History
Long ago, Lotus left his maritime world of Solaris to go to Pandemonium for reasons unknown. There, he joined Hilder's journey across the universe to find the "Apostles" and was later granted the title as the 'Eighth Apostle of Pandemonium'.
In Arad Year 989, while he was hibernating, Lotus was transferred from Pandemonium to atop the flying sky whale above the Arad Continent called Behemoth. Upon his arrival, he used his mind-control powers to gradually take control of its residents, the members of the GBL Order, to discern his new location. He then retreated to an old temple in the back of Behemoth and controlled the members of the GBL to build structures around him to prevent him from being dehydrated from the sun and supply him with enough water to survive. As time went on, he used the GBL members as a source of food and subsistence for his children.
As a result of the mind control and the threat of Lotus, many of the GBL members were driven insane and killed each other. Those who remained acted as his personal religious fanatics and bodyguards against intruders. At the same time, despite his weakened state, Lotus channeled his abilities in an attempt to control Behemoth into going into the Middle Ocean to absorb its mana and regain his powers.
However, in Arad Year 995, his plan was thwarted by the efforts of a group of Adventurers, the armies of the De Los Empire and the Principality of Bel Myre, and two of the Four Legendary Blade Masters. Although only at around 10% of his true power, Lotus puts up a considerable fight but meets his inevitable end. Upon his death, he reveals in his parting words the prophecy of his death and the eventual destruction of the Arad world.
"Ugh... As the holy book has predicted, I die here... I will ask you one last time. Am I evil? That's probably how you see it... You are nothing but mere puppets that risk lives to make the Holy book's prophecy come true... In my eyes, you are evil. You are foolish... Oh humans, Sirocco has foretold what was going to happen to you in the future as she was dying... Soon, your inevitable extinction will be made clear. Uggghk..."
~~Lotus's Final Words
Afterward, Lotus' demise released a surge of metastatic energy and his Apostle essence formed new rivers and springs in Pandemonium.
Pre-Great Metastasis
Lotus' mind control persisted after his death, affecting the remaining GBL members who set up a branch in West Coast known as the Temple of Apostasy. There, the leaders of the Arad Branch, Isadora and Vangelis secretly attempted to resurrect Lotus through his few remaining eggs known as Lotus Spawn.
Lotus's contingency plan, in the event of his demise. Each spawn is an exact replica of the original.
~~Lotus Spawn Card Flavor Text
Ophelia Bagrans, concerned with the well-being of the GBL members, dispatches Adventurers to investigate and discovers the truth. Soon after, Lotus's eggs are destroyed, and the threat of Lotus is no more.
Note: The story containing Lotus's Resurrection was removed in the Great Metastasis Update.
Mirror Arad
In the parallel universe Mirror Arad, upon Lotus's arrival upon Behemoth in the Arad Year 989, the GBL Order, under the leadership and quick thinking of Ophelia Bagrans and through a great many losses, successfully seal away the Apostle in an old temple with powerful magic. However, as time passed, the seal gradually weakened...
In Arad Year 995, the seal is broken and Lotus uses his mind-control powers to take control of Behemoth and drive it into the ocean. However, before he could complete his plan, he was killed by a group of Adventurers, the armies of the De Los Empire and the GBL, and three of the Four Legendary Blade Masters.
