Lye Batenkaitos

Personality

Lye Batenkaitos, the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony, possesses a unique and unsettling personality. He views the world through a warped lens, believing that consuming others' names and memories—their experiences and skills—is the ultimate form of enrichment and power. This "gourmet" approach to life leads him to meticulously assess his potential "meals," valuing quality over quantity. He displays a chilling detachment, often speaking in a collective "we" rather than "I," further highlighting his absorption of multiple identities. While seemingly childlike in appearance, his actions reveal a calculating and ruthless individual. Despite his monstrous acts, Lye shows glimpses of complex emotions. He expresses a disdain for merchants and a begrudging respect for Subaru, who uniquely escapes his oblivion. His warped affection for Ram, culminating in his attempt to devour her, suggests a twisted understanding of love. His relationship with his siblings remains ambiguous, though he demonstrates a degree of protectiveness towards his sister, Rui, while also prioritizing his own survival. His personality is a disturbing blend of naivete, cruelty, and a chillingly detached pursuit of self-improvement through consumption.
