Madronius
Region	Antiqua
Location	Horace's Camp
Role	Alchemist

Madronius is an alchemist met in Antiqua. He is Horace Highwater's best friend and aide.

Story

After Horace and his other allies dug pits around the ruins in Antiqua to keep agents of the ruler of Nobilia from stealing from them, Madronius developed a special alchemy formula, Revealer, to allow people to see hidden paths over the pits.

When the Hero came to Horace's Camp seeking the Diamond Eyes, Horace entrusted him to find them and authorized Madronius to teach him Revealer so he could enter the Great Pyramid and the Hall of Collosia. Madronius also informed the hero of his brother in the Hall of Collosia that would also help him.

After the destruction of Aegis, Madronius came to Nobilia to inform Horace that the Energy Core had impacted north of the camp, opening a new passage at the base of the waterfall.

In the ending, Madronius and Horace are in Nobilia attempting to keep order as Evermore is wracked with earthquakes. The hero comes to get Horace to leave. Horace and Madronius say their goodbyes, and Madronius says it has been an honor to know him. During the credits, Madronius is seen as the new leader of Nobilia.
