**Lance**, the **Rogue Ender Mage** (formerly known as the **Void Lord**), is an anti-heroic supporting character in Rainimator's Fractures Saga and the main antagonist of the War of the Ender Kingdoms and the Tales of the Netherbane (albeit shared with Porkshire).

Lance was once an extremely powerful Enderkin magus and master of Void Magic and Mentokinesis, rivaling the likes of Gwendolyn with ease. Once the Lord of the Void Islands and leader of the  Void Kingdom, he sought the End Crystals power and ruthlessly attacked the other End Kingdoms to obtain them. However, his reign was challenged by Ceris the End Matriarch as well as the southern kingdoms alliance known as the  Ender Watchers. After his legion was defeated, he was dethroned and banished to the Overworld for his crimes.

During his isolation to the Swamp Lands, Lance experimented with his abilities and created various creatures, such as the Ender Frog and the Man-Dragon. After his first appearance in Poison, he was killed by Abigail Crysteffor and Kane, forcing him to channel his mind into the Ender Frog's body to survive.

In *Be Afraid*, as the Ender Frog, Lance encountered the Endstone Crusaders and vowed to help them reclaim the End Crystals, seemingly beginning his path to redemption.

## Design

During the War of the Ender Kingdoms, he still wore his white gloves and cape, but in dark blue and gray color with white ends. He wore a white t-shirt and dark blue jacket with white jacket fasteners. His Ender Eyes had black sclera, and near his left eye, dark gray strips. His skin tone and hair remained the same.

Lance is a dashing fellow with dark, black bangs and a deep purple suit with silver buttons, decorated with a small collection of medallions. On his shoulders lies a pair of silver shoulder-pads, with a purple belt around his waist. He possesses dark grey pants and black boots, as well as a long cape and elegant white gloves.

His right eye is normally a shade of dark blue whilst his left sports an Ender Eye. The right eye can toggle into an Ender Eye as well, similar to Rain, as shown in the Poison thumbnail. Unusually, (for a male character at least) he also possesses eyelashes.

After being gravely injured, Lance transferred his consciousness from his body to his Ender Frog.

## Personality

In his past, Lance was described as a very polite and charismatic individual, capable of wooing princesses and powerful sorceress with just his charm alone. However, he always held a gentlemen's respect with whatever he did, asking for permission before acting - something Dyana-Whitewing declared should be the norm in the Ender Kingdoms.

As time wore on and he embraced his role as an Ender Lord, Lance became a rather narcissistic character, who lusted for power and domination. He would scoff at the Ender Watcher philosophy, believing that the pursuit of power and glory for the realm overrides most moral values. He was also rather brash and presumably reckless, thinking rather highly of himself and his abilities. However, he ultimately wishes to preserve the glory of the End, in a way which could be comparable to Naeus before his corruption.

He can be presumed to be someone begrudging to those who insult or underestimate him. He is somewhat of a flamboyant character as well, and his movements are notably exaggerated.

## Skills

―Rainimator on Twitter

Lance is an extremely powerful magus, gifted to him by the power of the End Crystals. He is capable of Teleportation Magic with or without his Karambits, as well as arcane magic through usage of his enchanted book (namely Arcane Blades). He can still use magic without his book, but these powers are mostly unknown. A master of manipulation, Lance is able to twist his opponents mind to his advantage and is able to spawn Man-Dragons by himself or by using his book. Lance has the power to manipulate dreams, and may be able to grant magical power to others, such as the Ender Frog. The mage also can create permanent life—such as the Ender Frog and the Man-Dragon.

Moreover, Lance is able to use lightning, though the exact power of these spells is unknown, since he has never been seen using it in combat.

Given his Enderkin biology, he is physically stronger, faster and lighter than an average human, as displayed through his dance-like attacks. Lance is a wise advisor though somewhat arrogant, and understands Ceris well enough to predict the placement of her relics. Lance must be at least a solid commander, as he nearly won his war against the End Queen. He also has Mentokinesis, to which he can create a Dream World, where he can play with his opponents fears. Additionally, Lance has the power to transfer his mind into some other beings, such as the Ender Frog, if needed.

If he was fully empowered by the End Crystals - further than he was in The Brave - he would be able to create a 'disintegrating beam', turning anyone into 'void' .

## Trivia

* It was privately confirmed that Lance was voiced by Austin Lee Matthews, a mainstream voice actor known for voicing Roche in the 2020 video game Final Fantasy VII Remake.
	+ His voice actor was changed later to Michael Zekas due to costs and other factors, therefore sharing his VA with Nostra.
		- He is the first character to have his VA changed mid-series, as opposed to between series'/trailers.
* Lance's name is based upon the medieval pole-arm used by cavilers and other mounted soldiers.
* Lance is the first male character who has eyelashes, and is posed in a feminine way.
	+ Only female characters have had eyelashes up until this point.
* Lance is born on February 29th, sharing a birth month with Abigail Crysteffor, Daryll and Elite Evergreen.

* Lance is the third confirmed Enderkin in the Series (being preceded by Ceris and Stella)
	+ Also Lance is the first Enderkin whose hair has a natural color.
		- Standard Enderkin have purple or pink hue hair, whilst Lance has black.
	+ It is theorized that Lance can use magic without the usage of his enchanted book, (Similar to Stella) however it is currently unconfirmed.
* Lance's exiled design is based upon Hubert von Vestra from Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
	+ This is supported by a comment by Dexter Kronos on the Rainimator Discord, in relation to a fanart of him by Demon Bread『Gio』. In her response she claimed to be "scared of Hubert von Vestra again" and mentioned it was one of his references.
		- This also shows Dexter Kronos was responsible for making his design.
	+ His appearance is also potentially based on Robin from Fire Emblem: Awakening.
	+ Incidentally, his voice actor, Austin Lee Matthews, has previously worked on the Fire Emblem series in the past, voicing the character Azelle in Fire Emblem Heroes.
* Lance's Void Lord design is based off Stolas' Lust Ring outfit from Helluva Boss, but with Skulk coloration.
