Lon'qu

"Let's just say that ladies tend to put Lon'qu on edge."

- Basilio talking about Lon'qu in Chapter 4.

Lon'qu (ロンクー Ronkū, Ronkuu in the Japanese version) is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Awakening.

According to the official Japanese website, he is voiced by Takehito Koyasu.. In the English version he is voiced by Travis Willingham.

Profile
Lon'qu hails from the Regna Ferox, but was born in Chon'sin. He has a cool personality, but is bad with women. He is very skilled with the sword, even impressing Basilio. For years Lon'qu was Basilio's champion until he loses confidence in himself and his title after losing to "Marth" at Arena Ferox. Afterwards, he is hired by Chrom to be Lissa's bodyguard. His supports reveal that he was once a poor man living in the slums, and that his first friend was a young girl his age named Ke'ri. However, Ke'ri was killed by bandits, and he developed gynophobia because of his inability to do anything to help her, always believing that any woman who gets close to him is bound to be killed. During his support conversation with Sully, when asked about his gynophobia during battle, he explains that he manages to ignore it when placed in a life-or-death situation. He is the best at peeling potatoes. His birthday is October 10th.
