True Creator in Lord of Mysteries: Origin, Role, and Mythos Explained
From shadowy cults to cosmic corruption, the True Creator is no ordinary god, he’s a catastrophe waiting.

The anime adaptation of Lord of Mysteries, Episode 4 of Season 1 titled Magic Mirror, finally provides a clue to the shadowy deity’s presence, a plot turn in the developing supernatural narrative.

Who Is the True Creator?
Also referred to as the Fallen Creator, the True Creator is the Sequence 0 God of the Hanged Man Pathway. He is worshipped mainly by secret cults such as theAurora Orderand the Iron and Blood Cross Order.
His followers believe he inherited the core essence of the Original Creator — the Ancient Sun God — and perceive him as the messianic figure who bore the world’s sins in the Cataclysm of the Third Epoch, while the Orthodox Gods were brought down from the Abyss.
His true form is also traditionally depicted as a hanged man crucified on an upside-down cross, but he has also been manifested as the “Hanged Giant” and “Eyes behind the Shadow Veil.”
True Creator’s Story So Far in the Anime
In Lord of Mysteries Episode 4, Klein Moretti uncovers a supernatural conspiracy regarding the True Creator. In using ritual magic to shatter a cursed mirror, Klein and Dunn Smith come across a letter ominously titled ‘True Creator.’ Soon enough, they face the wrath of Mr. Z, the 22nd Oracle of the Aurora Order, who refers to Vincent’s murder as “the Master’s Grace.”
This is the first direct reference to the True Creator in this anime and shows his far-reaching influence. When Dunn experiences a vision of a supernatural being in the form of the Hanged Man, the signs of divine involvement are clear. The sudden appearance of Audrey Hall’s family dog Susie speaking as a human in the post-credits scene is another layer of divine mystery.
True Creator’s Origins and Divine Corruption
The True Creator’s origin is complex. He was born out of the Ancient Sun God’s corpse, as well as out of the god’s overwhelming emotional torment at the time of death. This rebirth was due to betrayal by fellow gods, namely the Wind Angel, Wisdom Angel, and White Angel, and the chaos of the Cataclysm.
He personifies the corrupted humanity and negative emotions of the Ancient Sun God while another godly character, Adam, inherited his divinity. Adam and the True Creator both fought for dominance over time before eventually merging into one, with Adam now the new True Creator in Book 2.
True Creator’s Powers and Mythology
The True Creator has vast Sefirah authority, especially over the Chaos Sea, and used to labor in coordination with other gods and entities like the Underworld Emperor. He was responsible for the Solomon Empire’s ascension and was assisted by Rose Redemption, a faction that shares his divine mission.
His cult believes that all human beings possess divine potential and can rise through perseverance. They also believe in a holy temple, once his domain, located near the City of Silver within the Forsaken Land of the Gods, which was once entered by a boy named Jack.
True Creator’s Attempted Descents and Rituals
The True Creator is constantly trying to descend into the physical world. In Volume 1, he impregnates Megose through a dark ritual, causing Klein and Dunn to die.
In Volume 2, he tries to do it again through Lanevus and a hidden ritual in Backlund, but both are thwarted by Klein. His persistence and terrifying methods reflect his status as a cosmic threat with plans to corrupt reality itself.
Final Thoughts
The True Creator’s presence in Lord of Mysteries is more than religious symbolism — it’s a ticking bomb of godhood, corruption, and forbidden power. Every time “He” appears, “He” reshapes the spiritual fabric of the world, drawing Klein and the viewers ever closer to the truth behind the gods.
Umair Nakade
Umair has loved anime since it was still pretty niche, growing up watching classics like Pokémon, Dragon Ball, Zatch Bell, and Beyblade in the early 2010s. Death Note really got him hooked, and since then, he’s caught up with everything from the Big Three to the latest Shonen Jump hits, with Haikyuu!!! as his favorite. But he’s not just about anime, Umair’s a huge cinephile, especially superhero flicks from Marvel and DC, and never misses opening day at theaters. When he’s not watching or writing, you will find him playing Wuthering Waves, AAA titles, or listening to Harry Styles on repeat. At Techwiser, Umair is dedicated to covering anime and pop culture content.
