Centipede awakened

The Centipede awakened was a Vanguard negotiator and narratively, the first awakened that Grace meets. He was a defensive  type  male awakened and from the first generation. He claimed to be a failure created by the organization to dispose of claymores. He is one of the awakened who used  yoma  as henchmen, all of them being killed by Grace. In the past, he was an executioner for troublesome claymores  until he gained a new purpose with the Vanguards.

His awakened form was a humanoid composed of numerous large, flexible centipedes with mandibles on the arms. The legs on his arms can extend to impale victims. He can grab enemies, wrap his arms around them, and spear them many times by extending the legs on his arms.

A hunting party composed of Grace, Rae, Valerie, and Sheena were sent eliminate him upon request, searching for him in Tangea. He ambushes Rae, Valerie, and Sheena, pretending to be a helpless man buried in the ground by bandits with only his head exposed. However, he accidentally wonders why there weren't 4 claymores, causing Rae to immediately realize he was the awakened they were sent to kill. Rae attacks him, stabbing into the ground while he reverts to his awakened form. He attacked by drilling underground and attacking from below, wounding Valerie by crushing her bones and Sheena by stabbing her in the gut. He talks about his purpose given by Messire to Rae and catches her, spearing her with his spines. Grace suddenly attacked, slicing up his flesh underneath his hard exoskeleton. He was shocked to see such a low ranking warrior hurt him to that degree. He asked Grace if she really was no 45, enraging her and causing her to vertically bisect his arm, cut him in half at the waist, stab him in the back multiple times, and slice off his mandible. Grace then dragged his head and neck and drowned him in a nearby stream.
