## Profile

### Identity

Berserker'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

* Mad Enhancement (B Rank): Rank up for all parameters, but takes away most of sanity. Skills requiring a keen mind will be reduced by one rank, and skills that can be learned, such as Magecraft or Projectile (Daggers) will suffer a reduction (-) while this skill is activated. This skill can be deactivated after 4 hours outside of combat, or with a command seal.

#### Personal Skills

* Charisma (E Rank): The natural talent to command an army. Increases the ability of allies during group battles. In his life, Berserker 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. But, due to him being infected with Aragami cells, he is slowly mutated into an Aragami, causing him to develop monstrous hunger. His rank in this Skill drops significantly due to him constantly having to suppress his hunger. This skill is sealed when Mad Enhancement is activated, or when he becomes Corrosive Hannibal.

* 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 (B 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. Berserker was once overwhelmed by his Aragami cells after losing his armlet, causing him to mutate into an Aragami, Corrosive Hannibal. This version of Heroic Spirit Lindow Amamiya is the one who was slowly undergoing the painful process of transforming into an Aragami, Corrosive Hannibal, and the longer Berserker is under the influence of this skill, the more he turns into the fearsome Aragami.

* Self-Modification (C Rank): The aptitude to merge one's own flesh with body parts of others. As someone who slowly mutates into an Aragami, Berserker develops such an unnatural hunger, he is capable of consuming other organisms just like Aragami. The act of devouring allows Berserker to inherit the traits of those he consumes. As an example, he will be able to use powers and techniques used by his opponents by devouring them. The act of devouring also prevents him from being fully mutated into a Corrosive Hannibal.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Corrosive Hannibal; "The Awakening of the Fierce Deity"**

The moment Berserker is summoned, he will undergo a slow and painful mutation into an Aragami. When he can no longer hold back his monstrous hunger or has depleted his willpower, he will succumb to his monstrous urge, transforming him into his Aragami form, Corrosive Hannibal. The moment Berserker turns into Corrosive Hannibal, he will lose his sense of self and becomes nothing but a monster filled with a desire to devour everything around it. The only way to keep it from rampaging is to use a Command Spell. In this form, Berserker will receive a rank-up for all his parameters. There is no way for Berserker to revert back into his human form, unless if one is capable of diving into his consciousness to defeat the inner Aragami within him as well as to provide a way to prevent the mutation to spread all over him. It is also possible to force this transformation via a Command Spell as well.
