History Characters / ToAruMajutsuNoIndexGremlin

A new organization that emerged from the remains of WWIII that was formally introduced in New Testament 2. [[spoiler: They are a group of Magicians that are going against the Science Side, who are considered the victors of the war after Fiamma's defeat. ]]

[[spoiler: A new generation of the occult that had only started being passed down by humans once the concept of machines had been created, in that world where the winners of WorldWarIII, the Science side, had greatly spread, a type of occult that would devour it had been born. ]]

[[folder:GREMLIN]]
!!Tropes common to the organization:
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Gremlin hates and yet fears Touma so much that they have either crafted or gathered spells specifically to use against him.
* ColonyDrop: They attempted to drop Radiosonde Castle on Academy City.
* HostageSituation[=/=]IHaveYourWife: They LOVE this.
* ItsPersonal: They hold [[spoiler: Kamijou Touma]] responsible for losing everything during the war and have marked him. They went so far as to [[spoiler: level mountains and rivers to change the ley lines of the planet in order to track him down.]]
** [[spoiler: Subverted as of Volume 3 of New Testament, where it is revealed in the end that the members who have a personal grudge against Touma and the Science Side are actually a front for the real GREMLIN and have no idea of the organization's true intentions. Not much has been revealed as of yet, but apparently it has something to do with Gungnir.]]
* MeaningfulName: They called themselves GREMLIN due to the fact their magic and tactics are specifically developed to combat Touma and the Espers of Academy City, like how stories of gremlins involve the creatures disrupting technology.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: They would have caused an Ice Age that could wipe out the world if they had dropped Radiosonde Castle.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: They were willing to cause an Ice Age in order to either destroy Academy City and the Espers, or just to track down Kamijou Touma.
** And they even had the foresight to predict that there was a chance of him surviving it and left a message.
*** It's implied that they planned for the Colony Drop to fail just so that they could locate/determine the existence of Touma. It's remarked upon by [[spoiler: Kaori when she's fighting Mjölnir that the enemy seems rather apathetic and isn't opposed to destroying large portions of their own weapon during the battle, which indicates that they didn't put much stock in the attack actually succeeding.]]
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness
[[/folder]]

[[folder:One-Eyed Othinus]]

[[spoiler:One-Eyed Othinus is the one behind GREMLIN and currently holds the title of current Majin (Magic God). It's just Odin to friends.]]
----

* {{Badass}}: Without contest.
** [[spoiler: LittleMissBadass: She's a 13-14-year-old girl.]]
* [[spoiler: BlessedWithSuck / CursedWithAwesome: She has infinite potential as a Majin, however her success rate is always 50/50. While she may defeat the strongest opponents 50% of the time, she might also lose to the weakest opponents 50% of the time. She wants Gungnir to overcome this problem.]]
** [[spoiler:Funny enough, this proves to be a formidable advantage when battling Imagine Breaker, and later, the Invisible Thing; since Touma has very bad luck, it tilts the scales in her advantage, to the point where victory is deemed miraculous.]]
* [[spoiler:BigBad]]: At least for the coming volumes.
* [[spoiler:ChekhovsGun: Gungnir has been at the center of one short story, although it was a replica--what Othinus wants is ''the real deal''.]]
* EyepatchOfPower
* EyeScream: [[spoiler: She is missing an eye, as expected of Odin, and wears a patch to cover it up.]]
* [[spoiler:LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Was mentioned by Ollerus in the last line of Volume 22.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:She tricked people that were loose members of GREMLIN into doing her bidding so she and her close affiliates didn't have to show themselves.]]
* MeaningfulName:[[spoiler:Othinus is the Latin name for Odin. It is used in the book ''Gesta Danorum'', which tells Danish history using Norse Gods as characters.]]
** PropheticName:[[spoiler:Othinus symbolizes the Norse God Odin, much like Ollerus does; and from what we know, this carries over to their relationship, as that also symbolizes how Ollerus temporarily took Odin's throne--hell, Ollerus has the power of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hli%C3%B0skj%C3%A1lf Hliðskjálf]], which is the name of Odin's throne for crying out loud! But then, Odin reclaimed the throne--much like how Othinus claimed the title of Majin by stealing it from Ollerus.]]
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
* [[spoiler: {{Necromancer}}]]: [[spoiler: She is able to create Einherjar by inserting gold into corpses.]]
* NorseMythology[=/=]RuleOfSymbolism: [[spoiler:Her EvilPlan relates to crafting Gungnir, the legendary spear of Odin.]]
* [[spoiler:PhysicalGod: She's a Majin--the highest position next to ''The One Above God'' Fiamma attained briefly. Not only does she take on the weakened Fiamma and Ollerus, but also goes against Touma ''then'' the Invisible Thing.]]
* [[spoiler:PragmaticVillainy: Destroys Dáinsleif, since the end of the world would ruin her plans.]]
* [[spoiler: SamusIsAGirl]]
* TheUnfettered:[[spoiler:Consider the Radiosonde Castle incident in which entire mountains were flattened just to track Imagine Breaker, and the fact she had her puppets make Kilauea erupt so Dvergr could use it as a forge to get closer to crafting Gungir, and you've got a case in point. Don't even get started on the whole "theocratize the United States" plan.]]
* TheUsurper: [[spoiler:She stole the title of Majin from [[NiceGuy Ollerus]].]]
* [[spoiler: WindsOfDestinyChange: If she gains Gungnir, she will be able to control her success rate and change it to a 100% chance of victory, making her pretty much invincible.]]

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: [[spoiler: You would think magic based on a RagsToRiches FairyTale would be harmless? Not so fast.]]
** RuleOfSymbolism: [[spoiler: She is very agile based on how Cinderella's fairy godmother improved her dancing. She is very fast based on the pumpkin carriage driving Cinderella around. She can remotely mutilate anyone's feet that are not the same size as hers based on [[TheGirlWhoFitsThisSlipper the glass slipper fitting]]. And her weakness is of course based on how Cinderella's gifts disappear WhenTheClockStrikesTwelve.]]

Marian states that she's a true member of GREMLIN, while all those who participated in invading Hawaii were sacrificial pawns, whose actions distracted the rest of the world from GREMLIN's true objectives in Hawaii. Marian is also the one who turned Mjölnir into a cylinder, and now intends to use those same skills on Cendrillon.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Saronia A. Irivika]]

[[folder: Marian Slingeneyer]]

A Dvegr [[spoiler: and a member of the true GREMLIN.]]

** AndIMustScream: Does this to everyone she doesn't kill.
** BloodierAndGorier: Part of the reason she creates so much carnage is to get a psychological advantage over her opponents.
** CruelAndUnusualDeath: What she does to everyone she does kill. One example is when she fused both of a {{mook}}'s hands together and turned them into a faucet. Then she turned the faucet on and let him watch helplessly as all the blood drained from his body.
* CantHoldHerLiquor
* CoolSword: Dáinsleif - an incredibly dangerous weapon [[spoiler: linked to Ragnarok]] which Marian is forbidden from unsheathing.
** ArtifactOfDoom: If the blade is unsheathed completely, [[spoiler: it will trigger [[{{Gotterdammerung}} Ragnarok]].]]
** [[spoiler: EmotionBomb]]: When the blade is unsheathed slightly, [[spoiler: it causes a foe's heart to stop out of fear of what would happen if the blade was fully unsheathed... It doesn't work on Touma, even without Imagine Breaker, because [[{{Badass}} he does not fear it at all]].]]
** GravityMaster: The scabbard can be used to create a miniature black hole, which sucks things in until the wielder decides to release it as a powerful blade due to the pent up energy.

* ManInWhite
* [[spoiler: NearDeathExperience]]: [[spoiler: His field of study when he was a researcher.]]
