Biography
Past
Klaus, along with Galea, was a scientist working in Rhadamanthus, a space station that held a very powerful artifact known as the Conduit. The two lived well lives until a vicious war started happening due to humanity's desire for the Conduit. Klaus tried sort out a way to stop the war finding out that there were multiple interconnected universes. He decided to use the Conduit create a new universe where humanity can escape, become more powerful, and the war would stop. But in the process, Klaus opened up numerous portals around the planet causing many people to disappear, his body was also split in two. As a result, his evil half "Zanza" was born, who was sent to the new dimension, Zanza became the God known as Bionis.
The Downfall of the Two Titans
Bionis represented life, growth and the natural world. It wielded a huge and mighty sword of light known as the Monado. The Bionis gave rise to a near-human species called Homs, a form of humans set to live on the Bionis as humans did on Earth. Other species included little furry creatures called Nopons and Homs with wings on their heads known as High Entia.
The Mechonis, on the other hand, was controlled by Galea, who was reborn as "Meyneth". Mechonis represented intelligence, technology, and strength. Its weapon is unknown but it is known that it wielded an unnamed sword, similar to the Bionis. The Mechonis gave rise to a species of bio-mechanical organisms known as Machina.
Both titans were controlled by a mysterious substance known to the Homs as Ether. Both Zanza and Meyneth's powers depended on a surplus of Ether collected from the deceased denizens of each titan, and when Ether ran out, Zanza was forced to restart the universe once again.
It was a never-ending cycle of birth, life, death, and re-birth on a universal scale. Life was peaceful and uneventful, until Zanza decided to destroy the Machina race, the Mechonis, and Meyneth to obtain her Monado, the Instrument of Creation, so that there would be no need for the life of Bionis.
Zanza took control of giant named Arglas and released and unprovoked attack with the Bionis' sword while sending creatures known as Telethia on Mechonis, who was forced to fight back. The two titans were locked in a timeless sword-fight, until, one day, both giants delivered a fatal blow to the other, and Meyneth fell into a state of hibernation. Zanza's flesh, Arglas' body, however, was confined by the ancient High Entia to Prison Island. While his soul rested in his shrunken sword, which was placed in Ose Tower, awaiting for a new vessel to be born. Zanza also left behind three disciples, Dickson, Lorithia, and Alvis, promising them eternal life in his next world.
