While the Earl's origins are not discussed within the series, it is clear that Chaos is ancient, possibly having its roots in the origin of the worlds. Its sole desire is to spread chaos and death, as it seems to feed off his, evident by the Earl eating various dishes when peace or harmony exists, and refusing when his plans are being fulfilled. At some point, Chaos stumbled across Misteria, finding it inhabited by Unlimited among the Misterians. As they are the only beings alive with godlike power to oppose him, Chaos was naturally afraid of these beings, and destroyed their world. In doing so, only Makenshi escaped, arriving to Windaria where Chaos begins its assault to snuff out the Unlimited there.
