Revision 1

Lasswell is one of the two lead knights of Final Fantasy Resonance and the deputy commander of Grandshelt's airship squadron. Official material rates his skill as the equal of Rain's, the squadron's commander and his childhood friend. Alejandro Saab voices him in English and Yusuke Kobayashi in Japanese.

Role in the Story

Lasswell accompanies Rain to the Earth Shrine when a royal decree orders the pair to investigate its weakening magical barrier. In the innermost chamber they are overwhelmed by a mysterious man clad in black armor; the Earth Crystal is shattered, their airship is wrecked, and their comrades fall. Back home they find Grandshelt under attack by the same man, Veritas of the Dark, and suffer a second defeat even as they rescue the king. Lasswell then joins Rain and Fina on the journey to protect the remaining Crystals. The full premise is at Story and Setting.

Personality and Background

Serious and disciplined, Lasswell is described as a model soldier, trusted by both his subordinates and his superiors. He was orphaned at a young age and taken in and raised by Rain's family, so the two grew up side by side. The official biography adds a wry note: having grown up with Rain, he often finds himself dragged along by his friend's impulsive nature. Preview coverage of the opening chapter draws the same picture, casting Lasswell as the calm counterweight who reins Rain in when he charges ahead.

The two friends also split over Raegen, Rain's father, a knight who left his family behind and disappeared without a trace. Rain speaks of him dismissively; Lasswell respects Raegen as a knight. Official material reveals nothing else about Raegen, but previews single out the disagreement as an early story thread.

Voice

Lasswell is voiced by Alejandro Saab in English and Yusuke Kobayashi in Japanese. The developers have said the main scenario is fully voiced. The rest of the announced cast is listed at Characters.
