Biography[]

History[]

Lucrecia and her sister Marona were born in Grulovia. She was married to a man named Gelsin Mux while her sister was married to a man named Lazarus Aquato. After her husband died in the war, Lucretia fled the country. After this, Lucretia met Otto Mentallis and used her hydrokinesis to help him with his research. Otto introduced Lucretia to Ford Cruller, and they fell in love. After that, she met the other members of what would become the psychic six and her friends. She and the Psychic 6 then the Psychic 7 experimented with their psychic powers and on themselves using the Astralathe, unfortunately the experiments had unforeseen negative effects on Lucrecia's mental well-being.

One day another war broke out in Grulovia and Lucrecia rushed to help protect the country and her sister Marona against the wishes of her boyfriend, Ford. With her hydrokinesis, Lucretia was able to defend her country from the invaders and The Gzar of Grulovia made her Minister of War. However, something went wrong with Lucrecia and the letter she sent back to her friend began to get darker and starts worrying him.

Once the war was over, the citizens of Grulovia started to protest the rule of the Gzar who ordered Lucrecia to suppress the peaceful protests. This caused the people of Grulovia to hate Lucretia and they gave her the nickname, Maligula. One day, during a protest, the Gzar ordered Maligula to make it rain on the protesters in order to get them to disperse. However, the heavy rain she caused broke a nearby dam that flooded the town they were in, among the casualties was Marona. Realizing she caused the death of her own sister, she snapped and the aggressive fighter part of her brain that usually would be a normal part of the fight or flight response, merged with her Maligula persona and gained control over Lucrecia's body while Lucrecia was pushed back into her mind.     

After this, the Psychic Six were called in to defeat Maligula, but knowing this was their friend, they came with the objective of saving her and calm her down. During the fight, they tried to talk to her which worked for a moment, but ultimately Maligula stayed in control. After the loss of Helmut Fullbear, the Psychic Six managed to knock Maligula unconscious before Ford took her back to their HQ where he used the Astralathe to imprison Maligula deep in Lucrecia's mind and rewrote part of her memories to make her think that she was always with the Aquato family circus and rewrote the memories of Augustus, the son of the late Marona, to make him think that Lucrecia was always his mother, and she was made to believe he was her son.        

As the years passed and Lucrecia grew older, she sometimes sensed that something was wrong and was feeling unhappy without knowing why. One day, she became lucid enough to take action. She gave her grandson, Razputin, a pamphlet for Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp so that he could become a Psychonaut and could help her. After this, Lucrecia forgot what she did and reverted to her normal personality. After this, Razputin ran away from the circus and headed to Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp.

Psychonauts 2[]

Lucrecia traveled with the Aquato family to visit Razputin in the Motherlobe, the headquarters of the Psychonauts, where Raz now worked as an intern. During her time there, Raz learned about her past and that being, and that her memories were returning by being near her old HQ. Raz gathered the old members of the Psychic Six in order to banish Maligula forever via astral projection. However, Gristol Malik disguised as Truman Zanotto interrupted the process, making it fail and allowing Maligula to be freed again. The first thing Maligula tried to do upon release was drowning everyone around her before creating a massive storm and tornado of water. With the help of his family, Raz managed to get inside Maligula's mind and tried to talk her out of being evil, an attempt at which she laughed at, refuse to listen to reason. Raz ended up needed to fight Maligula with the help of the other interns, he was able to do this and managed to free Lucrecia who was trapped inside Maligula. With the power of Lucrecia, Raz was able to match Maligula in strength and banished her to the deepest part of Lucrecia's brain, where she belongs.

After the battle was over, Lucrecia was unconscious and exhausted from the battle. Her adopted son Augustus carried her to safety, the Psychonauts agreed to keep Maligula's/Lucrecia's survival a secret, and she returned to stay with her long lost lover Ford Cruller.
