Christian Rosencreutz

Christian Rosencreutz (クリスチャン＝ローゼンクロイツ) (also spelt Christian Rosenkreuz/kreutz or rendered Christian Rose Cross, abbreviated to CRC), is a legendary German magician, said to have lived in the 14th century, and the supposed founder of the Rosicrucian Order.

Appearance
When brought into the world via the Bridge Builders Cabal's ceremony, CRC had the appearance of a young man, about 18, with silver hair and a beard (though with the voice of an old man). He wore a red robe provided by Trismegistus.

Personality
According to legend, Christian Rosencreutz was said to have been a holy man, the wisest of wise men, who would seek to heal people and the world, holding out his hand or providing potions then leaving without asking anything in return. The personality of the CRC brought forth by the Bridge Builders Cabal was completely different.

Background
According to the legends surrounding Christian Rosencreutz, he was a German magician who lived in the 14th century. Said to have been a wise holy man, a greatly skilled magician, and a miracle worker, he travelled around the world and gathered knowledge during his travels. Journeying through the desert, he would heal people suffering from diseases, curses and sin, at times holding out his hand and other times providing miracle-working potions, leaving without asking for anything in return. Aside from healing individual people, he would also attempt to fight the world's ignorance and the sickness infecting the world, from philosophies to nations.

After his long journey, Rosencreutz was said to have organized and redistributed this knowledge in a form usable by ordinary people, and having gathered disciples who shared his goals, established the Rosicrucian Order,   which was to meant to remain a secret for a hundred years after its establishment. The three grimoires which initiates of the order might read copies of, the, and , contain stories about Rosencreutz and were allegeded to be derived from his writings and knowledge. Aside from these three, Christian Rosencreutz was also said to possess a highly-pure original grimoire known as the, which he claimed to have received from sages.

Symbolized by the Rose Cross, Rosencreutz was said to have been buried in a seven-walled tomb, later found by an explorer after 120 years - a story which later formed part of the Golden Dawn's 5=6 ritual. When discovered in the tomb, his corpse was said to have not decomposed. Another legend connected to Rosencreutz, supposedly described by a scroll found in his tomb, is that he created a perfect miniature of the world and by reproducing past, present and future of all things in this miniature garden, he could understand everything about the world.

However, the legends were supposedly an invented history originating with a false book written by, a lie which he would later confess to only to be ignored, the Rosicrucian movement having by then grown into something more. Whether or not Christian Rosencreutz actually lived and existed in some form isn't entirely clear,   though the CRC which would summoned or created by the Bridge Builders Cabal (who sought him as a savior based on those legends) had a disposition completely different from what the legends claimed, suggesting at the very least that the legends of a wise savior were a complete lie.

Abilities
The exact mechanisms of CRC's magic are currently unknown, but he was able to topple the assembled Transcendents of the Bridge Builders Cabal in a single attack (with the exception of Alice Anotherbible), in a way they couldn't understand and faster than they could react, an impact accompanied by a flash of light. He was also able to apparently kill the likes of the exceptional Transcendent Alice Anotherbible, crushing her head.

CRC also makes use of common tones, similar to those used by the Transcendents of the Bridge Builders Cabal.

Trivia

 * CRC's voice is described as a normal voice but one of a wrinkled old man, a mismatch with his young appearance.
