Irregular was the mysterious entity that resided inside the womb of the Master of the Court. Confined in the Clockworker's Doll, he was treated as the Director Doll's unborn child. He shares a resemblance with Allen Avadonia.
History
Early Life
At some point, Irregular ended up in the womb of the Clockworker's Doll, shackled in red and blue chains.[1] Residing in the box-like space throughout the EC 990s, the Master of the Court sung the Clockwork Lullaby to the child.[2] In EC 998, Irregular was born in the Millennium Tree Forest and burst out of the doll's womb area.[3] Shortly after, the boy was destroyed by Punishment along with the rest of the forest.[4]
Four Boys
Ending up in the Grave Yard, Irregular wandered its vast wasteland. He later came by a hill when two boys with his same appearance appeared, Hänsel and Allen Avadonia. After Hänsel greeted him, Irregular remained silent before noticing the boy holding up the Clockworker's Doll. Struggling, he called out to his "mother". As Hänsel explained someone else was currently residing in the doll, Irregular reached out and tried to take it, calling out for his mother again and again.
Keeping it out of his reach, Hänsel fled up the hill shortly after and Irregular slowly chased after him and Allen. Once the three boys reached the top, they encountered Nemesis Sudou with a fourth boy, the Punishment weapon. Nemesis then activated Punishment, enveloping Irregular in the blast along with everyone else.[5]
Personality and Traits
Irregular was a devoted child to his "mother", the awakened Clockworker's Doll. As a result, he strived to be with her and was therefore persistent to acquire the vessel of Sloth. Due to dying almost immediately after his birth, Irregular lacked a well developed consciousness, acting sluggishly and struggling to say more than a few words at a time.[6]
