Chrollo Lucilfer

Chrollo Lucilfer is the founder, leader, and member #0 of the Phantom Troupe, and he served as the main antagonist of the Yorknew City arc. His physical strength ranked seventh among the group. Gender - male Age - 26 Height - 177 cm Weight - 68 kg Blood type - AB Nen type - Specialization Abilities - Skill Hunter

Chrollo is a young man with black hair and gray eyes. Two of his distinguishing features are the cross-shaped tattoo on his forehead and a pair of orb-shaped earrings. He is usually seen wearing a dark purple coat that has white fur on the collar and wrists, unbuttoned to reveal his muscular physique. The coat is imprinted with a golden St. Peter's Cross on the back. Prior to the foundation of the Phantom Troupe, Chrollo neither wore his trademark coat nor combed back his hair. His spider tattoo has the number 0 on the spider's abdomen, but the tattoo location has yet to be revealed.

Chrollo is calm, intelligent, and charismatic, as he seems to be a born leader and able to hold the Troupe together despite the volatile personalities of its members. While he is a very capable strategist, Chrollo is also very confident in his own fighting abilities as well as in those of the other members of the Spider. He always has at least two people with him, which is why Hisoka found it so difficult to fight him. After he has admired the items that he targeted and acquired, Chrollo sells them all. It is also stated that Chrollo likes antique books. Unflinching and unshakable, he is also an observer of human nature. However, by his own claim, he sees no difference between a puppet and a person. To Chrollo, the Troupe is more important than his own life. He once stated that the survival of the group comes before the well-being of the leader, stressing that the head of the Spider is just another limb that can be sacrificed for the survival of the whole. In order to prevent their negative fortunes from coming true, Chrollo ordered the Troupe members to stay close and to assist one another. The only people Chrollo seems to care about are his fellow Troupe members. Like the other Troupe members, Chrollo is cold-blooded, ruthless, and not above inhuman mass murder, most notably when he brutally massacred the Kurta Clan alongside his teammates. In addition, his use of Indoor Fish on an assassin reflects his apathetic nature towards his enemies. The gruesome murder of their dear friend Sarasa and their thirst for revenge against the perpetrators have desensitized him to such atrocities. There is also an implied hostility between Chrollo and Silva Zoldyck, most likely stemming from their previous encounter after Silva's killing of a Troupe member. While kidnapped, Chrollo also proved to be quite provocative and sinister towards Kurapika.

Chrollo is a skilled actor and quite manipulative, as shown when he met Neon Nostrade and "befriended" her to steal her fortune-telling ability. During that time, he presented himself as an amiable and helpful man, always enthusiastic and smiling, who also displayed curiosity. However, Chrollo only intended to learn about Neon's ability to fulfill one of the conditions needed to steal it. Chrollo, growing up in Meteor City, was influenced by the conditions there, sharing remarkable bonds that have been described as "thinner than water, and yet thicker than blood". This was also proven by the fact that the Phantom Troupe is a major asset in the defense of the city. Chrollo is shown to have been emotional, caring, and bright as a child. He also always brought fresh flowers for the graves of children in church. Father Lisores comments to a Meteor City elder that he sees much promise in Chrollo because of his spirit and original ideas.

Chrollo originated from Meteor City, a junkyard city inhabited by outcasts. People who live there do not exist in any official records, and the existence of the city itself is known to a very few people. One day, Chrollo, who was about eleven years old, along with Franklin and Shalnark, found a new VHS tape in one of the garbage dumps. They started running with the tape, tossing it from hand to hand, which Machi saw. She then reports this to Uvogin, who gets in the boys' way. Uvo knocks out Shalnark as Franklin returns the tape to Chrollo, who escapes using the opportunity. Then, Phinks and Feitan cut off Chrollo's path on a motorbike. Chrollo gives them back the tape, but it turns out that he outsmarted them, and it was a Gelman language course tape found sometime earlier, and he hid the newly found tape under his shirt. Chrollo then goes to the church, where he has a short conversation with Father Lisores. After that, he visits the AV room, where he meets Pakunoda. Together, they play the tape in a VCR, which is a recording of the movie Power Cleaners in a foreign language. Chrollo decides to translate the film's content and create dubbing with his friends. He asks Pakunoda to talk Sheila and Sarasa into it. After a short while, Chrollo manages to finish the script, after which the four friends start recording.

After the recordings are finished, the prepared film is shown in the church. Lots of kids from Meteor City show up. The first to approach Chrollo, even before the show, is Uvogin. He tells him that they need to talk after the show is over. Phinks then arrives with dubious intentions, but is distracted by Sarasa. Sheila notes that as long as Chrollo is protected by the youngest of the children, Sarasa, he is safe. The show begins. All the children seem to be delighted, but at some point the sound in the recording stops working. While Uvogin makes fun of Chrollo's problems, Chrollo decides to do live voices, standing on stage and using a microphone. Pakunoda, Sheila and Sarasa join him. On stage, Chrollo imitates a multitude of characters, not only vocally but also physically. The children are most impressed by the role of the villain, in which Lucilfer's face shows unprecedented emotions. After the show ends, Uvogin is delighted and asks for a chance to voice the villain in the next taping. The children form a dubbing group consisting of: Chrollo, Uvogin, Sheila, Sarasa, Nobunaga, Feitan, Phinks, Shalnark, Pakunoda, and Franklin. Machi is also with them, but she doesn't like any of the available roles. In the near future, the group is tightening ties and spending time rehearsing, writing scripts and presenting new episodes on stage. We see them after some time when the group tries to get Machi to participate in the show, but she only considers the role of the villain. The group tries to find a solution, but they notice that they don't have enough actors and they should look for new ones. They also consider a name for themselves and choose the name "Troupe". They are going to add a second term to it, but they are not sure what it should be yet. Chrollo and Uvogin have a short chat in which the latter states that he has found his purpose, which is to travel with Chrollo, putting on shows, and playing the role of the best villain in the world.

One day, Sarasa didn't show up at the show. The troupe learned that she had not been seen since yesterday. Most of the children watching the Troupe's shows decided to help with the search. Chrollo paired up with Uvogin, and after a long time of searching, they came up with the idea of ​​checking out the Uga Forest. They gathered the other members and they all went into the forest together. There they found the scene of the crime, the instruments of torture, a note left behind and a sack hanging from a tree. Chrollo was the only one who could read the contents of the note, but he chose not to share it with the others. When Uvogin took the sack from the tree, Chrollo decided to check the contents. It turned out that Sarasa's destroyed body was inside. Sometime later, Chrollo attends Sarasa's funeral, after which he talks to Uvogin about their future. He asks him to wait three years, in which he will be able to get the necessary funds to carry out his plan, which consists in creating a website that brings together criminals. During the conversation, they are joined by the other members of the Troupe, except for Sheila, who decides to leave the group. Each of the other members chose Chrollo as the leader of the group, which will be formed in three years. Around three years later, being about the age of fourteen, Chrollo founded the Phantom Troupe, along with Franklin, Uvogin, Machi, Pakunoda, Feitan, Nobunaga, and Shalnark. Then, sometime later, Chrollo fought Silva Zoldyck before their encounter in the Cemetery Building. It is unknown when and what the exact circumstances were. As the leader of the troupe, he took part in the massacre of the Kurta Clan.

Ben's Knife: Chrollo is in possession of one of the famous Ben's knives, forged in Delon's central period. It has a black hilt with a slightly curved knuckle guard, similar to a D guard. Near the guard, the blade branches in two segments. The central one is the longest. It ends up with a sharp arrow point. The second segment is curved and serves as the edge of the knife. Its tip almost touches one of the central segments. A third segment acts as the back of the blade. It is connected to the others through two horizontal bars. Ben's knives are renowned for their exceptional sharpness, which allowed Chrollo to cut Silva's skin, a feat that led the assassin to recognize the weapon's quality. Silva also judged from the blade's shape that it was toxic. The toxin was so powerful, in fact, that 0.1 mg could paralyze a whale. Chrollo concealed it in a curved scabbard under his clothes.

As the leader of the Phantom Troupe and a thief with a Class-A bounty, Chrollo is an exceptional fighter and revered as the strongest by most of its members. Machi ranks him cleanly above Hisoka, who has consistently desired a fight against the Troupe's leader far more than any other Spider. However, Chrollo tends to hold back if his opponent possesses an ability that interests him so that he can steal it. Chrollo's fighting style is adaptable and combines speed with deadly precision. He is able to kill skilled assassins with just a pen, sometimes even remaining concealed with Zetsu, not even using Nen as a result. Chrollo is also endowed with extraordinary strategic abilities as well as astounding strength of mind and willpower, even by the standards of the Troupe. Enhanced Strength: Chrollo ranked seventh in arm-wrestling among the Troupe. Assassin A stated that he could easily decapitate Neon if he wanted to. He can pierce through skulls with an ordinary pen. He lifted large pieces of debris with a single hand. He is also capable of lifting adult males and throwing them over a distance of multiple meters using only one arm and while standing on top of a balcony. Immense Speed ​​and Reflexes: Chrollo was able to fight Silva and Zeno at the same time, avoiding or blocking their powerful attacks effectively. According to Pakunoda, he would have no trouble dodging an attack lasting 0.2 seconds. Enhanced Agility: Chrollo can run on the sides of buildings, and easily jump horizontally from one to another.

Genius-level Intellect: Despite his young age, Chrollo is the leader of the infamous Phantom Troupe. Even when he was a child, he was proficient in at least three languages, and, more impressively, the elders governing Meteor City valued his input and considered him capable of solving the problems plaguing their community. Shortly thereafter, he would indeed go on to influence the city's politics after predicting the worldwide changes that the ascent of the internet would produce. His plans usually go smoothly, and he has shown himself to be both knowledgeable and intuitive.

Chrollo is a Specialist. His talent for Nen is judged prodigious not only for his age but even by the standards of masters in the discipline. His Zetsu was noted by Silva to be flawless, allowing him to sneak up on his opponent and kill them without leaving the faintest trace of bloodlust, although Hisoka was able to sense it an instant on at least one occasion. Like other skilled Nen users, he is capable of maintaining a state of Ten at all times. His prolonged use of Ren in confrontations suggests that he can use Ken as well. He also has knowledge of Gyo. Chrollo appears to be particularly versatile in Hatsu, able to employ numerous stolen abilities across different Nen types in battle to great effect and has even utilized multiple Nen abilities simultaneously, in turn demonstrating his copious aura reserve. It is currently unknown whether this is entirely due to his skills, or if Skill Hunter allows him to mimic the proficiency of the ability's original owner.
