Story arc

History

Grimoire was the Chief of Vector Industries' Zohar Research Department in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Lost Jerusalem. As part of his work, Grimoire deciphered the "words of God" and wrote the Lemegeton Zohar control program from them. In 20XX A.D., using Lemegeton, Grimoire was able to start a Link Experiment between the Zohar and his daughter Nephilim, single-handedly triggering a Space-Time Anomaly that resulted in the disappearance of much of the planet, starting from Nephilim. The planet was then sealed by Vector's CEO at the time, Wilhelm, to cease the spread of the Space-Time Anomaly, although not before Lemegeton's fragments were scattered across the U.M.N.

Although Grimoire's fate was unknown following the loss of Earth, his work was revived 4000 years later when Joachim Mizrahi attempted to reconstruct the fragments of Lemegeton, creating two Zohar control systems from them; the Song of Nephilim and the U-DO System. However, following the Miltian Conflict, Lemegeton's fragments were lost once again.

Episode III

Grimoire Verum

Former Chief of Vector’s Zohar Research Department.

The former Chief of Vector’s Zohar Research Department. He was the one responsible for causing the Zohar to go berserk thousands of years ago, destroying Lost Jerusalem; six months ago, he brought about the Gnosis terrorism.

He went into hiding within the U.M.N., sending Gnosis under his control to attack the capital cities of various planets, and ultimately died within the U.M.N.

Though his crimes are officially listed as the work of an individual, he was in Vector’s custody prior to their occurrence. Furthermore, the fact that Grimoire summoned and controlled Gnosis in an area under special Vector control, the S-Division, motivated Shion Uzuki to think that Vector and the U.M.N might be connected with the Gnosis phenomenon, and to begin her investigation along with Scientia.

Although many details behind the Gnosis terrorism were lost with Grimoire’s death, such as his motive and goal, one source suggests that he likely shared a deep connection with the girl known as Nephilim, and that the Gnosis terrorism was part of a search for her.

Vector has denied any and all connection to Grimoire or the Gnosis terrorism, and to this day refuses to comment on the events.
