Background

Colin begins with two starving Servants whose loyalty to him is described as absolute. He immediately treats them as both subordinates and people under his protection, using Mist Points to improve their physical condition and combat capability rather than waiting for ordinary training to do so. 3 21

His early survival efforts center on investigating the Church of Suffering. After finding the Twisted Soul, he accepts the task “Bring Peace to the Children,” enters the church, and ultimately completes the mission despite the hidden final Wailer. The mission’s aftermath leads to his acquisition of the Sufferer Hunter title and establishes his practice of pairing careful investigation with overwhelming force. 8 13 16 17

As his forces grow, Colin turns from a small-group survivor into an organizer of territories, Servants, Survivors, and later Fallen Races. He builds the Empire around military strength, resource control, technological production, and the expanding influence of his Light Chasers. 44 171 491

Appearance

Colin is a human man whose physical presence becomes increasingly associated with Holy Light. Though Barton initially perceives him as comparatively frail beside towering Fallen Races, he also sees Colin as unbending and sacred, with a presence like that of a holy son. 202

• Often carries or emits intense radiance, especially when using light-based abilities. 168 426
• Can manifest a full light-based form while exerting his higher powers. 495 654
• Maintains a composed, upright bearing that inspires confidence in allies and fear in enemies. 202 446

Personality

Colin is pragmatic, analytical, and habitually cautious around unknown powers. He uses his Hint to test assumptions, studies enemy capabilities before committing to a fight, and treats incomplete information as a danger rather than an invitation to recklessness. 29 64 234

In battle, he is decisive and frequently ruthless. He exploits openings without concern for ceremonial fairness, uses explosives against stronger foes, and eliminates threats before they can reveal their full abilities. 48 457 675 However, he does not pursue violence for its own sake: he spares Li Chou after defeating him, shares survival information with other Survivors, and directs Empire resources toward people in need. 48 64 368

His leadership combines genuine concern with severe expectations. He feeds, equips, and promotes his people, but also organizes them through strict quotas, rewards, punishments, and complete submission to the Empire’s structure. 44 112 402

Hint / Prompt

Colin possesses a mental prompt that provides situational analysis, danger assessments, deductions, and limited information about people, items, locations, and future threats.

• Madman’s Leg Bone — T1 mysterious item that lets Colin temporarily exceed physical limits, grants immunity to instant-death effects, and consumes lifespan. 457
• Sealing Urn — Can seal an area for up to ten minutes, preventing escape until its conditions are met. 457
