List of Characters

The following is a list of characters who made an appearance or was mentioned in *Lunacid*, arranged in alphabetical order. Characters who made a physical appearance will have their main articles linked.

### Abdul

**Abdul**, also referred to as Great Prophet Abdul and Mad Wizard Abdul, is an unseen character exiled into the Great Well, likely due to practicing forbidden magic. He is a pioneer of Blood magic, having created the Lithomancy and Coffin rings, and the former leader of the cult of monks that once dwelled in the Temple of Silence. Since the Blood Strike spell was also found in the Temple of Silence, it's possible that Abdul had created that ring as well.

Little is known about him and his current whereabouts are unknown, but it is heavily implied he left through a special door located in Abdul's Passage. This door was opened by him completing a number of different rituals to prove his worth, and to appease the "God of Cruelty". Who this "God of Cruelty" is is unknown, but it is heavily implied it's Bayagototh, as the tapestry in the Passage seems to be a depiction of him.

His name as well as the title of "Mad Wizard" is likely a reference to Abdul Alhazred from the Lovecraft mythos.

### Ashley

**Ashley**, best known as Fire Witch Ashley, is an unseen character mentioned in various spell rings and by Daedalus. She is a pioneer of Fire magic, having created the Flame Flare, Flame Spear and the Fire Worm spells. She may have been a pyromaniac, being singlehandedly responsible for setting a whole kingdom on fire. It's implied that she killed Sir Hickett the Invincible, though it's unknown why. Her whereabouts are currently unknown.

Her name is likely a reference to Ashley from the *WarioWare* series, as well as being a pun for "ash."

### Bonenard

**Bonenard** is an unseen character mentioned in the Fetid Mire. He was previously Jellisha's boyfriend. In Jellisha's quest, the player is tasked to find him, only to find his diary noting that he has "found another."

### Calamis Cerulean of Lyria

*Main: Calamis*

**Calamis Cerulean of Lyria** is an unseen character whose notes are found across the desert tomb section of the Boiling Grotto and may be one of the most historically significant characters of the Great Well. They are a resident of the ancient kingdom of Lyria during the First Age of Magic before its collapse. Evidence from the Forbidden Archives and their own notes suggest that they are the mentioned Lyrian responsible for the "crying moon" (sometimes called the "moonfall") event. Their motive seems to be to lull the Great One back to sleep, possibly to prevent a calamity. While Calamis had succeeded, their actions caused the moon to cascade liquid moonlight directly onto the kingdom of Lyria, which will eventually carve a massive hole into the Earth, and gave rise to the moonlight beasts (called "fog beasts" in some documents). As punishment, Calamis was among the first people to be exiled into the pit. Calamis's final note showed remorse for their actions and suggested that Lyria was on the brink of collapse before the event:

> Great destruction was caused by this act. And I became one of the first Exiled. Over time I am certain to lose myself, so I leave behind these memories. Know that while I caused much turmoil, I did so for hope. Hope that we could extend our time in this realm a little longer.

The "crying moon" event led to the creation of the Moonlight sword, the brief Second Age of Magic, the establishment of the Golden Lance alliance, and the construction of the Great Well.

### Clive

**Clive** is a skeleton who resides in Wing's Rest, though he claims that "Clive" was what people called him and that he actually has forgotten his true name. When the moon is full, a translucent crown can be seenw above his head.

### Griffith

**King Griffith** is an unseen character mentioned in the Forbidden Archives. He is known as the first human to acquire magic by drinking the cranial fluid of a felled Jotunn. Because of this, magic became common knowledge and led to the creation of entire armies of spellswords to help defend their kingdoms against the fog beasts. This led to the First Age of Magic.

Due to his role in the acceptance of magic in this new world, it's possible that he is the ancestor of the Fanu family.

His name is likely a reference to Griffith of the *Berserk* franchise.

### Jellisha

> *Main article: Jellisha*

**Jellisha** is a slime girl who resides in the Fetid Mire.

### Josiah the Hermit

**Josiah the Hermit** is a mentioned character in Yosei Forest. He was a self-exiled man who took refuge in Yosei Forest to nurture the plants. Apparently, he would give healing herbs to any passerby, however died from unknown causes. If the player speaks to Patchouli after a few interactions, she'll give them a quest to retrieve the Skull of Josiah in the Forest Canopy, where Josiah's petrified body sits adjacent.

### Jusztina Fanu

**Queen Jusztina Fanu** is a character who had written numerous notes across Castle Le Fanu. She was the lover (and eventually wife) of Ophelia. She mentioned that she was under a family curse (many fog beasts would appear around Castle Le Fanu) and was the last living member of the Fanu line (before Crilall's birth). Supposedly, she had solved the family curse by drinking blood, leading her to become a vampire. Eventually, she had convinced Ophelia to become a vampire as well by drinking each other's blood. The two would eventually bear a child, Crilall.

### Old Man

The **Old Man** (called Lobos in the game files) is a character who first appears in the intro. His job seems to be dumping corpses into the Great Well, and upon noticing your hand clinging to the cart as he dumps the bodies, chops it off. He can later be encountered again in the Terminus Prison, sitting in a cell. Despite chopping off your hand and sending you to the Well in the first place, he doesn't seem to harbor any ill will to you, even calling you a friend. He talks about how the only reason he was even dumping bodies was to support his family, which he would later found to be dead years ago, which he himself muses that he dumped their bodies unknowingly. He then tells you to promise him to "never stop" until the dreamer awakens, where he dies. Returning to his corpse again shows that his head and right arm are completely gone, and returning with the Death Scythe doesn't spawn a Specter.

### Ophelia Fanu

**Ophelia Fanu**, also known as Ophelia of Lyria and the Great Knight of Lyria, is an unseen character mentioned in Castle Le Fanu. She was the lover (and eventually wife) of Queen Jusztina Fanu. A statue of her in knight armor, fending off fog beasts, sits at the entrance of Castle Le Fanu. The player can find some of her written notes to Jusztina throughout the castle.

At some point in her life, Ophelia had chosen to drink blood at Jusztina's behest, turning her into a vampire. Apparently, she had continued her military service to Lyria afterward. The two would eventually bear a child, Crilall.

**Sir Hicket the Invincible** is a former knight of the Golden Lance who journeyed through the Boiling Grotto to slay the Cursed Knight Sucsarius. However, he had an unfortunate encounter with a skilled fire witch (implied to be Fire Witch Ashley), who cooked him alive in his mighty armor. It's unknown why she had done this.

Since then, Hicket's corpse remained inside his invincible armor in a permanent kneeling position, becoming a grim memorial for those who pass by. If the player speaks to Sheryl in the Boiling Grotto, she will give a quest to help her permanently remove Hicket's armor.

### Sir Jeff and Sir David

**Sir Jeff and Sir David** are unseen characters mentioned in the Boiling Grotto. Very little is known about them, but the player can find their gravestones.

If the player has killed Death and acquired the Death Scythe, their spirits will attack the player when they approach their graves.

### Sucsarius

*Main: Cursed Knight Sucsarius*

**Cursed Knight Sucsarius** is the second boss of the game, being first mentioned in the Boiling Grotto. He was originally a valiant knight who was cursed so heavily that it made him immortal, but also driving him mad. After the war ended, in a brief moment of lucidity, he threw himself down the Well, becoming the guardian to the Great One.

### Therian Bunch

**Therian Bunch** is a deceased character found in Castle Le Fanu. He was a former Golden Lance spellsword captured by the Lyrians. His body is found in an icy prison inside the cattle cells, next to his final words inscribed in a notebook. His spirit now inhabits a spectral ice sword in the form of the Summon Ice Sword spell.

### Uxviharad the Golden

**Uxviharad the Golden** was a prominent member and saint of the Golden Lance. A mysterious holy man originating from Carcosa, whose true name is unknown, he believed that the key to true holy power was the Sun. He eventually, somehow, managed to achieve extreme amounts of power, but eventually died of unknown causes. His corpse was paraded around, and members of the Golden Lance would even drink his blood. Eventually, his corpse would become dry and brittle, and would be tossed into the Great Well, where a shrine would be built surrounding it. This exact shrine can be found in Abdul's Passage, where his gigantic corpse bleeds a yellow liquid from it's face. There is also a plaque in front of the corpse that reads:

>  "Glorious Golden Uxviharad! Please accept our humble flesh! We who carry your golden essence, bath us in radiance! We shed this tainted skin in your name! Glorious Golden Uxviharad!"
>
>

### "Wicked King of Rats"

**The "Wicked King of Rats"** is an unseen character mentioned by Clive. He was a witch king of the First Age of Magic who ruled over a starving kingdom, before his own knights banished him into the depths carved by flowing moonlight—before the construction of the Great Well.

> "His eyes were plucked out so he could never look up from the well. One of his arms was cut off so he could never climb out. And rats surrounded him, his only nourishment. Over the years he would continuously starve but never died. Using the last of his magic, the exiled witch king turned himself to stone. And the legend goes that in the deepest reaches of the depths, there is a crumbling statue of him, one worshipped by rats."

It's heavily implied that the witch king is Sotiris, a monstrous humanoid creature who appeared in Akuma Kira's *Lost in Vivo*.
