Lucidius Voltaris

„*Never seen an Ardoni before?*”
— Lucidius to Abbigail
**Lucidius Voltaris** was a cautious Ardoni of the Voltaris clan. He was part of a group of Voltaris led by Zinaida who agreed with Jalkar to steal an Ender Dragon egg. He was, along with the rest of the Voltaris, killed by Pythus and his troops during the Second Great War.

## Lore

Lucidius is a Voltaris who worked closely with Zinaida. He was sent with Zinaida to intercept Jalkar and Grim with the Dragon Egg.

## Personality and Traits

Unlike Zinaida, Lucidius was shown to exercise more caution, and seemed to be a smarter warrior because of this. He also seemed to hold some grudge towards humanity, shown during his interaction with Abbigail.

Like Tygren, Lucidius's views and ideals are considered extreme among more moderate Voltaris.

Lucidius is shown to be a durable warrior, able to take at least two kicks to the head before being incapacitated.

## Appearances

### Episode 1

Lucidius was among the Voltaris at Mt. Velgrin who watched the fight between Thalleous Sendaris and Tygren Voltaris from a higher part of the mountain.

### Episode 6

Lucidius accompanied Zinaida and several other Voltaris to the Tabora Crags to collect the Ender Dragon egg from Jalkar, who had stolen it from Etherea for them.

After negotiations with Grim and Jalkar proved difficult, Zinaida suggested that they kill the mercenaries to forcibly seize the egg instead of providing compensation. Lucidius however warned Zinaida that it wasn't a good idea, but Zinaida refused to listen, and a fight quickly broke out between the Voltaris and the two mercenaries.

During the fight, Lucidius attacked Jalkar but was swiftly defeated and knocked out by the mercenary, eventually ending up as the only surviving Voltaris from the fight. The two thieves fled with the egg and Zinaida's Song.

Later, Abbigail (who was chasing the mercenaries) arrived and found a wounded Lucidius, the sole survivor of the Voltaris group, lying against the wall. He reluctantly provided her with information as to Jalkar and Grim's whereabouts after she refused to kill him at his request. Abbigail quickly followed the thieves, leaving him to recover from his wounds.

### Episode 10

Having regained his strength and returned to Mt. Velgrin, Lucidius took part in the battle that ensued when a small force of Ardoni warriors from the other clans arrived and attacked them.

As the Ardoni clans inflicted more and more casualties on the outnumbered Voltaris, the survivors (including Lucidius) began to fall back towards the portal. Lucidius, Tygren, and one other were the only surviving Voltaris on Mt. Velgrin by the time Ingressus Voltaris, the Deathsinger, emerged through the portal.

### Episode 11

After the Deathsinger returned from the past, the battle resumed, now swinging in the Voltaris clan's favor. After the remaining Voltaris won the battle with the Deathsinger's help, Lucidius reported of the clan's failures to reclaim the Prime Songs and prevent a battle from happening on Mt. Velgrin, much to the Deathsinger's ire and his own shame. Later he picked up an Aggroshock Song from a Kaltaris who was slain by Tygren during the earlier battle.

### Episode 23

Lucidius helped the Deathsinger by killing the Guardians restraining him. When the Deathsinger was confronted by the Elder Guardian, he killed it as well. He and the other Voltaris followed the Deathsinger into Ataraxia, which they soon took over and burned down.

### Episode 28

In Northwind, Lucidius accompanied Ingressus and Deltheus to the Walls of Time. Angered that there was no mention of the Voltaris clan's plight, Lucidius suggested that they force the Glacians to tear down the Walls and rewrite them, though the Deathsinger placated him by stating that more would be written on the Walls very soon.

At this time, the Deathsinger decided to move forward with their plans to betray Pythus and aid his brother Vulcannus against him. Lucidius questioned the timing, though the Voltaris leader told him that things were falling into place and that they had to be ready. When asked, both Lucidius and Deltheus agreed to join him.

### Episode 29

Lucidius was among the Voltaris who followed the Deathsinger into the throne room of the Nether, joining Vulcannus in his attempt to remove Pythus from the throne. However, their plan failed when Pythus revealed he had known of the clan's treachery all along, and sent the Angel of Death to Hailstone to massacre the entire clan. In the chaotic battle that followed, the Voltaris who followed the Deathsinger, including Lucidius, were killed by Pythus's loyalists.
