Irina Clockworker
Irina Clockworker is a powerful sorceress from the Magic Kingdom Levianta and the counterpart to her sister-in-law, Elluka. On a whim, she accepted a quest from Held to collect the Seven Deadly Sins and became involved in numerous conflicts.

Early Life
Born the sister of Kirill Clockworker, Irina became a craftsman and lived with her brother for some time in the Magic Kingdom Levianta. Later on, Irina became friends with Kirill's fiancée, Elluka Chirkrassia.

Project 'Ma'
In EC 013, both Elluka and Irina were selected as potential candidates for Project 'Ma' after being surveyed for their viability. As the time for the final selection grew closer, the other candidates began to be eliminated from the competition. After the apparent death of Milki Eights and the apparent suicide of Li Lee, Irina was approached by Elluka, pleading that they stop the pointless death over becoming the new Ma and that both she and Kirill preferred her as the candidate. Irina expressed her gratitude to Elluka and promised to protect her but was then stabbed in the back. As she collapsed, the last thing Irina saw was Elluka's crying face. Later, Irina was revived and gained immortality by Kirill using the forbidden Sin in the temple; when the ark exploded, she was located in the center of the blast and so was unharmed by the resulting Levianta Catastrophe.

With her nation turned into a wasteland, Irina vanished from the destroyed Levianta and disappeared from the public eye. After Hänsel and Gretel split the Original Sin committed by Adam Moonlit into the Seven Deadly Sins, Held called upon Elluka to seek out the sins scattered across the world the following year. She agreed to the task on a whim, hoping it would amuse her, and began the journey to collect the vessels of sin.

Crim Event
Irina initially dallied on her journey, traveling throughout Evillious giving aid to others rather than focus on her quest. In EC 126, Irina went to the Leviantan ruins in the mountains near Mystica. Praying there, Irina conjured a spell to wrap the mountains in a thick fog throughout most of the year. In EC 131, she helped quell a rebellion in Retasan fortress, earning the gratitude of the Beelzenian Empire and Princess Aprilis. Ten years later, she began following the disappearances of Maylis Beelzenia and List of Minor Characters in The Lunacy of Duke Venomania at the behest of both the Beelzenian Empire and Beelzenia, suspecting the vessel of sin were involved. During this time she met Sattersis Venomania, who was also investigating the disappearances of women in the Marlon. Learning he carried the Golden Key, she joined up with him in attempt to acquire it. She later came upon the mansion of Duke Count Kachess Crim in their plans to rescue the women. However, Satersisa deviated from the plan and killed the count with the vessel before taking off, leaving Irina empty-handed. At some point, she met Irohana Catto and, to prevent E.L from stealing the tailor's body and acquire her unique Purple Dream power, swapped bodies with her.

Evil Food Eater Conchita
In EC 325, Irina came across a girl calling herself Platonic and captured her. In June, the Beelzenian Empire, investigating the rumors surrounding Banica Conchita, requested Irina's assistance to uncover the truth regarding Banica's supposed cannibalism. Once again suspecting the involvement of a vessel of sin, Irina agreed to help investigate. The following month, Irina allowed Platonic to accompany her and they infiltrated the Conchita estate since the girl claimed to be one of her maids.

When they arrived, the estate was discovered empty and in perfect order. While searching the mansion, Irina noticed that Platonic had gone missing and that the vessel of Gluttony was nowhere to be found. Determining that Banica had apparently fled, the Empire ended Irina's investigation.

Three Heroes
During the Asmo-Beelzenian War, Irina served the Beelzenian Emperor as a staff officer. Around EC 478, Irina hired Arth and Queen Prim about a year later. She signed the Sanosun Bridge Oath in EC 480 and pledged to serve them. She became involved in numerous conflicts as part of Lucifenia's military expansion and became close friends with Leonhart Avadonia and [[Mariam Futapie. Around this time, she met the local blacksmith of the Langley family and visited him whenever she needed her weapons repaired. By EC 490, they were regarded as the Three Heroes due to their wartime exploits together.

Twiright Prank
In EC 491, not long after the death of King Arth, Queen Prim went to Irina for advice over the strange behavior of her daughter. Irina notes her strange behavior and determined that Minister Presi was plotting something. After a failed assassination attempt on the prince's life, The court mage rushed to Genesia's quarters, certain Presi was involved and that he had been spying on their movements. When Irina arrived, she discovered Minister Presi and ??? in the room with a murdered Genesia before them. Irina deduced Genesia was poisoned and asked Presia about his intentions.

The minister revealed that he planned to kill the Three Heroes and the Prince; the court mage determined he had gone mad, denying he would be able to do it. Before she could finish, she noticed a change in Presi's magical power even though she was certain he had none. Hearing the minister tell ??? he was "borrowing" something from inside her, she asked what power he was siphoning inside his body. Presi laughed and told her it was what she had been trying to find for the last five hundred years: a demon of a Deadly Sin.

Irina fought the minister and was overwhelmed by his demonic power. Before he could deal the final blow, Mariam arrived and saved her. The two defeated and killed Presi and the court mage sealed the demon inside the hand mirror it came from, removing ???'s memories of her twin brother as an unintentional side effect. Later, while her comrades, Leonhart and Mariam, spoke about the children each of them had adopted, Mariam asked Irina if she would ever train an apprentice since the sorceress was unlikely to marry. Irina bluntly told her: "Never." Despite the decrease in wars during Queen Prim's rule, Irina's work remained the same.
