As a young child growing up in the Grassland, Lucretia witnessed the True Fire Rune going out of control. Even as a child, she realized the impact the rune had on people's lives, remembering the charred bodies. It was this incident that gave Lucretia a stand-offish attitude towards [[27 True Runes|True Runes]], regarding them as unnecessary for the workings of a nation. In the past, she was also involved with Harmonia in some fashion, having forged a relationship with [[Cathari]] as well as holding a number of contacts within the superpower. | As a young child growing up in the Grassland, Lucretia witnessed the True Fire Rune going out of control.

She would | She would become a prominent strategist for [[Marscal Godwin]] in the [[Queendom of Falena]], being recruited on a visit he paid to the [[northern continent]]. Initially dismissed as Marscal's mistress, Lucretia's stratagems during the [[Armes Invasion]] led to an abrupt end to criticisms of her talents. However, as she operates with the ideal of minimizing suffering and bringing an end to conflict as swiftly as possible, Lucretia could not follow Marscal's plans, eventually betraying him to work directly under the Royal Family. As such, she advised [[Arshtat Falenas|Queen Arshtat]] to bear the [[Sun Rune]] in SY 447 in order to prevent a [[Godwin Faction|Godwin]] plot to capture the rune from taking place, and thus earning [[Sialeeds]]' everlasting hatred and contempt. Shortly after this, the [[Lordlake Uprising]] occurred and Lucretia was imprisoned, supposedly for questioning Queen Arshtat's retribution on the region but actually in order to prevent the Godwin Faction from assassinating her. | ||
Held in [[Agate Prison]] and under the watchful eyes of prison guards [[Cius]] and [[Lelei]], Lucretia, over time, managed to convince the two that her ideals and goals were correct, especially in comparison to those held by the expansionistic Godwin faction. Also during this time | Held in [[Agate Prison]] and under the watchful eyes of prison guards [[Cius]] and [[Lelei]], Lucretia, over time, managed to convince the two that her ideals and goals were correct, especially in comparison to those held by the expansionistic Godwin faction. Also, during this time Lucretia adopted Lelei as an apprentice of sorts, training in military strategy, a relationship that would continue after her release at the hands of the the [[Hero (Suikoden V)|Prince of Falena]], who needed a tactician. Upon her arrival in [[Rainwall]], Lucretia quickly made steps towards unravelling the [[Barows Faction|Barows family]]'s role in the [[Lordlake]] incident in order to curtail the faction's influence over the Prince. | ||
Following this, she successfully managed to have the army defend itself against both Godwin and [[New Armes Kingdom|Armes]] forces as well as leading the [[Raftfleet]] navy to an unprecedented rout of the [[Falenan Royal Navy]] under [[Bahram Luger]] before revealing the sordid details of the Barows plot to take the [[Dawn Rune]] from the [[East Palace]] two years prior. Following their annulment of the pact with Barows, Lucretia used her knowledge of the region in order to not only destroy [[Hatred Fortress]], securing Lordlake's salvation, but also to secure the fledgling force a new headquarters at [[Ceras Lake]]. | Following this, she successfully managed to have the army defend itself against both Godwin and [[New Armes Kingdom|Armes]] forces as well as leading the [[Raftfleet]] navy to an unprecedented rout of the [[Falenan Royal Navy]] under [[Bahram Luger]] before revealing the sordid details of the Barows plot to take the [[Dawn Rune]] from the [[East Palace]] two years prior.
