Reginald Augustus

**Reginald Augustus** is a citizen and former ship pilot of the United Movian Empire and is one of the eight Heralds of The Redlight Void. He is also in a relationship with Aurelia Beatrice Archambeau.

## Second encounter of Arat Khan

After his first encounter with Arat and following Neron's departure from the group, Reginald was put in charge of the Cosmic Crows, at which point he encountered Arat Khan again. Despite a great struggle, his ship systems were disabled and he was captured and taken to the south of the galaxy. After toying with Arat and his crew once more, Reginald was tossed into outer space, but he was saved by one of the heralds taking over his body and using it to defeat Arat Khan and send the badly wounded Reginald to Uslsus.

In Uslsus, Reginald reunited with Aurelia and went back to the area in search of his crew, but they were gone by that point. After being abandoned, Reginald spent over a month in the ship, almost losing his mind until he was rescued by the Movian Military

## The Redlight Void

After being haunted by visions of a nirexorem pirate for months following his second encounter with Arar Khan, Reginald finally met the pirate three and a half months after the Sigma wars concluded. After a short battle where Reginald proved to be no match for the Herald, he agreed to leave his crew and be taken away to the Redlight Void in exchange for Aurelia's life being spared.

After two weeks of exposure to the void, Reginald awakened as one of the heralds, meeting the pirate known as Alzrith, a prophaniti named Abraxia and the rest of the heralds soon afterwards. Following Xanemus' awakening, he was granted a new gauntlet that allowed him to manipulate celestial objects not exceeding the size of a moon. While testing its limits, Reginald created a black hole in the void, almost causing his own death and forcing Xanemus to intervene.

After being dispatched out of the void, Reginald and Alzrith made their way to the Jerrick system, planning to hold off the UME and other nations long enough for the prophaniti heralds to destroy their home planet with minimal issues.

## Tools, powers and abilities

* **Wire Gauntlet 1.0 -** Reginald's first wire device was a self-engineered glove that rested on his right arm. By spinning a disc on top of the glove, he could turn on the device, allowing him to manipulate the wires in several ways, such as making a wall that can rip humans to shreds, make wire traps or simply tie someone up. This device was lost after Reginald's second encounter with Arat Khan.
* **Wire Gauntlet 2.0 -** made for Reginald by a Dlanian craftsman, the gauntlet was noticeably bulkier than the previous one. It came with several upgrades such as a nigh-omnidirectional angle of attack and the ability to fire laser wires. The gauntlet was shattered by Alzrith during his and Reginald's encounter in Reginald's ship.
* **Gauntlet of the Cosmos -** after becoming one of the heralds of the Redlight Void, Reginald was granted a new gauntlet by their leader, Xanemus Holhbane. This gauntlet allows him to manipulate any celestial object that doesn't exceed the size of a moon and create black holes, though the latter use is highly impractical and almost lead to Reginald's demise. The gauntlet is powered by the redlight energy in Reginald's body, meaning that it ceases to function if Reginald exhausts his strength.
* **Redlight Link -** after becoming a Herald, Reginald gained the ability to communicate with other heralds across vast distances by connecting his redlight energy to theirs.
