History Characters / InfinityTrainSeekerOfCrocusInfinityTrain

* PosthumousCharacter: He entered the Train around fifty years prior and has passed on by the time ''Seeker of Crocus'' starts.
* SuperpowerLottery: He gained the bond of a powerful shadow demon and ''Orchid Observer'' mentions he was capable of using a magical ability known as "Chord", being the last known wielder of it.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: When Armand met with Nal, he could be granted any wish. Armand was bullied and any decent person could've used these powers to enact revenge. Instead, he asked Nal for a friend.

-->'''Appears in:''' Seeker of Crocus (Debut) | Orchid Observer (Mentioned)

** Simon tells the Cat the story of his next door neighbor, [[VideoGame/WhatRemainsOfEdithFinch Edith Finch]]. [[spoiler:He also has to learn from his mother that she died some years prior to the start of Crocus and that he could've seen her if he knew the truth of the Train, making him realize that he's been going on a pointless crusade and that if he doesn't stop now, then he and the Apex are all going to die from the Cage of Flauros and never see their families again.]]

** Grace just wants to be noticed; she's now remembered as the one who killed Utahoshi and for being a demon that needs to be exterminated ASAP, something that ''deeply'' annoys her.
** Grace screams at her mother in a phone call that she'd rather stay with the Apex then come back home. [[spoiler:Cecilia then announces that fine, Grace is now disowned and has no home to return to.]]

* HiddenDepths: Implied; Grace asks Simon to translate the Noir Princess's lines (which are in French), meaning he has some knowledge of it.

* MortalityPhobia: After Simon heard the story of how Edith Finch's older brother died by ''getting his head sliced off in a salmon cannery'', he started screaming how he didn't want to die.

* BrokenSystemDogmatic: Grace has been stuck on her own fantasy of how the train works that, even when multiple proof appears that it's not as usable as she thinks it is, or that it's even how the train ''actually'' works, she still holds onto the belief that it works. Simon, by contrast, slowly realizes that the system doesn't really work and hopes to change it, or at least get the Apex out before Silent Hill eats them alive.

A hacker found in the Cyberchase Car who has a message to share with the Gestalt.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He nearly got the Gestalt in trouble because he bricked their phones just before they could enter Horrorland, meaning they can't call for help.

** He considers Ryoken putting a cap on Pandor's program, which resets when Pandor strays too far from programming, to be disgusting... When this is ''the exact same thing'' he's doing to Yusaku, under ''much'' worse circumstances (Keeping him from getting His number down to zero, and thus work on his issues, just so Ai can feel happy.)

* PunnyName: His name can mean "Love" in Japanese, it's short for '''A'''rtificial '''I'''ntelligence, and Yusaku first met him when he was an ''eye''.

* {{Troll}}: Gets a kick out of pissing off Specter, particularly when he mocks Lampetia for having a single eye.

->'''Appears in:''' Seeker of Crocus (First appearance: The Cyan Desert Car)

* RuleOfSymbolism: His number is ''3000'', which is the attack strength of the Blue Eyes White Dragon.
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: A genius CEO who plays chess. Chloe admits that she completely lost to him in a round.

* DecompositeCharacter: ''Blossoming Trail'' Chloe was compared to [[WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall Wirt]] but many of Wirt's traits go back to Alec: being anxious about the unknown, being good at writing (Wirt was a poet), and eventually learning to not let the darkness get him down.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Crossed paths with Alighieri, to the point that Buné is in the know of that encounter. Madame Doom in the Horrorland Car also brings up some of the adventures as well.

* AnimalMotifs: Serpents. He has a purple-black serpent tattoo on his left shoulder, Gladion finds his diary after noting a symbol of a snake wrapped around a crown, and his signature weapon was a knife whose handle looks like a serpent..

* HeroOfAnotherStory: He got on the Train and entered a large grassy field with goblin villages alongside his Wartortle, and would later be in possession of an artifact so powerful it had the power to bring either creation or destruction. His journals were left in the possession of Wakana Himika when he returned to his homeworld. "Firefly Funhouse Car" reveals he is responsible for the origins of the Horrorland Car and arrived at least half a century before ''Crocus'' starts.

* NightmareFetishist: He had a Covenant and is the creator of the Horrorland Car.

* RedBaron: "Demon Researcher".

* SmallRoleBigImpact: The universe where Colette resides from wouldn't have that much knowledge of the Infinity Train without his journals.
* SpearCounterpart: He's a male adult version of Chloe Cerise due to them being prolific writers, a RedBaron associated with a demon, and a love of nightmarish things.

* ActionSurvivor: His journal entries imply he was initially this, given that the only other partner he had at the time was a Wartortle. He would eventually outgrow it if the rumors of him making a covenant are true.

* {{Irony}}: He's known to be a prolific writer but he absolutely ''sucked'' at word puzzles like hangman, anagrams, crosswords, etc.

* SpearCounterpart: He's a male adult version of Chloe Cerise due to them having a RedBaron associated with a demon and having a love of nightmarish things.

* {{Troll}}: Gets a kick out of pissing off Specter.

* FamilyThemeNaming: '''Al'''ec Cerise and his great-grandson '''Al'''drich Cerise.

* PosthumousCharacter: He's already dead by the time the Crocusverse is in swing, with all that's left of him are his journals and a portrait of him.

* SpearCounterpart: He's a male adult version of Chloe Cerise due to them having a RedBaron associated with a Demon and having a love of nightmarish things.

A man with a turtle with fluffy ears that once entered the Infinity Train around fifty years ago. He's the great-great-grandfather of Colette Cadeiux (real name: Chloe Cerise).

* ActionSurvivor: His journal entries imply he was initially this, given that the only other partner he had at the time was a Wartortle.

* DistinguishingMark: For some odd reason, he had a purple/black Ekans tattoo on his left shoulder. A similar mark is on his great-granddaughter's shoulder.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: He got on the Train and entered a large grassy field with goblin villages alongside his Wartortle, and apparently was in possession of an artifact so powerful it had the power to bring either creation or destruction. His journals were left in the possession of Wakana Himika when he returned to his homeworld. "Firefly Funhouse Car" reveals he is responsible for the origins of the Horrorland Car and arrived at least half a century before ''Crocus'' starts.

* WalkingSpoiler: It's not that he has any spoilers, but it's how he connects to Colette Cadieux that is the huge twist.

* AmbiguouslyRelated: He shares the (real) name as [[spoiler:Asher]] but what relationship they have is unknown.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her mother had a few screws loose and Sei found her at home one day with a knife in her chest. Instead of calling the hospital to do something about it, she just watched as her mom bled out.
* FemalesAreInnocent: Out of all the females in the Palimpsest Car that are either indirectly or directly involved with the chaos, she's the innocent one of them all. She didn't cause the war in Palimpsest, she wasn't selfishly taking control of a Train for her personal issues, and she doesn't lash out at others. Out of six women shown -- Cassimira, Ululiro, Amelia, Chloe, November and herself -- she's the most mentally stable and willing to move forward with her life when the time is right.

* LastNameBasis: Downplayed since she's using Japanese naming structure with Amelia calling her "Amaya" before Sei corrects her.

* AmbiguoslyBi: She had an affair with Casimira but she's split up and is now working alongside Ludovico. This is actually in line with the original novel since Ludovido decides to pursue a relationship with November and that in it's not uncommon for people to sleep with those of either gender to enter Palimpsest in the first place.

* HeroesWantRedheads: He crushes on [[FieryRedhead Chloe]] for being such a badass and the two have a date after they stop Indigo.
