Biography[]
After the Rapture[]
While Aurelio Sequoia Figueroa did the interrogation of Chang Wong with a lie detector computer program, who managed to pass with flying colors, Lars worked on rebooting the laptop that Chang purposely crashed in order to keep the investigators from finding out what was on it. Fortunately, Lars was unable to stop Chang from retrieving the information that he kept on a phantom drive after the laptop was rebooted. Lars was last seen in The Remnant at the start of the fourth Bowl Judgment when the incredible heat of the sun caused the windows in the New Babylon computer department to explode, impaling Lars and Rasha next to him with shards of glass before they were both baked to death by the extreme heat.
In Armageddon, he was mentioned in passing as a Scandinavian young man who died during the heat plague in a discussion about who should be culpable for the appearance of Tsion-Ben Judah preaching on Global Community television. While Figueroa's computer department is a primary candidate for responsibility, the plague of darkness prevented Figueroa and his personnel from maintaining the electronic communications and network of the Global Community.
