Lance is a major antagonist of Nightfall, introduced in Volume 3. He is the co-leader of the Prism Followers.

## Personality

On his own, Lance seems to be quiet when there's no conflict. Though, he is impatient with other Prism Followers; others described him as bossy and controlling. He wants everything to be in order, and will always obey Infinity. He's also very smart with technology and programming, as he was able to clone Pokémon, create gadgets, and the like.

His personality when confronting opponents, namely the Alliance, contrasts with his quiet side. He usually raises his voice with confidence, and enjoys taunting the others. When he taunts, he tends to bring up the past of certain Pokémon to further bring them frustration. Lance is also known for being very sadistic, as shown when he taunts and how he fights.

He appears to be relentless, but the Mienshao does have his boundaries. Although Crystal is an enemy, Lance briefly called a truce, and protected her from a Zoroark who was harassing her. Perhaps Lance had some good morals in there somewhere...

## History

Lance's past remains vaguely unknown before the time he joined Infinity, but he did describe having a somewhat normal life.

In Volume 3, he was tasked with being a spy to see was occurring in Nightfall. He tagged alongside Blade, acting as a "good guy". He went quite a while without being caught, but was eventually found out by Axel one night. Having betrayed Glaze and the others, he returned to Infinity, satisfied that the plan went smoothly. However, later on, Lance was killed in a battle against Lightning. This wasn't the end of the Fighting-type, as his body was retrieved, and he was resurrected into a robotic Pokémon. Thus, he gained his signature features, such as the crystal, poisonous abilities, and glowing eyes.

In Volume 4, Lance became acquainted with a Naganadel, who was interested in the Prism Followers. They teamed up, and later on, Lance had the ability to fuse with the Naganadel to become stronger. He kept this form secret for a while, creating Ultra in the meantime, before revealing his form to Axel in Ultra Space Wilds.

## Additional Info

Lance's Payback had been modified upon becoming artificial, allowing the ability to possibly poison an opponent. Along with this, Lance was also given a second Ability, the Corrosion Ability, so he could poison any Pokémon without problem. His Focus Band is embedded inside his body.

### Poison

When fused with the Naganadel, his Payback changed into Venoshock, and his Regenerator Ability was replaced with Beast Boost.

## Trivia

* If Lance's crystal is broken, he must possess a living being in order to stay alive.
* Lance's fusion form used to be with a Giratina, but was changed due to Lightning already having a Giratina fusion.
	+ Additionally, Lance also originally had a fusion form with Axel, where he possessed the Rigon to stay alive. He did this once with Glaze as well, though it was a one-time-only thing, and not reoccurring like the Lance/Axel fusion. This concept was reused with Nova.
* Along with having created Ultra, Lance also created Thunder prior to that, and let Thunder assist him in creating Glaze's clone.
* Lance's crystal design was inspired by the one on Lusamine's outfit, providing a reason for the similar look. Other than that, they have no connection.
