Volt-X3, better known as Volt, is a side character in Incineration-Lore. He is the last remaining member of a Russian squad from the Cold War, who now works for Storm as an assassin.

## Personality

Volt is a man of few words, only having a single line in the entirety of Incineration-Lore. Besides the fact that he doesn't speak, Volt is shown to be fairly kind towards those he cares for, and shows sympathy for those who have been long dead, or have only been suffering. Despite this, he still has no issue killing those who stand in his way, and will take a life if needed. Although he will murder, he does not enjoy it. Volt is much unlike Storm, and is not violent, vicious, or heartless, and works for only Storm to support his family. Storm takes much pride in him, deeming him to be one of his best mercenaries.

## Past

Volt was born in Russia, in the city of Oymyakon, into a family who was barely able to feed themselves. At the young age of 9, Volt began to learn to use guns, as he wanted to enlist in the military once he was older. He would practice with all sorts of guns every single day, until he turned 14, when he got a job at a local convenience store, where he worked to start to help his family. In his off time from work and school, he would continue his hobby of marksmanship, until the age of 18, in which he joined the Russian Army to fight in the Cold War.

Volt, when in the Russian Army participated in many successful missions, until he was put in his final mission. In this mission, he was put into a squad of four, and was tasked with holding down a Russian fort against a huge raid, with only him and his three other comrades. Volt had known the three other soldiers for a while before they joined the military, and was very close friends with all three of them. Volt himself was the sniper of the squad, and would switch to a rifle if need be. Perhaps Volt's best friend, Barry, was the squad leader. He and Volt had known each other since they were 6, and often hung out with each other at school and after school. Ruslan was another good friend of Volt, and was the rifleman of the group, boasting excellent accuracy. The last member of the squad was Hedeon, the grenadier of the group. The four soldiers, before the battle, all prayed for their success, and got all of their weaponry, equipment, and utility ready. The four had fierce determination to win the fight, and that they showed, as when the raid begun, the squad began mowing the enemy down like no tomorrow, and protected the fort with their lives. There had come a point where Ruslan grew very tired, and tried to get back to take a drink of water from his canteen, but in the short moments of him trying to drink the water, he was sniped by an enemy sniper in the head, killing him instantly. The other three soldiers were devastated, but had to keep their focus on the task at hand; **Avenge Ruslan, at all costs.** The remaining soldiers fought fiercely, taking out hundreds of enemy soldiers, until Hedeon was snuck up on and stabbed in the back with an M9 Bayonet, piercing through his chest. Hedeon, clutching his chest, reached for his RYS knife, pulled it out, and stabbed his enemy straight in the heart, killing them effortlessly. Hedeon, deeply wounded, got back up and continued to fight, not tending to his wound much.

The three remaining soldiers were each overwhelmed by the absurd amount of enemy soldiers on them, but that didn't let that stop them from fighting. Eventually, Volt was shot in the leg and fell to the ground, unable to get up. Barry was now faced with all of the enemies that were firing at Volt, plus the ones he was already dealing with. Something deep inside Barry ignited, that gave him a surge of power, making him remember what he was doing all of this for, WHO he was doing all of the for. Barry eliminated the rest of the soldiers that were firing at him, and took cover to help Volt tend to his wounds, in which he was able to bandage Volt's leg, and help him to a chair. Barry insisted on Volt to let his leg rest, and continued the fight on his own. At the other side of the fort, Hedeon was effortlessly taking out enemy soldiers, left and right, but was slowly feeling weaker and weaker, in which it got to a point where he couldn't stand, and died a slow, painful death of blood loss. Barry and Volt were the only two remaining, and the enemy forces were almost defeated. In a last ditch effort to take the fort, an enemy soldier threw a perfectly aimed grenade right at Barry's feet, in which he tried to evade, but could not. Before Barry was killed, though, he killed five more of the remaining six soldiers, and smiled, as his body was ripped apart by the blast. Volt, hearing this, got up from his seat, his leg hurting like crazy, and saw the scene before him. He knew what this meant.

Volt picked up the SMG that Barry was using, and killed the last remaining soldier. Volt, after this, was torn. He had won the battle, but at what cost? The loss of his dearest friends? Volt called the general and explained he was successful in his mission, but was wounded, and had lost his comrades. After that, Volt was taken to a hospital where his wounds were treated. Volt was then awarded several medals and praised as being a national hero. He was proud of himself, and most certainly his squad, but the other half of him felt guilty for being the only one of his squad to make it out of the war alive. Volt still looks back on those old memories he cherished with his dearest friends so many years ago, and frequently leaves flowers at their graves. After the war, his life went back to normal. He used a lot of the benefits he got from being in the military to support his family, and lived a somewhat happy life from then on. Eventually, the word spread to America of this wonderful story, and of course, it got to Storm, who instantly took interest in the mercenary, and recruited him to Incineration, where Volt seeks to avenge his fallen comrades.

## Trivia

•Volt is the first character to receive a "Past" section on the Incineration Wiki. This is sort of like a backstory, but not in detail.

•Volt is one of the few characters in Incineration-Lore to feel bad about murdering others, even if they are a terrible person.

•Volt only has one line in the entirety of Incineration-Lore. His one line is "Прошу прощения за то, что не смог спасти вас, дорогие друзья ...", which is Russian for "I'm sorry for not being able to save you, my dear friends...". the friends he was referring to are Ruslan, Barry, and Hedeon, his three other comrades in his military squad.

•Some may think that Volt doesn't speak because he doesn't understand English well. This is false, as he does, and can speak it fluently, but prefers to not speak, unless around those he knows extremely well. He can also speak fluent Russian, as well.
