Revision as of 22:43, 22 May 2015
- For the Norse-based magic cabal led by Othinus, see GREMLIN.
Gremlin (グレムリン Guremurin?) is a group made up of Majins from various religions, as opposed to the group of the same name led by Othinus.[1]
Etymology
A Gremlin is a creature that originates from folklore which emerged during the early 20th century, primarily from stories told among airmen. They are little creatures, mischievous like imps of older folklore, who sabotage modern machinery, aircraft in particular.
Principles
Though similar to the group in the regular world that also bears the name, the true Gremlin differs in that rather than being a fusion of science and magic or an anti-science group, it is an organization that any Magic God from any religion can take part in equally, as a Gremlin is a plain fairy not dyed in the colors of any existing religion.[1] As such, the group is comprised of Magic Gods from various religions, many of whom are remarkable but lacking in some way.[1]
Gremlin's members are located in a hidden Phase, beyond even the Black World and a sanctuary separate from the rest of the world. There, the concepts of distance and time don't matter.[1]
Chronology
Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index
Magic God Othinus Arc
- Main article: Magic God Othinus Arc
Near the end of the events in Denmark, Gremlin interfere with the existing world to prevent Othinus' complete destruction and a potential change in Kamijou Touma which could affect their plans for his future. As they discuss these events, Aleister Crowley penetrates their realm and confronts them. After being provoked by one of the Magic Gods, Aleister summons the Blasting Rod and declares his Magic Name before attacking them.[1]
The confrontation ended with Aleister escaping back to Academy City with a third of his body badly burned,[2] but Gremlin lost their hidden world.[3]
St. Germain Arc
Having lost their hidden world, the members of Gremlin are forced to act themselves. Using a method devised by Zombie to split up their existence enough for them to enter the regular world safely, the High Priest, Nephthys and Niang-Niang enter Academy City in order to carry out their work.[3] After being delayed due to the actions of St. Germain, they decide to go after Kamijou Touma but before they could, they are contacted by Aleister who, having obtained their base parameters from their earlier battle and dealt with Zombie while they were preoccupied, substituted Zombie's spell with his own and inserted it into their bodies. After telling them it was high time they remembered what death feels like, Aleister has the crucified Zombie launched into their midst by Kihara Noukan.[4]
