“ | Our king is meek; in the end, Dolhr proved better at cowing him than I did. | ” | — Lorenz, on Ludwik |

Ludwik (Japanese: ルイ Louis) was the king of Grust during the War of Shadows.
Biography
At the early stage of the War of Shadows, King Ludwik was blackmailed by Gharnef into forming an alliance between Grust and Dolhr as his twin children, Yuliya and Jubelo, were captured and imprisoned in Khadein.[1] As Marth was marching toward Grust in order to make them surrender, King Ludwik fell ill while both General Camus of the Sable Order and General Lorenz took his place as commanders of the Kingdom's army.[2]
Personality
Ludwik is a weak-willed and cowardly king who was easily cowed into allying with Dolhr even when their goals of exterminating mankind were clear and his subordinate Lorenz attempted to convince him otherwise.

They were taken to Khadein, the city of magic, and locked away in a pitch-black room." — An elderly Grustian, Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
