Destroyers

Further information: Luc (Suikoden) and Yuber

Luc (ルック, Rukku?) is the instigator and leader of his group, sometimes called the Destroyer forces. Luc, like Sasarai, is a clone of the Harmonian leader Hikusaak and has carried the True Wind Rune within him since birth. Luc eventually escapes Harmonia to live with Leknaat and aids in the events of the first two Suikoden games. After seeing a vision of the future in which humanity is wiped out in the struggle between the runes, he decides that fate is currently fixed. To break this fate, he must sufficiently disrupt the order created by the 27 True Runes; his plan is to destroy his own True Wind Rune. To do so, he will need the combined powers of many True Runes, and seeks to gather the other Elemental Runes from the Grassland region. With Albert's help, he returns to Harmonia and becomes a bishop and then stirs up trouble as the Masked Bishop, seeking to use the Harmonian army to flush the Runes out and capture them. To Harmonia, this will seem to be a simple attempt to gather the True Runes for Hikusaak; only the other Destroyers know that he wants them for himself to enact his plan.

Sarah (セラ, Sera?) was born in Harmonia with great inherent magical powers that caused her to be seen as a witch. She was raised in a shrine, but later was rescued by Luc as a child and has lived with him at Leknaat's tower for most of her life. She is in love with him and intends to stick with him to the end; however, she wishes to aid Luc's plan in such a way as to cause the fewest deaths possible. To that end, she seeks to reduce the death toll by such measures as warning Karaya Village that they will be attacked soon and to leave. Sarah teleports the Destroyers about, casts illusions to help start the war (for instance, at the Great Hollow to make it seem as if Chris attacked), sets up the anger-increasing field at Karaya village, and summons large amounts of monsters to act as an army (sometimes cloaking them as Harmonian soldiers).

In contrast, Yuber has no particular affection for any of the other characters. However, he knows that Luc's plan will require a lot of killing, something that Yuber enjoys, and decides to aid in the carnage. Yuber acts as the muscle of the Destroyers, fighting the other Stars of Destiny multiple times.

Albert Silverberg (アルベルト・シルバーバーグ, Aruberuto Shirubābāgu?) is the main strategist for the Destroyer forces, and Caesar's older brother (24 years old compared to Caesar's 16). Additionally, he manages the political aspects for the Destroyers. Albert is seeking power in the Harmonian bureaucracy, and believes that aiding Luc's plan will help him in this. How, exactly, is never made clear; presumably the destruction of the True Wind Rune and the Grasslands would wipe out various other contenders for power such as Sasarai and Dios, or perhaps Albert intended to spin the situation such that he was the hero. This plan is also a chancy one at best, as no one is sure of the true effect of destroying a Rune; Harmonia itself may well have been destroyed as well, or perhaps even the entire world.

Famous quotes containing the word destroyers:

    Armies, though always the supporters and tools of absolute power for the time being, are always the destroyers of it too; by frequently changing the hands in which they think proper to lodge it.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
