Last updated 2025-07-17

Bellum is an NPC that appears in Phaethon's Story Chapter 4: Tour de Inferno (A).

Profile

Bellum is an underground fighter in the Outer Ring and the champion of The Vanquishers. He is prideful and belligerent, having declared Lighter his rival after being disrespected by him. Bellum fights with a unique weapon consisting of a "bladegun," flamethrower and shield.

History

Prior to the events of the game, Bellum was a well-known underground fighter, having built up a twenty-win streak. This fame came to an end when he faced Lighter and lost. Angered by the defeat, and feeling disrespected, Bellum dubbed Lighter his rival. He later left the underground fighting scene and joined The Vanquishers.

Under Lucius's orders, Bellum helped The Vanquishers sabotage the Sons of Calydon's data beacons in the Hollow.[2] When the Sons of Calydon arrived to stop them, Bellum faced off against Lighter, hoping to duel him to reclaim his "honor." These hopes were quashed when he was again defeated.

After the fight, Lighter apologized to Bellum for disrespecting him, claiming that he didn't mean anything by it. He recognized the Thiren's strength and offered to duel anytime he'd want. Bellum thanked Lighter for the advice, though he was briefly angered when Lighter forgot his name mid-conversation.
