Crimm

**Crimm** is an Adept who used to work as one of the Sumeragi Institute's enforcers. However, he was rarely sent on missions, resulting in him ultimately betraying Sumeragi so he could carry out his sadism on his own.

## Appearance

Crimm is a young man who wears a black jacket and gray shirt. He wears an orange tie and a pair of black pants with a white trim. His blond hair is very short.

## Personality

Crimm is a sadist who considers the death and destruction he brings as a form of art. He clearly enjoys killing people and destroying things, and upon learning that Kohaku had survived one of Crimm's rampages, Crimm simply asked what Kohaku's thoughts on his "masterpiece" were. Sumeragi's members, even Demerzel, are implied to only put up with his behavior simply because of his powerful Septima, as well as how he could be dangerous as an enemy. Ultimately, Crimm's sadism led to him betraying Sumeragi due to him never being sent out on missions, denying him of a chance to cause massacres.

It is very likely that Crimm only makes decisions purely based on sadism, showing no regard for the deaths of Sumeragi's soldiers because it gives him a higher chance to be sent on missions, which Blade notes is most likely so that he spread his "art". Additionally, he seemed fairly excited at the thought of soldiers betraying Sumeragi, considering them "more canvases to paint on." Furthermore, he also didn't care when Gunvolt and Copen stopped fighting each other because he saw an opportunity to personally kill both of them.

## History

Most of Crimm's past is unknown, but he eventually joined the Sumeragi Institute, most likely out of sadism.

Unlike his co-worker, Blade, Crimm was rarely sent on missions, with the only notable one he was sent on being an attack on a neighborhood filled with Minos. Crimm destroyed the neighborhood and killed all but one Mino, who, unbeknownst to him, was Kohaku.

Eventually, Crimm was tired of not being sent on missions and chose to betray Sumeragi. He travelled to an abandoned auto-fabrication plant and, expecting Blade to attack him, waited there, setting up a trap by using Detonation on the building's roof. As he waited, iX and Gunvolt broke into the auto-fabrication plant in search of energy packs for Kohaku. Crimm immediately attacked them, but before he could kill them, Blade arrived. Crimm decided to reveal his trap, using Detonation to blow up the roof of the auto-fabrication plant. He escaped as the building began to crumble, but didn't kill anybody.

## Skills

### Detonation

**Detonation** is Crimm's Septima. It allows him to create orange energy blasts using his hands. These blasts are then fired, and will explode when they hit something. Crimm can fire the blasts near himself to propel himself in different directions to increase his mobility. Additionally, Detonation's energy can be safely fired, then remotely detonated when Crimm snaps his fingers. By performing this, Crimm had used enough energy to destroy the roof of an auto-fabrication plant and cause it to crumble.

### Physicality

Crimm is surprisingly durable, being able to survive blowing himself up multiple times using Detonation. He also withstood an explosion caused by a combination of Detonation and Gunvolt's Azure Striker.

Crimm is fast enough to keep up with people like Gunvolt and Blade. He's also capable of deflecting darts from Gunvolt's Dart Leader using his scissors.

### Misc.

Crimm carries a pair of scissors as a melee weapon, which he uses like a knife.
