Introduction

Luc is a minor

character in both

Suikoden I and Suikoden

II, as well as the main

antagonist of Suikoden

III. A powerful magician

in service of the Lady

Leknaat, Luc bears the

True Wind Rune and

becomes increasingly

troubled by 'fate' as the

series continues.

Biography

Servant of Leknaat

One of the two clones of

Hikusaak, Luc's sole

purpose was to carry a

True Rune as a witless

vessel. However he was

taken by the seer,

Leknaat, to Magician's

Island, where she raised

him as her own and

taught him rune magic

and sorcery. Luc was a

rather arrogant and cold

child and preferred to

keep to himself and thus

despised it when Leknaat

sent him to fight beside

Tir McDohl in the Toran

Liberation War. Once the

war ended, Luc returned

to Leknaat's service only

to be ordered to

participate in another

war three years later.

However this time his

role was not so

uneventful; he

confronted his twin,

Sasarai, and unleashed a

powerful True Wind spell

upon him and the

Harmonian troops

accompanying him. Luc's

actions forced Sasarai to

flee to Harmonia, thus

fulfilling a "promise" he

had made. Again, at the

war's end, Luc returned

to Leknaat's service.

A Desolate Future

Haunted by visions his

True Wind Rune showed

him of an empty, lifeless

future, Luc was driven to

betray Leknaat to pursue

his own interests, as he

wanted to stop this

horrible future he had

seen from occurring.

Wearing a mask to hide

his identity, he was

accepted as a Bishop in

Harmonia surprisingly

quickly at Hikusaak's

word. From there, Luc

and three others, Albert

Silverberg, Sarah and

Yuber, set to work to

change the future. Luc's

aim was to destroy his

own True Rune, and

himself with it, not

caring about the

consequences as

ultimately it would mean

the freedom of the

human race. To do this

he would need the power

of the other elemental

True Runes.

The Instigator of War

He reignited the war

between the Grassland

and Zexen by ordering

Yuber to murder the

Lizard Clan chief, Zepon

and, using Sarah's power

as well as his own, he

created illusions of Zexen

Knights at the Great

Hollow on the day of the

treaty signing between

the two nations, forcing

the Grasslanders to

believe that the Zexens

had thwarted the peace

treaty. The Zexens,

unaware of this, believed

they had been stabbed in

the back and ambushed.

Several attempts to

gather the Runes were

unsuccessful for Luc, such

as when he attempted to

acquire the True Water

Rune at Alma Kinan and

the True Fire Rune at the

Flame Champion's

Hideaway . Without the

help of a second rune, he

recognized that he would

be unable to take any

other True Runes.

Therefore, Luc resorted

to his final option,

capturing the True Earth

Rune of his twin brother,

Sasarai, a bishop of

Harmonia. After telling

Sasarai the cold truth

about their creation, he

managed to steal

Sasarai's rune from him

by using a Sindar

technique. After these

actions, Luc was expelled

from the Temple as a

bishop.

Aware of Luc's plot by

now, Harmonia, Zexen

and Grassland united in

order to stop him.

Lacking the military

support that he had

enjoyed as bishop, Luc,

along with Sarah and

Yuber, was forced to use

a summoning ability to

call forth illusions to

fight for them, a

technique Luc learned

from Leknaat. With the

True Earth Rune in his

possession, Luc's goal of

gathering other True

Runes was attainable.

Conclusion

Luc managed to gather

all five True Elemental

Runes and went to the

Ceremonial Site, a ruin

left by the Sindar. He

was prepared to destroy

himself, but the Fire

Bringer managed to

vanquish his army of

illusions and stormed the

site, taking back their

True Runes. As his final

option, Luc tried to

explain to the Flame

Champion his motives

and the visions of the

future his rune had

shown him. The Flame

Champion refused to

believe Luc's explanation

and insisted on

destroying him.

Frustrated, Luc called

forth the power of his

True Rune and morphed

into the rune incarnate,

but his attempt was in

vain. He was defeated

and left to die as the

building crumbled around

him, with Sarah ever

loyally by his side.
