Description: 782-01 is a humanoid male of human origin named Calfasio. He is of Grandis descent with wax-like skin and approximately 180cm tall. A large wax wing is located on 782-01’s left shoulder. He wears an old suit with a business tie, trousers, and black leather shoes.

782-01 emits a perpetual flame and all attacks generate immense heat. Homes in the city of its initial appearance (Divas Pass) were set alight as far as a hundred meters away from 782-01. The heat generated by 782-01 gradually damages him akin to a fleeting candle and was affected by the flames of 781-08 “Scorched Girl” at the time of its appearance.

782-01 is currently the first publicly known Corrupted Persona to exist. As such, 782-01’s records will remain open with the approval of The Head.

Story/Origin: Trauma of the 782-01 originates from the slimification of his daughter during the invasion of the Crimson Hunger in Divas Pass. It occurred precisely when he embraced his daughter which had been reduced to a slime, with the only remnant of herself being her cat ears.

782-01 previously harped on his inability and weakness in a world where “Titans allow him to live in the mud of their feet and openly expressed his yearning to take his daughter to a better place/do more for her/become a better role model.

As a result of Ignis’ slimifaction through the Crimson Hunger Plague Heart, Calfasio Corrupted and transformed into 782-01 “Iron Candle”, possessing the immense power of a common flame.

Over the course of the clash between the parallel Corruption of 781-08, 782-01 and The Head; the “Iron Candle” gradually lost their memories through a Corrupted Skill named – Fuel Are Memories.

It is not known whether Calfasio heard the ticking associated with [REDACTED] before Corrupting. Calfasio was successfully subjugated by the Head herself with the Three Heads of Security – (The Eye, Fang, and Claw of the Head) as witness.

Voices of the Corrupted:

“I must burn ever brightly to perish all before me. For my dearest [REDACTED]!”

“We woe. We cry. We scream. We be. We all want these flames to stop burning. But in this world, we need it more than anything else!”

“I must burn ever brightly for my dearest daughter!”

“World of titans allows us to live only in the mud of its feet.”

“I must burn ever brightly for my dearest one!”

“I am fire. My dearest ignites my passion to thrive in this dark world. I must become a flame for… them.”

“I must burn ever brightly for my dearest one!”

“There was always a flame by my side, burning ever brightly. On both my darkest days and my brightest nights. Then the flame that was born took away my beloved.”

“I must burn ever brightly to protect… who?”

“With bruises on my knees, and my ribs crushed into pieces, I fall and take my last breaths.”

“We are all candles. Destined to forgo all in the passage of time. The heat only remembered by those close enough to experience it. Could I have changed more if I were stronger? There is nothing left to hold onto…”

“Actually wait!”

“I do!”

“I have a regret!”

“That day before I left you!”

“You’re my everything.”

“Who?”

“I wish I could have told you this before I left?”

“I’m not ashamed to go this way. But I just wanted to choose my fate.”

“And… thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

“Thank you.”

Is it not strange how the Corrupted seem to have minds of their own despite everything that they are?

When cognizant beings Corrupt, do you think that a remnant of them still exists?

I like to think so.
