## Lord of Mysteries

### Volume 1: Clown

Azik Eggers was first mentioned when Klein Moretti examined the journal belonging to the original owner of his current body. Azik argued with Professor Cohen about the inevitability of the Age of Steam. He was of the opinion that it was a coincidence, and if not for Emperor Roselle, the Northern Continent would still be swinging swords like the Southern Continent.

A few days later, when Klein went to Tingen University to cancel his interview, Azik and Professor Cohen were present to attend an academic conference. After discussing the deaths of Welch and Naya, Azik mentioned that the name Antigonus rings a bell, yet he cannot remember why. After Professor Cohen denied having any impression of it, Azik concluded that perhaps he remembered wrong. Before leaving for the academic conference, they agreed to write to Klein if they discovered anything related to the Antigonus Family and the Fourth Epoch.

Two months later, when Klein returned to Khoy University to read the book *‘Research of the Hornacis Main Peak’s Relics’*, Azik was responsible for supervising him. Mr. Azik pointed out the disharmony in Klein's fate after claiming to have dabbled in divination during his time at Backlund University. He asked has Klein encountered any strange coincidences in the past two months, to which Klein admitted three. Azik quoted Emperor Roselle in saying that *‘Thrice is when one should consider what internal factors are influencing those coincidences’*. His observations led Klein to the discovery that there was a mastermind behind the events in Tingen City.

Azik later admitted that he possesses supernatural power. He told Klein that he woke up in Backlund and discovered that he had forgotten all about the past. He asked Klein to help him find his past.

Klein found a clue to Azik's past in Lamud Town. It's revealed that Azik was the first Baron Lamud. Azik recalled minor things when he saw the headless skeleton in the coffin. He said that it was his son and he sensed the power that made Klein's fate disharmonious. Azik decided to continue to investigate and search for the person who took his son's skull.

Azik decided to go to Backlund in search of his lost memories. He gave his Copper Whistle to Klein, to communicate with each other via letter.

In Backlund, after receiving Klein's letter, Azik went to kill Qilangos and obtained Creeping Hunger. When he received another letter from Klein about Megose, he couldn’t rush back on such short notice, hence he was ten minutes late to save Klein from being killed by Ince Zangwill.

### Volume 2: Faceless

Azik went back to Backlund. He had been secretly observing the people from MI9 and the royal family to confirm Ince Zangwill’s whereabouts. So MI9 placed a bounty on him.

He happened to wander around the Red Rose Manor's area when Klein was in danger due to Sealed Artifact 0-08 and rescued Klein from the meteorite that fell in time. They escaped through the spirit world, landing in the ancient underground ruin near Backlund, and confronted Ince Zangwill. Azik let Klein escape, while he fought against Ince Zangwill and an Imperative Mage. Unfortunately, the situation got out of control, and Ince Zangwill and his friend managed to escape successfully. Later Azik gave Creeping Hunger to Klein before continuing his journey to awaken more memories.

### Volume 3: Traveler

During his journey for awakening more of his memories, he still replied to Klein's letters. Attached to one, he returned the Black Emperor card he borrowed from Klein. He remembered that he should have participated in the War of the Four Emperors, but the exact details were still blurry. He concluded that it might be because of some injury from back then that caused him to lose memories and to die over and over again, like the characteristic of Sequence 4 Undying.

After Klein's failed raid against Admiral Ailment Tracy, Klein went back to the ship with Azik to recover the ancient chronicles related to Death. There, Azik met with his old acquaintance, who was a Demoness of Despair 1300 years ago in the Pale Era, and now is a Demoness of Unaging - Katarina Pelle. From her, he knew they once cooperated to fight against the Saints and Angels of the Church of the Evernight Goddess, and once he was the Balam Empire's Death Consul.

When traversing the spirit world with Klein after leaving the Black Death, he suddenly felt the call of his bloodline and stopped in front of a broken tombstone. He recalled that in one of his lives, he had a daughter and that it was her grave. She has been dead for 926 years.

When he parted ways with Klein, he suddenly asked if Klein was afraid that he would become an evil person like a Demoness after fully recovering his memories. It should be noted that Azik too felt very worried, but he had a greater desire to discover more about himself.

Later, after Klein blew up the Copper Whistle that belonged to the Numinous Episcopate member who participated in the Artificial Death project, Azik came to rescue Klein and cleanse the Death influence from him. Then they quickly shuttled through the spirit world to a safer area.

### Volume 4: Undying

In the letter that Klein received, Azik said that he was rather late in giving a reply because he needed some time to digest the previous experiences and was going through slumber to recover more of his memories. He later visited Klein to reseal the enhanced Creeping Hunger and recover the rumored Death's Ring held by Admiral Hell, Ludwell. Azik ordered Ludwell to become Klein's marionette for a year.

After recovering Death's Ring, he and Klein went to the ruins beneath the Berserk Sea, which was speculated by Klein as being the legacy of Death. Inside the ruins, he saw a huge illusory winged snake with a human face, his own face. From the sudden memory rush that hit him, he quickly understood that the feathered serpent was another Azik Eggers.

It all stemed from the secret attempt made by Death before he fell. Death, Salinger, had foreseen his own ending, and so secretly pulled Azik's soul out of his body and divided it into two half. The first half was fused with the Uniqueness of the Death pathway and became the main subject of the "Artificial Death" plans, which was started and operated by Numinous Episcopate.

The second half of Azik's soul was fused with a golden, bird-shaped ornament and returned to Azik's body. Due to the fact that Azik's soul wasn't complete, he had repeatedly lost his memories every couple of decades. According to Death's plan, when the two parts of Azik's soul fuse together again, Death Salinger shall revive from Azik's body. That was exactly the moment that he realized the soul-merging ritual to revive the late Death had begun.

At the last moment before the soul-merging process was complete, the Evernight Goddess, who descended by using the Angel of Concealment as "Her" Vessel, came to his rescue. "She" offered him three choices. First, to let the late Salinger revive from his body. Second, "She" would help him extract his half soul and allow him to take it with him. He would have to find a way to stitch it together, but at the cost of renouncing all of his memories and being reborn again as the previous cold and merciless Balam Empire's Death Consul. Third, to leave everything behind and be stuck at his current sequence with no way of advancing further. He would still die over and over again, waking up with no memories, and repeatedly search for his past experiences.

Azik chose the third option, to keep the current memories and live with an incomplete soul.

When Klein asked that how can he live with an incomplete soul forever, he said that at least the current state is not that bad. He would still be the same as before, foreseeing his own death, arranging everything for his next life, forgetting everything, resurrecting and waking up, and then starting to look for his own past again. At least, compared to the past, there was still Klein, someone who knew a lot about Azik. So Azik believed that even if he forgot his past, he should be able to recall it again when he saw Klein's letter.

He added that going into slumber was not something bad, as he could at least dream of accompanying his wife while basking in the sun and guiding his stubborn son to learn about the sword. Before leaving Klein, Azik gave the Copper Whistle to Klein and asked him to write, though Azik would not reply until he woke up.

### Volume 8: Fool

He woke up from his sleep at the end of Volume 8, after a skip in time. He read all of Klein's letters and then replied to him, promising to journey the world and write letters to Klein about the interesting things, people and traditions that Azik would encounter.

### Volume 3: Conspirer

The Tarot Club is currently trying to heal Azik's sleeping fractured spirit using the river water of the River of Eternal Darkness. After acquiring water from the Samaritian's Women's Spring, Justice entered Azik's dream and spilt the water over the mausoleum that was split in half, representing his fractured spirit. According to her, two more rounds of the water would suffice.
