Radium Lavans

Following an initial test run of the frame, Radium is almost killed due to the massive power output from the Metatron used in the frame’s body, power train and main systems. However, he manages to get to grips with the frame’s controls and displays an unbelievable level of skill in running Idolo.

When Viola is given a test run in Idolo, it becomes clear that Metatron is much more powerful than had previously been thought and the frame has established some kind of connection with Radium. Idolo has a strange effect on him as the more he runs the frame, the more insane he appears to get.

After a UNSF team manages to infiltrate the BAHRAM testing base and take several hostages, including Radium’s lover—Dolores Hayes—Radium boards Idolo in order to rescue them. However, Dolores tragically dies in his arms in the cockpit. Refusing to believe his lover is dead, Radium suffers from hallucinations while under fire from BAHRAM LEVs ordered to destroy the frame to stop the technology falling into Earth’s hands. It is during this attack that Radium dies when the frame is destroyed.

In truth, Napth is in fact Radium Lavans, the pilot of the first Orbital frame, and the fiancée of Dolores Hayes. After the Deimos incident, he was resurrected and rebuilt into a cyborg by BAHRAM.
