Lindow Amamiya

Lindow Amamiya is a character introduced in God Eater Burst. The former leader of the Retaliation team. In God Eater 2 he joins with a traveling branch named Cradle along with Soma, Alisa, and the Protagonist.

Biography
He holds a serious secret and was reported MIA (Missing In Action) during the Moon in the Welkin mission after being attacked by an Aragami. However, Lindow survived the mission, but a Dyaus Pita appeared and he was forced to fight it. During the fight, he lost his God Eater armlet, but Shio appeared and saved Lindow. While missing, his Aragami cells began to take over his body as his armlet was no longer there to control them with Bias Factor injections. They managed to take over his right arm, causing him incredible pain and affecting his behavior. Whilst in this state, Shio helped him control the pain and slow down the transformation. Eventually, he mutated into a Corrosive Hannibal. Notably, he kept his previous personality, saving Tatsumi's group before his Aragami half took over and turned on them. The Protagonist then saves them and experiences a resonance before the Hannibal departs. The Protagonist and Ren find and fight him in this state, on Aegis Island, and free him from the Hannibal. After a trip through Lindow's mind, the two eventually reach Lindow's true self, and he and the Protagonist fight the Corrosive Hannibal to free him from the mutation. Presently he is still a part of the Fenrir Far East Branch, although still with his mutated right arm (which has stopped taking him over, thanks to Ren).

Character Relationships

 * Protagonist (Gods Eater Burst) - At first, he treated him/her as another comrade. But after the events in Gods Eater Burst, he sees him/her a reliable leader or teammate. After he was saved by him/her, as well as returning to Fenrir Far East Branch, he gives his position as leader to him/her because he believes that he/she made it this far and protected the branch, not him.
 * Ren - His personified God Arc. Both of them call one another as "partners". In God Eater 2, Ren is his son.
 * Sakuya Tachibana - His fiancé (Gods Eater Burst), and wife (end of Gods Eater Burst and in God Eater 2). In Gods Eater Burst, when you talked to Lindow before receiving a new mission with Sakuya, he tells you that the two of them were "frienemies". Lindow did not show any hint of his true feelings towards Sakuya, but that doesn't mean he does not like Sakuya at all. Only in the 2nd credits was shown how he truly loves her.
 * Tsubaki Amamiya - His older sister. Both were comrades back then. As shown in the OVA, Tsubaki still kept her strictness and sense of duty while in a mission where Fenrir reinforces an organization against Aragami. She also expressed her frustration as well as despair when he went missing in the mission (Moon in the Welkin)
 * Soma Von Shicksal - Both are comrades and veterans. Soma sees him as a reliable leader and a dependable guy. Although, he keeps on reminding Lindow that he also follows his usual rules. Both are on friendly terms
 * Kota Fujiki - Kota sees Lindow much more than just being a leader. He is, as well, amazed to Lindow's survivability and to his record of killing an Ouroboros on his own. Both are on friendly terms
 * Alisa Illinichina Amiella - Alisa holds a key part on their mission "Moon the Welkin". She was, at first, saw him as a laid-back guy. But eventually, she sees him as a comrade. After the events in the game, she now looks forward to working with him again.
