BIOGRAPHY


Lucretia Merces originally came from Karaya. As a girl, her first memory was that of the Flame Champion unleashing the power of the True Fire Rune that burned for several days and nights.

She went to Harmonia and was taught military strategy. Following this, she came to the Queendom of Falena, where she became the tactician for Marscal Godwin. When the Dawn Rune was stolen, Lucretia broke her alliance to inform the queen, Arshtat Falenas to bear the Sun Rune and protect it from the Godwins. Because of this, the queen's younger sister, Sialeeds , does not like Lucretia.

Because of her betrayal, Lord Godwin sought to exceute Lucretia, but the Queen imprisoned her to protect her. During this time, she became close friends with two guards, Cius and Lelei , taking them as students. She predicted that either Lord Godwin would find her and exceute her, or that Lord Barows would come seeking her help. Instead, the Prince Of Falena comes. She knows the Prince came to ask for her services, but she informs him beforehand about what went on between her and Arshtat . If, at any time, Lucretia believes the Prince is doing the wrong thing, she will betray him. He still accepts her services.

Lucretia's first plan destroys Lord Barows's plan with Armes. During the course of the game, Lucretia plans meticulous strategies to liberate the disenfranchised people of Falena, while at the same time, promoting the Prince's image as a tolerant and good figure. She does this by making the conscripted and scared guards of Hatred Fortress abandon their posts before she destroys it.

Lucretia plans for everything, and is always one step ahead of the Godwins. The Godwins predict, after the Prince abandons Sindar Castle, he'll go to Raftfleet, but Lucretia sends a double there instead.

During the siege of Sol-Falena, Lucretia talks to the dying Sialeeds. Despite the fact that the two women were at odds with just about everything, they both respect each other, and both believe the Prince is a wonderful young man.

After the war, Lucretia vanishes unbeknowst to everyone.
