- Master of the Graveyard



The Master of the Graveyard is the awakened vessel of Gluttony. He commands the graveyard around Evil's Theater, capturing and devouring any trespassers. His servants refer to him as the Regent of the Dead and the Evil Food Eater.

Awakening
Sometime before EC 990, the Glass of Conchita awakened, assuming the title of Master of the Graveyard with his Servants by his side. He became subservient to Ma and was tasked with guarding the Theater from any intruders. Building a graveyard around the theater, he devoured any intruders who came within its perimeter. Tatari Kyoufu, attempting to obtain the Venom Sword, managed to elude the Master of the Graveyard and his servants, but ended up at the mercy of the Master of the Court. He and his servants desired Tatari to be captured, executed, or eaten but was denied her meal by the Waiter. At some point, Tatari remarked at how he'd been forced to trust his life to him. Despite his trust, he planned to one day have him in his stomach as well. He later attended the "trial" the Master of the Court held, searching for the vessel of Wrath. In response to GEAR's impatient and pessimistic commentary about their search, he called him the "soul of Adam who fell in the trap" and told him he was helpless to do anything about it either before or now.

Personality and Traits
The Master of the Graveyard was described as a dark and deceitful man, appearing to be a woman. He adopted many of the traits and mannerisms of her vessel's sinner, Nutris Conchita, including Conchita's cruel treatment of others and his gruesome appetite.

When GEAR commented how nothing would exist in the end, he made a snide remark about his helplessness both then and now to do anything about it. Similarly, he toyed with his victims by asking them which method of cooking them they would prefer since it didn't make a difference for him; he would still eat them entirely.

Although officially serving Ma, he harbored his own intentions and exemplified this deceit by planning to one day devour Tatari Kyoufu (who was forced to trust his life to him) to satiate his hunger. Despite this, he showed a loyalty to her servants by defending them when GEAR mocked their incessant banter.

Skills and Abilities
Being the awakened vessel of Gluttony, the Master of the Graveyard wielded all the powers granted to him by the Glass of Conchita. He also commanded the graveyard surrounding the theater, successfully capturing and killing many intruders who enter Evils Theatre and devouring them.

Character Connections
Servants: The Master of the Graveyard's servants. The Master of the Graveyard viewed the two as useful to his aims of capturing and killing trespassers; despite this, he also treats them with some protectiveness, viewed when defending them from GEAR's mockery.

Ma: The Master of the Graveyard's employer. Despite the Master of the Graveyard following Ma's orders to catch and kill trespassers, she harbors no loyalty towards Ma or her goals.

Tatari Kyoufu: A fellow member of the theater. The Master of the Graveyard saw Gammon as an insolent trespasser and so wished to devour him; while the Gardener was forced to trust his life to him, he still harbored intentions to eat him.

GEAR: A fellow member of the theater. The Master of the Graveyard believed him to be pathetic for letting himself become so powerless by sacrificing his heart, taunting him with this knowledge.

Nutris Conchita: The original owner of the Glass of Conchita. The Master of the Graveyard took on Conchita's appearance, tendency to crossdress, and cannibalistic tendencies after awakening due to their connection through the Sin of Gluttony.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * Although using the same character for "master" as the other Masters (主), the name is pronounced as "aruji" instead of "nushi"; this is likely a subtle reference to "akujiki", the word used for the sin of Gluttony.
 * The vessel's original form, the Seed, is represented as a pomegranate, often referred to as the "Fruit of Death" in Greek mythology, a possible connection with the graveyard.
 * His attire resembles woman's Victorian-era clothing; tuberculosis, a disease which causes weight loss and coughing up blood, was identified and named an endemic in this era, nicknamed "consumption".
 * The Master of the Graveyard's relation to the Graveyard is connected to the event of Death in Hieronymus Bosch's The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things.
 * The concept of Master of the Graveyard's eating habits may derive from the Japanese legend of "Kubikajiri", a graveyard-dwelling spirit that feasts on corpses.

Curiosities

 * The Master of the Graveyard's hat with a rose is positioned in the same place as a rose flower Nutris Conchita wears in some of his appearances.
 * She bears an obvious connection to Nutris Conchita, the Deadly Sinner who committed the epitome of Gluttony.
