The mech shares certain features with his more humanesque hologram form, including three eyes, facial markings, and roses, although the roses on the mech are made of a brassy metal and have horns at the end of their vines rather than petals. Surrounding the mech are a series of floating coffins with carvings of an unknown woman on them.

He is loyal to GEIST, or at least he presents himself to be.

## History

### Creation

Rhadamanthys was created by GEIST at some point in the past to act as a powerful administrative tool. Its primary function was to collect data about the citizens of Fuse City and filter it through a powerful predictive algorithm that could pinpoint "potential criminals". Fuse City administration would then act on this prediction, often placing possible criminals under preemptive house arrest to stop their predicted crimes from occuring. Following the production of OPIA's own, fully sapient AI, GEIST agents stole the technology and imbued the GEIST AI with true sapience of his own.

### Against FLOW

Rhadamanthys first made himself known to the agents of FLOW during a mission to rescue Colt from a GEIST warehouse after he had been possessed by Demons. He attempted to ambush and hijack the OPIA AI Circuit, but she was saved by Twice, a senior FLOW agent. He then inhabited his physical body and attempted to apprehend FLOW personally, but he was held off by Ridill Arondite's ESP. The following morning, he ambushed Ridill in the warehouse and asked about why she had been put in charge of the Flame of Creation before attacking her. After Ridill was rescued by Twice, the GEIST AI entered combat with Treble, who seemed to have been successful in fighting him off. Some time later, during OPIA's contract renegotiations with GEIST, Rhadamanthys appeared before Ridill in hologram form, reminding her that her role was to save the world and not to change it.

During OPIA's battle against the Demonic Court of Death, Rhadamanthys led an invasion of OPIA HQ alongside a contingent of GEIST simulacrums, some of which were mysteriously imbued with the powers of stolen Reflections. After using his own Reflection, Signal, to disable FLOW agent Ascalon, he was successful in forcing the OPIA and FLOW agents present into OPIA's Reflection hall, where he attempted to steal many Reflections. However, before much could be done, the AI Cast used their own Reflection to encase all of OPIA, including the GEIST AI, in a blanket of crystal. Following the liberation of OPIA, Rhadamanthys seemed to have retreated.

### Act Two

With Number Five as the sole remaining CEO following the Court of Death's attack, GEIST shifted their approach from supressing to aiding FLOW. As part of this, during a large-scale assault by the Demonic Courts on Fuse City, Rhadamanthys joined the battle on the side of FLOW, using his physical body to engage with a large demon. After the battle concluded, he approached Satyr and Circuit alongside Number Five within a physical humanoid body. He attempted to be friendly to them, but neither of the OPIA agents were buying it. Some time later, he spoke to Number Five and Siegfried MAXIMUM regarding GEIST's next move now that the Seers in Cialla were taking active steps to progress Laphadel's plan.

## Abilities

As an AI, Rhadamanthys holds an extremely efficient ability to process information. Additionally, he seems to have the ability to easily hack into most forms of technology, including more esoteric technology, such as Flame-based technology. This includes OPIA's own AI.

### Reflection

Rhadamanthys is a Reflection user. He wields the Reflection Signal, a Demonic Arm with the ability to manipulate electronic information in a variety of ways. It is also quite powerful as a simple spear, which the he makes plenty of usage of.
