Lactis (ラクティス, Rakutisu) is one of the early Realian models, posted as a test model to the Federation Police 1875th Special Ops Command. He had a somewhat melancholy personality.
He specialized in collecting and analyzing data for the U.M.N.; his responsibilities as a special forces member focused on those strengths. Furthermore, Lactis was one of the early-era Realians that had been installed with Program Canaan, a system thought up by Wilhelm as a way to detect people with a special "trait" (Shining Will) which would allow them to become a Testament. He is described by Wilhelm as carrying their "Canaan" and was used to find people with the "Essence".
As a result of Project Canaan's top secret development within Vector Industries, even its development process is unknown; absolutely no materials remain concerning it. Because the Program is built into the base system within the brain stem at the construction phase, even the Realian in question is unaware of its presence.
Xenosaga: Pied Piper[]
Lactis is an ally of Jan Sauer and Melisse Ortus.
Xenosaga II and III[]
Canaan, a Realian from the time of Xenosaga, is a rebuilt version of Lactis.
Trivia[]
- With the many references to a "promised land" during the events of Pied Piper, the names Lactis (of milk[1]) and Melisse (honey/honeybee [2]) are likely drawn from Exodus 3:8,[3], which describes a land flowing with milk and honey, and mentions the Canaanites.
