Voluptua was a master con artist who convinced King Midas to open a gambling palace called the Golden Touch. She and her partner, Segallus, came to have a very strong hold over Midas. They plotted to kill the king so that Segallus could marry Princess Flaxen and become ruler of Midasius. After witnessing an act of heroism by Hercules, Volutptua offered him a large sum to become one of the entertainers at the Golden Touch. Hercules refused and managed to thwart her plans to rule Midasius. The Golden Touch was closed and Midas put Voluptua and Segallus to work ploughing the fields of Midasius.
