* As for ''why'' someone would make a homunculus in Lancelot's image, Isabella's always been obsessed with him. Perhaps she originally created Cruz as a "backup" for Lancelot, and after her and Gareth's defeat in "Four Knights of a Fallen Land", Gareth (assuming she's alive) uncovered him and sent him to join the Order of the White Dragons as TheMole.

Or they might have an agenda of their own, which somewhat conflicts with the idea of the protagonists. First and foremost, they are the hooded figures who ''stole'' the cards containing the power of the Arcarum Primal Beasts, which kickstarted Monika's quest of investigating them in the "Arcarum: The World Beyond" mode.

* Lucio's journal description mentions that he has a dubious background. Belial's first scene in "What Makes The Sky Blue: Paradise Lost" has the fallen angel introduce himself as a fashion designer, magician, and a patissier - changing one's professions in a single conversation is doubtful enough, as if Belial's dialogue parodies or parallels Lucio having a doubtful identity.

[[WMG: Cruz is actually an ArtificialHuman in Lancelot's image]]
*Some fans have noticed [[http://game-a1.granbluefantasy.jp/assets_en/img_mid/sp/quest/scene/character/body/3990785000.png Cruz's hair and eye colors]] are rather close to [[http://game-a.granbluefantasy.jp/assets_en/img_mid/sp/assets/npc/f/3040191000_02_102.jpg Lancelot's]] (especially in Lancelot's newer illustrations).
*Cruz's [[TheStoic lack of emotion]] has been commented on by several characters, with Mordred saying he can never tell what Cruz is thinking in one event page line in "Divergent Knighthoods". Perhaps a sign that he's not a normal human?
*During "Divergent Knighthoods", Cruz has a mysterious sixth sense, sensing something amiss with the Mountain Shrine before anyone else, including Lancelot himself. It may be another indication that he's not completely human.
