So Nero here, he's one of Harvoth's former commanders. He's one of my only human characters too. Nero is however, as you can see very evident, he's undead. He died to the Pestilence invading Eden before Humans escaped to La Thraen. Nero was later revived by Melody, the Goddess of Fate and Foresight. Nero like her, has the ability to control Pestilence but that's thanks to her granting him some power. He serves her and Harvoth currently, but also works side by side with the AA (Assassin's Association). He's extremely powerful compared to the other Human in the AA (i.e. Gilgamesh) and is ranked #3 in the AA only being out-ranked by Prince August and Vesper Kurai respectively. Nero's lance here, while at first glance seems like just a Lance it is also a sheathe for a sword inside the lance. When his lance is no longer usable to his liking he can unsheathe his sword from the lance to use as another weapon. But don't let that fool you, taking away his weapons doesn't mean much. He is a cruel brawler and a deadly magic user.
