Lord Cedric

thumb|713x713px
Lord Cedric, also known on Earth as Rick Hoffman, is the right-hand man of Phobos, and acts as the head of his armies.
He ran Ye Olde Bookshop in the guise of a human bookseller named Rick Hoffman to gain Elyon Brown's trust and help lure her to Meridian so that Phobos could steal her powers.
He was killed in the final battle for Meridian.
== Appearance ==
He appears as lanky blonde haired human wearing glasses.
His true form is a green red snake with long white hair and is larger then most characters.
== Personality ==
He is highly sadistic such as when he tourtured the prisnors for infomation.
He is loyal to no one, as shown in the Oni Mask Arc.
== Powers, Skills & Abilities ==
In his "Cedric Hoffman" form, Cedric is an excellent hand-to-hand fighter. 
He also possesses the magical ability to transform into a large snake/man hybrid at will.
Cedric can transform into his winged version that can enable him to fly. 
According to Elias Van Dahl, Cedric can make openings in the Veil, though if this was true, then the Veil is rendered useless against the forces of evil, thus leading to a possible error and confusion. 
During the numerous times he battles the Guardians, it is shown that he is capable of shooting energy blasts and raising magical barriers. 
Cedric is able to sense Will's presence even when she was invisible. 
Cedric also demonstrates the ability to disrupt, erase and reveal the memories of others, like he did with Mr. Collins when he impersonated him. 
Cedric can trap others in cold, hard impenetrable bubbles, like he did with the Guardians when they returned to Meridian to rescue Taranee. 
Cedric's powers also extend to shapeshifting into the appearance of others, like he did with Mr. Collins.
Cedric can force disguised beings back into their original form, as he did with Elyon's parents. 
Cedric, at one point, seemed to have some sort of telekinetic power. 
When he was trying to get off the Horn of Hypnos from Martin, he held out his hand and the Horn raised up towards him. 
Cedric's main power appeared to have been super-strength when in fights with the Guardians. 
This strength is potent enough to snap Alchemy's vines in one second. 
Cedric appears to be immune to fire in Happy Birthday Will and The Final Battle, as Taranee can send fireballs hurtling towards him, and he just swipes them aside sending them flying off course. 
However, her fireballs seemed to affect him in Ghosts of Elyon when she was protecting Cornelia from him. 
Cedric's main attack is normally using his tail as a whip.
