Beyond this shared traits, both of his known bodies displayed a lightly-colored, scraggly beard and dressed in overwhelmingly purplish-to-burgundy colours. At least one of his human forms had an unhealthy, sickly skin tone and a frozen, disconcerting, toothy grin.

[[File:Mandragora-257 and Governor-105 in All That Sparkles Is Not Concrete.png|thumb|left|Mandragora showing [[Governor-105]] his first vial of [[Pure Elixir]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[All That Sparkles Is Not Concrete (comic story)|All That Sparkles Is Not Concrete]]'')]]Eventually, he was exiled to [[Morningstar 1]], the Cupids' lonely base on [[Venus#In the 97th Cosmos|Venus]] in the [[97th Cosmos]]. There, he completed the alchemical “great work”, creating the [[Pure Elixir]] which could allow him to turn any metal into gold. However, as a [[Governor-105]] soon pointed out, this was of limited use to a [[Clockwork Cherub]], particularly one stationed on a barren planet. A very dismayed Mandragora found the wherewithal to suggest that they use the “unlimited gold” as building material for some new walls.

=== As a criminal === | |||
He became a criminal and cheated death, hopping from one body to another, as he was chased through [[the Multiverse]] by another member of his kind, [[Pythagoras-858]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') According to Pythagoras, he “got killed, (…) and then reembodied himself several times over, (…) although never properly.” ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Grand Multiverse Hotel (short story)|The Grand Multiverse Hotel]]'') | He became a criminal and cheated death, hopping from one body to another, as he was chased through [[the Multiverse]] by another member of his kind, [[Pythagoras-858]].

It was ultimately discovered that Mandragora, in a new body, had been acting as the advisor of the [[Consistency Imperium]], deceiving them to get them to unwittingly ''accelerate'' the spread of the [[Rift]]s threatening the fabric of reality, being central to the [[Rifts Crisis]]. He had built [[Mandragora's Machine|a "Machine"]] meant to spark the ultimate detonation of all realities, in some insane effort to ascend to godhood. However, his plan was uncovered in the nick of time, and the backfiring of his scheme was believed to have brought about his final death. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rifts Crisis Officially Over!
