Cigogne Raspailles, a French alchemist allied with Christian Rosenkreutz, entered a clandestine partnership in 1742 during the latter’s European endeavors. Collaborating with Crane Bahnsteik, they pursued forbidden research on immortality and engineered artificial beings called Divas, concealing their work to avert exploitation amid worldwide strife.

Years later, Cigogne assumed guardianship of Tsubame Otorii, a Cyber Team operative. During a pivotal clash, Christian forcibly transformed him into a monstrous Apostolus to battle Hibari Hanakoganei—now merged with her Diva, Aphrodite—enabling Christian’s retreat to challenge Crane Van Streich. Defeated by Hibari, Cigogne observed the Primum Mobile, a Diva-harboring fortress, vanish after Christian succumbed to accelerated aging.

Though surviving the ordeal, Cigogne suffered severe injuries. His final documented act depicts him limping toward France with a cane, bearing permanent scars from the conflict. His narrative arc concludes with this departure, unresolved in extant records.
