## Profile

### Identity

Saber's true identity is **Lindow Amamiya**, the former leader of the Retaliation team. In God Eater 2 he joins with a traveling branch named Cradle along with Soma, Alisa, and the Protagonist.

He holds a serious secret and was reported MIA (Missing In Action) during the Moon in the Welkin mission after being attacked by an Aragami. However, Lindow survived the mission, but a Dyaus Pita appeared afterwards and he was forced to fight it.

During the fight, he lost his God Eater armlet, but Shio appeared and saved him. While missing, his Aragami cells began to take over his body as his armlet was no longer there to control them with Bias Factor injections. They managed to take over his right arm, causing him incredible pain and affecting his behavior. Whilst in this state, Shio helped him control the pain and slow down the transformation. Eventually, he mutated into a Corrosive Hannibal. Notably, he kept his previous personality, saving Tatsumi's group before his Aragami half took over and turned on them. The Protagonist then saves them and experiences a resonance before the Hannibal departs. The Protagonist and Ren find and fight him in this state, on Aegis Island, and free him from the Hannibal. After a trip through Lindow's mind, the two eventually reach Lindow's true self, and he and the Protagonist fight the Corrosive Hannibal to free him from the mutation. Presently he is still a part of the Fenrir Far East Branch, although still with his mutated right arm (which has stopped taking him over, thanks to the sacrifice of Ren (who was actually his God Arc)).

### Appearance

Lindow is a white-skinned man with black hair that hangs over his left eye. He wears a variation of the Commander Uniform, modified to have coattails that go past his waist, and left open to reveal the black undershirt he has on. During his time while infected, this uniform is visibly torn and damaged from fighting against the Aragami on his own. Lindow eventually develops an Aragami arm -- specifically, in his right one -- as a result of having his infection stopped by Ren.

His appearance has changed little -- except that his brown coat from his time as a leader was changed out for the white jacket common to Cradle members, and he has a golden gauntlet meant to hide the mutated arm underneath it.

### Personality

Lindow is quick to joke around, but shows distinguished judgement and acting power in battle. Regardless of the situation, he prioritizes the survival of his team members before his own. This is shown best by the failed Moon in the Welkin mission, where, in spite of him not having a real choice at the time, he continues to fight the Prithvi Mata to buy time for the rest of the team.

### Relationships

#### **Soma Schicksal**

Both are comrades and veterans. Soma sees him as a reliable leader and a dependable person -- though he often has to remind him to follow his own orders. The two are on friendly terms, and Soma sees himself as owing a lot to Lindow.

#### **Alisa Ilinichina Amiella**

She used to see him as far too laid back for being in the position he's in, to the point of initially deriding his idealistic policy of 'don't die'. Eventually, though, after she makes a recovery from her mental instability, she deeply regrets causing his supposed death. After the events leading up to the end of the Corrosive Hannibal, she now looks forward to working with him again.

## Abilities

Lindow is a Skilled in combat, as well as a decent leader and combat strategist.

### Skills

#### Class Skills

* Magic Resistance (E Rank): Grants protection against magical effects. Differently from the Resistance effect that merely rejects prana, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Cannot cancel spells, but magic damage is reduced somewhat. Saber's Magic Resistance is very low due to him existing in the post-apocalyptic world where magic is no longer practiced when the mystery is thin.

* Riding (E Rank): An expertise to ride animals and vehicles. His Riding Skill is limited to mundane vehicles such as jeep and helicopter. Any kind of animals that can be ridden during his time have mostly perished due to Aragami's infestation.

#### Personal Skills

* Charisma (C Rank): The natural talent to command an army. Increases the ability of allies during group battles. In his life, Saber is not only well-known as one of the strongest God Eaters, but also a very excellent leader. Thanks to his leadership skill, he boasts a survival rate of over 90% when leading other God Eaters on missions, far higher than any other leader.

* Eye of the Mind (True) (B Rank): A heightened capacity for observation, refined through experience. Capable of calm analysis of battle conditions even when in danger and deduce an appropriate course of action after considering all possibilities to escape from a predicament. So long there is even a 1% chance of a comeback, this ability greatly improves the chances of winning. At this rank, the ability grants an effect of offering resistance against penalties caused by visual obstructions.

* Monstrous Strength (C- Rank): An ability possessed by monsters and beasts, temporary boost of the Strength parameter by one rank for a time limit determined by the ranking of this skill. Saber was once overwhelmed by his Aragami cells after losing his armlet, causing him to mutate into an Aragami, Corrosive Hannibal. While he may have reverted back into his human form and recovered, he still retained his mutated Aragami arm and is technically half-Aragami, thus giving him the characteristics of an Aragami. However, whenever this skill is activated, Saber will take damage in every one turn that passes.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **1st Generation God Arc: Blood Surge; "Manifestation of Red Shadow"**

A specialized weapon that can only be wielded by a God Eater, Blood Surge is Saber's God Arc which is also his Noble Phantasm. It has some kind of chainsaw-like function that may appear unwieldy in the hands of others, but in Saber's hands, Blood Surge is a powerful weapon. A God Arc is a domesticated Aragami that can be used to kill Aragami, and is equipped with 'devour' function, which allows Saber to extract his opponent's core as well as to use his opponent's powers after 'devouring' parts of his opponent's body. Also, due to the God Arc's nature as an Aragami, albeit a domesticated one, other people who are foolish enough to touch it will be devoured.

Besides, Blood Surge is also sentient and can take the appearance of a person whose gender is uncertain. This person calls himself (herself?) Ren. While taking a humanoid form, Blood Surge or Ren can act independently like a Servant and can also use a God Arc on his (her) own. The God Arc consists of a short blade, Piercing Phantom and a sniper gun, Thirsty Heart. Ren has a Rank C equivalent of Independent Action, which means that materialization is possible for a day before reverting back into his (her?) God Arc form.

"Alright...now that I've decided to survive, shall I make one last ugly stand?"
