## History

Much of his history is unknown, even to himself, but it is known that he lived in the World of Zoar under Nerose Satanael. Little is known of this first life of his, and all one can go off of is prediction based upon the state of the Third Heaven. He himself explained that it was a World of Magic, where even children could fly. Where many things considered myth in the Fourth Heaven being mere Common Sense in the Third.​

Though what we do know beyond a shadow of a doubt is that he managed to take the Throne from Nerose, taking advantage of a Time Paradox created by the God, atomizing him with a single blast from Sequere Naturam. Becoming the God of a new World.

His World, Omega Ewigkeit , was that of Recurrence and Foreknowledge. Infinitely repeating untill his deepest wish is fufilled. That being to die in the arms of Marie.

Along with this he created the Multiverse, recreating all things, and creating a branching tree of infinite possibilities, countless parallel worlds.

He took on countless aliases throughout his life during the Cycle of Dies Irae, typically historical occultists and alchemists.

## **Alessandro di Cagliostro**

He was born on the 2nd of June, 1743 in Palermo, Italy under the name of Giuseppe Balsamo.
Born to a poor family in Albergheria he did not have the odds in his favour, though his grandfather and uncles made sure that the young Giuseppe recieved a solid education.
Through his youth he had a facination with the occult, and kept on falling deeper and deeper into the occult.

In 1768 he began adventuring, becoming a self-styled magician who went around Europe under the allias of Alessandro di Cagliostro, where he quickly became a glamorous figure associated with the royal courts of Europe where he pursued various occult arts, including psychic healing, alchemy and scrying. It is likely during this period that he awoke to his identity as a sensory.

In the year 1775, he appeared to Anna Marie Shwagerin, who was convicted as a Witch and was about to be executed for her heathenism.  He granted her the power she needed to fight against her captors and escape her fate. Than he returned to the darkness.

In time he grew bored with the World, and began to search for a way to die. He was at the end of his life, growing tired of the stagnancy of the World when he met a young French girl named Magurite Breuil. Upon seeing her for the first time he immediatly fell in love with her.

He saw her as a being of utmost beauty and brillance, incomparably immaculate. A being who was absolute in her otherness, in her purity. He could safely say that meeting her was the one true moment of brillance, of joy, that he found amongst the miserable ordeal of his life.  She changed him, giving him a purpose, a goal to seek after.

Thus he began to loop all of history, in the hope that she could ascend to a Hadou God and take the Throne, and that he could die in her embrace. His love overflowing into all of his future Sensories.

### **Death**

In 1785 he was prosecuted in the Affair of the Diamond Necklace, although his connetcion to the affair was doubtful. He was held in the Batsille for a period of nine months before he was aquitted as no evidence could be found to convict him. However he was nonetheless banished from France by the order of King Louis XVI, and departed to England.

There he was accused by the French exatriate Theveneau de Morande of being Guiseppe Balsamo. Which he adamantly denied in his published *Open Letter to the English People*, forcing Theveneau to retract his statement and apologize for his allegations.

After this he left for Rome and met two people who turned out to be spies for the Inquistion, and on 27 December 1789 he was arrested and imprisoned in the Castel Sant'Angelo. Where he was originally tried and sentenced to death. But this sentence was later commuted to life imprisonement in the Forte di San Leo where he would die on the 26th of August, 1795.

## **Karl Krafft**

Karl Krafft was born on the 10th of May, 1900 in Basel, Switzerland.

He graduated from the University of Mathematics, and for the best part of a decade he worked on a massive book entitled *Traits of Astro-Biology*. Which expounded his own theory of "Typocosmy": the prediction of the future based on the study of an individual's personality, or type.

As Karl Krafft he, along with countless other occultists around Germany during the reign of the Third Reich, was to be captured and persecuted.

Though he did garner the curiosity of the Reich, when he predicted the November 8th Assassination of Adolf Hitler, along with Joseph Gobbles, Reinhard Heydrich, Rudolph Hess, Robert Ley, Alfred Rosenburg, Julius Streicher, August Frank, Herman Esser, and Heinrich Himmler.

To his prediction, a bomb went off at Bürgerbräukeller, planted by George Essler; and while Krafft was not the reason for their survival, his accurate prediction of it did garner suspision.

## **Die Mommendamurang**

He was taken to Gestapo Headquaters for investigation, and, in the Timeline of Dies Irae, met with Reinhard Heydrich and brought about his ascension.

He hijacked the Obsidian Round Table, and gifted them with the Ewigkiet, giving power to the Table of Demons. This allowed them to turn from a mere group of occultists roleplaying as Knights, into true Demons that defy common sense.

### **"Death"**

He let himself be arrested on June 12th, 1941 as part of a crackdown on astrologers, faith healers and occultists after Rudolf Hess's flight to Scotland. While imprisoned, his health gradually began to detiriorate and he developed a Persecution Complex.

He predicted the destruction of the Propaganda Ministry by Brittish Bombs and soon afterward died of Typhus on January 8th, 1945 en route to the Buchenwald Concentration Camp.

Though this was but a ploy to get himself off of the radar and out of the public's eye. So that he can more wholly devout himself to the Longinus Dreizehn Orden.

### **Lotus and Michael**

He took a particular intrest in Lotus Reichhart and Michael Wittmann, two Soldiers that fought for the Axis. The latter being of great reknown, and used as part of the German Propaganda Machine.

After seeing them both perish at *Operation Totalize*on the 8th of August, 1944. Mercurius fused part of his own Soul with both of them. One fused to Michael to create Machina, the other fused with Lotus to create Zarathustra Übermensch.
He had the young Zarathustra be moved to Suwahara City, which was currently being built up by Rot Spinne; and he tasked Spinne with observing the growth of the boy.

## **Interview with Kaziklu Bey**

He met with Wilhelm Ehrenburg and Claudia Jerusalem at the Paderborner Dom, a Roman Catholic Cathadrel in Paderborn, Germany. Here he informed Wilhelm about the summons to Wewelsburg Castle.

## **Dies Irae**

### **Kei Route**

He granted Shirou Yusa a Relic, that of Die Blutgrafin.
He broke the Swastika.

### **Marie Route**

He interupted the fight between Ren and Reinhard, explaining his intentions before allowing them to proceed.

He requests Marie, now a Hadou God, to embrace him and take his life. So that the Cycle of Reccurrence can finally end. But she refuses to oblige him, he was confused by her demur, though ultimately accepted; and for there was still a chance for Marie to

   Embrace him in the future, however slim it may of been, his Law did not activate.

Abdicating the Throne to Marie, he takes the position as her Guardian alongside Ren and Reinhard.

### **Rea Route**

He granted Ren Fuji his blood, allowing him to activate Eine Faust Finale.
He battles with Ren and Reinhard over possession of the Throne, all Three at the level of Atziluth.
During this battle they wind up destroying the Throne itself, for it was unable to take the intensity of their strength. Being shattered in a single attack, that of Disce Libens, condensing all stars in the infinite multiverse into a singular point, creating a black hole that eradicated all of creation, including the Throne itself.

At the end of the battle he dies in Marie's arms, as he had desired for so long. Though he caused the World to cycle once more before he passed away, thus this cycle passed without his influence.

## **Fifth Heaven**

​​​​He acted as one of the Guardians of the Fifth Heaven, though he perished in the Fight against the Sixth Heaven. Unable to stand up to Hajun.

### **Alternate Timeline**

In one timeline Hajun is defeated before he can take the Throne. Though Ren, Reinhard, and Marie all die in the Battle. Leading to Mercurius taking the Throne once again. Reversing time back to the events of Dies Irae, and taking steps to prevent the rise of Hajun.
This led to the events of Rea's Route, divergent from the path of proper history, that being Marie's route.

## **Dies Irae: Pantheon**

He was brought back to life from the Memory of the Throne by Naraka, though for what purposes he was brought back is still yet unknown.
He began to set his mind towards a new goal, not that of death, but rather of the discovery of his mysterious origins, in order to free himself from the shackles of his past.
