The Nameless Ripper's first note after his attack on Barbaros
Romun military police officer Euron boarded the Lombardia after he received a tip by his partner, stating that the Nameless Ripper was on board. A while after the Lombardia shipwrecked and the survivors who were washed ashore on the Isle of Seiren had set up a base in Castaway Village, Captain Barbaros was attacked by the Nameless Ripper. Barbaros got away with a wound, but the attack struck fear into the castaways.

Sir Carlan panicked and tried to flee the island in the small boat the castaways had built. His attempt was thwarted by the same giant sea monster that attacked the Lombardia, which sunk Sir Carlans boat.
The steel wire used in the Nameless Ripper's traps
Adol's party investigated and found a steel wire trap just outside Castaway Village, a weapon commonly used by Romun guerrila warfare troops. They soon found a suspect after combining their new evidence with their previous interrogations. The Nameless Ripper quickly revealed his identity once confronted and fled the village. On pursuit, Captain Barbaros walked into one of his traps and received a fatal wound. Adol's party caught up with the Nameless Ripper and fought him. After the fight, the Nameless Ripper tried to retreat but was eaten by the Avalodragil.
In the redux timeline where The Great Tree of Origins was not there to start a Lacrimosa, so it's unknown what happened to him.
