Massive Spoilers ahead.
RENAULT: My goodness...
LUCIUS: Y-Yes?
RENAULT: Your face...you don't look so well. Are you hurt? Let me take a look.
LUCIUS: No...please don't. I have a...condition... This is just a...passing attack. It will soon...disappear...
RENAULT: What is this illness? Should you even be fighting?
LUCIUS: My bishop told me that it was a sickness of the soul... But it's gotten much better.
RENAULT: Of the...soul?
LUCIUS: Yes... I offer relief to those who hurt inside, and yet, I, too, am...afflicted... I strive daily to overcome this curse... ...but still I am weak.
RENAULT: Sicknesses of the soul are the most difficult to heal... ...But please do not blame yourself for this... Doing so could even aggravate your condition...
LUCIUS: Th-Thank you. ...Your words...have brought me some peace.
RENAULT: So...what is your name?
LUCIUS: It is Lucius.
RENAULT: Lucius? I am...
LUCIUS: I know. You are...Bishop Renault, are you not?
RENAULT/LUCIUS B RANK CC080
RENAULT: Lucius?
LUCIUS: Yes? Ah, Your Excellency!
RENAULT: You look much better. Have you...recovered some?
LUCIUS: Yes. I took your words to heart, so to speak... Thank you.
RENAULT: Ah, good. Then you will overcome it in no time.
LUCIUS: ...How I wish that I could...
RENAULT: You said the blemish lies on your soul? Speak of it to me, son.
LUCIUS: I... I grew up in an orphanage... and I faced much grief in that place... Poverty and despair can eat one's very soul... There was one teacher there who was particularly cruel to me... Even now... I pray that this evil man might be led away from darkness...
RENAULT: I see... ...and were you there from birth?
LUCIUS: No, Your Excellency. ...I remember living with my mother and father until the age of three.
RENAULT: And why did you go to the orphanage?
LUCIUS: Our house...was invaded by a thief. My father was a famous mercenary, but the man was too strong. I saw my father fall before me. I recall it sometimes, even now... The eyes of the thief who killed him. ...Like terrible dark stones set in his hate-filled face...... All he left behind was this dagger protruding from my father's chest.
RENAULT: Ah!!
LUCIUS: After my father's death, my mother fell ill... ...I was alone. In a cruel twist, this dagger is all I have of my father... ...Bishop Renault? What is it!? Your face is bright red!
RENAULT: Excuse me...
LUCIUS: Of course...
RENAULT/LUCIUS A RANK CC080
LUCIUS: Bishop Renault...?
RENAULT: Lucius.
LUCIUS: ...Did I do something? Something...to...to... Have I angered you? If that were so... I would truly... Please... Forgive me......
RENAULT: Lucius! ...Control yourself!
LUCIUS: Yes... I am...sorry.
RENAULT: Ah, your affliction... ...Forgive me...
LUCIUS: ...Bishop Renault... Why should you...apologize? This scourge upon my soul... It is my own doing...
RENAULT: Do not speak... It will exhaust you.
LUCIUS: ...Ah... Sorry... ... ...
RENAULT: ...He is asleep... ............ Forgive me, son. In those days... I only thought of myself... I trespassed against many in my singular drive to regain the friend I lost...and to satiate my own...monstrous greed. I even sacrificed... the lives of others... Forgive me... Please...forgive...me...
LUCIUS: I forgive you...
RENAULT: You-- LUCIUS: I forgive you.
RENAULT: But you... You cannot know the evil I have wrought... I did it! I killed your father...
LUCIUS: Even so, I fell your grief, and it feels like my own...
RENAULT: Lucius...
Yeah, and that's not all there is more too come.

RENAULT/WALLACE C RANK CC108
WALLACE: Are you Bishop Renault? Let us fight side by side, Your Excellency!
RENAULT: As you will.
WALLACE: Ha! It is good indeed to have allies who are strong of spirit. Mm? You? No, you couldn't be...
RENAULT: What is it?
WALLACE: It is not possible. No...surely not... Forgive me, Bishop Renault... You just look so much like him... You could be the very image of a man I knew...
RENAULT: Oh?
WALLACE: I thought you might be him, but that is certainly not possible. There is no way he could be as you are now... And the last time I saw him was some thirty years ago...
RENAULT/WALLACE B RANK CC108
WALLACE: I was only ten years old or so at the time... I was a squire in the service of a knight of Caelin... I was so puny and slight that some teased me, called me a girl.
RENAULT: ...Sorry. That's a little hard to imagine.
WALLACE: The man I knew was a mercenary also in the service of Caelin. Yes, and his name was also Renault. Renault the Impervious, they called him. He had no fear of death, and his bravery was well known. Did you know him?
RENAULT: No...
WALLACE: I learned much about fighting from him... I owe him a great debt as my teacher... I wanted to meet him one more time in my life.
RENAULT: Why do you want to see him?
WALLACE: I made a promise to him when I was young. I told him I would fight always for the sake of the people. I told him I would never use the skills he taught me for evil. I want to tell him that I have kept this promise... But...surely he is long dead. RENAULT: ......
RENAULT/WALLACE A RANK CC108
WALLACE: Lord Renault, are you all right?
RENAULT: Yes.
WALLACE: You know... It is somewhat strange, but... though we've only just met, I feel as though I've known you for quite some time. I feel we could be good friends.
RENAULT: It would be an honor.
WALLACE: Would that I had met you sooner! Soon our journey ends... And will we fight together no more?
RENAULT: Keep your guard up, Wallace. Victory is not ours yet.
WALLACE: Aahahaha! He said the exact same thing to me once! How could I forget! His teachings are all engraved on my heart!
RENAULT: Wallace. Would you still like to see him again?
WALLACE: Of course! But...it feels less urgent now. having fought alongside you like this, Bishop Renault... It has given me the feeling that perhaps... He has been watching me from heaven...
RENAULT: Perhaps...
WALLACE: I must thank you, Your Excellency.
RENAULT: But I have done nothing, really. Let us go now.
WALLACE: Onward!!

This is where it get's really interesting...
CANAS: Ah, excuse me. you are...on our side, are you not? Fighting with us?
RENAULT: ...... I suppose I am. I am Renault.
CANAS: It is an honor. I am Canas. I have a question.
RENAULT: A long time ago, I... Enough. I don't want to talk about this.
CANAS: Oh. Well that is... truly unfortunate. You see, we know so little of Nergal.
RENAULT: ......
CANAS: Why, for example, did he begin creating morphs? After his falling out with the Archsage Athos, did he feel alone in the world? Did he need the company of someone who could understand him? Was he forced to...create...such a being?
RENAULT: ...Not exactly.
CANAS: Oh?
RENAULT: He has no care for his creations... He merely brought them into this world to serve him. His only interest is himself. Those...things... that he discards... They lose their way... and wander. And he cares not. Morphs...are the mere fact of existence... once meaning has been stripped away.
CANAS: Renault... How do you know so much?
RENAULT: ......
CANAS: Nergal began creating morphs centuries ago. Even Athos knows so little... So...how could you...?
RENAULT: ...... I don't know. My own past is...a mystery.
RENAULT/CANAS A RANK CC083
CANAS: Ah, Renault! Wait for me! I must ask you something!
RENAULT: What is it?
CANAS: ...... Now, I ask you this, only for the sake of knowledge... Knowledge...is the reason for my journey... I understand there are some things you would rather the others did not know... So, please do not answer if you do not wish to.
RENAULT: As you wish.
CANAS: Please tell me... These morphs Nergal has created... How can you know so much about beings that are centuries old?
RENAULT: ......
CANAS: I will give you the answer I suspect may be true. You know, because you were there. Nergal was alone after he and Athos separated. The only ones around him were his morphs... Perhaps then, you are...
RENAULT: ...... What?
CANAS: ...... ...I have never thought one should back away from knowledge, but...I hesitate to ask...
RENAULT: Is that so... Then I will ask you a question.
CANAS: Yes?
RENAULT: You asked me before... Whether or not morphs had a soul... What do you think?
CANAS: ...... Before...I would have said that I do not know... But now, perhaps I do... Morphs...do have souls... That is what I believe...
RENAULT: ...That is not a bad answer. Your reply deserves another good answer... When Nergal first created his morphs, he was not alone. He had one assistant. A mercenary who wanted desperately to bring back a friend he had lost in battle. This mercenary volunteered freely for Nergal's experiments, knowing they would make him less than human...
CANAS: Bishop Renault, are you saying--
RENAULT: This was a long, long time ago...
