Crystal Curator

The Crystal Curator is one of the high rank Lancers in custody of the Crystal Heart.

The Lancer Council appoints a new Curator among their ranks every decade, bestowing them with the responsibility of monitoring the Crystal Heart and the Inner Sanctum within, where they keep track of the Crystal bank. More importantly, they also ensure the functioning of the machine powered by the Sacred Disk, guarding it from any potential harm or interruption.

The Curators are bound to the Crystal Heart for the duration of their mandate, which means they rarely get to leave the premises except for when they have important matters calling them to the Lancer Temple. This allows them plenty of time to meditate and improve their powers, as well as strengthen their attunement to the Crystals.

   When the Cultists attacked Valc, the Curator stayed within the Heart, sensing Nithriel's arrival and her vile intentions. When confronted face to face by her, she calls her by her race, referring to her as "Elf". She then warns her that taking the Disk would spell her doom, which suggests that Lancers were aware that not all the Elves had gone extinct, with one of them eventually turning up to claim her precursors' artifact and use it for something potentially dangerous.

"*Begone, Elf! The Disk won't bring you anything but doom."*

Although Zan and her followers reach the Sanctum in time to aid her, Nithriel uses her Pit Lord Alpha to buy enough time to break through the Curator's barrier. She is defeated by the Elf, but manages to survive, being barely able to follow the Halfblood through the closing portal.

The portal spits her out just outside the entrance to the Cult Town, although the battle in the Sanctum has let her too exhausted to keep going. If Zan doesn't kill her to take her magic dispelling scroll, she can hand her a mana potion to help her recover, and the two team up to follow Nithriel though the town. The Curator imparts her knowledge of the area with the Halfblood, often reminding her of how important it is to retrieve the stolen Disk.

*"Thank you, Halfblood. I owe you my life... I'd like to commend you for your fight back in the Sanctum, but alas, we have all failed... but the Elf is close, I can sense her power! We still have a chance to recover the Disk! Let us hurry! We can't let her get away like this!"*

If she survives the Demons' ambush, she follows Zan through the entrance to the Cult Fortress, falling into the same trap and ending up in the Cult Mansion's corruption pit below. Being soon overrun by Crawlers, she urges Zan to flee, willing to sacrifice herself to delay the endless swarm of creatures from chasing after the Halfblood.

If she doesn't die before Zan leaves, she continues to fight the Crawlers until they lose the Halfblood's scent and stop pouring in. Some time later, the Curator is rescued by the Iron Division troops after they break from the siege and proceed to search the Mansion's area for intelligence.

*"We meet again, Halfblood. You didn't think I would fall so easily, did you? Granted our sisters had to retrieve my half conscious body from a pile of slimy worm flesh..."*

Once at the remnant's camp, she joins Grand Earth Mother Breaza and the Advisor at the strategy table, weighing in during their briefings with Zan.

*"The cultists have most likely gotten their hands on a lot of our knowledge in Valc."*

*"Yes, we must focus on recovering the Disk. Nithriel could depart to Hell any moment now."*

When the assault on the Demon Port Town commences, the Curator joins Zan once again, aiding her in the battle ahead. If she survives the encounter with the Giant Cerberus and the crossing of the Bridge, she joins Eraanthe on the speedboat with which she chases after the Baron's fleet.

*"Your pet has fallen, Baron! And you're next!"*

*"I can sense Nithriel's aura fading! She and the Baron must have fled to sea!"*

After catching up with the demonic ships, she urges Zan to board the Baron's flagship and find Nithriel, as she is getting desperate to retrieve the Disk. However, Tiati's reckless sabotage allows Nithriel to escape with it and throws the entire fleet into chaos, with Eraanthe barely managing to steer her speedboat away and reach the Core of Hell.

When Warlord Grund and her troops arrive on the island, the Curator gets chastised for leaving her sisters behind and she is ordered to stand down and protect the camp's anti-magic ward.

*"The Gods have shielded you from the blast!... your crystal amulet must've helped too."*

*"I should have steadied my desire to recover the Disk... alas, we risked and we failed."*

*"I'd love to join you in this final fight, but I must stay here and overlook the ward."*

After Zan defeats the Blue Baron, the Curator returns to Valc with the rest of the troops. She then brings the Disk back to the Crystal Heart and resumes the remainder of her mandate in peace.
