Lucio Cortes exists solely as an anime-original character, visually defined by black armor and a silver helmet adorned with curled horns. His warlike, ruthless personality operates through a realist lens devoid of morality or ethics, compelling him to annihilate opponents rather than simply defeat them. Subordinates exhibit fervent adoration and fascination toward him, yet he trusts no one beyond himself. A distinct psychological trait emerges as he experiences distorted admiration when observing individuals confront death, particularly during their final stands. Family serves as the core motivation driving his actions, profoundly warping his life's trajectory. Within the narrative, he commands an army of super-powered soldiers to invade and obliterate Saikai village during Japan's Warring States Period, posing a foreign threat. In combat, he demonstrates overwhelming superiority against Magoichi until an intervenor confronts him.
