Sangvis Ferri

Established as a military hardware company, Sangvis Ferri entered the market with low-end hand-to-hand weapons, but soon expanded at suspicious rates after signing a joint development contract with a mysterious company, adding to its catalogue automated mortars, drones and alarm systems, and eventually becoming one of the early partners of IOP through its Ukrainian branch. At the time, SF was rapidly growing and developed an interest in the resilient ALR-52P Dolls rather than the advanced technologies of the CSD-03H, and invested large amounts of money in IOP while also offering to provide AI researchers. Despite his surprise of seeing Sangvis's interest in older models, the president of IOP Havier Witkin gladly accepted the partnership.

In 2040, amidst the rising international tensions of the Second Algerian War, Sangvis Ferri unveiled its Rippers combat Dolls model, built on the ALR-52P frame. Designed with military specs, it boasted a bulletproof casing, multifunctional helmet and could accommodate one weapon. However, the Rippers were slow and clumsy, making a poor display during the 2042 Ukrainian Civil War when the 20 first-generation units were quickly reduced to scraps by the trained militias. A second, better armored generation was deployed, but they were still too slow and allowed human enemies to take aim at their weak points.

As World War Three began in March 2045, Sangvis Ferri fell under the control of the Neo-Soviet Union's Ministry of Defense along with IOP. The ministry didn't trust combat dolls technology and both companies were only ordered transport dolls to serve on supply lines for the first two years of the war. By May 2047, manpower shortage on the frontlines convinced the ministry to order combat dolls for field testing. While IOP doubled down on the all-purpose CSD series, Sangvis Ferri used the Ripper as the base for the specialized Jaeger and Vespid models. When the United States launched an armored assault campaign in Germany, the ministry had no choice but bolster their defense lines with barely tested combat dolls. Dolls AI at the time lacked the necessary adaptability to survive autonomously on a battlefield and the SF model lacked agility, so few of the 8000 units survived the campaign, but they nevertheless crushed the armored assault with startling efficiency, convincing the ministry to invest into combat dolls. Three years later in 2050, SF and IOP models displayed vastly improved performances during Operation Tradewind, fighting alongside multi-legged assault platforms and swiftly breaking mountain defenses in Southern Italy and pressuring Rome to surrender.

Relations between SF and IOP fell through as national armies lost interest in IOP products to favor SF. Wiktin was enraged when IOP lost contracts to his own subcontractor, who used the technical documents IOP had provided, but nevertheless pushed for improving his all-purpose Tactical Dolls design. IOP would rebound later in the war when hiring former 90WISH members, and their ACD series were the most used during World War Three, with 11 730 units produced, including 2300 from Sangvis Ferri's factories. The war was overall profitable to SF due to the satisfaction of their clients.

The rivalry between SF and IOP would continue after the war when AI scientist Lycoris approached SF during business conferences to leave IOP, who refused to fund his research on autonomous AI. SF gladly accepted and hired Griffin and Kryuger PMC to escort Lycoris to their underground research labs and protect him from any retaliation by Wiktin. G&K accepted in exchange of complete access to Lycoris' future research.

In late 2054, Lycoris installed Elisa as the mainframe for computing human orders and relaying it to T-Dolls. As SF established a new Dolls manufacturing plant in a dangerous but resources-rich area, Lycoris exploited their robust manufacturing capabilities to eschew the software compatibility with a wide range of firearms supported by Persica, instead developing miniaturized particle weapons and mount them on dolls, then testing the results and iterating. Individual SF dolls had better performance as a result and their capabilities was more unified, though SF dolls were expensive to produce and Elisa suffered from lapses of consciousness Lycoris still needed to resolve.

Agent is a Sangvis Ferri Rear Command Doll in charge of liaising between her master and her Sangvis subordinates as well as logistics management. As a high-ranking unit adept at both combat and tactics, she's able to command all Dolls in combat, and they all directly answer to her. Calm and composed, she always speaks in a courteous tone to friends and foes alike. However, apart from the genuine respect she has for her master, she holds everyone else in low regard, especially Griffin.

Attire: She wears a stylized, maid outfit that serves as both a formal uniform for managing SF logistics and armor for field combat. Her appearance often includes long white hair and a cold expression, reflecting her personality.

Personality: She is stoic, rational, and holds a low opinion of humans and Griffin & Kryuger dolls, but remains fiercely loyal to her master.

Combat Style: She is an effective, high-ranking unit skilled in tactics, preferring to command other units while utilizing her own formidable firepower

Weaponry: She uses a volley of four machine guns under her maid skirt in combat, often teleporting, moving or standing across the field while attacking.

Model SP21 "Gager" is a high-ranking Sangvis Ferri Command-type Ringleader. Answering directly to Agent, her position within the SF hierarchy gives her command priority over most field combat units as well as other Ringleaders, including another Command-type Ringleader: Intruder. In Arctic Warfare, she is given the role of protecting Architect.

Gager has a straightforward personality, treating her work and position extremely seriously. She refuses to cut corners and holds herself to a code of honor, even against her enemies. Despite this, when her objectives are at risk she will prioritize them over her honor, as shown in Arctic Warfare when Architect's safety is at stake. Her weapon is a gunblade, combining the qualities of a long-range machine gun with a plasma saber for short to medium range lunges. Her special ability is the 'Quantum Sting', a move where she dashes forward and back with her plasma saber to cut down an entire row of enemies within the blink of an eye.

Appearance: Gager is a small and young Sangvis Ferri elite T-Doll, featuring a highly advanced, human-like appearance typical of Ringleaders. She possesses a stern, cool, and businesslike demeanor, often appearing professional in both speech and action.

Personality: She is straightforward, honorable, and disciplined, refusing to cut corners in her duty. While she speaks courteously but haughtily, she holds herself to a strict code of honor, even against her enemies.

The first Command-type Ringleader the player encounters, Intruder is typically assigned under Gager. Her position within Sangvis Ferri allows her to command a fairly sizeable force and grants her command priority over Combat-type Ringleaders.

Intruder appears gentle, soft spoken and kind, to both friends and foes. However those who interact with her can often feel an empty void behind her kind facade, to the point where her subordinate Ringleader Hunter expressed repulsiveness towards Intruder out of fear. This reaction appears warranted, as Intruder later discards her subordinate as a pawn when Hunter's usefulness finally runs out. Intruder is also seen during the Rabbit Hunt event, forcing Elphelt to fight for Sangvis Ferri only to abandon her when Elphelt fails to defeat the player. She enjoys screen plays and dramas left by humans, perhaps she is trying to find a fitting, kinder persona for herself through drama plays, many of her quotes reflects her interest in drama.

Intruder is similar to Gager both in terms of command ability and combat style, specializing in supporting her troops with long to ultra range attacks, while remain somewhat capable of defending herself in close quarters. The other end of her weapon is a rapid-firing multi-barrelled gun for close engagements.

Combat-Oriented and possesses extremely long-range pinpoint sniping capability. She was only produced after the "Butterfly Incident", with Elisa as her direct superior. Her abilities mean she does not need to physically show up in person to do her job, so she usually stays in the Sangvis Ferri headquarters and bullies Judge for her own amusement. Her graceful smile hides arrogance and mystery. She is extremely mentally unstable and is very egotistical. In battle she reveals a maniacal, uncontrollable side. In addition, she possesses fearsome destructive power and will often disregard her allies safety. Fortunately she does not normally appear in direct combat.

Command-oriented and responsible for Sangvis Ferri HQ's defense and security systems. She is the Commander's bodyguard and will only listen to his personal orders. She was a doll built after the "Butterfly Incident". Having to face Dreamer everyday gives her a headache. Stern and old-fashioned, she possesses a soldier's dignity and bearing.

Personality: She is described as a "callous" yet impulsive figure, preferring fair fights over bullying the weak.

Mobile Combat Doll, Model SP721

A combat-type ringleader of Sangvis Ferri answering directly to Intruder or Gager. Agile and intelligent, Hunter is most suitable for harassing and pursuing enemies in combat and is typically found in solo combat operations. Like most combat-type ringleaders, Hunter cannot command as many normal SF units as command-type ringleaders such as Scarecrow and Executioner, and so often works in tandem with them to unleash her higher potential.

She prefers to corner her enemies, utilizing various methods to capture them alive. She's very deliberate and arrogant when fighting G&K, and shuns the use of underhanded methods.

Her twin handguns are her signature weapons, giving her an optimal balance of speed and accuracy. In a pinch, her handguns are capable of short bursts of rapid fire, perforating a single target with a flurry of shots.

She holds no enmity towards Griffin forces and is only minimally obedient to Sangvis Ferri orders. However, she is extremely passionate about explosions and destroying things, so she remains a very dangerous opponent.

She is the second Ringleader to carry a large size multi-weapon, similar to Gager, the other Ringleader she is partnered with...

She was only produced BEFORE the "Butterfly Incident", and is adept at both high-speed and destructive operations. Her firepower has received tremendous upgrades. She is arrogant and showy, and enjoys appearing stylish. She sticks to her unique aesthetic tastes and considers all Griffin dolls to be dull and lacking in personality, and thus believes they should be destroyed. She possess top-notch destructive power, and destructive urges to match.

Ouroboros was created by ??? before the Butterfly Incident by pitting thousands of AIs against each others in simulated battles. Ouroboros was the only personality to survive in the end. Ouroboros survived the first seven days, when only the few strongest remained and a temporary truce was called. Ouroboros had put on a ferocious front and was considered the stronger of the group, but one of the other AIs, Jormungandr, had noticed that she had actually survived by avoiding battle and was now cowering in fear. On the 27th day, only Ouroboros and Jormundangr remained. Jormungandr left herself open so Ouroboros could kill her with a surprise attack to spite her: by being the only survivor, Ouroboros would be forced to expose her weakness in the real world and face a failure worse than disappearing in the simulation. Ouroboros found the real world to not have been worth the effort she made to survive and when about to be talked down by Agent, she often retreated to the deep recesses of her mind where she kept a simulated version of Jormundangr. In the events of My Devil's Frontline, Ouroboros used SMG Jashin-chan's powers to give form to her memories of Jormungandr and beat her in a true battle to prove her worth.

This origin gave her a perfectionist and ruthless personality dedicated to achieving her own ends, including self-preservation. She displays a mask of calmness, but is in fact quite arrogant. While Ouroboros excels at short-ranged assaults and defense battles due to her intelligence and heavy firepower, she lacks real combat experience and her unstable experimental AI makes her difficult to control, unpredictable and thus dangerous for both her enemies and allies.

Special Operations Doll, Model SP7C

Skilled in myriad tactics, and particularly well-versed in interrogation. She is one of Sangvis Ferri's elite operators and is occasionally paired with Destroyer. Egomaniacal, haughty, and cruel, she is ruthless in achieving her goals. She has sadistic tendencies and views Griffin dolls as toys to satisfy her desires, but is mentally mature and is willing to go the extra mile for her Sangvis Ferri comrades. Her primary armament consists of a pair of gunblades, allowing her to fulfill the same role as Hunter while giving her an edge in melee combat.

She feels superior to Griffin dolls, who she feels are rich in emotion, but only know how to obey orders.

Scarecrow is a Model SP65 Pioneer Reconnaissance Doll, apt at collecting and analyzing information but less effective than other ringleaders in combat and overall less ranked. She considers herself superior to I.O.P. Dolls due to their simpler Neural Clouds. She has a serious and rational mind, dedicated to her duties and rejecting sentimentality. She speaks with a sharp tongue but her adjutant dialogues hint that she doesn't always intend for her words to hurt others and is left alone because of this.

Scarecrow is often partnered with Executioner, who slightly outranks her but has expressed interest in getting to know her better and mentions her in her adjutant quotes. In Scarecrows' own adjutant quotes she asks not to be put in the same repair bay as Executioner because she will not let her in peace.
