“Could our situation be any better? Just look at these fragile defenses... As fragile as the queen's reign!
”
—Ludveck while attacking Fort Alpea.
Ludveck (ルドベック, Rudbeck) was the Duke Felirae. He was the one that started the rebel movement against Queen Elincia in Part 2 of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. He planned to capture the Crimean capital and make himself king of the country.
Ludveck's plot was first uncovered by Brom, Nephenee, and Heather in a small rural village in Crimea. They learned of the plot from the leader of the rebel forces in the area who reffered to Ludveck in their battle cries.
The three then traveled to the Crimean capital to inform the Queen. Queen Elincia then sends them along with Lady Lucia to investigate Ludveck. The group discovered the complete plot and returned to the capital after fighting a small force who tried to captured them.
At the capital, Ludveck captures Lucia after she tried to talk to an informant, as he has infiltrated her spy network. He then proceeds to launch his main attack on Fort Alpea where the Queen is. However he was defeated in battle. His remaining rebel forces threatened to kill the captured Lucia if Ludveck was not released. When Elincia headed to the prison to ask Ludveck his motives, he claimed he began his rebellion to "test" Elincia's skill as ruler by seeing if she could stop a civil war, and concluded that he'd make a better ruler. Elincia refuses to release him and tells him that strength without compassion does not make a good ruler. Despite this, Lucia lived, as the Greil Mercenaries appeared at the last moment and saved her. After this moment, Ludveck is never seen again for the rest of the game.

[edit] Personality
Ludveck was a very arrogant man and was entirely convinced of his own superiority. This overconfidence was not unfounded, however, considering he still was able to hold a trump card over Queen Elincia after his capture. He refused to recognize when he was ultimately defeated by Elincia's forces. Despite his failure, he still believed himself to be a better ruler than Elincia. After Ludveck's rebellion was quelled he was incarcerated and played no further role in the game.
Ludveck was very fond of Lady Lucia. Ironically, his plan for the usurpation of the Crimean throne included the possible murder of Lucia. In addition, Ludveck cut off a significant amount of Lucia's hair as a message to Queen Elincia.
