==Story arc==
===History===
====Lost Jerusalem====
Known as Yeshua during ancient times, chaos is the human incarnation of Anima, a failsafe installed in the universe. Yeshua and Mary Magdalene acted as disciples for the Messiah, Jesus. However, they were persecuted by Wilhelm, the Guardian of the Lower Domain who saw him and Mary as threats to life of the Lower Domain, fearing the failsafe's activation. Yeshua and Mary then created Zarathustra as a means to save to save the universe by accessing the Upper Domain, via his Anima powers. However Zarathustra ended up falling into Wilhelm's hands, and he installed the Eternal Recurrence program into it. 
Even though very little is known about his life from this time, Yeshua knew the previous incarnation of the Maiden of Mary. Yet due to their actions, his Anima powers almost activated, and in order to prevent the destruction of the universe, Mary divided his power into twelve Vessels of Anima, at the cost of Mary's life. The Vessels of Anima and Mary were later buried within Rennes-le-Château in order to hide them from Wilhelm. As a result, Yeshua lost much of his powers and became little more than a spectator for the universe, now going by the name "chaos".
