History
"the flowers are all around me."

- Graffiti found on a wall of an abandoned Voshkod bunker

Like all other aspects of the Voshkod-Elsword War or the Split, the spy games of Voshkod and Lurensia only intensified and degenerated after the renewed ferocity of 1962 V.C.. Infiltration networks spread like cancerous veins to encompass dozens of cells of desperate men and women armed with the greatest inventions that Voshkod and Luresian scientists could make or grow. Saboteurs blew bridges and factories and government structures and bases even as rampant military production built them up again. Spies and assassins stalked each other under smog-choked urban skies and around bombed-out rural villages. But of the information they gained, the secrets they discovered, the kills they made and the conspiracies they wrought and unmade, there is little evidence left. For intelligence agencies and spies do not give up their secrets or their discoveries lightly. And one Luresian spy was known above all. Known as the Skinwearer, She Who Wore A Thousand Knives, The Under Empress, Many in One, the Helminthologist, but she is better known by her codename Black Lotus.

Who was Black Lotus? Few knew, and those who found out are dead now - all done by her hands to keep her secrets. All that is known is that she was a member of one of the Empire's greatest intelligence rings, and she was the best of all its members. She was clad in an entirely black Red Guard outfit, but her eyes and mouth and fingers constantly bled even under masks and gloves. She was reported and seen on missions all across Gaiaterra, and doubtless operated in many more areas where her presence wasn't felt at all. She procured information: information on newly developed Voshkod technologies, information on new equipment, information on new troop movements and new weapons systems and new vehicles. She killed to get said information as well: poisoned needles and stilettos impaled in guardsmen, researchers strangled by base wiring systems or found dead at the hands of their own freed creations, political officers decapitated and civilians quietly killed via cyanide capsules found crushed in their mouths. Her favored tactic, however, was to access the ventilation systems of whatever vehicle or structure she was targeting and flood it with canisters of potent hallucinogenic neurotoxins. Putting her black gas mask identical to those worn by the Red Guard, she would then step openly into the structure past dying soldiers and scientists, taking her objective and then walking back out to vanish back to Empire lines. And from her first appearance to her eventual death by old age no one, save her family and high-ranking Elsword officials, knew her identity.

When the internet became very widespread and even possibly dangerous, many countries around the world enacted Cyber Security Divisions. The Aquilan Systems for Security Agency, the National Center for Cyber Defense and many more utilized the internet to not only protect from hackers, but also to find them. In 1999 V.C., the ASSA's plot on spying on Aquilan people were revealed and the public raged.

Such was Black Lotus's reputation that when the Elsword Empire realized that defectors could reveal their plans for the future, the Elsword Ministry of State Security enacted the White Lotus program in 2000 V.C., codenamed White Hat. The WL Program is basically a hacker-training division for intellectual hackers. And through testing, they found out that sophisticated hacking technology could crack into the most secured servers of the most advanced Aquilan cyber-defense systems, even (NORAD-equivalent), and begin a secret training program to make the greatest hacker that lived. And out of the thousands of hackers that joined the program, only one succeeded to this day, and is given a personal hacking tool to use her skills without the need of a bulky laptop, and the honor to bear the codename of Black Lotus.

During the War Against the MLA, Black Lotus acted as contemporary field commanders for Imperial forces in the field, as well as an intelligence-gathering spy. Black Lotus acted throughout multiple theaters, including the infamous destruction of the Heaven of Lurensia Dam ordered by her. After the war, the Empire expanded to create the Greater Lurensia People's Alliance (GLPA). On the outside, it seemed like the Canthan countries were strong-armed into the Luresian sphere of influence, and had the Empire's army occupying their borders. However, the Ministry of State Security erected spy outposts everywhere, to keep track of the population just like the ASSA did years ago. Elsword's worst fear became a reality when a Luresian hacker defected and revealed to the world what they were doing, but this time the Luresians did not retreat like the Aquilans did. Nonetheless, the White Lotus Program was expanded even more, though there is, and always will be, only one Black Lotus.

And when given enough time to study her enemy on the battlefield. Black Lotus can eventually blend in with them, not only taking their uniform but also forming habits and copying their foe's culture, language, and lingoes to the point that even soldiers trained to find spies will not see her deception, while also crafting a specific coding and scent thanks makes her completely undetectable to scanners and animals that would normally sniff her out, thus becoming completely undetectable to her enemies. Though using any of her skills will immediately rat her out to anyone who sees her. It is also such situations that Black Lotus will use her "Gamma" Knife, a prototype knife hilt given to her that projects a short blade of intense neutron radiation that destroys her victim's internal organs without leaving any external wounds upon impact, and as it's made of energy no armor can block it (though vehicles are sufficiently thick enough that the crew is unharmed), but since it produces lethal amounts of radiation, even when deactivated, Black Lotus is hesitant to wield it (even as her superiors tell her the prototype suit she wears renders her immune to radiation).

Hidden In Plain Sight
Black Lotus can't be detected unless she attacks and/or use her ability. And her attacks now instantly kills infantry except commandoes (instead dealing heavy damage)
