Lelouch is
a very intelligent individual and calm, sophisticated and arrogant due to his
aristocratic education. While at school, Lelouch appears to be a sociable,
personable, and often easy-going student. However, this is really a mask to
hide your true self. While as Zero his true, nature is expressed. His charisma
and beliefs in justice earn him the trust and respect of many soldiers and
leaders.
Lelouch is
known to have a very stoic personality. He never worried about schoolwork,
seeing everything as trivial, despite the fact that his intelligence would make
the task easier. At one point, Shirley stated that if Lelouch applied at
school, he could get high marks. It is extremely competitive since it likes to
look for challenges, often to play chess games against the nobility. In
general, Lelouch takes most of the daily affairs with open disinterest, often
not even noticing the affection of others, especially Shirley, her classmate.
He has a strong dislike for nobles, viewing them as lukewarm beings and
"excessive parasites".
Shortly
after gaining the power of Geass from the C.C., Lelouch assumes the secret
identity of Zero, a mysterious and masked revolutionary wearing a helmet and
black cape. The helmet has a retractable plate over the left eye so that
Lelouch can use his Geass. In this disguise, he forms the Black Knights,
initially made up of members of Kaname Ohgi's resistance group. The goal of
this vigilante group is a campaign against powerful individuals oppressing the
homeless, which ultimately expands to reform Japan as an independent nation.
Lelouch is
willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, even if it means lying to
his followers and using people as bait for the result he wants. However, he has
trouble putting those close to him in a detrimental way for the sake of his
goal, which is a weakness as a commander, but a remnant of his humanity and
sanity. His feelings for Nunnally in particular often hinder his plans,
especially at the end of the first season, where he abandons a massive war with
Britannia's forces to rescue her, and early in the second season, when he has
trouble believing that Nunnally is Volunteer Campaign for peace that interferes
with your plans. Gradually, however, he has come to embrace the fact that he
has to destroy before reconstruction can occur, even if it means harming those
he cares about.
Lelouch was
originally motivated by the desire to avenge his mother's death and build an
ideal world where his sister Nunnally can live in peace. After Nunnally becomes
Viceroy of Area 11, and his wishes conflict with his goals, his friends help
him realize that his rebellion is no longer just for Nunnally, but for all the
people in the world.
Lelouch
begins to leave as Damocles continues to detonate F.L.E.I.J.A. then Lelouch
sees C.C. and tells him that he is worried about her, but then Kallen attacks
the Avalon and he is saved thanks to C.C.
Using the
Anti-F.L.E.I.J.A, Lelouch and Suzaku deactivate the F.L.E.I.J.A bomb and
proceed to the Damocles board. He manages to bring Schneizel under his control.
Lelouch goes to confront Nunnally, who has regained her sight at the point of
willpower, suppressing the effect left on her by her father's geass; So he uses
his geass on her to give her control of the F.L.E.I.J.A detonator and take
control over the Damocles. With no one to oppose him, Lelouch proclaims himself
world leader.
Two months
later, Lelouch begins the public execution of the leaders of the Order of the
Black Knights and the representatives of the UFN. Suzaku, dressed as Zero,
interrupts and assassinates Lelouch, ending the Zero Requiem as he had planned.
For having directed all the hatred in the world on him, Lelouch's death serves
to facilitate peace. He dies smiling, saying that he is the one who destroys
worlds and recreates them again. Suzaku now plays the role of Zero, Nunnally
could only look in shock. When Lelouch falls close to her, she takes his hand
and realizes that he has purposely sacrificed himself for her dream and world
peace. Lelouch dies in the arms of a grieving Nunnally, who is his successor as
Empress of Britannia.
In a final
scene, C.C. in a carriage in which he professes his admiration for Lelouch for
using the Kings' Geass to unite people.
