## Biography

### Origins

Rayzoth Eldcliffe was born in the year 435 A.D. According to his dossier and a variety of biographies. He was born into an idyllic, wealthy family; he was endowed with extraordinary wealth, fame, and fortune. He also managed to comprehend every single degree in the Panamoan Republic, making him the planet's smartest man.

Approximately a thousand years before the events of Tales of the Infinity Blade, he was imprisoned in the Vault of Sorrow by Ser Vahn and Jared Affleck Bale before being freed by Brandon Wolfgang Bale, formerly known as Dreadville the Ruthless; who was also responsible for imprisoning him. Despite having been in the underground for so long, he is still aware of potential newcomers worthy of wielding the Infinity Blade and other Infinity weapons.

### Tales of the Infinity Blade: Redemption

It is revealed in Tales of the Infinity Blade: Redemption that the Worker lived as Rayzoth Maxicliff, an inventor. He is described as a modern-day prodigy who served as the CEO of a multi-level corporation. His corporation worked on hyper-advanced technologies like teleportation rings, dropships, stealth bombers, and secret programs like Project Nevian Omega. He also secretly recruited prodigies to join him in Project Omega, where they were researching DNA upgrades to become Deathless.

### Tales of the Infinity Blade: Assumption

During *Tales of the Infinity Blade: Assumption*, Brandon learns of the Worker's location from Shirai. He then travels to the *Vault of Sorrows* to free the Worker in his quest to defeat the Deathless, thinking that the Worker would help him. After managing to activate all three seals of the Tower, Brandon proceeds to enter the Vault. Upon approaching the Worker, Brandon is attacked by Thane Kalisto. After Brandon beats Thane in combat and disarms him, the Worker proceeds to touch Thane on the back with a DNA destabilizer, causing him to fall and writhe on the ground as his DNA and physical body's state are altered forcefully.

The Worker then reveals his great understanding of the DNA and how he destabilised Thane's DNA. In order for the Worker to leave the Vault, Brandon is asked to defeat the Gold King in battle and bring him to the Vault so that he can replace the Worker in his prison. After Brandon returns with the Gold King's unconscious body, the Worker and Brandon prepare to leave the Vault. However, the Worker decides to use the Infinity Blade to imprison Brandon in the Vault. He then reveals his true motivations: to make every Deathless subservient to him by threatening them with the loss of immortality. The Worker also reveals before leaving that Brandon (during his life as Dreadville), not Ser Vahn or Jared Affleck, was responsible for his imprisonment.

### Tales of the Infinity Blade: Sealed the Lies

At the beginning of *Tales of the Infinity Blade: Sealed the Lies*, The Gold King escapes the Vault and proceeds to face the Worker. He pits his minions and Ashimar against him, but Gold King kills them with the Infinity Blade. When the Gold King defeats Ashimar, it is revealed the the Worker has created millions of the Infinity Blades and other infinity weapons for his most trusted Deathless servants. After the Gold King proceeds to the Worker's throne, He mocks the Worker, and they engage in battle. The Worker easily defeats The Gold King in battle and asks that he joins him. He declines the offer and quickly teleports the Worker's data-pod away. The Worker becomes furious, and immediately impales The Gold King in the chest, then beheads with a Galactic Infinity Blade, killing the Gold King permanently.

Afterwards, he is secretly responsible for hiring or persuading most of the rogue warriors, knights, ninjas and various creatures to kill the remaining rebellion of the Knights of the Centurion, particularly Brandon Wolfgang Bale and Elizabeth Palmer. When he knew that Brandon and Elizabeth are coming towards his fortress, he readied a type of advanced machinery, a nuclear warhead which is similar to modern-day versions.

During the finale, Brandon manages to defeat the Worker by counter-stabbing him in the chest with the Infinity Blade with the assistance of Elizabeth. The Worker tells him that the greatsowrd/sword cannot kill him because it was made by him. Brandon Wolfgang Bale proceeds to insert a device called the Redeemer (which alters the DNA of a Deathless so that his memories can be erased, and was used by the Worker to erase Dreadville's memory) into the Infinity Blade, which causes the Worker to disappear in a flash of disorienting blue light, leaving the Infinity Blade behind.

## Personality

Rayzoth is well-known throughout the Panamoan Republic, Radchester, and Lantimor for his astute, cunning, and charismatic personality. He is also known for being kind and cooperative with his peers, prodigies, and partners, treating them with respect and fairness in most situations. After being imprisoned in the Vault of Sorrows, he became determined to change the course of his life, possessing the highest intellect of all Nevian Alphas, which enabled him to create various technologies that are centuries more advanced than the events of Tales of the Infinity Blade, which took place in the 1400s.

Though he is intelligent and charismatic, he is driven by a desire for power, which is why he abandons Brandon Wolfgang Bale, manipulating him to rescue him so that he can escape the vault and rule Lantimor and the Panamoan Republic after his escape. He is also a slacker, as he persuaded all combatants to fight the Knights of the Centurion's rebellion, including Brandon Wolfgang Bale and Elizabeth Palmer; he only fights in combat as a last resort.

> "Oh, did I forget to mention? For me to leave this prison, another Deathless must take my place. I must thank you, Dreadville. Not only have you freed me, but you've eliminated many of my rivals for this world. Those who remain will follow me... Or I will take from them what they hold most dear - their eternal life. Unfortunately, for me to escape, "old friend", I'll have to let you keep your life. You can spend an eternity in this cell. You and Goryel (Gold King) keep each other company. Its only fair - after all, YOU were the one who imprisoned me here to begin with!"

* **Genius Level Intellect**: Rayzoth is a brilliant mind who was ahead of his peers during the events of Tales of the Infinity Blade. In fact, he has developed sophisticated tactics, schemes, and manipulations to fool the world into believing he is a trustworthy individual. His technological inventions are so advanced that they are literally comparable to the technological advancements of the Panamoan Republic in the twenty-first century.

* **Indomitable Swordsman**: Rayzoth is the greatest swordsman, easily outmatching the Gold King, whom was widely regarded as the greatest swordsman to ever live; despite popular belief that he is incapable of fighting with a sword. Despite this, he is outmatched by Brandon Wolfgang Bale, who is assisted by Elizabeth Palmer. Brandon also implies that his unborn grandson, Nicholas Wolfgang Bale, can easily outmatch and overpower him.

* **Telekinetic Ability**: He can use his telekinesis to pull away the Infinity Weapons wielded by his opponents or simply using it to trap his foes with rubble, or flick out devices from their respective containers.

* **Master Engineer**: Throughout Radchester and Lantimor, he has pioneered advanced technologies. His engineered technology is similar to that of the Panamoan Republic's pre-interstellar ascension in the late 1990s. When he stares on at his Deathless prodigies while creating technology, he literally whispers "so primitive."

* **God-Alpha Physiology**: Rayzoth is the most sophisticated and superior Alpha among Alphas. He possessed superhuman attributes and the ability to regrew limbs, as well as the lack of blood on his body.

* **Master Combatant**: Despite spending his entire life working to advance Nexus Prime's technological advancements and treating combat as a last resort, he managed to learn every combat skill he ever encountered, making him an extremely skilled and powerful opponent. Gold King was easily defeated by him, and he used the Infinity Blade and his self-defense combat skills to kill an entire brigade of KOTC.

* **Master Manipulator**: He easily deceived Brandon Wolfgang Bale to "free" him so that he could rule the entire Radchester region and the entirety of Lantimor.
