Lemy

"*If you died, you would, disappear from this world. I, don't want that. I really, really don't want, you to disappear.*"
―Lemy
**Lemy**, later codenamed **Eighth Sniper**, was the apprentice of Gallerian Clockworker and a former forest spirit of Held. Secretly tasked by Held to watch over Gallerian, Lemy was incarnated as a human and became the sorcerer's disciple. Accompanying Gallerian in his quest to collect the vessels of sin, Lemy became involved in numerous events caused by the sin vessels, later assuming the role of **Master of the Hellish Yard** following the Duel of Merrigod Plateau. He was one of Hänsel's reincarnations.

## History

### Early Life

"*It's possible that I'll someday need you to briefly leave to outside this forest.*"
"*What for?*"
"*There's a human I don't want Gallerian to meet. Should the time come that that human attempts to contact Gallerin, I want you to become his monitor, and watch over him so that person doesn't go near him.*"
―Held and Lemy
Lemy was the soul of Hänsel wavering after death endlessly. Taking pity, Held used his preserved spirit data to make him reincarnate into a forest spirit in Held's Forest, Heldogort. Having lost any memories of his former life and instructed to remain in the forest by the god Held, Lemy became good friends with Clarith as spirits, as well as meeting the sorcerer Gallerian Clockworker.Sometime after the Glassred Event, Lemy caught sight of a ghostly boy near an abandoned house.

In EC 324, Held tasked Lemy with telling the other spirits to strengthen the barrier around the forest to prevent powerful mages, even Gallerian, from entering for a while. As Lemy questioned him on the issue, they listened as Held cryptically told them that he may someday task them with protecting Gallerian from someone. Afterwards, Lemy had all of the spirits strengthen the barrier as commanded, and later lowered it sometime after.

### Incarnation

"*Lemy would be a fine apprentice. That one is very level-headed–should be able to make sure you don't shirk your tasks.*"
"*So I'd be getting a babysitter too, huh?...*"
―Held and Gallerian
In January of EC 499, Lemy and Clarith saw the sleeping Held being attacked by Gallerian and, in chipmunk form, Lemy threw pome fruit at him. After Gallerian quarreled with the two spirits, he departed through the forest. When Clarith went missing some time later, Lemy searched ceaselessly for them until finding the robin two weeks later in a human home, trapped in a cage. Setting their friend free, Lemy watched them talk to an old woman and then slipped out with Clarith back to the Millennium Tree Forest.

There they watched Held lecture Clarith and, when Clarith complained, followed it up with a lecture of their own. Around this time, Held told Lemy his plan to have him monitor the famed sorcerer by acting as Gallerian's human apprentice, helping the sorcerer collect the vessels of sin. Lemy was furthermore instructed to reseal Gallerian's memories if he recalled something he wasn't supposed to. Several days later, Gallerian returned and Held offered both Lemy and Clarith to become his apprentices, although stating they would return to being spirits in three years.

The two spirits followed Gallerian through the forest until they reached the location for the Reincarnation Ritual where they would receive their new human bodies. Instructed to imagine a someone who wasn't alive during the ritual, Lemy picked Hänsel while Clarith picked a typical Netsuma woman; remembering Hänsel as the ghostly boy, the spirit incarnated into a boy with Hänsel's appearance. Once the reincarnation was complete, Held overwrote the saved copy of Lemy's memories into his newly wiped mind.

After confirming Clarith and Lemy's new appearances, Gallerian took them to an abandoned house and, while they lived with him, taught them everything necessary about humanity between magic training; during this time, Lemy learned how to cast plant and water magic. As time progressed, Lemy excelled under Gallerian's tutelage, often helping Clarith with her studies. He also realized that his vision was skewed to be very far-sighted.

A month since their incarnation, Gallerian announced that Lemy would join him at the Lucifenian Royal Palace to continue his magic training the next day, while Clarith searched for a vessel of sin in Elphegort. The next morning, after packing their luggage, Lemy said his farewells to Clarith as he and Gallerian went on their way to Lucifenia. On the way, Lemy ended up admitting his poor eyesight to Gallerian and explained how, since he had become human, he could see incredibly far but was unable to see things close up.

Quickly understanding how Lemy's human body had different vision from his chipmunk one, Gallerian summoned a pair of glasses for him to use; looking through them, Lemy was surprised to see back at his normal close-up range before his new vision left him disoriented. Gallerian then removed his glasses, pointing out that Lemy's far-sightedness was more useful for their search; met with the boy's protests, he eventually conceded that the glasses would help him with his search, but forbid him from wearing them in his presence so as not to ruin his image.

After that, the two traveled to the Kingdom of Lucifenia and Lemy was admitted to the royal palace as Gallerian's apprentice. There, he continued his studies in preparation for learning the Clockwork Secret Art to remove the Demon of Pride from Prince Alexiel. At the same time, Gallerian taught him what he knew about the other vessels of sin such as the Glass of Marlon.

### White Hunting

"*I've decided too. If you're going to remain human, Clarith, then I won't return to being a spirit either.*"
―Lemy
In EC 500, Lemy briefly attended the funeral of Mariam Avadonia with Gallerian. A year and a half since last seeing Clarith, Gallerian gave Lemy a Very Amazing Green Onion to send to her so that they could contact the other girl. With all the other couriers being executed, Lemy awkwardly handed the magic tool off to the servant, Rin, to give Clarith on her trip to Elphegort. Not long after that, Clarith contacted Gallerian and told him that the Venom Sword was in the Freezis Mansion.

Several days later, Gallerian took Lemy and fled after Prince Alexiel ordered the Millennium Tree Forest burned and the Kingdom of Elphegort invaded. Escaping to the Lost Woods as it burned, Lemy helped his master conjure a large rainstorm to douse the flames, sacrificing Gallerian's Ziz Tiama. Resting in the forest, the two were approached by Ney Avadonia, although they only spoke briefly with her before leaving.

Not long after, Gallerian contacted Clarith and listened as she explained her role in their current predicament, Queen Germaine Marlon having fallen in love with her and rejected her engagement with Alexiel as a result. After Clarith denied Gallerian's order to incarnate again as a spirit, wanting to stay and protect her friends, Lemy joined in that he too intended to stay as a human to protect someone, to his master's outrage. After Clarith told them both that she would be hiding in a well in the forest, the two cut contact.

Eluding the Lucifenian army, Lemy and Gallerian went to Keel Freezis' mansion, only to find it burned down and the Venom Sword missing, salvaging some other property instead. After a short rest, they headed to Clarith's hiding spot at the old well in the forest, only to find Clarith dead with Germaine Marlon crying over her corpse. The two managed to retrieve the body and later witnessed it become a tree sapling. Astonished, they visited Held and learned that Clarith was chosen by the earth god to succeed him as the Millennium Tree. After Gallerian argued with him, Lemy told Held his decision to remain human.

### Chasing Demons

"*Keel's children were very cute, but I didn't understand why Gallerian was so surprised upon seeing Mr. Keel's wife.*"
―Lemy's writings on their time with the Freezis Family
During the Lucifenian Revolution, Lemy and Gallerian traveled to the Freezis Mansion in Marlon to explain what had occurred to Keel, and he told the pair to give the sapling to Michaela. Before they left, the two men negotiated with Keel to give them the Venom Sword and a place to hide from Lucifenia in exchange for some of his salvaged property. While there, Lemy met Freezis' children, Yukina, Shaw, and Aile. After hiding out at the mansion for several months, the two returned to Lucifenia once The Son of Evil was executed.

In EC 501, they traveled to the Held Monastery in Elphegort and met with Michaela, explaining the situation with Clarith. Wishing to keep Clarith himself, Lemy used an incantation to summon Clarith's spirit so she could decide who to stay with. After Clarith and Michaela's loving reunion, Lemu begrudgingly gave Michaela the sapling and suggested she plant Clarith in the forest. As they left, he told Michaela that The Son of Evil had been executed. About a week later, the nervous Lemy went back to the convent to check on Michaela and found Alexiel there as well, freed of his possession, and let Gallerian know of his discovery.

The two decided to continue their search for the vessels of sin in the east and stopped by an Asmodean inn to prepare. While writing his report of their progress there, Lemy was interrupted by Gallerian, who had discovered that the Demon of Lust and Demon of Pride were both somehow absent from their vessels. They reluctantly decided to delay their departure east until they had solved this new mystery.

Lemy and Gallerian returned to Lucifenia; as part of their investigation, Gallerian had them pursue Queen Germaine since she had been possessed by the Demon of Lust during their last meeting. With the Queen annexing Lucifenia as part of Marlon, Gallerian and Lemy infiltrated the royal palace where she resided and learned the Demon of Lust was gone and she had since been possessed by the Demon of Pride. Once they found that Germaine owned another one of the hand mirrors for the vessel, they attempted to steal it and were discovered, forced to flee and losing the Venom Sword during their escape.

They were later added to the "Sorcerer Hunt" decreed by Queen Germaine. Suspicious of Germaine'a two consecutive possessions, Gallerian and Lemy traveled to Marlon in EC 502 to investigate her mother, Queen Dowager Prim. While attempting to find Prim at Marlon Castle, they were instead ambushed by the Special Maneuvers Task Force. Lemy fled, alongside a weakened Gallerian.

### Beelzenian Court Mage

"*You, an outsider, hold an important office in the Beelzenian Empire? That's amazing.*"
"*Well, it was from Gallerian's connections.*"
―Yukina and Lemy regarding the latter's prestigious position
Later that year, Lemy answered a summons that the Beelzenian Emperor sent for Gallerian; after he begged him to give him refuge from Marlon, he accepted and he was made into his adviser, living just outside of Rucolebeni. When the former members of the Lucifenian Resistance sought refuge in the Beelzenian Empire, Lemy convinced the emperor to incorporate them into the military; a year later, he did the same with the arrival of Ney Avadonia and Chartette Langley.

In EC 505, Lemy secured Yukina's entry into Beelzenia and sent a summons for her to come to the Imperial City for the Emperor. Anticipating the child would refuse, Lemy set out to meet with Yukina and tracked her to the old Conchita Mansion ruins. After meeting with the girl and reintroducing himself, Lemy stayed with her at a hotel in the north-western region of the empire; the next day, he agreed to help Yukina meet Ney and set out to the garrison of the Langley Troops on foot.

On the way to the garrison, Lemy caught Yukina up on some of what had happened since he saw her last, as well as briefly inquiring about Yukina's own reasons for coming to Beelzenia. Arriving at Rucolebeni's cemetery, the pair met with Chartette who, after haphazard introductions, brought them to the Langley Troops' base. Later, at the group's head quarters, Lemy ceased his silence announced he was going back to attend to something and departed, with Yukina's thanks for her help.

Two weeks later, war broke out between Beelzenia and Marlon as hordes of undead soldiers attacked the Empire's western cities; Lemy met with the Emperor to discuss their plans to counteract the monsters. When the meeting had finished, Lemy learned from Chartette that Kyle Phutapie was somehow responsible for the soldiers, and he investigated the bodies of the undead herself, finding that they were all former victims of the Gula Disease.

A few days after that, Lemy listened to Yukina's testimony on the incident as well and determined that Kyle had indeed reanimated the dead using the Glass of Marlon. After sharing with Yukina all that he had learned, Lemy was called away to consult the Emperor on his prior meeting with Riliane Mouchet and his plans to launch an attack on Retasan Fortress the next day.

### Exorcising the Queen

"*Wh-where are you going to go now?*"
"*I was considering, looking for Kyle. If what he had with him really was the 'Glass of Marlon', I can't let him get away.*"
―Yukina and Lemy
Once Retasan was captured two months later, Lemy resigned and left the Imperial City to search for Kyle and apprehend the Glass. After hiring Ney as his bodyguard, he prepared to leave for Lucifenia only to be approached by Yukina on the day of his departure; after explaining his new plans to Yukina, Lemy tried to leave without her, only for the girl to refuse and tag along anyway. As he, Ney, and Yukina started got in a stage-coach to leave, the girl explained how she could get them into the Lucifenian Royal Palace disguised as her bodyguards.

Agreeing to the plan, Lemy and his compatriots arrived in Rollam, where Germaine was attending a dinner party at Corpa's mansion. After Yukina had met with Germaine and obtained permission for them to visit the royal palace, Lemy and Ney disguised themselves as Yukina's masked Asmodean bodyguards of the Almoga Morabez ethnicity and, the next day, entered with Yukina to have an audience with Germaine. While Germaine and Yukina talked, Lemy and Ney knelt silently with her and were able to avoid removing their masks when Germaine's guard ordered them to.

After the meeting, they accompanied Yukina as she searched the palace on the pretext of looking for new novel ideas. That evening, the three of them were invited to stay at the Lucifenian Royal Palace and they moved into the palace's guest rooms. During their stay, Lemy learned from Yukina that Germaine still kept one of the hand mirrors in his possession and he devised a plan to steal it with Ney. Later that night, as they prepared to execute their plan, they were attacked by the Special Maneuvers Task Force and their room was bombed. Surviving the blast, the two "bodyguards" fled while battling the task force members throughout the palace.

During this time, Lemy retrieved the Venom Sword and secured the mirror from Germaine's room; while Ney acted as a diversion, Lemy took Yukina to Alexiel's old room and the two escaped to the stables via the secret passage in the fireplace. Their escape was suddenly cut off by Queen Germaine, who arrived after them and took the mirror back from Yukina. As the two confronted Germaine on her behavior, Lemy tried to reason with her that she was being misled by the demon, only for Germaine to succumb completely to her demonic possession. After Germaine transformed, she sent Lemy flying as she took off into the night sky with her new wings.

Afterwards, the injured Lemy and Yukina regrouped with Ney and fled. Blamed for the Queen's sudden disappearance. Later on, with Ney's help, they traced Germaine's trajectory to the Millennium Tree Forest. Two weeks since then, Lemy and his companions searched the Millennium Tree forest, with Ney leading them through the Lucifenian portion and Lemy taking them the rest of the way to the old well where Clarith died. Although sensing traces of the demon's magic there, he found that Germaine had already left and there were no further clues inside. As they left, the three passed by Ayn's grave and prayed to it before moving on.

After consulting Held on the approaching fight with Germaine, the demonic queen himself tracked them to the forest; as she attacked Ney, Lemy cast the Clockwork Secret Art on her. Subdued by Clarith’s spell song, the distortion field created by the technique successfully freed Germaine of the Demon's possession and rendered her unconscious. After he sealed her second hand mirror, Lemy learned from Germaine that she had lost her memories, and he was given safe passage to Marlon in order to uncover the mysteries surrounding these events.

### Reuniting with Gallerian

"*It's getting late tonight, and Germaine isn't here. You're probably tired from your trip. We have some guest rooms prepared, so feel free to rest here. We'll have a more in depth conversation about things tomorrow.*"
―Keel to his guests
Later on, Lemy and Ney received invitations from Keel, asking them to join him for a future dinner party he'd host in Marlon and return via the ship he sent to them. Accepting his offer, the two accompanied Kyle, Admiral Dylan, Yukina, Shaw, and his entourage on their voyage to Marlon on the Queen's flagship, the Royal Victoricia. During the journey, Lemy became reacquainted with Shaw and made him his underling. When a giant ziz tiama attacked the ship the next day, Lemy argued with the gunner to have him modify the cannons to be able to harm the monster; denied access, spoke directly with Dylan over the matter.

After finally being granted access to the cannons, and having arranged for Shaw's help beforehand, Lemy had the boy and his entourage aid him in adding magical enhancements to the cannons. Once they were finished, he had the gunmen shoot the octopus' weak spot, its forehead. Although the cannons broke down from the backlash, the ship was nonetheless able to escape the incapacitated octopus. As Germaine congratulated Lemy, he grimly told him about how Gallerian had received a ziz tiama once while in Lucifenia and that, although this was a different octopus, only Gallerian had the power to control and grow such a creature.

After they arrived at Jamet, Lemy and the others took a carriage to the Freezis Mansion, splitting off with Germaine. After Keel formally received Lemy and Ney, they accompanied him to the dinner table to chat while the Freezis children reunited with their family. Later, dinner was served and Lemy ate with Ney and the others. When they were finished, Keel recommended they stay the night in the guest rooms and share their story tomorrow; Lemy watched the drunk Ney start to horrify Keel and Mikina about their dangerous voyage before they all quickly retired for the night.

As everyone headed for bed, Lemy left the mansion and headed north into Column Forest and performed magic rituals in preparation for an oncoming battle. He since stayed with the Freezises in Bariti; once Gallerian seemed to arrive unexpectedly, Lemy suggested they talk in private and brought him to the forest. There the unknown mage attacked and nearly overwhelmed Lemy before Yukina and Ney arrived to joined the fight.

As the battle turned in their favor, the unknown mage tried to take Lemy's body for herself, only for Gallerian to fight back at the last moment. Lemy quickly assured the still fighting Ney that Gallerian was fine, and Ney carried him back to the Freezis Mansion.

### Battle of Castle Hedgehog

"*But, there is some worth to trying. If Kyle is, the one who killed Clarith, then I want to hear that, from his own lips. And, if it's possible... I want him to apologize.*"
―Lemy
Later on, Queen Germaine visited with Gallerian in the Freezis mansion while he was in Lemy's company. Lemy listened as Gallerian filled the queen in, and when Germaine in turn explained the undead soldiers sighted in the north and Prim and Kyle likely being at Castle Hedgehog. As Germaine failed to recruit Gallerian's help with her planned attack on them, Lemy offered to lend his power to the weapons of her soldiers and was subsequently embarrassed by Germaine's thanks and apology for their past history. He shortly after convinced Gallerian to help as well due to the involvement of the Glass of Marlon, as well as the unsolved mystery with the Venom Sword and the mirrors.

After their meeting with Germaine concluded, Lemy and Gallerian spent the next few days engraving enchantments into all the soldiers' weapons to help them combat the supernatural threat. They then traveled with the army to Lioness and helped oversee the supplying of more weapons to the troops in the main square. During the battle across the Blood Pool region, the sorcerers remained at Lioness Castle to avoid the undead soldiers while in their weakened state.

Following the battle, Lemy met with Germaine, Keel, Yukina, Ney, and Gallerian in one of the castle's bedrooms while Germaine explained what had transpired with Queen Dowager Prim and Kyle, Kyle having been brought back bound, unconscious, and without his weapons. After Germaine presented the red glass, hand mirrors, and Clockworker's Doll, Lemy took out his own two hand mirrors and the Venom Sword once prompted, laying them beside the other vessels. During the discussion, he helped convinced Gallerian to heal Kyle's psyche with magic, wanting closure on him being Clarith's murderer.

Afterwards, Lemy and Gallerian prepared to return to Bariti, Lemy collecting the vessels. They, like everyone else, were interrupted by a sound outside the room; after Keel left to check it out, everyone in the room was rendered unconscious by a blue flash. They soon awoke to find the vessels of sin missing, Keel seriously injured, and Kyle dead. Over the course of two weeks, Lemy and Ney assisted Gallerian in their search for their attacker, Gallerian deducing that the unknown mage was actually the red cat he always had with him and that he had taken possession of the missing Mikina to steal the vessels of sin.

### Searching East and West

Once he determined Lucifenia was the mage's most likely destination, Gallerian sent Lemy to search for her in Levianta just in case, while Ney searched Lucifenia and he continued searching Marlon. Lemy then engraved a mark into Ney's sword to help her locate the mage's true form once she found her before leaving for Holy Levianta. After Ney successfully defeated the unknown mage and freed Mikina, Lemy and Gallerian collected and sealed the Glass of Marlon and Marlon Spoon in her possession.

In EC 508, Lemy and Gallerian became involved in the Four Horsemen Incident caused by Neo Apocalypse and the unknown mage, losing possession of the Glass of Marlon to the villainous sorceress. After the gun was invented, Lemy discovered a means to infuse magic into bullets to great effect. In EC 548, Gallerian and Lemy traveled through the Eastern region in pursuit of the Twin Blades of Levianta.

In EC 549, they came upon a large wall and watchman blocking their path, the watchman having been ordered by his king to let none but his own people through the gates. Unable to pass through, Gallerian and Lemy repeatedly tried to disguise themselves as the guard's race, coloring their hair and then skin. As the guard refused for a third time, Lemy ducked for cover once Gallerian snapped and blew the watchman away with a powerful wind. As they finally passed through the gates, they saw no great city beyond them and, perplexed, continued their journey. Reaching the ocean, they took a small boat across the sea to Jakoku.

Finding the entire nation in the throws of civil war, the sorcerer duo allied with the Tokugawa faction in their struggle against the Hatsune faction, learning that the red cat mage served Princess Jahime Hatsune. Reunited with Chartette Langley and meeting Gaou Octo, the sorcerers faced the unknown mage and her Crimson Robed Masses in many battles until finally defeating the Hatsune faction in the Battle of Jagahara later that year.

Afterward, Lemy and Gallerian continued searching for the Twin Blades of Levianta in the reunited nation before finally giving up and leaving Jakoku in EC 558. Some time after they returned to Evillious, the duo learned Michael and her monastic order, the Sisters of Michaela, erected an examinations system to protect the new Millennium Tree, and were given permits to freely visit it.

### Playing Heiden

During the late sixth century EC, Gallerian decided they should disappear from the public eye; with Shaw Freezis' help, the men took the identities of his deceased great grandsons, Hans and Heiden Lorre. Assuming the identity of Heiden, Lemy became an officer of the World Police's International Works Department in Marlon while Gallerian became a newspaper reporter in Elphegort. Afterward, Lemy became involved in numerous investigations over the years while pursuing leads on the unknown mage and the vessels of sin, often reckless and irresponsible in his duties.

During this time, a fellow investigator, Willus Zorach, taught him how to construct a unique revolver which he modified with the ability to use both regular lead and magic bullets. After the Lioness Burning Incident allegedly perpetrated by "Gallerian Clockworker" in EC 597, the sorcerer duo were forced to stick with their false identities to avoid police pursuit. In EC 606, Heiden was made part of the investigation into the Père Noël assassin Fifth Pierrot; during the investigation, he became acquainted with Rolled Constable Ayn Anchor.

Heiden also became an avid fan of the diva Gumi Chan after her debut at Milanais Theater, often skipping work to attend her concerts. A year later, Willus shot and killed Fifth Pierrot, ending the case. Sometime after Ayn was stationed in Toragay, he confessed his feelings of love to Heiden and he dated him for a week before flatly telling him that he had no feelings for him. They ended the relationship, while agreeing to stay in touch.

After Aceid's Deputy Mayor Banner was attacked on August 15, EC 609, Heiden was assigned to the case and investigated the crime, for which Père Noël's leader First Santa Claus had taken credit. While there, he attended Gumi Chan's concerts on September 1 and September 10. During the latter half of that month, he allowed a Schuburg Newspaper reporter to interview him regarding Gumi Chan's lip-syncing claims and he adamantly defended the idol.

### Toragay Epidemic

"*I wouldn't say, there was no connection, at all.*"
"*Oh? Then tell me, Investigator Heiden Lorre. You were pursing the criminal of the Gumi Chan kidnapping case—what relevance does that have to the owner of an inn!?*"
―Heiden and Hob Homer
On October 6, Heiden learned Gumi Chan's manager Ton Corpa was murdered and the diva abducted allegedly by Fifth Pierrot earlier that morning; after zealously investigating Fifth Pierrot's whereabouts, he followed a lead that Fifth Pierrot and Gumi Chan had taken a carriage to the Toragay inn and traveled to town. Breaking into the inn, he raided the building to find Gumi Chan and, instead, ran into "Hans," in Toragay to conduct an interview. After talking with his "brother," Heiden confirmed from the innkeeper, Brigitta, that the inn wasn't actually connected to the crime.

He was shortly after summoned to Marlon headquarters by Chief Hob Homer on October 15. As Heiden tried to defend his actions to the furious Hob, he was surprised to learn that the police had already determined that Fifth Pierrot and Gumi Chan had been dropped off at the Kihel checkpoint after passing through Toragay. He placidly protested as Hob took him off the investigation in light of the trouble he had caused and his previous misconduct, including his unauthorized interview regarding Gumi Chan. Agreeing to go visit Hans on his time off, Heiden left after refusing to let Hob confiscate his gun.

Arriving in Toragay two days later, Heiden went to the inn to apologize for his earlier behavior and found Ayn helping construction workers make repairs to the building, greeting him. The two later began talking about their respective reasons for being in town; Heiden learned that Hans had gone to consult Dr. Puerick Rogzé on an issue, while the innkeeper was also out at the moment. Ayn also explained how he and Hans were in Toragay investigating the death of Marchioness Margarita Blankenheim, Hans suspecting Margarita's husband Kasper was involved in her death and his own father's illness.

Heiden further listened as Ayn explained how he was discreetly investigating the Père Noël black market, having determined Margarita Blankenheim was the previous head dealer and that the black market had been moved north of Toragay after her death. The two caught sight of a commotion and they followed it to the Charity Institute, where they witnessed the director, Rita Flohn, screaming for help with the comatose children. After Ayn examined the children, Heiden learned they had the same symptoms as Dr. Felix and the Marchioness.

As Ayn resolved to fetch a doctor from Aceid, Heiden prepared to watch the children only to witness them, and Rita, pass away from their illness. Afterwards, he borrowed Ayn's map of Elphegort marking Calgaround as the new black market's suspected location. Later that day, Heiden was summoned to the Freezis Foundation's headquarters in Marlon to see Shaw Freezis, who had just passed away. Along with Hans, Heiden met up with Shaw's chief aide, Bruno Marlon, who led him and Hans to see Shaw's lifeless body; approaching his coffin, Heiden silently mourned his dead friend.

### Lemy Once More

"*Now that Shaw Freezis has died, it'll be difficult for us to leverage any more influence with the foundation. And with the way things have turned out now... there's no point in hiding who we are.*"
―Gallerian to Lemy
Once the two were done mourning, Heiden and Hans witnessed Bruno reveal, holding them at gunpoint, that he would use his authority as the Foundation's "Bruno" to have the World Police arrest them, Hans for being "Gallerian Clockworker" and Heiden as a suspect in the deaths at the Charity Institute. Although trying to resist, Hans convinced Heiden to let the members of the Interrogation Execution Department restrain them and take his gun, taking the men away not long after.

While imprisoned in the World Police headquarters' prison, Heiden explained to Hana the situation at the Charity Institute and the two men discussed the possibility Kasper was responsible for that as well. Afterwards, Hans declared to Heiden that it was meaningless now to pretend to be Shaw's great-grandchildren, and the two prepared to escape their cells using their magic. Before they did, however, Ayn and Hob arrived to free them from their cells. Once freed, Lemy was touched when Hob returned his gun to him and explained how he couldn't allow Bruno to abuse justice like this, both men knowing that the men were innocent.

Not long after, Heiden and Hans learned that Toragay had become quarantined due to its "mysterious epidemic"; at Hans's signal, Lemy knocked Hob out and Hans likewise knocked out Ayn so the two wouldn't be complicit in their escape. So freed, the men returned to Aceid and shed their disguises, putting back on their sorcerer robes. Officially returning to their identities as Gallerian Clockworker and Lemy, the sorcerers departed to the local hospital where Dr. Felix was being treated.

After arriving at the hospital, the duo learned that Kasper was no longer visiting his father and had headed out to meet with his "mother." Lemy quickly surmised that they needed to go to the black market in Calgaround next, and their conversation was interrupted by Dr. Felix waking from his coma. Lemy watched Gallerian attempt to question the doctor, only for him to babble about a doll, have a convulsing fit, and die. Gallerian returned to Lemy and revealed that Kasper resembled Adam and the Clockworker's Doll, among others.

Gallerian further brought up his belief that Kasper had contracted with a Demon of Sin to make her poison, and that they could stop the epidemic by killing him. The two left for Calgaround; encountering Toragay's coachman trying to get through a World Police blockade, Lemy and Gallerian intervened and the officers were blown away. They then fled from the police in the coachman's carriage, Galleeian convincing him to take them through a shortcut to Calgaround.

### Saving Toragay

"*If you, are the 'Red Cat Sorceress' apprentice, then your opponent, can be me, an apprentice as well.*"
―Lemy challenging Fourth Shadow
Arriving at the mayor's mansion in the rain, Lemy followed Gallerian inside when they were greeted by the alleged Mayor "Julia Abelard". As Gallerian confronted the mayor, the two learned that Kaspee was on the second floor; they also learned of Père Noël's involvement in the incident, with Julia being the leader, "First Santa Claus," while Margarita and Kasper were "Second Dealer" and "Third Sleep Prince" respectively. Kasper had created several versions of Gift with which he killed Margarita, Marx, and now all of Toragay. After their opponent taunted Gallerian, Lemy also learned Fifth Pierrot had been in the mansion and that Gumi Chan was currently in the basement.

After bantering further, Lemy and Gallerian learned that Julia had covered the mansion in Inscription Marks that suppressed their nature spells and spell songs. As Julia tried to burn Gallerian with fire, Lemy used a water spell to douse it and then pointed out to Gallerian how Julia's red cat was missing. Found out, "Julia" revealed she was actually the Père Noël second-in-command, Fourth Shadow, and also the one who had manipulated Kasper. Lemy then dueled Mayrana herself with his gun; as Shadow dodged his attacks, she cast the Clockwork Secret Art to slow him down and sent his opponent into a panic.

When Shadow tried to escape outside, Lemy manipulated the greeonian plateau roses to ensnare and kill Shadow once and for all. Lemy and Gallerian then quickly found and confronted Kasper upstairs; as Gallerian failed to make Kasper see reason, Lemy watched the man commit suicide and reminded her of Gumi Chan. After finding the girl staying of her own free will in the basement, Lemy was horribly shocked when Gumi Chan happened to admit that the lip-syncing allegations had been true after all.

Nonetheless, the three prepared to go to Aceid before the Père Noël assassin, Sixth Venom stabbed Gallerian in the back and escaped. Horrified, Lemy and Gumi rushed the wounded Galleeian to Aceid, where he was admitted to a hospital and treated. While Gallerian recovered, Lemy went back to retrieve the Clockworker's Doll and found it missing, along with Mayrana's corpse. He began investigating Père Noël and confirmed that the true Julia Abelard was a Lucifenian aristocrat.

Once Gallerian recovered enough from the hospital, Lemy met with his master in the desolated streets of Toragay on November 15, reporting everything that he had learned. While planning to look into Père Noël in Lucifenia, the two were interrupted by the coachman, who noted that a lot of townspeople were still missing. Hearing faint voices in the distance, Lemy pinpointed the noise as coming from the Blankenheim Mansion and the three went inside.

Following the voices to the basement, the group discovered the missing townspeople alive in the cellar, learning that Egmont used a nutritional drug made from Millennium Tree sap to counteract the "epidemic's" effects. Egmont then told them about the animal paths used to bypass the Sisters of Michaela's church to reach the sacred tree. Gallerian and Lemy contacted Dr. Puerick Rogzé to examine the substance for a potential cure to the Sixth Gift and reached the new Millennium Tree themselves. While there, Lemy watched while Galleeian met with Dr. Rogzé and discussed the possibility of creating a cure from the tree sap.

After Puerick left, Lemy listened to Gallerian surmise that Père Noël's plan had been to unleash the epidemic upon the masses and monopolize sale of the remedy. He then stood by as Gallerian finally talked with Clarith, debating letting Puerick use her sap and discussing their recent progress with collecting the vessels of sin. During this, Lemy caught sight of Kasper Blankenheim standing nearby and shocked, and watched as Galleeian left after him shortly after. When Gallerian finally returned alone, he hypnotized Lemy into forgetting what he had just seen and the two sorcerers set off for Lucifenia.

### Père Noël

"*Hey, Miss Santa. If possible, I'd like for him to be made a member of Père Noël—of Sept, if you could. You know of his strength quite well, yes?*"
―Gallerian regarding Lemy
During their investigation of Père Noël in Lucifenia, Gallerian's legs stopped functioning and Lemy helped push him around in a wheelchair. After discovering Isabel Ismael possessed the Venom Sword, the sorcerer duo confirmed the Rolled prostitute's true identity as Yuzette Ora and "Seventh Magician", determining she was the intended target of Fifth Pierrot's recent prostitute killings. They thus took over ownership of Yuzette's residential brothel; once Fifth Pierrot murdered Yuzette on February 11 of EC 610, Gallerian arranged for her to bring First Santa Claus, the real Julia, to meet with them later.

During their meeting on February 13, Lemy posed as Gallerian's hypnotized servant to convince Julia and Pierrot, really Renin Abelard, that Gallerian was Third Sleep Prince in Gallerian's body. Afterwards, he was recruited into Père Noël's Sept as "Eighth Sniper" while Gallerian joined as the new "Seventh Magician". Afterward, the sorcerers continued to act as loyal members of Père Noël, while planting evidence of Yuzette's true identity and crimes for the World Police to trace back to Bruno and Julia.

After Bruno was arrested on suspicion of being the fugitive Kaidor Blankenheim and President Julia fell under suspicion, the two plotted to flee Rolled on September 3. Lemy also helped wheel Gallerian to a meeting with Renin, where his master offered for the young girl to escape with them. After they left, the two sensed that Renin had betrayed them to Père Noël and escaped the city.

The two later returned to Rolled when Fifth Pierrot's serial murders began again, Renin killing anyone who opposed her mother. Intending to use Ayn, who was investigating the murders, to lure out Fifth Pierrot, Lemy sent Ayn a message on December 25 telling him to meet "Heiden" before the Abelard Mansion at 2:00 AM the next morning. Staking out the meeting place, the two saw Fifth Pierrot confront and attack Ayn in a nearby alleyway; as Renin prepared to stab Ayn, Lemy shot the assassin in the chest and seemingly killed her.

Later on, the two received a letter addressed to Gallerian from Julia, challenging him to a duel at Merrigod Plateau and revealing she was his brother-in-law, Irina Clockworker. Days after the World Police mounted a search for Julia and Lieutenant General Gatt Coulomb, Lemy accompanied his master to the Abelard estate and they found that all of Irina's vessels of sin were missing. They then headed towards Merrigod Plateau to answer Irina's challenge and defeat her once and for all.

### Duel of Merrigod Plateau

"*It'd be irresponsible to want to end this at a stalemate. Lemy's literally holding the golden key.*"
―The Demon of Wrath
The next day, Lemy joined Gallerian in traveling to Merrigod Plateau on the coachman's carriage; during the ride, he broke free of Gallerian's weakening hypnosis and recalled his master meeting Kasper, determining he had subsequently absorbed Adam's soul. Speaking with Gallerian during the ride, he learned of how "Irina Clockworker" was the girl who was supposed to become Gallerian's sister-in-law and the true identity of the red cat mage, determining he'd figured this out after absorbing Adam's soul.

They were then stopped when Gatt Coulomb attacked the carriage, killing the horse. Confronting him, Lemy watched as Gallerian eventually defeated Sixth Venom with Adam's lightning magic. Leaving the charred but unconscious man for the authorities, they took the golden key that he wielded and continued to Calgaround on foot, Lemy tasked with holding onto Grim the End as he wheeled Gallerian up the hill. The two talked about the battle they had ahead of them before reaching the city.

Failing to find Irina there, they headed instead to Apocalypse Cliff, where the tomb of Meta Salmhofer was. In the early morning of January 30, they found Julia in the tomb before Meta's grave and the two sorcerers entered into battle with their nemesis. The fight was later interrupted by Renin Abelard's entrance. Shocked to see her alive, Lemy listened to Irina's explanation that she was contracted to the Demon of Gluttony and that contractors were unable to be killed unless through the power of another contractor.

Not long after, the four of them engaged in another duel, Gallerian fighting Julia and Lemy fighting Renin; each time Lemy shot Renin, whether with lead or magic bullets, she would quickly heal from her injuries and get back up to relentlessly attack him. Over the next two hours they all continued their assault, Lemy finding he couldn't kill Renin no matter what method she tried. As he despaired over his situation, Lemy heard a voice in his mind and eventually realized that the voice was the Demon of Wrath.

As he continued to try ignoring the demon, he taunted his hopeless situation and offered to make him a temporary contract so that he could kill Renin using Grim the End. Despite his persistent protests, Lemy finally agreed to his offer and made a contract with him. Transforming Grim the End into a golden bullet, he swiftly loaded it into his gun and, with it, he killed Renin once and for all.

As Julia cradled her dead daughter and sobbed, she learned that the demon had once been the human called Pale Noël. He and Gallerian then easily defeated Irina, Lemy watching his master and Irina argue briefly over it. As he watched, Irina released her hold on her human body and approached as a red cat; she revealed that Pale Noël had installed "Black Box Type S" in the body's heart, shortly it activated and the cat exploded. Enveloped in the dust and smoke, Lemy resisted the blast, until he lost consciousness.

### Straight to Hell

"*What is this place?*"
"*…Ah, a new arrival. This place is the Hellish Yard. Where the dead assemble.*"
―Lemy and Kaidor[src]
Lemy regained consciousness in Behemo's inner psychological world, finding herself in what looked like a Leviantan temple. Ascending to the top, he found Irina in her true human form, standing front of the Sin ark. The two were soon joined by Levia, Adam Moonlit, and finally Behemo. As Lemy asked where Gallerian was, Irina revealed that after the Levianta Catastrophe, Gallerian was cursed by her revived self and the gods. Lemy approached the twin gods, learning that Behemo was responsible for the curse, and followed him as he approached the Sin Ark. As Behemo confirmed that they were all inside of his inner psychological world, Lemy glimpsed a reflection of his spirit self in the Sin ark.

Lemy listened as Behemo and Irina discussed how the latter had realized the truth about Gallerian Clockworker; when Behemo surmised the true reason that Lemy had been sent as his apprentice, Lemy broke down crying and admitted that he knew about the curse, and was told to watch over him so no harm came to him. Afterward, he watched Irina and Behemo talk further and learned of how Irina intended to continue their duel here. Next, Irina revealed that she had experimented on the Clockworker's Doll so that now Adam's very different incarnation was able to be awakened as the "Master of the Court".

After Adam summoned the Court around them, Irina explained that the realm made it possible to even kill gods; once she'd challenged Behemo and Levia to duel, Irina fell into an argument with Behemo and Lemy about her reasons for doing so before silencing them. The duel was, suddenly, again interrupted by the Demon of Gluttony, who also joined the duel. After the demon Carlos clashed his Worldeater with Behemo and Irina's magic, the blast blew Lemy out of the Court and into the Hellish Yard.

Coming to in his new surroundings, Lemy approached the dead Kaidor Blankenheim, unrecognizable to him in his new appearance, and he explained to him how he was in hell with the entrance to heaven close by. Although Kaidor personally wasn't ready to enter the Heavenly Yard, he explained that everyone was allowed to go with there being no Master of the Hellish Yard to judge the dead. Directed to check the door to heaven with newcomers, Lemy took his leave.

Near the door, he spotted Levia as well as Pale, in his true form as a living mask; from him, she learned that the impact had simply blown them all to the Hellish Yard despite all of them still being alive. From Pale, Lemy learned he had been affected due to the hole that the Demon of Gluttony created to enter the mental world, with Pale noting that the other occupant of the Golden key had also been blasted somewhere else.

With Behemo, Irina, Adam, and the Demon of Gluttony nowhere in sight, Lemy tried to follow Levia into the Heavenly Yard to ask Held for help, only to be barred entry due to being a still-living mortal. As he questioned Levia for help, Lemy learned that Behemo was the former Master of the Hellish Yard, and that he and Levia originally intended to destroy the Third Period. As Levia departed, she made a passing remark that there was a miasma in hell that would eat away at his soul.

### Judge of the Dead

Left alone with Pale, the two eventually worked out a deal that Lemy would wear him on his face and they would work together to research and stop the miasma. From there, Lemy put on the mask and looked for research materials as prompted. In the intervening years, he took up the role of Master of the Hellish Yard and took over the defunct underworld, fixing things up so that the souls of the dead would be sorted into Heaven and Hell based on their sins. Lemy from then on began managing the realm, standing before the gates to the Heavenly Yard to stop demon contractors from reaching paradise and to judge souls for their sins. At some point, Lemy's physical body rotted away.

After the soul of Giyara accidentally ended up in the Hellish Yard, the Master allowed him a wish to compensate for the inconvenience; eventually, the aged monk wished for Kayo to regain her memories. Peering into the Third Period, he determined Kayo's identity and granted the wish. During this, he noticed that Rin Avadonia, who was meant to be confined in Black Box, was nonetheless reincarnated into the ground world due to Levia's interference, conversing with Pale over the matter. When Pale asked him to test his newly-completed Neo Black Box, Lemy refused.

The Master later learned that Irina's curse had been separated from the void entity left of Gallerian and forcibly passed into Michelle Octo; unable to leave the Hellish Yard, he sent Pale within Grim the End to protect Michelle instead. Then he, along with Clarith, watched over his master's now cursed daughter as she grew up.

### World's End

In EC 999, Michelle destroyed the Third Period and it subsequently merged with the Hellish Yard; as Lemy discovered that all of the sin contractors had escaped to the ground world, he left the Hellish Yard and met with Sickle and Clarith, the three deciding to reduce the influence of the Second Period in order to allow humanity to decide the ruined world's fate. Having learned of Sickle's plans, Lemy was tasked with rounding up the contractors and dragging them back into hell after Rin met with them.

The Master of the Hellish Yard eventually brought Gumina Glassred, Elluka Marlon and Gakuga Octo back to hell. Not long after, Clarith met with Lemy and discussed the revelation that Michelle's body was still alive due to her being a contractor but that her cursed mind had been separated from her. With Behemo living a delusion of being in the former Second Period, Michelle's body had been mindlessly trying to reenact the destruction of the world, and would end up destroying every soul on it if not stopped. As such, hoping to see Michelle again, Lemy accompanied Clarith and Rin to go find Behemo. After Rin freed Behemo from his delusion and his mind rejoined Michelle, Lemy met him along with Rin, Clarith, and Pale in the ruined world.

Once Rin had explained the situation to her, Michelle approached Lemy and he explained how he had used Pale to protect her, before quarreling with Pale over how he did it by just keeping her soulless body alive. He then watched as Clarith laughed over how Lemy and Michelle were like inseperable family, and listened when Rin explained that they should go to Evil's Theater next. With Clarith, Rin, Michelle, and Pale, the Master of the Hellish Yard set out to save the world.

### Final Duties

Parting ways with Rin, Michelle, and Clarith, Lemy returned to gathering up the contractors, this time to protect them from Bruno Octo and the "Sleep Princess" Nemesis Marlon. He later tracked down Prim in Marlon, and, the woman supposedly having contracted with Adam, he paused her time and took her along. After finding Alexiel with Clarith, he introduced himself as Master of the Hellish Yard and pulled the boy down into the ground as well. As they went, Lemy let Alexiel down in accordance with his protests and the two talked before arriving in the underworld.

There they met with the other compatible contractors, namely Gakuga, Elluka and Gumina. As Lemy prepared to leave, putting Gakuga in charge, Elluka stopped him and questioned him about why he was gathering up the sin contractors. Immediately after, Elluka summoned Nemesis and a confrontation broke out among the contractors. When Elluka and Nemesis were forced to flee, their departure blew all the contractors away and Lemy, along with Pale, was forced to started over.

He then mended the barrier between the Hellish Yard and the Third Period. As Lemy tracked Prim down to Asmodean and captured her again, he noticed the dark clouds resulting from Alexiel and Rin's reunion in the western sky, deciding to travel to Evil's Theater through the ground to stop it.

During Rin and Michelle's confrontation with Gallerian, Lemy contacted Rin through a green onion. When Gallerian is calmed down enough, he reunites with Lemy, who promises to never leave him again.

## Personality and Traits

Lemy was a stoic but temperamental boy. Seeing things from a stark black-and-white perspective, he was serious, blunt, mature, and largely responsible; this bluntness accompanied a perfect sincerity on his part when stating his feelings. Being naturally loyal and obedient to his superiors, Lemy was also very stern and would often lecture others for breaking rules, not treating him with respect, or not meeting his expectations. He similarly took his job as Master of the Hellish Yard very seriously, speaking archaically and stringently enforcing the rules of the yard; he would be lax on them, however, depending on the situation.

Because of this and his nature as a spirit, Lemy had trouble expressing himself and could appear emotionless. This was demonstrated how he, even more than Clarith, was slow to take to living in human society; he was at first unable to even smile properly and never cried save for very rare cases. He commonly spoke haltingly and left awkward pauses in conversation, lacking social awareness and oblivious to sarcasm. However, Lemy’s social disabilities did make mild improvements over time. Similarly, he slowly took to some aspects of human life, such as becoming an ardent fan of Gumi Chan's music, although he never showed interest in activities like dating.

Despite this emotionless exterior, Lemy’s authoritative nature made him impatient and he could act very impulsively in the course of his duties or to protect his friends. He would become irrational, sometimes violent, as a result, with complete disregard to the consequences of his actions. His rash temperament resulted in some mild hypocrisy, believing violence was wrong while often employing it in response to even minor annoyances. Despite these emotional lapses, he usually maintained his calm and low-key demeanor, often making him difficult to read for others.

## Skills and Abilities

"*He really is a smart boy.*"
―Gallerian regarding Lemy’s impressive progress
As a forest spirit, Lemy was an ageless immortal, primarily existing in an incorporeal form. While in his spiritual form, he could fly and heal from any wound almost instantly while in Held's Forest. He could also transform into the form of a chipmunk to interact with the physical world while in the forest, though also able to be injured or killed. While in his spiritual form, the spirit couldn't be perceived by non-magically trained beings. Similarly, only magically trained beings could communicate with him in either form.

After incarnating as a human, Lemy retained his eternal youth as the form of Hänsel. He was also unnaturally far-sighted, although unable to clearly see anything within his immediate vicinity and supplementing his vision with glasses. Although having difficulty emoting as a human, he was a quick study and learned much about human society in the span of a month.

Due to his nature as a forest spirit, Lemy possessed incredible magic power; being a quick study nature, he quickly excelled as a sorcerer. Among his talents, he was able to predict the weather, cast water spells, enact the Clockwork Secret Art, and sing spell songs. He also had a particular talent for propagating and manipulating plant life, even for combat use; his power also increased when in forest environments due to him previously being a spirit. He was similarly proficient in a variety of inscription marks and crafting magic tools, evidenced by his creation of his magic-bullet using Fireworks Gun. Hw also became proficient in using a revolver and supplemented his spells with his firearm.

As Master of the Hellish Yard, Lemy possessed the ability to open portals via a hand gesture, as well as peer into the Third Period. Because he wore Pale, a mask with a will, he was also able to see in the dark and read minds. Independent of his magical power, the Master of the Hellish Yard was very knowledgeable about the different realms and held authority over hell, allowing him to manage and discipline the underworld as he saw fit as well as repair its long abandoned machinery for his use.

## Character Connections

Held: Lemy's creator. Lemy respected Held greatly and often occasionally carry out his commands among the other spirits, as well as respecting them himself, no matter how puzzling. He also was fiercely protective of the god whenever he was threatened. Despite this, he decided it was best to leave Held behind to remain human, although Lemy still looked to him for guidance and aid in his future endeavors.

Gallerian Chirclatia: Lemy's mentor. Although originally joining him under false pretenses and incensed at a lot of Gallerian's lackadaisical behavior, Lemy became completely loyal to his mentor over hundreds of years of being by her side. Unable to fulfill his role of sealing Behemo away in the end, he stayed devoted to him and saw Gallerian like a father.

Clarith: A fellow forest spirit and friend. Lemy and Clarith were very close, with Lemy taking a very protective role towards Clarith whenever the latter was upset or in danger. Lemy continued to look after him while in Lucifenia, sending the Green Onion with Rin so they could communicate; after her death, Lemy jealously guarded her remains and became anxious when no longer able to care for her.

Pale Noël: Lemy's collaborator. Forging a contract with him out of necessity, Lemy was eventually forced to work with Pale while trapped inside the Hellish Yard, having a vitriolic partnership with him. After assuming his role as hell's master, Lemy began wearing the mask as an article of her outfit, utilizing Pale's powers to better serve his duties. Despite their long partnership, Lemy was no better at understanding him than anyone else.

Irina Clockworker: Lemy's enemy and later superior. While also warned about Irina by Held, Lemy saw her as an enemy of Gallerian and opposed her accordingly, although not always aware of her true identity under the sorceress's aliases. While joining Père Noël under her command, Lemy was especially careful in following Irina's orders in order to deceive her, but remained disloyal to her.

Elluka Marlon: One of the Master of the Hellish Yard's charges. Sending Elluka to Hell as a result of her corruption, the Master was disdainful of Elluka's court tactics and greed. As an extension of this, he was disgusted by her one-track mind that pursued corrupted justice even after her death, trying to collect the sins even when it didn't matter anymore. Due to this he was quick to send him to Hell whenever given the chance, pronouncing his own judgment of her sins.

Gakuga Octo: One of the Master of the Hellish Yard's charges. Due to Gakuga acting very similarly to Gallerian, the Master felt sympathetic towards him, not sending him to hell but instead deciding to keep him around to tailor his clothes.

Michaela: The one whom Lemy trusted Clarith's remains with. Lemy was resentful of Michaela for being the one chosen to take care of Clarith, although grudgingly appreciated the love that Clarith and Michaela shared. She allowed the former to take the latter's remains, but still felt uneasy about doing so, this uneasiness only subsiding after some time.

Yukina Freezis: Lemy's travel companion. Lemy saw Yukina as a cute child and tagged along as her playmate when staying in the Freezis Mansion. As an extension of this friendship, he later aided the girl in her travels through Beelzenia, although he was exasperated by Yukina's inattention to proper honorifics and would act without thinking of how it would affect the girl, such as leaving without any prior notice.

Ney Avadonia: Lemy's employee. Lemy appreciated Ney's skill in swordsmanship, his reason for hiring her, and she was a trusted bodyguard over the course of this employment.

Hänsel Twiright: The inspiration for Lemy's human body and first incarnation. After observing Hänsel's ghost, Lemy felt sorry for him and took his form, only learning about their connection after becoming the Master od the Hellish Yard.
