The protagonists eventually confront Artorius for a final time in Innominat's body, fighting the Empyrean alongside Artorius, then lastly fighting their armatized form.ĭefeated, Innominat appears physically and mentally exhausted, yearning out of hunger after Velvet kills Artorius. Using the memories of the earthpulse to his advantage, Innominat toys with Velvet's emotions when she becomes trapped in the earthpulse after a confrontation with Artorius. This occurs in Innominat's transcendent body, which is essentially the planet and earthpulse itself. When Velvet loses her despair, Artorius himself offers his own in a final attempt to subdue Velvet and rid the world of emotion. These malevolent types are hatred, despair, greed, conceit, obsession, lust, cowardice, and selfishness.Īrtorius manages to feed Innominat with six of the eight required types before needing only the two Velvet holds in her possession: hatred and despair. Through seven therions located at different earthpulse points across the world, Innominat uses these "mouths" to strengthen himself, though he requires eight different types of malevolence in order to reach his fullest potential and engulf the planet in a large enough domain that will suppress the entirety of humanity's emotions. The first sacrifice was Artorius and Celica Crowe's nameless, unborn child during the Opening, and the second was Laphicet during the Advent, during which Innominat finishes his incarnation by making Laphicet his malakhim vessel.Īlthough Innominat carries with him Laphicet's memories, with which he uses to taunt Velvet, he is an autonomous being who adheres to Artorius's goals in his insatiable desire for malevolence, which he feeds upon. It is not revealed until much later in the story, however, that Laphicet was reincarnated as Innominat, who required two Scarlet Night sacrifices in order to fully incarnate himself into the world. Innominat lies dormant until the Advent, in which he assumes the body of the sacrificed Laphicet Crowe by the hands of Artorius, the very event that prompted the protagonist Velvet Crowe's path of vengeance.
