Line 32:

:Seemingly an ordinary 17-year-old student at the Ashford Academy, Lelouch Lamperouge, also called {{nihongo|Lelou|ルル|Ruru}} by his friends, is in fact the son of the Emperor of Britannia and the late Empress Marianne and a member of the Britannia Imperial Family. His real name is {{nihongo|'''Lelouch Vi Britannia'''|ルルーシュ・ヴィ・ブリタニア}} and he was the eleventh prince and seventeenth in line for the throne prior to his mother's assassination and his sister's crippling in the same incident. A 10-year-old Lelouch confronted the Emperor afterwards and accused him of leaving his mother defenseless. In response, his father declared him stripped of his status as prince and banished him to Japan, where he was used as a political hostage over the [[Code Geass#Terminology|Sakuradite]] (a mineral resource which the Britannia Empire craved for) conflict. It was during his stay at the prime minister's house that he befriended Suzaku Kururugi. However, when Britannia finally developed its Knightmare Frames fleet and decided to invade Japan to seize control of the Sakuradite mines, consequently discarding Lelouch's use as a diplomatic tool, Lelouch, fearing for his and his sister's safety, hid their true identity and reverted to their mother's maiden name, Lamperouge, seeking the help of the Ashford family, who were his mother's allies. Only the Ashford family members and Suzaku Kururugi know his true name, while Eurphemia analyzed and discover his real identity.

:Lelouch believes the world has been thrown in a [[vicious circle]] of violence and oppression that can only be broken if someone dared to step forth, work against it, and win. A brilliant thinker and very talented at [[chess]], Lelouch is a member of Ashford Academy's student council who can easily become the top honors student, but he chooses to do slightly worse to avoid attention. One day, he receives the Power of Geass from C.C., which allows him to manipulate people's minds. To pursue his quest against Britannia, he dons a black helmet and cloak and assumes the secret identity of a mysterious, masked activist he baptizes {{nihongo|'''Zero'''|ゼロ}}. He later creates the Order of the Black Knights by allying himself with Kallen's resistance group, starting a terrorist campaign against powerful individuals who oppress the helpless. He is willing to do whatever it takes to collapse the Empire, even if it means lying to his followers, using people as bait, or even sacrificing those close to him for the outcome he desires. However, it is difficult for him to execute his meticulous plans when he knows or discovers those close to him may suffer from the results, which is a weakness as a commander but a remnant of his humanity and sanity. The true purposes of Lelouch's rebellion are to obtain revenge for his mother and construct an ideal world where his sister Nunnally can live in peace, in his own way. That's why, when Euphemia announced the Special Region, Lelouch believed that she has ruined his plans.
