- Lavenza Volt

Doctor Lavenza Volt is an antagonist in Team FLME who is also deemed Onyx's top lieutenant and first official member of the Lower Cabal. He is known to be the apprentice of Dr. Watts and a subordinate of Salem as well. Volt is also a genetics scientist and likes to experiment on Grimm and Humans. His weapon of choice is a pistol which holds a bayonet he uses like a sword called Prometheus.

Early Years
Volt was born in the Kingdom of Mistral within the small village of Furno Village in the Southern Sol Mountains around the coast of Anima. However, sometime in his life, he moved to the Kingdom of Atlas and became intrigued with genetics. He soon earned a doctrine degree in the field and later met Dr. Watts. The two formed a stable friendship with each other. Lavenza also met a woman whom he would marry.

Volt also attended a combat school where he would be heavily trained in forms of combat to do field work and be secured with his team.

Volt soon gained a mass amount of power and wealth within Atlas but felt empty in his efforts to achieve greatness. He and his wife then moved back to Furno Village where Volt continued his research. Some point he was called to Watts' lab for a meeting with him. When Volt arrived he met Onyx and Salem for the first time. Though he was confused he agreed to join Onyx and thus his mind was twisted with the knowledge of Grimm and the world.

Formation
Lavenza joined the Lower Cabal with Onyx and together went around Remnant to recruit others to their cause. Onyx and Volt then travelled to the Kingdom of Vale and recruited a general by the name of Shadow Ombre. When Tyrian was recruited by Salem to join her, Onyx also recruited Tyrian's nephew, Damson Shade whom was proven to be a master assassin and loyal to Onyx within moments.

Volt was then tasked with genetic experiments on Grimm and captured Humans in order to create new Grimm. Volt was able to create a Grimm which he dubbed the Seer and used it to gather information around the world in order to advance Salem and Onyx's plans. Volt was then tasked with eliminating his current wife as she was viewed as a distraction which Lavenza did so swiftly and painlessly.

Lavenza then proceeded in his work to create new Grimm. At some point, he was order and began work on a project entitled "Predator".

Meeting with the Lower Cabal
Following the Fall of Beacon, Roz and Shadow retuned to Salem's Domain to report to Onyx about the battle and the failure to kill Isaac and Frederic Scorch. Prior to the meeting, she introduced Lavender to the realm and let her witness the birth and taming of Grimm but Volt and Ombre's forces. While their, she was scolded by Lavenza who claimed that she should have died at Beacon due to failure to kill Isaac. Damson then joins stating that she should hunt Isaac down a rip out his heart for destroying her's. Ombre then joins in stating that it was shameful that she lost to Isaac.

However, prior to her backlash towards the three, she is interrupted by Onyx entering the room and silencing Lavenza's unneeded "belittlement" of Roz. Despite her failing to kill Isaac, she is hailed by Onyx for her efforts in Vale and the role she played in having Taurus' allegiance to Salem. However, due to her defeat by Isaac, she is instructed to remain with Onyx to continue her training to hopefully kill Isaac and later Frederic. This leads Lavender to take over for Roz and Damson to now hunt down Frederic and kill him.

Project Predator
Lavenza and Damson also lead an attack on Furno Village with Ombre's troops in hopes of collecting test subjects for Volt's experiments. Volt and his troops marched through the main passageway and killed the guards overlooking the path. When the army arrived at the village, Lavenza said no words with his troops looking and standing at the ready. When Volt was question by Azula's father, Lavenza simply raised a hand and the attack began.

Damson and the troops charged in attacking all in their path. Lavenza then began to walk through the town and soon released Grimm into the town to finish off the civilians. Volt then looks at several victims of Grimm attacks with a smile and continues onward. He then opened fire on some guards charging at him. He then used his bayonet to cut down and finish off the remaining guards with his troops. Lavenza then grabbed the last guard by his neck and asked "Do you feel, fear?". The guard answered yes and Lavenza snapped his neck. He then had Damson round up survivors for his project and all were brought to Salem's domain for Volt's experiments.

Personality
Lavenza Volt is a cunning, cruel and calculating mad man. He is formal and speaks in a refined accent. However, he is also arrogant and condescending, even to his allies. Volt has a very low opinion of failure and as such, berates those who do fail, allies or opponents. He is very persuasive and is easily able to gain allies and people's trust as such when the fooled all of Furno Village in believing him to be an ally given his position in the Lower Cabal. He was also able to manipulate Ombre into berating Roz Quarzo due to her inability to kill Isaac Scorch.

He does however, speak to those he views as allies in a polite posh manner as he does so with Shadow Ombre. Though this could be because that the two have been apart of the Cabal the longest. He does seem to look down upon people he views as lesser than he, giving him the appearance as an arrogant and self-entiltied fool. However, Volt has no respect for those who are entitled and wishes to snuff out their kind, showing he believes in good discipline.

Lavenza is also one to show that he is a ruthless and manacle killer as he casually walks through a battlefield and takes enjoyment in seeing innocents being mauled by Grimm and killed by his troops. He is also one to show loyalty as he avoids speaking out of line in Onyx's presence.

Weapon
Lavenza Volt's weapon of choice is a pistol that can use an attachable bayonet that can also be used as a throwing knife called Prometheus. The pistol is able to completely kill a fully armored solider in a single shot and can blow the head clean off a Grimm in a single shot as well. It is able to also have a bayonet that can piece armor from Atlas military and can also swiftly deal with foes in the field as a sword. The bayonet can also be pulled off to be used as a throwing knife. Though it is rare for when Lavenza actually uses the knife portion.

Fighting Style

He is also surpassingly strong despite his image as he can break necks with a single hand and throw people through buildings with relative ease.

He also has great aim, able to hit targets without even looking at them. He also displays a great deal of swordsmanship, allowing him to take on several different foes at once and make them into easy foes or corpses on the ground.
