The First Emerson

Background
At some point in their life this Emerson decided to leave Earth and traveled into space along with the first Crange. The comic implies that Emerson and Crange had a falling out shortly after arriving at what would later be the Wristchapel.

Appearance
When the First Emerson is introduced their appearance is gray and skeleton-like. Both of their antennas are broken, it is most likely that they crumbled to dust due to Emerson's old old age. They uses a wheelchair to commute, usually with an Emerson pushing it for them. Like the other Wristchapel members, First Emerson wears a red cloak with a yellow collar and yellow at the ends of the sleeves, although the colors have faded with time. In The First Emerson, they're initially seen with a grey blanket on their lap, but it's not seen outside of that scene.

Personality
First Emerson is generally angry and obsessive. It is possible that First Emerson is a good speaker as they were able to recruit an enormous amount of Emersons from other spirals into the Wristchapel. They also almost convinced our Crange to stay at the Wristchapel and turn into a tree. Most of the talking we see them doing however, is barking out orders to their other selves or giving out exposition. It makes them feel smart.

Story
First Emerson is first introduced in The First Emerson. During a meeting between all Wristchapel members, Emerson reveals that there is a shortage of Crange. They then turns to Emerson 24679 and demands them to answer why this is. Emerson 24679 then states that there are no more Crange. First Emerson, upon hearing this news, quickly panics and states, "It's the end."

In denial, First Emerson then turns to another Emerson and orders them to pull up footage of the most recent Crange arrivals. They then see our Crange and that he's sprouted. After Cowboy Emerson suggests that they can use the sprouted Crange to get even MORE Crange by letting him grow into a tree, First Emerson enthusiastically agrees.

They're seen again later, responding to the "FUCK-level emergency" button being pressed, where they learn that Sleepy Crange has several arms bursting out of his face, is attacking pod people, and that one rouge Emerson has taken off with the last Crange. The two are heading off to the top chamber which is where First Emerson keeps "God,", much to First Emersons dismay. They get on the Wristchapels intercom and tell the other Emersons about the situation, yelling at them to go get the rouge Emerson, stop Sleepy Crange and stop this chance for closure.

During B.C, we see First Emerson being pushed in their wheelchair hastily through various Emersons fighting Sleepy Crange. As they finally get into the elevator, the Emerson pushing them in their wheelchair is yanked out of the elevator and killed by one of the pod people.
