At an unknown point in time, after defeating the Bloodwolf, Sino split himself into two halves; a good half, and an evil half. The good half became Artephius and settled down in San Lorenzo with no memory of who he truly was. Because of his fear that he'd be tempted to take away people's choice to do right and wrong, the bad half was locked away in the Forbidden Citadel. He also hid the Arcanum and created a Tulpa to protect it, another to help banish the Bloodwolf to the Realm Of Shades if he were to return, and a third to help rejoin Sino's two halves if he was ever needed again. Their names were Orange, Green, and White.
