!!The Sinners
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/00_character_intro_bg_min.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Left to right: [[TheHedonist Rodya]], [[TheQuietOne Yi Sang]], [[SophisticatedAsHell Heathcliff]], [[OnlySaneWoman Ishmael]], [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Sinclair]], [[ShellShockedVeteran Gregor]], [[GenkiGirl Don Quixote]], [[MadArtist Ryōshū]], [[TheSmartGuy Faust]], [[InnocentlyInsensitive Hong Lu]], [[ProfessionalButtKisser Outis]], and [[TheStoic Meursault]]]]

The twelve Fixers in the employ of Limbus Company.

[[folder:In General]]
* TheCaper: Canto II of the game is Limbus Company's planned heist to get into the J Corp casino where a Golden Bough is located - there are three entrances, and three teams of Sinners will infiltrate the building as guests, employees and [=VIPs=] while their inside men will guide them to the top of the building where a card game will be rigged in their favor to beat out the other Syndicates trying to win their prize. Unfortunately, the plan starts to fall apart mere minutes after the mission briefing was done, and they don’t even get to leave the rendezvous point before things get worse.
* ColourMotifs: As seen from the Tokyo Game Show demo, the language of each Sinner's source text is associated with a specific color and hex code. This is appropriate for the City, as the most powerful Fixers alive are designated with a color-based codename by the Hana Association. Whether the Sinners are known by these colors in the story is as of yet unknown.
** Yi Sang is [[ExhaustedEyebags Dreamy]] Gray - Hex no. d4dfe8.
** Faust is [[InsufferableGenius Cerebral]] Pink - Hex no. ffbfb4.
** Don is [[{{Chuunibyou}} Oblivion]] Yellow - Hex no. ffef23.
** Ryōshū is [[SmokingIsCool Smoky]] Scarlet - Hex no. cf0000.
** Meursault is [[EmptyShell Decay]] Blue - Hex no. 293b95.
** Hong Lu is [[InnocentlyInsensitive Naïve]] Cyan - Hex no. 5bffde.
** Heathcliff is [[HairTriggerTemper Furious]] Violet - Hex no. 4e3076.
** Ishmael is [[SoleSurvivor Isolate]] Orange - Hex no. ff9500.
** Rodya is [[TheHedonist Lusty]] Burgundy - Hex no. 820000.
** Sinclair is [[NaiveNewcomer Immature]] Green - Hex no. 8b9c15.
** Outis is [[TheStrategist Militant]] Olive - Hex no. 325339.
** Gregor is [[BigCreepyCrawlies Verminous]] Brown - Hex no. 69350b.
** Vergilius and Charon share Stygian Cobalt - Hex no. 84a79d.
** Finally, by process of elimination, Dante is Inferno Red- Hex no. b01c37.
* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: To the Sephirot and Roland from ''Library of Ruina''. Both are a group consisting of 12 people going around fighting the City's other denizens and were led by a color fixer who was roped into a deal at the nadir of his life, but unlike the Sephirot and Roland, Limbus Company is consisted of rank-and-file denizens of the City who are at the bottom of the food chain, rather than employees of a former Wing who have ascended into immortality. While the Library is a VillainProtagonist faction that blackholes well-meaning citizens and is responsible for most of the chaos in ''Library of Ruina'', the role is reversed for Limbus Company; Limbus's Sinners are all troubled, but well-meaning citizens pitting off against outright villains. Furthermore, they are sponsored by an entity that is as mysterious as they are manipulative; the Library by the uncannily charming Carmen who is now the single most destructive force of the city, and Limbus Company heavily implied to be the [[spoiler:cunning Purple Tear, who also orchestrated the destruction of Vergilius's life for a currently ambiguous goal.]]
* CordonBleughChef: Unsurprisingly, when the Sinners try to cook something without clear direction, it winds up being so terrible to the point where it's comparable to dumpster diving, as seen in Hell's Chicken. During the Event, Gregor's team is so unruly that the recipe gets ruined by Sinners adding or subtracting various ideas, and Ryōshū's team isn't much better as Sinclair winds up being the only actual cook while all his teammates hover over his shoulder and give contradictory advice.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: The very nature of the City all but guarantees that each Sinner has their own assortment of trauma to deal with and a host of secrets they'd rather not get out. Of particular note is the similarity shown in each of their character promos: each is locked inside a room and wearing the same striped clothing to varying degrees, calling to mind the environment and dress of an actual prison.
* DoomMagnet: Most of the people who met or worked with the Sinners die instantly on the Canto they're met.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: Played with. The various Mirror Identities allow the Sinners to do this, due to them being actual members of those organizations in their alternate timelines. However, none of the enemy factions will acknowledge this, and will happily engage a character wearing the same uniform as them on sight.
* EpicFail: Limbus Company fucks up ''a lot'' over the course of their missions. While some of their mistakes can be chalked up to things beyond their control, such as Hermann and her crew's interference, it's just as likely for their own personalities and poor decisions to run an operation off the rails. To give an example, the near entirety of Canto II is a mad rush from one fiasco to another because of them, completely scuppering Effie and Saude's meticulously prepared casino infiltration plan and turning it into a bonafide festival of chaos -- the Sinners end up having to slaughter a street gang and steal their clothes before they even get ''in the building'', because their mistakes just keep cascading so much they're forced to improvise.
* EveryoneHasStandards: As much of a DysfunctionJunction they are and [[DudeWheresMyRespect a vast majority of them do not respect Dante as their leader]], [[spoiler:they unanimously defend Dante against Nagel und Hammer because despite all their bickering and utilization of their supposed boss as their AutoRevive, the Sinners are firm in their belief that Dante ''has'' a right to live and refuse to hand them over to be [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman executed for having a prosthetic]].]]
* ExhaustedEyeBags: All Sinners with N Corp. Identities have these in said Identities. According to Heathcliff's Kleinhammer dialogue, it's from them being forced to recite scripture until well past the point of exhaustion - even more so if they made any kind of mistake - as a means of indoctrination.
* GenderEqualEnsemble: Six boys (Yi Sang, Meursault, Hong Lu, Heathcliff, Sinclair, and Gregor) and six girls (Faust, Don Quixote, Ryōshū, Ishmael, Rodion, and Outis.) The trope still applies even if one considers Vergilius, Charon, and [[AmbiguousGender Dante]].
* ImageSong: Each of the Sinners sings their own variant of the same song, "Fade Away", in the credits of the Canto focused on them.
** Canto I has Gregor sing a gentle classical rock variant.
** Canto II has Rodion's version, which is backed by a piano and synths resembling the ambient music of the bottom floor of that Canto's dungeon.
** Canto III has Sinclair sing a variant that's more upbeat and backed by an acoustic track.
* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: [[spoiler: As the story progresses, each mission to retrieve a Golden Bough involves it resonating with a Sinner's psyche, usually the one who has direct relations to the circumstances of the mission, resulting in the bottom floor of the dungeon being overlaid with a pocket dimension that reflects the Sinner's traumas, forcing them to relive the memories that brought them to that point. By Canto III, this is a pattern they've all picked up on, and Faust actually confirms that part of the reason the Sinners were selected for Limbus Company was because of the location of the Golden Boughs being related to them, but refuses to elaborate further. Sinclair later realises that they're actually being used as sensors to guide the Company to the Bough's location, with him being able to tell where it is once the resonance starts to occur. Faust's silence in response to this theory basically confirms it.]]
** [[spoiler: Canto I is Gregor's psyche, triggered by encountering previous G Corp soldiers on their way to the Bough. It materializes a looping memory of his days in the Smoke War which gets more horrifying the longer it progresses, culminating with Hermann's hand and feet emerging from the sky to crush them. They're able to escape when allowing one of these hands to capture them, representing how no matter how hard he tried, Gregor was never free of Hermann's control.]]
** [[spoiler: Rodya takes Canto II's dungeon, brought about by it being located under a casino that requires her expertise to navigate and encountering her old friend Sonya and his faction along the way. The bottom floor is completely frozen over to reflect the harsh, cold nature of her life, and at the end is a gigantic palace made of ice, within which all of the neighbours who were killed as a consequence of her past actions are frozen.]]
** [[spoiler: Canto III's is an interesting case, as since it takes place underneath Sinclair's hometown, it resonates with him, but it reflects Kromer also. It's a seemingly endless series of hills made up entirely of human corpses; this reflects Kromer's obsession with flesh, pain, and the atrocities she commits without remorse and Sinclair's guilt over his role in the deaths of his family. In addition, once the Sinners enter the space a school bell starts to ring, symbolizing the point at which Sinclair's life started going horribly, horribly wrong.]]
* LoopholeAbuse: Canto III has the team marked for death after Quixote breaks a K Corp. taboo, and for that they must all die as punishment. After they’re all massacred, the guards don’t seem to care that all twelve of them were brought back to life immediately after, as their sentence was technically served. It's implied that the same guards who exchanged blows with the team were also the ones who finalized their immigration procedure in the very same room they just ruined.
* MoralityKitchenSink: From the kindhearted and amiable Gregor, Rodya, Sinclair, and Dante, to the unrepentantly violent Heathcliff, Ryōshū, Don Quixote, and Vergilius, and on to the cagey, self-sufficient Ishmael, Meursault, and Faust, and ending with the highly eccentric Yi Sang, Hong Lu, Outis, and Charon, Limbus Company is a mess of conflicting worldviews and temperaments, the sole thing uniting them being the terms of their employment and the need to fulfill whatever reason made them sign on to begin with.
* MultinationalTeam: The Sinners are derived from various sources of literature around the world, which seems to correspond in-universe, as the ID for each Sinner is written in the language of the attributed nationality e.g. [[Literature/WutheringHeights Heathcliff]] & [[Literature/MobyDick Ishmael's]] being in English or [[Myth/{{Faust}} Faust]], [[Creator/HermannHesse Emil Sinclair]] and [[Literature/TheMetamorphosis Gregor]] being German.
* NonUniformUniform: At first sight, their clothing looks identical, but closer inspection shows a different truth. Only Hong Lu wears his uniform in a "complete" way (vest, coat and tie) while others prefer to either personalize their uniform or not bother with certain pieces of it. Don Quixote adorns it with various Fixer merch, Faust wears a turtleneck sweater underneath her vest, Heathcliff ditched his vest and coat, etc.
* NormalFishInATinyPond: The Sinners are an eclectic collection of war veterans, gangsters, revolutionaries, vigilantes, and hired guns from across the City. The game also opens on them failing to protect Dante from a trio of assassins despite possessing a substantial numerical advantage, requiring them all to be bailed out by Vergilius. From the onset, it's made quite blatant that they start the story as being well below the level of Color Fixers and other high-level combatants in the setting. It even eventually transpires that none of them were recruited for being particularly strong, rather they were picked due to their affinities with the [[spoiler:Golden Bough]] locations. On the other hand, Dante notes that Ryōshū used to be stronger before being recruited into Limbus Company, so there may be another factor on some Sinners quite literally bringing them down to an inferior level.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Fixers both battle-hardened and upstart, Smoke War veterans, and Wing scientists all hailing from different parts of the urban hellscape that is the City to create a colorful but also incredibly dysfunctional Fixer crew of explorers.
* RightHandVersusLeftHand: Even compared to prior groups in the series, the Sinners are a particularly colorful kind of DysfunctionJunction that can just ''barely'' coexist alongside one another, much less work together effectively—even their one unifying factor in [[ThePlayerIsTheMostImportantResource Dante]] is given much less respect than prior leader-figures in the series, being treated more as their collective AutoRevive instead of their actual leader.
* TheShadowKnows: All of the Sinners' individual E.G.Os have a shadow in the background of the artwork, hinting at facets of their character.
** Yi Sang's ''Crow's Eye View'' has a single wing.
** Faust's ''Representation Emitter'' has three human figures cast from Faust's own shadow.
** Don Quixote's ''La Sangre de Sancho'' has a horse's skeleton.
** Ryōshū's ''Forest for the Flames'' has a butterfly.
** Meursault's ''Chains of Others'' has an eye.
** Hong Lu's ''Land of Illusion'' has a bell.
** Heathcliff's ''Bodysack'' has a tombstone.
** Ishmael's ''Snagharpoon'' has an anchor.
** Rodion's ''What is Cast'' has an axe swinging downwards.
** Sinclair's ''Branch of Knowledge'' has a tree with what appears to be a snake coiled around it, as well as half of the room in the E.G.O. being cast in shadows.
** Outis's ''To Pathos Mathos'' has a caduceus staff.
** Gregor's ''Suddenly, One Day'' has many warped arms reaching towards the sky.
* ShoutOutThemeNaming: Every single one of their names is a reference to a work of literature.
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Sinners explicitly and messily die both in combat and in the middle of cutscenes, only to be brought back in the next scene no real worse for wear.
* YouAreNumberSix: Every sinner has a number, which is printed on their coat. The 10 is Dante.

----
* BizarreTasteInFood: As seen in the Hell's Chicken event, he seems to have a bizarre fondness for food that's gone bad; he's noted to be the only Sinner to be completely fine after drinking spoiled milk, and Meursault has to confiscate a poisonous yam from him when he grows overly-attached to it.
* ChildProdigy: He used to be the youngest chief researcher of a redacted Wing before becoming a Sinner (with ''{{Webcomic/Leviathan}}'' revealing that it's [[spoiler: N Corp]]).
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: He was brought in to mediate Don Quixote and Emil Sinclair for games of chess; Sinclair pointed out Don would frequently be asking Yi Sang for advice, only for the latter to reveal that he was moreso helping because of - and bemused by - the fact Don is a ''terrible' chess player.
* CoatCape: His default Identity wears his uniform coat like this.
* ContemplateOurNavels: Does this a ''lot,'' to the point it's more or less how he naturally talks.
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:He tells Dante at the start of Canto IV Part 2 that his most hopeless moments involved him coming back from the dead at the hand of their rewind powers. However, by the end of Canto IV, he is shown to be gradually getting over this after he made peace with his past and the events of the chapter.]]
* DeviousDaggers: Uses daggers as his weapon of choice. While not quite overtly dangerous as Heathcliff or Ryōshū, his fighting style involves inflicting and exploiting [[SanitySlippage Sinking]].
* DitzyGenius: Intelligent though he may be, his more eccentric behaviors -- such as drinking spoiled milk --definitely evoke this.
* ExhaustedEyebags: Yi Sang sports some very heavy ones; said eyebags are present in all of his playable Identities.
* FeatherMotif: He has a notable motif with feathers, which represents his background as a head Researcher at [[spoiler:N Corp.]] His E.G.O. also creates multiple black feathers when in use.
* NotSoAboveItAll: In general, despite his looks and the character archetype he fills, he's just as prone to silliness and incompetence as the rest of the team:
** During the casino brawl in Canto II, he willingly hands Ryōshū his dagger so she can pull off a FallingChandelierOfDoom.
** He goes off on another philosophical spiel regarding a "serene flower" he found sprouting on a yam, which Meursault is quick to inform him is poisonous and needs to be thrown away. Yi Sang starts devolving into WordSaladPhilosophy about the state of being "burnt" to try and dissuade Meursault, who simply states the definition of "burnt", describes why the yam is and the dangerous effects it has on the body, and throws it away. Yi Sang is visibly ''upset'' by this whole debacle. [[LampshadeHanging Dante was quick to hang the lampshade on the situation.]]
-->'''Dante:''' Meursault became a ruthless chef, while Yi Sang [[TheLoad remained mostly unhelpful.]]
* OddNameOut: Unlike all other Sinners, who are named after ''characters'' from world classics, Yi Sang is named after a ''writer''. The significance of this is yet unknown, but it might be due to Korean literature in general being less about characters and more about prose. Either way, his name sticks out.
* PetTheDog: He rouses himself to defend Yuri during Canto I after one of her coworkers lambasts her for not knowing what a certain Abnormality is.
* ThePhilosopher: Whereas Faust has high intelligence and knowledge of the City and such concepts at large, Yi Sang falls more distinctly under here.
* TheQuietOne: Spends most of his time in thought about whatever situation has his focus. As a result, he's usually silent because he's trying to process as much information as he can before coming to a theory he can voice. Faust comments this is only a recent development.
* RequiredPartyMember: [[spoiler:Unlike previous story dungeons, Yi Sang is required to participate in all battles taking place in the story dungeon of Canto IV. He also gains unique E.G.O gift that temporarily boosts his level to the maximum and unlocks him to max Uptie.]]
* SanitySlippage: The [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt visions he saw at the hands of Doomsday Calendar]] caused him to rapidly devolve into maddened rambling in his observation of the Abnormality, which Faust adds by stating he needed to be put into recovery following the event.
* TheSmartGuy: Shares this position among the Sinners with Faust. What contrasts them is that while Faust is [[InsufferableGenius constantly bragging and showing off her intellect]], Yi Sang is more [[TheQuietOne quiet and reflective]].
* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: He’s more prone to announcing his feelings in an utterly exhausted and moody tone than actually showing them. Case in point, when Dante puts him on the spot to dance for Los Mariachis he simply states ''"My inner voice expresses fear."''
* ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself: At the end of Canto IV [[spoiler:after Dongrang lunges at him for the third time, Yi Sang decides that he must be the one to lay down his former colleague - the other Sinners don't interfere.]]
* ThrowTheBookAtThem: The first coin for End-stop Stab has him swipe a book against his foes.
* {{Teleportation}}: His E.G.O., "Crow's Eye View = ivroC ilucO susiV", is capable of teleporting him to his target.
* VerbalTic: He tends to say words that have his name in them when said in Korean, such as "ideal" or "strange".
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:It's implied that his innocent creation of the Mirror alongside his colleague Young-ji is what caused the collapse of the Nine Literateurs and irreversibly damaged the ties between him, Gubo, Dongrang and Dongbaek.]]
!! Identities
!!! Blade Lineage Salsu
* CriticalHitClass: His entire kit is based around gaining and abusing stacks of Poise - the more he has, the better chance he has at critting, with his big, third skill unlocked at Uptie 3 even synergizing with it (though making it ''work'' as intended is entirely up to RNG).
!!! Seven South Section 6
* GratuitousFrench: All of his skills in this Identity have French names, unlike their other counterparts' titles, which are rather self-explanatory.
!!! Effloresced E.G.O::Spicebush
* CombatHandFan: He is seen holding a fan made of the same flowers as his E.G.O, which he hits enemies with in some of his moves.
* DanceBattler: His sprite's movements consist of twirling and gracefully making use of a spicebush branch and a CombatHandFan.
* DecompositeCharacter: Is a playable version of Dongbaek's 2nd boss fight, with Heathcliff getting her Lobotomy E.G.O. instead.
* HerdHittingAttack: The first Identity that has an Area of Effect attack baked into its moveset, with his second skill gaining the ability to target 3 slots if he has 6 Tremor to consume. This is also facilitated by his passives, which grant him 30% bonus damage when using a multi-target attack, and can grant a smaller 10% buff to allies with the lowest SP if he's in a support position.

----
* TheAce: Her exceptional intelligence grants her talent over several fields such as engineering, per her own words she knows everything there is to know about the City, she's more than capable as a combatant with a full blown Zweihander, and it's implied she can do much more mundane tasks very well, such as dancing. She ''will'' let you know about this.
%%* AntiPoopSocking: The Afternoon Greetings with her base Identity and to a lesser extent as a Lobotomy Corp. Clerk can be read as subtly nudging the player about this.
%%-->'''Faust:''' Faust considers short periods of exposures to sunlight to be a useful activity.
* {{BFS}}: Her weapon of choice is a Zweihander named Walpurgisnacht, a decorated stone-gray blade with a skull built into its hilt.
* CombatMedic: Her Season 1 E.G.O. Fluid Sac lets her behave as one. Compared to Meursault's similarly-functioning Pursuance, which doesn't work on himself and only heals and applies Protection to two allies with the lowest current health, Fluid Sac heals every member of the team when used, including Faust herself, and can even recover SP, albeit its recovery potency is markedly weaker.
%%* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife:
* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: Her eyes are almost always half-lidded, and she's described as being chronically lethargic.
* EyesAlwaysAverted: Dante notes that she always stares off into space when she speaks, and only ever looks directly at someone when she's incredibly frustrated.
* GoOutWithASmile: In the prologue, despite her and the rest of the team being defeated rather anticlimactically by Wolf, Lion, and Panther, she can’t help but give a confident grin to Dante even while she’s being stabbed to death. She knows full well that Dante is about to learn how they can resurrect the Sinners, so dying is obviously not a reason to worry for her.
* HatesSmallTalk: She doesn’t quite hate it, but as Dante finds out, she’s pretty bad at it. When they ask a simple question about the bus they use, she can’t help but compliment her own genius, point out their ignorance, and eventually bluntly yet also vaguely answer their actual question and ends the exchange with some awkward silence. In Dante’s own words, 'She's downright oppressive to talk to'.
* HiddenDepths:
** According to her Evening Greeting line, she used to enjoy stargazing.
** By her own admission, Faust implies she has some level of skill at dancing, though admits it holds no weight when the Los Mariachis Syndicate are looking for exactly something not technically perfect.
* HypercompetentSidekick: Faust knows ''far'' more than the other Sinners about Limbus Company's purpose and what their end goal is, and explicitly has ties to the company staff that the others don't. She is also aware of the intricacies of Dante's situation, fully anticipating her resurrection upon the Sinners' total party kill in the Prologue before they even know how to do so. In addition, she did recruit Vergilius and Charon personally in the tie-in webcomic, and thus she's the only Sinner that Vergilius shows respect to, even to the point of deferring to her in certain situations. All of this results in someone who is obviously more than she appears to be, but who can't be made to divulge what she knows until when ''she'' feels it's appropriate due to her sheer force of personality and gigantic ego. Dante also does some LampshadeHanging to this in their notes.
-->'''Dante''' (in their notes): [...] but Faust won't tell me. She says that the security level is too low for me to access the information, but she seems to know something more. Why does a "Sinner" know more about the company while I'm the "Executive Manager"...?
* IcyBlueEyes: Her eyes are a light blue, and aside from her arrogance, Faust is also noted to have chronic lassitude.
* IndyPloy: When confronted about the Sinners general chaos by Effie and Saude, Faust flat-out admits that she's come to understand that with such a ragtag group as her team, it's pointless to try and make any concrete plans; it's best to just accept that anything and everything is possible, and just go with the flow to see how it takes them to success.
* TheInsomniac: According to her morning greeting, she only sleeps for three hours a night, and was unaware that it was abnormal for a while.
* InsufferableGenius: To the point where the manual explicitly calls her such. She created the engine the bus uses and claims that she can answer pretty much anything the manager asks in her promo trailer. She's a genius, and she won't let anyone forget it.
--> (Character Promo narration): It's Faust. A genius with whom you are lucky to cross paths even once in your life. I'm sure you have a lot of questions, Dante. I can provide an answer to most of your curiosities. If you seek she who holds the answer, Faust is the name to remember. (...) No, let me restate myself. Not just ''most''. '''All of them.'''
* MadScientist: A story snippet indicates her being this. Mephistopheles, the engine powering the Limbus Company bus which the Sinners use to travel around the City, was built by her. It runs off of Enkephalin, once previously harvested by Lobotomy Corporation as an energy source from the Abnormalities: tangible, independent avatars of people's psyches, with the Enkephalin they produce essentially being farmed consciousness, and now stated to be something of a rarity. How do they have enough fuel to run the bus then? Why, they only just ''feed their defeated enemies to Mephistopheles'', their cerebrospinal fluid stoking its engine to run another day. And they're fed to it ''alive'', too, as the Enkephalin gains are greater that way. It's ambiguous as to why she'd invent an engine that runs off an energy source in scarcity, and besides that, Faust doesn't seem to care one bit about the people subjected to it.
* MsExposition: Faust is usually the one who takes up explaining the particulars of their current mission to the rest of the Sinners - operation details, District workings, and seemingly supernatural phenomena all fall within her range of expertise.
* NoSell: While not to the point of [[NonHumanHead Dante]], she's shown to be the only other person able to completely ignore the motion sickness from being lifted by Gregor's recollection of Hermann's hand.
* NotSoAboveItAll:
** When Effie and Saude complain to her about the [[SpannerInTheWorks other Sinners]] ruining their intricate plans, she states that she quickly learned to accept that any plan involving them would have to be a lack of a plan, all said with a faint and amused smile.
** During the Hell's Chicken event, she decides to join Ryōshū's team because she decides that she'd enjoy the riskier option, and instead of actually helping to cook, she just hovers over Sinclair's shoulder to backseat his cooking alongside Rodion, Outis, and Ryōshū. To her credit, she ''did'' end up on the side that won Papa Bongy's favor.
* NumberTwo: Though Vergilius is the guide for the Sinners and Dante is the manager, it's Faust who more or less serves as this to the both of them by way of being the only one who really knows all the details of what they're working with. Additionally, it was her who got Dante aboard Mephistopheles and [[spoiler:convinced Vergilius to join Limbus Company per her claims of being able to restore Lapis and Garnet]]. During actual missions, she's the one who briefs everyone on mission details and the general plan.
* TheReliableOne: Looking past her ego, she's undisputedly this, especially in comparison to the other Sinners, even fellow thinkers [[DitzyGenius Yi Sang]] and [[ProfessionalButtKisser Outis]]. Ishmael outwardly credits her as someone she can actually rely on to make proper judgement (albeit, after unsubtly hiding the fact she would've hit Faust until she explained why they were going through with the Hell's Chicken mission), and Vergilius can actually stand to have a normal conversation with her, compared to his rather unsubtle disapproval for most everyone else and their antics.
* TheSleepless: A downplayed case, as Faust notes she always gets up after three hours of sleep seeming no worse for wear and didn't realize for a while that wasn't a normal thing for most people.
%%* SleepyDepressive:
* TheSmartGuy: Shares this position among the Sinners with Yi Sang, though she's much, much more vocal about her intellect than [[TheQuietOne he is]].
* TheStoic: She's very unexpressive and perpetually talks in a former manner with a low voice. Even when she takes on the more deranged Identity of The One Who Grips, it's at least a ''bit'' more subdued than the real deal of Kromer.
* SupportPartyMember: Three out of her four E.G.O buff party members (with the fourth only debuffing enemies instead), her base Identity's skills and Support Passive all either apply debuffs or give allies the chance to apply debuffs, and ''all'' of her Identities buff her allies in some way. Faust's specific niche is in SP regeneration -- her The One Who Grips identity, as well as both her Representation Emitter and Fluid Sac E.G.Os, regenerate the sanity of her allies.
* TheTell: As Dante notes, if she's actually looking at you when she's talking, she's ''really'' unamused by whatever you just did.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Occasionally, especially when boasting about her intelligence. This can best be seen in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZnTCA8rphk cutscene 1-07]].
-->'''Faust:''' Faust is a well-renowned genius. She knows ins and outs of the City.
* TranslatorBuddy: She often fills this role for Dante when they need to speak with Vergilius or someone outside of Limbus Company.
* UniformityException: Her personal E.G.O, "Representation Emitter", is the only one of the Sinners' personal E.G.Os to not have its image include barbed wire in the foreground, nor does she wear InstitutionalApparel in it - though it is hung up to the side, rather than excluded entirely.
** An [[InvertedTrope inverted case]] regarding her appearance; the photos used for each Sinner's ID showcases them in the clothes they were wearing when they were first recruited, but Faust wears the exact same attire as she does now as a Sinner, as she was ''already'' a member of Limbus Company before she joined the group aboard the bus.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Her glistening white hair is offset by her complete lack of morality, limited empathy, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking titanic ego.]] When the bus is first fed live subjects in front of everyone, she’s explicitly noted to only have a cold and unflinching look at the people being ground alive while almost everyone else is shocked or confused.
** Jokingly, while Outis is lambasting various sinners for their "health problems" by blaming them for their diets (Sinclair's height, Ishmael's rough hands), she correlates Faust's hair color to poor nutrition as well. Faust is quick to try and correct this by stating it's her natural color.
* WickedWitch: Her personal E.G.O, "Representations Emitter", evokes this archetype, transforming her zweïhander into a broomstick and deploying an AOE effect featuring an array of esoteric symbols. The 'Walpurgisnacht' is a festival held on the 30th of April and is a gathering of witches. Her [[LackOfEmpathy personality]] certainly fits the mold as well.
* WrenchWench: She's the engineer behind the creation of Mephistopheles, a complex piece of machinery that interacts with at least one [[ClarkesThirdLaw Singularity]] through its Identity Extraction function (and possibly more given that it runs on Enkephalin and can also extract E.G.O.). During the opening cutscene of Dante's Notes, she's seen swapping her zweihander for some tools as she performs maintenance and repairs on Mephistopheles.
!! Identities
!!! Lobotomy Corp. Remnant
* CombatPragmatist: Implied by her third Skill, Opportunistic Strike, which becomes stronger if Faust avoided taking any damage during the previous round of combat.
* CompositeCharacter: Faust's ''Lobotomy Corp. Remnant'' Identity is her living Yuri's life, from being a former Lobotomy Corp. employee to working as a fixer in her Identity Story. She even wears the exact same outfit as Yuri, down to the eye bandage.
* CriticalHitClass: Her second skill and passive ability both focus on stacking Poise and Haste on herself.
* FragileSpeedster: She has a good natural Speed stat, augmented by her ability to gain large amounts of Haste to easily put her at the top of the speed order, but she suffers from low health and defense stats.
* HandicappedBadass: Due to being an analogue of Yuri, this version of Faust is blind in the right eye, though it's not like it stops her from slicing enemies to bloody ribbons.
* TookALevelInKindness: She has a lot less of her InsufferableGenius traits, and the conditions Yuri had to survive in translate to this version of Faust being much more genuinely appreciative of being aboard the bus with the other Sinners and Dante as her manager.
-->'''Faust:''' ...My old job had a manager, too. Though I never had a chance to talk with them directly like I do now. This is new to me... but it isn't bad.
!!! W Corp. L2 Cleanup Agent
* {{Irony}}: She states she, the inventor of Mephistopheles in the base timeline, isn't a fan of locomotive travel. Given her job, however, it's hard to call her unjustified.
!!! The One Who Grips
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Zigzagged. Much like Kromer, she saw the AlternateSelf of Sinclair who partnered up with her to exterminate all prosthetic users, and became obsessed with him. But she also muses that some alternate worlds may be abhorrent admirers to herself, and Faust's usual self-confidence in herself causes her to think those other realities won't succeed as she has, equating their own (and thus Kromer's) abhorrent admiration to jealousy.
* LaughingMad: She has a propensity to giggle unsettlingly, and narration in her third uptie cutscene indicates she often pauses to laugh maniacally to herself.
* LoopholeAbuse: In this identity backstory, Faust is planning an assault on Sinclair's hometown after getting from him info on it's residents. She begins to have second thoughts about doing this after realizing that they haven't yet replaced their brain - the "purest" part of human body... before casually deciding to just ''crush their heads along the way'', so there won't be anything "pure" left.
* MovesetClone: This Identity pretty much functions like a powered-down version of Kromer's first phase, having the same skillset and animations minus the passive healing when inflicted with Bleed or Burn damage [[note]] She ''can'' wear the Hex Nail E.G.O however, which is equipped with a passive that lets her become more dangerous the more negative status effects she has, directly boosting her damage up to 50%.[[/note]]
* NeckLift: The Gripping has Faust lifting her victim up by the neck where she would drive nails into them. Due to how skill animations work, this means that she can even lift enemies much bigger than herself, or even those that ''don't have a neck'' like Abnormalities or bosses.
* PsychoElectro: Unlike Kromer, Faust's version as The One Who Grips gets to use electric powers in combat, shocking enemies while throttling or punching nails through them, though like Kromer, she's every bit as unhinged.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Despite being the analogue to Kromer in this Mirror World, Faust still seems to deliver her lines in her usual manner, with her dialogue being both dripping with zealous sadism and yet light and whispery at the same time.
* SupportPartyMember: While no slouch in direct combat, she has numerous ways to support her team, mainly through healing their SP and bolstering the damage of Pierce and Blunt Skills, especially if they're N-Corp Identities.
* ThisCannotBe: Her Check Failed and defeat quotes are variations of this, with Faust exclaiming in disbelief that one such as herself could possibly lose.
* {{Yandere}}: Not unlike the actual Kromer, this version of Faust's level of obsession with Sinclair is escalated to frightening levels. In her third tier uptie cutscene, she declares her intent to kill all of the "heresy" surrounding him, and being fixated on the idea of a destined partnership where he fights by her side to "purge" those who use prosthetics.

----
* AntiquatedLinguistics: Deluded as she is, she speaks in an archaic and chivalrous dialect. This is one way you can tell whether an abnormality report was written by her.
--> "I see my time has come! I am Don Quixote! Do you carry a dream, Manager Esquire? Verily, I do! I shall bring about a world where justice prevails! Does this not pique your curiosity?"
* [[AscendedFanboy Ascended Fangirl]]: Don's profile notes that she's always idolized Fixers, and still wears merchandise of them that she's collected overtime. And now she's joined Limbus Company and become a Fixer herself, though is still a far cry from her own image of what a Fixer ought to be.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: She's easily distracted by the flashing lights and sounds of the slot machines in Canto II's casino, drawing Dante's attention to them and causing them to waste all the wishpower stolen from the Tingtang Gang on a jackpot, drawing the attention and ire of casino security, as well as the other gamblers who attempt to steal their chips.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: She’s the shortest of the Sinners, plays with toys in her cell and has a disposition like that of a WomanChild who's trying to be a hero - but she’s also capable of astonishing acts of violence, with Canto III showing her pinning Sinclair down to the ground while pummeling his face hard enough to splatter blood on herself, all to snap him out of his despair-induced bloodlust.
* BizarreTasteInFood: Her entry on the chicken-like Pongy involves her gushing about their different flavours, while the other Sinners realise in horror that she's been [[ExtremeOmnivore eating them raw]].
* BreakTheCutie: Happens temporarily in Canto III, after creating so many problems for Vergil throughout her employment, he finally snaps and makes an example of her in front of everyone while she can only stammer out her heroes creed as her justification. After being beaten up on the floor, likely having her arm and shoulder broken and being made to fear for her life by the Red Gaze, Dante admits to themself that they can’t help but feel a little bad over seeing her so quiet and dejected when she’s normally so proud and energetic.
* ChekhovsGun: Her fangirling over Siegfried. [[spoiler: After dealing with the Abnormality that wreaked havoc on K Corp's Nest, she wonders why Siegfried didn't show up during something so 'sensational'. The others start wondering about why it was kept out of the publicity while it was obviously being filmed. This gives the reader the first clue of K Corp's true nature]].
* {{Chuunibyou}}: No wonder, as she's based off a character who's arguably the UrExample of this. She seems to be living in her own grandiose fantasy, without even acknowledging its stark contrast to reality.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: And how: the manual describes her as having "delusions of grandeur" (not unlike her inspiration), and her personal 'cell' literally has her playing with toys on a colorful playmat. Despite this, however, she is still capable of incredible violence.
* CordonBleughChef: Under Don's cooking direction in Canto 3.5, the Sinners on her team create an absolute failure of a dish. When describing what she did, Don notes that she made use of both chocolate and oranges. In a ''chicken'' dish.
* CuteBruiser: She’s one of the shortest team members, acts like a rampant {{Womanchild}} eager to jump into a fight, and her weapon is a heavy lance that’s way taller than she is. [[note]] The size of her lance is actually normal for a lance...it's just that lances are supposed to be wielded ''on horseback''. [[/note]]
* DissonantSerenity: Sincere jolliness is a rarity in the City, especially coming from Fixers, whose entire career revolves around fighting and bloodshed. In contrast to many Fixers seen before, and ''especially'' the rest of the gloomy Sinners in the crew, Don is sporting an almost permanent and confident smile.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: During their confrontation with the Tingtang Gang, one of them mentions that Don's 'unusual pupils' could fetch a fair price if her eyes were to be sold, implying that the starry twinkle she gets in her eye when excited is something that actually ''physically manifests'' in her eyes and not just a visual cue.
* FanGirl: Idolizes Fixers, coating her clothing in innumerable accessories bearing their respective logos. One might be familiar to players of Project Moon's previous game, VideoGame/{{Library Of Ruina}}: the insignia of the Color Fixer, the Purple Tear.
** Everyone on the team is at least dismissive of Vergil for his shitty attitude and harsh methods of keeping people in line, except Don Quixote, who thinks he’s one of the coolest Fixers and is proud to be working for him. It’s a really one-sided affection on her part.
** Meeting Siegfried in K Corp's territory puts her through a complete stammering fangirl meltdown, which earns her an autograph later despite being killed by the guy just earlier:
---> '''Don Quixote''': Th, tha, the, tha, th-tha, the, th, th, tha, that, TH, THE, HH, THAT MAN, HE, HIM, THE MAN HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (…) F, fe, fa, feh, afa... a fan, I am! I have collected figurines sculpted after you! Though I've yet to get my hands on limited editions... I set my heart on becoming a magnificent Fixer such as you!
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Aside from some light teasing from Rodion, nobody really likes working with Don for her obnoxious personality and constant meddling with their plans. Even antisocial people like Meursault or foul personalities like Ryōshū get along better with the rest of the team by comparison.
* GenkiGirl: Bears a wide smile in most of the promotional material and is intensely animated, virtually shouting her introduction compared to the other sinners. The manual calls her "over-passionate". Kim Yea-lim fittingly voices her with a Genki Power™ you can feel in your ''bones''.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: In Canto III, when [[spoiler:Sinclair is having a breakdown and repeatedly stabbing the corpses of dead Inquisitors]], Don confidently declares that she knows how to snap him out of it... and proceeds to do so by throwing him to the ground and beating his face in, until he's so stunned all he can do is cry. She claims that this is the same thing a group she was in prior would do to ''her'' whenever she got too out of hand.
* GoodIsDumb: Her heart is genuinely in the right place - but in a setting like [[CrapsackWorld the City]], her actions come across as naïve at best and ''suicidally'' stupid at worst.
* HeightAngst: Easily the shortest Sinner, and apparently she takes offense to being called Chiquita by Rodion as a tease.
* HiddenDepths: When Don channels her usual brand of enthusiasm into a dance for the Los Mariachis Syndicate, they dismiss it as failing to reflect any genuine feelings. Her [[TranquilFury uncharacteristically stoic]] reaction suggests they struck a nerve.
* IconicItem: Her "Rocinante" shoes, which she wears in every single one of her Identities. Even her N-Corp Mittenhammer Identity, where she wears the standard full-body Inquisitor uniform, has a few other Inquisitors in her uptie cutscene note that she apparently still wears them ''under her armor''.
* InstantArmor: Manifesting her personal E.G.O "The Blood of Sancho" gives her a set of knight's armor and an upgraded lance.
* JoustingLance: Wields a great big lance as her signature weapon. Her E.G.O weapon, "The Blood of Sancho", is a particularly long, crimson and serrated lance that she slowly skewers her opponent with while trying to push it through.
* JumpScare: All Sinners have dialogue if you idle for too long in the main menu, most of which are a polite reminder that they're waiting for you to come back... except for Don, who will ''loudly'' shout as hard as she can to get your attention, headphones be damned.
--> '''MANAGER ESCQUIIIRRREEE! TO WHERE IN THE WORLD HAST THOU DISAPEAAARRREEED?!'''
* KnightErrant: Exactly like her literary inspiration, she's shown to have cobbled together a metal chest plate, shoulder pauldrons, and presumably other armor pieces over her suit prior to being hired by Limbus Company, which is partially shown through her mugshot in the Theater tab of the game; the implication being that this was her armor she'd go out in as a Fixer-errant.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Deconstructed (rather appropriately, given her literary inspiration), though not in her eyes: she sees Fixers as noble -- despite the fact many are greedy mercenaries at best, and savage killers with a license at worst, postures herself as a "righteous Fixer" (the manual itself explicitly questions whether such a thing has ever even ''existed''), and wields a knightly lance. While idealistic, she is not necessarily much more heroic than her peers.
* TheLoad: While she's pretty good while in combat, when it comes to the finer details of missions, Don's insistence on [[GoodIsDumb doing the right thing more often than not causes more trouble for the Sinners.]] [[spoiler:This eventually leads to Vergilius to verbally tear into her after her antics leads to the Sinners violating one of K Corp's taboos]].
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: InUniverse, when she plays Gubo in Canto IV.
* NoIndoorVoice: ''All'' of her standard voice lines are shouted out loud instead of spoken at normal volume, which can be quite startling if set as the main menu secretary, or if she's the one greeting the player upon booting up the game.
* NoodleIncident: When [[spoiler:Vergilius tears into Don in Canto III, he mentions a "deal" they made that led to her being hired, but the specifics of said deal have yet to be made known. There's also mention of a third incident that lead to trouble for the company: assuming Vergilius didn't count two separate incidents in Canto 2, there must have been one before the story started]].
* OddFriendship: Seemingly with Heathcliff of all people, having expressed both the intention to cosplay two 'Fixers del Atardecer Ardiente' together with him, and being one of the only sinners that seemed concerned when Heathcliff had a chicken stuck on his head. [[spoiler: [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Surprisingly reciprocated when Heathcliff asks Dante to revive her first, and then himself in Canto IV]] ]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: Implied. Although Don among the shortest Sinners and looks about Sinclair's age, she refers to the latter as "Young Sinclair", and bristles whenever someone refers to her in a diminutive way or compares her to a child. Helped by the fact that in her Shi Association Identity, she's high ranked enough to be the Director of their section, which would imply she's at least older than Heathcliff and Ishmael, who are her subordinates in said Identity.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Don's voice goes uncharacteristically low when the Mariachi members say that her dancing shows her to be insincere and lacking a pure heart. [[spoiler: Later, she goes dead silent after Vergilius tears into her for getting Limbus Company in trouble by violating one of K Corp's taboos, before bringing up a mysterious deal that they made when he recruited her]].
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Delusions of heroism don't stop her from being very violent as long as she's fighting 'villains'. Best seen in Canto I when, after Ryōshū kills Ishmael and Heathcliff for seemingly no reason, Don Quixote impales her in the skull all the while sporting a smile on her face and saying she can't let such unjustified violence go unpunished.
* ShoutOut: Aside from sharing her name with her literary counterpart, her E.G.O., "The Blood of Sancho", refers to Quixote's loyal partner in the story who helped him along with his adventures. Likewise, her worn-out and ragged shoes are named after Rocinante, the old and lame horse her counterpart rode.
* SkewedPriorities: The beginning of Canto III has her cause such a massive disturbance that the team needs to fight off immigration security, attract the attention of who’s more than likely a ''Color Fixer'' to the fight, get painfully killed and revived, and overall made the simple task of crossing District borders take far longer than it needed to. Don doesn’t really acknowledge most of it, and is, instead, more fixated on fawning and giggling over the autograph that said Fixer gave her.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the sole female Sinner on Gregor's team during the Hell's Chicken event on account of being horrified by seeing [[{{Pyromaniac}} Ryōshū's prior experience with cooking chicken just earlier.]]
* StepfordSmiler: Implied to a degree. When dancing for Los Mariachis with her usual enthusiasm, they state that it's insincere and lacks heart, to which she responds dejectedly in an uncharacteristically low voice.
* {{Tomboy}}: Her character design is decidedly boyish, with short hair, a small bust, and a relatively deep voice that can make her pass for a young man instead.
* TooDumbToLive: Canto III ''starts'' with her letting her ChronicHeroSyndrome get the better of her and, against the ''explicit instructions'' of Vergilius and the rest of the Sinner's advice, she ''violates one of K Corp's taboos''.
!! Identities
!!! Shi South Section 5 Director
A version of Don Quixote who became a Director within the Shi Association, who oversees fellow Section members Heathcliff and Ishmael. While keeping up a facade of cheerfulness that her base self has, her real feelings are far less joyful than she lets on.
----
* AFatherToHisMen: She intentionally attempts to invoke this for her subordinates, Heathcliff and Ishmael, by hiding away her true feelings about their line of work and trying to be a sturdy, cheerful rock for them to rely on even in their grueling line of work. She's even willing to argue with her own superiors when she feels like they're pushing her subordinates too hard with their work.
* StepfordSmiler: ''Shi Section 5 Director'' Don acts like her normal self with colleagues as a way to [[CopeByPretending endure her job as an assassin]]. When working alone, she's the complete opposite, becoming an [[TheStoic expressionless killer]] while on the job.
!!! W Corp. L3 Cleanup Agent
A version of Don Quixote who managed to secure a lofty position at W Corp. as one of their WARP Train agents, completely unaware of the true nature of her new job.
----
* BreakTheCutie: She goes through this through her Identity Story. She goes from enthusiastically asking questions about her job, to soon realizing how [[DarkSecret WARP trains actually work]]. The passive unlocked alongside this story is also named '''[[DespairEventHorizon Broken Spirit]]'''.
* GatheringSteam: She’s a fairly good fighter from the get-go, but once Uptied to her max potential she unlocks Rip Space, a multi-hit attack that can deal massive damage. It can be used at any time it shows up, but it will hurt Don for a chunk of her health (and lacks the +4 skill power on each coin flip, which is normally only +2) if she hasn’t gathered 10 Charge before using it, thus encouraging her to fight with her other two skills first before finishing someone off with Rip Space.
* PortalCut: W Corp's tech allows access to extradimensional spaces, which has the secondary use of serving as pretty good blades for armed personnel, which is what Don is charging before using.
* TemptingFate: W Corp Don (initially) ''loves'' her job and frequently offers Dante a free train ride and lunch with them aboard said train. Players familiar with ''VideoGame/LibraryOfRuina'' will know why this is an absolutely '''''horrible''''' offer to take up.
--> "To think the company provideth midday meals...! I am infatuated! I would remain employed here for eons if I could!"
--> "Have you ridden one of W Corp's trains, Manager Esquire? (gasp) Not once?! Hold it, I... Give me a moment!"
!!! N Corp. Mittelhammer
----
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Subverted – on the brainwashed part, anyways. Other Nagel und Hammer members note that Don Quixote is an extreme fanatic entirely of her own accord, without needing to have her reasoning lowered by eating their canned rations, which are implied to be drugged. She took the teachings of the One Who Grips entirely to heart.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Though she doesn't even consider herself one. This is just Don Quixote who believes in the teachings of Nagel Und Hammer and justifies her world view, painting people with prosthetics as convenient villains to be defeated.

----
* AlternateCharacterReading: Her name is another reading of the Japanese characters for Yoshihide.
* AnimalMotifs: Butterflies. Her symbol as a Sinner is a butterfly, she has a shadow of a butterfly in the art of ''Forest for the Flames'', her ''Fourth Match Flame'' E.G.O has her with tail strands and antennae of a butterfly, and her nodachi's handle has a butterfly pattern. In Japan, butterflies are often worn as a pattern on the kimonos and yukatas of girls and young women [[ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth but are also seen as the incarnations of dead souls in some regions, with large swarms of butterflies foretelling an imminent death]].
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Silent most of the time, outside battle or the opportunity to show off her 'homework'.
* BloodKnight: According to her profile, her eyes "shine with a euphoric gleam only during battle". Because of this, she's usually seen smiling whenever there's bloodshed or suffering going on. During the beginning of Canto III when the group wastes time by attacking K Corp. guards, she's noted to be absolutely miserable while she complains about how their instant healing medicine is preventing even an ounce of blood from leaking out.
* BroughtDownToBadass: While the details are unknown, Dante briefly notes during Canto II that she used to be stronger before joining Limbus Company, but that she's still very much capable of kicking ass.
* ClusterBleepBomb: When Ryōshū is put to the task of out foul-mouthing a Syndicate to get them to the Casino's top floor, she does so with gusto, going on a monologue that's apparently so vulgar and descriptive that every other word she says is visibly censored and audibly bleeped out. And all with a smile on her face.
* CoatCape: She wears her blazer like this in her default Identity, draping it over her shoulders while using a strap to hold it in place.
* DanceBattler: Implied, though not seen. In Canto II, Ryōshū offers up a sword dance as a means of pacifying the Mariachi Syndicate; though as Dante well knows by now she'd be more likely to ''kill'' the Syndicate members with the opportunity, she is disallowed from doing so.
* FallingChandelierOfDoom: She tries to invoke this by throwing one of Yi Sang's knives at the chandelier's tubing to deal with J Corp's security. [[SubvertedTrope It doesn't do anything]].
* FourIsDeath: The fourth numbered sinner and while usually quiet she is also the most openly murderous of the bunch.
* FunWithAcronyms: A schtick of Ryōshū's is that she'll abbreviate whole sentences into acronyms that often others will have to translate to understand what she's saying. These can result in words themselves, like SANGRIA, complete nonsense words, non-english words like ''UITGAAN'' (Dutch) or ''OSHARE'' (Japanese), and the memorable ''BARF''.
* GlassCannon: Her base passive, Indiscriminate Art, makes it so that she'll deal an extra 25% damage, but ''receive'' an extra 25% of incoming damage as trade off. Combined with her chances to gain Poise and Slash Damage buffs, she can deal monstrous damage but is one bad clash away from crumbling herself.
* HonorBeforeReason: Dismisses the plan of posing as Tingtang gangsters to infiltrate a casino as cowardly and waltzes into the casino with her usual attire. [[FailedASpotCheck No one notices until Gregor points it out]].
* IncrediblyLamePun: In her document excerpt, in two languages! In the original Korean, she fits her own name into the Japanese word ''yoroshiku'', a generalized word of greeting. In the English subtitles, she says it's "''shure'' nice to meet you".
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Uses a nodachi in her base Identity, which she retains no matter her Identity. Her Kurokumo Clan Identity, meanwhile, wields a normal katana instead. Notably, no matter the identity used, she always possesses this nodachi and ''never'' unsheathes it, even when using her E.G.O.
* LethalChef: Whereas her chef identity is skilled enough that she's considered a gourmet chef (albeit a cannibal one), normal Ryōshū's cooking skills are far from that. Dante describes her attempts at cooking as looking like something that would assassinate Eunbong's chef rather than satisfy his palette, and the food itself is described as "a funeral in [his] mouth". Ryōshū is not particularly pleased by this verdict. The horridness of the food even translates to the fight, as the Papa Bongy boss fought immediately afterward has a hit to his HP and the special status "Poultry Apocalypse" applied.
* MadArtist: She seems to believe destroying an enemy's head is uncultured, and is described as having an aesthetic sense. Given who she's based on, it doesn't take much guessing what her preferred medium is. Her personal code of beauty she even calls [[FunWithAcronyms SANGRIA]]: Succinct Abbreviation Naturally Germinates Rather Immaculate Art, focusing on designs created in little time, and she's particularly fond of "abbreviating" other people.
* MythologyGag: Her Red Eyes E.G.O. is a reference to the Red Mist from VideoGame/LibraryOfRuina, being a trenchcoat-wearing swordswoman wielding a weapon covered in eyes. As a bonus, the two forms of the E.G.O. are both vertical/horizontal {{Clean Cut}}s, just like the Red Mist's own [[LimitBreak Great Split]].
* NightmareFetishist: She's a MadArtist who finds beauty in violence and blood, and her only reaction to seeing the Limbus Company bus [[HumanResources grinding up live humans for fuel]] is a delighted smile.
* NoodleIncident: The manual says that her background is difficult for even the Company to handle, though so far, just why that is hasn't been explained. Muddying the issue is also her promotional artwork, featuring the Five Fingers represented on a hand coming from the darkness behind her, implying an incident that involved ''all'' of the Fingers at once.
* NotSoAboveItAll: During the heist in Canto II, she makes a chandelier fall... which does absolutely nothing. Her dialogue afterwards shows her trying to cover up her embarrassment.
* OreOnna: The Japanese translation renders Ryōshū's personal pronoun as 'ore'.
* PetTheDog: She’s really not all that pleasant to be around, and her introduction to the team makes it crystal clear that she’s fine with killing the rest of the crew over minor annoyances. That said, [[spoiler: by the end of Canto I, where Gregor is obviously going through a terrible time meeting his crazed comrades and re-experiencing the Smoke War, she empathetically - if still a little coldly - loans him her last cigarette to help him calm down.]]
** She also bizarrely seems to favor Sinclair over the other Sinners to some extent, being the only person she actively wants on her team during Hell's Chicken (while also threatening him to join her), likely on account of him being the [[TranslatorBuddy only one who can understand]] her [[FunWithAcronyms vague and violent acronyms]]. Considering that he's usually a metaphorical and literal punching bag for the almost everyone else, it's an odd improvement.
* PlayingWithFire: Ryōshū's personal E.G.O, "Forest for the Flames", appears to cause flames to ignite on enemies that her katana cuts through. She also has access to the "4th Match Flame" E.G.O, which inflicts Burn with a fiery slash, and allows her normal attacks to do so as well.
* {{Pyromaniac}}: To a mild extent. Ryōshū is more well known for her affinity towards blades, but she's also known to enjoy playing with fire in a few cases. The least egregious example being her constant chainsmoking, but at the end of Canto III she can be seen holding her blazing lighter flame under an ''already cooked'' chicken skewer with a pleased grin. Most apparent in a piece of official art posted on Twitter, wherein a chibi Ryōshū can be seen riding on Don Quixote's head, spreading fire around the area Don is romping through. Her fondness for fire not only explains her E.G.O attack inflicting Burn on opponents with a fiery slash, but also why she gets an even more powerful iteration of the Fourth Match Flame, with hers being graded HE while it’s a TETH E.G.O for everyone else in the rest of the series.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: While red eyes aren't terribly uncommon in the City (they're a fairly common body modification), Ryōshū is unique in being the only one among the Sinners to have them. She's also not a very nice person, and they glow when she's angry.
* SheathStrike: [[https://twitter.com/feskarnn/status/1632877475326820352 Closer inspection]] reveals that she (her base identity) never actually unsheathes her blade while in battle. It doesn't stop it from dealing pure Slash damage, somehow. Nor does it hinder her from decapitating Heathcliff and Ishmael in one clean cut.
* SmokingIsCool: Ryōshū is explicitly described as a chain-smoker by her personal profile, and is rarely depicted without a cigarette.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: [[https://dsknsk.tumblr.com/post/687618900996849664/ive-seen-like-five-different-versions-of-art There are at least five ways to spell hers]]. The official is 'Ryōshū'.
* SuperSenses: In Canto [=IV=], Ishmael states that she has the best senses out of all the Sinners. [[spoiler: The fact that the assassin who killed Shrenne could only be sensed by Ryoshu is what tips Ishmael off to them likely being from a high-ranking Section of the Shi Association.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: By far the most unhinged of the Sinners, which is saying something. Her official profiles states that even for the company's standards she might be too difficult to deal with, and in Canto I kills Heathcliff and Ishmael with no provocation because they were being too loud, all the while [[AxCrazy babbling absolute nonsense sentences]]. She's also the only Sinner seemingly unbothered with the massacre and torture of an entire village in Canto III, simply calling their impalements classic, but crude, 'art'.

!!! Kurokumo Wakashu
----
* DamageOverTime: She’s capable of applying a hefty amount of bleed per attack, which mostly serves as her own setup to deal intense follow-up damage to bleeding opponents.
* {{Irony}}: This version of her uses an (unsheathed) katana with impressive and precise cuts and movement. This Identity, however, is a ''Pierce'' specialist, not Slash.
* KimonoFanservice: Taking a cue from Sayo, she wears her kimono with some mild cleavage exposed.

* SurroundedByIdiots: Holds this belief according to one of her chatlines.
--> '''Ryōshū:''' My sources say... that everyone except me is a moron.
!!! R.B. Chef de Cuisine
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: The original Pierre cared dearly for Jack, and the two would had been mistaken for a lovely couple, if not for them running a cannibal bistro. Despite fulfilling Pierre and Jack's roles otherwise, this Ryōshū and Gregor are willing to backstab and kill each other.
* AffablyEvil: Subverted with Gregor however she is this to Dante, offering them a pie to snack on.
* BadBoss: Ryōshū heavily belittles her sous-chef, Gregor, calling him sloppy in handling "ingredients" and a bad cook in general. She outright states she intends to fire or even kill him the moment she has an opportunity to join The Eight Chefs.
* ChefOfIron: A gourmet cannibal bistro proprietor, who's just as good with a chef's knife in combat as she is with it in the kitchen.
* DieLaughing: When she dies she laughs at the irony of a chef being used as an ingredient.
* EvilChef: A given, considering this identity of Ryōshū's cooks for a cannibal clientele.
* HyperactiveMetabolism: Her passive, 'Rustle Up', lets her heal an ally for 15 HP if she kills an enemy; its name implies that she's gutting an enemy and then preparing it to be eaten to said ally, who instantly gains the health benefits of their 'snack'. It doesn't even matter what kind of enemy she kills, however, which can sometimes result in the unsettling (but fitting) image of her gutting a humanoid enemy and feeding their flesh to her teammate.
* ImAHumanitarian: This Ryōshū runs a bistro with human flesh on the menu.
* MythologyGag: This identity is based on Pierre from ''VideoGame/LibraryOfRuina'', right down to cooking human meat pies, her kit being based around healing and inflicting Bleed, and both her base and Uptie III art referencing some of Pierre's cards. She's somehow more powerful than Pierre, though, who was an early opponent that died quickly within the first few fights.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Ryōshū makes it very clear that working with Gregor does ''not'' mean she likes him at all, and she's ready to get rid of him the moment he outlives his usefulness to her.

----
* BadassNormal: When asked about the makeup of his body, Meursault claims he has no excess metal in him. If this means he lacks prosthetic enhancements, then that is an impressive feat, given he can punch powerful beings to death without the very tools most people in the setting need to survive. Averted for some of his identities, which may or may not have some enhancements added in (N Corp being the clearest example)
* TheBigGuy: He's the largest and most muscular Sinner in the crew, and his preferred fighting style is focused on brawling with punches hard enough to send people airborne and across the ground. Uncommon for this trope, but fitting given his inspiration, is that he's incredibly reserved and passive with zero passion for anything, arguably making him lean towards being DumbMuscle if just for the fact that he can't be relied on to ever take initiative or suggest something helpful.
* BlindObedience: He'll do pretty much anything his boss tells him to do, and likewise he rarely does anything notable unless explicitly ordered to. [[spoiler: He even goes so far to claim that if Dante ordered so, he’d help wage a massacre as brutal as what Nagel und Hammer is capable of with only some vocal concerns. However, given that he has enough animosity against N Corp. to break his silence and talk freely, and that he broke away from a career with the Wing, it’s plausible that he has enough inner reservations to at least consider defying an order from Dante should it come down to it.]]
* ChainPain: His EGO, "Chaines d'autrui" (roughly, Chains Given by Others) has him bashing his enemy with chains wrapped around his arms, both entangling them and sending them flying away before he tightens his grip, violently jerking them to a stop.
* TheComicallySerious: His perpetual stoic gaze and demeanor mixed with his huge frame make for more than a few gags regarding how unflappable he is regardless of the situation, as evident in the FunnyBackgroundEvent of Canto III or Heathcliff slamming Gregors team's latest dish into his face while standing there stiff as a statue.
* CriticalStatusBuff: His N Corp Großhammer Identity has the "Obsessive Hammer" passive - if activated while he has 50% or less HP, it removes a status debuff, gives him the Fanatic buff, gives him an Attack Power Up buff, and gives him Protection.
* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler:Canto III reveals he was formerly an employee of N Corp, the Wing which he asserts has the greatest interest in "humanity" out of any in the City. The background of his character banner is also seemingly a street from N Corp famous for its white buildings. And considering that both Kromer and Hermann work for N Corp, they're shaping up to be one of the main antagonists of the story so far.]]
* DesperatelyNeedsOrders: While not "[[TheStoic desperate]]" himself, he makes it clear he's little more than a tool to be used by his superiors, Dante in this case.
* DesperationAttack: His unlockable Season 1 E.G.O. "Screwloose Wallop" can be used this way if Threadspun and the Final Augment passive is unlocked. If used at 25% or less health remaining, Meursault will gain huge buffs to attack power, defense, and haste every turn, but will [[HeroicRROD automatically die after three turns as well]], meaning that either the fight ends first or he does.
* EmptyShell: Like his literary counterpart, Mersault is almost completely devoid of emotion and sees the world in a dull and impartial gray haze, with only hints of curiosity and frustration slipping in as he observes how others act, and how others observe him in turn.
--> "They are difficult to understand. They shed tears, saying they lost money... and they would chuckle after a visit to the theatre. They seem so eager to express themselves... Nevermind. That was a pointless anecdote. It was a waste of my energy."
* ExtremeDoormat: A curious case, as Meursault's character profile listing in his "Particulars" and [[BeigeProse description]], jarringly brief as it is, is very indicative of his overall problem that he refuses to do virtually anything requiring his own mental input beyond what his superiors tell him to, something that gets him in trouble on more than a few occasions had he done literally ''anything'' but stand around.
* GeniusBruiser: In a vacuum, he'd be this. Already a physical powerhouse for the Sinners, he's well spoken and knowledgeable about various subjects, such as the components of the human body and the exact ratios, or his serving as a critic for Gregor's team in the Hell's Chicken event on account of actually knowing what he's talking about; it's a matter of how little he'll be ''proactive'' with his intelligence and leaving it all up to whatever he's ordered to do that he functionally ends up more as DumbMuscle.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: His fighting style revolves around augmented punches using metal gauntlets or gloves that enhance his fists. Even his N Corp. identity, which gives him the secondary weapon of giant nails, has his technique still keep mostly the same, except he’s using his ''punches'' to hammer nails into people.
* HiddenDepths:
** Apparently he knows how to play the pan flute of all things, as shown in a FunnyBackgroundEvent in Canto II.
** The Hell's Chicken event shows he makes for a surprisingly good head chef, and is capable whipping Gregor's RagtagBunchOfMisfits team into shape so they actually end up making a good dish. To the point where the Distorted chef they're serving says the only real problem with his dish is his [[EmptyShell lack of passion]].
* HyperAwareness: He's incredibly perceptive of the world around him, being able to clinically diagnose a person's cause of death simply from a glance as they hit the bus's windshield.
* InterfaceSpoiler: The full artwork for his mugshot in the theater tab shows that he’s got a prominent hammer and nail symbol over his vest, indicating his personal history with N Corp., perhaps even Nagel und Hammer, before joining Limbus.
* IWorkAlone: Objects to Hong Lu's suggestion of letting him take the charge for Gregor's team in the kitchen, stating he isn't one to have assistants.
* JabbaTableManners: Very downplayed, in fact he didn’t even have a table to begin with, but after Vergil buys everyone some kebabs at the end of Canto III, Meursault can be seen using a bottle of sauce to pretty much drench his in the stuff completely, not caring that he’s spilled some on his pants, seat and floor. Ishmael, who’s right next to him on the bus, is visibly annoyed and trying to keep her hair away from him.
* LiteralMinded: Figures of speech are sometimes lost on him.
--> '''Heathcliff:''' …Pardon? Are you 'round the twist? Do you got a chunk of metal for your brains like the folks here?
--> '''Meursault:''' I am 16% proteins, 60% water, 7% minerals, and so forth; I am clearly different in terms of composition.
* LonersAreFreaks: Mentioned by Dante during their first meeting. Despite him being nothing but polite and formal, Dante felt that something was very obviously wrong with him. For his part, Mersault is the least social of the group and is generally uninvolved in most of their antics unless ordered to.
* TheMedic: While he doesn't have it by default, Meursault can get access to one of the strongest support-focused E.G.O abilities: Pursuance. At base rank it heals the 2 lowest health sinners by 15 percent, but at max rank it heals them by 30% AND puts a protection buff on both. This is on top of deing a respectable amount of single target damage and bursting Tremor. With how rare healing in general is, this makes Meursault and Pursuance VERY in demand for difficult fights.
* MotorMouth: On the rare occasions he’s roused into long speech, he speaks incredibly fast and anxiously.
** His very own reveal trailer has him break out of the first of impression of his TerseTalker tendencies while recalling his past with mild, but notable, distress.
--> ''Shrill cries that tore at the eardrums and mercilessly beat upon my ears. From the second column on the left to the fifteenth column on the right, eyes shined at me. Eighty-nine index fingers and eighty-six throats pouring grief, fear, hate, revilement on me. Questions shaped from various emotions smothered my brain slowly.''
** Likewise, he ends up shocking Gregors team when he becomes so uncharacteristically animated and vocal after having a taste of their horrid meal, laying into almost everyone for their incompetence in rapid speech.
* MutualDisadvantage: Chains of Others, his default Zayin-class EGO, invokes this: On hitting his target with it, both Meursault himself and the enemy get debuffs of losing attack power and speed.
* NotSoAboveItAll: When Sinclair dances to get the Mariachis off the Sinners backs, Mersault can be seen in the background [[HiddenDepths playing a pan flute]] for the performance, though he does maintain an [[TheComicallySerious absolutely stoic expression]] while doing so.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** Him speaking up during Nagel und Hammer's raid on K Corp. is treated like this by Dante, who notes that he rarely ''starts'' any conversations himself, instead preferring to wait for orders in silence. That he went out of his way to start a conversation about both N Corp. and his mysterious history with them implies that the Wing bothers him badly enough for him to feel like he should share what he knows.
** PlayedForLaughs the second time this happens in Hell's Chicken. When Heathcliff shoved the food that Gregor's team made to his face, he is apparently so disgusted by the taste that he proceeds to tear down the team in ''[[MotorMouth lengthy]]'' manner. Heathcliff is understandably freaked out when he is finally finished, wondering whether Meursault had just been possessed.
* PerpetualFrowner: He has exactly one expression and it's a cold and focused stare, no matter if it's a mission, discussion or a maraca party. He's at least considering other people's opinion that he should smile more, according to his greetings.
* PetTheDog: While he gives criticisms to the rest of Gregor's team while attempting to cook, he has nothing bad to say towards Heathcliff directly on both occasions, in fact the only one he actually voices his approval and rewarding for actually being proficient at something helpful unlike the entire rest of the Sinners, even if it's something as menial as cutting vegetables.
-->'''Meursault:''' This gets a pass. You are rewarded extra points for the expertise displayed in your aslant strokes.
* PowerFist: Wears at least one, if not two armored gauntlets as his personal weapon(s).
* RhymesOnADime: Starts doing this while giving his [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech criticisms]] in regards to Gregor's team's [[LethalChef cooking abilities.]]
* SpockSpeak: Though usually keeping his words [[TerseTalker blunt, few and short]], he generally sounds like this, particularly when he actually starts being more elaborate. This combined with his impartial views make for practical application as Meursault proves to be a major help during the Hell's Chicken as a food critic, especially compared to [[DrillSergeantNasty Outis.]]
* TheStoic: He's not one for emotions, to the point where his bio on the official website is a mere sentence long, as opposed to the others' paragraph-long descriptions of their various personality quirks and backstories.
-->''Wants clear and concise commands, requiring no judgment on his part.''
* StoneWall: He's easily the slowest of the Sinners in their base identities, having a speed die of 1-2 and later 2-3, and his personal E.G.O. inflicts himself with Bind and Attack Power Down. In exchange, he's the beefiest of all the Sinners, having the highest base health and defense stats.
* YouDidntAsk: Meursault was the only one to notice that Sinclair was beginning to visibly panic and hyperventilate upon hearing that the crew is visiting K Corp., but everyone else only finds out when he gets into a hysteric screaming fit at his breaking point. Meursault says out that he’s been panicking for a quite a while, but didn’t feel like pointing it out because Dante didn’t order him to.
!! Identities
!!! Liu South Section 6
----
* PlayingWithFire: As with the rest of the Liu, this is his specialty. All three of his skills inflict Burn, and if the target already has enough Burn stacks, [[GatheringSteam they inflict even]] ''[[GatheringSteam more.]]''
!!! N Corp. Großhammer
An AlternateSelf of both Meursault and Guido the Persistent, where the former took the latter's place as Nagel und Hammer's enforcer.
-----
* ForcedAddiction: His Uptie story involves him noticing that his hands are shaking and his faith in Nagel und Hammer is beginning to waver before he activates his K Corp. mask to imbibe a large amount of the healing drug, heavily implying that Meursault has become actively addicted to the drugs that Nagel und Hammer spikes their rations with to enforce loyalty.
* MovesetClone: Of N Corp.'s second-in-command Guido, whom he replaces in his Mirror World, with the only visual differences being that Meursault's sprite is smaller and has a cracked mask.
* StoneWall: While already one in his base Identity, his N Corp Großhammer Identity doubles down on this trait, giving him even higher defense and health than his base identity, with very high stagger resistance while also upgrading his speed. On top of that, one of his skills gives him the unique ability to augment his stagger resistance by damaging enemies, making him significantly more difficult to stagger compared to the thresholds squishier characters have.
!!! W Corp. L2 Cleanup Agent
!!! Rosespanner Workshop Fixer
A version of Meursault who works as a Fixer for the Rosespanner Workshop.

* ExhaustedEyeBags: His eyes are sunken and his cheeks hollow due to how much clerical work he deals with.

----
* BigScrewedUpFamily: He mentions in one of his chatter lines that he believed the meaning of family to be a cohort of kin looking to stab each other in the back at every turn.
* BoundAndGagged: In his Roseate Desire illustration, he is hanging limply from the ribbons tied around his limbs and his mouth is covered with more ribbons. However, he is still able to talk and attack with them on.
* CainAndAbel: Seems to have this dynamic with his brother Jia Huan, a member of a group who state their intentions to ''kill'' the Sinners.
* CondescendingCompassion: On account of his own personal experience only living life through a rich upbringing, he genuinely means well but half the time he ends up coming off like this.
* ElementalMotifs: Water. His base EGO has him summoning a torrential downpour on a group of enemies in his PV. A lake is also noticeable in the background of the artwork for said EGO.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: He has a case of heterochromia, with one black iris and one jade iris. [[spoiler: There are some hints that the jade one may not be a natural eye (such as the iris not being turned pink when Hong Lu is using the Roseate Desire E.G.O.), with Liu Association Faust even pondering if it may be a prosthetic since it sometimes sparkles of its own volition (something Hong Lu himself makes note of in that Identity). However, Hong Lu himself is mum on the subject when brought up.]]
* TheGadfly: He will, on occasion, play up his status as a ShelteredAristocrat to mess with people, such as pretending to believe that potatoes grow on trees.
* GoodIsDumb: He’s a pretty affable and sociable guy who’s nothing but sincere to others, aside from his oblivious habit to flaunt his rich upbringing. He’s also incredibly sheltered and naive of the uglier details about the City, and combined with him acting about a decade younger than he actually is, he can come across as pretty airheaded.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Per the Sinner's Owner Manual on the official website, he often asks questions that can come off as rude or condescending; however, he means no ill will and is genuinely curious as to the subject matter he is inquiring about.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He's the feminine-looking member of the male cast. This is in reference to Jia Baoyu (The character whom he is based off of), who was often depicted as a beautiful and effeminate young man.
* LyingToProtectYourFeelings: [[spoiler: He makes the decision to lie to Saude about Effie surviving rather than telling her that they had to MercyKill him.]]
* MrFanservice: Both his Kurokumo Wakashu and Tingtang Gangleader identities show him to have a rather defined and chiseled build (with his Kurokumo identity even having a partially unbuttoned shirt to expose his pecs), his K Corp. Identity putting him in a skin-tight bodysuit, and his Roseate Desire E.G.O foregoes any subtlety in favor of putting him in [[SupernormalBindings tight ribbon bondage]].
* ObfuscatingStupidity: While he’s indeed quite sheltered, Hong Lu has learned to deliberately exaggerate this aspect of himself for the sake of pushing Heathcliff’s buttons.
** When Meursault starts verbally shredding the other Sinners on his team for their poor cooking skills, Hong Lu pops in and cheerfully suggests that Meursault take the cooking lead for their team. Dante notes how it seems rather deliberate that Hong Lu would do this specifically before Meursault could get around to making a dig at him.
* OddNameOut: Unique among the Sinners to have a name not directly lifted from the protagonist of his source material (or an alias, in Outis' case), but the ''title'': the Chinese name of Dream of the Red Chamber is "Honglou Meng" - StealthPun comes in here as 'Hong Lu' is spelt as 鸿路 [[note]] 鴻路 in traditional [[/note]], whereas the book title is spelt as 红楼梦 [[note]]紅樓夢 in traditional [[/note]] - 路 being read as 'lu' and 楼 being read as 'lou'. He ''seems'' to be named after the jade that the actual protagonist, Jia Baoyu, was incarnated in the world with, which shares the pronunciation of Hong Lu's name.
* RestorationOfSanity: His base Identity's fighting style, mixed with SanitySlippage, as his abilities focus on recovering Sanity Points for himself and his allies and inflicting Sinking onto enemies.
* RichesToRags: For one reason or another, he’s left his incredibly luxurious life full of servants, wealth and adoring public in order to work the comparatively less glamorous and ugly career of a Fixer throughout the urban hellholes of the City.
* ShelteredAristocrat: Seemingly lived a life of extreme luxury before winding up at the company with the other Sinners. It is to the point that "Sheltered" was listed as a notable trait of his on the official website, and in his promotional video, it gets played up to such a degree that he comes off as somewhat of a [[ManChild manchild]].
!! Identities
!!! Kurokumo Wakashu
----
* CoatCape: Similar to the standard Ryōshū, Hong Lu also wears his coat over his shoulders with this Identity.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: As a member of the Kurokumo Clan, he wields a katana in this identity.
* MilitaryMaverick: Despite the Kurokumo Clan being a subsidiary of the Thumb which demands complete obedience down the chain of command (with punishment of the most minor infractions ranging anywhere from body mutilation to death), this version of Hong Lu seemingly does not take orders and does whatever he likes. Despite this blatant insubordination, aside from calling him out on his disobedience his direct superiors begrudgingly still tolerate his actions. Because despite his own lack of respect for authority, he can still command the people under ''his'' leadership quite effectively.
* TattooedCrook: As with any member of the Kurokumo Clan, his shirt is unbuttoned to the sternum and open around the shoulders to show off the Syndicate's signature power augmenting tattoos.
!!! Tingtang Gangleader
A version of Hong Lu who rose up through the ranks of the Tingtang Gang, a Syndicate that the Sinners encountered in J Corp., and who they promptly decapitate of their leadership in the beginning of Canto II.
----
* AffablyEvil: This Hong Lu lost his sheltered and naïve attitude and became the proud leader of a Syndicate, and he’ll casually threaten to kill Dante over petty things while bragging about his own lethality in a near-constant pleasant but dangerous tone of voice.
* CompositeCharacter: Some of his attacks are named 'Shank' and 'Throat Slit', just like the ones of the Tingtang Gangleader identity. However, Hong Lu's versions of them are far more powerful.
* DeviousDaggers: The Identity's weapon of choice is a dagger, and he is an AffablyEvil gang leader who will kill over mild annoyances.
* DisappointedByTheMotive: He asks some intruders why they're on his turf, so they tell him they're there to look at the pagoda car wheels in case one is the Wheel of Fortune. He is so disappointed by their reason that he decides to kill them.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Go idle on him for too long, and he'll unsubtly threaten your life. If his Identity Story is any indication, murder is his go-to answer for things that annoy him.
* DoubleTap: A melee version. This is his Tingtang Gangleader Identity's whole schtick, as he will repeat skills if they roll heads and the enemy is not dead after the first use.
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Limbus Company weren’t exactly thrilled to have to pilfer the gang for their clothing, partly due to them being dirty to begin with, but also because they’re not big on Hawaiian shirts. This leads to some irony in that some version of Hong Lu wears the brightest and arguably tackiest shirt of the gang as its leader.
* TattooedCrook: This Hong Lu has intricate black full armsleeve tattoos that go up under his shirt sleeves and extend up his neck.
!!! Liu South Section 5
A version of Hong Lu who joined the Liu Association.
----
* BishieSparkle: His art shows sparkles coming from his jade eye. He lampshades this in his uptie cutscene, showing that it is not just a stylistic choice.
* StepfordSmiler: It's mentioned that Hong Lu's voice seems to tremble when he's speaking about his jade eye and that he can't do anything about what he was born with, hinting at his.

* AmbiguousCriminalHistory: During the Hell's Chicken event, a one-off line from Heathcliff reveals that he was once a member of a Syndicate. Though he never specifies what sort of Syndicate he used to belong to or what work he did with them, the fact that most Syndicates are considered criminal groups indicates that he likely did some dirty work with them in the past.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: His skin is darker than the other sinners, barring Outis having a darker complexion. Interestingly, it should be noted that Heathcliff in the original ''Wuthering Heights'' text was described with terms referring to Romani and/or Arab people.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: [[spoiler:During Canto III, he declares that while he may like calling Dante "clockface", he doesn't actually look down on them for it, and is furious that Nagel und Hammer is trying to kill them over having a prosthetic head.]]
* BarbaricBully: On top of being an all-around jerk in general, apparently he has a little extra contempt for Sinclair, the youngest and smallest Sinner, almost certainly because of his rich background. His first meeting with him has him shatter his head with his bat and leave him clinging to life on the floor just for trying to break up a fight between him and Ishmael, and Ishmael later implies that he still hurts him on occasion while trying to rouse Sinclair into putting on an emotional maraca dance, saying to remember all the times Heathcliff trampled over him among other bad memories.
* BatterUp: Wields a scuffed metal baseball bat as a weapon.
* BookDumb: He’s got zero formal education, so the first thing he does when the crew is told their next mission is in K Corp's Nest is complain that he was never told that there were mandatory education requirements for the job. He’s fairly clever when it comes to fighting and reading people, at least.
* CoveredWithScars: Has scars on his face, neck, and both of his forearms.
* DumbMuscle: He's noted to be simple-minded by his description, preferring action and violence over logical thought, poses a handful to manage and even a physical threat to those near should his anger overwhelm him. While not quite an idiot, it's clear that his emotional outbursts get the better of him far too often.
* GreenEyedMonster: All but directly stated to be one. He HatesRichPeople, especially [[ShelteredAristocrat Hong Lu]], and makes it clear he really doesn't like when people have power over him, and alludes to him working before as a member of a lower Syndicate. His third skill in his base identity and his base E.G.O Body Sack both being Envy - the only one to be so infact - are very telling.
** His particular vendetta for Sinclair seems to come from the younger Sinner being raised to a loving and wealthy family and attending an established university, with his status as a NaiveNewcomer only serving to piss Heathcliff off further in the same way Hong Lu's cluelessness does. This eases up after Chapter 3, where [[EveryoneHasStandards even Sinners like him and Ryusho]] feel bad for him.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: His EGO, "Bodysack", involves him thrashing his enemy with a heavy burlap sack wrapped in barbed wire. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The name does not leave much to the imagination.]]
* HateAtFirstSight: He and Ishmael get into a violent argument and trade insults in what was probably a mere minute after meeting each other, to the point where Heathcliff comes close to smashing her head in at least twice before being stopped; the animosity is still there even later into the game, despite it dying down to casual teases and insults. Ironically, their Shi Association and R Corp. Identities get along a fair bit better as co-workers/squadmates, where Ishmael has good things to say about his fighting skills. This weird relationship seems to be recognized as they have a trend of their promotional images being posted back to back, including their fullbody pictures, their promotional videos [[note]] Which clashes with the [[https://dsknsk.tumblr.com/post/690291031714988032/i-think-i-have-found-out-the-order-now-this order]] that was being followed [[/note]], them being implied to sit next to eachother in the bus, and their numbers directly following eachother.
** He almost instantly doesn't like Hong Lu the moment he hears him speak, given his rich upbringing and infuriatingly naive and InnocentlyInsensitive personality.
* HatesRichPeople: Holds this opinion (which shouldn't come off as a surprise given his inspiration). As he puts it in his promotional trailer:
--> '''Heathcliff:''' Point is, you can't trust the folks who're rolling in it. I hadn't a coin to my name at birth. Yet those damned pigs sniffed out and nicked what they could.
* HiddenDepths: Despite being DumbMuscle, he knows his violence well - he's able to deduce the exact circumstances that led to bloody conflict with only a glance at the bodies and a single comment from the battle's SoleSurvivor.
** While he's not shown to be a good cook entirely on his own, he has shown some talent (and pride) in being able to help with the preparation of food. During the Hell's Chicken event, he's the only one to receive praise from Meursault for his peeling and preparation of potatoes for their dish.
* HumanSacrifice: According to an entry for Doomsday Calendar, it was Heathcliff who was forced to become the Abnormality's blood sacrifice to calm it down, a fact he’s none too happy about.
* {{Jerkass}}: Violent, disrespectful, and generally doesn't get along with most of the other Sinners.
* LondonGangster: Along with his rough demeanor and [[StockBritishPhrases obviously English way of speaking]], Hell's Chicken has him mention that he used to be in a Syndicate.
* LowerClassLout: Hailing from rock-bottom of the Backstreets, Heathcliff is crass, rude, excessively cruel to his teammates, the most vocal member of the team when it comes to jumping straight to violence and telling Dante how little they owe them. He actually does start to get better starting from Canto 3, though, where his worst personality traits are lightening up as the team is clearly a fair bit closer than when they started.
* MrFanservice: For as little fanservice as this game has, much of it goes to Heathcliff. His cleavage-bearing Telepole outfit, as well as his Rabbit Corp bodysuit, make good use of his built body type.
* OddFriendship: Oddly enough, he seems to be forming something with Don Quixote of all people. In Hell's Chicken, Don Quixote seems to be the only one immediately concerned rather than amused when the fanged-chicken is on his head, and [[spoiler:in Canto IV, even on the brink of death himself, asks for Dante to heal her first and then himself.]] It's oddly sweet, as much as [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Heathcliff]] gets, anyway.
* PetTheDog: Despite his generally caustic nature and tendency to not listen to authority, [[spoiler:in Canto III, Heathcliff is adamant in his stance that even though he and most of the others don't give Dante much respect, all of them consider Dante a proper person and would never dream of giving them up to the likes of Nagel und Hammer. It's also implied earlier in the same Canto that had Don Quixote not stepped in at K Corp's checkpoint upon seeing a child separated from their family, Heathcliff would have done it. He also becomes ''very'' heated about getting a straight answer out of Meursault's loyalties when he figures out the latter worked for N Corp, seemingly disgusted at the idea that Meursault would be willing to carry out N Corp's genocidal agenda if ordered to.]]
** This continues through chapter 4. When there's an explosive about to go off, he kicks Gregor away from it, and when several of them do get hurt, including Heathcliff himself, he first points out that ''Don'' needs help before talking about his own pain. Keep in mind that, technically, the Sinners can be brought back to life at any time.
* SophisticatedAsHell: He tends to speak in a mixture of English phrases, bloody threats, and blunt swears.
* StockBritishPhrases: He tends to use English phrases regularly, so much so that it’s instantly obvious that it’s him writing whenever you open an Abnormality Report when it’s otherwise meant to be ambiguous.
* TelephonePolearm: His Telepole E.G.O. is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, with Heathcliff using an uprooted electrical mast in place of his bat to bludgeon enemies with.
* TranquilFury: It’s actually out of character that he’s only muttering in abject anger when the shopkeeper in Canto II insults the quality of his rusty ring, given Heathcliff rarely shies away from a violent outburst. With the implication being that the ring is a keepsake from Cathy, it’s a surprise that he held himself back from brutalizing the man.
* UngratefulBastard: Of all the Sinners, Heathcliff is the most overt in thinking he doesn't owe Dante any respect even though he'd be dead several times over without them, since it's their job to revive him.
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: All three of his stock skills simply involve Heathcliff slugging the crap out of enemies with his bat in different ways instead of resorting to gimmicks or superhuman abilities like his teammates, and even his basic E.G.O. is still just him [[GrievousHarmWithABody using a bodybag to do so in its place.]]
!! Identities
!!! R Corp. 4th Pack Rabbit
* AxCrazy: This Identity, as shown in his story, is ''obsessed'' with killing; it's unclear whether the reason is his own bloodlust, side effects of his Rabbit augmentations, the Rabbits' ShootEverythingThatMoves policy, or all of it.
* BottomlessMagazines: Averted ''big time''. Like all Ammo-based Identities, he only gets 13 Ammo per battle, which don't refill between waves. Given the high amounts of coins across all of his skills, you'll be lucky to make it two waves without him running out. Mercifully, though, he can still clash even if he's out of ammo, and it doesn't affect his ability to perform the attacks that don't involve him shooting anything.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: The Rabbit Team is all about speed, quickly taking out the enemy and then leaving as soon as they came. Similarly, this Identity is the best at short battles like in Mirror Dungeons due to his limited amount of ammo, and needs to be on or above 6 Speed to use his third skill effectively.
* MoreDakka: On account of his skills having ''three coins at minimum'', this version of Heathcliff can and ''will'' use his rifle to dump lead into enemies, though he's also quick to whip out a combat knife.
* SuperMode: Getting the required amount of Charge and activating his Passive will give him Haste and Attack Power Up, which also puts on his Rabbit helmet for the remainder of the fight (which also puts a filter over his voicelines).
* ThrowingYourGunAtTheEnemy: In his uptie cutscene, Heathcliff is mentioned throwing his firearm at his foes the moment all his ammo is spent. It's apparently so hot after use that it sets them on ''fire''.
!!! Shi South Section 5
* BadMoonRising: He mentions observing a red moon for the first time while doing his work. He doesn't see it as much any sort of bad omen, though; in fact, he claims he fell in love with the sight when he first saw it.
* HighlyVisibleNinja: Ironically for an assassin, he hates stealth. His argument is that if everybody who saw him is dead, he's still successfully pulled off a stealth mission.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Uses one as with other Shi Association members, though despite the connotations that come with wielding such a weapon, he's still as brutish as usual.
* LeaveNoWitnesses: Due to his lack of skill in stealth, this is Shi Heathcliff's philosophy: so long as no one is alive to talk after a job, there's technically no witnesses.
!!! N Corp. Kleinhammer
* {{Brainwashed}}: A victim of this, as his story reveals that new recruits to Nagel und Hammer's cult are given drugged rations, making it easier to indoctrinate them to their fanaticism. Heathcliff finds the rituals headache-inducing and weird, but their tactics are starting to take their hold on him.
--> '''Leading Inquisitor:''' Now the chant: "Heretics-"
--> '''Heathcliff:''' "-shall be purged." Huh? What did... I just say?
* DespairEventHorizon: Crossed it by the present, having fled his home after something "Cathy" said to him and finding himself in Nagel und Hammer's ranks, and is now deeply sullen and miserable.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: N Corp. Heathcliff's passive causes him to [[HeroicBSOD take a deep SP hit]] should an ally be staggered or killed around him, but also a huge Blunt damage buff (starting on the next turn) to demolish his enemies and avenge his fallen comrades.
!!! Lobotomy E.G.O::Sunshower
* DecompositeCharacter: Copies the first of Dongbaek's two boss fights, with the second getting represented by Yi Sang's Spicebush E.G.O.
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Aside from being the second identity with coin tosses that favor hitting Tails, his playstyle revolves around lowering his sanity by applying Sinking to himself and either using his counter (which is the first one to have more than one coin) to force hits on himself while still dealing damage or letting his sanity tick down manually through his passive.

----
* AnchorsAway: Ishmael's Pink Shoes EGO attack shows her lobbing a full sized metal anchor tied to a pink ribbon at her target.
* BerserkButton: Do not waste time, especially her own. She's much more [[TranquilFury reserved]] about it than most, but it's a consistent thing with her and her Identities she does not take kindly to her or her colleagues not doing their jobs.
* BusmansVocabulary: She peppers some of her sentences with sailing terms.
* ConsummateProfessional: Ishmael makes it clear she expects efficiency and rational decision-making from Dante, taking her and others' jobs seriously and getting annoyed when time is being wasted or her expectations for her coworkers are let down. Likely it's for this reason she considers herself the OnlySaneMan of the group with how eccentric most everyone else aboard Mephistopheles is, on top of being very liable to throwing their plans for the day into jeopardy.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has a habit of interjecting with sarcastic comments in response to the rest of her co-workers' antics.
* DeathOrGloryAttack: Relatively speaking, her fighting style uses only single coin skills that has her wind up some pretty heavy mace attacks and shield bashes, meaning she can reach some pretty high numbers for a base identity but has just as good a chance to roll low for considerably less damage, and by extension makes her unwieldy in clashes.
* DisappointedInYou: After Dante helps botch the casino heist in Canto II with the screw-up with the slot machine, Ishmael's opinion of them nosedives, and by the beginning of Canto III she's become more assertive in order to make up for their perceived incompetence.
* ElementalMotifs: Water. Her base E.G.O art showcases her in a room flooding with water, and when she attacks the enemy with the E.G.O attack, an explosion of water can be seen in the animation when she hits the enemy. She's also noted to have returned from a long voyage at sea, and her base Identity art has a stormy backdrop.
* FieryRedhead: She sports a massive mane of orange-red hair, and while not as energetic or loud as other examples of this trope, she’s known for her foul and aloof attitude when her already rather limited patience is tested, especially for her own crew and Dante whom she’s regularly critical of.
* HateAtFirstSight: She and Heathcliff ''really'' didn't like each other initially, and they're both ready to kill the other a minute after meeting for the first time, her aloof personality and tendency to openly insult others nearly triggering Heathcliff's temper into shattering her head twice. By contrast, her Shi Association and 4th Pack Identities get along much better with his, with one of her Shi Identity window dialogues even being to compliment him on his abilities. This weird relationship seems to be recognized as they have a trend of their promotional images being posted back to back, including their fullbody pictures, their promotional videos [[note]] Which clashes with the [[https://dsknsk.tumblr.com/post/690291031714988032/i-think-i-have-found-out-the-order-now-this order]] that was being followed [[/note]], them sitting very close to each other on the bus, and their numbers directly following eachother.
* IWillFindYou: In her promotional video, she mentions that she's "Been flitting obsessively from office to office" in search of somebody, presumably Ahab (The mad captain of the ship in 'Moby Dick').
** Her base EGO attack also references her dogged determination in tracking someone down. As before she throws her harpoon she declares that someone has to still be alive.
* JustOneLittleMistake: Her experience with this trope is her reason for her admitted intolerance for mistakes.
--> '''Ishmael''': In my previous occupation, a tiny mistake could compromise all of our safety. My sensitive tendencies come from that experience.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Carries a large, manhole cover-shaped shield that's also [[ShieldBash used as a bludgeon]] in certain attacks.
* MotorMouth: Dante notes in the K Corp immigration line that when Ishmael gets anxious, she tends to become a chatterbox and speaks much more quickly than normal.
* NeverBareheaded: Ishmael is shown to wear a particular braided headband in her hair across all her known identities so far. Her default Identity and her R Corp Identity both have a version embellished with white bows, though her Shi Association Identity lacks them and only has the bare headband.
* NotSoAboveItAll: In the 2023 April Fool's event, a brief quote from Vergilius notes that Ishmael apparently attempted to fix Dante's malfunction by ''hitting their prosthetic'' with something until it worked again.
** Then during the Hell's Chicken event, when Faust agrees to go along with defeating the Distorted owner of Eunbong's, Ishmael is so shocked to think Faust may actually want to help for free chicken (until she learns the real reason) that she's prepared to bash Faust in the head with her weapon to bring her back to her senses. Then later, she scolds the other members of her team for just backseat cooking and not doing anything to actually help Sinclair, who was put in charge of their dish for that round. While not doing anything to actually help herself besides telling the others they should also be helping.
* OnlySaneWoman: Considers herself to be this among the Sinners. When she's in a good mood, she's willing to extend this role to Dante and/or Faust as well.
* PercussiveMaintenance: If the events released so far are anything, she has penchant for this.
** In the 2023 April Fool's event, Vergilius tells Ishmael off for trying to fix Dante's clock by hitting it.
** She plans on doing the same to ''Faust'' in the Hell's Chicken event when Faust agrees to do a mission for a random person in exchange for a lifetime pass for free chicken. She's relieved that she didn't need to do so when Faust clarifies that she agreed to it due to the mission being connected to the Distortion Phenomenon.
* PetTheDog: Canto III forces her more caring side to emerge as a result of all the horror the Sinners are exposed to. [[spoiler:She reassures Sinclair that Kromer and her lackeys are nothing but lunatics who don't deserve any form of acknowledgement whatsoever, and gets angry on Dante's behalf when the Inquisitors downplay Dante's humanity on account of their prosthetic head, being shocked that they're able to brush it off with a joke.]]
* ReadTheFreakingManual: To Ishmael's shock and disappointment, it becomes clear by Canto IV that she's the only one reading the orientation pamphlets provided by the Company on the districts they enter.
* ShieldBash: Performs one for her base EGO attack. Paired with [[YouWillNotEvadeMe You Will Not Evade Me]] with a harpoon.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: As one of Limbus Company's Sinners, and thus one of the main characters of the story, her green eyes and mane of long red hair make her stand out significantly even among the colorful cast of characters she's grouped together with.
* SoleSurvivor: She wonders if she was truly the sole survivor of her disastrous voyage across the sea in her promotional video. Said video then mentions that she's in search of other possible survivors.
* ToughLove: Her reasoning for why she can be so critical to Dante in specific, allegedly, with a dash of NothingPersonal.
--> '''Ishmael''': Just to be clear, the remarks I say to you are meant to assist you to ensure the success of our mission. I'm not just saying them with hard feelings towards you.
!! Identities
!!! [=LCCB=] Assistant Manager
A version of Ishmael who joined the LCCB instead of the twelve Sinners.
----
* CompositeCharacter: According to how her files are named, this Identity has her live Saude's life.
* DueToTheDead: One of her post-uptie chats laments that her old teammates aren't given a proper burial.
* IsThisThingStillOn: In her extra condition voice line Ishmael realizes she accidentally commented on how her performance could earn her a medal over the comms.
* {{Kneecapping}}: Will pull her handgun down in a combo to blast out the knees of human enemies, fitting of her enforcement combat style.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Unlike her base Identity, this version of Ishmael carries a ballistic shield instead.
* NeverMyFault: Losing a stage has her comment on the plan was flawless and the fault clearly lies elsewhere.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Rodion's red. She's very meticulous about planning, almost to the point of obsession. This puts her at odds with the more reckless Rodion.
* ShieldBash: The animation for most of her skills have Ishmael rushing the enemy with her shield before either knocking them down or shooting them with her pistol.
!!! R Corp. 4th Pack Reindeer
* ArtificialStupidity: Due to the nature of the Charge mechanic and the random targeting of her Mind Whip, an AI-controlled Ishmael will use said ability as soon as possible if left on auto battle without accumulating stacks first, often resulting in devastating friendly fire that can cost you the whole run. As a result, this is one of a handful of Identities that absolutely require direct attention from the player even if combat is automated.
* HornedHumanoid: This version of her comes with a huge pair of bioluminescent antlers. Due to her PowerIncontinence, they also crackle with destructive energy, and Ishmael herself even warns Dante to tell everyone to evacuate should her horns start vibrating for some reason.
* MindRape: In two degrees. R Corp's Reindeer agents are shown to be mentally unstable and whatever augments they receive are not good for their heads. This is no different for Ishmael, who suffers from such severe headaches that she dry swallows painkillers like candy. On the flipside, the Reindeer squad is notorious for psychological damage in the most literal sense, their weapons dealing heavy mental damage to their victims, which is translated to Ishmael being able to inflict the Sinking status effect with this identity.
* PowerfulButInaccurate: ''Woefully'' inaccurate, to be precise. Her Mind Whip is a five-hit combo that does obscene amounts of Blunt damage that can demolish most tough enemies in a single use, but unless the player actually had Ishmael collect 10 stacks of Charge with her other skills, its targeting will be absolutely ''random'', meaning that it can hit (and potentially stagger or even kill) friendlies instead.
* PowerIncontinence: Due to what is presumably the cause of her constant splitting headaches, Ishmael cannot fully control how her powers are exerted. During gameplay, this is represented by the chance to randomly target a friendly unit when using Mind Whip without accumulating 10 Charge first, as Ishmael herself seems to be ''blind firing'' it judging by her character sprites during this skill's animation (As a particular note, players should be mindful with the Win-rate/Damage auto battle selections, as it will NOT take into consideration if Ishmael has the 10 charge or not to use Mind Whip safely.)

!!! Shi South Section 5

!!! Lobotomy E.G.O::Sloshing
* ButtMonkey: In her identity story, she has the bad luck of being the only one stuck with E.G.O suit based on the Fairy Gentleman, resulting in her being constantly covered with slime and her saying something she normally wouldn't as a result of the Abnormality influence. Her compatriots Rodion and even ''Sinclair'' have a field day laughing at her, much to her chagrin.

----
* ADayInTheLimelight: Canto II gives her significant focus, as the mission is to raid a J Corp casino; something that, as a gambler, she's naturally interested and knowledgeable in. Later on she ends up meeting one of her old friends, and [[spoiler: the Golden Bough of the Canto is attuned to her.]]
* AffectionateNickname: To the other most sociable Sinner, Gregor, who she tends to refer to with cutesy names far more often than the others. Sweetie, babe, etc.
* AnIcePerson: A theme with her; What is Cast depicts Rodion in her cell, wielding a hatchet made of ice and the scenery of a snow-covered complex littered with corpses, she gets the Rime Shank E.G.O from the already ice-themed Baba Yaga Abnormality that serves as the ClimaxBoss of her chapter, and the Golden Bough in said chapter is residing within a frigid wasteland.
* BatmanGambit: After the disastrous caper in Canto II, she volunteers herself to gamble for the Golden Bough alone with a sticker containing some wishpower against the Syndicate leaders they’ve been fighting. Except, she never used it in the first place and bluffed her way to victory by seeming suspicious on purpose. The Tieqiu leader at the table instantly assumes that she was applying wishpower on herself right before going all-in, and makes the rash bet that if she’s cheating he’ll forfeit the game, which promptly gets him thrown out the game and wins the Sinners the match [[NoHonorAmongThieves (mostly because Aida decided she was going to skip the game and kill them all before she loses)]]. The only part of the bluff Rodion wasn’t counting on was said leader being [[DisproportionateRetribution graphically killed for his false accusation]] right in front of her, judging from her shocked reaction.
* BigEater:
** While never actually shown, Rodion herself likes to remind people of her huge appetite, usually by suggesting that Dante should reward her top-tier performance with dinner, lamenting about the lack of good food their journey has, or suggesting that team celebrate the day with an outing to a restaurant. She has a fondness for meat and steaks mostly, which more than likely harkens back to [[spoiler:her impoverished life back home and the first thing she did for her neighbors upon murdering their wicked tax collector, using her stolen fortune to feed the starving people with quality meat.]]
** This adds onto the ''wrongness'' of her N Corp Mittelhammer AlternateSelf, who is so religiously devoted to Nagel und Hammer and The One Who Grips that she shows her dedication by fasting.
** Around the start of the Hell's Chicken event, she's quick to point out the nearby fried chicken and start outlining how tasty it is. At one point, Gregor theorizes if the Headhens are a result of Sinclair struggling to eat one particular piece of chicken, to which the latter quickly states Rodion picked it clean anyhow. She and Heathcliff also reminisce about their own memories of going to [=HamHamPangPang=] and enjoying large meals of chicken.
* BigEgoHiddenDepths: Rodion is possibly the most boastful of all the Sinners (which is ''really'' saying something in their group), even going so far as to proclaim that believing that she's hot shit is enough to beat out concentrated luck power. However, she also carries a lot of guilt on her shoulders from her past, and it's hinted that some of her confidence is of the 'fake it til you make it' variety because of her other insecurities about wanting to be important or special.
* BigSisterInstinct: She openly looks out for Sinclair the most out of the rest, who is the shortest and likely the youngest member of the team. In Canto II, she’s the one who gives him the pep talk he needs to get him to dance the team out of trouble from Los Mariachis, covers his ears when Ryōshū begins to describe an ambiguous method of brutalization so graphically violent detail as to shock an entire casino floor plus her own crew[[note]]the details of which have been censored to the player[[/note]], and rather casually stops her Abnormality Report on Baba Yaga to [[TheyKilledKennyAgain avenge the kid when his head gets smashed open by an ice pick]]. Sinclair himself notes that Rodion likes to save snack foods to share with him for later. To a lesser extent, she’s also this to Don Quixote, as seen briefly in an early scene in Hell's Chicken when she wipes the leftovers of food on Don's face.
* BornLucky: She boasts that she's never lost a game of chance, and later states that [[spoiler: [[WindsOfDestinyChange wishpower]] doesn't affect her luck because it effectively boils down to being condescend confidence - something she already has in spades.]]
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: She is a great gambler who believes in her own abilities so much [[spoiler:that she doesn't need wishpower to win]].
* DamageOverTime: With the exception of LCCB Assistant Manager, Rodion seems to be specialized in inflicting Bleed upon her enemies through the use of her skills, which causes them to lose health with every move depending on the magnitude and stack count of the status effect.
* ElementalWeapon: Her E.G.O., "What is Cast", is an axe made of ice that she throws at enemies.
* TheGamblingAddict: Noted as a compulsive gambler in her profile. Rodion declares that more than just ''having'' money, what gives her an even bigger thrill is the rush of betting and possibly ''losing'' everything in one winner-take-all bet.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Very, very fond of expensive luxuries like food, parties and drinks whenever she can afford them. Above all else she loves gambling just to blow it all on vices.
* TheHedonist: While her first and foremost concern is always money, she's equally as enthusiastic for all the luxuries that come one's way with it.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Her Kurokumo identity uses a huge katana, large enough to qualify as an odachi.
* MoneyFetish: She introduces herself to the manager by bluntly putting it out that she ''loves'' money, not just making and having money, but also the thrill of gambling it away and acquiring more.
* MotiveDecay: [[spoiler: Sonya, Rodya's former friend, theorizes that her murder of the corrupt pawnbroker from her past was less about getting enough money to feed her neighbors and more about proving to herself that she was special somehow. Interestingly, Rodya goes against giving a definitive response to that and neither confirms nor denies his theory, and also points out that Sonya is intelligent enough to be well aware of what she was going to do before she acted; the implication being, if he knew what she was doing, then why did he let her go through with it despite condemning her in the present? He doesn't have a response.]]
* MyGreatestFailure: In her past, Rodion [[spoiler:murdered a corrupt tax collector who was hoarding money in order to secure food for her fellow Backstreets neighbors. This action would come back to haunt her though; the person she murdered had connections with the Middle Finger, which violently retaliated by mass murdering Rodion's fellow neighbors.]]
* ProfessionalGambler: Despite what her devil-may-care attitude might imply, Rodion is a very competent and confident gambler when put to the task. Especially when it comes to games where she might have to bluff out the other players in order to win. Even without the actual use of any luck stickers, she's easily able to wipe the table with the other gamblers.
* TheSocialExpert: Rodya is easily the most personable out of all the Sinners, something which Dante even notices upon meeting her. She lacks most of the eccentricities her coworkers do, has a sense of humour in spades, and despite her mercenary attitude towards money and living in general, is shown to care greatly about those more vulnerable than her, particularly Sinclair. All of this combines to make her the easiest to have a conversation with.
* SomeCallMeTim: She notes in her promo that her proper name is quite a bit longer but also projects a sense of coldness, in reference to her name origin being Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, so she asks Dante to simply call her Rodya.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's the tallest female Sinner and second-tallest overall, beaten only by Meursault, at around 180cm/5'11 feet tall, and she's quite the looker.
* StealthPun: The name of her E.G.O is part of a number of Russian proverbs, 'What is cast cannot be returned' i.e 'what's done cannot be undone'. In it, her axe shatters into pieces. To top it off, 'cast' also refers to gambling, and 'the die is cast' ''also'' means 'what's done cannot be undone'.
* SympatheticMurderBackstory: Canto II focuses on her past, which culminates in her telling everyone else [[spoiler:that her murdering an oppressive tax collector resulted in her neighborhood being massacred]]. While she doesn't regret her actions, she is upset about the consequences.
* TattooedCrook: She has a tattoo of an anatomical heart on the left side of her chest, and [[spoiler:she is a murderer]].
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: As the Sinner writing the Observation Notes on [[SnakesAreSinister the Wriggling Beasts/Slithering Inquisitors]], Rodion makes it clear she was already freaked out by them even before she started thinking on [[TheWormThatWalks their possible actual nature]].

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: As opposed to Heathcliff, whose Identity Story shows him to be reluctant at best in their work, this version of Rodion appears to be fully indoctrinated into Nagel Und Hammer's belief system. Gleefully repeating their rhetoric about "heretics" and throwing herself into things like fasting and prayer to achieve further "purity".

She regularly chuckles at the opportunity of smiting heretics, despises body prosthetics, speaks in a near-constant crazed tone and comes to close to considering the idea of nailing Dante for their clock head before being convinced it's just a helmet - a far cry from the normally personable and friendly Rodya.

----
* ADayInTheLimelight: Canto III focuses on him and his backstory, taking place in his hometown and with the Golden Bough being attuned to him.
* AnimalMotifs: Birds (more specifically baby birds, as indicated by his introductory emoji). His insignia is an egg, his weapon's name "Vogel" translates to "Bird", and his DayInTheLimelight Canto features him [[spoiler:growing past his trauma and insecurities as a result of his massacred family and hometown at Kromer's hands, with Demian also bringing up how he has figuratively broken out of his shell and taken flight in the aftermath of Canto III now that he's finally at peace with himself]].
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: His general mannerisms and smaller stature (being the shortest sinner) imply that he's far younger than his teammates, and as a result more responsible sinners seem to go out of their way to look out for him (like Gregor and Rodion) while others target him for bullying (such as Heathcliff and Ryōshū).
* BerserkButton: Anything to do with [[spoiler:Kromer]] sets him into an absolute rage. Notably, he's at first traumatized to see what ''Nagel und Hammer'' have done to his hometown, but the moment [[spoiler:Kromer]] makes herself known he immediately enters an UnstoppableRage and begins to absolutely ''brutalize'' any Inquisitor within reach. He spends the rest of the Canto split between a HeroicBSOD and said UnstoppableRage.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Sinclair's description on the website and promo trailer paint him as quite skittish. Beneath that, however, lies a more volatile person. He is noted to have a murderous gaze, his eyes darken before cleaving his foes with his E.G.O., and outright explodes in violent anger at the end of his trailer.
->'''Sinclair:''' ''Right, all I can do...'' '''''is skewer that ■■■■■■■ with a stake and -$#^$^%^%- straight in!'''''
* BirdsOfAFeather: His damning friendship with [[spoiler:Kromer]] was born out of their shared disdain for mechanical prosthetics, which their hometown of Kalf was renowned for.
* BreakTheCutie: He's already been broken before the story even starts, but it happens again in Canto III due to [[spoiler:being forced to return to his hometown on a mission, only to find it being razed to the ground and all the residents being slaughtered by the same people who killed his entire family the last time he was there.]]
* ButtMonkey: Sinclair gets put through a ''lot'' of pain, trauma and humiliation, both played dramatically and humorously, more so than anyone else on the team. Even not counting his horrific backstory as explored in Canto III, being one of the youngest and smallest Sinners means almost everyone picks on him in particular or outright attacks him. To wit, he's apparently regularly beaten up by Heathcliff, gets pummeled by Don Quixote, Outis and was nearly killed by Vergilius in the same Chapter just as methods to shut him up, and he's put in the unenviable position of being the only chef on his team while everyone else backseat-cooks over him.
* DoomedHometown: [[spoiler:Sinclair returns to Kalf to find it effectively put to the torch, with the townsfolk either slaughtered en masse or currently being tortured by N Corp's Nagel und Hammer.]]
* DualityMotif: A variation. His official promotional art has one half of him in greyscale, and the other in color.
* FinishingMove: This is the encouraged way to use his "Impending Day" E.G.O., since its power is increased against target with less than 25% HP. In addition, if Sinclair manages to score a kill with the E.G.O., it heals allies and increases his attack power on the next turn.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When [[ItMakesSenseInContext forced to dance the Sinners out of trouble in Canto II]], Los Mariachis are touched to their core by the sheer spirit emanating from his dance and they deduce that the young man had gone through so much darkness and terror that it shows through his movement. Dante has to wonder to themself what Sinclair could’ve possibly went through to touch Los Mariachis so deeply, but has to move on without answers until [[WhamEpisode Canto III]], where Sinclair's past is the focus.
* FriendlyFireproof: His Lifetime Stew E.G.O. plays around with this trope. On the one hand, it's targeting is always indiscriminate regardless of whether Sinclair is corroded or not, with the only stipulation being that the targets are the ones with the lowest remaining health, and deal 7 stacks of Burn to them. On the other, it has a specific safety net built into this attack which deals no direct damage if the target is friendly, and will actually buff them it it does end up hitting an ally for some reason. Of course, if Sinclair ''is'' corroded then the trope is still averted.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: His Canto features hard-hitting enemies with a weakness to Blunt. His Zwei Association Identity's kit consists of nothing but Blunt and protective buffs. Later on, [[spoiler: if you have collected all three samples of 'A Gift', he also gets a buff in the final fight]], but bringing Sinclair into a stage where [[spoiler:Kromer's Whistle]] is in effect will also cause him to take a gigantic 30 point hit to his SP every time it occurs.
* GrewASpine: Hell's Chicken, which takes place after [[ADayInTheLimelight Canto III]], has him exhibit this. While he's still rather timid and somewhat easily pushed around by his colleagues, he's far more capable of sticking up for himself, telling Gregor his teasing won't work on him and then snapping at his team in frustration due to their constant backseating.
* HeightAngst: He snaps at Faust for making a jab at the odds of him getting taller and tries to tell himself he can still get taller when Outis criticizes his diet as a factor for his shorter stature.
* HiddenDepths: Aside from Faust and maybe Rodion, he’s the ''only'' member of the team who knows how to properly dance, specifically with maracas. It's a useful thing too, as the Mariachis of Canto II confronting the team allow the team to pass for his performance.
* ItsAllMyFault: He has a severe guilt complex over [[spoiler:Kromer's rise to power and her slaughtering his family and hometown, blaming and loathing himself in equal measure over his one error of telling his classmates about his father's business with K Corp. Surprisingly for this trope, Dante actually ''agrees'' with him after Kromer is killed, saying that he may have been at fault. As they point out, however, it was one mistake Sinclair made when he was a child that anyone could have made, and he couldn't possibly have known what it would snowball into.]]
* IWantMyMommy: Outis mentions in Canto IV that Sinclair would often cry out for his parents when he died.
* LastNameBasis: Despite him being confirmed to have a first name, "Emil", almost everyone in his life besides his family members refers to him by his last name. This includes all the Sinners in the present, and [[spoiler:Demian and Kromer]] during his school days.
* LovableCoward: During the middle of Canto III, Heathcliff implies that Sinclair is usually seen in the back of a fight formation, being too nervous to charge into the fray, though despite this Dante, Rodion and anyone else he gets along with don’t hold it against him. It’s shocking to Heathcliff when Sinclair is riled up into an throwing a bloody and brutal massacre against loads of Inquisitors by himself, making him wonder out loud where all this usefulness was earlier. This is not so much the case after Canto III, where Sinclair grew a bigger spine to stand up for himself with against his fellow Sinners, if while still being a little meek.
* MementoMacguffin: [[spoiler:His deal with Kromer to help him avoid his prosthetic surgery involved her giving him two coins for safekeeping, which he didn't realize represent chances he has to be spared for not joining her. Kromer takes one back after his family is slain, and she takes back the other one in their final confrontation in Canto III, having committed to ending his life before going OneWingedAngel.]]
* MoodSwinger: He’s noted for his emotional instability, likely owing to a combination of his young age, exposure to Fixer violence and ''very'' rough past. His facial expressions are among the most extreme in the mostly stoic Limbus crew, going from meek shyness, [[FaceFramedInShadow an ominous and malevolent stare behind eye shadow]], and tearful and close-to-blubbering sorrow.
* NaiveNewcomer: His official profile notes that Sinclair isn't used to combat or the violence that comes with it yet, and by his own admission, being a Sinner is his first time working with a Company.
* NervousTics: Sinclair had a habit of biting his nails whenever he was uneasy or nervous when he was younger. He did attempt to curb this habit by cutting his nails so there was nothing to bite, but ended up miscalculating on that front. As once he no longer had nails to bite, he just ended up biting into his own fingertips without thinking.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:His careless comments about his father's business in class results in him meeting Kromer, who he bonds with over their shared distaste over mechanical prosthetics. Despite having misgivings, Sinclair would eventually strike a deal with her, who promised to get him out of an impending prosthetic surgery if he'd let her enter his basement. After the two find monstrosities in a secret passageway beneath his home, Kromer holds up her end of the deal and "repays" him by slaughtering his whole family with a group of inquisitors, leaving him as the SoleSurvivor. And by the time he eventually returns to Kalf with the other Sinners, she's either killed everyone there or is still torturing them.]]
* TheOneGuy: Contrasting [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Don Quixote]], he wound up as this in Ryōshū's team during the Hell's Chicken event, purely because the latter threatened him into joining.
* RichesToRags: He comes from a wealthy family that was well regarded in his hometown for their expertise on prosthetics, but is now a lowly Fixer in Limbus Company's employ.
* SoleSurvivor: Twice, no less. First of [[spoiler:Kromer's massacre of his family]], and then on a much larger scale [[spoiler:after Kromer returns to Kalf and has her troops slaughter the whole village, before she herself is killed by Demian, leaving him the only survivor of the town as a whole.]] Can be subverted in the latter case, since in the Canto III dungeon [[spoiler:at least one random event involves optionally saving surviving townspeople, who face certain torture and death if not rescued.]]
* SpinAttack: Sinclair's Lifetime Stew E.G.O. attack animation includes him spinning around uncontrollably to the point he makes himself dizzy, all the while splashing foes with scalding hot broth.
* SupportPartyMember: His Impending Day E.G.O turns him into a resource generator, creating 5 Sin resources when he kills something. If he can clean up on some weaker fodder, he's capable of generating immense amounts of Sin to power the E.G.O of other -- more offensively-focused -- Sinners.
* TinySchoolboy: While Sinclair's age is ambiguous, he was close to finishing high school before meeting Kromer; ingame images and character portraits show most characters (girls included) towering over him, and he's the second shortest Sinner in the team in the present day.
* TranslatorBuddy: He's the only Sinner able to quickly grasp and understand Ryōshū's highly specific and violent acronyms, which is implied to be the result of his horrific past. Dante themself is somewhat disturbed by this and wonders what happened to him to be able to understand her.
* UnwillingRoboticization: One of Sinclair's greatest sources of unease and terror when his family was still alive was the expectation that, once he graduated school, he would undergo a "full body robotic prosthetic" procedure like the rest of them -- this would involve removing his brain from his body and transplanting it into a robotic shell instead. He was too afraid of disappointing his family, or fighting back against their expectations, to ever speak up against it. [[spoiler:It never ended up happening, thanks to Kromer having his whole family slaughtered before the procedure could ever take place.]]
* WhenHeSmiles: He is shown to be smiling rather happily while interacting with other Sinners during the credits of Canto III, presumably due to [[spoiler:having made peace with the events of his past]]. Given his usual nervousness, it's notable.
* YouRemindMeOfX: He mentions that Dante reminds him a lot of Demian, with Dante appearing to speak similarly to him when they're trying to act like a manager.
!! Identities
!!! Blade Lineage Salsu
A version of Sinclair who joined Blade Lineage Syndicate as a Salsu. He struggles with his love for bloodshed, something that is praised and otherwise seen as normal within the Syndicate.
----
* CriticalHitClass: His first two skills in this identity are meant to stack Poise buff to increase his CriticalHit chance, which ideally will be used with his hard-hitting third skill.
* SplitPersonality: His murderous intent comes out prominently as another side of him, and he himself is not sure which is the "real" him. Consequently, Sinclair is conflicted between the joy of bloodshed and the unease it makes him feel.
!!! Los Mariachis Jefe
A version of Sinclair who joined the Mariachi Syndicate, and rose up their ranks to become their Jefe. While he still behaves very nervous and uneasy like he usually does, he's quick to show how and why he became the organization's boss when he pushed to it.
----
* AlternateSelf: He takes Aida's place as the Syndicates leader, wearing the same outfit, sombrero and glowing face paint as her.
* DanceBattler: Like the rest of the Mariachi Syndicate, many of his moves involve his sprites showing off some very nimble dance moves while he bashes his foes left and right with a set of maracas.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Like the rest of the Mariachi Syndicate seen in the game, his primary weapons are a set of maracas.
* PowerGlows: After uptying this identity to the third tier, the new art reveals him to have facepaint or a facial tattoo that glows an eerie blue in the dark, with the ensuing cutscene indicating it's what happens when he begins a Pañata Party.
* StoneWall: In this identity, Sinclair has lower attack power even compared to his base identity, in addition to having one of the lowest speed stat at 2-3. That said, he gains huge amount of HP pool and defense in exchange, and he only has one stagger threshold that can be lowered even further to ensure his survivability.
* TriggerPhrase: According to his subordinates, one way to instantly get him in a mindset to battle is to tell him that it's time for a Pañata Party. Which has the immediate effect of causing him to bash the person who said the phrase in the head before going on a rampage.
* YoungAndInCharge: Despite appearing to be the same age as his base identity counterpart, he's apparently been able to rise up the ranks of the Mariachi Syndicate until he's their boss. And one they all respect and fear as such.
!!! Zwei South Section 6
A version of Sinclair who joined the Zwei Association.
----
* LawmanBaton: A [[LawEnforcementInc Zwei Fixer]] who swings around a baton rather than the typical Zweihänders.

!!! The One Who Shall Grip
A version of Sinclair who was driven into insanity by Faust as the One Who Grips [[spoiler:after burning his own family to death]], and joined her side as Nagel und Hammer's right-hand man [[spoiler:just like in Kromer's vision.]]
----
* BiblicalMotifs: This version of Sinclair has an incomplete Mark of Cain on his forehead. Based on the introduction trailer and the illustration, one of the three was apparently consumed [[spoiler:when he burned his family to death]].
* DeathOrGloryAttack: His third skill has 3 coins and a base power of 30, but loses 12 for each coin that lands Heads - if you land all Tails, you have bar none the most powerful attack in the game so far, while if you land Heads your damage is extremely reduced or even nullified.
* DifficultButAwesome: Due to his gimmick of losing sanity with each attack and losing significant power when his coins land heads, using him demands a very particular strategy of keeping his Sanity low enough that he's unlikely to land heads, but not low enough that he hits the -45 mark and Corrodes (or finding a way to work around the Corrosion). But if you manage to do it, you have one of the strongest damage dealers in the game with high base power and multiple coins on all his skills; his third skill in particular has a base power of ''30'', higher than most E.G.O abilities, with ''three coins'' that add up to 90 base power on attack if you land all tails.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration:
** He fittingly pairs well with the One Who Grips Faust: her Whistles passive targets the ally with the lowest Sanity, which will almost surely be him, and heals SP to avoid him going overboard with the Sanity loss and Corrode. When she heals him using her passive, you'll hear him laugh when the whistles are heard.
** If you bring him to Kromer's fight, she'll be so utterly stunned [[spoiler:at seeing the ideal version of Sinclair she envisioned fighting her]] that she'll ''instantly stagger at the start of the fight,'' providing a major opportunity to tear off a fat chunk of her health bar.
** In keeping with Nagel und Hammer's fanatical hatred for prosthetics, his third skill does more damage if the target is a "Mechanical Amalgam".
* MirthlessLaughter: Sinclair does this whenever ''The One Who Grips'' Faust's whistle is activated, on the condition that the passive affects him.
* PlayingWithFire: All of his skills are capable of dealing Burn status effect, and the illustrations of his identity show him being surrounded by flames around him.
* SanitySlippage: ''Weaponized''. In stark contrast to most other identities released so far, ''all of his abilities'' save his defensive skill will lower his SP on use, and his passive (which is cheap enough to almost always be active) halves SP gain when successfully winning clashes or killing enemies. In turn, almost all of the additional effects on his skills will only activate when the coins land tails, and them having large minus coins also causes them to ''lose'' massive power if he has high sanity and is rolling "well".
* SituationalDamageAttack: His third skill, Self-destructive Purge, does an additional 10% damage against targets which are "Mechanical Amalgams".
* TearsOfBlood: The illustrations for this identity show him with blood dripping from his eyes in a manner that makes him look like he's crying.
* UniformityException: Unlike all of the other N corp units, this Identity has no Nail-stacking skills but rather Burn and a bit of Bleed.

----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: She has noticeably darker skin than other Sinners, and a different shade of dark compared to Heathcliff. Considering her namesake and the language on her ID, it's likely she's ethnically Greek.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the gacha game characters like those of ''VideoGame/AzurLane'' (almost universally female) who exist as wish fulfillment fantasies for male players - those that, while no slouch in battle, consistently praise their superior (in all other games, ''you'') by pointing out how competent and skilled you are, and most of all, how ''dependent'' they are of you, despite the player-insert being plain in comparison. While she doesn't go as far as getting touchy-feely with them (which characters of aforementioned games ''do''), all the praise she heaps on Dante is presented as [[ProfessionalButtKisser aggressive bootlicking]] rather than genuine affection, and this combined with her murky background and unclear motives makes everyone suspicious of her, even Dante themself.
* DevilInPlainSight: Everyone, from her crew, her boss and even the ''game's website'' makes note of her sketchy nature and open habit of sucking up to her superior. What exactly she’s planning to gain from it, however, is a mystery.
* DrillSergeantNasty: To everyone who isn’t Dante, she acts like their drill sergeant and tries to whip the generally apathetic group into fighting shape and formations. However, since she leans more into the 'nasty' end of the trope, she usually just insults and berates the team rather actually hand out good advice.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: She openly insults Dante when the Sinners first find their body in the prologue acting with her usual DrillSergeantNasty self; come a few hours later with their formal introductions after being informed Dante is their manager, and she's apologizing for her rudeness to someone she could "never make grovel before [her]," and responding to Dante's confusion as though they're choosing to overlook what she was referring to, followed by [[BlatantLies insisting and justifying how and why she always knew they had what it took to lead the Sinners]], then finally declaring absolute devotion to them, [[PsychoticSmirk all the while sporting a rather offputting expression.]] Her profile stating her to be an especially fickle Sinner to approach lines up ''very'' well with all her unwelcoming traits on display.
-->'''Ishmael''': [[LampshadeHanging I'm amazed at how you can sing such bold-faced high praise not too long after calling them a "miserably writhing wretch".]]
* HiddenDepths: The Hell's Chicken event shows she's somehow a SupremeChef who manages to actually make a meal good enough for the distorted owner of Eunbong's Chicken to enjoy. It's especially notable considering Meursault was ''also'' able to make a good dish that was only rejected for the lack of passion behind it, which implies Outis actually puts some level of care into her cooking.
** The dialogue immediately following this implies that her cooking is not actually anything special (it is at least, ''edible''), but rather her decorative flourish added to the dish's presentation at the end to "honor" Dante was what moved Papa Bongy's heart, as opposed to any particular secret flavors or cooking techniques.
* HumbleHero: Invoked to borderline comical levels, where she'll regularly downplay her own talents to pour heaps of praise for Dante, and of course entirely ignoring or disapproving of the other Sinners at virtually every given moment.
-->'''Outis:''' This was 99% your brilliant leadership and 1% my competence!
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She says the name of the Eunbong's Chicken restaurant is tacky and should be changed, only for the distorted owner to despondently inform her that the restaurant was named after his mother. [[EveryoneHasStandards Outis, for her part, immediately backtracks the statement and awkwardly says tacky is actually good.]]
* InsaneTrollLogic: While serving as chef for Ryōshū's team, she starts criticizing the rest of the Sinners she's with for their unhealthy diets; while there is TruthInTelevision in the case of Sinclair's height, it instantly devolves from there when she blames Faust's grey hair (natural, accordingly) and Ishmael's rough hands (from constant physical labor serving aboard a ship) on the same reasoning.
* {{Jerkass}}: When she's not kissing Dante's ass, she's not the most pleasant to the rest of the Sinners, being akin to a strict drill instructor than anything else. She even offers to throw an unconscious Sinclair out of the bus during his breakdown in Canto III and repeatedly refers to the other Sinners as garbage at several points.
* JerkassToOne: In particular, she's especially critical of Sinclair and expressed several times her willingness to boot him off the bus. even after the events of Canto III.
** An inversion, of course, with Dante, [[ProfessionalButtKisser where her demeanor takes a complete 180.]] How much of this is genuine however is something everyone's skeptical on.
* LackOfEmpathy: Along with Vergilius, who was implied to be getting ready to pummel or kill him, Outis uppercuts Sinclair in the gut to get him to shut up during a panic attack he’s having in Canto III, and suggests that they throw him off the bus to continue their mission without him.
* LoopholeAbuse: Unwittingly the real reason her dish was a success for Papa Bongy to accept; she made the dish ''with Dante in mind'', with enough passion in trying to win the favor of someone that the passionless Meursault lacked in his dish that was technically sound but had no heart to it.
* LoyalToThePosition: Possibly. She only became a bootlicker for Dante ''after'' being informed they would be the manager of the Sinners, and explicitly cites in an argument with Vergilius when Dante has to revive everyone for a third time that she was hired to take orders from her manager, not him.
* MeaningfulName: Her name, "Outis", is a Greek word for "Nobody". Unlike the other sinners, her personal records can't be accessed, being forbidden from the Manager by the Company itself. She is, essentially, 'Nobody'.
* MercyKill: [[spoiler:In Canto III, after finding Effie impaled on a giant nail, and knowing that with how he's been hung he'd be doomed to a slow death they couldn't save him from, Outis offers to Dante that she can put him out of his misery quickly so that he won't have to suffer. She states she's utilized this method for the same purpose multiple times before as well.]]
* MildlyMilitary: Given her strict attitude and the uniform she wears in her ingame mugshot, it isn't really a secret that Outis used to be in a military of some kind, what with her still acting like the commander of a unit, something which tends to rub the other Sinners the wrong way. To her credit, though, her experience and knowledge of combat and strategy is still incredibly beneficial.
* MixAndMatchWeapon: Her E.G.O. "To Páthos Máthos" (''"Suffering Becomes Experience"'') is a sword that she stabs into an enemy. It then fires a bullet into the opponent's body.
* NoRangeLikePointBlankRange: Outis buries her E.G.O. inside her target before pulling the trigger and blasting them back.
* OddNameOut: After a fashion. Unlike Hong Lu, Outis is named after a ''nickname'' of her referenced character, "Outis" being the fake name Odysseus gave to the Cyclops.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: Her giving the aforementioned MercyKill to Effie, considering she could've just kept quiet. It's one of the few times she does something somewhat kind that isn't her deliberately trying to sucker up to Dante, though it is worth noting she ''does'' only offer after Dante expresses horror at Effie's state. That being said, considering how she [[{{Jerkass}} usually acts]], it still qualifies.]]
** Taken at face value, her various greetings to Dante have her reminding them and showing concern for their health regarding their diet and sleep schedule, and offers to eat lunch with them so they aren't alone. However, if Papa Bongy's evaluation of her dish is anything to go off of, there's at least some level of sincerity to it.
* ProfessionalButtKisser: When she first meets Dante, she rudely dismisses their state, before learning that they are the Executive Manager - and, thus, her boss. Once Dante wakes up from resurrecting the entire company, she immediately starts claiming she could tell that they had incredible talent at first glance, and her lines with Dante have her continuously praise them for their genius while downplaying her own talents.
--> '''Ishmael''': Golly... Don't you ever get tired of licking their boot so clean, Outis?
* TheStrategist: To an extent; while she isn't the leader (that role falls to Dante), she is noted as a worthy potential advisor, having a keen mind for battlefield tactics and a wide base of knowledge about life in the City.
* SuicidalOverconfidence: The third time Dante has to use their ability to revive a Sinner, they are so worried of the agony that comes with it that Vergil has to threaten them and everyone else on the bus with suffering so gruesome that death would be mercy. Everyone is too nervous to stand up to him, except Outis, who butts in on the conversation to declare that if the manager says they don’t want to use their ability then that’s their order, and that [[ExactWords she was hired to take orders from Dante]], ''not'' [[TheDreaded Vergil]]. Lucky for her, Dante relents to his demands as Vergil was getting ready to attack her.
* SupportPartyMember: Her G Corp. and Seven Section kits seem largely geared towards providing status effects with her skills rather than raw damage, meaning that in a straight-up fight, her attacks tend to do borderline ScratchDamage unless the enemy is already heavily debuffed. Indicative of this, she's often the SquishyWizard health-wise as well.
* TeamMom: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed heavily]], but she's the oldest female Sinner (and perhaps oldest in the group in general) and her attitude towards the other Sinners has the feel of an authoritative mother mixed with a drill sergeant.
* WrenchWench: Noted as having enough technical skill and knowledge of Workshop technologies to repair the bus.
!! Identities
!!! Blade Lineage Cutthroat
A version of Outis who became a swordswoman, taking the role of leader of a small unit of Blade Lineage swordfighters.
----
* AuthorityInNameOnly: Played with. While Outis is a strong swordfighter in her own right, and is considered a powerful leader for it, she defers a decent amount of her authority to her fellow Blade Lineage Salsu, Yi Sang. To the point that she recognizes his strength compared to hers, and acknowledges that it was by his recommendation that she even became such.
* SurpassedTheTeacher: She mentions how she had been taught the very important lesson of striking at the waist first by her mentor. Who she subsequently mentions that she had killed.

!!! G Corp. Head Manager
A version of Outis who became a soldier under the old G Corp.
----
* BodyHorror: As is custom for soldiers under G Corp. When using her third skill, Focus, a swarm of worm-like appendages burst from her back.
* HornedHumanoid: Her most prominent mutations are two massive beetle-like horns protruding from her head, something she shares with the G Corp Head Manager encountered within the old District 4 L Corp Branch in Canto 1.
* JustFollowingOrders: This is her justification for participating in the Smoke War under G Corp.'s employ. The judges at the military tribunal don't buy it.
* TheScapegoat: After the end of the Smoke War in their timeline, Outis was apparently put up to trial and made to shoulder the blame for G Corp in order to ensure a smooth transition once the conflicts had ended.

!!! Seven South Section 6 Director
A version of Outis who worked her way up to the position of Director of Section 6 of the Seven Association, even if it is fairly unglamorous.
----
* AlternateSelf: Outis's overall demeanor here as a ConsummateProfessional serving as a MissionControl of sorts over the phone 24/7, paired with her glasses and [[DrinkBasedCharacterization preference for a specific form of caffeine]] point to this version of Outis being a stand-in for [[Literature/TheDistortionDetective Han Hee-joon]].
* AwesomeByAnalysis: Apparently how she got the position, from her ability to efficiently piece information together at a glance in her head - this is reflected in-game by her enemies clashing worse against her and her hitting their weaknesses harder than normal.
* ConsummateProfessional: Maintains a very professional demeanor, as opposed to her bootlicking base identity. She'll even skip lunch if she has work to make up.
* LoopholeAbuse: Her passive, '''Grasping Vulnerabilities''', when activated, lets her deal 10% extra damage if the target is weak or fatal against the damage type she deals (either blunt or slash depending on the attack). Of course, this would fall off if facing an enemy that doesn't have any weak or fatal resistances...except when it's ''staggered'', where it will ''always'' work when it's active, since staggered enemies are fatal against all damage types, essentially giving her extra 10% bonus damage.
* MythologyGag: Of course [[ProfessionalButtKisser Outis]] would get an identity that seems to be based on the leader of the Seven Association reception in ''VideoGame/LibraryOfRuina'', given that they were [[OneSteveLimit also named Dante]].

----
* ArcSymbol: Fittingly for the source material, Gregor's DayInTheLimelight involves heavy visually symbolism around apples once the team heads into the L Corp ruins, with Ebony Queens Apple and False Apple playing heavy roles in further tormenting him in some way, along with the eventual reveal that a teenage Gregor had spent days training his arm by just chopping apples apart in his locked room under Hermanns watch.
* ThirteenIsUnlucky: The thirteenth sinner listed on the website who is not only a veteran of the catastrophic Smoke War but also left it with a grotesque and mutated insectoid arm, completely unable to return to a normal life thanks to a combination of social stigma, his mutations and all-around bad luck. In Season 1, his story, unlike Rodions and Sinclairs, is left incomplete and without any personal catharsis as he's left completely jaded over the failure of the mission, having to meet and/or kill the people from his past, and the gruesome death of his new friend. His alternate futures also tend to be some of the more overtly gruesome of the Sinners.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Canto I focuses on Gregor the most of all twelve Sinners, with the non-Abnormality enemies all being [[spoiler:former members of G Corp]] who recognize him on sight.
* AffectionateNickname: He calls Dante "Manager Bud".
* AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: Though some identities have him with even worse mutations than what he's plagued with currently, others depict alternate Gregors who have nicer arms and arguably better lives than he has.
* AmbiguouslyRelated: [[spoiler:To Hermann, the G Corp scientist who experimented on him. They have similar hair colors and her name comes from Hermann Kafka, the father of Franz Kafka. While it ''could'' be considered confirmed by her outright calling herself his mother, it's not certain whether she was referring to them being biologically related, or just because of her being the one who experimented on him.]]
* AnArmAndALeg: While his LCB and G Corp identities have his signature insectile arm, his other identities have a regular prosthetic where his arm would have been. This could imply that he has been missing his right arm since birth, or at least lost it at an early age, where his experimentation by G Corp regenerated it into an insect one.
* BadLiar: He’s pretty bad at bluffing people, which Rodya snarks at him over after two embarrassing failures.
** The first time, he tries to both fake and rouse a slave uprising to buy the crew some time against the incoming J Corp. guards, but the guards are completely unconvinced of the danger, the slaves are in no mood to play along and the Sinners just let him embarrass himself.
** The second time, he tries to convince Nagel und Hammer that he and the team are simple tourists on a trip (through a ''razed town'') and his stammering only attracts more eyes from the Inquisitors and awkward silence from the rest of the crew.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Being inspired by ''The Metamorphosis'', his E.G.O causes parts of his body to turn insectile when in use, in an InvoluntaryShapeshifting manner.
* BodyHorror: His E.G.O., "Suddenly, One Day", has this in spades. His insectile arm grows in size before positively ''bursting'' out of its rags in horrific fashion, transforming into a mutated claw.
* CallBack: His E.G.O., or at least the cast he keeps it in, is notably adorned with the various floor symbols of the ''[[VideoGame/LibraryOfRuina Library]]'' across it. What this means, and what relation Gregor has to the Sephirah, has yet to be made clear.
** Furthermore, his base E.G.O name is written in Hebrew (Franz Kafka was Jewish) instead of in German, the language Kafka wrote in.
* ChildSoldiers: Gregor is noted to have been participating in events related to war since he was at least ''fifteen''. With his actual involvement possibly stretching back even further with the time he would've been experimented on by Hermann.
* CordonBleughChef: During Hell's Chicken, it's shown his overreliance on canned rations and inability to coordinate the eccentric personalities on his team (in particular, Yi Sang and Don Quixote) result in his food being random heaps of bizarre ingredients comparable to the food waste found in a dumpster.
* DetachmentCombat: Using the E.G.O of Electric Centipede, [=AEDD=], his insect arm is replaced with a smaller copy of Electric Centipede which does this to zap targets at a distance.
* DismembermentIsCheap: Only for his insectile arm, though. Even if that one is cut off, it's only a matter of time before it grows back to the way it was.
* TheEveryman: Of the Sinners, he's the one most willing to work alongside Dante (and the only one who ''will'' freely and genuinely talk to them at any length) and generally is liked well enough among everyone in the group because Gregor is considerate enough not to step on any of their toes when making conversation.
* TheFace:
** He serves as one for the Sinners; Gregor's standing front and center in promotional lineups, he's the first to properly introduce himself on account of being the closest to sit in the front, and he's the first Sinner to receive ADayInTheLimelight through a Canto being dedicated to him. He even wound up being the first of the playable Sinners who can serve as an announcer instead of Dante (or Charon) as a reward from the Season 1 Limbus Pass. This could be invoked on some level, seeing as he's the most down to earth and normal in personality and can generally get along just fine with the rest of the group, with even his profile noting him to be much easier to work with than usual. Ironically, it doesn't take long for him to express his exhaustion at having to take the lead so often when Vergilius has the Sinners introduce themselves to Dante in order of who's the closest to the front of the bus.
** [[spoiler:He was the only G Corp. soldier to never have had his face made at all insectoid, instead only having his arm be visibly altered. Because of this, he became the symbol of G Corp. during the Smoke War, being plastered on magazines, billboards, and posters, and becoming a legend among lower-ranked soldiers.]]
* FriendToBugs: Probably not by choice, but he has a pet roach that’s consistently resting on him. One is always riding on his shoulder in his official artwork, in his talksprites, and one is present in the art for his G Corp., Liu Association, R.B. Sous-chef, and R Corp. identities.
* GallowsHumor: He admits that his tendency to snark and make dark jokes is because of his terrible past.
* GratuitousGerman: The English translation at times has him say German words.
* HealingFactor: His insectoid arm is able to quickly grow back whenever cut off. Reflected in-game by the passives of his base Identity and E.G.O, both of which heal him.
* HypocriticalHumor: He snarks at Dante barely avoiding calling him "bug guy", noting that it's like him calling Dante "clock face" instead of their name. He then immediately calls Charon "bus girl", which she snarks at ''him'' about, with him and Dante sharing a laugh about it.
* InvoluntaryShapeshifting: The manual notes that heightened emotions and shifts in environment can cause him to partially (or even completely) transform into an insectile being.
* IronicFear: Gregor, a man with an insect's forearm, is genuinely repulsed and petrified of insects, heavily implied to come from his own horrible experience at G Corp. and his nightmarish brothers-in-arms during the Smoke War. Whenever swarming insects are involved, Gregor is noted to be visibly nervous, and one encounter has the team pass by an entire hallway full of roaches that will cause Gregor to lose 20 sanity points if they're ordered to walk directly through them.
%%* {{Irony}}: The most overtly monstrous Sinner who's constantly teetering on losing himself to wild instincts is the most normal and friendly in personality.
* JackOfAllTrades: His base Identity is this, with pretty good speed at 3-7, a middling health value, decently good offensive and defensive levels close to being on par with [[GlassCannon Outis]] and [[StoneWall Meursault]] respectively, and a set of skills and passives that all feed into each other and make him self-sufficient.
* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: [[spoiler: While exploring the ruined Lobotomy Corporation site, the Sinners are transported into a scenario based off Gregor's memories of the Smoke War; at one point, they're even chased by Hermann's giant hands, only being able to escape the scenario when Gregor acknowledges he was never actually able to run from her when it all happened in the first place and letting the hands grab the protagonists.]]
* KafkaKomedy: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]: being based on Franz Kafka's most famous work, Gregor is an ultimately decent and friendly guy who was put into horrible situations and had his life ruined by outside forces beyond his control, and it's played for all the horror it's worth. He has a tendency to crack jokes to lighten the mood, though he admits it's a coping mechanism.
* {{Malaproper}}: Has shades of this, such as calling Seigfried "Zack Friture" or Aida from the mariachis as "Ayeda from the merry archils".
* MessOfWoe: Downplayed, in that while he’s no slob, he’s not bothering with his appearance much. He’s got scruffy facial hair, his head hair is unkempt and his uniform is a bit more disheveled than the rest of the crew.
* NiceGuy: Snarky humor and cynical tendencies aside, Gregor is among the nicest of the Sinners.
* OddFriendship: He's one of the few Sinners who's actually friendly with Dante, to the point they actually sit next to each other on the bus. Out of all the Sinners Gregor is one Dante seems to feel the most comfortable actively joking around and bantering with, while Gregor doesn't hold any of their failings as a manager against them, likely due to his backstory making him far more sympathetic to Dante's situation than the others.
* OrganAutonomy: One downside of Gregor's insect arm is that it's highly reactive to any excessive stimulation or strong emotions he experiences, more often than not entirely against his will. With the worst example witnessed being in a flashback where he's literally struggling against his own body when it erupts and almost impales an innocent civilian, begging for someone to cut it off so he can't hurt anyone. It's even got such a hair-trigger that it can be activated by ''dancing''.
* ParrotPetPosition: While he insists he [[BlatantLies doesn't know how it got there]], he has a roach resting on his shoulder. This roach also appears more often than his insect arm in his other Identities.
* PartialTransformation: A particular theme with Gregor is his right arm, which in his base identity, is insectoid. his other identities not related to G Corp are given different kinds of prosthetics instead, but the most notable trait is this arm seems to resonate more with EGO, as every EGO transformation of his focuses primarily on transfiguring it.
** Suddenly, One Day leaves his arm wrapped in the striped sinner cloth shared by all basic EGO, growing in size before a more monstrous arm bursts out of it.
** Legerdemain transforms his arm into a tree branch with a golden apple attached to the end of it
** Lantern transforms his arm into a bundle of tree branches which he can extend to impale the enemy
** AEDD replaces his arm with a robotic centipede that he can detach to do a long ranged electrical attack.
* ShellShockedVeteran: He's a veteran of the Smoke War, and has lingering trauma from the war itself, the comrades he lost during the war, [[spoiler: and the horrible experiments G Corp did on him and the other employees]].
* TheShortGuyWithGlasses: He’s very noticeably short, and unlike Sinclair it’s definitely not because of his age. While not brilliant like the trope entails, he’s the most grounded and rational of the otherwise irrational team.
* SmokingIsCool: While not explicitly a chain-smoker like Ryōshū, Gregor is frequently seen with a cigarette in his mouth in official art.
* SuperSoldier: [[spoiler: His insectoid arm is a result of being experimented on by the previous G Corp, something which was done to all of their military personnel. Even among the other soldiers, however, he's especially super, having a HealingFactor and being the only soldier to not have his face disfigured by insectoid features in some manner, making him into TheFace for the war effort.]]
* UnfriendlyFire: Discussed if he is selected to do a check that he has a very low chance of passing:
-->'''Gregor''': ...So you were the kind of boss to get fragged by their own men.
* UnwittingTestSubject: He was subjected to bio-enhancement surgeries at around age 15, and his arm is the result. He makes it very clear this was not something he wanted ''at all''.
* WeaponWieldsYou: [[spoiler: One flashback from his past involves his insectoid arm lashing out and trying to kill an innocent woman after the war. He yells at another person to cut the arm off, but his HealingFactor causes it to instantly regrow.]]
!! Identities
!!! G Corp. Manager Corporal
A version of Gregor where his insect mutations never stopped, and he remained a loyal soldier of G Corp.
----
* BodyHorror: G Corp. Manager Gregor explores this in greater detail in comparison to his Limbus Company self. He now has two serrated insect scythe-arms so large he may as well be quadrupedal, roach wings hang uselessly off his back and his torn uniform is soaked in blood, most of it more than likely his enemies than himself.
* EmptyShell: The end result of his service to G Corp. He’s been reduced to an animalistic mental state, unlike the sane yet cynical LC Gregor.
* LifeDrain: His entire schtick. All of his skills heal him under the right conditions, while also dealing considerable amounts of damage. His third skill can even make him heal equal to all of the damage he dealt with its last coin. Might be GameplayAndStoryIntegration if his normal self's HealingFactor arm extends to this Identity's bug limbs.
* NeverFoundTheBody: Outis's G Corp. Identity expresses surprise at seeing their "old wartime hero" as a part of Limbus Company, as he apparently disappeared as soon as the war had ended with no one having any idea where he went off to.
* WideEyedIdealist: How he is presented as a G Corp. Recruit, constantly standing at attention and talking about how proud and honored he is to be working for G Corp, confident that G Corp. and its work. His loyalty is rewarded by turning him into a near mindless killing machine.
!!! Liu South Section 6
A version of Gregor who joined the Liu Association and has a proper prosthetic arm instead of the insectile one like his prime counterpart.
----
* CouldntFindALighter: Gregor claims he uses the fire generated by his arm this to light his own cigarettes. He's offered to do this for Ryōshū as well, but she refuses.
* DamageOverTime: As standard for Liu members, he specializes in dealing incendiary damage and DamageOverTime against opponents.
* FeelNoPain: In regards to his artificial arm, anyways. He claims that not feeling anything there is beneficial to his combat process, and as long as he doesn't feel any pain there, he's invincible.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: His backstory has him fend off a group of guys who tried to ambush him on the street, and while he shows mercy at first, the group ends up pushing him too far.
---> '''Ruffian''': How does it make sense for a scraggly prune like you to beat up eight healthy young people?
---> '''Gregor''': Prune, huh. Listen, youngster... You've got much nicer words around - experienced, maybe veteran - you hear me?
---> '''Ruffian''': And-And you're short as hell, too!
---> '''Gregor''': Short…
---> '''Ruffian''': Plus you look like a total mess!
---> '''Gregor ''': Hey now, that’s not true at all…
---> '''Ruffian''': Yes it is, no cap! Your beard's on that five-month shadow, and your hair's a damn bird‘s nest! [[KilledMidSentence You-]]
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to his Limbus Company self as a beaten down and shell-shocked mercenary, and his G Corp. self who’s an EmptyShell soon to be mutated beyond recognition, his Liu Association self gets off easy by giving him an affluent career and finally having his mutated arm removed, giving him a completely functional prosthetic hand. He seems fairly content in this version of his future. It makes sense, as Liu Association's fighting style requires its members to be in control of their emotions in order to effectively build up to a powerful catharsis.
* MundaneUtility: He tends to use the flames generated from the Liu's ignition tech to light up his cigarettes. He sees nothing wrong with this and thinks of it as a neat feature, while Ryōshū comments on how "unartistic" it is.
* PowerFist: Unlike his other versions, this Gregor sports a prosthetic arm in place of his insect claw in accordance with the Liu Section's dress code and [[BarefistedMonk battle style]].

!!!R.B. Sous-chef
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: The original Jack cares dearly for Pierre, and the two would had been mistaken for a lovely couple... if not for them running a cannibal bistro. Here, just like Ryōshū, the two are willing to backstab and kill each other.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Not satisfied to simply be cooking and serving human flesh pies, this Gregor has a desire to kill and usurp Ryōshū's spot as head chef and take over the Bistro for himself. The only reason he hasn't done so yet is he's still watching her work so he can steal her cooking secrets for himself.
* AnArmAndALeg: This Gregor has a prosthetic arm, with a mention he lost the old one. It's heavily insinuated that however it was he lost it, it was ''eaten'', due to the nature of this District's Backstreets.
* BastardUnderstudy: He's just waiting for the opportunity to kill Ryōshū the moment he's learned her tricks of the trade.
* ChefOfIron: A skilled cook who can handle a cleaver both in cooking and fighting.
* EvilChef: Or at least an evil sous-chef, on account of he takes part in the killing and cooking of humans for food.
* ImAHumanitarian: Along with his boss Chef Ryōshū, this identity makes his living killing humans and turning their meat into pies.
* LuringInPrey: As part of his duties in the bistro, part of Gregor's job is acquiring fresh "ingredients". His most common trick appearing to be riling someone up on the Backstreets, then making a run for it to lure them in when they try to kill him. Only for them to realize too late that they've run headlong into his "workshop", right where he wants them.
* MythologyGag: This identity is based off of Jack from ''Library Of Ruina'', as the two share the same outfit and the title of sous-chef, working under a chef who cooks with human meat. Much like Jack, he also regenerates health at the start of the turn and his kit revolves around healing and Bleed as well as a bit of Paralysis and Bind.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: It's made ''very'' apparent that neither he nor Ryōshū like each other in the slightest as people or as fellow chefs. The only reason he has yet to try anything against her is because he still has things he needs to get out of her before any attempted usurpation of the bistro.

!!Dante
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/797917c5_c39c_41cc_aa83_75a53cd46677.jpeg]] [[caption-width-right:350:Durante]]
-->'''Voice Actor:''' N/A
-->'''Literary references:''' Named after the author and protagonist of ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'', Dante Alighieri.

The Executive Manager of Limbus Company, and main character of the game. Having lost both their memory and their original head, they now work alongside the Sinners in their quest to recover both and retrieve the Golden Boughs.

----
* AmbiguousGender: They're referred with they/them pronouns and, having a literal clock for a head and a gender-neutral outfit, don't have any particular gendered characteristics. Dante is a masculine name, but considering the other Sinners (like Ishmael and Don Quixote), that doesn't count for much. Even more so when you consider the only other person named Dante in a Project Moon work was female.
* AudienceSurrogate: Due to being struck with LaserGuidedAmnesia, they don't have much knowledge of the world, and thus have to be filled in on information by other characters.
* AuthorityInNameOnly: They muse in Canto II that while they hold the title of Manager, the Sinners don't really listen to them and tend to threaten and belittle them instead, and their role in battle is to cower behind the others and hope they don't die.
* BadassLongcoat: While several of the sinners under their employ have coats of their own, Dante's is unique in being red with yellow accents, the same colors as the Company logo, [[CustomUniform presumably to distinguish them as the Manager]].
* BerserkButton: They were much more aggressive, internally degrading pretty much everything. The opening scene has them enraged at a trio of assailants since they interrupted them in their business, and when Faust informs them that the Sinners will fight on their behalf, they immediately want to kill the trio personally for the interruption.
* TheBlank: It's repeatedly pointed out both by Dante and others they entirely lack all manner of facial features with their clock head, leading to subsequent confusion how they're able to function like a normal person otherwise, disregarding the inability to actually speak.
* BlessedWithSuck: Dante is now a TimeMaster capable of bringing the Sinners back from the dead and healing all their wounds, but doing so is incredibly painful to them and they feel like their internal organs are being ripped out every time they use this power. Not helped is the fact that [[ImmortalLifeIsCheap the Sinners take their resurrections for granted and don't bother trying to avoid injury or death]].
* ButtMonkey: Dante does not have the highest standing within the Sinners. Some do treat them with politeness but unless its Outis, who is probably only doing so because Dante is her boss, no one really respects their decisions or their pain when having to revive all of them when they die.
* CharacterDevelopment: Since being appointed manager, they have not been the most responsible or respectable boss to the Sinners(to be fair, the responsibility was hoisted on them). At the end of Canto III, they do at least attempt to comfort Sinclair, saying that what happened to their family may have been his fault but that he should attempt to move on from that. They also resolve to be a better manager, showing that they are on some level coming to accept the responsibility of being a manager more.
* DismembermentIsCheap: Somehow losing their ''head'' doesn't kill Dante immediately, and they are able to replace it with the prosthetic the are currently donning fairly quickly.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: They might be the only thing standing between the Sinners and permanent death, but most of the Sinners treat them with about as much respect as they treat each other, and that's not much.
* EatingLunchAlone: According to a greeting by Outis, Dante [[NonHumanHead somehow]] has their meals alone. Naturally [[ProfessionalButtKisser this means she forces herself to join them at the table.]]
--> '''(Outis):''' "An outstanding leader such as yourself should not be subject to the pathetic humiliation of eating all alone! I shall join you at your table!"
* EmpathicHealer: Played with. Though Dante doesn't take on any of the physical injuries that the Sinners acquire when turning back the clock for them (a necessity since a lot of the wounds they fixes are fatal), one of the major drawbacks for them is that they still experience the pain of the sinners' wounds when they reverses their time. This includes "pleasant" sensations such as being impaled or stabbed, having their head crushed, or any number of limb or bodily injuries.
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** They do not bat an eye at some of the violent things that the Sinners and the City itself inflicts on its citizens. That said, when faced with a parent being forcibly separated from their child at the immigration center of K city, they admit that if they had simply walked off without doing anything, they would not be able to ever forget the sight.
** Additionally, when facing Kromer at the end of Canto 3, like the rest of the Sinners, they think that she's completely insane and tells Sinclair that he should not listen to her lies.
** They also find Alfonso utterly contemptious and tell her to go screw herself, also blaming her for the death of [[spoiler:Shrenne]]. The only reason why there's no consequences to ''insulting the CEO of a Wing'' is that Faust refuses to accurately translate their reply to her.
* EyelessFace: Given that their head is now a clock, Dante doesn't have any visible eyes to speak of. But even if it's not known exactly ''how'' they can now see, they can still do so just fine. They are even able to do an equivalent of "closing their eyes" in order to not look at their surroundings as they wish.
* FridgeLogic: InUniverse Dante has IdentityAmnesia, so they are learning everything about the City from scratch. In Dante's Notes, they question everything from why threadspinning and uptying have different names, to why people are willing to pay an exorbitant amount of money for a WARP train ticket when they could just [[StatingTheSimpleSolution drive]] (the answer being the way the City is built and how each District differs being too difficult to navigate by car).
* GrandTheftMe: Speculated by Hong Lu and Rodion, when they play with the idea that Dante as they know them is the clock-head, and the actual Dante, AKA their original head and by extension their original personality, was never merely amnesiac and instead is practically dead. Rodion teases that they should just stick with the clock on the chance that their original head was 'super-evil' and stuff, and everyone can only look at Faust for answers they know she's never going to disclose. For what it’s worth, Dante in the prologue is a completely different person from the polite yet anxious amnesiac they wound up as.
* IdentityAmnesia: Dante joins the many gacha protagonists who have somehow lost their memory, in their case due to replacing their head with a clock.
* TheImmune: Ironically, [[spoiler:[[LaserGuidedAmnesia in spite of their amnesia]], Dante seems to be immune to anything capable of altering or erasing memories within the City, allowing them to pocket some of the deepest secrets of the Wings various Singularities without them knowing; giving Dante the opportunity to utilize that knowledge later to gain an edge if they need to over the various factions within the City.]]
* IntelligibleUnintelligible: To the Sinners, they're perfectly audible, but anyone else who listens to them is noted to only hear the sounds of a clock ticking. Vergilius requires an interpreter in order to properly communicate with them, since he's unable to parse meaning from their sounds.
* LosingYourHead: In the prologue, Dante is apparently decapitated in the forest while in the middle of something important. Somehow this doesn't immediately kill them, and they not only live long enough afterwards to replace their head with the clock, but the only noted negative side effect is that they lost some of their memories.
* TheMedic: In a sense. One of the primary uses of their ability is to resurrect and heal Sinners, although this is an incredibly painful process for them.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite coming across as the only normal person amongst the Sinners, Dante isn't above the group's general nonsense, such as allowing the Sinners to beat up a group of Syndicate members because one of them asked them which hand was their eye, and using their amnesia to [[ItMakesSenseInContext pretend to not know what dancing is.]]
* OffWithHisHead: The Prologue of the game has Dante being apparently decapitated, but (somehow) they were able to replace their head with the clock they're now most known for.
* OneSteveLimit: {{Subverted}}, as the leader of the Seven Association invitation back in ''Library of Ruina'' was also named Dante. It's even given a mild MythologyGag as [[ProfessionalButtKisser Outis]] has an identity based on that Dante.
* {{Reconstruction}}: Of the amnesiac gacha game protagonist. While Dante does suffer from amnesia, this is used less as a way for the player to impose their own personality onto them and more as a way of heightening their interactions with the Sinners as a bumbling executive manager who has no real way of keeping the lot in control. There is also no player input when it comes to their reactions and choices during the story, whereas most other gachas use multiple-choice dialogue segments to make the player feel as if they "are" the character; Dante has an entirely independent personality separate from the player and is as much of a character as everyone else is, rather than simply being a narrator.
** The 2023 April Fools event runs with this, with Dante having a malfunction and experiencing hallucinations/visions of mirror dimensions that are parodies of other Gacha games, such as ''VideoGame/BlueArchive'' and ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}'' which often involve the poster girl approaching the self-insert protagonist...except instead of any of the female Sinners, it's Vergiliius who takes that role and acts very out-of-character. It also pokes fun at the tendency of self-insert characters' titles like Dante being called Teacher, Professor, Commander, Captain, Doctor, and so on, to the point Dante has an identity crisis and a mental breakdown.
* RichesToRags: According to Vergilius, they were a big shot similar to a famous Fixer in a Nest, before they lost all their memories.
* ShutUpHannibal: [[spoiler: Their response to Alfonso practically bragging about K. Corp more or less [[KarmaHoudini getting away with everything]] is a simple "Screw yourself". Fortunately, Alfonso herself can't hear Dante, and Faust wisely decides not to translate that particular statement.]]
* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler: Even after the memory-wipe procedure that Alfonso gave towards all of the Sinners regarding the truth of their Singularity, Dante remarks that they are immune to it and decides to keep this information to themselves. This makes them acutely aware of the truth of two Singularities, W Corp and K Corp's.]]
* TheSpeechless: While Dante ''is'' capable of "speaking" in a sense, unlike the other Sinners, they have no voiced lines. Instead, anytime when they're indicated to be saying something, it's usually accompanied by the sound of a ticking clock; only the Sinners [[spoiler:and Demian]] are able to understand them, as Vergilius claims that the ticking is the only sound an outsider like him can hear, and others require one of Sinners to interpret for them otherwise. They're also able to express themself with different sounds depending on their mood, such as a train whistle being blown, or an alarm clock going off.
* TimeMaster: Their ability serves as the latest in ''Project Moon's'' line of justifications for why [[TheManyDeathsOfYou your units can die so continuously]]. They can rewind time to bring back the other Sinners if they happen to die gruesomely. However, Dante doesn't turn back time as a whole; they can only rewind the time of the Sinners' bodies to a pre-death state, and it doesn't work on anyone that isn't a Sinner.
* ToHellAndBack: The way they revive the Sinners is depicted is by dragging them out of a gigantic ominous gate in the middle of an empty plane, implied to be the gate of ''Hell itself'', if the wails they hears from the other side are any indication. How literal this is meant to be is ambiguous.
* VisualPun: After being rebuilt, Dante now has a clock for a head, meaning that they have a literal ''clock face''.
* YouRemindMeOfX: [[spoiler:After Dante asks Sinclair if he's afraid of confronting Kromer in Canto III, Sinclair comments that they remind him of Demian.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:You may call me, Vergilius.]]
-->'''Voice Actor:''' Jeong Seong-hoon

A Color Fixer who helps to guide the rest of Limbus Company through the City, using his knowledge and experience.
----
* AllPowerfulBystander: He's a well-connected Color Fixer with enough sway to make even ''Fingers'' kowtow to him, as seen in ''Webcomic/{{Leviathan}}''. That said, he [[SourSupporter doesn't really care for the Sinners all that much]] and doesn't enter the fray unless it's something extremely critical that the Sinners can't handle themselves - such as rescuing Dante at the start of the game.
* BioAugmentation: ''{{Webcomic/Leviathan}}'' goes into detail with some of Vergilius' modifications. In particular, his legs essentially have compact car engines built into them that give incredible acceleration, speed, and force to his movements, and his blows are strong enough to break bones and rupture organs (all most certainly augmented heavily as well, since his enemy was a high-ranking Ring member) on their own.
* BloodMagic: In ''{{Webcomic/Leviathan}}'', Vergilius's E.G.O. allows him to sink into pools of blood and conjure weapons with it.
* CurbStompBattle: During the opening Canto, after the Sinners have all been killed by the trio of assailants after Dante, Vergilius steps in - and immediately dismembers two of them the moment he exits the bus, instantly ending the battle and forcing the third to drag his compatriots away.
* TheDarknessGazesBack: He's introduced in ''Limbus Company'' emerging from the darkness inside of the bus, with only his [[RedEyesTakeWarning infamous red eyes]] being clearly visible.
* TheDreaded: When he makes the slightest noise on the bus, the Sinners ''immediately'' freeze up, and nobody dares go against his word. This is for a ''damn good reason'', given he's a Color Fixer and thus one of the strongest people in the city.
* EveryoneHasStandards: As much as he's a SourSupporter who'd rather leave the trouble of collecting the Golden Boughs to the Sinners, doing very little himself to help them accomplish anything other than pointing them in the direction they need to go, [[spoiler:Don Quixote's [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} neurotic behavior]] [[TheLoad screwing over things three times now]], especially in regards to the one time he gave ''explicit instruction'' not to cross K Corp and break one of their taboos, is enough to have him stand on K Corp's side and finally push him to a RageBreakingPoint, thrashing and berating her for her repeated shenanigans once the crew gets back to Mephistopheles.]]
* FlamingSword: Vergilius' signature weapon is an extremely high-quality gladius that burns hot enough to cauterize the wounds it deals instantly. It easily stands up to [[spoiler: Iori's]] weapons in ''{{Webcomic/Leviathan}}'', and even when wielded by the much lesser-skilled Garnet, generic weapons wielded by lower-level Ring members provide no resistance to it at all. Seeing how powerful [[spoiler: Iori]] is, both in and out of gameplay, he must be on a similar power level as her.
* GuiltComplex: His defining character trait. Whether it’s in funding a doomed orphanage for the children of people he’s killed, joining Limbus Company to recover Garnet and Lapis, or even preferring a heated sword to cauterize wounds and avoid the sight of blood, everything Vergilius does is to escape the burden of his past even as it gets heavier in the process. Appropriately, his E.G.O. is utterly soaked in blood when it manifests.
* {{Irony}}: His former office full of beloved colleagues was completely wiped out save for Charon, and now he's stuck with the Sinners, a team of ramshackle Fixers who he finds to be insufferable in one way or another, and who can come back to life with insulting convenience thanks to Dante.
* MoralityPet: He's dismissive of most of the Sinners and at most polite when speaking to Faust, but he's consistently shown to be caring towards Charon, with him making sure she's feeling well and leaving any decisions unrelated to company business to her. [[spoiler:Him only being part of Limbus Company to return her to her original state as Lapis would explain that.]]
* PetTheDog: After the grueling events of Canto III, all the Sinners trudge back onto the bus and are greeted by Vergilius, who brusquely offers them chicken kebabs as a treat for their hard work and acquisition of another Golden Bough. He insinuates he mostly bought them for Charon, but he still made sure to have plenty enough for everyone.
* RageBreakingPoint: After three consecutive moments of Don Quixote endangering the Sinners with her neurotic behavior, Vergilius finally loses his patience and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown makes it very clear how low she is on the company’s pecking order.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: He's called ''The Red Gaze'' for a reason. In ''{{Webcomic/Leviathan}}'', his eyes are shown to glow and leave trails of light behind as he's in combat. They also glow at times during regular conversation, although this generally implies he's trying to make it ''very clear'' both how serious he is and how severely he could injure his conversation partner.
* SoleSurvivor: By the time of ''Limbus Company'', Vergilius is the only member of his titular office left, the others all having been killed by a combination of their infiltration mission into the Ring and having been wiped out by N Corp's taboo hunters.
* SourSupporter: Vergilius looks and sounds perpetually miserable, speaking with a tired and disinterested voice at all times. Given he's a Color Fixer, he may view his current role as guide a considerable waste of his potential, not to mention the fact that [[spoiler: he's only acting as a guide because Faust claimed she could restore Garnet and Lapis' original states of being]]. In fairness, the many flaws and quirks of the Sinners would drive anyone to feel a little discontent at having to work with them.
* StoryBreakerPower: Discussed in-universe; Vergilius is a Color Fixer and thus would be able to easily solo pretty much every mission Limbus Company has to deal with, but he intentionally doesn't get involved because he claims there wouldn't be any challenge for the Sinners - it's speculated by the characters he has an ulterior motive for not getting directly involved.
* SuperSpeed: Courtesy of his leg augmentations, he moves very fast, [[FlashStep as demonstrated]] on Don Quixote.
* SuperStrength: Vergilius can quite easily crater the ground and destroy buildings with his attacks, even with his relatively small gladius. Or even barehanded.
* ToThePain: He delivers a threat to this tune when he steps in during a fight between Ishmael and Heathcliff, stating that when he's done with them, he'll make them ''beg'' him for death. When Dante refuses to bring back Sinclair because of the pain they suffer from doing it, he says that he'll help them - by making them used to incredible pain by doing something that feels even ''worse''.
* WilfullyWeak: Not only does he try to use his overwhelming strength as little as he possibly can, he has also yet to manifest or even mention his personal E.G.O in-game.

[[caption-width-right:350:Vroom-vroom]]
-->'''Voice Actor:''' Song Ha-rim

The driver of the Limbus Company bus. Formerly known as Lapis.
----
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Vroom-vroom."
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Has both silver hair and silver eyes.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: While the way she drives seems to have no effect on her passengers, Charon has no issue plowing through people in their way on the road. At least a little justified to her, as the people she runs over can be used for fuel.
* EmotionlessGirl: In contrast to Vergilius, she maintains a perpetual expression of boredom and seems entirely unfazed while mowing down countless pedestrians while driving the bus.
* IdentityAmnesia: Following the events of ''{{Webcomic/Leviathan}}'', Charon seems to have completely lost her memories of her time as Lapis, the girl Vergilius once knew, as a result of The Ring's experiments in harnessing alternate realities. Why she didn't end up in the same dead or mutated state as the other test subjects is currently unknown.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Appears to be wielding a giant oar in her [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fcr8W8WakAA3cl-.jpg full cutout art]].
* JustKeepDriving: Does not react in the slightest to the immense vehicular homicide she commits semi-regularly, even when the windshield is visibly slicked with gore.
* MafiaPrincess: Seemingly was one before being taken into the orphanage, as her father was the leader of a Syndicate that Vergilius himself destroyed single-handedly. It's unclear whether or not she's aware of any of that, both before or after her IdentityAmnesia.
* NoSenseOfDirection: Despite being the driver of their bus, Charon apparently has little to no sense of direction and mostly follows her gut on how to get places. She can't read maps, and when asked which way is east or west, she replies that the only directions she needs to know are the front and back ends of the bus.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Unlike Faust, she consistently talks like this instead of occasionally.
* SignificantWhiteHairDarkSkin: Has noticeably dark skin and has silver-colored hair, and is meaningful to Vergilius. More apparent when she was known as Lapis, having a more brown-skinned tone compared to her current dark-ashen skin.
* VagueAge: It's unclear how old she actually is. She was raised in Vergilius' orphanage, but we've already seen multiple others with the same background who are at least in their 20s. Her personality is fairly child-like, but its unclear if this is reflective of her biological age or a product of her IdentityAmnesia. And while she is able to drive the bus, [[DrivesLikeCrazy she doesn't exactly seem to have had any real training to do so]].
