Lumen Sages

The clan of light, counterparts of the Umbra Witches.

The Lumen Sages are a clan in the Bayonetta games, followers of light and the counterparts of the Umbra Witches. Together the two clans kept the balance between light and darkness, and each held one of the Eyes of the World made by Aesir.

Lore & Background

A clan war between the Sages and the Witches came before the witch hunt that nearly destroyed the Umbra Witches. In the first game Balder is the last of the Lumen Sages; in Bayonetta 2 a masked Lumen Sage, later revealed as the young Balder, is brought to the present by the Prophet. A union between a Sage and a Witch was forbidden, and Bayonetta is the child of one.
