Lux from Undefeated Bahumut Chronicle, as to quote this page:

"To wit, as a small child, his mother, his sister and himself were thrown out of the imperial court for basically no reason. On the journey, their carriage crashes, impaling his mother, and when he runs for aid, people ignore him, or throw rocks, and profane curses, at a small child simply because they don't like the way The Emperor does things, leaving him to see his mother die from her injuries because he had neither the knowledge nor the tools to do anything about it, and does he ever resent it. He might well have died himself except that Philuffy of a powerful merchant house took him and his sister in, out of pity. He spends several years learning how to operate a Drag Ride, becoming the youngest Drag Knight ever, purely for the sake of gaining an audience with the Emperor, his own father, to warn him as to the deep hatred his people have for him and his policies, only to be thrown out on his ear, his warning and accomplishment ignored. To add injury to insult, The Emperor, at best, ignores the actions of his cabinet who take Philuffy, the girl to whom Lux owes his life, by force, from her home to experiment on. Experiments known to be highly cruel, and often fatal, and summarily ignores the pleas of a very powerful merchant house to have her freed. Lux, having no other option than launching a coup and taking the Emperor's army down by force, in order to rescue her finds himself betrayed by his own older brother, Fugil, who organized the coup, and then used it to kill the entire imperial court, including their father, purely for shits and giggles, meaning it would be years before Lux ever sees Philuffy again, if the Philuffy he meets and the one he grew up with are the same person, that is. On top of all that, he is left alone, and unconscious in the blood soaked court to be found and arrested, slapped with a debt equal to 1/5 the national budget, and Fugil, for his own pleasure, is supporting the remnants of the very empire that took everything from Lux so they can keep on taking everything precious to him away."
