As April works out after her discussion with Burns Flipper, the Chaos Vortex is actually Gordon Halloway's Chaotic side after the Vanguard experimented on him. When the Vortex appears for the last time in the Guardian's Realm, April uses a Magic Binding Potion on the Talisman of the Balance, which draws the Vortex into the Talisman. Later, she uses the Talisman on Gordon himself, reuniting the cold Halloway with his chaotic side.
