Modithrimus

## Gallery

Lieven Modithrimus is the former King of Dirlock. After creating a deal with the Voodoo Master, Modithrimus obtained powers of resurrection and became his loyal servant. His plans were thwarted by the Heralds of Retha, but this artificer then went on to become Zashrir's enforcer. His arrogance and greed were ultimately his undoing and led to his final death within the Automaton Lab.

## Appearance

Modithrimus is a Caucasian human with blonde, combed hair, and blue eyes. He has an average build and is somewhat pale. He wore royal garments along with a luxurious artificer armor. Additionally he wore a golden crown.

After his body was disintegrated and reconstructed Modithrimus' skin became purple while wearing a damaged version of his armor and rags all around his body. His crown was also visibly damaged.

## Brief History

Lieven Modithrimus was born into Dirlock's royal family. A young artificer, he murdered his father and brother to claim the throne for himself. Under unknown circumstances Modithrimus met and made a deal with the Voodoo Master, a fraction of his power in return for the artificer's loyalty. Eventually Modithrimus met the Awakened Human Krites, who tried to kill the king several times but resurrected himself after every attempt. This resulted in Krites becoming the kings loyal enforcer, afraid of his power.

Later on Modithrimus organized Dirlock's Tournament. This was secretly an attempt to gain the names of Senothia's strongest and give them to his master, then conquer the planet unchallenged. This plan was thwarted by the Heralds of Retha during the final stages of the tournament by cleverly disintegrating Modithrimus' body into a string and swiftly send him to Senothia's core.

All according to their plan, Zashrir barely managed to somewhat restore Modithrimus' body after the tournament. He became a guard of sorts at the Automaton Lab; hunting down intruders and keeping an eye on Aaron Bridges. He had a brief encounter with the Heralds of Retha within the lab and later had an all-out fight. The team couldn't beat him, but they stalled long enough until his distorted body gave out, defeating him for good. Modithrimus met his end at the hands of the heroes and a better artificer.

## Abilities

Modithrimus was originally thought to be a power-stealing demigod in the eyes of the Heralds of Retha. He was later revealed to be a much weaker and untalented person, but still had certain useful powers.

* **Artificer Mana Manipulation-** Modithrimus is naturally gifted at controlling artificer mana, and has an abundance of it. Provided he has the right equipment, this Master Artificer can do something very unique: summon elemental constructs. Modithrimus could even create giant-sized constructs for a limited time.
* **Resurrection-** Powered by Zashrir's power, Modithrimus had the ability to independently resurrect himself shortly after death. This process healed any wounds or injuries he may have obtained making him a nearly unbeatable opponent.
	+ **Power Augmentation-** Every time Modithrimus resurrected himself his power would increase. He became more durable with each passing death. Under different circumstances this would have made him an incredibly dangerous opponent.

## Equipment

Modithrimus carried an assortment of artificer equipment which he relied heavily on while fighting. His different weapons and items gave him a lot of versatility during battles.

* **Artificer Armor-** The conductor for his artificer mana, this armor isn't ordinary at all. If equipped with elemental stones, it will allow Modithrimus to summon up to four elemental constructs. This armor was damaged during his tournament but remained functional until Modithrimus' final defeat.
* **Master Axe-** This special axe has the unique ability to channel the power of construct stones. This is an efficient way to save mana as it allows its wielder to use the elemental abilities without actually summoning the constructs. Only downside is that it can begin to overheat if the powers of too many stones are used at once.
* **Construct Stones-** If inserted into an artificer armor, these special stones can be used to summon artificer constructs. They used to belong to his father and brother, but like their armors and weapons, were taken by Lieven after their deaths.

## Weaknesses

* **Mana Meter Drain-** If one of his constructs consumes too much mana, it leaves him tired and in a vulverable state. His mana can always recharge after some time or even with Mana Potions, but if completely drained of mana, he is rendered unable to use any of his more powerful abilities.
	+ **Mythilin-** Mythilin, or more specifically Gold Mythilin, can be used to temporarily render Modithrimus unable to use his artificer magic, and by extension his constructs.
* **Construct Movement Limitation-** When summoning multiple constructs at once they are forced to split their mobility with each other. This can create disadvantages in battle as they have less movement.
* **Body Deterioration-** Modithrimus' body kept deteriorating after it was barely reconstructed by Zashrir. This deterioration kept progressing until his body couldn't take it anymore, permanently ending his life.
* **Voodoo Magic-** After making his deal with the Voodoo Master and having his body reconstructed, Modithrimus was eternally bound to Zashrir's voodoo magic. Zashrir fueled his powers and could hurt him and end his life at will. He could have saved him from his bodily deterioration but decided not to as he deemed Modithrimus a failure.

## Trivia

* Modithrimus is considered a cringe character among the players of the campaign.
