Emil Husbando

Emil, also known as No. 7, is a companion and tetartagonist in NieR and its remake, as well as a minor character in NieR:Automata. Emil is the younger twin brother of Halua. He is a young boy that joins Nier's party towards the end of the first half of NieR, cursed (or as otherwise reassured by the party, blessed) with the ability to turn anyone who sees his eyes to stone. Within the first half of Act II, Emil reveals himself to be No.7, an ancient weapon created by magical experimentation. He is ultimately transformed into a skeleton-like being after fusing with Halua, but retains his soul and gains new magical powers. In NieR:Automata, Emil is revealed to have survived the events of the previous game; a disembodied copy of Emil is briefly encountered inside the head of a machine and is later seen again attached to a moving sales cart where he offers his wares for the roaming androids of YoRHa. He recovers his memories with the androids' help and reveals he and countless other Emils were created by the original Emil to fight against the aliens, to no avail.
