The 5th generation of Lutz
Summary
Rune Walsh was the main character in the Sega Genesis RPG Phantasy Star 4: The End of the Millennium. He is the fifth in the line of Lutz (Noah in the original translation of Phantasy Star 1) and thus is viewed as a messiah-like figure by the Esper faith.
He's rude, condescending and arrogant, much to the dismay of Espers such as Kyra. Despite these flaws, he is very wise and a courageous warrior who willingly fights for the safety of the Algo Solar System.
He first meets Chaz and co while they investigate Molcum, only to find it completely destroyed, later to briefly join the team, though leaves almost as quickly as he joined. After a failed battle against Zio ends in tragedy, the team searches and finds Rune.
From then on, Rune would become a core member of the team, much to Chaz's dismay. From a gameplay point of view, Rune can be seen as the traditional wizard-type character, with a slew of elemental spells but low physical strength and clunky speed.
