Zenobia (fully named Zenobia Nebiros Reikaz) is a recurring superboss in Path of Lightning. Created by Hunter to be used in roleplay on the interactive community of Second Life, it was swiftly decided to adapt him to a different medium altogether.

In Path of Lightning
Zenobia appears initially as a random NPC, but soon afterwards is established as a villain. He is found to have some connection with other villains, primarily Omnai and Xeoverium.

Appearance
Zenobia almost always appears as a tall, muscular male with tanned skin. He has stylish red hair, and crimson eyes, which seem to give an eerie glow. He always wears dark cargo pants, military-grade boots and gloves, and a dark hooded cape. Dragon-styled tattoos decorate his arms and torso, with platinum piercings adorning his face. He is never seen wearing a shirt, which shows off his muscular physique.

In reality, Zenobia is a demonic dragon, and the human form is merely a disguise. However, he seems to favour the disguise, remaining in human form at most times.

Personality
In terms of his personality, Zenobia is quite enigmatic. Unlike many villains, he is actually quite polite and pleasant. He prefers to give his potential foes a chance to cease any hostilities, not wanting to cause any unnecessary harm to innocent lives. However, if he is provoked, he will not hesitate to make any enemies' disregard for his warnings deeply regretted.

When dealing with foes, Zenobia's entire personality changes, and he then starts to toy with his opponents' minds. In doing so, he can seem borderline psychotic, which only further adds to the torment he inflicts.

Combat Prowess
If one thing should be made clear, it is that looks can be deceptive. While not appearing very powerful, Zenobia possesses immense physical and magical power, which he will not hesitate to use to his advantage. Owing to his demonic and draconic heritage, he is resistant to almost every form of magic, totally immune to Ground and Shadow magic, and he has the ability to absorb Fire magicks. In conjunction, he wields control over exponentially potent elemental and non/elemental spells.

In spite of his muscular physique, Zenobia is very agile, which aids him well in and out of combat. In combination with his speed, he has a very high physical offensive and defensive power, and is not above using everything in his arsenal to devastate his foes.
