Dear Guests, this Page is currently undergoing realization. Please bear with us as we fully realize the Page of The Vermilion Cross!
The Vermilion Cross was a Color Fixer. He was killed along with the Hana Association's Southern Branch 1, only to be revived by the Blood-red Night, used as a minion during her Reception.
His body is a bleeding mess, with twisted arms holding up a massive, super-heated cross on his back. He has long black hair with a single red eye shining through, and his skin is covered in burn marks.
Story
Not much is known about the Vermilion Cross, aside from his high status as a Color Fixer. In Dong-hwan's page story, it's noted that when he was alive, he was under the employment of the Hana Association to eliminate the Blue Reverberation and his Ensemble. However, he fails to do so and dies at their hands. Given his rank in the City and strength as a fixer, his body is taken and revived by Elena, which is then put to use in her Reception as a servant made to kill.
The Vermilion Cross does not drop a page of his own, and therefore has no Page Story. However, insight is given into his background in Dong-hwan's Page Story, given he was a friend.
Dong-hwan the Grade 1 Fixer’s Page
Hana Association seems to have taken an interest in the Library and the Blue Reverberation—the two entities at the center of all the problems that have been happening in L Corp’s Nest lately—now that they’ve marked their presence in the City’s sky as Stars. I asked a Color who happens to be a friend of mine about it… and he said the Association’s going to recruit him to hunt down the Blue Reverberation and his cohorts soon. They’ve been making quite a scene in L Corp’s Nest… In particular, the lives of many Syndicates, Fixers, and residents close to the Library were lost to their hands, so the Association couldn’t just sit and watch anymore. They’ve apparently set up a camp at the door of the Library, though no one knows what they’re waiting for. A couple other things I heard are that all sorts of sounds and noises are coming from that camp… and that a large number of firearms belonging to the Thumb were abandoned on the ground. Maybe they launched an assault on the Syndicate while it was still struggling to recover from the loss of the Underboss and his Capos. The ensemble’s not like most Syndicates just trying to make money off the turf of the wingless Nest, that’s for sure… But we still don’t know what their goals really are, and I can’t shake this bad feeling.
Anyways, since I was asked to pay a visit to the Library… It’ll be worth investigating the case some more after I get this job done.
