Kryptos is an interdimensional criminal from an unknown dimension[4] who is a member of Bill Cipher's gang.
History[]
Background[]
Eons before the events of the series, Kryptos indulged in criminal activities before being called together by Bill Cipher, along with the rest of his gang.[4]
Season 2[]
In Weirdmageddon Part 1," during the cold open, Bill introduces Kryptos with the rest of his friends to the residents of Gravity Falls. Afterwards, on Main Street, Kryptos and the others watch Bill turn Ford into a lifeless golden statue and taunt Dipper (though Kryptos shows concern for Dipper after he is injured by Bill) before burning the journals. Later in the episode, Kryptos is seen playing "Spin the Person" and enjoying the "V.I.P." party Bill is having at the Fearamid until Time Baby and the Time Paradox Avoidance Enforcement Squadron crash the party. To the demons' delight, Bill vaporizes Time Baby and his squadron. The party then continues as Kryptos and the other beings rejoice over Time Baby's presumed death.
In "Weirdmageddon 2: Escape From Reality," Kryptos and the rest of Bill's minions attempt to leave Gravity Falls to spread their chaos worldwide, only to be stopped by an invisible barrier around the town. He is later seen wearing a sling, meaning he broke his arm during the collision.
In "Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back The Falls," Kryptos participates in the battle against the Shacktron. Following Bill's defeat, the being is sucked back into the Nightmare Realm along with his comrades.
Appearance[]
Kryptos' appearance is similar to Bill, as Kryptos is also a floating geometric shape with black limbs. Like Bill, Kryptos is based on the symbol of a secret society, in this case, the masonic compass. He is a grey-navy colored rhombus. The top perimeter of his body resembles a compass, with a functioning eye at the turning point, and the bottom perimeter resembles a square ruler. Additionally, Kryptos has a large wide mouth with buck teeth, wears black gloves and has a small light blue aura.

Trivia[]
- In concept, Kryptos was originally going to be named Andrew, be colored purple, and have a large purple aura.[1]
- Kryptos may have a deeper connection to Bill than the rest of Bill's goons, as he appears to come from the second dimension as well.
- Like Bill, Kryptos has one eye, primarily floats, and is based on the symbol of a secret society (Bill is based on the Illuminati, and Kryptos is based on the Masons).
- With the information from the Book of Bill and ThisIsNotAWebsite.com, this connection might not be as deep as perceived, since Bill is considered the sole survivor of his dimension. If from the second dimension like Bill, Kryptos may be from a separate dimension within it, though so far there isn't any evidence suggesting Euclydia wasn't the whole of the second dimension.
- Either way, this suggests that Kryptos, like the rest of Bill's henchmaniacs, is simply from another dimension to Bill.
- In the Bill Cipher AMA, Bill mentioned that he doesn't like Kryptos, though he was probably referring to the real life statue of the same name.
- According to Bill in The Book of Bill, Kryptos ghostwrites his riddles.
