=== Background ===

Despite the fact that she is not very physically strong, she uses her powers to summon a giant hand made of "shadows," and uses it at her will to demonstrate a level of combat that can easily overwhelm the average Jaeger.https://www.gematsu.com/2022/08/the-legend-of-heroes-kuro-no-kiseki-ii-crimson-sin-details-ixs-jolda-garden-master-towa-sherid-zita-and-naje
Ixs and Jolda are the twin children of Gerard Dantes. He is unaware of their existence, and only sired them due to the efforts of the D∴G cult who wanted to propagate his Eldarion Bloodline. They survived the collapse of the cult and were absorbed into Garden under the Garden of Thorns and its warden, Melchior. They received the codename 'ExE' referring to their lineage. As the members of Garden are not permitted names, Jolda took her name from the 'E's in their codename (phonetically in Japanese).
Following the death of Gerard, Ixs and Jolda became the successors of the Eldarion bloodline and therefore capable of wielding the holy demonic sword Apeiron which appeared before them. Jolda usually does so with her shadow hand.
After Swin Abel and Nadia Rayne kill Emperor, the Warden of Swords, Ixs and Jolda are sent to kill them, catching up with them at the Calvardian border. However, they eventually escape into Crossbell, and Garden suspends the pursuit.
Following the deaths of Garden's Wardens Olympia and Arioch during Almata's plans, Melchior, the last surviving warden ordered all of Garden's remnants to kill each other, with those left standing earning their freedom. Ixs and Jolda relished in the chance for this and slaughtered their former comrades for days until only they were left. Through this action, Garden was functionally dissolved as an organization.

Ixs and Jolda take up employment with Ellroy Harwood.
Jolda is present in Langport assisting Cao Lee with his plans, and keeping an eye on the eighth Oct-Genesis fragment. She retrieves it from the ground after Van and the party free it from Gouran's grip. She later confronts the party alongside Cao in the tower. She meets up with her brother Ixs and Ellroy later, ready for the next part of their plan.
Jolda assists Ellroy with his plan on Nemeth Island, where she stands with Ellroy and Ixs on the cliffside. The twins maintain a lookout vantage point on the island to look for targets and enforce Van and the party to cooperate with Elroy's tour of the island, lest he release deadly toxins that will wipe out everyone upon it. The party discover this vantage point and blackmail her into supporting them against Kasim Al-Fayed who they cannot defeat without assistance. She reluctantly agrees and assist in the forthcoming battle. In the catacombs beneath Nemeth, where Paradise is located, the twins confront the party and reveal their background, including their history with the cult, Garden and their inheritance of Apeiron. They reveal a reactor weapon recreated by F. Novartis and either will trigger the weapon and blow up everyone on the island if one is taken out before the other. This will trigger a reset unless both twins are taken out simultaneously.
After the events on Nemeth, Lucrezia Isselee and Walter Kron are put in charge of minding the Twins whilst the other Anguis figure out what to do about Ellroy.
Ixs, Jolda and Ellroy confront the party one last time in the Octradium. They lose but Ellroy proclaims them worthy enough to jointly hold the position of Enforcer XX, and they withdraw.
