+http://guardian.leamonde.net/shrines/krelian/ \\
-Having a grasp of the convoluted relationships between others (the Ministry and
+https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters_of_Xenogears#Krelian
-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
-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."
