Arthur Crypton is a first-year Limiter at West Genetics. He is the Limiter partner of Ganessa Roland.

Background[]

Arthur becomes Ganessa's Limiter having a strong admiration for her. Because of Satellizer's reputation, he constantly warns Kazuya to stay away from her.

Appearance[]

Arthur has blond hair and blue eyes. He is normally seen wearing the standard Limiter school uniform or battle uniform.

Personality[]

Arthur is generally a friendly person and very welcoming. Satellizer L. Bridget was initially an exception to this due to her hostile reputation and he tended to stay away from her. He is very tolerant, able to bear with his Pandora partner's arrogant and prideful personality. He is also more than willing to cater to her needs.

Arthur is revealed to be religious, as he noted that he attends church weekly.

Freezing: Pair Love Stories[]

Main article: Freezing: Pair Love Stories

Arthur was introduced when Ganessa fled from a ghostly figure. Initially dismissing the figure as part of the haunted house that was going on, Arthur was horrified when his hand went straight through the figure and fled along with Ganessa. When Ganessa fell, Arthur stood between the ghost and the Pandora, proclaiming that he was a churchgoer and that it was his duty as a Limiter to protect a Pandora. The ghost revealed herself to be a student, Alice, pulling a prank using advanced hologram technology. Although relieved, Arthur was attacked by Ganessa upon her bath towel slipping down.

Later, he was on a bench when Ganessa approached to apologize, only for Arthur to be hugged with Hiiragi who teased him about how attractive she was. Ganeessa apologized, and misunderstanding the situation, left. Arthur quickly asked Hiiragi who that was, and got an explanation about her, and her rather infamous attitude. Arthur saw that this attitude was an act, as he witnessed Ganessa's fuming as she cleaned up a public table, and smiled.

When Arthur stumbled across Ganessa arguing with a pair of older students, a couple, about pulling a blossom off of a tree, he swiftly asked her to do the Baptism ceremony with him. Ganessa was stunned, and the older couple left. After explaining to a puzzled Ganessa that he had no partner, he asked Ganessa if she had one herself.

They became a pair a short time later.

Desperately, he tries everything he can to get a response from his seemingly dead partner even as far as encouraging her to insult him.

Kazuya, no longer able to stand the sight of his friend's desperation, orders Arthur to stop since Ganessa is already dead. But Arthur refuses to listen. Cassie attacks them but hits Satellizer instead who, in her enraged state due to Ganessa's death, is in the process of entering Nova Form. Satellizer fights and beats Cassie. Ganessa is then shown to be breathing. Arthur and Kazuya waste no time and get her to the infirmary.
