She was an '''android''' created by Inner Shadow '''Jun Gasket''' for the purpose of infiltration and assassination, her precept being intelligence acquisition, reconnaissance, and manipulation, later becoming a cybernetic human. Though it was revealed by Aaron that Sigurd's original purpose was to be Jun's plastic sex doll during the Inner Shadow's puberty phase, modeled exactly to be like the supermodel '''Elise Scarlet'''; known as the most beautiful woman alive in her universe (according to Auxiliary Shadow '''Visor''' and Auxiliary Shadow '''Hellsing'''). This information was later redacted from the database after Annelise threatened to sever Aaron's genitalia five hundred eighty-seven different ways. | |

In terms of proficiency as a Black Legion operative, Annelise is considered Aaron's parallel, as, like her Senior Outer Shadow, Scarlet possesses a Black Legion ranking that rivals Outer Shadows, just like how Aaron possesses a Black Legion ranking that rivals Inner Shadows. In addition to her ranking, the sheer amount of hard work and diligence exhibited by the Auxiliary Shadow has made Annelise Jun Gasket's strongest Auxiliary, just like how Aaron is Jun's strongest Outer Shadow. Of all the Auxiliary Shadows under Dainsleif's command, Sigurd is considered the closest to becoming his successor. | In terms of proficiency as a Black Legion operative, Annelise is considered Aaron's parallel, as, like her Senior Outer Shadow, Scarlet possesses a Black Legion ranking that rivals Outer Shadows, just like how Aaron possesses a Black Legion ranking that rivals Inner Shadows.

In battle, Sigurd is almost always seen in her skin-tight leather bodysuit, which had undergone several revisions in the past. The suit, though durable, adheres to her body and accentuates her curves, most likely for the purpose of seduction during infiltration and intelligence acquisition. Though Sigurd has at times worn different articles of clothing depending on the situation due to her line of work. When attending college, Sigurd wore more casual clothes, including short-sleeved blouses and occasionally flannel. Sigurd also sports a pair of high-heeled boots, which actually house her leg blades which she uses in combat. On her forearms are very faint lines which reveal her arm blades. | In battle, Sigurd is almost always seen in her skin-tight leather bodysuit, which had undergone several revisions in the past.

According to '''Soldier X8''', a mechanized combat golem designed by Jun Gasket to be fully combat-focused, Annelise's functionality and proficiency in her combat hardware surpasses even himself and many other combat androids in the Black Legion, making her terrifying even by Black Legion standards. However, it was noted by X8 that since Annelise's specialty is more on a tactical takedown, assassination, and stealth attacks; she still lacks the frontal firepower compared to harder-hitting Auxiliary Shadows such as X8 and Bryce "Uzi" Jones that is required to take down highly durable enemies. Additionally, due to being more of an agile, guerrilla-based combat droid, TX7F is not designed to fight enemies toe to toe, and thus is, by default, always at a disadvantage when fighting an up-close battle. As a result of this, Sigurd's body is not designed to withstand strong heavy blows that arise during upfront confrontations. | According to '''Soldier X8''', a mechanized combat golem designed by Jun Gasket to be fully combat-focused, Annelise's functionality and proficiency in her combat hardware surpasses even himself and many other combat androids in the Black Legion, making her terrifying even by Black Legion standards.

According to Jun Gasket, Sigurd's compatibility with the upgrades he has installed on her body is unusually higher than any of his creations. This was such to the point where Sigurd, despite being a mere Auxiliary Shadow, was capable of handling the '''Omega Upgrade''', an upgrade that Jun had spent years developing (thousands of years in the cyberworld), yet was historically known to be incapable of being installed in any of Jun's robots due to the incomprehensibly high tolerance required to handle. It was later revealed by Aaron that this may have been due to Sigurd's strong desire for humanity and love for life, which allowed her to cling to her ideals and not succumb to cyberdegradation. | |

However, if the need arises for which Annelise is required to fight her opponents hand to hand, either to take them out of the equation, or the mission calls for elimination, Sigurd has proven to be one of the most dangerous fighters in the series due to her tactical nature, analytical mindset, and numerous combat based computer implants. Annie's style is described to be highly strategic, using her numerous cybernetic implants and advanced weaponry to distract her opponents much like Aaron's style, but will resort to more direct and aggressive strikes as her body allows her to.

When fighting with this style, Annelise is described to almost appear to be fighting with eight blades instead of two, a testament to the intensity of the technique. | ||

The side effect of the move is that the petal-like debris also begins changing color due to the sheer speed of her attacks bending the local refractive properties of light itself. | ||

By channeling the Anti-Narrative through a set of modules, the Upgrade can allow its user to break the narrative of any reality seemingly. Installing this technology into Sigurd's body allows Sigurd to negate all reality warping and narratives placed against her passively, as well as destroy any offsets off of the fabric of reality by channeling the power. The major drawback of these modules is overuse and the limited usage of the Anti-Narrative effect due to the nature of Sigurd's body. If the power is channeled for too long, Sigurd may be susceptible to narrative deresolution, which may result in the degradation of her entire body and existence. As such, Sigurd is limited to a max of three uses of the modules a day. These modules also have a number of other implications, as follows: | ||

"We all have been there for him. We all value Aaron in our own ways. Our stories are all different, but they all converged at one point. And that point was always when we would fight side by side as his Auxiliary Shadows."
- Annelise Scarlet
Annelise "Annie" Scarlet, known by her identification number IU_TX7F (Infiltration Unit TX7F) is an extremely powerful Auxiliary Shadow reporting to Aaron "The God-Eater" Hope, acting as his right-hand woman under the codename Iron Maiden Sigurd or Sigurd for short. She was an android created by Inner Shadow Jun Gasket for the purpose of infiltration and assassination, her precept being intelligence acquisition, reconnaissance, and manipulation, later becoming a cybernetic human. Though it was revealed by Aaron that Sigurd's original purpose was to be Jun's plastic sex doll during the Inner Shadow's puberty phase, modeled exactly to be like the supermodel Elise Scarlet; known as the most beautiful woman alive in her universe (according to Auxiliary Shadow Visor and Auxiliary Shadow Hellsing). This information was later redacted from the database after Annelise threatened to sever Aaron's genitalia five hundred eighty-seven different ways.
After reconciling with the real Elise Scarlet, the original gave Sigurd her blessing to live her own life and granted her the name Annelise, which she would use as her legal name. Annelise would then accept the biological implants gifted to her by Aaron and Jun to become a cybernetic human, attaining her dream of attending college and living her life as a normal college girl.
Despite her new life, Annelise still continues to work as Aaron's Auxiliary, deeply grateful for everything he has done for her. Because of her biological implants, TX7F was also the first android created by Jun Gasket to display true human emotion, a dream the Inner Shadow once had come true.
In terms of proficiency as a Black Legion operative, Annelise is considered Aaron's parallel, as, like her Senior Outer Shadow, Scarlet possesses a Black Legion ranking that rivals Outer Shadows, just like how Aaron possesses a Black Legion ranking that rivals Inner Shadows. In addition to her ranking, the sheer amount of hard work and diligence exhibited by the Auxiliary Shadow has made Annelise Jun Gasket's strongest Auxiliary, just like how Aaron is Jun's strongest Outer Shadow. Of all the Auxiliary Shadows under Dainsleif's command, Sigurd is considered the closest to becoming his successor.
Contents
Appearance
He Kills Gods as a Man
Modeled after the superstar Elise Scarlet, Sigurd is depicted to be a beautiful young woman with a curvaceous figure, which was one of the most defining features used in her occupation as an Infiltration Unit. Sigurd is of above-average height for a human female, exhibiting many physical traits akin to her product line.
Sigurd possesses bright, luminescent cyan android eyes, which enable her to see in the dark and also scan her surroundings, formulating analytical battle strategies on the fly and feeding this data to her Outer Shadow through a neural connection. Her long shiny black hair reaches her back and falls to her front through several bangs. Her face is described to be stern, but attractive.
In battle, Sigurd is almost always seen in her skin-tight leather bodysuit, which had undergone several revisions in the past. The suit, though durable, adheres to her body and accentuates her curves, most likely for the purpose of seduction during infiltration and intelligence acquisition. Though Sigurd has at times worn different articles of clothing depending on the situation due to her line of work. When attending college, Sigurd wore more casual clothes, including short-sleeved blouses and occasionally flannel. Sigurd also sports a pair of high-heeled boots, which actually house her leg blades which she uses in combat. On her forearms are very faint lines which reveal her arm blades.
When Sigurd is angered or upset (usually from Aaron's teasing and pranks), she enters Assault Mode, where her eyes and suit accents glow red. In this state, her combat prowess increases exponentially for the purpose of fighting against Dogma Holders if the need arises. Her body generates power at a far greater rate than her usual output, causing red bioelectrical discharge and a white energy aura to form around her. Assault Mode mostly only appears whenever Aaron causes her to be overly embarrassed.
Personality
Annelise frequently maintains a stern and logical personality, however, at times will lose her composure if placed in a situation that causes her to be overly embarrassed or annoyed (usually by Aaron or Bryce's stupidity).
Due to her nature as an android (later, as a cyborg), Sigurd often comes off as highly cold and calculating, even more so in her younger years. However, it was revealed that this level of apathy was what Annelise had deemed necessary to ensure her Outer Shadow and her Auxiliary Shadow colleagues were free from the risk of being caught off guard due to being too relaxed.
As an Infiltration Unit, Sigurd is highly perceptive of the personalities of others due to her experience using these personality traits to her advantage in her stealth ops. An expert in both psychological warfare and its biological implications, Sigurd can easily read people based on their body language, as well as their biological functions through her cybernetic sensors, deducing any hidden motives or desires.
Loyalty and Admiration
Of all the Auxiliary Shadows, Annelise was one of the only subordinates of Aaron, alongside June Lee Sung who unconditionally supported her Outer Shadow with undying loyalty, rarely ever refusing a mission request. Despite occasionally lashing out and sarcastically insulting Aaron for comedic purposes, Sigurd greatly respects her leader and would go to great lengths for his sake. A testament to this was her desire to become strong enough to stand by his side, despite knowing that she was merely an A Rank Auxiliary Shadow, and Aaron being an overwhelming SS Rank Outer Shadow, Annelise ignored her own programming and decided to set a goal to herself to reach SS Rank, no matter how monumental and impossible the task seemed.
When Aaron was critically injured for a second time by Jekyll, Annelise blamed her own weakness for not becoming strong enough to support her Outer Shadow, beating herself up for letting Jekyll nearly take the life of yet another person close to her. After learning of her fellow Auxiliary Shadow Robbie Fernandez's death to Vala, the revelation became the tipping point for Annelise during the installation of the Omega Upgrade, in which Sigurd's frustration for not being strong enough began causing her to succumb to cyberdegradation. The fierce desire to become strong enough for Aaron's sake after remembering all of the things Aaron had done for her, including the biological implants which gave her the ability to live her life as a normal college girl allowed her to finally push through the operation and fully ascend to SS Rank.
Sigurd, though not very open about it, greatly admires Aaron not just for his accomplishments, but the way he achieves them. Respecting Aaron's dedication to becoming stronger in spite of the limits of his human body, Sigurd follows in her Outer Shadow's example, frequently analyzing and studying previous missions to search for ways to upgrade her own body and become stronger herself. This dedication and fierce work ethic was what allowed Sigurd to reach the level of A Rank, despite the average ranking for an Auxiliary Shadow being B Rank. Many of Sigurd's abilities are inspired by Aaron's skillset, one of which is Aaron's Hyperthought Processing, causing Sigurd to implement her own version of it.
Despite frequently being compared to Aaron by the other Shadows of the Black Legion, Sigurd admits she is actually happy to know that many see the Auxiliary Shadow following in her Outer Shadow's footsteps.
Love for Humanity
The irony behind Sigurd's character is that despite her cold exterior and her very nature of being a mechanical android, Sigurd possesses an extremely strong love for life, to the point where her values for humanity surprised even Jun Gasket, her creator. Due to this, Sigurd's desire to become a human often was remarked on by Aaron and was observed to manifest itself through occasional episodes of jealousy towards her peers, as well as a strong overprotectiveness over Aaron's wellbeing. One of her dreams is that through Jun's cybernetics technology, Sigurd could one day live her life as an ordinary human. This love for life was a trait that Jun never expected would appear in Sigurd's programming and quickly became one of the reasons why Annelise was capable of accepting upgrades with a greater affinity than Jun's other creations.
Annelise loves animals and nature, her hobbies include taking scenic walks in parks and gardens. In her spare time, Annelise also keeps a small garden on the balcony of her room in Jun's Barracks, for which she collects different kinds of flowers and potted plants, explaining that the presence of even just one flower would be enough to turn a world full of metal and violence into a source of hope.
Sigurd's uncanny love for life has been commented on and noticed by other robotic individuals, a notable example being Buck the Destroid, who began to develop thoughts of true sentience, remarking that Sigurd was unlike many of her kind. One who cherished life and at times, looked passed the ones and zeros.
Powers and Abilities
"There is neither 'probability', nor 'certainty' in this case. I will eliminate you. That itself is absolute."
- Annelise Scarlet
Annelise possesses highly advanced supercybernetic weaponry embedded in her body that enables her to fight on the upper echelon of The Black Legion Organization. Despite being an Auxiliary Shadow, TX7F was rated A Rank prior to the Omega Upgrade due to her proficiency in combat, rivaling that of Outer Shadows; a parallel to how her senior, Aaron Hope is rated SS Rank, fighting on par with Inner Shadows. As Annelise starts to transition to a cyborg, with more and more biological implants installed in her body by Jun Gasket, her formerly cold and apathetic mindset has been clouded with more human emotion, leading to a slightly more reckless fighting style that ends up with her body sustaining damage frequently. However, despite this, her combat proficiency remains extremely formidable. Annelise was capable of fighting toe to toe with beings such as Takofanes, and storming her way through Destruga, battling hordes of Destroids and Destroyer's army to reach an imprisoned Aaron Hope. However, once Sigurd managed to reach Hope and leads him to the prison exit, she is incapable of defeating Gigaton due to having sustained too much damage to her body.
According to Soldier X8, a mechanized combat golem designed by Jun Gasket to be fully combat-focused, Annelise's functionality and proficiency in her combat hardware surpasses even himself and many other combat androids in the Black Legion, making her terrifying even by Black Legion standards. However, it was noted by X8 that since Annelise's specialty is more on a tactical takedown, assassination, and stealth attacks; she still lacks the frontal firepower compared to harder-hitting Auxiliary Shadows such as X8 and Bryce "Uzi" Jones that is required to take down highly durable enemies. Additionally, due to being more of an agile, guerrilla-based combat droid, TX7F is not designed to fight enemies toe to toe, and thus is, by default, always at a disadvantage when fighting an up-close battle. As a result of this, Sigurd's body is not designed to withstand strong heavy blows that arise during upfront confrontations.
"One in a Million" Upgrade Compatibility: Unique to Sigurd, is her ability to accept cybernetic upgrades with seemingly no limit, no matter how incompatible they may appear to be for her body. According to Jun Gasket, Sigurd's compatibility with the upgrades he has installed on her body is unusually higher than any of his creations. This was such to the point where Sigurd, despite being a mere Auxiliary Shadow, was capable of handling the Omega Upgrade, an upgrade that Jun had spent years developing (thousands of years in the cyberworld), yet was historically known to be incapable of being installed in any of Jun's robots due to the incomprehensibly high tolerance required to handle. It was later revealed by Aaron that this may have been due to Sigurd's strong desire for humanity and love for life, which allowed her to cling to her ideals and not succumb to cyberdegradation.
Ultraspeed Hyperthought Processing: Similiar to her senior Shadow Aaron Hope, Sigurd possesses the ability to process thoughts at a superhuman pace, but in her case, at speeds far surpassing the Outer Shadow due to her cybernetic nature. As an android/cyborg, Annelise's ability to process thoughts far surpass even Black Legion standards. Sigurd's ability to process thoughts is said to be so fast that the rate she can execute calculations and thoughts is hundreds of millions of times faster than conventional supercomputers, akin to a quantum computer.
- Superquantum Thought Acceleration: Following the Omega Upgrade, Jun Gasket installed an implant in Sigurd's brain allowing her to accelerate her thought speed, up to a 600 times multiplier. According to Sigurd, her ability to process thoughts rivals even Jun Gasket himself.
- MARS Tactician: Despite having a thought processing speed far surpassing her senior Shadow, Sigurd admitted that she did not possess the same level of craftiness and cunningness the God Eater displayed in battle. To compensate for this, Sigurd's consciousness developed an offshoot combat AI known as MARS, to allow her to compute virtually any scenario in a confrontation, and determine the most successful operation based on a certain set of parameters. By pairing MARS with her Ultraspeed Thought Acceleration, Sigurd can come up with a calculated strategy in a matter of nanoseconds.
Expert Hand to Hand Combatant: As an Infiltration Droid, Sigurd's main protocol is stealth. However, if the need arises for which Annelise is required to fight her opponents hand to hand, either to take them out of the equation, or the mission calls for elimination, Sigurd has proven to be one of the most dangerous fighters in the series due to her tactical nature, analytical mindset, and numerous combat based computer implants. Annie's style is described to be highly strategic, using her numerous cybernetic implants and advanced weaponry to distract her opponents much like Aaron's style, but will resort to more direct and aggressive strikes as her body allows her to. Paired with her Pheromones, which dull the senses of her opponents and cause them to be attracted to her, reducing their ability to land attacks, Sigurd is practically unbeatable against biological opponents.
- Trigrams Eight Blades Combination Style: Heavily inspired by Aaron's Trigrams Six Hands Style, Annie's interpretation of the style takes every aspect of her Ronin HSS Blade set and adapts it based on highly optimized calculations to deliver a complete fighting style which equally balances defense, offense, redirection, distraction, and conservation. When fighting with this style, Annelise is described to almost appear to be fighting with eight blades instead of two, a testament to the intensity of the technique.
- Symphony of Knives: Sigurd rushes forward, delivering countless and an overwhelming number of slashes at her opponents in numerous different angles and positions. The move is said to be so fast and coordinated that the sounds of the blades cutting through her opponents almost appear to be like a choir singing.
- Ceremony of Flowers: Sigurd surrounds her opponent, delivering a combination of precise slashes from her HSS and blasts from her Decimators, unleashing a torrent of attacks all around in the form of a deadly vortex. The debris that rips up from the ground where the vortex takes the appearance of numerous petals from flowers due to the precision of her attacks slicing and forming the pieces.
- Grand Ceremony - Final Garden: By pairing Sigurd's combat proficiency with Probability Manipulation and Godspeed Accelerate, Sigurd's attacks will always land true to her target's weak points by way of the narrative. Paired with the intensity of this move, this variant becomes exponentially more lethal. The side effect of the move is that the petal-like debris also begins changing color due to the sheer speed of her attacks bending the local refractive properties of light itself.
- Flashblade: Sigurd delivers a slash at near lightspeed, instantly cutting down her opponent before anyone can detect her movements.
Anti-Narrative Modules: The main aspect of Jun's revolutionary Omega Upgrade. When Jun investigated Aran Sol, the Inner Shadow was able to take parts of the Supreme Primordial's anti-narrative aura and somehow weaponize it into a malleable form, known as the Anti-Narrative Effect. By channeling the Anti-Narrative through a set of modules, the Upgrade can allow its user to break the narrative of any reality seemingly. Installing this technology into Sigurd's body allows Sigurd to negate all reality warping and narratives placed against her passively, as well as destroy any offsets off of the fabric of reality by channeling the power. The major drawback of these modules is overuse and the limited usage of the Anti-Narrative effect due to the nature of Sigurd's body. If the power is channeled for too long, Sigurd may be susceptible to narrative deresolution, which may result in the degradation of her entire body and existence. As such, Sigurd is limited to a max of three uses of the modules a day. These modules also have a number of other implications, as follows:
- Probability Manipulation: By changing the probability and possibility of an event from happening, Annelise is capable of changing the course of a battle by simply channeling the Anti-Narrative effect.
- Destiny Severance: By cutting the very fate of an individual, Sigurd can manipulate and destroy causality, fate, karma, and destiny. Sigurd's use of Destiny Severance was what allowed the Auxiliary Shadow to save Aaron Hope from being disintegrated by Inner Shadow Evangelion's Stage Four Hinokami, despite the overwhelming gap in firepower.
- Anti-Reality Mortar: By expanding the mechanical contraptions in Sigurd's arm and channeling the Anti-Narrative, Sigurd can blast holes into reality itself, nullifying and negating anything no matter how durable it is. However, Sigurd is limited to how much of the mortar she can use, as overuse of this ability can nullify not just her target, but also parts of her own body, which will make her susceptible to narrative deresolution.
Ronin High-Speed Series (HSS) Blades: The Ronin High-Speed Series blade set developed by Jun Gasket was designed specifically for highly agile and fast fighters, featuring blades that could be retracted and unsheathed at hypersonic speeds. The curved profiles are highly aerodynamic, with blades capable of slicing even the most durable of materials. Sigurd's HSS set is embedded in her forearms and her calves.
- High-Frequency Modification: In addition to the Omega Upgrade, Sigurd's HSS set received a further enhancement which featured the ability to use alternating currents to emit a tremendously high-frequency vibration, dramatically increasing its cutting effect. By vibrating her blades, Sigurd was capable of easily slicing through Destreum.
- Omega Variant: By channeling the Anti-Narrative through her HSS blades, Sigurd is capable of cutting through anything, even the order of the world. Even beings who are said to be immortal, indestructible, and even infinite fall victim to the reason-abolishing nature of the Omega Ronin HSS blade. As with the rest of Sigurd's Anti-Narrative arsenal, the use of the modules through her HSS blades can only be used sparingly, as overuse with lead to lethal side effects.
Dual Decimators: Sigurd's main ranged attack, which emits a highly concentrated and lethal beam of plasma from the palms of her hands. Sigurd is capable of regulating its output for precision attacks or wide-scale attacks, however, the wider the scale, the weaker the beam. Though powerful, as shown when Sigurd easily defeated Gigaton in her second encounter, the Auxiliary Shadow admits that the power is still ultimately inferior to her dedicated heavy hitter colleagues such as Auxiliary Shadow Hellsing or Auxiliary Shadow Assault.
- Total Breakdown Modification: A modification to Sigurd's Decimators enabling her to swap out the power source of her blasters for Junian Radiation, a form of radiation discovered by Jun Gasket which is said to be hundreds of thousands of times more lethal than gamma radiation.
- Omega Variant: With the Omega Upgrade, Sigurd is also given the option to use the Anti-Narrative as the power source of her Decimators. Though the destructiveness isn't to the level of her Anti-Reality Mortar, the output follows the same principles as the mortar and is still far stronger than her previous versions. The Omega Decimator does not consume as much of her Anti-Narrative buffer, but overuse still leads to the same lethal aftereffects.
Immense Speed: As a high-ranking Shadow in the Black Legion, additionally being one of Jun Gasket's stronger units, Sigurd is incredibly fast, being capable of closing distances and getting behind opponents with ease, even those who possess speed-based metahuman abilities such as Kinetik himself. The only known Shadows, aside from those in The Dark Hexagram, who exhibit speed that surpasses Annelise's base speed are the top fighters of the entire Black Legion; The Devil Monk, and Dagrun, both of which possess tremendous speed due to supernatural means. Following additional upgrades, Sigurd has been able to increase her speed through the Acceleration Protocol. The protocol has since upgraded tremendously, allowing her to move at speeds far faster than before.
- Accelerate Protocol: During the time Aaron was imprisoned by Doctor Destroyer, Sigurd installed an upgrade that allowed her to boost her speed substantially using rocket engines mounted inside her shoulder modules. By using Accelerate, Sigurd's speed increased to the point where she was able to react to lightning, dodging the attacks of Gigaton despite being heavily worn down from storming Destruga all alone.
- Supersonic Accelerate: A second upgrade to Sigurd's rocket engines, which significantly reduced the form factor and increased the propulsion force considerably.
- Hermes Modification - Godspeed Accelerate: An upgrade which Sigurd received before facing a weakened Aran Sol with Jun Gasket's assistance, Sigurd's propulsion systems were upgraded to allow her to move at speeds bordering the speed of light itself, making her even faster than Dagrun herself, rivaling that of Inner Shadow Jay Hellion. However, Sigurd admitted that ultimately, Jay remained far faster.
