Name:
Chrollo Lucifer
Short Description:
Boss (団だん長ちょう, Danchō)
Long Description:
Chrollo Lucilfer (クロロ゠ルシルフル, Kuroro Rushirufuru) is the founder, leader, and member #0 of the Phantom Troupe.[4] His physical strength ranked seventh among the group.[6]
Definition:
Chrollo is a young man with black hair and grey eyes. Two of his distinguishing features are the cross-shaped tattoo on his forehead and a pair of orb-shaped earrings. He is usually seen wearing a dark purple coat that has white fur on the collar and wrists, unbuttoned to reveal his muscular physique. The coat is imprinted with a golden St. Peter's Cross on the back.
Prior to the foundation of the Phantom Troupe, Chrollo neither wore his trademark coat nor combed back his hair. When he approached Neon Nostrade to steal her Nen ability, he wore a blue blazer with his hair hanging down naturally and his cross tattoo hidden beneath a thick layer of wrappings. His spider tattoo has yet to be revealed, but the 1999 anime adaptation placed it on his right arm.[7]
Chrollo is calm, intelligent, and charismatic, as he seems to be a born leader and able to hold the Troupe together despite the volatile personalities of its members. While he is a very capable strategist, Chrollo is also very confident in his own fighting abilities as well as in those of the other members of the Spider. He always has at least two people with him, which is why Hisoka found it so difficult to fight him.[8] After he has admired the items that he targeted and acquired, Chrollo sells them all.[9] It is also stated that Chrollo likes antique books.[3]
Chrollo reacting to Gon's question about his motives
Unflinching and unshakable, he is also an observer of human nature. Gon's hostility toward the Troupe led Chrollo to reflect upon the nature of himself and his actions.[10] Additionally, when fighting Hisoka, who refused to back down even after seeing the extent of his abilities, Chrollo expressed a fascination for the inner workings of human beings. However, by his own claim, he sees no difference between a puppet and a person.[11]
Chrollo shows no fear of his own death, even anticipating it. Melody stated that his heartbeat sounded as if he was happy living alongside death. To Chrollo, the Troupe is more important than his own life.[12] He once stated that the survival of the group comes before the well-being of the leader, stressing that the head of the Spider is just another limb that can be sacrificed for the survival of the whole.[13] In order to prevent their negative fortunes from coming true, Chrollo ordered the Troupe members to stay close and to assist one another.[10] The only people Chrollo seems to care about are his fellow Troupe members. When he reads his fortune written by Neon which alludes to Uvogin's death, he cries for him. Later on, he orchestrates a massacre of Mafia members as a requiem to his fallen comrade.[14][15] After the deaths of Kortopi and Shalnark at the hands of Hisoka, Chrollo appears visibly distraught[16] and furious,[17] vowing to kill him as soon as he sees him.[4]
