Background
Lilith was born into the great noble Arkind family of the Elbard Theocracy. When she was ten years old, she met Laus Barn for the first time at an illustrious party and was immediately smitten with him. Having reached the age when she was expected to choose a fiancé for herself, Lilith wished to be with Laus, but her father tried to talk her out of it due to Laus being of a much highter prestige than her. Lilith, however, refused to accept his rationale and gave such a heated speech that he reconsidered. When Lilith was inducted into the Holy Church, she worked tirelessly to rise through the ranks in order prove herself to be a worthy enough partner for Laus.

Chronology
Lilith was among the highter ups within the Holy Church that took part in an important meeting to discuss their recent defeat at Andika by their newly discovered enemies, the Liberators. When Laus was being criticized by several of the other church's leaders, as having been the one who lead their forces that were defeated, Lilith spoke up in Laus' defense and apologized to him for their behavior, to which Laus expressed his indifference. Second Division Commander Strauss Malkyrion then spoke up to Laus and criticized him for not giving Lilith the respect he felt she deserved, as well as having assigned her the role of replacing the knights that were killed a Andika. Lilith then told Strauss that she felt honored doing the work Laus gave her. Soon afterwards, Pope Lucifer Slaine Elbard arrived and presented with him a woman named Ainz Arsalk that he claimed was their god Ehit's chosen oracle. Ainz then proceeded to tell the leaders of the church about the members of the Liberators that were in possession of Ancient Magic, as well as revealing the location of one of the last remaining within the beastman nation, the Haltina Republic that was located in Pale Forest. Lucifer then ordered the church to wage war on the republic in order to capture the Ancient Magic user and bring them to their cathedral.
