All character ancestors in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

As the first spin-off of its kind, Pokémon Legends: Arceus tells the story of the world hundreds of years before the mainline games. Arceus, in particular, focuses on ancient Sinnoh—known as the Hisui region in the game.

However, it isn’t just Sinnoh that will have its history revealed, but the people who live in it as well. Notable Sinnoh characters such as Cynthia, Lucas, and Dawn, whose families have lived in Sinnoh forever, have roots that can be traced back to Hisui. If you’re interested to know more about them, below are all character ancestors we know about in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Rei and Akari

Rei and Akari are Lucas and Dawn’s ancestors, and it’s hard not to see the resemblances. Both sport the same hairstyle, eye color, and even fashion choice.

Volo

If Champion Cynthia had an older brother, he would most definitely look like Volo. Volo shares much of Cynthia’s traits, from his penchant for traveling to his never-ending curiosity. Volo is one of the Ginkgo Guild’s merchants, so you’ll see him often in-game.

Commander Kamado

Commander Kamado is no doubt Professor Rowan if he were a little younger. The mustache and stern demeanor checks out, after all. Moreover, not only is Kamado the well-respected leader of the Galaxy Expedition Team, but he’s also locally known for his research on Pokémon evolution. Sound familiar?

Captain Cyllene

The Galaxy Expedition Team is divided into three teams: the Survey Corps, Security Corps, and Medical Corps. Captain Cyllene heads the Survey Corps, which is in charge of discovering new Pokémon in hopes of creating a complete Pokédex.

But most importantly, the hairstyle, face, and eye design strongly resembles Team Galactic leader Cyrus. And you’d be right—she’s his ancestor!

Warden Arezu

If you’ve ever played any of the Diamond and Pearl games, then Commander Mars’ appearance should be a familiar one—and so should Arezu’s. They look alike, after all! Arezu is a Warden or a special Pokémon Trainer tasked with monitoring Noble Pokémon.

Warden Mai

Throughout the Diamond and Pearl games, five different trainers offer to join you in five different maps. Marley, who you encounter in Victory Road after completing the National Pokédex, is one of them. She very closely resembles Warden Mai. In fact, Marley’s Japanese name is blatantly “Mai,” further proving her ancestral relationship with the Warden.
