Sarah Floren and Creator (Pre Sarah's death)

The Exaltists are a group of fanatics who embrace the Hollow disaster that befell the world long ago and adore the Creator: their goal is to "refine" humanity into the next step of evolution and make it enter the Age of Hollows, with reaching the Gate of the Final Domain, located inside Hollow Zero, as seemingly one of the necessary steps to meet the Creator.They have influential connections and moles within New Eridu's high society and government, such as Public Security (Justin Bringer), the White Star Institute (Alowyn Mystik) and big corporations (Sarah, who infiltrated Vision), but also with powerful hackers such as Null Face and White Noise. The Exaltists are extremely faithful to the grand cause of their cult, and are thus willing to sacrifice themselves fully, to the point of killing themselves in the process. In fact, the people who go through "refinement" are called Sacrifices. After Mevorakh's death, Sarah was chosen as the next Overseer. It is unknown when The Exaltist church was founded, but it is safe to assume it was after the first Hollow disasters began occurring. One of their leaders, the Exaltist Overseer (Chinese: 称颂会司教 "Minister of the Church of Praise"), was taken down by "Swordmaster" immediately prior the founding of Eridu.[8] It is reported that they were publicly active as a religious group before the Fall of the Old Capital, holding rallies in the open; however, it is unknown why they went undercover in New Eridu. The Hollow Zero disaster seems to be tied to the Exaltists, as someone attempted to retrieve the Sacrifice sealed inside the monument at Pioneer's Memorial Plaza the night before the Fall. On the same night Carole Arna was abducted by one of the Creator's hands while the Helios Academy was under siege by mysterious armed groups and "monsters".[10] Moreover, their chanting can be heard inside Hollow Zero. After the death of her comrades from Agamemnon Squad during the Fall of the Old Capital, Isolde started investigating, eventually joining the Exaltists under the name Mevorakh to gather more information. Several years ago, Landon, the head of the Janus Quarter Exaltists who developed a first version of the Sacrifice Serum, adopted Vivian Banshee and treated her like her own daughter, due to her gift of foreseeing calamities. When Vivian shed tears in front of an Exaltist member, they were claimed to be "blessed" and got injected with the serum: those who transformed in Ethereals were taken down on the spot, while the successful Sacrifices were given to Exaltist higher-ups; however, the low success rate, together with the fact Landon's Sacrifices did not hold human consciousness, brought the higher-ups to see his serum as a failure, with Landon gradually losing influence within the Exaltists. At some point, Vivian cried in front of Dina, Landon's own daughter. In a gamble to try to regain the favour of the higher-ups, Landon decided to inject Dina with the serum. To try to save her adopted sister, Vivian told everyone present that Landon should be the one to receive the "blessing," and forcibly shed tears in front of him. Landon tried to kill Vivian, but was stopped by Camille, and in the altercation he accidentally shot himself. Dina blamed Vivian for her father's death and succeeded him as the head of the sect, while many lost and uncertain followers, including Vivian, left. At the same time, a now-Exaltist official Mevorakh came to Janus Quarter and relocated many of Landon's followers in Waifei Peninsula, where they struck a deal with Ferox, Porcelumex co-CEO, who would have provided the Exaltists with funding and shelter in exchange of the tech obtained from Sacrifice research. When the previous Overseer died, Mevorakh got chosen as their successor, and immediately publicly declared that the Creator would not mold unwilling subjects, thus rejecting Porcelumex's proposal to carry human experiments similar to Project New Leaf. The Exaltists were also behind the attack at the Arpeggio Fault Old Laboratory two years ago, but at the last moment Alowyn betrayed the mission and instead saved the Institute researchers she got attached to, dying in the process. However, The Exaltists managed to enter the Laboratory nonetheless, leaving a message behind. facts happened from Phathon's moving to Waifei Peninsula afterwards are missing After Mevorakh's death, the Exaltists' structure and hierachy had crumbled, and only a few believers, guided by Sarah, were still striving to meet the Creator. The Exaltists are also responsible for all the major events encountered by Phaethon. With the direct help of the Creator, the Exaltists have developed Elixir P07 to refine humans into Sacrifices able to retain their human consciousness. They can also evoke Ethereals out of Miasma and control them, while Overseer Mevorakh is able to create Ethereal copies of existing people from the memories the Miasma has absorbed, while retaining their combat prowess, general features and memories. Sarah is a key Exaltist leader who infiltrated Vision Corporation to manipulate it from within, as part of her major role in the greater conspiracy of making humanity enter the Age of Hollows. She is a fervent believer of the Creator and is striving to meet Them in person, deeming the destruction and casualties she leaves behind her along her path as "necessary sacrifices." Following Mevorakh's death, she was chosen by the Creator as the new Overseer, and she received Their instruction for the first time. Sarah first appeared under the guise of being the personal secretary of Charles Perlman, the CEO of the Vision Corporation. In reality, Perlman was no more than a puppet serving the interests of Sarah, Justin Bringer and The Exaltists. While in this role, Sarah directed Perlman to demolish the Hollow-consumed Old Capital Metro in order to retrieve the Sacrifice hidden inside the monument at Pioneer's Memorial Plaza. The plan — which would have killed hundreds of trapped residents — was foiled by the Cunning Hares and Phaethon, who worked together to evacuate Canvas Street and expose Vision's crimes, despite Sarah's attempts to kill them. Though Perlman was arrested by New Eridu Public Security, Sarah managed to slip away. Facing trial, an imprisoned Perlman tried to blackmail Sarah and Bringer, threatening to reveal their involvement with the evidence theft unless they helped him escape prison. Sarah appeared to accept his terms, giving him a suitcase for him to open during his airship transport to the New Eridu Supreme Court. This, however, was a ruse; the suitcase contained a sleeping agent which knocked out Perlman and everyone else aboard the airship (except for Billy Kid due to his mistake by adding in a defected oxygen module he got from the illegal underground black market for himself). The airship was then remotely steered into the Lemnian Hollow by a kidnapped Rain, with the intention of killing Perlman and the other passengers. Having discovered the conspiracy in the nick of time, the Victoria Housekeeping Co. and Phaethon rescued Rain and prevented the airship's crash, allowing Perlman to escape into the Outer Ring. Sarah appears to be Overseer Mevorakh's right hand, as she was the person who picked up Dr. Lohr's call for help when Yunkui Summit cornered him, to which Sarah replied it was time for him to "show his devotion" and self-sacrifice with the serum. When the Exaltist ceremony got ambushed by Yunkui Summit and the Overseer had seemingly been killed, it was Sarah who calmed down the cultists, and personally welcomed the Overseer back from the Miasma coagulum, revealing she had been privy to the greater plan of fighting against Grandmaster Yixuan in order to absorb her memories of Yijiang in the Miasma so they could create an Ethereal copy of the late High Preceptor.
