Designer
The character generally referred to as Egyptian Mr. Freeze, true name unknown, is an avatar with a history with Lea who tries to kidnap her for unknown purposes. He is set to be one of the game's main antagonists.
Appearance
Egyptian Mr. Freeze is a tall avatar with light blue skin and long, tangled black hair. On his head, wears a partial helmet consisting of a gold band with a stylized sun above his forehead, reminiscent of a ceremonial headdress, and connected to a chin guard. He also has a black visor covering his eyes. He wears a shirt of segmented gray, blue and gold armor and matching gloves and shoes, along with baggy orange pants. An orange sash with pixelated ends floats around his waist, unsupported. Early concept art shows him wearing a long white and gold necklace with a circular gold and blue pendant, but this is not seen in-game.
Personality
Egyptian Mr. Freeze is shown to act superior and condescending to everyone, and completely ignores the desires and opinions of others in favor of pursuing his own goals, whatever they might be. He views avatars as being superior to humans, exemplified by his greatly underestimating Jet and dismissively referring to him as a "mortal". He speaks in a rather odd, stilted manner and comes off as rather out of touch, but has proven himself to be the most powerful character seen to date.
Relationships
Egyptian Mr. Freeze knows Lea from before her amnesia. Initially, he intends to remove her from the game for being outside the Playground, but on recognizing her, he changes tactics, first pitting her against the Cargo Crab to prove her identity, and then attempting to kidnap her. This strongly hints that their previous relationship was antagonistic, although his treatment of her does not stand out exceptionally from his overall treatment of others.
Captain Jet's strong senses of order and duty strongly clash with Egyptian Mr. Freeze's condescending attitude and dismissive views of non-avatars. Although Egyptian Mr. Freeze initially dismisses Jet as boring and not worthy of his attention, Jet is later able to hold him off with a rocket launcher and destroy his avatar, greatly infuriating him.
History
Egyptian Mr. Freeze's past and identity are a mystery. Although he is an avatar, he does not fit any of the CrossWorlds classes. He demonstrates powers, specifically flight and summoning bosses, that would most likely be gamebreaking in the hands of players, and Sergey is unable to find any link between him and CrossWorlds. He is most likely not a CrossWorlds player, but it is not clear what else he could be.
Role in CrossCode
Egyptian Mr. Freeze senses Lea's presence on the M.S. Solar and seeks her out, intending to remove her for being outside the Playground. However, he recognizes her, and summons a Cargo Crab for her to fight in order to prove her identity. Satisfied that she is who he though she was, he attempts to kidnap her, but is shot by Captain Jet's rocket launcher, damaging his avatar. He continues to fight Jet while summoning Advanced Attack Robots to apprehend Lea, but she is successful at leaving the ship, at which point Jet destroys his avatar with a Neutralizer.
He later appears in Autumn's Rise, claiming to be tasked there by greater powers. He challenges Lea to find all 25 chests in the area (excluding challenge chests), and then allows her to fight the Upgraded Cargo Crab, rewarding her with a Key Piece.
Trivia
The name Egyptian Mr. Freeze was given by a streamer and is not officially, but the developers thought it was so funny, that they just took it over as a nickname.
