Crepera Lucis Caelum

Crepera Lucis Caelum is a queen of Lucis in the Final Fantasy XV Universe, more commonly known by her Lucii form as the Rogue. She is believed to be the first queen of the Lucis Caelum bloodline, who disliked the watch of the public eye and took to the shadows to enact her rule. She is known to have wielded a shuriken. Her statue form appears in Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, and she makes an extended appearance in the Windows and Royal Editions of Final Fantasy XV where the player can find her monument and fight her as a boss.

Profile
Her human visage unknown even to most of her contemporaries due to her hiding her face, uniquely for a Lucii her entire face is not concealed, her elaborate horned headgear covering the eyes and the nose. The headgear somewhat resembles a dragon, which might be in homage of Bahamut, as most Lucii seem to have elements resembling the Astral as part of their attires. She wears an intricate full body suit of armor with a half-skirt and high heels, and wields a shuriken adorned with wing motifs which she can conjure out of thin air. She is shift and agile, and like the other members of her lineage, able to use magic and warp.

She is among the most mysterious of the rulers of yore, as not much is known about her personality other than that she valued her privacy, and being a focused leader.

Story
Crepera assumed the throne of Lucis at some point during its 2,000 year old history. She spurned the public's eye and stayed in the shadows, yet went down in history as a capable leader who steered Lucis through crisis. After her death her soul joined the Ring of the Lucii, the monarchy's royal heirloom that lets the lineage combine their powers across generations. Her spirit also resides in the colossal statue of her likeness built in the Crown City of Insomnia, where it became part of the Old Wall. The Wall is an ancient defense mechanism for the city that will animate at the behest of the currently-reigning monarch when the city, as well as its Crystal the monarchy is duty-bound to guard, are in danger. Her royal arm, the Star of the Rogue, was entombed in Myrlwood in a remote part of the outlands of Lucis.

When Niflheim Empire invades Lucis, Nyx Ulric activates the Old Wall with the Ring of the Lucii despite not being a member of the royal lineage. Though the Crystal is already stolen, the Old Wall animate to fight the colossal Diamond Weapon wreaking havoc on the city. The Rogue jumps at the arriving Diamond Weapon and threatens it enough it uses its main attack. She also holds up a collapsing cliff after Niflheim's first attack.

Prince Noctis, the last of the Lucian line, embarks on a quest to collect the royal arms of his forebears, and comes upon the Tomb of the Rogue in Myrlwood where he inherits the Star of the Rogue, joining it to his Armiger. The Rogue's spirit is roused by Lady Lunafreya during Leviathan's Revelation to empower Noctis.

After Noctis acquires the Light of Providence after his ten-year slumber inside the Crystal, he returns to the now daemon-infested ruins of Insomnia to fulfil the prophecy of the True King. The Rogue has been enslaved by the Starscourge and is used by Ardyn Izunia as one of the obstacles on Noctis and his retinue's path to the throne room. As Noctis ascends the throne he summons the Lucii who plunge their royal arms into him. As Noctis dies he takes them to the afterlife where the Rogue takes up arms with the Star of the Rogue and joins her fellow kings and queens in cleansing Starscourge from the world. The Ring of the Lucii shatters, releasing the kings and queens from their servitude to the Crystal.

Star of the Rogue
Star of the Rogue is an optional royal arm found at the end Myrlwood in north-west Cleigne. It is a shuriken that can deal multiple hits in rapid succession, either on different targets or on the various body parts of a single large enemy, and can split up into many duplicates. The weapon reflects the stealth ninja-like martial arts of the Rogue.

When Noctis throws the star it permeates enemies and flies in erratic arcs. Unlike most ranged weapons, the Star of the Rogue uses Noctis's Strength stat to calculate damage. It deals more damage the closer the enemy is. Directional input during the attack has Noctis jump in the direction to begin an aerial combo where he throws the star while airborne. Its phase-counter is a melee attack.

Warp-striking has Noctis warp to the enemy and grind it with the shuriken. It hits multiple times and does a lot of damage to both Noctis and the enemy. It is good for breaking off appendages. The warp-strike can miss.

The Star of the Rogue is a good ranged weapon for Strength-based builds.

The Star was available in Platinum Demo – Final Fantasy XV as a secret weapon.

Sigil
In Final Fantasy XV: Comrades, the Rogue's Sigil: Aerial Ace, enables the bearer to perform a mid-air step after attacking.

Boss
She has an extended role in the Windows and Royal Editions of Final Fantasy XV, where she is fought as a boss in the final dungeon.

Etymology
Crepera is the feminine form of the Latin adjective creper, which that means dark, dusky, obscure, doubtful, uncertain, wavering. It refers to both the lineage of Lucian monarchs being associated with darkness and the color black, as well as her secretive nature. All of Lucian nobility have Latin names.
