Biography
After his parents' death, Julius was orphaned and avoided by his relatives like an Aragami until Dr. Rachel adopted him and raised him as the first Blood member. During his time in the orphanage, Julius met Ciel as children, but they never bonded as friends. Years passed and Julius remained the sole Blood member until Romeo Leoni's recruitment. A year after Romeo, Nana Kazuki and the Protagonist entered Blood followed by Gilbert McLane and Ciel Alencon. After the Friar's arrival at the Far East main branch, Julius cannot be present with Blood for certain times due to other work he has to attend to (such as during Romeo's runaway period). He returns later after Romeo's runaway case is resolved. During a red rain Aragami attack, Julius follows Romeo who ran out to the outskirts to check on an old couple who had not gathered at the rain shelter. The scar-eyed Marduk arrives to strike unconscious Julius and fatally injure Romeo who activates his Power of Blood and Blood Art to chase away the Marduk and other Aragami in the area. Julius wakes up and sees Romeo die in front of his eyes while begging Romeo to not go away. This event convinces him to join Dr. Rachel in her God Arc Soldier project to eliminate the need for God Eaters to risk their lives on the battlefield. Due to his exposure to the red rain when following Romeo, he contracted the Black Plague and unknowingly became one of the qualified candidates for the world's new Singularity. Julius resigns from Blood and starts assisting Dr. Rachel in her research and eventually performs a coup d'état in the Friar to gain control over it. When Yuno Ashihara and Blood find out this and Dr. Rachel's experimentation on kidnapped Black Plague infected children, they resolve to stop Julius from going down the wrong path as his friends and they plan to confront Dr. Rachel and Julius. When Blood and Yuno go into the Friar to save the infected children, they question to Julius in vain about his actions. Yuno then contracts the Black Plague as a result of rescuing the infected children by making contact with them. Soon after Dr. Rachel reveals her true intentions of destroying the world by revealing her prototype God Arc Soldier Aragami, Julius is put in a state of wavering conscious and, due to his Black Plague, begins transformation into a being, the Person Who Opens the World, that would devour all life on the planet. Dr. Sakaki creates a counter-plan against this singularity by using the infected Yuno as another Singularity to use her singing to rid of Julius's singularity form. The Protagonist plays a key role in amplifying Yuno's powers to overwhelm Julius's singularity and connecting to Julius's consciousness on the other side of the singularity. After defeating Julius, Blood and Yuno manage to connect and talk to Julius in hopes of bringing him back however due to his mutation, he cannot return and instead remains in the Singularity's realm of mind to fight off its devouring purpose. Julius then says that even on battlefields, they will always be allies in battle and thanks everyone for believing and relying on him before turning his back and says something inaudible before walking away and raising his fist in the air as a sign to fight on. In order to prevent his Singularity from devouring the world, Julius then forcibly stops it from evolving which results in an explosion that takes in all the Black Plague spread and forms a helix sphered plant-like structure in the aftermath. This helix tree structure can be viewed in certain field backgrounds post-main story.
