there was a pimp named Jack Harris, known as the “Pimp General,” and an annual publication called the Harris List, named after him, introduced prostitutes. But one day, he vanished without a trace. Newcomen Bank seized the opportunity, seeking to extend its reach into the prostitution business under the cover of Jack Harris's reputation. Consequently, her alias, as a worker of Newcomen Bank, became “Jack Harris.” She established herself in Covent Garden, Jack Harris's former territory, and launched a nationwide prostitution operation. Her true identity, hidden behind Jack Harris's name, remains unknown to anyone. Operating from the shadows, she owns and manages prostitutes across the entire United Kingdom. She views the Ripper, who specifically targets and murders prostitutes in England, as a thorn in her side.

The Yorkshire Witch
Name: The Yorkshire Witch (요크셔의 마녀)
Affiliation: Newcomen Bank
Birth Date: 1768. 4. 25
Gender: Female
Hair Style: An elegant, voluminous updo of moonlight silver-white hair gathered into a refined high bun, accented by a single unruly strand curving above her crown. Long, silky sidelocks frame her face and drape gracefully over her chest and shoulders, softening her sharp silhouette.
Face Detail: A pale porcelain complexion dusted with a perpetual, feverish rosy blush and faint beads of excited sweat. Her narrow, drooping almond eyes are a hypnotic, pale crimson-pink with subtle ringed pupils, glowing with sadistic fixation and childish longing. Her lips are curled into a sly, flushed smirk that borders on manic pleasure. In both ears, she wears heavy, drop-style silver filigree earrings featuring ornate antique oval medallions.
Dress: She wears a structured, high-collared Victorian frock coat of matte charcoal-black wool, lavishly embellished with antique silver floral-brocade embroidery along the wide lapels and cuffs. The bodice is tightly cinched at the waist by decorative silver frog fasteners and ornate corded clasps. Beneath her coat, she wears a crisp white high-collared blouse accented by a soft, pale-blue silk neck scarf tied neatly beneath her chin.
Overall Appearance: The Yorkshire Witch presents a deeply unhinged and alluring paradox: a high-ranking underworld manager whose pristine, aristocratic tailoring contrasts violently with her flushed, blood-craving demeanor. Holding her blood-slicked, saw-fitted pipe with the casual grace of a noblewoman enjoying an afternoon smoke, she radiates a frantic, desperate vanity—a woman throwing a lethal, bloody tantrum disguised as high art.
Equipment:
- Grand Maestro (그랜드 마에스트로) - A bespoke, heavy tobacco pipe forged from polished brass, copper steam fittings, and tarnished blackened iron. Integrated into the pipe’s bowl is an intricate clockwork mechanism featuring exposed brass gear trains, a miniature circular pressure gauge, and a rapidly spinning, high-speed circular saw blade. Designed specifically for cruel, protracted butchery rather than swift execution, it allows her to saw through bone and flesh slowly while inhaling corpse-fuel vapor, indulging her obsession with turning murder into a painful, “artistic” display.
Personality: She is a capable manager of a criminal network, yet she is always restless, as if something were missing. While she runs her criminal organization flawlessly, deep down she cannot fully concentrate on her work; instead, she is consumed by a lingering attachment to murder and an inferiority complex about her job. And whenever she is presented with an opportunity to kill, she goes out of her way to murder her target in an inefficient, gruesome, and artistic manner. This is an expression of her lingering attachment, regret, and longing for murder—a psychological agitation driven by her desire to make perfect use of that rare opportunity. Furthermore, her insistence on committing murder “artistically” from her own perspective, as if to show off to someone, stems from the same psychology as a young child throwing a tantrum to show off to a mother who won’t do as the child wishes.
Character Background: Mary Harker, who would later become the Witch of Yorkshire, had no qualms about committing misdeeds from a young age, such as stealing and deceiving others. As she grew up committing crimes both big and small, she eventually came into contact with the massive criminal organization known as Newcomen Bank and joined it, as if she had always admired such a vile organization. Although she was young, she had lived a life of crime since childhood, committing offenses both big and small, and as a result, she quickly rose to become one of the top criminals within Newcomen Bank. Charlotte took notice of her and ensured she was assigned a very important position within the organization. Fraud, smuggling, drugs, gambling, union takeovers, and more. Standing at the center of Newcomen Bank’s vast criminal network, she assumed a pivotal role in managing these operations. Based in Yorkshire and managing this vast criminal network, she came to be known by the nickname “The Yorkshire Witch.” Yet, deep down, she always harbored a sense of regret. In her view, she had spent her entire life immersed in crime, making her a “crime expert” whom no one could match in that field. However, Charlotte never entrusted her with any tasks related to murder—the very thing that mattered most to her. She was neither in charge of managing murders nor was she the one carrying them out. From her perspective, tinged with an inferiority complex, fraud, smuggling, drugs, gambling, and union takeovers were trivial crimes fit only for petty criminals. The fact that she had been entrusted with these “trivial crimes”—rather than the “grand crime” of murder—left her needlessly resentful and hurt her pride. Without even considering that she had become the head of those “trivial crimes” precisely because of her competence, she began engaging in sadistic acts. When the opportunity to kill arises, she does not carry it out efficiently. Instead, she deliberately uses a pipe fitted with a small circular saw blade to kill her victims in a way that is inefficient, painful, and horrifically artistic.

Sarah Siddons
Name: Sarah Siddons (사라 시돈스)
Affiliation: N/A
Birth Date: 1755. 7. 5
Gender: Female
Hair Style: A sleek, short, dark raven-black bob cut that frames her face sharply, featuring precise, heavy flat bangs that fall just above her deep-set eyes. The practical style contrasts with the theatrical elegance she once maintained.
Face Detail: She possesses a pale, classically beautiful complexion, though her expression is permanently etched with the grave weight of moral contemplation. Her eyes are a striking, deep shade of sapphire blue, holding the focused intensity of an actor prepared for a climax, yet perpetually shadowed by the dark circles of sleepless guilt.
Dress: She is attired in a heavy, practical, double-breasted trench coat of dark olive-green wool, worn over a plain, black high-collared sweater. The coat is functional and slightly disheveled, suggesting a life spent in transit and hiding, a stark departure from her elaborate stage costumes.
Overall Appearance: Sarah Siddons projects a chilling, understated dignity, moving with the practiced, disciplined posture of a seasoned stage performer now inhabiting the tragic role of a terrorist. She appears both fragile and dangerously resolute, the epitome of high tragedy translated into desperate action.
Equipment:
- To be or not to be (죽음과 삶) - A heavy, spherical device crafted from polished brass and aged mahogany, bristling with copper tubing, visible clockwork gears, and three small vials glowing with volatile, greenish-blue liquid. This clockwork bomb is designed to atomize its target upon detonation, fulfilling her goal of mass slaughter without leaving behind any identifiable corpses to feed the recycling industry.
Personality: Hamlet is an indecisive, rational, moral, and cautious character, but at the same time, he is also a highly impulsive and extreme figure—like a ticking time bomb. Throughout her acting career, she has played Hamlet on numerous occasions. Seeing British society hurtling toward ruin, she decided she had to stop it. And after much indecisive deliberation, she ultimately decided on a bomb attack. A bomb is a weapon that can make countless people vanish in an instant, leaving no bodies behind. By carrying out a mass slaughter that left no bodies, she sought to thwart the madness of a Britain that legalizes murder and recycles corpses. It was a highly irrational, unreasonable, impulsive, and inefficient method. She had ended up becoming a person much like the tragic hero she had portrayed. There is no trace left of her refined manner of speaking as an actress. Only the terrorist’s coarse speech remains.
Character Background: Sarah Kemble, who would later become Britain’s national actress, was born in 1755 as the daughter of Roger Kemble, a manager of a touring theater company; she married William Siddons in 1773 and became Sarah Siddons. Defying her parents’ opposition to pursue a career in theater, she first caught the public’s attention in 1774 playing the role of Belvidera in Dennis Otway’s play Venice Preserv’d, and her rising star continued to shine, making her one of Britain’s most prominent celebrities. She received countless offers and took on many roles in response to various requests. Among these were political requests, and a prime example was the role of “Isabella.” Adapted by David Garrick from a play by Thomas Southern, the work had no particular political overtones when it first appeared in 1758. However, following Queen Isabella’s accession to the throne—a coincidence that merely involved a shared name—the play was severely distorted with every performance, glorifying and heroizing the character of Isabella. Almost nothing remained of the original content of the play, which had been a tragedy; it had degenerated into a piece of propaganda that served only to praise the regime. Then, in 1782, Sarah Siddons took on the role of Isabella in this play. By perfectly embodying the heroic figure of Isabella, she became a great actress whom the public came to call “the Queen.” Enjoying a tremendous heyday as an actress serving the regime’s propaganda, she behaved as if she were “Heroic Isabella” herself, having become completely identified with the role, and she genuinely admired Queen Isabella, who was portrayed as the perfect heroine in the script. Then, in 1785, she took on another defining role of her career: “Lady Macbeth.” The Lady Macbeth she portrayed was a fragile, highly sensitive character with a strong maternal instinct. However, driven by her own ambition, she suppressed all those tender aspects of her nature and manipulated her husband into committing evil deeds; eventually, Macbeth became king, and Lady Macbeth became queen. Yet, having gained everything, she was forced to confront the inner fragility and guilt she had been harboring, and ultimately, unable to bear it, she took her own life. Having identified with Isabella while playing her, she realized—while portraying Lady Macbeth—that she, and by extension British society as a whole, resembled Lady Macbeth. We were all so intoxicated by ambition that we legitimized murder and defended Queen Isabella. But in reality, we were a collection of fragile, sensitive, ordinary human beings with maternal and paternal instincts. The madness fueled by ambition made us forget that fact, but someday that weakness will resurface, and we will destroy ourselves. She abruptly stopped acting after that. And she became a mysterious terrorist carrying out bombings across Britain.

The Spectre
Name: The Spectre (스펙터)
Affiliation: N/A
Birth Date: Unknown
Gender: Female
Hair Style: A long, disheveled curtain of ink-black hair that falls loosely past her shoulders, featuring dense, uneven flat bangs that partially shadow her forehead. The tattered strands appear perpetually damp, clinging slightly to her cheeks as if drenched by a sudden cold autumn rain or slicked with old blood.
Face Detail: She possesses a stark, bloodless porcelain complexion that makes her look like an exquisite yet dead wax figure. Her gaze is dominated by wide, hollow pupils of a chilling, vivid crimson-red, burning with an unearthly, silent malice. Fresh streaks and spatters of dark arterial blood are smeared across her lips, jawline, and right cheek, offering a shocking contrast to her pale, elegant features.
Dress: She wears a structured, double-breasted trench coat of midnight black, cinched tightly at the waist with a thick, buckled leather belt and adorned with two rows of dull, polished bronze buttons. The cuffs and the lower hem of the coat are completely shredded, frayed, and tattered into ghostly wisps. The front of her high-collared white inner shirt and neck ruff is aggressively soaked and ruined by dark crimson bloodstains.
Overall Appearance: The Spectre cuts a terrifying and chillingly beautiful silhouette, looking like a discarded doll that has risen from a massacre. Striking a tragic contrast between military discipline and absolute carnage, she moves like a silent shadow, her hands and fingertips stained deep red with fresh blood, projecting a visceral, looming sense of inevitable death.
Equipment: N/A
Personality: It is a vengeful spirit completely consumed by vengeance. It is driven solely by hatred. Its sole reason for existing is to take revenge on those who killed it. It relentlessly pursues its targets.
Character Background: The Spectre. A spectre formed by the combined restless spirits of the dead at the scene of a massacre. Harboring immense resentment toward the world, it seeks revenge against everything that led to its death. No weapon can harm it. Many have tried to kill it, but not a single person has succeeded. It is a supernatural being. It is a walking disaster. It cannot be killed. It cannot be stopped.
Spoiler: The Truth about The Spectre
(Do not spoiler this lore)
The Spectre is not, in fact, a real entity. While the collective madness of the people led them to agree to the legalization of murder, that did not mean most people were indifferent to the carnage unfolding around them. Some felt guilt, some anxiety, some compassion, and some depression. In a society where murder was legalized, a great many people unconsciously harbored these emotions in a corner of their hearts, and among them were many for whom these feelings were particularly intense. Under intense psychological pressure, some of these people experienced hallucinations of a red-eyed spectre, and this was the starting point for the rumors about the spectre. Others who were under severe psychological pressure were influenced by these urban legends and began to experience hallucinations of the red-eyed spectre themselves; as a result, the speed at which the stories spread increased severalfold, and the details surrounding the spectre became more concrete. Even those who felt relatively little psychological pressure harbored such emotions in the deepest corners of their minds; consequently, they unconsciously empathized with the urban legend and, influenced by its spread as if it were true, came to believe that the spectre actually existed. This belief caused more and more people to experience the same hallucination of the spectre, thereby gradually increasing the credibility of the rumors surrounding it. Eventually, even though the spectre did not actually exist, the belief that it did became accepted as common knowledge. When people began dying from the shock of seeing the spectre, the collective fear of it intensified. Their deaths were believed to be caused by the spectre’s mysterious powers. Feelings of guilt, anxiety, sympathy, and depression turned into hostility, and some people even took up arms to fight the spectre when it appeared. However, since the spectre did not actually exist, it was naturally impossible to kill it; and even if someone were to “kill” the spectre in their hallucination, the collective fear of the spectre would not disappear. It was a nightmare created by people who had gone mad due to the ongoing slaughter.
