Chrono Crusade - Terminology

Terminology

Militia

Highly experienced personnel of the Order. These agents are normally sent out in the field on missions either partnered or solo. In order to acquire this position, one must be with the order for a number of years and satisfactorily complete a test that the branch director approves. Rosette obtains this level after she was able to exorcise a demon from Azmaria after taking a dive.

Dive

Dive is the process of literally diving into the soul of an individual in order to exorcise a demon or to contact them from within once they have withdrawn from the outside world. Dive can be done on both humans and demons with the latter posing significant risks and dangers.

In order to perform a dive, special equipment must be attached to both individuals. Once done the diver can hence 'dive' the moment they place on the visor.

Sinners

Sinners are demons who have separated themselves from the demon hive Pandemonium and openly rebelled. In the case of the story, after Aion reached a higher domain and acquired forbidden knowledge, he was classified as a sinner with both him and his brood marked for execution. As a result, he becomes the de facto leader of this group who eventually fight their way to freedom on Eden although many comrades were lost.

Of the sinners only Joshua and Fiore are not demons.

Pursuers

As the name suggests, pursuers are demons sent by the elders of Pandemonium to eradicate the defected sinners. The strength of their demons varies from weak to powerful with numbers many times over those of the sinners.
