-{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|Transient enlisted in Toyosu Marine Academy's marine security department. He's said to be known as a professional guaranteeing safety in water areas since his time in his home world Kitezh. His grades are excellent and his classmates and teacher rate him highly, so based on just that he sounds like a pro among pros. He also has a composure unlike that of a student, so everyone in Tokyo connected to disaster prevention has their eye on him. Reprobus may be one of the famous students in his school, but the reasons for that lie elsewhere. The first is that his superhuman strength frequently leads him to destroy things at school, especially construction materials. The second is his constant job applications sent to everyone who has acknowledged him. He dreams of one day serving a great master, and to him the present is always temporary. He's always searching for the ideal workplace, moving from organization to organization. In all that time, all his school friends have figured out where they're going next after they graduate. Reprobus is slightly bothered by his lack of a job, but in the end he can't give up his dream so continues working hard looking for a master and a forever job. He feels a slightly fundamental difference in affinity towards coworkers that like things that sink.}}

+{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|The fur Sacred Artifact on Reprobus's back has the power to guarantee the safe delivery of living things and items Reprobus is recognized as charged with to their destination. When activated, Reprobus singlehandedly carries the weight and damage taken by his target(s). Reprobus is originally meant to serve a certain king and savior in his as yet unseen future home world of Eden. Reprobus was summoned before this great personage bore the world itself upon his back and was to be delivered to his destination, but here in Tokyo his still abides by his role and eternally seeks the master he serves. He looks on in longing and envy towards the guildmasters and guildmembers of every guild in Tokyo. On the other hand, he has complicated feelings towards the unbreakable boar warrior whose position resembles his own.}}

 == Trivia ==
+* He is based on [[wikipedia:Saint Christopher|Saint Christopher]], a venerated Catholic and Orthodox saint who is most known for carrying a young Jesus Christ across a river.
+** Reprobus being a lifeguard is a reference to St, Christopher being the patron saint of travelers and athletes.
+** Reprobus has a dislike of Gullinbursti, as they both are associated with carrying revered gods of their mythologies (Jesus Christ and Freyr respectively)
+* His "Canine Transient" appearance comes from his depictions in Eastern Orthodox Christianity, where he has a dog's head.
+** The common consensus among scholars is that St. Christopher was believed to have been a cynocephalus--literally "doghead" in Greek--a mythical race of dog-headed giants said to have lived in various faraway lands in lieu of humans. Reprobus is referred to as a cynocephalus in-game multiple times, making this the most likely origin.
+** Some speculate that St. Christopher himself asked God to make himself ugly in order to ward off temptation.
+** Others believe it was confusion of the word Canaanite (as some believe St. Christopher originated from Canaan) with Canine.
+** Given that Eastern European countries (such as Russia) have Eastern Orthodox Christianity as the dominant religion, this could be the reason why Reprobus is originally from [[Kitezh]].
+* His canine form is the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Bernard_(dog) St. Bernard] dog. St. Bernards are known rescue dogs in the Alpine region.
+** Coincidentally, the namesake of the St. Bernard, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_of_Menthon Saint Bernard of Menthon], is the patron saint of skiing, snowboarding, hiking, backpacking, and mountaineering.
+* His first research file says he is from the world of [[Kitezh]], and his higher rarity research file mentions he aims to have a future in [[Eden]].
