Heinrich

Heinrich was a legendary hero who defeated a vile, corrupt monster named Black Alice, or Alice the VIII (Eighth), 500 years ago. Using the power of the Four Spirits, he ended her life as a means of bringing peace to the world.

According to Lilith, Heinrich once wielded the Angel Halo, and Luka is his descendant.

However, sometime prior to Black Alice’s defeat, he revolted against Ilias and was sealed in the Criminal’s Jail for all eternity, the ultimate punishment where one cannot reincarnate.

It seems as if every major character in the game who has lived for as long as Heinrich has, has come in contact with him. That, or they know of the true legend of Heinrich. As for why he revolted against Ilias, still remains unknown.
