 +Krelian
 +As the true ruler of Solaris, he is the person who commands both Emperor Cain and
 +the Gazel Ministry. Having researched nanotechnology, he has lived since 500 years
 +ago using life extension treatments.
 +Having a grasp of the convoluted relationships between others (the Ministry and
 +Miang, the Contact and Antitype and such) and the true form of Deus, he also knows
 +the true objective of the imprisoned Wave Existence that advented into Zohar. Due to
 +the tragedy of 500 years ago, he had the desire to "create God, reaching the place of
 +God" and when he knew that the gods of the world were Deus and the Wave
 +Existence, he ascended to Solaris to accelerate the plan for the revival of Deus. He
 +contacted Miang, and acknowledged their mutual goal. At Miang's instruction, he
 +proceeded to do such things as giving life extension treatments to Emperor Cain and
 +turning the Gazel Ministry into data. Taking the Ministry in hand, he advanced the
 +science of Solaris and accelerated the M Plan. He placed the Limiters and such into
 +both the people of Shevat and the surface dwellers.
 +Krelian personally named the plan to resurrect Deus 'Project Noah', and until the last
 +seeks to bring this about. The heart of him who seeks the land of god is usually filled
 +with thoughts of Sophia.
 +* Life extension treatments
 +Krelian is not like Fei, Elly or Miang, those historically special persons who have
 +continued through 10,000 years. Krelian is one of the human beings from 500 years
 +ago who has continued to live into the present day due to 'life extension treatments'
 +he gave himself. Realizing that the resurrection of Deus would not take place for
 +several hundred years, Krelian stopped the aging process in his body so as to make it
 +to the day of resurrection. Also, he gave these same treatments to the wasted body
 +of Cain, Shevat's Zephyr, and on through its Elders. This is thought to be the extent of
 +Solaris' use of nanotechnology.
 +The use of the treatments in Shevat's case is his personal revenge for their betrayal
 +of Nisan during the Great War 500 years ago. Also, this was meant to isolate Shevat,
 +which has the surface world's most advanced technology from the people of the
 +surface.
 +* Nanotechnology
 +500 years ago, when Krelian was the leader of the Nisan Monastery Army, he learned
 +nanotechnology from teacher Taura Melchior of Shevat. Nanotechnology had been
 +analyzed and advanced to its highest point 4000 years ago by Zeboim from the
 +Colony ship civilization, and at that time was built upon by the doctor, Kim, at the
 +Federal hospital. Melchior had obtained a part of Kim's thesis that was excavated
 +from old ruins, and revived nanotechnology by analyzing this. Having learned this
 +technology from Melchior, Krelian deeply pursued the advancement of Solaris'
 +knowledge and science.
 +* Relationship with the Gazel Ministry
 +Almost all the members of the Gazel Ministry were killed in the war 500 years ago.
 +Using a SOL-9000 computer, Krelian revived 8 members as data containing their
 +memories. Due to the selfish goal of the Ministry, they planned actively for the
 +resurrection of Deus. Krelian used the Ministry for his own ends in his solitary pursuit
 +pf Project Noah. It was for the purpose of limiting the Ministry that he activated the
 +"Gaetia Key" needed for the resurrection of Deus. While on the surface, his goals
 +appeared the same, this was part of a deeper plan of Krelian's.
 +The tragedy 500 years ago that lead to "God"
 +Before the outbreak of the Solaris War, Krelian accepted the post as Mother Sophia's
 +protector when he became leader of the Monastery Army. Like Lacan, Krelian was
 +also deeply in love with Sophia. However, taking note of Sophia's feelings for Lacan,
 +Krelian stood his ground and felt anger at Lacan who tried to escape from her love.
 +When Sophia died because of Shevat's betrayal, Krelian despaired of both "God
 +(belief)" and human beings. The teaching of Sophia that 'faith grows from within',
 +changed in him to the belief that "if God doesn't exist, I'll create it with my own
 +hands!"
 +Krelian (500 years ago)
 +Born as an illegitimate child, with the death of his mother, Elazaru,
 +he became solitary all his life. He joined the Military Army of the
 +Nimrod Empire, the main supporter of the Nisan sect. Mastering
 +many fighting weapons, at last he took the position of leader of the
 +Army. His cold and cruel demeanor caused terror in the ranks.
 +Krelian took on the job as leader of the team that would carry out the assassination
 +at Penuel Monastery as planned by the Nimrod Emperor Kusel. Krelian met Sophia at
 +the time of the attack on the Monastery, and he fled, taking her away with him. 7
 +years later, he returned to Nisan with Sophia, becoming the leader of a newly
 +organized Monastery Army.
 +* 'Wave Existence'
 +All can be known about the Deus System from the data of the 'Tree of Raziel'. When
 +Fei and the others get this data from Raziel during the story, they are unable to get
 +any further information concerning Zohar because of interference by Krelian. Most
 +likely the data concerning Zohar, the entity of the 'Wave Existence' must be contained
 +there in some form. Krelian analyzes this information and wonders if contact with the
 +will of a higher "God" than Deus might not be possible. The thought to 'create God'
 +that resulted from the death of Sophia was realized in the plan to resurrect Deus.
 +However, having discovered within it the presence of the 'Wave Existence', Krelian's
 +own god was not Deus, but the 'Wave Existence' he had uncovered. And so, knowing
 +he would need to resurrect Deus so as to enable the Wave Existence to return to its
 +own higher dimension, he determined not to "resurrect God", but to "go to the place
 +of God".
 +* M Plan
 +RELATED CHARACTERS
 +Richard (Xenosaga)
 +Apart from sharing facial similarities, they
 +both have the same seiyuu (japanese
 +voice actor) - Okiayu Ryoutarou. It is
 +thought that if two characters share the
 +same seiyuu then they might be spiritually
 +related, meaning Krelian could be a
 +reincarnation of Richard in the greater
 +'Xenoverse'. Both characters are deeply
 +affected by loss, Richard says that if
 +Hermann dies and leaves him behind he
 +will never forgive him. When Krelian lost
 +Sophia he lost all faith in God, love, and
 +Humankind. Both have similar
 +temperaments, same ennea-type, and
 +although we never see Krelian fight, he
 +used to fight using a sword just like
 +Richard. Neither character seems to have
 +a last name.
 +MIRRORED CHARACTERS
 +Kevin Winnicot (Xenosaga)
 +Apart from sharing the same haircolor as
 +younger Krelian, Kevin shares a great deal
 +of similarity to Krelian. Both have similar
 +Enneagram personality type, and both are
 +scientists working alongside "god beings"
 +behind the scenes. Both characters
 +studied under a great scientist, but
 +discarded their teacher.
 +Wilhelm (Xenosaga)
 +Wilhelm and Krelian are often compared
 +to each other as they are the main
 +antagonists/'solution makers' working in
 +secret while taking it upon themselves to
 +do what they consider to be the best
 +course for Humankind. Both have similar
 +Ennea-type, although their variants differ.
 +The M (Malakh) Plan being accelerated by the Gazel Ministry, the primary goal is the
 +creation of an army of angels -Seraph- for the support of God in the coming day of
 +Deus' resurrection. With the construction of Merkava, the main basis for the Angels is
 +'created human types (Sufradi)', and many experiments are carried out in the Soylent
 +Systems.
 +From the time Krelian entered Solaris 500 years ago, he planned the acceleration of
 +the M Plan with Miang. Having continued on down through the ages, this present day
 +sees the 5th stage of the plan (by this measure, Zeboim was the 3rd stage). The result
 +of Krelian's research up until now, using his own devised nanotechnology are the
 +Limiters (Seals) and the present Soylent facilities, memory cubes and humans fusing
 +with Gears, all such systems as these were created by him.
 +* To the land of "God"
 +Krelian also was born 500 years ago as one of the 'humans' who was one of the
 +descendants of the founding Animus. Researching nanotechnology, even though he
 +is the only one that understands "the will of God", unlike Fei and Elly, he has not
 +continued from the beginning tied up with a special "fate". When Krelian merges with
 +Deus "Elly", he enters the higher dimension along with the Wave Existence, achieving
 +all this by his own power alone. At last he analyzes and understands the "love" that
 +Sophia had explained, and is the reason his will fades before her stubborn love.
 +At the time he sets out for the place of God, he leaves with the words, "I envy you
 +two...". Krelian saw the original love of Fei and Elly that they desired on their own, and
 +that this was human will.
 +* Enneagram Type
 +According to Enneagram personality assessment, Krelian is classified as a type 5
 +(detached / analytical / extreme / convention-breaker). People of this type drift
 +between two extremes for every phenomenon. Thought and action. Longing toward
 +the world that surrounds themselves, and fear of it. Unity with others, and rejection
 +of them. Love and hate. Joy and anger. Lifelong hope and pure futility. Attachment to
 +life and abandonment of it. When a type 5 is tortured by nihilistic feelings and
 +becomes unhealthy toward the extreme end of the scale, he simplifies everything,
 +forcing concepts on phenomena, and in order to protect himself, he rejects the world
 +and all humans living there. He begins to think that this lonely darkness is life itself.
 +And that life is nothing but a meaningless void. In the case of Krelian, the attachment
 +he had to both Sophia and "God" were the only things that seemingly gave his life
 +meaning, due to his orphaned background and the war. While there is no doubt that
 +Krelian felt misanthropy towards human beings in the story, at the time he lived in a
 +world with Sophia, he had cared for humans.
 +"Lacan, look at this. I finally completed it. This will save people's lives. Isn't that right,
 +Melchior?"
 +- Krelian 500 years ago
 +"I came to understand after becoming one with Krelian... His heart was so full of sadness.
 +That is why he desired for he and I to become one with God... Because that would be the
 +return to the beginning of everything... He told me... "You should be with him..." That is
 +what he said... You see... He already knew! Yes, he already knew... how I felt, how you felt...
 +But there was nothing we or he could do... He had no choice but to go forward... even if it
 +meant he lost all feelings, lost everything that was human! For all humankind's sake...
 +There was no going back... Even looking back held too many memories... And he would
 +have... just wanted to go back... Even though he couldn't... So please forgive him... Krelian
 +loved people more than anyone else..."
 +- Elly
 +Krelian is drifting between the two extremes of love and hate, and is further classified
 +as a Sexual variant type 5. The sexual instinct is related to the love of other and
 +giving, which tend to go against the avaricious nature of type 5, making the Sexual 5
 +an unusual 5. This subtype of 5 is passionate about the one person, and we see how
 +passionate Krelian is about Sophia (Elly). They open only to a few people in their life
 +and confidants are the few with whom they share an understanding. They're the
 +private advisor, engaged in secret love affairs. Bonds of special connection are
 +mental treasures for this subtype, they can be privately reviewed and imaginatively
 +recreated, so Krelian's love for Sophia may have been sealed in that state for eternity
 +after she died. These bonds are meaningful not only because they are few and far
 +between but because they are embedded in the mind. Expressing love directly is not
 +very important to this subtype. Love is trust and confidence. More assertive and
 +more feelingful than other 5s. The ultimate value in one person - a supreme love.
 +Longing for lost love leads to total isolation - can be dangerous in lower levels. They
 +would love to trust people but feel they simply cannot risk it.
 +"Karellen" was Takahashi's choice - he wanted to name a character after his favorite
 +character in Childhood's End, which is (surprise) Karellen. The two characters are very
 +similar, but Krelian manages to do what Karellen didn't, so I wonder sometimes if the
 +character was Takahashi's way of giving him what he wanted most. It's not unheard of -
 +that has inspired both fan fiction and references like this elsewhere, I think.
 +This information (minus speculation) was given to us by Clio Saga on her board."
 +- Myaru
 +"Tanaka-kun struggled very hard to design this prominent good looking character. That's
 +because the design was particularly hard. The head band became a motif of Krelian
 +(especially during his rampaging days before meeting Sophia) and is a symbol in the
 +western culture of holiness."
 +- Tetsuya Takahashi
 +Notes:
 +Krelian was written by Tetsuya Takahashi.
 +Krelian is voiced by Okiayu Ryotaro (JP ver) and Cam Clarke (NA ver).
 +Krelian was created by Tetsuya Takahashi based on his favorite character 'Karellen'
 +from the book Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke. 'Karellen' was also Krelian's name
 +in the japanese version.

 +Quotes:
 +"What may be an eternity to man is but a moment to a god. I have no need for hesitation."
 +"Sophia first showed me that books are the best way to calm the heart..."
 +"Good. You are indeed my precious little bird."
 +"If God doesn't exist in our world, then...I will create God with my own hands!"
 +"What meaning can be found in living out such a short existence... hurting others, hurting
 +yourself, grinding one another down... only to inevitably die and return to dust?"
 +"Man cannot associate with others without first deceiving themselves. That is the way that
 +they were created."
