Biography

Life Before Blaseball

Crueller is a Spite Demon, born from humanity's frustration and anger at those in power misusing that power for their own gain. Before joining the Steaks, Crueller was roaming the Mild West of the past, taking down oppressive cattle barons and unjust money lenders, wielding her vicious claws, wearing a long duster, and riding her flame-maned stallion, Kapnos.

While Crueller's actions were admirable, her motivations were questionable; as a Spite Demon, Crueller draws her lifeforce from inflicting misery upon those she targets, gaining power proportional to the suffering she causes. As she enacted her Spite upon those misusing their power, her strength grew exponentially, and she was known as The Terror of the Mild West at the peak of her reign.

Joining the Steaks (Season 7)

During the Incineration of Sebastian Telephone, a temporal portal opened, pulling Crueller through the timeline to Season 7, separating her from her beloved Kapnos. Crueller swore revenge on whoever had drawn her away, flailing her claws at any who approached. Coach, seeing an individual in distress, gave a subtle nod toward General Manager Philomena A. Minyon, who managed to calm Crueller down enough to take her aside and explain the situation to her.

With no obvious way to return to her home time, Crueller agreed to try playing for the Steaks in Telephone's place. After hitting a solo home run in her first full game, she felt the agony of the opposing team and their fans and feasted on the energy of their misery. At that moment, Crueller knew that she could make this work. Instead of inflicting immense suffering on one individual at a time, Crueller would cause many people to feel a small amount of splorts-related anguish, granting her enough power to make Blaseball an attractive option without causing lasting harm.

Crueller blames the Rogue Umpires for ripping her away from her home timeline, and would jump at the opportunity to enact revenge upon them. Crueller knows her strength and that it pales in comparison to that of the Rogue Umpires, at least for the moment. Instead, she waits, content to play Blaseball with her new teammates, sate herself on her opponents' suffering, and eat grilled foods for the flavor instead of the sustenance. Crueller enjoys her time spent around the grill and savoring the smoke, which reminds her of Kapnos.
