Research Files

Translated from Japanese

Transient from the world of Aaru. As a watcher of the dead, he has come to see off travelers heading to the world of long nights. They say when he's bored he often tells riddles to whoever happens to walk by to confound them. People know him through terrifying rumors that say he eats anyone who fails to answer those riddles. Sphinx however has never eaten anyone since it would mean there would be one less person to play with, which may be one reason his body has never shown any signs of growing. Originally he wore a mask that symbolizes authority and spoke in a tone befitting that manner, but this frightened everyone he came across so he eventually he went without it. Sphinx is another half self of the World Representative of Aaru who rules the sky and lived in the world of daylight. He specializes in haggling and trickery about as well as the leaders of his guild. He doesn't like being treated as a child, but he doesn't hate the vampire who calls him cute either. When certain conditions are fulfilled, he joins a different guild.

異世界アァルの「転光生」。死者を見守る者として永らく夜の世界へと旅立つ者たちを見送って来た。度々、暇をしては通りかかった者に謎を出して困らせていたという。そして謎が解けなかった者を食べてしまうという怖いウワサで知られている。だがこのスフィンクスは遊び相手が居なくなるからという理由で１度も喰らったことがない。それ故か、一向にスフィンクスの身体は成長する兆しすらみせない。元々は権威を象徴する仮面を被り、口調もそれらしく振舞って見せていた。だが、通りすがる者が皆怖れをなしていくのでいつからか素顔を晒すようになった。異世界アァルの天空を統べる世界代行者の半身であり、昼の世界に生きてきた。同ギルドの先達たちに張り合えるほど、駆け引きや騙し合いを得意とする。子供扱いされるのは好きではないが、かわいいと誉めそやしてくる吸血鬼のことは嫌いではない。ある条件を満たす時、別のギルドに加入する。

Translated from Japanese

Sphinx's feather pen Sacred Artifact has the power to prevent escape from a space unless certain conditions are fulfilled when he writes in the air with it. He often uses it to partly force people to answer his riddles and play board games with him, but presently Sphinx has not yet noticed the true nature of this power. He has an aspect as a riddle creator. The Akasaka Agents guild he is a part of has sent him requests where he has caused many cases to run into riddles and go unsolved. Sphinx's hobby in Tokyo is collecting OOPArts and urban legends in existential limbo. He especially likes acting like a sage in existence verification games, games that prove or deny the existence of such things. Among other things he acknowledges the clearheadedness of the literature-loving criminal psychologist when he proves the existence of a criminal in cold cases. In existence verification games he always takes the position of proving that something exists, so he's easily liked by people who aren't sure whether said something exists or not.

Official Japanese

スフィンクスの羽ペンの「神器」によって文字の刻まれた空間からは、課された条件を満たさなければ脱出不可能。半ば強引に謎解きやボードゲームで一緒に遊ばせるために、よく使っているようだ。だが今のところスフィンクスは、その力の本質にまだ気づいてはいない。謎解きクリエイターとしての側面を持つ。所属するエージェンツにおいては依頼を受けては幾つもの事件に謎を仕掛けて迷宮入りにさせてきた。この東京に存在するかどうか分からない都市伝説やオーパーツを蒐集するのが趣味。特に、それらの実在性を証明、否定し合うという遊び――実在証明ゲームを智者と行うことを好む。中でも、文学好きの犯罪心理学者がコールド―ケースの犯人の存在を証明する際に発揮される頭脳明晰さには一目置いている。実在証明ゲームにおいて、必ずその実在性を証明する立場に立つため、そこに存在するかどうか分からない者達から好意を抱かれやすい。

Notes

Sphinx is based on a mythical creature in Ancient Egypt. However, the rumors about him eating people who cannot answer his riddles mentioned in his Research File, is a reference to the Ancient Greek interpretation of sphinxes.
His Charge Skill Heru-em-Akhet means "Horus in the horizon" and is a reference to one of the forms of Horus, which is often depicted as a sphinx.

Sphinx's design caught me off guard, but his expressions (especially the ones with the mask) are really charming and funny though
