for some reason, i like to check the Geass articles in wiki. just to see if any character info's been updated, mainly the Knights of Rounds, and i stumble upon an update in Luciano's portion.


it mentions how in the light novels, his father was abusive and his mother was an alcoholic and he later killed his father at the age of seven.

now i'm never up to date with novels or whatever, but does anyone know if this is reliable info? i remember someone posting novel translations somewhere here. if i could remember the tag, i would link it but my memory escapes me. so i'm just asking if anyone else has heard or read something similar or possible something that could expand somehow because i'm very interested in the KoRs.


not sure what to tag this as, so i'll just use these and hopefully someone will correct me

It's not part of the Sneaker novels.

Ahhh. . . they didn't mention which novel it was IIRC, but do we call fakity fake fake for now?

As far as I know it's made up. Both the latest version of the Sneaker novel and the R2 standalone novel were released this weekend (8/30, 9/1). If they were somehow able to obtain translations of these novels a couple of weeks before they were actually published that's a pretty good trick.

New Sneaker novel is about the last generation (Bismarck's) of KoR, and the R2 one would not be narrating past about Ep8 or so of the anime, so neither has reason to mention Luciano at all.

I will be getting both books in a few more days so I can confirm that. As far as I know there are no other novellization projects other than these two series, unless whoever posted the information gives an alternate source.

I've heard of leaks a couple days in advance for other bits of side canon, but. . . yeah, we'll wait for confirmation then. Sorry for making this into a bigger mess XD;

Don't need to apologize, it's whoever jumped the gun and decided to start editing Wiki without a verifiable source that's confusing people :P

I'm checking through AnimeSuki too to see if I can find the original source. WISH ME LUCK sooob these boards

Good luck, your sacrifice will be remembered. ^^;

I can't read the AniSuki boards, the sheer amount of stupid is comparable to 2-chan.

Y-yeah. I went for the technique of "DO NOT READ ANYTHING, JUST SCAN FOR NAMES"

And here we go! (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1821625&postcount=16109) . . . I'm suspicious.

I really would not rely on 4chan as a good source of information ^^;

I guess I'll see when I get the books.
