ANM-047: Inbred Knight (REMAKE)

"Decapitate traitors as I decapitate enemies of the family."

Identification: Inbred Knight

Responsible Researcher: Dr. Öctavio Kalev

ANM #: ANM-047

Classification: Assistant 🔵 | Contained ⭕️

Type of Anomaly: Literary, medieval, mutant, historical

Type of Damage: Radioactive, immunological, physical, military

Containment: ANM-047 must remain housed in a Class-2 humanoid containment chamber, measuring 9 meters in length, 2 meters in width, and 4 meters in height. The chamber is built from ANM-035 material, reinforced with a 40 cm thick specialized alloy coating, while the access door is made of titanium, protected by biometric locks requiring Level 4 authorization. No personnel without prior approval may enter the chamber, and interaction with ANM-047 is restricted to authorized individuals of noble European lineages, particularly the Habsburg lineage or Spanish nobility.

Due to ANM-047's extreme violence and insatiable hunger for human flesh, no fewer than four armed security agents must be stationed outside its containment at all times. In the event of a containment breach, the immediate lockdown of the underground levels of the MOTHRA facility is mandatory, followed by attempts to persuade ANM-047 to return to its quarters. Should this fail, incendiary protocol systems must be activated to subdue ANM-047 until re-containment is achieved.

ANM-047 may be used in battles or against internal enemies within the MOTHRA Institution, having been classified as an 'Assistant.' It will follow the orders of MOTHRA superiors without hesitation.

ANM-047's chamber must remain decorated in a medieval style, containing a collection of historical texts related to medieval Spain and the Habsburg dynasty. Interaction with these items seems to pacify ANM-047, reducing its violent outbursts. Under no circumstances should electronic devices be introduced into the chamber (except for a gramophone), as ANM-047 exhibits severe technophobia, reacting violently to modern technology.

Female staff members are prohibited from entering ANM-047's containment.

Description: ANM-047 is a severely deformed male humanoid, standing at an extraordinary height of 2.52 meters and weighing approximately 590 kilograms. ANM-047 appears to be of Spanish descent, with DNA analysis suggesting a high degree of consanguinity, particularly among descendants of the royal family of the Habsburg house.

ANM-047 is always dressed in an ancient medieval knight’s armor, stained with blood and encrusted with dirt, which seems to have fused with its flesh. Attempts to remove the armor have resulted in extreme violence from ANM-047. The armor bears the marks of a 17th-century knight and is believed to be from the period of Habsburg monarchy rule in Europe.

ANM-047 possesses a combination of genetic mutations, physical deformities, and mental issues, as detailed below:

[[collapsible show="+ List of identified genetic mutations of ANM-047" hide="- Close list"]] • Exaggerated Mandibular Prognathism

ANM-047 has severe mandibular prognathism, with a prominent, bulbous lower jaw. This feature seems to be exacerbated by other combined genetic conditions, resulting in a deformed and disproportionate appearance of the jaw.

• Combined Acromegaly and Gigantism

ANM-047’s body exhibits clear signs of both acromegaly and gigantism, resulting in a dense, robust body structure, significantly abnormal even for those with these conditions.

• Wide, Bulbous Nose

ANM-047 has an extremely wide and bulbous nose, a common feature among craniofacial deformities.

• Excess Teeth

ANM-047 has a total of 192 teeth in its mouth, arranged in two rows above and below the original set. The front row appears to have grown over the previous teeth, giving the subject a type of "triple jaw" formation that is abnormal and compact. These teeth have never been cleaned, worn down, stained with blood, and containing human remains.

• Kyphosis

ANM-047's spine is curved, resulting in a significantly hunched posture due to kyphosis, giving the entity an even more imposing and inhuman appearance.

• Cranial Elephantiasis

ANM-047’s head is significantly enlarged, displaying signs of cranial elephantiasis. This condition makes the cranial cavity much larger than normal, intensifying its facial deformities.

• Photophobia

ANM-047 has extreme sensitivity to light, a condition known as photophobia. Its eyes are adapted to dark environments, reflecting its comfort in dimly lit, medieval settings. Despite this photophobia, it has extraordinarily sharp vision in dark environments, a biological adaptation that allows it to hunt and attack in low or no light conditions.

• Enlarged Muscles and Ribcage

Although its muscles are not apparent at first glance, ANM-047 has a significantly larger muscle structure, hidden by layers of fat. Its ribcage is also enlarged.

• Two Human Hearts

ANM-047 possesses two fully functional human hearts, which likely contribute to its superhuman strength and endurance, ensuring efficient blood circulation.

• Superhuman Strength and Endurance

ANM-047 exhibits strength and endurance far beyond normal human capacities, enabling it to perform extraordinary feats, such as crushing stones and various metal bars.

• Swollen and Deformed Feet

ANM-047's feet are swollen and deformed, possibly due to congenital conditions or its many mutations. However, this does not appear to impact its mobility or agility, earning the nickname "elephant feet."

• Addiction to Human Flesh and Blood

ANM-047 has an extreme addiction to consuming human flesh and blood, with a particular preference for babies and virgin women. Its hunger for human flesh is insatiable, and it becomes increasingly aggressive when deprived of this food source.

• Technophobia

ANM-047 exhibits an intense aversion to almost all modern technology, preferring medieval scenarios and objects. It tolerates only an old gramophone introduced into its containment, which seems to calm the entity, especially through calm music or songs reminiscent of the empire.

• Thick Neck and Protruding Brow Bones

ANM-047's neck is extremely thick, and its brow bones are prominent, likely a consequence of its acromegaly. This characteristic adds to its brutish appearance.

• Tumors and Swellings

ANM-047 has an abnormal number of cancerous tumors and swollen areas scattered across its body. These areas are especially concentrated on its neck, where tumors dominate the skin. Its skin is thin, clinging tightly to the abomination's body, making some veins and fluid within the tumors visible.

• Mental Instability and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

ANM-047 suffers from severe mental instability, frequently experiencing panic attacks. The entity shows clear signs of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), linked to traumatic experiences from its distant past.

• Universal Alopecia

ANM-047 has no body hair, including hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows, due to universal alopecia.

• Cleft Lip

ANM-047’s upper lip has a congenital cleft, a condition known as a cleft lip, adding yet another deformity to its already grotesque appearance.

• Gardner's Syndrome

ANM-047 exhibits symptoms of Gardner’s Syndrome, a rare genetic condition. As a result, it has additional teeth growing in the roof of its mouth, contributing to its dental abnormality.

• Arachnodactyly and Polydactyly

ANM-047 has elongated fingers (arachnodactyly) and polydactyly, with its right hand possessing 8 fingers and its left hand 10. These extra fingers are fully functional.

• Dolichostenomelia

ANM-047’s arms are disproportionately long (dolichostenomelia), extending down to its knees. Interestingly, its legs are of “normal” size for its height, creating a strange and disproportionate contrast.

• Facial and Cranial Asymmetry

ANM-047's facial and cranial structure is highly asymmetrical, resulting in an even more monstrous and disfigured appearance.

• Crooked Eyes

ANM-047’s eyes emit a characteristic light blue glow, and they are crooked and misaligned, with the right eye positioned several centimeters above the left, both eyes sunken deeply into the skull. [[/collapsible]]

Behaviorally, ANM-047 exhibits extreme aggression, particularly towards individuals without noble European heritage, with a preference for attacking those not connected to the Habsburg lineage. ANM-047's preferred method of attack is decapitation, usually using an ancient, enormous axe he carries with him, which he has named 'Der Enthaupter,' to easily sever the heads of his victims. In addition to his axe, ANM-047 carries a shield adorned with a human face, believed to be made from the skin of a previous victim’s face.

Besides showing an intense preference for consuming human flesh, ANM-047 can metabolize a human corpse entirely, leaving only residual bloodstains within a few hours. This behavior suggests an extraordinarily efficient digestive system, although the mechanics of this are still under investigation.

ANM-047 possesses immense physical strength, easily overpowering most personnel. X-ray images have revealed that ANM-047 has two fully functional human hearts, which may contribute to his extreme strength and durability. ANM-047’s additional fingers are fully formed and functional, though their presence suggests a high degree of genetic instability. X-rays have also shown that ANM-047’s skeletal structure is denser than that of the average human, possessing a bone structure similar to that of 'Homo Neanderthalensis,' indicating evolutionary retrognathism.

ANM-047 demonstrates a deep connection to the Habsburg royal family, specifically Charles II of Spain, whom he claims as his father. Genetic analysis supports this claim, showing remarkable genetic similarities with the infamous Habsburg lineage. ANM-047 displays a near-fanatical loyalty to the memory of Charles II and expresses a desire to "serve the lineage" by protecting and avenging those of Habsburg descent.

ANM-047 has also been confirmed to have congenital insensitivity to pain (CIPA), making him immune to damage that would otherwise incapacitate a human. Despite the severity of his deformities, ANM-047 does not display signs of discomfort or limitations from his condition, never stopping while in combat or when focused on a target. If struck forcefully, his numerous tumors can burst, releasing a yellowish, sticky liquid that can spread over a large area depending on the tumor's size. The liquid is highly toxic and radioactive, capable of causing deformities and various cancers over time, with a death probability of over 100%. The tumors tend to regenerate and grow over time, apparently keeping the anomaly "healthy" in some sense.

Blood tests have indicated that ANM-047 is highly inbred, with an origin of extreme inbreeding and incest, his inbreeding coefficient surpassing 1.959 coi, compared to the previously recorded highest value of 0.353 coi, belonging to the granddaughter of Charles II of Spain. The individual constantly complains of pain, and due to his conditions, he also has difficulty speaking, always speaking in a muffled and strained manner, maintaining a strong Spanish accent with a hoarse and deep voice. He is also capable of speaking French, Medieval English, Portuguese, and German. The subject tends to speak as if from the Middle Ages, maintaining the posture and behavior of a guard.

Addendum 047-A: Further analysis of ANM-047’s axe revealed that the weapon was forged in 1666, during the height of the Habsburg Monarchy's influence in Europe. ANM-047 refuses to part with the axe under any circumstances, indicating a deep sentimental attachment. Tests have been initiated to determine if the axe has any anomalous properties. The axe has a dark handle, and the blade appears to be silver, still considerably sharp despite significant rust, measuring 205 cm. ANM-047 jokes about the possibility of causing tetanus to the "enemies of the empire."

Researcher's Footnotes: 1: Books and other items in the anomaly's quarters, such as a phonograph, help to keep the entity calm, and perhaps the phonograph is the only modern object that the entity does not fear. 2: Mandibular prognathism was common among Habsburg family members, and one of ANM-047’s most prominent features, along with his tumors. 3: The creature’s weight is likely due to his various deformities, such as swollen areas and blisters on his neck, in addition to the subject being clearly overweight. 4: The creature’s teeth seem to be "pushed back"; his mouth full of teeth likely helps him to easily consume human parts. 5: ANM-047’s skull appears to give him extra protection, even with the full suit of armor. 6: The warrior's muscles seem "fatty" yet powerful.

Journal of Theosbaldo von Habsburg (translated from Spanish)

Date unknown, the journal was delivered by Dr. Öctavio Kalev in an effort to allow ANM-047 to record his possible origin as a pastime.

[...]

The honor of the Habsburgs runs through my veins, though they are infested with the corruption of centuries of inbreeding. I was raised to serve, fight, and protect the lineage that gave me everything but also robbed me of myself.

I remember my childhood well, though the memories are blurred, like shadows dancing around a fire. It was a time of glory and fear, where the winds carried the scent of blood and steel. I was raised in a dark castle, surrounded by tall, cold walls, while whispers about our lineage spread among the shadows. "The Habsburgs are the chosen ones," they said. "But there is a price."

That price, I see now, was me.

From a young age, I was told that my deformity was a divine sign, that my immense strength and size were not curses but blessings. The prognathism that stretched my face, the bulges that grew on my skin, and the teeth that appeared in improbable places... were witnesses to my pure lineage, the will of God.

I was named captain while still young, not by merit, but by blood. I marched in the name of the Habsburgs, decapitating traitors and enemies, eliminating any threat to the throne. The axe I carry, Der Enthaupter, became my only true companion, as the weight of my flesh dragged me further into the shadows. As the years passed, my body swelled, and each battle seemed to feed the sores that infested my body.

Charles the Second, my father, was my guide. I served him blindly, without question, for he was the king, and I, his sword. However, the wars I fought changed me... or perhaps it was something else. I remember the fever that took the castle, a disease that did not affect common mortals. It was something reserved for us, the pure, the noble, the cursed. My skin began to stretch, tumors emerged on my arms and neck, and my mind was lost in the memories of screams and blood.

It was at the Battle of Montjuïc that everything changed. We were surrounded, and I was the last line of defense between the rebellion and the fall of the crown. When I brought my axe down on the last man, I felt something inside me break. I heard a scream—not human, not earthly—and when I looked at my hands, I saw that they no longer belonged to a man.

My exile was immediate. My own father, whom I had faithfully served, ordered that I be removed from his sight. There was no mercy in his eyes. I was now the monster he had feared to create.

The castle, once my home, became my prison. Isolated, I was left to rot in my own flesh. Doctors came with masks and prodded me with tools I barely understood. They whispered among themselves, laughing at my noble roots. I heard it all, but I did not understand why the candlelight seemed so fierce to my eyes.

The nights became endless, and despair set in. But something changed. A hunger grew, a hunger I had never known. The animals they brought me did not satisfy. It was then, in a desperate act, that I devoured a servant. His blood, his body, brought me peace for a moment, as if my soul were sated. However, it marked me forever as the monster I now am.

Now I am here, contained by the children of technology, weak beings who rely on their machines to live. I despise them. My soul cries out for the glory of the past, when the blade of an axe and the cry of battle were all we needed.

My name is Theosbaldo von Habsburg, Blood Captain of the House of Habsburg. I was born to serve and fight, and that will be my fate until the end of time. They will keep me here, but not for long. I will return. And when I do, I will bring the chaos and justice that my lineage deserves.

Until then, I wait. Like a caged animal, I await the moment when blood will flow again, and the enemies of the Habsburg family will know true terror.

"I am the guardian of the empire, and the blood of traitors will never be forgotten."
