During The Rise of the New Singularity Story Arc, Lacandrillar helped orchestrate the kidnapping of Ayan Baqur's population, and had been using them as experimental fodder. He hoped he could, with access to fresh captives, discover what in human consciousness allows us to function as fully individual and independent beings. Lacandrillar believed that within the human mind was the secret to final liberation from the Quiddity. Outraged humans slew him, releasing the residents of Ayan Baqur from their imprisonment. Both he and Adirred the Theoretican were denied re-assimilation, their energies released to the void, given to oblivion.
