Lefance is a posthumous character in Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys.
==Appearance==
He has short brown hair and eyes, dresses in green clothes overlaid with silver armor and a purple scarf.
==Personality==
Lefance is a rather ambitious, calm, intelligent, and caring man, desiring to protect his homeland from the power that was sealed within it even as a spirit. He is also rather trusting, believing that Adol would be able to accomplish that feat and entrusting him with the wand, as well as even bestowing his righteousness onto him so that he could become stronger.
==Skills and Abilities==
In flashbacks, he was shown wielding a sword when he engaged Arem in battle. He was also capable of leading his five disciples from his uprising against Arem to the rest of his life of a king.
==Biography==
In the past, fate brought Lefance and five disciples to challenge Arem’s reign of terror. After overcoming Arem’s forces, Lefance and his disciples engaged and defeated Arem himself in combat. Following Arem’s downfall, Lefance founded the Celceta Dynasty with his five disciples by his side. The newly crowned king took a ferry to Eldeen where he gained the Mask of the Sun.
He used the mask to build a great citadel over the night with the mask enshrined at the center in the Temple of the sun. A twin was created to control the power of the mask, the Mask of the Moon. The two masks‘ blessings led to the prosperity where humans and Eldeen worked side by side.  After he and his disciples passed away, the Mask of the Sun’s power was handed down to their descendants.
Following the events at the Storm Sanctuary, Mayor Melchia tells Adol that he is being guided by an unseen force he calls the light of hope.
After passing the disciples’ tests, Adol finds the villagers of Serene, who were able to hide from the Clan of Darkness in a sanctuary made for Lefance's tomb. Origa, the village leader, informs Adol that the tomb is in the inner chambers of the sanctuary made for it. Once there, Adol is greeted by the spirit of Lefance.
Lefance informs Adol that he is the protector of Celceta and its greatest power. Adol learns from him that he stands deep within El Doran, the ancient capital of Celceta and the Mask of the Sun is sealed within. He explains to Adol that the Clan of Darkness does not understand its fearsome power and seeks to break the seal of the Mask of the Sun. The power that sank Eldeen is concealed within the great woodland. If Eldeel acquired it, the land of Celceta will be cinder and ash, he gives Adol the Shield Magic so no attack shall harm him.
With the six magics in Adol’s possession, Lefance bestows his righteous intent onto his magic power and orders Adol to head to the lakeside ruins to prevent the Mask of the Sun’s restoration.
When Adol reached Lefance’s tomb which was now in the Ancient City after it rose, Lefance’s spirit informs Adol that he can hear Arem’s pulse returning and the Mask of the Sun is enshrined in the deepest depths of the Temple of the Sun. He tells Adol that in order to enter, he must break the barriers of two towers intended to protect the speaking stone. Lefance confesses that the magic was to be eternal, but with Arem being resurrected, the seal’s destruction will happen soon. Lefance also orders Adol to retrieve the Cleria Sword from Gruda.
After Adol destroys the speaking stone in one tower and overpowers Gruda to recover the Cleria Sword and the Mask of the Moon in the other tower. He returns to Lefance’s tomb where his spirit grants the seventh magic El Doran to him, turning the Clerian Armor into El Doran Armor and orders him to go to the Temple of the Sun and destroy the Mask of the Sun to bring an end to Arem for good.
Around this time, a letter to Adol was sent from Karna saying she had a strange dream this morning where Lefance told her a new age will dawn in Celceta.
Following Arem's demise, Lefance tells a falling Adol that all has come to end with the power being restored to its proper place and the ancient capital being destroyed. With the mission of him and his disciples accomplished, he expresses relief that their spirits can finally rest prior to Lefance using the last of his power to teleport Adol out of the collapsing city and to Leeza's side.
