Elohim

**Elohim** is one of the top 9 (Formerly 10) Clans within the Obelisk, with them being noted to heavily utilize Holy Power as their members prime source of power and them only exclusively accepting and recruiting Ranker's from "Superior Species" due to the unique and immense powers they innately possess.

## History

In ancient times, during the early days of the Obelisk, Elohim was once a tribe of transcendent Gods that lived within the Tower's 98th Floor alongside the other Pantheons of Gods, Demons and Dragons.

However due to an unknown event, Elohim was banished from the 98th Floor and their status and power as Gods removed by All-For-One. They were then consequently banished to the Lower floors, reducing them to mortals.

## Structure

### Members

Uniquely to their Clan, Elohim is known as the only one of the top 9 Clans to exclusively recruit Rankers who were born to the "Superior Races" of Demi-Humans within the tower. With them being noted to have successfully horded a considerable number of such members from a wide variety of different, hard to find races, as their members. And due to the unique powers and immense racial potential each of the Superior Races possess, each member was noted to be immensely powerful.

### Races

* **High Elf**
	+ Runt (Killed by the Hoarder)
* **Protogenoi**
	+ Aether (Member of the Senate and secretly an ally to the Devil Army) (Killed by Cha Jeong-woo)
	+ Hemera (Killed by Aether)
	+ Ione (Member of the Consul) (Killed during the battle against the Summer Queen and Martial King)
	+ Panthe (Senator/Potential Consul Member) (Inheritor to Ione's titles) (Killed by the "Hoarder")
	+ Uros (Leader of the Seven Man Unit) (One of the leaders of the Protogenoi Tribe)
* **Incarnated Gods**
	+ Brahm (Formerly)
* **Half-Demons**
* **Fallen Angels**
* **Vanir**
* **Fairies**

### Senate

As revealed, Elohim's main leadership body is primarily compromised of a leading government like senate. Where each race was shown to possess their own representatives that speak out for their respective interests. With each member being high ranked leaders or field leader that are charged with various assignments for the clan's benefit. As seen where Aether and his sister Hemera are given responsibilities and assignments to further the clan's power base and pure blooded philosophy.

Members of the Senate are later revealed to be a heraldry position and nothing more, members are considered powerful and are influential enough to be allowed to lead operations approved by the Clan, but other than that, unless someone has stronger pull and relationships/connections with the other members, they can have little to no actual say in matters regarding the clan. This is seen where many members of the clan don't actually treat, see or respect Aether despite his position as a senate member and he has no other power within the clan under his name other than this superficial position and title.

This was later confirmed by Ione during the downfall of Walpurgisnacht, where due to his failure to acquire the Emerald Tablet and him having lost the entirety of elite Ranker that accompanied him from Elohim, he had already concluded that such a failure would result in him losing his high rank within the Clan's Consul and he would be relegated as a Backroom Senator that would inevitably drag his own family and blood relatives down with him.

The Senate Members:

* Aether (Senator) (deceased)
* Hemera (Senator) (deceased)
* Panthe (Senator) (deceased)

### Consul

However it was later revealed that beneath the Senate, there is an even higher governing body called the Consul that is seemingly made out of the "Family Heads" of the most influential families of the highest "superior races" within the clan and is implied to be the true rulers and democratic governing body of the clan.

The Consul positions is stated to be typically comprised of three members as a way to insure checks and balances of the power of the various factions within Elohim.

However currently due to the loses inflicted by the latest war against, Red Dragon and later the conflict against White Dragon, where Waltz successfully killed all three previous members of their Consul, Elohim has now abolished the three Consul rule and has now brought back the authoritarian system of focusing power on a single individual due to the dangerous situation Elohim now faces.

The Consul Members are;

* Ione (Consul Member) (deceased) (killed trying to kill the Summer Queen)
* Three Unnamed Consul Members (deceased) (killed by Waltz)
* Panthe (Future Prospect)
* Magnus (" The Roman Dictator") (Currently the sole Consul and leader of Elohim) (Deceased) (Killed by "Cha Jeong-woo")

### Council of Elders

After the deaths of Magnus and the near collapse of Elohim's leadership structure due to numerous leaders of the clan's most powerful families having been killed during the raid on the Dragon Labyrinth and the mechations of the "Hoarder", Elohim has now fallen into a new leadership council system of their elders, the oldest and most experience members left, to lead their forces.

As seen during "Heaven Wings" raid on their Assembly, the Elders are all members of their respective clan and bloodlines that has successfully managed to compile a gigantic amount of Holy power and Divine Factors horded through the generations of their respective clans. And through their research, the Elders themselves have gained the skill **[Ancient Species Restoration]**, where each Elder was capable of transforming into a near transcendent monster of legend that is long since extinct and only appears in the legends and myths of the Obelisk. So far they have shown to be able to transform into a Lion with Wings, a Griffin and a Leviathan.

The Council members are;

* Unnamed Elders of Elohim
* Bayluk ("Dictator")

However due to the situation of Bayluk, a former member and traitor of Arthia, coming to their rescue during Saber Gods attack on Elohim, a majority of Elohim's members have begun leaning more towards Bayluk to be their new leader and the other members of Elohim's council are beginning to lose control and influence over the clan to him.

### Seven Man Squad

Elohim also possess its own elite unit of Rankers comprised of its most powerful members. The Unit itself was shown to be comprised of Elves and Fairies

The Members of this unit are;

* Uros (Leader) (deceased)

* Yeoncham (deceased)
* Arsen (deceased)

### Infallible Corps Soldiers

The Infallible Corps Soldiers or Infallible Solders for Short, were a elite unit of Elohim's top soldiers. They were separated at birth from their parents to receive military training and they only lived to ensure the Elohim’s prosperity. They were feared by many since they were skilled in all aspects of combat: magic, horsemanship, swordsmanship, spearmanship, archery, and defensive formations.

### Defensive Forces of The Peals of the Great

Elohim also possessed their own defensive forces assigned to protect and defend their sub-space base from enemy invasions.

Its Members are;

* Cheonho Ari (Leader)
* Unnamed Rankers

### Headhunting

Due to them placing much importance and pride in only recruiting Ranker belonging to Superior Races, Elohim is noted to actively headhunt for such Ranker when they appear to join their clan similar to the other Top 9 Clans. Only Elohim, Uniquely makes active attempts to revive and continue the Races that they desire in order to have full monopoly over the powerful Rankers such a race can give birth to and expand their power.

### Ideology

Elohim is shown to have a highly elitist and racist ideology that firmly reinforces their ranks. The members of the clan firmly believe in the superiority of the so called "superior races" of Demi-Humans and their right to lord over the "lesser races" by right due to their genetics. The members themselves are shown to be incredibly prejudiced and almost completely judges someone solely on their bloodline, race and family rather than actual talents or accomplishments. As seen in the members treatment of Aether who despite being a powerful high ranker and has shown his worth in battle and merits, has continued to suffer constant persecution, ridicule and distrust from the clan's higher ups due to his father's previous actions of attempting to usurp control of the clan for himself.

Due to many of the races and families of the clan being descended from Gods and being who once had divinity, such as the High Elf race and the Protogenoi race, many of the members possess highly inflated ego's bordering on complete narcissistic arrogance that causes frequent infighting with each members. And due to the immense importance they place on the "Superior Races" and Bloodlines, the clan itself desires to horde and monopolize the individuals descendants from these bloodlines to satisfy their egos and monopolize their powers for themselves alone.

This is seen during Elohim's Operation to ambush Brahm and acquire the Quarter Dragonoid Human, Sesha for the expressed purpose of using her to restart the now extinct Dragon Race in order to have full monopoly over it and finally overpower the Summer Queen and defeat the Red Dragon Clan by using the unique powers of the Dragons.

They were also willing to do the same with Ananta after purchasing her from Walpurgisnacht and use her as a "seed bed" to restart the dragon race. Its also been stated by Aether that they would have also liked to have acquire the dead corpse of Cha Jeong-woo to use it for the same reason as well.

Due to their obsession with "Preserving the Blood of the Superior Race's" , its been stated by Yeon-woo that some of the clan's families have even begun resorting to incest and marriage to their close relatives to maintain the necessary genetics of their ancestors (who were descendants of Gods) to still have access to the unique skills and powers passed down to them. This was done due to the fact that the farther away a descendant is from their original godly ancestor's generation, the Divine Powers and Holy Powers they inherited from them diminishes as they get watered down from generation to generation of marrying other regular mortal races, resulting in their godly attributes gradually disappearing or becoming completely dormant. However, as noted by Yeon-woo, Elohim's attempts to "preserve" their bloodlines and genetics have instead begun causing more problems to them than actually helping their cause.

Due to Elohim's desire to regain their abilities and status as Transcendents, they had personally requested Bayluk to come and join their clan in order to use his skills in Alchemy in order to help them in their goal of reviving the "Superior Races" under their control.

### Operations

Due to their obsession with their bloodlines and the fixation with Superior Races within the Tower, Elohim has been shown to primarily focus their resources in insuring the continued survival of their respective races and work to insure that the powerful skills that they inherited from their ancestors are passed down to future generation within the clan. Because of this most of their operations are done to accomplish this goal.

Its been implied that similarly to Walpurgisnacht, Elohim has also been working on projects to engineer and manipulate the biological and genetic make up of their members to accomplish their ideals. Later it was shown that they even brought in Bayluk to assist them in this project.

Later Bayluk was shown to have successfully granted them access to the ability to transform into ancient semi-transcendent species such as Griffins, Winged Lions, Leviathans and Giants by using the Holiness and Divine Factors they inherited from their ancestors. Bayluk in particular was also shown to actually create these species by growing them inside vats and was actually shown to have successfully created Homunculi clones of the Dragon-Human, Cha Jeong-woo that replicated 70-80% of his abilities and power.

### Goal

The End Goal of the Protogenoi members within Elohim has been stated for their regaining of their "rank" as divine beings prior to their "fall" and becoming mortals within the Lower Floors from the 98th Floor of the Obelisk. In other words, to once again return to being Gods.

However another aspect of this goal is Elohim's desire to gain complete monopoly over all the "Superior Races" within the Tower under their sole control. This is seen where they have begin conducting and investing in several endeavors to create the Super Species they desire for the benefit for their own clan. As seen where they attempted to acquire the Quarter Dragon, Sesha, The Half-Dragon/Half-God Ananta and acquire the genetics (or preferably the corpse) of the Dragon Human,Cha Jeong-woo.

Later, Elohim would then approach Bayluk to help them in their goal of reviving the "Superior Races" of their Ancestors. Where through his research, he successfully granted the Elders of Elohim the ability to transform into monsters races that were counted as semi-transcendent species long since extinct using the Divine Factors and Holiness inherited from their ancestors. Bayluk was also able to to grant them to a degree access to the powers of the Dragon Species, where Bayluk managed to successfully create Homunculus clones of Cha Jeong-woo that successfully replicated 70-80% of his power.

### Faith

Elohim is noted to worship their ancestors, who were once Gods and worship the current Gods residing within the 98th Floor of the Obelisk. This is seen where their members were shown to be more than willing to help and follow the orders of the Gods of Olympus when four of their supreme Gods, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter and Hestia , ordered them to go to Tartarus and eliminate a "threat" there.

However despite their active reverence and worship of the Gods, it has been shown that a majority of them actively looks down on them and does not consider them worth their attention. This is seen where Elohim is largely seen as nothing more than tools and pawns in the plans of the Transcendents, as seen where the Gods of Olympus, The Gigantes, The Titans and even the Great Mother, ultimately saw them as nothing more than a means to an end and planned to abandon them the moment they accomplished their orders and cease being useful.

## Bases

### Peals of the Great

Elohim's Sub-Space that primarily acts as their main base of operations. This Sub-space was said to contain their main castle that had the Elder Assembly Hall where the Clan's Higher ups had their gatherings.

## Relationships

Like all of the Top Ten Clans, Elohim has very hostile relationships with the other top clans and are constantly competing against them within the Tower. However it has been shown that they had no problems forging temporary alliances with them if situation called for it.

### Devil Army

Elohim is stated to be bitter enemies against the Devil Army and that Elohim themselves are bitter enemies and competitors as members of the Top Ten Clans of the Obelisk against them. Elohim themselves crafted and created their own unique item made specifically to counter the clan abilities of the Devil Army. [Rule Breaker] a dagger like weapon created specifically to disrupt and cut off the energies given by their connection to the "Heavenly Demons" and weaken its members considerably.

The Devil Army in turn have no problems taking advantage of their implanted mole within Elohim to weaken and destroy its forces from the inside.

Later upon the deaths of almost all of their most powerful members and leadership, Elohim, now under the indirect control of Bayluk, Elohim has now begun considering to enter into an alliance to fight against the recently revived Arthia and the "resurrected Heaven Wing".

### Sea of Time

After the Summer Queen's death and the fragmentation of Red Dragon, Elohim was quick to team up with the Sea of Time in order to lead an assault against Red Dragon's main base within the 76th Floor of the Obelisk in order to plunder the Summer Queen's former territories.

Although they were repelled through the efforts of Waltz, their alliance was still stated to still be going strong as they continue their invasion of the 76th Floor.

### Red Dragon

Like the rest of the Top Clans, Elohim has a very hostile relationship with Red Dragon. This is seen where they actively competed against them during the Auction to acquire the Emerald Tablet during the Auction and again when they targeted the Summer Queen during her final battle in the Fall of Walpurgisnacht

Elohim was noted to have attempted to overpower Red Dragon's Leader, the Summer Queen, for a long time and had made attempts to acquire the power of the Dragons Species to overpower her.

Later after the Queen's death, Elohim took full advantage of the chaos within Red Dragon in an attempt to invade their territory and take it over for themselves by teaming up together with the Sea of Time.

Although their initial siege was unsuccessfully, Elohim is still attempting to take control of the 76th Floor and is currently in open conflict with the fragmented factions of Red Dragon.

### White Dragon

Currently Elohim is in open warfare with this faction of Red Dragon. With them having a personal grudge against the Factions leader, "Spring Queen" Waltz due to her having successfully fought off all of their invasion attempts and her having successfully defeated and killed as least three of their Consul members.

## Trivia

* As stated and observed by Brahm during his time as a member, the members of Elohim is one of the most elitist and most prideful of the top clans. And each member tends to constantly try to out do each other in terms of accomplishment that has lead to the clan to be in a state of near constant infighting and competition, even amongst close blood relatives.
* After Elohim's destruction at the hands of the revived Arthia, its been stated that a few remnants of Elohim had gone into hiding.
