Voncid is the main character of Ghost Wax and is the Master of the School of Reclaiming.

## Description

Voncid is the only living Reclaimer. He is described as being 'the tall one with the dead eyes' . He wears a suit and a long coat .

Luca describes Voncid as being kind, and willing to answer questions . Cid is extremely powerful, being a Hamsa, yet is not part of The Venerim, which according to Olivia Biers-Weather is because he 'crippled himself' since he can't let go and his view has become 'too narrow' .

### The Sumerian

Voncid shares his body with Azem. Hamsa typically change bodies semi-frequently, but Voncid hasn't in ages, presumably to keep Azem's soul with him. He seems entirely unwilling to even consider sacrificing his body, even though he would survive such a thing . Olivia Biers-Weather claims he has been one person so long he's 'totally lost [his] perspective' .

Voncid also expresses the desire to permanently die to Emea, since he feels that he has existed with Azem's soul for so long that they have become indiscernible from each other .

## History

### Pre-canon

Voncid had a mentor in the previous Reclaimer - Ida - who passed their Remembrances onto him . This previous Reclaimer is currently unnamed.

Voncid was losing memories from holding so many Remembrances in his head, before he started recording them to wax .

### Season 1

#### Volume 1

Voncid starts recording his Remembrance's on wax cylinders with the assistance of Luca .

#### Volume 2

Voncid is stabbed by Charles Baybridge , and in trying to hold onto Azem, loosens all of the bindings holding monsters in his head . In limbo, trying to prevent Azem from 'slipping', his husband persuades him to consume him and defend their home. This transformation partially turns Voncid into the monster that he was before meeting Azem, but he is still able to recognise and identify Luca as a friend.

## Relationships

### Luca

Luca is his technical assistant. Luca describes Voncid as being kind, and willing to answer questions. He says that he wishes he was his actual father  and when Charles Baybridge is about to kill Voncid, the Reclaimer begs him to let him send Luca into the afterlife peacefully before Charles kills him and caused him to instinctively take Luca's body.
