The Thumb

The Thumb (엄지, eomji) is one of the Five Fingers, the five most powerful Syndicates in the City which hold enough influence to rival even the Wings.

The Kurokumo Clan is one of the subsidiary Syndicates under the Thumb.

Culture

Similar to the other four Fingers, the Thumb has a unique Syndicate culture and creed that all members follow fervently. Compared to the other Fingers, the Thumb is considered the most refined of the four. However, they are as refined as they are strict; any action that breaks their established hierarchy will meet immediate punishment, and anyone related to those related to the rule breaker wind up punished as well. Syndicates under their command may be purged entirely should anyone fail to abide to these rules, along with outsiders who happen break their rules unknowingly. Their punishments commonly revolve around the removal of body parts, such as dismemberment or the forceful removal of one's tongue.

The Thumb has a hierarchy system divided into 4 major ranks, within which lie multiple sub-ranks. Someone of a lower rank (or equivalent to a lower rank) cannot speak to someone of higher rank without being granted permission lest they get punished. A member of the Thumb may only ascend through their feats and obedience. The ranks are as follows:

• Soldato (Soldier): The common foot soldier of the Thumb, and the lowest rank possible. "Regular Fixers" of Grade 2 and below are equivalent in rank to them. The Soldato rank is denoted by a badge with two arrows stamped in relief, and is divided into for sub-ranks (Primo, Secondo, Terzo, and Quarto, or I, II, III, and IIII respectively) denoted by the number of brass decorations pinned on their collars.
• Capo (Captain): They command groups of Soldatos, relaying orders from their higher-ups. They are able to act with more liberties. A Grade 1 Fixer is considered the same rank as a Capo. The Capo rank is denoted by a badge with a single black arrow, and is also divided into four sub-ranks similar to the Soldatos, also denoted by the number of brass decorations on their collars.
• Sottocapo (Underboss): The direct underlings of the Capo dei capi, who have permission to manage entire operations of the Syndicate within designated areas. Additionally, they also manage the Thumb's families, each Sottocapo being assigned different ones. Top-ranking members of a Wing are of equivalent rank to a Sottocapo.
  • The Thumb's 'families' are their subsidiaries.
• Capo dei capi (Godfather): The ruler of the Thumb across the City as a whole, who cannot be questioned whatsoever. The only ones of equal rank to a Capo dei capi are the highest authorities of Stars of the City.

Sometimes, a higher-up may temporarily grant their own rank to someone of lower rank, should they see said person as a better fit for an operation, or require someone else to attend to matters in their stead. This is not common knowledge even within the Syndicate, so only the most versed in the norms of the Thumb would know of such possibility.

Fighting Style

While not fought in Limbus Company, the southern branch of the Thumb are fought in Library of Ruina, where they generally make use of muskets. The ammo for their weapons is prepared by underground Workshops exclusively for them, but due to the regulations on firearms placed by the Head, their muskets have been modified to allow for close-range combat aswell. They are equipped with bayonets, and the muskets' buttocks are hard enough to damage and crush bones.

Soldatos of the eastern branch of the Thumb use a different weapon than those of the southern branch. Instead of a functioning musket with a bayonet attatched, their firearm has been heavily modified to fully serve as a melee weapon; the barrel of their musket now ends with a blade, and feature a retractible propeller on their top, which make use of their ammunition to boost the speed and force of their attacks. Additionally, their weapon possesses a cylinder much like a revolver's, where their ammunition is stored. Eastern Soldatos of the Thumb fought in Limbus Company employ a unique type of Ammo, Propellant Ammo Propellant Ammo- Unique Ammo
