About
Elle, an off-the-books Replicant codenamed Black Lotus, was created by Niander Wallace Jr to be his unwitting assassin, the heart of his scheme to seize control of the Wallace Corporation.
Following a violent confrontation with Niander Wallace Jr that left him blind and his father, Wallace Sr, dead, along with Elle's sister Replicant, White Lily, Elle fled on her Spinner bike into the desert east of Los Angeles.
Months later, in the abandoned and irradiated ruins of Las Vegas, Elle discovered, in an ancient-Egyptian-themed casino, a whole community of Replicants, survivors of the dirty bomb, living in an apparent paradise ruled by two self-styled queens: Cleopatra and Nefertiti. On learning that Elle too was a Replicant, she was welcomed and declared a princess. They explained how two casinos, theirs and one run by the rival faction of Roman Replicants, now ruled the desert city in peace and harmony, with any found humans used as either slaves or gladiators to fight for their pleasure in the arena.
Elle was crowned Princess and learned that no one, on entering paradise, could ever leave and that she was to be wedded off to the leader of the Roman clan, Julius Cesar. To celebrate the union, Elle was brought to the arena to witness a group of prisoners thrown to the lions. Elle was shocked to see that former LAPD cop Alani Davis, whom she had rescued from her sister, was to be one of the them and she leapt into action determined to save the young woman...
