My friend actually reached out to Red Republic Games, and he said Noxius does count as a member of any ludus and can use their benefits.
Hmmm. Just to expand/clarify on that one. Noxius allows you to use Ludus benefits, he himself doesn't actually qualify to use any benefits that are Ludus specific.
Under Expendable (Noxius card ability):
"This model may count as a member of any Ludus when determining whether your cohort qualifies for Ludus benefits."It specifically says that it is only during that determination that he counts as a member of a Ludus, not at any other point in a match.
So, if you were to have a cohort made up of say Bjarrhvit, Sven, Aemilia, and Noxius that cohort would qualify to have access to the Zephyri benefits as Bjarrhvit, Sven, and Noxius (3 out of 4) would count as Zephyri for that purpose. However, all of the Zephyri benefits specify that they can only be applied to Zephyri gladiators so really only Bjarrhvit and Sven could use them as they are the only Zephyri in your cohort.
RRG_walker explains that in this thread in the answer to question 4:
viewtopic.php?t=33917If you were to use Noxius as part of a Morituri cohort (made up say Zahra, Mago, Noxius, and Lupa), he would be able to use the Morituri Benefits "Will of Antony" and "Offering" since those benefits apply to any friendly model and not necessarily a Morituri.
RRG_walker goes through that example here:
