Apparently, Lotus/Suu is a girl...

Francis is in Lumi's plot though. I just simply do not think Nexon has had reason to finalize a death at the moment. Orchid shows up for DS at a much later level than Mercedes. Hiver is still around, and so is Baroq despite multiple failures.

I agree, until Nexon actually gives proof, the only one that could be considered dead is Lotus (even then he still techincally isn't dead) and POSSIBLY Von Leon ( a friend told me that he actually dies after you fight him, but I'm not sure if I should believe her...)
