30	A bounty hunter who specializes in hunting sin eaters. He hires the Warrior of Light to fight alongside him against the Cardinal Virtue Andreia.
31	----
32	* BigEater: Pretty much any time you meet him at the bar in the Crystarium, he orders a lavish feast to eat while talking to you. Even when he meets you in your inn room later on during the main story, he's eating food while talking to you.
33	* CallingTheOldManOut: When his neglectful father threatened to cut off his funding, citizenship, and family ties unless he gave up bounty hunting, Lue-Reeq sends a message telling him, essentially, that he can take his money and shove it.
34	* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Growing up with naught but money and the attention of his wet nurse has left Lue-Reeq desperate to prove himself and find his way in life. He tries to become a bounty hunter in imitation of his childhood hero, but is lousy at it due to spending more time eating and using his wallet than actually honing his skills. It's not until he casts off his family's yoke that he is able to move forward with renewed purpose.
35	* EveryoneHasStandards: He may have hated Lanbyrd, albeit for entirely selfish reasons of feeling that the man was just not the kind of companion he wanted to pay for before Lanbyrd became competitive to [[KickTheDog rub it in his face]], but [[spoiler:seeing the jerk turned into a Sin Eater by Renda-Rae has him horrified and swear to [[MercyKill put them to rest.]] Though he's not above complaining how much of a pain in the ass the resulting fight has Lanbyrd be for it.]]
36	* FamilyOfChoice: After his father thratens to strip him of his money, Eulmoran citizenship, and even his familial ties, Lue-Reeq tells him to shove it, as Olvara is the only woman who has ever shown him any kind of love in all his life.
37	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: One of the bartenders in the Crystarium admits he only puts up with Lue-Reeq because he's loaded, and it's mentioned that several of his "friends" in his childhood only cared about his money. When he "fires" the Warrior for letting Andreia get away a second time, the nicest response the Warrior can come up with is, "Uh... good luck with that.", while the other option is to tell him to piss off.
38	* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:He fights alongside you during the Lakeland portion of The Heroes' Gauntlet.]]
39	* HeroWorshipper:
40	** His wet nurse Olvara regaled him with stories of a peerless bounty hunter who struck down mark after mark with her skill with a bow. It's these stories that inspired Lue-Reeq to become a bounty hunter and take up archery himself to imitate his childhood hero. [[spoiler:These stories turn out to be Renda-Rae's hunts, but Olvara changed the names so Reeq wouldn't be persecuted for idolizing a Warrior of Light. Once he realizes this, he uses his knowledge of Renda-Rae's hunts to predict Andreia's appearances.]]
41	** These stories also inspire him to [[spoiler:turn Andreia's hearing against her by procuring arrows from the Crystalline Mean that act as incredibly loud firecrackers to disable her, allowing him and the Warrior to strike down her Sin Eater protectors so they can take the fight to her.]]
42	* KickTheDog: On the receiving end of the boot, depending on the player's MSQ progression. At the start of the last quest in his series, Lue-Reeq gets disowned by his father. The old man is one of the few characters who behaves ''worse'' after Vauthry is ousted, demanding that Reeq give up being a bounty hunter because he has "acquitted himself poorly" in his career path (read: failed to kill a ''[[TheDreaded Cardinal Virtue]]'' quite yet). [[CallingTheOldManOut Reeq promptly sends a message to his father, telling him to stick his money where the Light don't shine]].[[note]]For context, if the quest is begun while Vauthry is still in power, Reeq is disowned because he's fighting sin eaters, which is forbidden under Vauthry's rule; as a free citizen of Eulmore, Reeq would have ''known'' [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight he was breaking that taboo when he took up the hunt]], making the disownment much more justified from a Eulmoran perspective.[[/note]]
43	* MilesGloriosus: He talks a big game about his skills as a bounty hunter, but he's paralyzed when [[spoiler:he meets Andreia alone face-to-face and realizes that she's turned several of the fellow bounty hunters he once hired into Sin Eaters]]. He then falls on his rear and backs away in horror before Andreia simply turns around and vanishes to another place. He later admits as much to the Warrior, who is completely unsurprised. After the final fight with Andreia, he admits his limits and hangs up his bow to spend more time with Olvara. [[spoiler:In the post-game for ''Shadowbringers'', it's revealed that he's gone back to work to help provide for Olvara, assisting you in the Lakeland portion of the Heroes' Gauntlet.]]
44	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He regrets "firing" the Warrior almost immediately after doing the deed, realizing that it was stupid, pointless, and nonsensical, especially after learning that [[spoiler:Renda-Rae didn't kill Balam-Quitz by herself, but with the help of her fellow Warriors of Light.]]
45	* NamedWeapon: Cry of the Wherewetrice, the bow he inherited from Olvara when he became a hunter.
46	* NoSocialSkills: Beneath his chipper exterior is someone who's painfully lonely and it shows in his social interactions. He barely stops to let others get a word in, is quick to jump to conclusions about others' intentions, and will reject someone just as quickly as he offers them friendship. The reasons for this become clear after you meet his neglectful parents, who couldn't be arsed to show him the barest amount of affection. His old wet nurse Olvara also explains that many of his [[GoldDigger childhood "friends" were only drawn to his wealth]] and quickly abandoned him when his parents withheld his allowance. The way he quickly "befriends" the Warrior before rejecting them after their Echo visions cost them two chances to hunt Andreia demonstrate how he's both desperate for companionship but also terrified of being used again.
47	* ParentalNeglect: His parents were always able to lavish him with wealth and opportunity, but never gave him much in the way of attention or love. By the time of the questline, they've essentially grown ''bored'' of him; the elder Lue is more annoyed than anything at seeing his own son.
48	* ParentalSubstitute: The Hume [[CoolOldLady Olvara]], a former bounty hunter and Reeq's wet nurse, was more of a parent to Reeq than either of his biological parents. Even when he outgrew her services and she was forced to leave Eulmore for Gatetown, she still loves and cares for her "Little Reeq".
49	* PoorCommunicationKills: After the Warrior of Light gets their second Echo vision of [[spoiler:Renda-Rae's past]], Lue-Reeq assumes that they're doing it on purpose to let Andreia get away and angrily "fires" them. Only later does he learn that the Warrior can't control their Echo visions, after which he soon apologizes for his behavior.
50	* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: While he tries to get by in his own merits, it becomes increasingly clear that he's been heavily reliant on the money his parents give him. He doesn't think to ask anyone beyond the Crystarium about Andreia's whereabouts after [[spoiler:he angrily refuses his father's money in an emotional outburst]].
51	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He's a free citizen of Eulmore, but became a bounty hunter when he got bored of the lifestyle. [[spoiler:Following the questline, he intends to continue to help and defend Olvara and the other residents of Gatetown.]]
52	* StepfordSmiler: He acts cheerful and energetic most of the time, but his loneliness and struggle for any kind of validation from his parents show that this is largely a mask he puts on while acting the part of a bounty hunter. He only finds true happiness at the end of his questline, where he stops trying to get his parents' attention and instead devotes himself to protecting the one person who truly loves him.
53	* TheStraightAndArrowPath: He's an archer by trade, toting around an expensive-looking Diamond Bow as his weapon.
54	* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:After arguing with the Warrior of Light, he attempts to fight Andreia. ''Alone''. Thankfully, he survives.]]
55	* UnclePennybags: Gil is no object for Lue-Reeq. He promises ample compensation for helping him hunt Andreia, pays to have others supply him with bait for beast hunting, then treats you to a lavish feast for proving your worth to him, that is until [[spoiler:he stops taking money from his parents, determined to finish the hunt on his own merits.]] Later on, [[spoiler:he offers to buy drinks for himself, Granson, Cerigg, Giott, and the Warrior above Taynor's warnings. Lue-Reeq is astonished to find that [[TheAlcoholic Giott]] drank away a week's worth of earnings in a single meal.]]
56	* UpperClassTwit: Is a bounty hunter, but he isn't very good at it, mainly relying on his wealth to get information while not doing any of the tracking or dirty work himself. [[spoiler:He gets better by the time he faces Andreia.]]
57	* WellDoneSonGuy: It's implied that one of the reasons Lue-Reeq is so insistent on hunting a Sin Eater as dangerous as Andreia is to get ''any'' attention from his neglectful parents, who are too busy drowning themselves in the pleasures of Eulmore to even look him in the eye.
