History[edit]
chaos, or Yeshua at this time is the human incarnation of Anima, a failsafe installed in the universe. Yeshua and Mary Magdalene worked as the disciple 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 in Wilhelm's hands who 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 and Anima and Mary are later buried within Rennes-le-Château in order to hide them from Wilhelm. As a result, Yeshua lost his powers and became a spectator who now goes by the name "chaos".

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.
Yeshua
The term Wilhelm uses to refer to chaos.
