Summary
Luciano Bradley, also known as the "Vampire of Britannia," serves as one of the Knight of Ten. He is a violent and confrontational individual who enjoys provoking others and attacking without cause, earning the dislike of several Knights of Rounds. Luciano displays little regard for human life, whether friend or foe, as long as his actions result in destruction. He fights specifically to kill people in public, claiming to be a "homicide genius" and wielding large knives with exceptional throwing skill. Although fiercely loyal to the Empire, he often acts on his own whims, even in the presence of the Imperial family, and pilots the Knightmare Frame Percival. He commands the Grausam Valkyrie Squadron, a unit of personal bodyguards consisting of four young women aged fifteen to twenty-five who pilot two-tone pink Vincents. Two of these pilots are Liliana Vergamon and Marika Soresi, the sister of Kewell Soresi. Before joining the squadron, they served under Princess Cornelia. Luciano first appears shortly before the formation of the UFN, where he throws a knife at Suzaku and insults Euphemia. He later interrupts a conversation between Nunnally and Kallen, informing Kallen that she will be used as a hostage and threatening her by stating her body is expendable as long as she remains alive. Gino intervenes, prompting Luciano to insult him by suggesting his nobility was the key to his position. During the second battle of Tokyo, Luciano destroys several Black Knights' Knightmares and nearly kills Lelouch alongside the Grausam Valkyrie Squadron. All four Valkyrie pilots are subsequently killed by Kallen, followed by Luciano himself.
