Anguis

The Anguis , also known in English as the Snake Apostles, is the collective name of Ouroboros' upper echelons. The Anguis consist of seven members in total. They are in charge of the strategic planning and command of the final phase of the Orpheus Final Plan, drafted by their absolute leader the Grandmaster.

The First Anguis
The position of First Anguis is occupied by an unknown man, who serves the mediator between the Grandmaster and the other Anguis, and reports the progress of Ouroboros' plans to the Grandmaster. While his identity and whereabouts are currently unknown, he speaks in a polite manner.

The Second Anguis
The position of Second Anguis is currently filled by Vita Clotilde, Witch of the Abyss. Vita is a bewitching 24-year old woman, whom was first heard speaking in and revealed as an Anguis in. Prior to her reveal, she was encountered as an opera singer using the same name, and as the popular radio show host Misty. She is a descendant of the Hexen Clan, which has played an important role in the history of Erebonia.

The Third Anguis
The position of Third Anguis was originally filled by Georg Weissmann, the Faceless. Weismann was a 37-year old bespectacled man whose name is not known. He is addressed by the Legion as "Professor" and was in charge of the Gospel Plan. He was also able to manipulate the memories and conciousness of his targets, in which he found great pleasure. His devil weapon, a staff forged through Divergent Laws, is capable of manipulating the attribute of space. When his plans were thwarted in, he stored the Gospel Plan's target, the Aureole, in his staff and during his escape, a salt bolt shot by Kevin Graham turned him into salt. Campanella appeared, destroyed whatever remained of Weissmann, and took the staff with him to report to Grandmaster.

Presently, the position of Third Anguis is filled by Mariabell Crois, the daughter of International Bank of Crossbell president Dieter Crois. She was the mastermind behind the Azure-Zero Project and a descendant of the Crois family, who have been trying to recreate the Demiourgos, the Sept-Terrion of Mirage, through the means of alchemy. She was invited to Ouroboros by Grandmaster in order to succeed Weissmann as the Third Anguis.

The Fourth Anguis
The position of Fourth Anguis is currently occupied by Ellroy Harwood, the Thousand Oathbreaker. Ellroy Harwood is a criminal specialist who acts according to his own desires and is also reffered to as a sinner or heretic. A dialogue between the First and Seventh Anguis in says that he took over some task from the Seventh before the latter came to Crossbell. Like Enforcers Lucrezia Isselee and Sharon Kreuger, he is a former member of the Order of the Moonlight Horse who joined Ouroboros following its downfall.

The Fifth Anguis
The position of Fifth Anguis is currently occupied by someone whose voice is indicative of him being an older man. No further information is known about him.

The Sixth Anguis
The position of Sixth Anguis is currently filled by F. Novartis. Known as an old mad scientist, he is the leader of the Thirteen Factories. He is willing to resort to sacrifices to satisfy his own intellectual interests.

The Seventh Anguis
The position of Seventh Anguis was originally filled by Arianrhod, the Steel Maiden. A woman equipped in helmet and heavy armour with long, blonde hair. Possessing a noble personality, she has a strong disgust of inhumane acts and is not one to forgive her opponents easily. Although she has mastered multiple weapons, her weapon of choice is an enormous calvary spear. She is considered the strongest fighter in Zemuria. She is in command of the Stahlritter. As the Awakener of Argreion, Arianrhod was killed by Rufus Albarea during the Rivalries.

Presently, the position of Seventh Anguis is unoccupied. The Grandmaster managed to find a candidate for the spot, who has yet to give her a response.
