Biography
During several conflicts which are happening between the Diamond Kingdom and the Clover Kingdom, Lotus encounters Julius Nova Chronos and Yami Sukehiro. During his fight with the latter, Lotus decides to escape after realizing that his chance of winning against him is slim. Unfortunately, he does not manage to escape before receiving a scarring wound on his chest.

Years later, after the emergence of a dungeon at the border between the two Kingdoms, Lotus is assigned to conquer it. He then travels to the dungeon along with several subordinates in which one of them is the Kingdom's secret weapon, Mars. Not long after arriving at the dungeon and Mars is distancing himself from the group, Lotus encounters a mage from the Clover Kingdom. The mage, Luck Voltia, manages to take down all of his subordinates.

This leads him to negotiate the possibility of avoiding a fight with him. Lotus then tries to escape but Luck is able to keep him at bay by constantly attacking him. During the fight, Lotus is on the defensive as he keeps evading all of Luck's attack without giving any significant counterattacks.

After recognizing that Luck belongs to the Black Bull squad, Lotus reveals that he has been releasing a weakening magic spell since Luck's arrivals. As Luck falls to the ground, Lotus tries to leave Luck to slowly die by himself but the latter gets up and keeps attacking. When Lotus realizes that Luck is releasing even more magical power, Lotus decides to end the fight by binding him within a solid smoke structure. Unfortunately, when he tries to take out Luck for good, another mage interferes by destroying Luck's binding.

Seeing that he is now fighting against three mages, Lotus activates a spell that traps all of them inside a veil of smokes while he is hiding within them. Lotus then continues to observe the Black Bull members while they are trying to escape by using his mana sensory ability. Suddenly, a barrage of lightning spell attacks are heading towards him. Lotus manages to easily avoid all of them while concluding that his opponents are in desperate state. However, Lotus suddenly received an attack from one of his opponents, Asta.

As he is heavily injured by Asta's attack, Lotus gives his remarks to the Clover Kingdom for having a mage that does not possess any magical power. Afterwards, after realizing that he is no longer in a shape to fight, Lotus escapes along with his fallen subordinates while hoping that Mars could finish the mission.

Unfortunately, Mars attempts to defeat the Clover Kingdom's mages and conquer the dungeon also resulted in failure as Lotus is observing the fight while keeping himself hidden. When the dungeon starts collapsing, Lotus manages to escape by following the trails of the Clover Kingdom's mages. Subsequently, he is also able to secure a hefty amount of treasures from the dungeon's treasury and saving the unconscious Mars. On the way back to the Diamond Kingdom, Lotus is surprised when the unspoken Mars offers him a gratitude for saving his life.
