~!Göetz von Berlichingen, at the time known as Michael Wittman, was a Nazi soldier and best friend of Lotus Reichhart during WW2.
During the battle to determine the final member of the Obsidian Round Table, Michael and Lotus were the two finalists, with Michael killing his friend and becoming victorious. After the battle Mercurius split Lotus's soul into two halves.
