Glen is a playable character in Luminous Arc 3 and one of the male protagonists of the game.
At the time of the game, Glen is a 6-Star Magi, a member of Urgard special course and also a member of Magus. We get to know that he lived and studied in Urgard for at least 5 years (since he was 13 years old or younger). 5 years ago, Glen was already a 4-Star Magi and also a member of Magus along with Dino and Royce.
Glen was considered the number one Magi Knight in school before Levi's arrival. Due to his gentlemanliness and skill in battle, Glen is admired by everyone in Urgard. Especially by his apprentices: Randal, Nathan and Scott with which he trains together in the Training Room.
Plot[]
Prior to the story, Glen was raised by Instructor Valerie in the Shelterhouse along with Levi and Lily, since his parents were killed by the Felicia during an Eye Hunt. Sometime later, he left Shelterhouse to enroll in Urgard Academy and has awaken his potential as a Magi Knight. His Violet Lapistier is located on his solar plexus after the Transformation.
Personality[]
Glen believes in that hard working is the most important virtue which is respresented throughout the game. According to Levi, Glen's strictness is nothing compared to Ashley's and he is much more "flexible" than her. From one of his intermissions, we learn that Glen is worried if he's good enough of a leader and if he can protect all of his friends. Glen is also known for his weird way of laughing that annoyed Levi to no end.
Glen's relationship with Levi is far from normal rivalry like everyone thought as he is much friendlier than stereotypical rival character, althought if they are more than friends or not is up to personal interpretation (although it's implied from his S-Rank rumor, however, that the person Glen likes is indeed Levi). Despite being a Fire Magi, Glen is known for his cat's tongue and cannot drink or eat hot things. Glen also developed a very specific diet that allowed him to grow very high, which makes Levi jealous.
Glen's Room[]
Glen's Room is located on the first floor of Urgard Dormitory. Main theme of his room are armors and weapons. Glen's magical attribute (fire) isn't that apparent, but crimson (guren) is. The object you can interact with is Glen's armor. Levi delivers a different monologue if you interact with it during the Chant Festival in Glen's absence.
In the first half of the game, you can meet Glen in his room only in the morning of Chapter 12, because he usually waits for you near Urgard's main gate. If certain requirements are met for Glen to return to Urgard, you can meet him again in his room, starting from the morning of Chapter 24.
Glen's Room is accessible right from the beginning of the game in Chapter 1.
Intermissions[]
All Glen's Intermissions take place in the Training Area.
Bath Events[]
Glen's Bath Events take place in Chapters 5 and 13:
Trivia[]
- Glen (紅蓮 / ぐれん - Guren) in Japanese means "crimson".
- Glen is the only physical unit to be able to cast all three-tier spells in Luminous Arc 3 (albeit in cutscene).
- In Chapter 4, Heine says that Glen looks like a hell keeper, which is funny considering that Glen's class is Cerberus (three-headed hound from Greek mythology who guarded the gates to the underworld).
- Glen is the only character to have two unique sets of battle voice lines, depending on he is corrupted or not.
Battle[]
Stats and Abilities[]
Glen specialized in fire based and long ranged attack. He possessed highest accuracy which is only surpassed by Sion. Along with high HP and attack stat, Glen is suitable for almost any kind of frontline battle. His midline mag stat somewhat hamper his "Flame Pillar" a bit, but still rather useful against grouped or water element enemies.
In Chapter 14, he leaves your party and returns in Chapter 23 with LV 35 if correct speech choices are made. On second playthrough he will always remain with you.
