Really though, are you actually planning to take down the gang’s boss? That won’t be reflected in your employee performance review or anything, you know?

–Effie, Canto II: The Unconfronting

Effie is a member of the LCCB and supporting character introduced in Canto II: The Unloving alongside his coworker Saude.

Appearance

Effie is first introduced in his croupier disguise. He wears a dark gray collared dress shirt with pants and shoes of the same color, and a simple white ribbon fastened with a single button. On top of his collared shirt, he wears a red vest with pronounced, darker-red lapels. Affixed to his left lapel is a blank name tag, while his right holds a strangely shaped gold and red pin which connects to the button holding together his ribbon with a chain.

His normal LCCB uniform is a large turquoise jumpsuit with the Limbus Company logo on the left shoulder, suited over a black turtleneck and tucked into black combat boots. He wears a gray combat vest atop the jumpsuit with a walkie talkie on the right shoulder and "LIMBUS" written in red across the center. There are pouches on the bottom of the vest, on his left shoulder and strapped to his right thigh. Effie carries with him a large baton with a golden, cylindrical head and exposed wiring, seemingly an electroshock weapon.

What stays consistent throughout both of his looks is Effie's exceedingly long, gray hair fastened into a thick braid with ribbons- although the ribbon is red in his disguise, and black in his regular uniform. He has small, slanted periwinkle eyes.

Personality

Effie is a rather snarky, judgmental person who always seems to have an insulting comment or two to make about the Sinners. He comes off as exceptionally smug and makes no effort to disguise his lack of faith in those he deems incompetent. This personality appears to clash with his partner Saude's when taken at face value, however a closer look at Saude's character reveals that in actuality, the two of them are equally critical people.

Both Effie and Saude are shown to be very intelligent and committed to their work. They immediately prove themselves to be highly knowledgeable during their excursion with the Sinners at J Corp., being able to swiftly answer questions concerning the Tingtang Gang, Tieqiu Crew, and the Wing's Singularity. They also craft a plan for securing the Golden Bough so perfect that Ishmael is shocked to find lacks even a single thing to be complained about. On top of this, the two of them claim to have practiced for months to pass as official croupiers for this plan, and then manage to do just that, showing great dedication and skill. Effie and Saude are described as ideal partners who can tell what the other is thinking with only a glance.

By Canto III: The Unconfronting, Effie seems to have gained an admiration of sorts for the Sinners and their strange way of doing things. At that point, he comes off as someone who is naturally sarcastic and teasing, rather than possessing any form of genuine hatred towards the group.

Background

Neither Effie nor Saude have any kind of official backstory at present. What is known is that they are members of the Limbus Company Clearance department (LCC), specifically the Before Team, and appear to be well acquainted with Faust. In Limbus Company, they are hired to help the Sinners with securing the Golden Boughs from the section mission onward. 

Story

Canto II: The Unloving

The duo of Saude and Effie first introduce themselves to the Sinners for the first time in J Corp. as they look through a pawnshop, having been given orders to assist the group in a heist on the Wing. The two introduce a flawless plan to the Sinners, much to their surprise, or at least mainly Ishmael's. With the Golden Bough being treated as a prize in a game of cards involving several of the local Syndicates, the two LCCB members make it known that the Sinners are expected to play particular roles to get closer to the Bough and acquire it. However, while preparing for the job, the pawnshop would be visited by a Tingtang Gang extortioner, a member involved in one of the four game-involved parties, who would begin threatening the pawnbroker. Despite Saude's choice to have the Sinners simply ignore this, Don Quixote would stand up to them, beginning a slow descent for the perfected plan. The Sinners are faced with no other option as they battle several Tingtangers.

Effie would scold and belittle the Sinners over the derailing of the plan, while fleeing from the Pawnshop, beginning to rework the plan while being chased by several Tingtangers. Effie's partner would attempt to meet the Sinners midway, reworking the plan to instead take the place of the Tingtang Syndicate. Finding their way to the scrapyard owned by the group, the two LCCB members would explain the functioning of the group before they would reach the Tingtang Boss, who would be defeated and have his identity stolen by the thirteen Sinners. Providing the group with Wishpower, Saude would explain the plan to cheat during the match while using this ability.

The duo would take the place of croupiers within the casino housing the Golden Bough event. Working with the plan to escort Rodion to the game on the upper floors, the plan would have another wrench thrown into it as a slot machine would score Dante and Don Quixote a jackpot due to the stored Wishpower, causing a great commotion as casino staff come out looking for IDs. Due to the way chance works in J Corp., it becomes obvious that the group are not what they seem and causes repeated strife. Planning to harvest new Wishpower, the container is destroyed, causing a month's work of luck to dissipate, shocking Saude. Effie would state his vindication in disliking the Sinners, assuming the plan to be properly ruined now.

Following the Sinners rising through the casino, before winning the game through the use of bluffing and violence, the Sinners would recoup with Effie and Saude in the elevator traveling to the vault.

Canto III: The Unconfronting

Meeting the Sinners again once they complete their checkup into the K Corp. Nest, the duo would return, this time in their LCCB equipment, planning to search Calw, Sinclair's home village, for the Golden Bough. Despite their past actions, Effie would act much friendlier with the Sinners on their meeting this time. Saddened by the fact Vergilius did not join the Sinners, they would move on to complete their role.

Not all would work out however, as the duo would meet Kromer and her Nagel und Hammer forces, leading to the Siners finding Effie in a highly injured state, impaled on a Nagel und Hammer nail with prosthetics haphazardly attached to his wounds. Struggling to live, unable to move, yet prolonged by the prosthetics forced onto him, the Sinners would come to the decision to kill Effie so he no longer needs to suffer. Outis would step forward, putting the man down. His death would later be known to Saude.
