Alipede was born blind and was relentlessly bullied as a child. The abuse culminated when other children tortured and accidentally killed his favorite rabbit. When Alipede lashed out in anger, he was beaten instead, left crying while holding the dead rabbit—not from grief, but from the feeling that his last shred of self-respect had been destroyed.

Soon after, a sudden blackout occurred. While others were helpless in the darkness, Alipede realized something terrifying: the darkness belonged to him. He could move freely while others were blind. That moment reshaped his worldview—power, superiority, and pride were born from the dark.

In 2017, recruiters Rafael and Palcho encountered him in Malta. When Palcho hesitated, Alipede proved that victory lies in acting first. Rafael, astonished by his abilities and echolocation mastery, invited him to Korea by tossing him a Braille-marked Glory Club card.

Alipede later demonstrated his dominance by overwhelming former apostles in darkness, appearing as an invisible executioner. Even among apostles, his power and presence command fear.
