LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA
LV
An exiled Britannian prince hiding out as a brilliant, bored high school student in Area 11 (formerly Japan). When a mysterious girl grants him the "Absolute Obedience" Geass—allowing him to command anyone to do anything via direct eye contact—Lelouch turns the entire world into his personal chess board. Donning a dramatic cape and mask as the revolutionary leader "Zero," he orchestrates a massive, hyper-calculated rebellion against his own tyrannical father. He is the ultimate shonen strategist, famous for his theatrical hand gestures and his terrifying willingness to sacrifice anything—and anyone—to build a gentler world for his sister, Nunnally.

R2: MEMORY, RETURN & BETRAYAL //
Open page →Turn 1 · Rolo · Missing Nunnally
After the Black Rebellion, Emperor Charles uses Geass to rewrite Lelouch's memories. Nunnally is removed from his life and Rolo is inserted as a younger brother while Britannia watches Ashford for signs that Zero will return. C.C. and the surviving Black Knights attack Babel Tower not just to rescue a leader, but to give Lelouch his own history back.
Turn 19 · Escape
Lelouch spends much of R2 manipulating Rolo's desperate need for family and privately intends to discard him. When the Black Knights turn on Zero, Rolo saves Lelouch anyway, repeatedly using his Geass despite knowing the strain will kill him. His death leaves Lelouch with one more person who loved him more honestly than Lelouch treated them.
