Lifeforce offered Briggen a luxurious and free life in exchange for betraying his friends, and Briggen accepted.{{book ref|lux|22}} Lifeforce laid a trap for the Reckoners. Languish dampened Jax’s mitosis motivator, rendering the assassination attempt futile. When Ravens came in and surrounded them, Jax wanted to duel Briggen, but Lifeforce offered himself up instead. Lifeforce ordered Languish to stop dampening the mitosis motivator, making the stakes real. Jax was winning at first, but the mitosis motivator overheated and broke. Lifeforce used the stolen Epic power of Shiversting to shatter Jax’s sword, defeating him.{{book ref|lux|22}} The Reckoners surrendered, and Lifeforce tried unsuccessfully to get Jax to join him as one of his scientific assistants. Lifeforce locked the Reckoners in the tubes underneath his palace, and killed [[Abigail Casey|Abigail]] by shooting himself in the head.{{Book ref|lux|23}}

Lifeforce was furious when Languish was kidnapped by the Reckoners, and summoned Briggen to see him. He took Briggen to the Chrysalis Hollows, where he injected Briggen with a special serum. Like all the other test subjects, Briggen went insane and died after a few minutes, leaving Lifeforce dissapointeddisappointed.{{book ref|lux|32}} Lifeforce was angry with Languish for his apparent betraylbetrayel, and used a knife to engrave a message into Languish’s arm, calling him a traitor. He was irate as his Ravens continued to it be able to find him.{{book ref|lux|40}} When Languish fought against and dampened Wingflare, Lifeforce hurried to his lab and began working quickly.

In the middle of one of his regular trips to visit and taunt [[Vera]] in her prison, Cloudbreaker began pestering Lifeforce, asking him for him to meet with her.{{book ref|lux|44}} He eventually did, meeting her in her bunker. She challenged his authority and capability as the city’s leader, and saying that she should be in charge now. She summoned the frost, a cataclysmic weather event that would freeze the entire city. Lifeforce told her to stop, and when she didn’t he withdrew his healing powers from her. She died of an old wound,{{book ref|lux|49}} and Lifeforce rushed back to his lab to inject himself with her DNA. He did so sucesfullysuccesfully, but wielding both Wingflare’s and Cloudbreaker’s powers was too much for him. He lost control, and Deathrise used Cloudbreaker’s powers to accelerate the frost furthurfurther.{{book ref|lux|51}}
