According to Ritual Entertainment's CEO Harry Miller, "Despite her noble goal, her passion to reclaim her father's glory leads her to dispense with the normal scientific checks and balances, and she begins her slide into evil."

Ritual's co-founder Richard Gray said Elexis and Blade "have kind of a strange obsession with one another for various reasons. It's almost like a love / hate relationship."
