Characters
The main cast of Limbus Company consists of 12 characters, but with how the game works, each of them will have multiple 'identities' that change their designs, skills etc. Still, this article will focus only on the base characters.
Yi Sang
About
Formerly the youngest chief researcher at the [REDACTED] Wing, this sinner possesses higher intelligence compared to most others. We estimate that everyday conversation with this sinner will prove difficult for managers selected by our current screening process. Avoiding communication altogether will pose a risk on its own, however. If the sinner remains silent for a long time, that means he is currently processing a line of deliberate thought; we recommend waiting patiently for him.
Other information
- No.1 - E.G.O.: Crow's Eye View
- Particulars: Ruminating
- Yi Sang is a reference to the real Korean poet and writer Yi Sang and their short story from 1936, titled “Wings”.

Faust
About
The sinner who developed the engine of Mephistopheles, the bus operated by Limbus Company. She claims that there is no one in the City who could rival her library of knowledge and wisdom, and she isn't necessarily wrong. You might find her high and mighty attitude when she allows you to converse with her displeasing, but as seen with how she treats everyone with subtle gestures of arrogance, there is no hope of her parting with it, ever. We recommend simply nodding once and getting over it. Even though she has an unparalleled genius, we can't quite figure out how to use this one. Perhaps you could be the one to find out?
Other information
- No.2 - E.G.O.: Representation Emitter
- Particulars: Insufferable, Chronic Lassitude
- Faust is a reference to the main character of the play “Faust” by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe from 1808.
Introduction video
Don Quixote
About
There is no sinner that can outmatch this one's level of passion. An avid aficionada of all things Fixer, she adorns herself with a variety of Fixer-related merchandise. They won't affect her performance in combat one way or another, so there is no need for you to restrict her from keeping her decorations. She is deeply immersed in the role of a righteous Fixer, hence the exaggerated mannerisms akin to those of an actor. (Has such a thing ever existed, really?) It's advised to play along with her for a smooth mission.
Other information
- No.3 - E.G.O.: The Blood of Sancho
- Particulars: Over-passionate, [REDACTED], Has Delusions of Grandeur
- Don Quixote is a reference to the protagonist of the novel “Don Quixote” by Miguel de Cervantes from 1605.
Introduction video
Ryoshu
About
As they say, every person has their own creed—and it’s only right to respect it as the Executive Manager. But with some creeds, you will have difficulty in even simply pretending to sympathize. You will have noticed that the sinner in question is a silent chain-smoker whose eyes shine with a euphoric gleam only during battle. She believes that senselessly destroying the enemy's heads is an uncultured act and a step backward for art. If you are at your wit's end, please press the red button included in your welcome kit.
[CAUTION]: This sinner's background is one that even our company may have trouble handling; it is advised against making her breed personal resentment towards you.
Other information
- No.4 - E.G.O.: Forest for the Flames
- Particulars: Has an aesthetic sense, Chain-smoker
- Ryoshu is a reference to the short story “Hell Screen” by Ryunosuke Akutagawa from 1918.
Introduction video

- Particulars: Refuses to cast any moral judgement
- Meursault is a reference to the main character of the novella “The Stranger” by Albert Camus from 1942.
Introduction video
Hong Lu
About
A sinner who had lived an affluent life before becoming our company's asset. As such, he has a certain admiration for a free life; but occasionally, he may make ignorant and unsavory questions in regards to the food cooked by a certain other sinner or other aspects of the low-lives' lowly culture. This can cause much irritation for the other sinners. However, it is important to note that no sarcastic undertones are contained in his curiosity-driven inquiries, so it is ill-advised to let them get physical over it.
Other information
- No.6 - E.G.O.: Land of Illusion
- Particulars: Bachelor, Sheltered
- Hong Lu is a reference to the “Dream of the Red Chamber” by Cao Xueqin, written during Qing’s dynasty ruling and first printed in 1791.
Introduction video
Heathcliff
About
This sinner prefers to take action rather than wait for logic to dictate his course. His thoughts and feelings are blatantly visible in his demeanor, and he has no intention of hiding them; his brashness may cause headaches (or physical injury leading to a headache) in the process of forming a relationship. Please do note that this is not an indication of serious damage to the sinner's thought process. If his fit of rage persists, please contact the human resources department. Once you realize that he is the type that tends to be simple-minded, you'll have an easier time handling him.
Other information
- No.7 - E.G.O.: Bodysack
- Particulars: Anger-management Issues, Ruffian, Inferiority Complex
- Heatcliff is a reference to the protagonist of the novel “Wuthering Height” by Emily Bronte, written in 1847.
Introduction video
Ishmael
About
You may be disheartened by the defective state of many of your sinners, but do not worry; this sinner is one of the few who can carry out most missions without much complaint. She is likely to make reasonable judgements, so it is a good idea to start conversations while looking her way if you're seeking sound advice. However, you mustn't forget: this sinner has survived an absurd voyage in a far and wide body of water. Her patience may run deep, but once you take a wrong turn with her, it will be a difficult task to regain her trust.
Other information
- No.8 - E.G.O.: Snagharpoon
- Particulars: Suffers from an obsessive-compulsive neurosis
- Ishmael is a reference to the novel “Moby Dick” by Herman Melville from 1851.
Introduction video
Rodion
About
The unfortunate traits of being Backstreets-born are apparent in this sinner. She loves money, gambling, and betting—so it is advised to pay close attention to her as the manager. She tends to deflect orders with an unimpressive wink or a silly joke; we recommend taking a stern stance at times to remind her that you are her superior. Her mood may be down at irregular intervals. There is nothing you can do to aid her in that state, so we recommend waiting for it to pass.
Other information
- No.9 - E.G.O.: What is cast
- Particulars: Materialistic, Engrossed Gambler
- Rodion is a reference to the main character of the Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky from 1867.
Introduction video
Emil Sinclair
About
Even with the volatile nature of human growth around his age taken into consideration, this sinner seems to get particularly startled or frown when spoken to. He isn't used to real combat at the moment, meaning that he may struggle to keep himself together at the sight of something as mild as spilt innards at first. As there may be those with violent tendencies among your crew, we recommend taking an approach focused on positive reinforcement with this sinner. He appears to possess a murderous gaze that he himself isn't aware of; this is a hopeful sign that he has the potential to grow into an expert of our company's profession with the right stimuli.
Other information
- No.11 - E.G.O.: Branch from the Tree of Knowledge
- Particulars: Wishy-washy, Overdependent, Inexorably Insecure
- Emil Sinclair is a reference to the main character, Emil Sinclair, from the book “Demian” by Hermann Hesse published 1919 (version with a prologue was released in 1960).
Introduction video
Outis
About
This sinner could serve as an excellent advisor depending on your capability. However, she also has a meddlesome tendency, so it is recommended to keep her satisfied with short replies of agreement. She is an expert when it comes to tactics and various pearls of wisdom about life, making her advice all the more valuable for your mission. In addition, she possesses a vast knowledge of workshop technologies; you could trust her with simple repairs of the bus.
[NOTICE]: Unlike the other sinners, accessing records pertaining to the past of this sinner is not permitted.
[WARNING]: Keep an eye on this sinner and beware that she does not exercise her cunning intellect for purposes other than completing our company's mission.
Other information
- No.12 - E.G.O.: Suffering Becomes Experience
- Particulars: Strategic
- Outis is a reference to the “Odyssey” by Homer, more particularly to the Odysseus who used the word Outis (Greek “Nobody”) as his alias during his journey.
Introduction video
Gregor
About
This sinner is relatively easy to handle in terms of personality. However, an upsurge of emotion or a sudden change of environment may cause parts or the whole of his body to transform into insectile (notably akin to a carapace, resembling that of the _________) tissues. If you do not wish to be a rude manager (not that you're obligated to be nice), we recommend keeping your facial expression in check so that your disgust is not visible to him. He sometimes uses cynical language, but he can still be reasoned with, and you can get around him without much difficulty as long as you learn the knack of it.
Other information
- No.13 - E.G.O.: Suddenly, One Day
- Particulars: Repulsive, Spontaneously Metamorphice
- Gregor is a reference to the main character of the book “Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka from 1912.
Introduction video
Dante
About
Dante, supposedly Limbus Company's manager / main character, character with a clock instead of the head. They are an enigma so far with little details about them. We only know they have the ability to rewind time and bring back dead sinners to life.
Other information
- No.10 - E.G.O.: ???
- Particulars: ???
- Dante is most likely a reference to the “Divine Comedy” by Dante Alighieri from 1320.
