Charged with rescuing his fellow Cryosi from the Darkspore, Lumin valiantly threw himself into every mission of mercy, whatever the danger, and whatever the plan. He risked himself to rescue trapped miners, lost expeditions, wounded diplomats, and imperiled larvae of the next generation.

But no matter his heroism, Lumin still lost too many innocents to the horrors of combat, and too many victims to the monstrous deformities that Darkspore mutations produced. And every time, Lumin had no choice but to terminate the genetically-doomed before they could slaughter their fellow Cryosi.

By the time Crogenitor Ptyron found him, Lumin had gone mad.

Knowing that Lumin’s only hope to regain his sanity was a return to saving his people, Ptyron transformed him into a superior entity. Surging with power he’d never dreamt could exist, Lumin became lightning personified, able to command ionic death from his staff, to summon bolts of electrical punishment from the sky, and to electrocute whole squadrons of his enemies as if they were connected by a cable of destruction.
