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 Trails in the Sky the 3rd and revealed as an Anguis in Trails of Cold Steel. 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 before his death. Weismann was a 37-year old bespectacled man whose real name is not known. He was addressed by the Legion as "Professor" and was in charge of the Gospel Plan. He was also able to manipulate the memories and consciousness of his targets, in which he found great pleasure. His weapon, a staff forged through Divergent Laws, is capable of manipulating the attribute of space. Shortly after his defeat in Trails in the Sky SC, Weissmann attempted to flee with the Aureole in his possession, but was cornered and executed by Kevin Graham, who shot him with a piece of the Salt Pale. The Aureole was promptly taken by Campanella, who, in turn, gave it to the 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 referred to as a sinner or heretic. A dialogue between the First and Seventh Anguis in Trails to Azure 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. He scouted Walter Kron into the Society and the Septian Church do not know much 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 before her death. Her true identity is Lianne Sandlot, a knight who aided Dreichels Reise Arnor in winning the War of the Lions 250 years prior to the events of Trails of Cold Steel. She is known for her flowing blonde hair and her use of a massive lance as her primary weapon. Arianrhod aided in the Crossbell portion of the Phantasmal Blaze Plan, largely in a supervisory role. In Trails of Cold Steel III, she played an active role in Ouroboros's attempts to reclaim the Phantasmal Blaze Plan from Giliath Osborne, partaking in the society's Aion experiments and leading a takeover of Juno Fortress. It was during this time she was also revealed to be the Awakener of Argreion, the Argent Knight. In Trails of Cold Steel IV, she participated in the Rivalries and was ultimately defeated by Rean Schwarzer and Crow Armbrust. Although Class VII convinced Arianrhod to aid them in their cause, she was unexpectedly killed by Rufus Albarea, who also stole Argreion's power before departing. Arianrhod, for her part, transferred the last of her own power to Rean and Valimar before fading away.

Hello there, beautiful. May I have a moment of your time?

Please be aware spoilers for Trails into Reverie may be present in the following section. Hit [Show] on the right if the show must go on. Adios, amigos!

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.

There we go, the end of spoilers. Thank you for your time!

Trivia

• Renne states during an NPC dialogue in Trails through Daybreak that Harwood takes pleasure in "toeing the line that the Grandmaster has set". This suggests that the Anguis, unlike the Enforcers, do not have the freedom to do as they please.
