Fictional biography
The L.D.S. are on a mission to kill the Leader of the Automated Robots. Despite the fact that he won't stay in the grave, they are convinced they can put him there permanently, because he is actually the evil one. The Deceptive Constructs have deceived them into thinking they are fighting for good, while actually performing evil deeds. Good always conquers evil, yet they can't understand why all their attempts to eliminate the Leader have failed. Maybe one day the Crusaders will get through to them and save them from a fate that awaits them at the end of the road. In the meantime, the L.D.S are a dangerous threat.
