Lucretia is Hugo’s Father
The question of Hugo’s paternal figure has tormented Suikoden fans since the conclusion of Suikoden III. Tormented by comments like "Hugo got his hair color from his father," "Hugo’s father was a kind man," and "We’ve seen Hugo’s father before", Suikoden fans came to unreasonable conclusions that Hans Cunningham, Beachum, or some random Karayan soldier was Hugo’s father. But thanks to new information presented in Suikoden V, Hugo’s hidden genealogy has at last been revealed.
1) Lucretia is a Man
Many fans assume that Lucretia is female due to his hair, physical appearance, robes, voice, name, title of "Lady", and biographical information. While this conclusion seems apparent, it is founded on the same faulty principles of logic used to prove Evolution, the existence of microbes within our bodies, and the idea that cancer kills and does not produce puppies from thin air.
Characters like Kasios, Mara, and Shula prove that physical appearance is an erroneous method to determine gender. Lucretia’s appearance and dress is irrelevant, except that the robes are rather large and not form fitting, contrary to the standard style of dress most Suikoden V females prefer. It is likely that they are hiding something. Although many characters refer to Lucretia as "Lady" and think of him as a woman, this is likely part of a ruse, a tactic which he used several times throughout Suikoden V. The characters surrounding him, such as Cius, are completely taken by the deception and do not question it. Only characters who know him from the past would be aware of the subterfuge. This explains his antagonism to Cathari, who could reveal his secret, and also the antagonism of Godwin, who would understandably be upset to find his mistress was not a miss. The evidence is further compounded when one considers that Lucretia will not enter the bath, since he is afraid his secret will be revealed.
Lucretia is also sexually involved with women, such as Lelei. While it is unclear what Lucretia thinks of Lelei, he keeps her closer than any other character, allowing her constant access to his room, and even letting her accompany him after the game’s end. It would appear that Lelei’s romantic desires were at least satisfied to an extent. While it could be claimed that Lelei is a lesbian, there is no evidence of relationships with other females. Thus if Lucretia is the only person Lelei has been involved with, it is impossible to conclude whether she is heterosexual or homosexual.
Finally, Lucretia is based heavily on the Chinese strategist Zhuge Liang, who was a man. Creating a female character based on a man is just plain silly.
2) Lucretia’s Hair is Black
This is another point that appears absurd until considered carefully. While Lucretia looks like a blonde, his hair is actually dyed. The green tips of his bangs are evidence of tampering with the natural hair coloring. Further, because Lucretia is an adopted First-Class Harmonian, his parents would likely dye his hair blonde so that he could fit in easier. The original color was likely black, establishing the hereditary link to Hugo.
3) Lucretia is Connected to the Karaya Clan
It is accepted that Lucretia was born into the Karaya Clan, but was separated from them after the True Fire Rune went berserk and adopted by Harmonians. Since Lucretia vanishes after the end of the Falena Civil War, he must have traveled throughout the world, keeping a relatively low profile. Along the way he would have certainly visited his original people, and possibly even stayed to live with them. There he could have met Lucia and fell in love, resulting in the birth of Hugo. Lucretia likely either stayed behind during the events of Suikoden II in order to maintain his anonymity, or he left shortly after impregnating Lucia. By the time Hugo was fifteen, Lucretia had either left on his journey, or had died.
4) Lucretia Appears Prior to the Events of Suikoden III
Many fans claim Konami has said that Hugo’s father had already been seen, though the statement remains unconfirmed. While this could disprove Lucretia’s claim to paternity, it is important to remember that Suikoden V happens before Suikoden III. Suikoden V was a long time in development, running alongside Suikoden IV, and it is likely the principal planning for the game began during Suikoden III. As the chief strategist, Lucretia would likely be among the first characters developed especially due to his connection to Hugo. Thus, confused members of Konami probably made these comments in passing, forgetting that Suikoden V had not yet been released.
5) Lucretia and Lucia Both Begin With Luc and End With ia
The similarity between the names proves the two were meant for each other. And since they share "Luc", a major character in Suikoden, this cannot be ignored as idle speculation.
6) Numerology
Numerology is the study of numbers and how they determine one’s fate. If one assigns numbers to roman letters (1-26), the numerologic sum of Lucretia and Lucia equals 135, the same as the sum of Hugo off Karaya, "off" being used instead of "of" because of the translation precedent in Final Fantasy VII: "Off Course" instead of "Of Course". Numerology proves beyond a doubt that Hugo must be the child of Lucretia and Lucia, and also that Hugo is the antichrist.

Have no fear in your heart
though you feel you've been broken and lost
there's a one way we will meet up again
there's a place that mends your hurt and takes you in
there are times faced alone
when you find all the holes in yourself
you don't have to walk the night on your own
I will send a prayer with you to lead you on
I will say a prayer for you when you have gone

*Edit* THis is not an angry rant, more of a reflection of the changes on the site. I love Gaia the way it is, I just... remember when ... My fave change has GOT to be the tour. And the Welcome to Gaia thing! yes... *End edit*
Darn it all, look at this mess of buttons and colors and ALL of this white! Dadnabit! And all of these towns. Ya' could get lost just looking for a shop. Not that you have to LOOK for a shop any more. You just click one of these here buttons and Poof, fifty-seven eight stores out of no where. All stacked like legos. Why back in my day there were TWO stores. We didn't count the hat rack, it was a hat shop. With hats. But there WERE two stores. Ian's, and Shasa's! AND we WALKED to them. Barefoot. Up hill. Both ways. In the SNOW! And we LIKED IT! *Shakes a stick*
There were no mini games. No poker, no slots, and no SMELLY SLIMY FISH! And we didn't have houses. We lived in threads. With text. That's all we got was text. And we couldn't move our arms or feet. We just stood there and we LIKED IT! *Shakes the stick again*
We didn't have no fancy places to catch bugs. Bugs were things that happened to Sushi and Brains. DO any of you remember SUSHI!?!?! No, I doubt it. Darn n00bs... *Nods off...*
...
...
ZZZZzzzz*
Where was I? Oh yes, the chatter box! There was a man who had a Spider that BIT you there. He was in ALL the threads. That was a time when you could USE all the threads in the chatter box. And we LIKED IT! *Shakes a stick*
Back in the day we quested for things like the devil tail or the devil horns or what have you. Now look, there's this black halo thingy that has all of that and shoes. SHOES! Who ever heard of donation shoes. Shoes to treasure come in boxes with wings. Back in the day I caught a few of those. I don't see them any more. We got boxes and when we did we went to the chatter box and we made a thread about it because THAT was news! None of these NPC soap operas. Our NPCs were respectable. Leon was our guardian! Now look at him, he has a desk job in Gilds. Gilds, by Lanzer, when we wanted a guild back in the day we made ONE THREAD for it and WE LIKED IT! *Shakes a stick*
Every one wanted a kimono, or a tux. They were THE quest items. Now look at you folks. Why some one, Celesse I believe, just got a Halo. Not one of these dadnab black ones every one is sporting these days, but a shiny GOLD one! Back in my day Gaian's knew very well that Halos were off limits to the likes of us and we LIKED IT! *Shakes a stick*
Lanzer all mighty, just LOOK at all of these subforems... Why, back in the day, if you had some thing to talk about that wasn't in a MAIN forum, you went to the chatter box! AND WE LIKED IT! *Shakes a stick*
Find your own discussion you n00bs. *Grumbles and nods off again*

The Vorpal Blade See...i've always been of the opinion that its very foolish not to get something just because its popular. That's like...intentionally trying to be outside the box instead of standing outside because thats how you are. I get what I like, regardless of popularity. Anything else is just fake, just as fake as getting something simply because it IS popular.

`Salt Fairy Well, if Gaia offered a channel, couldn't they offer FULL TV SERVICE? It'd be like Givo. xD
I'd watch ads on the Gaia channel. Ads for strange hair products (Elemento: "Lighting your hair ablaze since December, 2006!"/"Elemento offers maximum hold, moreso than the leading brands of hairspray. The secret is: ICE! That's right, we freeze your hair!" wink or watching ads for Gaia's latest foray into the gaming world...
"Get the new Gaystation 3! The new and improved GS3 runs not on hardware, but on GWEEware! That's right, there's a GWEE inside your GS3, constantly stoking the fire, so to speak."

Airez [~.PuppY_LoveR.~] im catholic i would know what is and isnt a sin... What is and isn't a sin is based on the beliefs of a person. What may be sinning to you may not be sinning to another. One faith does not determine what is or isn't right for everyone.
