Loptous (character)

"Urrgghh... Take note, Celice! While greed exist in men's hearts...I will return!...You've been warned! Gaaahhh..."

- Loptous speaking through a dying Yurius.

Loptous (also known as Loputousu in the game) is a major antagonist in Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu.

As member of the Earth Dragon tribe, Loptous fought in the war with Naga and the Divine Dragons. During the war, he was approached by the bishop Galle and made a blood pact with him, granting the bishop great power in return for possession of his body and the bodies of his descendants through the tome named after him.

Loptous/Galle later returned to Galle's homeland of Jugdral, using that power to create the Lopto Empire. Loptous would rule the empire for years through Galle's descendants until the empire was overthrown by the Twelve Crusaders.

Despite this, many people still worshiped Loptous many years later, these people forming the Lopto Sect. Manfroy, leader of the sect, manipulated events so that Prince Yurius would be born with full Lopto blood, allowing Loptous to possess him.

Ultimately, however, Loptous/Yurius was slain by Celice and Yuria, who wielded the Naga tome, before he could revive the Lopto Empire.

Etymology
"Lopt" was an alternative name for Loki in Norse mythology. During Seisen no Keifu's development, Loptous was originally going to be named Loki.
