| - Baelheit was a genius researcher and was looked up to by not only the people of Alfard, but to Emperor Olgan as well, who sought to use his genius in his quest for power and conquest. Fifteen years prior to the start of Baten Kaitos Origins, Baelheit was working endlessly on the transfusion of magna mixtures, the basis of what became magna essences in the future. While he had nearly perfected this research, there was still a slight possibility that the mixtures may prove to have destabilizing effects, but the Emperor did not want to hear anything of them and ordered Baelheit to conclude the study so that he can use it to put the Alfard Empire as a leading power in the world. Olgan had already laid out more plans and operations for Baelheit to work on, ones that dwelt into the untapped energies and potential of the ancient god of destruction itself, Malpercio. During an expedition to the continent of Hassaleh, Olgan's troops found a piece of Malpercio's body known as an afterling that bonded to other living creatures to survive. Olgan had the creature captured and examined all the possibilities that it could hold. At the suggestion of Quaestor Verus, Olgan decided to initiate a series of experiments on the creatures and bind them to human beings in order to create a man made spiriter. Olgan's true desire was to turn his son, Shanath, into a spiriter and lead the empire to a glorious age of prosperity when he takes over the role of Emperor. Verus also had his own designs to use the experiments in his plans and schemes for power and control. Olgan placed Baelheit in charge of this research and had hundreds of people abducted to be used as experiments, including infants and children. Among these children was Sagi, the product of a love relationship between Verus and Gena, though Verus simply impregnated her to use his offspring for his malicious plans. During the course of this research though, Shanath was not seen as a suitable candidate and could not bear the power of the afterling and rejected it. This caused Shanath to hate his father, Olgan, who began to see Shanath as a weak and incompetent boy who would be incapable of running the empire. Many of the remaining test subjects were driven insane by the torturous experiments and died as a result. However, Baelheit was finally able to create a spiriter, but the subject proved to be far too unstable when it came into consciousness and had a panic attack over what was happening to him. The subject went crazed and began murdering all the research staff and completely demolished the research center. In the meantime, Gena was able to track down the research facility and broke into the dungeons where the test subjects were taken, found Sagi, and fled with him to Hassaleh. Among the ones killed was Baelheit's wife, but the subject was successfully destroyed before it could escape into Alfard. However, before it was killed, it had mangled Milly, Baelheit's daughter, and tore half of her body apart. Driven with guilt and depression, Baelheit placed his daughter in a medical capsule and fled the empire to find somewhere peaceful to end his life. Overcome with the death of his wife, the mangled state of his daughter, and his now ruined reputation, Baelheit went to Mira to die. Before he could end his life though, a spirit by the name of Daimon made contact with him and urged him not to die. The two then merged together and Baelheit ended up becoming the very thing he had sought to create, a spiriter. With this new spirit at his side, Baelheit gained great new wisdom and created ingenious machinery that would later be known as machina. With this new invention, Baelheit was able to save his daughter's life by binding her body to it. While it seemed that all was well again, Baelheit was a changed man, angry and now diluted into thinking that it is his obligation to change the course of the world and use machina to completely restructure it and destroy all that was left from the War of the Gods, especially Wings of the Heart. Unknown to him, there were even more sinister plans and operations occurring within the shadows being orchestrated by Verus who was intending to use machina in his designs and use Baelheit as a puppet.
