Regis Lucis Caelum

a character from a game

Regis Lucis Caelum CXIII is a character from Final Fantasy XV and the father of Noctis Lucis Caelum. He is the 113th king of the royal family of Lucis, the last kingdom to control a crystal.

Personality
As a member of the Caelum family, Regis believes that being of the royal bloodline makes one strong of heart and will. As shown in the E3 2013 trailer, Regis can also be a laid back person as he ate green soup and showed his green tongue to make his son laugh while he was a child. In the newest trailer taking fifteen years before the game's events, though knowing he needed to prepare Noctis once he comes of age, Regis expresses a profound sadness for the fate his son must endure.

Story
In the trailer revealed at the "Square Enix 1st Production Department Premiere" in January 2011, Regis is sitting on his throne, pondering and talking to himself. He is also seen facing off against a mysterious white-robed man. Regis wields a falchion with an engine attached to its hilt and has the power to manipulate weapons; they all point menacingly towards the robed man opposing him.

Niflheim's army seeks to conquer Lucis, take its crystal, and end the reign of the Caelum family. As revealed in a secret trailer in the Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae demo and the Jump Festa 2014 trailer, Regis is said to have died, though his actual status is unknown.

Creation and Development
Regis went through a redesigned since he was first unveiled for Final Fantasy Versus XIII. He has been made older, with graying shaggier hair and a beard, as opposed to his more refined look in earlier material.

Etymology
Regis Lucis Caelum is a Latin phrase that may mean "Sky of the King's Light" or "Sky of the Light's King". Regis and Noctis's naming follows thus a similar theme pertaining light and sky.

Trivia

 * A point of clarification concerns a sequence where Regis is seated on his throne early in a trailer (before the gameplay begins) and says something along the lines of "You're not fit to be king". While many assumed this statement was directed at Noctis, it is actually directed at someone else.
 * Regis's powers are similar to those of Noctis in the first few trailers of Final Fantasy XV.
