Story arc

History

Lost Jerusalem

Known as Yeshua during ancient times, chaos is the human incarnation of Anima, a failsafe installed in the universe. Yeshua and Mary Magdalene acted as disciples for the Messiah, Jesus. However, they were persecuted by Wilhelm, the Guardian of the Lower Domain who saw him and Mary as threats to life of the Lower Domain, fearing the failsafe's activation. Yeshua and Mary then created Zarathustra as a means to save to save the universe by accessing the Upper Domain, via his Anima powers. However Zarathustra ended up falling into Wilhelm's hands, and he installed the Eternal Recurrence program into it.

Even though very little is known about his life from this time, Yeshua knew the previous incarnation of the Maiden of Mary. Yet due to their actions, his Anima powers almost activated, and in order to prevent the destruction of the universe, Mary divided his power into twelve Vessels of Anima, at the cost of Mary's life. The Vessels of Anima and Mary were later buried within Rennes-le-Château in order to hide them from Wilhelm. As a result, Yeshua lost much of his powers and became little more than a spectator for the universe, now going by the name "chaos".

Pied Piper

chaos appears in two scenes in Pied Piper and is not named. When Jan has a vision of himself as a child and sees some family members, chaos briefly talks to him, telling him not to chase the shadow as waiting beyond it is the prison of the soul. He says his memories won't give him peace and there are people he must protect. chaos speaks again near the end of the game when Jan and the others confront Erich/Voyager. chaos tells Lactis to protect "Canaan" with all his strength and that Canaan is inside of him.

Miltian Conflict

During the Miltian conflict, chaos accompanied Canaan on a mission to rescue the U.R.T.V.s deployed during the third descent operation. The two of them head down to Miltia on the E.S. Asher, fighting off U-TIC Organization forces along the way. On the ground, the two meet Jin Uzuki and watch as he does battle with Margulis. After they split up from Jin, chaos and Canaan recover two of the remaining U.R.T.V.s, Rubedo and Nigredo.

After the Miltian Conflict

At some point, chaos joined the Elsa crew. During this time, he has a good relationship with Matthews and the rest of the Elsa crew and they appear to respect him a great deal.

Episode I

When the Elsa is hijacked by the android KOS-MOS and contacted by a nearby escape pod with Shion Uzuki and Allen Ridgeley inside, chaos is woken up by the commotion. He appears, apparently out of thin air, to intervene in the situation and rescue the survivors in the pod. chaos is happy to have more crew members on the Elsa which makes things more lively. When a gnosis appears on the Elsa bridge, chaos uses his power to make it disappear with a single touch, dismissing it as a simple talent of his. chaos later visits KOS-MOS in her maintenance pod, expressing joy in finally being able to meet her, but questioning where the real her exists. chaos formally joins the party and helps out Shion and the others fight off U-TIC invaders when Ziggy and MOMO are rescued by the Elsa.

When the Kukai Foundation is framed for the destruction of the Woglinde by the U-TIC Organization, chaos is arrested along with Gaignun and the rest of the party. In order to prove their innocence, chaos and the party dives into KOS-MOS's Encephalon. There, he accompanies Shion in a memory of Old Miltia. When they return from the dive, Allen confides in chaos, expressing his woes in tryinh to support Shion. After Jr. fails to kill Albedo in the Song of Nephilim, he identifies the latter as a U.R.T.V. and explains their purpose as weapons to destroy U-DO. In the ending, As KOS-MOS saves the ship from burning up in Second Miltia's atmosphere, chaos's hands begin to glow.

Episode II

chaos arrives at Second Miltia along with the others and accompanies Junior, Ziggy and MOMO as they depart the Space Port and fend off Richard and Hermann. Afterwards he heads to Moby Dick's Café along with Junior where they meet up with Shion and then Jin. He accompanies Shion and Jr. to the Uzuki residence and is able to talk with Jin in private that night. chaos accompanies the others to the U.M.N. Control Center where they plan to analyze the Y-Data inside MOMO, then head into her Subconscious Domain after realizing Albedo has laid a trap for them.

chaos heads to Old Miltia along with the other party members. At the end of the game he recovers Jr. from the Space Time Anomaly after he kills Albedo. Speaking with Nephilim, he says this is not the end. After Abel's Ark appears and takes the Zohar, chaos tells Wilhelm, who calls him Yeshua, that he won't hold back anymore.

Database

Episode I

chaos

BORN: unknown
AGE: unknown

A slender young boy, his perpetually melancholic expression as well as the depth and scope of his conversations give rise to the impression that he halls from a higher plane of existence.

As he volunteers no information whatsoever about his past other than his name, everything about him, including whether he even has any memory of his past, is unknown.

His relationship with Matthews and the crew appears to go back for quite some time, and they all respect him highly.

His translucent blue eyes and silver hair are particularly notable features.

Episode III

chaos

The form of Anima, having assumed human shape and consciousness.

A slight boy with an expression perpetually brimming with sorrow and a farsighted and philosophical manner of speech. Distinguished by his transparent eyes and silver hair.

He is the human incarnation of Anima, a power derived from the collective unconscious and present since the beginning of the universe in this dimension. His powers act as a failsafe for all of dimensional space.

As the release of his powers would mean the destruction of dimensional space, his powers were divided up into parts by his antithesis, Mary Magdalene (Animus) in the distant past.

chaos regained his former powers through KOS-MOS's awakening, and left the possibility of a future in the hands of Abel-- U-DO that chose to remain in this lower dimension. chaos unleashed the power of Anima, performing a dimensional shift with Nephilim, the recipient of Mary's power, leading the consciousness of mankind to Lost Jerusalem.

He still exists as the universe's failsafe. Because of his fate ordained by God--or perhaps because people struggling against their own fates desire his existence--his future form still lies within the chaotic darkness. But chaos continues to believe. The future will be born illuminated by the radiance of consciousness.

chaos

One of the Elsa's crew members, but his true nature is shrouded in mystery, such as his ability to annihilate Gnosis.

He is one of the crew members on the Elsa, a private space cargo ship belonging to the Kukai Foundation, and is highly respected by Captain Matthews and the other members. He has special powers of emitting light from the palms of his hands and annihilating Gnosis, making his presence indispensable for safe navigation. Calm and unfazed by anything, he is a positive, warm, and considerate person, making him a trusted confidant to anyone. He is an illusive boy whose past is known by no one, except for his name. ケイオス keiosu means カオス kaosu, or 混沌 konton (chaos), though later conversations with Nephilim and the blue-cloaked man suggest that he hails from a different dimension.
