Cielf

Biography

Life in Klein's Era

Cielf was a wealthy Intisian Artisan who secretly produced mystical items for Alger while becoming entangled with Primordial Moon believers. Alger discovered hidden Southern Continent ritual materials and overheard plans to move Cielf into a “new life,” then informed the Tarot Club. The resulting operation exposed the cult and recovered Word of the Sea, but Cielf’s corruption and questionable morals made it unsafe to leave him unsupervised (Chapters 902–935)

Cattleya placed Cielf under watch aboard the Future and explored ways to cleanse his lingering corruption. There he continued crafting and was drawn into Frank Lee’s mushroom experiments, an arrangement that restrained his freedom while preserving his useful expertise. His latest scene leaves him alive on the Future, pale and trembling amid Frank’s experimental mushrooms (Chapters 972–1089)

Appearance and personality

Cielf is a thin, tanned middle-aged man with flaxen hair, brown eyes, puffy eye bags, and a tired or impatient manner. His home is meticulously clean but plainly furnished despite his wealth. He spends lavishly on wine and mistresses while disdaining conventional display, and his appetite for pleasure and secrecy repeatedly compromises his judgment.

Pathways and abilities

Cielf is a Sequence 6 Artisan of the Paragon pathway. He can identify, design, repair, and manufacture mystical items by combining characteristics and materials, but commissions still require time, resources, and workable designs. The powerful effects of creations such as Word of the Sea belong to the items, not to Cielf’s body.
