History
"You've been fighting the Vermilion Axe for a while now, right!? Amaaaazing!!"

- Laskaris Liuis Laskaris Liuis served as a captain of the 2nd Branch of the Holy Imperial Army, stationed at Achlites. Descendant of the prodigious Liuis family, he was an expert archer, said to be at least the second best marksman in all of Ionia, behind possibly only his mother.

Hearing of the hero's exploits against the Vermilion Axe, Laskaris held him in high regard even before meeting him in Achlites. As the two were similar in age, the hero's deeds both amazed and inspired Laskaris, while also occasionally making for unflattering comparisons from his colleagues.

His childhood friend, Ristil, felt that Laskaris' modest nature was unbecoming of someone as skilled as he was and unnecessarily limited his potential. Quinelia, meanwhile, considered him a fine son, but overly bashful and lacking in boldness and drive. The hero, however, reckoned that Laskaris' unassuming personality was his own form of assertiveness.

As the Vermilion Axe bore down on the Great Wall of Achlites, Captain Laskaris' group was set upon by a pack of Teras Pharma, only to be rescued by the hero's company, impressing him even further. Following the battle, Laskaris petitioned to join the company with his mother's blessing, who hoped that the experience would help forge him into a fine young man like the hero.

As a member of the company, he would discuss archery with both Luseri and Bhutruga, where it was revealed that he had an almost instinctive approach to archery, making it difficult for him to relay advice to others. He did his best to eat vegetable dishes when presented to him, despite his distaste for them, and overall felt that the cooking there was better than his mother's.

Laskaris was able to learn from his Liuis ancestors thanks to the power of the Era Trees. He would meet Yaguas Liuis some 100 years ago, the two's enthusiasm sparking well. Helping Numa some 200 years ago also allowed him to learn Moslomas Liuis' archery skill from his ancestral bow in Achlites.

Following the fall of the barrier, Laskaris would assist his mother, who served as one of the heads of the Ionian provisional government, helping to organize and sortie the various migrant caravans. At some point, it would seem he would marry his life-long friend, Ristil.
