Krupp

South Coast branch head and rank 2 Kemoyin WarlockFarlier family

Biography

Survivor and heir

Protected by Damien, Krupp survives his family's near-destruction and appeals to the returned Leylin for vengeance. Leylin defeats Alric, upgrades Krupp's inherited Fallen Star Pendant, and names him branch head. He also binds Darlie to the family as Krupp's future companion. (Chapters 675–679)

Founding the restored branch

Leylin modifies Krupp with diluted rank 5 Kemoyin Emperor blood, advancing him from rank 1 to rank 2 and making him a third-generation Warlock. Krupp then serves as Leylin's representative before visiting Magi. He and Darlie marry under Leylin's supervision and return to the Chernobyl Islands to establish a kingdom on the Farlier family's original lands. (Chapters 681–684)

Appearance and personality

After bloodline modification, Krupp's hair and eyes become almost completely black and darkness particles gather around him. He is traumatized by his family's persecution, nervous before Leylin, and utterly loyal after receiving the Kemoyin bloodline. (Chapters 675–682)

Magic, bloodline, and abilities

  • Kemoyin Emperor bloodline: Leylin implants diluted umbilical blood from Syre, a second-generation rank 5 Kemoyin Emperor descendant. The modification pushes Krupp from rank 1 to rank 2 and makes him a third-generation Warlock relative to Leylin; it is transplanted bloodline power, not Krupp's original inheritance (Chapter 681).
  • Bloodline pressure and affinity: His hair and eyes darken, darkness particles crowd around him, and his new aura unsettles even a rank 3 Magus. Leylin estimates that the bloodline may carry him to rank 3 with time, but potential is not a demonstrated advancement (Chapters 681–682).
  • Bloodline hierarchy: The transformation creates overwhelming instinctive reverence toward Leylin as Kemoyin Emperor. This makes Krupp exceptionally loyal but also demonstrates a loss of autonomy, not a combat technique (Chapter 681).
  • Branch leadership: He represents Leylin before visiting Magi and later governs the restored Farlier territories. This is political authority supported by Leylin's reputation and outside aid rather than a spell (Chapters 682–692).

Relationships

  • Leylin Farlier: Ancestor, bloodline sovereign, and architect of Krupp's rise.
  • Darlie: Companion and eventual wife.
  • Damien: Elder protector who saves him and passes down Leylin's artifact.
  • Alric: Persecutor of his family.

Items

  • Fallen Star Pendant: Inherited from Damien and originally created by Leylin. Leylin re-smelts it, adds functions, restricts use to the Farlier bloodline, and upgrades it into low-grade magic equipment. The new functions are not individually described in the corpus (Chapters 676–677).
