Ludveck

"Could our situation be any better? Just look at these fragile defenses... As fragile as the queen's reign!"

- Ludveck says when he was attacking the Fort Alpea.

Ludveck (ルドベック, Rudbeck) was the Duke Felirae. He was the one that started the rebel movement against Queen Elincia in Part 2 of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. He planned to capture the Crimean capital and make himself king of the country.

Ludveck's plot was first uncovered by Brom, Nephenee, and Heather in a small rual village in Crimea. They learned of the plot from the leader of the rebel forces in the area who reffered to Ludveck in their battle cries.

The three then traveled to the Crimean capital to inform the Queen. Queen Elincia then sends them along with Lady Lucia to investigate Ludveck. The group discovered the complete plot and returned to the capital after fighting a small force who tried to captured them.

At the capital Ludveck captures Lucia, as he has infiltrated her spy network. He then proceeds to launch his main attack on the castle where the Queen is. However he was defeated in battle. His remaining rebel forces threatened to kill the captured Lucia if Ludveck was not released. When Elincia headed to the prison to ask Ludveck his motives, he claimed he began his rebellion to "test" Elincia's skill as ruler by seeing if she could stop a civil war, and concluded that he'd make a better ruler. Elincia refuses to release him and tells him that strength without compassion does not make a good ruler. Despite this, Lucia was spared, as the Greil Mercenaries appeared at the last moment and saved her.

Personality
Ludveck is a very arrogent man. Always convinced he couldn't lose, even when he was defeated he still believed himself to be better then the queen and the she would fall to him. After the Crimean rebellion is squashed he is locked up and disappears from the storyline.

Oddly he is very fond of Lady Lucia, which is ironic, because he cut most of her hair, and his plan included killing her.
