Summary[]
Brunestud of the Crimson Moon (朱い月のブリュンスタッド, Akai Tsuki no Buryunsutaddo), also called Crimson Moon (朱い月, Akai Tsuki), is the Ultimate One of the Moon, otherwise known as Type-Moon (タイプ・ムーン, Taipu Mūn), and the major antagonist in the classic TYPE-MOON series known as Tsukihime, and rumoredfully, the overall "final boss" of the franchise itself.
He responded to a call from the collective will of the Earth, Gaia, over four thousand years ago, and made a deal to allow for him to live on the Earth in exchange for protection against human corruption. The planet, unable to use a mirror to reflect itself, is unable to set its own standards, so only another celestial body is able to understand the death of a celestial body. True Ancestors based in his image were created as a natural protective system for the Earth and were set to return it to its natural state. Brunestud traveled the planet, challenged random beings to defeat him, such as Gransurg Blackmore, who was nothing but an average magus, and the villagers holding Merem Solomon. He also gathered a number of followers, such as Blackmore and Trhvmn Ortenrosse, in an attempt to eventually take the Earth as his own kingdom.
In a distant future, Crimson Moon would appear as one of the final enemies during the Ultimate Ones' Invasion of the Earth, after the planet sends its final wish to wipe out all life that still resides on its corpse.

Resistance to Death Manipulation (Does not possess a concept of death unless it is forcefully placed upon him by a being of great power, making them immune to abilities such as even the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception)Attack Potency: Varies from High Island level to Extraverse level, far higer with Marble Phantasm (Has all of Arcueid's powers after partially possessing her, especially the Marble Phantasm, which seals off the cosmos and is beyond human comprehension. She can bring forth the Moon Castle otherwise called the Millenium Castle into existence, a canopy that covers the entire planet and is incomprehensible to human intellect. She can achieve a feat on the level of True Magic, using the marble phantasm to bring the Crimson Moon from the future that Altrouge used to turn Zepia into a phenomenon that reincarnates infinitely from the Akashic Records. She disregards the contract and turns him back from phenomenon to human and removing the applications of his reincarnation to be killed. She goes as far as to say "there's no world she cannot create" with her imagination) | Extraverse level physically, higher conceptually (As the Ultimate One of the Moon, the Crimson Moon exists as its proper pillar, soul, and archetype as well as its strongest lifeform, acting as the essence of its own cosmos within the spiritual, sensible world while embodying its macrocosm, being on the same ontological level with other Ultimate Ones. Far more powerful than all the True Ancestors and Moon Cancers. The Crimson Moon is the power behind Archetype: Earth's and is a complete enemy to her planet with his will being "corrosive" to it and will eventually appear as the "final boss" during the war between the Ultimate Ones and the Earth. His Marble Phantasm can chain even Ado Edem. In Circa 300 AD occurred a violent clash between Crimson Moon and the Wizard Marshal Zelretch. It was during that time he utilized his Moon Drop; the Moon Drop was said to signal the end of the world as a being summoned to bring about the end of the world, it was threatening to destroy the entire world before Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg pushed it back using a virtually limitless Ether Canon; despite having lost a fight to a Zelretch, it reduced his power and left him incapable of utilizing Second Magic like he could at first. He also lost only as a result it not having an understanding of Second Magic, a rule outside of rules)

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Ultimate One (Arutemitto Wan): Each Type is the absolute, ultimate and strongest life-form of their respective celestial body and carries out the will of their World, as such they can be considered the planets themselves. Due to being from other planets with different laws and concepts they can't be judged by the concepts of the other planets, even the concept of death can't normally be applied to them.
Brunestud is the Ultimate One of the Moon, and is thus the strongest life-form on the Moon, capable of singlehandedly wiping out all living beings on Earth. The appearance, abilities and very thoughts of Archetype: Earth could be called the Crimson Moon. After he vanished, individuals close to him in power and purity started being honored with the title of Brunestud. But in the long history of the True Ancestors, only Arcueid and Altrouge have ever received the name Brunestud. Arcueid in particular is beyond all other True Ancestors, as she can stand her ground with the first True Ancestor, Crimson Moon. And he should also wield all of their powers and abilities.
All creatures known as Dead Apostles are descended from him in some way, and as with True Ancestors, he can create strong Dead Apostles by drinking the blood of a human, having created at least two members of The Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, Merem and Zelretch, and having had both Blackmore and Ortenrosse become vampires through magical research in order to follow him. Despite the impact the Twenty-seven Ancestors have on the planet, they can be considered nothing more than a footprint that he made on the world. In the Remake, Crimson Moon was noted to have also been responsible for transforming Caubac Alcatraz into a Vampire due to sensing his potential.
Crimson Moon possesses Mystic Eyes that fall under the Noble Color "Rainbow" which even exceeds the "Jewel" ranked Mystic Eyes of petrification. His ultimate Mystic Eyes, which blend and mix all seven colors of the rainbow like a kaleidoscope, are considered to be the mark of the King of the Moon. He also holds a Reality Marble, which contains the Millennium Castle Brunestud. Its purpose is to give him a new body: when a True Ancestor reaches the same purity as him and body of his scale, the Reality Marble allows him to take over their bodies through spiritual possession. During his battle with Zelretch, he was able to create a mirror image of the moon and drop it towards the planet in an event known as the Moon Fall (月落とし, Tsuki Otoshi), which forced Zelretch to use a virtually limitless Ether Cannon to push back.
He can also use an ability called Alt Nagel (アルトネーゲル, Arutonēgeru, German: "Ancient Nail"), which is described as an immensely destructive pillar of wind which stretches as far as the heavens. In the world of Notes, Crimson Moon wields a Knight Arm called Real of the World (リアル・オブ・ザ・ワールド, Riaru obu za Warudo) which is also the title of the True Ancestors' purpose of restoring the world to its natural state.
