Biography

Background

I'm Luc, Lady Leknaat's number one apprentice. —  Luc

Luc is a powerful young mage in service to Leknaat as well as the bearer of the True Wind Rune. He was said to be a very handsome boy when silent but his bitter, prideful attitude and poor character tends to negate that. Luc's past was shrouded in mystery; he was raised by Leknaat in mysterious circumstance following an "incident" at the One Temple in Harmonia and bore a striking resemblance to the Harmonian Bishop Sasarai.

During the Gate Rune War, Luc surprised McDohl and his party, summoning a Golem for the party to fight under the pretext of establishing their identities. After the battle, he would take the group to Leknaat and teleported them back to the shore of Magician's Island after their audience was finished. When the Toran Liberation Army acquired Toran Castle, Luc joined the Toran Liberation Army on the request of Leknaat. Luc stood guard over the Stone Tablet of Promise for the duration of the war and brought his powerful magic to battle.

Following the end of the Gate Rune War, Luc disappeared with Leknaat.

When Leknaat gifted the New State Army the Stone Tablet of Promise during the Dunan Unification War, she also gifted them Luc, despite his own consternation. However, Luc was focused when he noticed the presence of the Harmonian officer Sasarai in a skirmish at Radat Town. Following the battle, he revealed that he knew Sasarai well and told the New State Army to let him deal with him. Using his True Wind Rune, he decimated Sasarai's forces, forcing them to withdraw their support from the war.

Following the war, he considered his role ended and return to Lady Leknaat's service.

Trivia

• In the English-language version of Suikoden, when he summons the Golem, Luc merely calls it forth with a wind rune, but in the Japanese version, he uses the True Wind Rune to do so ("我が真なる風の紋章よ・・・・").
