–Aseah, Canto VI: The Heartbreaking |
Aseah (Hangul: 아세아, Asea) is a member of Hermann's new League of Nine. Originally a researcher from S Corp. and a member of the League of Nine Littérateurs, Aseah joined N Corp., where he and Gubo began working with Hermann. He was briefly kidnapped by The Ring, where he worked alongside Maestro Jumsoon to test the limits of the Glass Mirror and run experiments on the children from Vergilius' orphanage.
As of Limbus Company, he continues his work alongside Hermann instead.
Appearance
Aseah is a tall man with long, black hair covering the right side of his face. It is tied back in a tall ponytail. He wears a smug expression on his face. He wears a high-necked black shirt beneath a standard uniform seen of members of Hermann's group within N Corp., with two large black belts diagonally across his undershirt.
In Leviathan, he looks largely the same, yet wears a lab coat seemingly provided by the Ring to all of the scientists enlisted under it.
Personality
Similar to most other members of the League of Nine Littérateurs, Aseah speaks cryptically a majority of the time, waxing poetry when confronted with others attempting to make sense of his actions. However, unlike others within his former group, he seems to have a greater focus on scientific accomplishment, rather than ethics or morality, having willingly chosen to experiment on orphans and civilians as means to accomplish his goal of expanding tech relating to the Mirror.
Background
Aseah was formerly a part of the original League of Nine Littérateurs, spending time creating inventions for enjoyment with others. Little is known of what he made or how he interacted with the group at this time, but due to the overall closeness of others it can be assumed he was likely good friends with most others within this group.
Eventually, during the group's spiral into its demise following the repeated betrayals, N Corp. would establish a new variation and claim Aseah as well as Gubo, the latter of whom would bring Yi Sang along. Eventually, Aseah would be kidnapped by the Ring to continue his experiments.
Story
Leviathan
Aseah is first seen when the Ring is being investigated, having been picked up by Jumsoon as a lead scientist in charge of experiments using the children of Vergilius' orphanage they kidnapped. Through his experimenting, Lapis would be turned into her current state, Charon. Through the death of Jumsoon and the fallout of the specific branch of the Ring, it would appear that Aseah, as with several other members of the former Syndicate branch, would join under Hermann's group, where they would continue their work within T Corp.
Canto VI: The Heartbreaking
Aseah would first make himself known once the Sinners reach Wuthering Heights' basement, appearing alongside the former Ring members disguised as Öufi Association Fixers, vaguely sharing his intended use for those stuck within the machines to reach a "purer" point of humanity. Despite the dismay of his former friend, Yi Sang, he does not appear to feel any guilt over the suffering those within his experiments go through, before declaring himself too weak to fight the Sinners himself, disappearing back into the shadows while those more capable battle.
Returning to the group after the majority of the manor's basement has been destroyed, Aseah makes use of Linton's body as he transformed into a more 'pure form of dough', bringing back Erlking Heathcliff, who begins the Wild Hunt. From here, Aseah disappears again, seemingly leaving the manor to return to Hermann.

Trivia
- Aseah is based on Guinhoe member Yi Hyoseok, taking his name from one of the author's pen names, Aseah (아세아, 亞細兒).
- During the initial release of Canto VI Part 2, Aseah's Story Log Portait used the same color gradient for its background as the one shared between the members of Demian's Group, causing a misconception that he was affiliated with said group. This was unintended and was fixed with the release of Canto VI Part 3.
