They started running with the tape, tossing it from hand to hand, which Machi saw. One day, Chrollo, who was about eleven years old, along with Franklin and Shalnark, found a new VHS tape in one of the garbage dumps. People who live there do not exist in any official records, and the existence of the city itself is known to a very few people. Ĭhrollo originated from Meteor City, a junkyard city inhabited by outcasts. Father Lisores comments to a Meteor City elder that he sees much promise in Chrollo because of his spirit and original ideas. He also always brought fresh flowers for the graves of children in church. Young Chrollo expressing his adoration for PakunodaĬhrollo is shown to have been emotional, caring, and bright as a child. However, Chrollo only intended to learn about Neon's ability to fulfill one of the conditions needed to steal it. During that time, he presented himself as an amiable and helpful man, always enthusiastic and smiling, who also displayed curiosity. Ĭhrollo is a skilled actor and quite manipulative, as shown when he met Neon Nostrade and "befriended" her to steal her fortune-telling ability. There is also an implied hostility between Chrollo and Silva Zoldyck, most likely stemming from their previous encounter after Silva's killing of a Troupe member.

Like the other Troupe members, Chrollo is cold-blooded and not above inhuman mass murder, most notably when they brutally massacred the Kurta Clan. Ĭhrollo changing his demeanor around Neon After the deaths of Kortopi and Shalnark at the hands of Hisoka, Chrollo appears visibly distraught and furious, vowing to kill him as soon as he sees him.

To Chrollo, the Troupe is more important than his own life. Melody stated that his heartbeat sounded as if he was happy living alongside death. Ĭhrollo shows no fear of his own death, even anticipating it. However, by his own claim, he sees no difference between a puppet and a person. Additionally, when fighting Hisoka, who refused to back down even after seeing the extent of his abilities, Chrollo expressed a fascination for the inner workings of human beings. Gon's hostility toward the Troupe led Chrollo to reflect upon the nature of himself and his actions. Unflinching and unshakable, he is also an observer of human nature. Ĭhrollo reacting to Gon’s question about his motives It is also stated that Chrollo likes antique books. After he has admired the items that he targeted and acquired, Chrollo sells them all.

He always has at least two people with him, which is why Hisoka found it so difficult to fight him. While he is a very capable strategist, Chrollo is also very confident in his own fighting abilities as well as in those of the other members of the Spider.
