Ludger Will Kresnik

==Summary==
Ludger Will Kresnik, or Ludger Kresnik in the English version of the game, is the main protagonist in Tales of Xillia 2. During his first day of work, he meets a mysterious girl named Elle Marta in the train where he is supposed to work. Ludger is the son of Bisley Bakur and Claudia Kresnik. When Claudia was pregnant with Ludger, the ultrasonography revealed that Ludger would be born with the Chromatus watch. Fearing that Bisley would use Ludger for his ability, Claudia secretly gave birth with the help of her father, Marvin, and went into hiding. When Ludger was five-years-old, his half-brother, Julius Kresnik found Claudia by chance. Claudia mistook Julius as Bisley's subordinate and attacked him in an attempt to protect her son, but was killed instead. Ludger, shocked after witnessing his mother's death, lost part of his memory. After knowing Bisley's plan, Julius took Ludger with him to Marvin, who adopted the two and altered the family registry to hide Ludger's existence from Bisley.
