History
Moth to Fire Research
As a senior Moth to Fire researcher, Mobius was among the first to determine that Moros’s abilities did not originate from Collapse Energy. Intrigued by this unknown power source, she considered creating a blood sample capable of imitating it. 19
Mobius later met Moros in person to discuss vampires, liches, and magic. She examined his spellcasting with intense interest, accepted his Spectre Jar for research, and remained noncommittal about formal cooperation. 49 50 Her research subsequently included calculating the theoretical lifespan of low-level vampires and proposing a life form superior to vampires. 59
She presented augmentation surgery designed to strengthen humans without erasing their identity, securing Moth to Fire funding despite political opposition. 61 While researching the Second Herrscher’s corpse, Mobius voiced her ultimate objective: to ascend to godhood through her own efforts. 86
Flame-Chaser Project and Departure
Mobius and Dr. Mei completed the Flame-Chaser Project, producing soldiers with power comparable to Herrschers. When Moth to Fire’s councillors shelved the project out of fear of losing control, Mobius chose to leave the organization rather than accept restrictions on her research. 127
Moros relocated Mobius, Klein, Cangxuan, and Danzhu to a prepared institute in Queensland, Australia. He placed an Undead Legion under Mobius’s authority to protect the facility and ensure her research could continue without interference. 129
Hypermutation and Independent Research
Mobius underwent her own Hypermutation Surgery, temporarily dying during the process before awakening as a Flame-Chaser Warrior. She described the event as a snake being reborn after death. 148
Her later work included creating an artificial creature powered by Collapse Energy rather than Mana. 342 She also deliberately damaged the seal on the Twelfth Herrscher for research, releasing Ling and causing a crisis within her institute. Cangxuan and Danzhu ultimately departed, challenging Mobius’s willingness to bear any cost for scientific progress. 346 347
Klein’s Rebirth
When Klein became an individual of the Thousand-Man Herrscher and attempted to assassinate her, Mobius survived through a magical Spell Shield artifact gifted by Moros. She captured Klein rather than abandoning her and resolved to restore her to humanity. 258
Mobius created a new body tailored to Klein’s memories and abilities, while Moros performed the soul-transfer ritual that science alone could not achieve. Klein successfully awakened in her new body. 259 260
Appearance
Mobius is a striking green-haired scientist usually seen in a white researcher’s lab coat. Her eyes have a distinctive pink-to-green gradient and serpent-like quality. 49 86 258
- Waist-length or pale green hair, at times tied at the nape. 86
- Pink-green gradient eyes described as sharp and serpentine. 102 258
- Commonly wears a white lab coat while working. 86 342
- Changes to black-and-green casual clothing when approaching dangerous experiments or rituals. 135
Personality
Mobius is intensely curious, highly self-assured, and driven by the pursuit of evolution beyond ordinary human limits. She treats magic, Collapse Energy, biological modification, and unfamiliar life forms as fields to be explored rather than taboos to be avoided. Her ambition is explicitly personal: she seeks to “ascend to godhood” by her own hand. 49 86
Her research ethics are pragmatic to the point of recklessness. She is willing to undertake unauthorized dissections, dangerous self-experimentation, and high-risk releases of sealed entities if she believes they may advance her work. 86 148 346 However, she is not emotionally detached: her response to Klein’s possession and her determination to rescue Griseo reveal deep loyalty toward those she considers her own. 216 258 260

- Queensland research institute — A facility prepared by Moros for Mobius’s independent research, protected by Spectral Dragons, Death Knights, and other undead forces under her authority. 129
Relationships
