'''Luceus''' ('''Akuto''' in Japanese), along with [[Aurora]], is one of two main characters in {{DQH}}. He is the Captain of the Royal Guard of Arba.

==Description==
Luceus, a steadfast captain in King [[Doric]]'s service, prides himself on his carefully laid out strategies and tactical battle maneuvers. His commitment to a systematic approach to combat is such that even his own allies tire of his incessant need to lay out a battle plan. He grew up in Arba with [[Aurora]] and [[Healix]].

Luceus is a talented tactician with a flair for fast-paced fire attacks. His impressive speed and remarkable reach make him an asset in any battle. His [[Inferno Slash]] attack unleashes a searing cyclone that swallows up whole swathes of foes. Aim it at large groups of enemies!

==Other Appearances==
==={{DQH2}}===
Luceus appears in Dragon Quest Heroes II as a recurring character that can be played as in co-op dungeons, but is unable to be used in the regular story mode. His moveset is mostly unchanged from the previous game, however [[Zoom]] was replaced with [[Bounce]] due to the former being repurposed for Wild Zone travesal. Additionally he is unable to equip any weapons or shields, being locked to the Captain's sword & Luceus's shield, though he can still equip Orbs and accessories. Having save data from the previous title grants Luceus' costume for [[Lazarel|the game's male protagonist]].
