Queen Nakhta

Queen Nakhta de Renaud (usually known as simply Queen Nakhta) the Queen of Canidia and is one of the secondary antagonists in Lance of Truth. She is frequently an enemy of the Keepers of the Lance and an ally of Baron Hellson, though at times she was known to aid the Keepers when Hellson's interests clashed with those of her kingdom.

Nakhta's first appearance was in season one, as one of the hooded figures who engineered the demise of Sir Fulvius, the last Knight Lancer. When the Keepers of the Lance past through Canidia, she offers them aid, but sends them into an ambush. The season one finale sees her treachery exposed. In season two, she goes to war at Hellson's behest against Felidica in the War of the Beasts. Her Dread Dogs are ultimately beaten back when Griffin takes up the Lance of Truth and rallies the Felix Legions. Nakhta is not among Hellson's followers who escape to the Hidden Realm following their defeat.

When Sir Griffin and the Keepers return in season four, they find Nakhta rebuilt her armies and conquered much of Felidica. She pressed many prisoners of war, including Sir Aelius, into forced labor, demolishing Castle Leon and mining its foundations in search of a legendary gemstone. She successfully uncovers the Lion's Eye Ruby and entrusts it to her sister Princess Bilba. When Aelius sparks a revolt, Nakhta tries to flee Felidica, but Hellson strikes a deal with Bilba, leaves with the stone, and leaves Nakhta to her fate.

In the beginning of season five, Nakhta goes to the Keepers with dire news: Hellson has wedded Bilba and plots another invasion of Felidica. Sir Marcus and Lady Livia are skeptical of her claims, but Sir Griffin trusts her word and promises to stop them. After Bilba is defeated and Hellson flees, Nakhta is re-crowned Queen and signs a peace treaty with Felidica.

In season six, Nakhta hosts the meeting of rulers when word arrives that Hellson has gathered an infernal army in the World Between Worlds. She leads the Dread Dogs into the portal during the final invasion, and perishes in the fighting against Kor'gaash the Wicked. Her sacrifice buys enough time for the Keepers to defeat Hellson and close the portal, saving the world once and for all.
