A very serious convict sent by the Pope of Tethe'alla to capture Colette. He ends up joining the party because he recognizes Presea. As it turns out, Regal is actually the president of the Lezerano Company, a major corporation which is quite influential in Tethe'alla. He and Alicia Combatir, Presea's sister, were in love, which is why he recognized Presea. Alicia became a victim of Exsphere research, and was turned into a monster because of it. Regal was forced to slay her as she begged him to do so. He could never forgive himself for this, and turned himself in to prison. Regal always wears handcuffs to symbolize his crime and his promise that he will never use his hands to kill again. Regal is a kind and gentle soul, and a very talented cook (unusual, given the only free appendages he has are his feet, which become something of a joke at one point). Despite his kindness, Regal is extremely hard on himself, thinking his crime unworthy of any forgiveness. Regal shows in one cutscene that he can shoot powered energy blasts from his fists. Regal is very content with being alone, although he does enjoy company and conversation, especially with Lloyd. His emotions are almost always very subdued. Regal is a fighter, supplementing his melee capabilities with a small amount of healing (chi) magic. He fights exclusively with his feet, and uses greaves to enhance the power of his kicks. He is clearly the pinnacle of manliness; throughout the game he displays his strength, wisdom and honor (even as one of his titles, aptly named 'Testosterone' states). According to him, before he donned his trademark shackles, Regal mainly fought using his hands -- and his strength and mastery of this previous style far surpassed those of the Traubel style he uses throughout the game.

The word "regal" means royal, magnificent, or stately, which suits Regal's presidency in the Lezareno Company.
