Lelouch Lamperogue

Lelouch Lamperouge, also known as Lelouch vi Britannia, Zero, Lulu, Black Prince, The Demon Emperor and Treacherous Emperor Lelouch, is the main protagonist from the Code Geass series.
== Charactah Account ==
Lelouch was given the power called a Geass that allows him to compel anyone to obey him to do anything he demands — although It only works once on any given person. Few even of his closest friends know that he is actually a fallen prince of the Britannian Empire. He plans to rebel against his estranged father, the Emperor Charles zi Britannia, who, he thinks, was unforgivably apathetic about his mother's death — and may even have had a hand in it. Worse, Lelouch was sent to Japan with his crippled sister as bargaining chips, only for said nation to be invaded with them still there. Lelouch demands vengeance, and he'll settle for nothing less than the complete destruction of the Britannian royal line.
Lelouch is a highly intelligent individual who is also calm, sophisticated, and arrogant due to his aristocratic upbringing. While at school, Lelouch conducts himself as a sociable, likeable, and often easygoing student. However, this is really a mask to hide his true nature. While as Zero his true nature is expressed. His charisma and beliefs in justice gain him the trust and respect of many soldiers and leaders.
Lelouch is known for having a very stoic personality. He never cared about schoolwork, seeing the entire thing as trivial, even though his high intelligence would make it easy for him. At one point, Shirley stated that if Lelouch applied himself in school, he could get high grades. He enjoys seeking out challenges, often playing chess against nobility. In general, Lelouch takes most day-to-day affairs with open disinterest, often not even noticing the affection of others, especially Shirley, his fellow classmate. He has a strong dislike for nobles, viewing them as tepid and "overprivileged parasites."

== Trivia ==
* Lelouch's English voice actress as a child is Michelle Ruff, who also voices Euphemia and Arthur.
* A character similar to Lelouch is Char Aznable (and subsequent characters based on him) of the long-running Gundam franchise also by Sunrise. Both wear masks and bear several aliases rebelling against a nation (the Principality of Zeon which parallels the Holy Britannian Empire) they were once part of. In Lancelot & Guren during Kallen's capture, Lelouch takes up Quattro's Bajeena's traits as an advisor to the young orphan named Benio Akagi who is similar to Kamille Bidan and just like in 0079, Lelouch opposes Britannia once more like how Quattro opposes the Titans who are atrocious as Britannia.
* Lelouch's character design is based on Kamui Shiro from X-1999 and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles by CLAMP who were also the character designers for Code Geass.
* Lelouch's alias "Lamperouge" can mean "The Emperor" if the japanese letters are rearranged.
* During Lelouch's reign as emperor, the sword he used is highly possibly a tribute to the divine sword of Kamui from X-1999.
** It could also possibly be a reference to the Sword With the Red Hilt, a holy Arthurian sword wielded by Galahad, used by his father Lancelot when he killed Gawain.
* Lelouch's first personal Knightmare, Gawain, is named for a Knight of the Round Table who Lelouch has a lot in common with. Both are older brothers, are popular with women, and are betrayed by their best friend known as Lancelot. Lancelot killed Gawain's younger brothers like Suzaku was thought to have killed Nunnally. Gawain refused to fight Lancelot until his unarmed brothers were slain, like how Lelouch continually tries to recruit Suzaku and doesn't actively try to harm him until he's been horribly betrayed and Nunnally taken from him. To top it off, Lancelot kills Gawain and Gawain forgives him, similar to how Suzaku executes Lelouch after the two reconcile.
* Lelouch has parallels in the series where he is not the star, Leila Malcal in Akito the Exiled and Marrybell mel Britannia in OZ the Reflection. All three are high-born and orphaned, estranged from much of the family they have, commanders of a specialized group, have a strong sense of justice, are willing to join the front line themselves, are very close with their ace pilot, and have a powerful Geass manifested in their left eye. Marrybell takes it further than Leila by being royalty, losing her mother and sister in a supposed terrorist attack when it was actually V.V., losing her claim to the throne, reclaiming it, being Geassed by Charles, being betrayed by and fighting a war against her childhood friend/best friend who uses a version of the Lancelot, taking a rival to her best friend as her ace, and then essentially having a Zero Requiem of her own and even being stabbed the same time Lelouch is. Lelouch himself even comments on how alike they are.
** These parallels can also bring the nature of the relationship between Lelouch and Suzaku into question as Marrybell and Oldrin are heavily implied to be in a romantic and possibly sexual relationship, and Leila and Akito are one of the few canon couples with an on-screen kiss and a happy ending.
* In a book entitled Les noms des Juifs de Tunisia (The names of the Jews of Tunisia), "Lellouche" is an Algerian surname, variant form of Lellouch, Lelouch and Allouche. It is derived from the Arabic el allouch "The Lamb". There is a famous French director named Claude Lelouch.
* In French, Lelouch Lamperouge means:
** Lelouch = Le (is an article of 'the') + louche ('shady', 'cross-eyed', 'ambigious', 'crafty' etc.).
** Lamperouge = Lampe ('lamp/light') + rouge ('red').
