[[File:Eliphas without his Headgear.png|thumb|right|Eliphas, without his mask.]]When his helmet fell off, it is revealed that he has one blue gem on his forehead and two above his temples, as well as marks on his face similar to but noticeably different from the ones on [[Astral]]'s.{{clear}}

Eliphas is fanatical in his disdain for [[Chaos (power)|Chaos]] and the [[Barian|beings]] that possess it, especially those he perceives as a menace menaces to the [[Astral World]]. He even threatens his own people like such as [[EnaEnna]] after [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma cured ]] healed them with his powersChaos energy, as they have become infected by it and must be quarantined. Nonetheless, he is shown to be lenient enough to let allow Yuma duel to Duel for Astral's sake.

Another trait is his adherence to [[Rank-Up|Ranking upUp]], especially to when it comes to his world. In his definition, it's the means to surpass limitations and to escape the suffering brought on by Chaos.

===AblitiesAbilities===[[File:Eliphas's Shinning Draw.png|thumb|rightleft|200px|Eliphas performing a [[Shining Draw]].]]As the will of the [[Astral World]] itself, Eliphas is near omnipotent. He can appear anywhere he wishes and clone copies of himself. He can summon guard dogs and shoot lightning at those who happen to intrude into his domain, as shown while he was chasing [[YumaTsukumo|Yuma]].

Eliphas was created by the people denizens of the [[Astral World]] as the ultimate symbol of their worldview of "Ranking-Up"at the time.<ref name="ep118">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|118|ref}}</ref>

====Legendary Number War====[[File:Eliphas_warning_Yuma.png|right|200px|thumb|Eliphas meets [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]].]]Eliphas confronted [[Yuma Tsukumo]] when the latter arrived in the [[Astral World]]. Insisting that Yuma could not be allowed there, he attempted to kill him several times, with Yuma being saved by [[Rainbow Kuriboh (character)|Rainbow Kuriboh]]. After meeting [[EnaEnna]] and using the power of [[Chaos (power)|Chaos]] to save cure several Astral beingsdenizens, Yuma and Eliphas conversed with one another, with Yuma demanding [[Astral]]'s return. Eliphas explained that the [[Barian World]] is the result of the Astral World expelling Chaos in order to Rank-Up and that Astral's original purpose was to destroy the Barian World. Eliphas also blamed Yuma for Astral's injuries, but Yuma countered that he and Astral fought together cooperated as friends. Yuma suggested they Duel to determine Astral's fate. Eliphas agreed, but Yuma was to wager his memories of Astral. The Duel begins with Eliphas Summoning "[[New Orders Order 4 : Etheric Anubis]]" on the first [[turn ]] and revealing that he was capable of performing [[Shining Draw]].<ref name="ep118" /> Eliphas continuously Double Ranked-Up his [[Monster Card|monsters]] through "[[Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force (anime)|Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force]]", while lecturing Yuma on what he done to Astral. Believing that Astral had been "corrupted" by Yuma's Chaos and the betrayal at "[[Sargasso the Different Dimension Battlefield (anime)|Sargasso]]", Eliphas intended to purge Astral's memories and send him off to fulfill his original purpose once more. The betrayal at "Sargasso" inflicted a small wound that threatened to poison Astral's entire body. It was only through the intervention of Yuma's father [[Kazuma Tsukumo|Kazuma]] that Astral was sent to Yuma as Kazuma modified Astral's programming before sending him, in defiance of his original mission. By healing Enna and the others, Eliphas believed that Yuma had infected them with Chaos - and thus they could not be allowed to live. However, Eliphas agreed to reconsider his perspective if Yuma would win. Though Yuma brought out "[[Number C39: Utopia Ray Victory (anime)|Number C39: Utopia Ray Victory]]" and succeeded in inflicting a large amount of damage to Eliphas, Eliphas continued to Rank-Up his monsters, culminating in "[[New Order 12: Etheric Maahes]]".<ref name="ep119">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|119|ref}}</ref>  Through cards such as "[[Rank-Up Advantage]]" and "[[Rank Domination]]", Eliphas was able to perform multiple Shining Draws in a single turn and drastically cut down the ATK of Yuma's monsters, ultimately draining the ATK of "Utopia Ray Victory" to 0. Through the protection of "[[Rainbow Kuriboh (anime)|Rainbow Kuriboh]]", Yuma was able to survive with only 100 [[Life Points]] remaining. He attempted to bypass Eliphas' monsters and launch a [[direct attack]] using "[[Stealth Strike]]", but Eliphas countered with "[[Rank Wall]]". On his next turn, Eliphas performed one final Rank-Up, unveiling an unprecedented [[Rank 13]] Xyz Monster - "[[New Order 13: Etheric Amon]]". Its effect drained Yuma's [[Deck]], using it to gain more [[Xyz Material|Overlay Units]] for itself. Once more, "Rainbow Kuriboh" allowed Yuma to survive another turn.  Through his will, Yuma was able to perform a Shining Draw of his own, creating "[[Rank-Down-Magic Numeron Fall (anime)|Rank-Down-Magic Numeron Fall]]" and Ranking-Down "[[Number 39: Utopia (anime)|Number 39: Utopia]]" into a Rank 1 monster - "[[Number 39: Utopia Roots (anime)|Number 39: Utopia Roots]]". While Eliphas scoffed at its pitiful Rank and 500 ATK as well as Yuma conducting a summon that removed every card in his Deck, Yuma revealed its effect and used it, ultimately multiplying its ATK by the Rank difference between itself and "Amon" as well as multiplying it by the number of Overlay Units "Amon" had. Though Eliphas believed that Yuma's efforts were still wasted due to his monster having already attacked, Yuma followed up with "[[Double or Nothing! (anime)|Double or Nothing!]]", which made the ATK of "Utopia Roots" reach 79,200, allowing "Utopia Roots" to obliterate "Amon" and defeat Eliphas.  A man of his word, Eliphas released Astral and entrusted the fate of the Astral World to him and Yuma. They were given permission to confront the Barian World in whatever approach they wished instead of destroying it along with information about [[Don Thousand]]'s existence. He then bestowed Astral with a card and returned the [[Emperor's Key]] to Yuma before sending the ZEXAL wielders back to the [[Earth (planet)|Human World]].<ref name="ep121">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Rainbow Kuriboh once more allowed Yuma to survive another turn. Through his will, Yuma was able to Shining Draw himself, creating "[[Rank-Down-Magic Numeron Fall]]". Using this card, he Ranked Down "[[Number 39: Utopia]]" into the Rank 1 "[[Number 39: Utopia Roots]]". Its ATK increased revived by the difference between power of the Ranks of it and "Amen", while also rising for each Overlay Unit "Amen" had, resulting in a monster with 39,600 ATKNumeron Code.
