— Lorenz, on Ludwik

Ludwik (Japanese: ルイ Louis) was the king of Grust during the War of Shadows.

Biography

At the early stage of the War of Shadows, King Ludwik was blackmailed by Gharnef into forming an alliance between Grust and Dolhr as his twin children, Yuliya and Jubelo, were captured and imprisoned in Khadein.[1] As Marth was marching toward Grust in order to make them surrender, King Ludwik fell ill while both General Camus of the Sable Order and General Lorenz took his place as commanders of the Kingdom's army.[2]

  1. ↑ "The late King Grust had two children. Princess Yuliya and Prince Jubelo. They're still young. Maybe thirteen, or fourteen; cute little twins, both of them. In the last war, Gharnef, the Dark Pontifex, kidnapped the twins to blackmail the king. They were taken to Khadein, the city of magic, and locked away in a pitch-black room." — An elderly Grustian, Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
  2. ↑ "However, the current king, Ludwik, was weak-willed and easily cowed: Dolhr had little trouble forcing him into an alliance. Now he had taken ill, even as Grust suffered its string of defeats at the hand of the League. The once mighty kingdom was poised to fall..." — Chapter 20 introduction, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
