Balthazar Lune was a man who owned the hot air balloons used during the Great Exhibition. He was a witness in Odie Asman's murder trial.
History[]
Lune was a man who operated hot air balloons at the Great Exhibition in London upon its opening.
Two of the passengers of a hot air balloon of his was were Gotts and Gina Lestrade, who had both boarded mainly for a pleasure cruise. During this hot air balloon ride, he watched Albert Harebrayne's demonstration of his new invention on his volunteer, and the resulting explosion.
Later, he, Gotts, and Lestrade are summoned as witnesses to Harebrayne's trial. While he lost his temper somewhat during his testimony, his eyewitness account proved vital in defense attorney Ryunosuke Naruhodo establishing what had really happened at the scene.
Personality[]
Lune initially gave off a very calm but proud demeanor, speaking very highly of his balloon service. He also initially treated his fellow witness, Gotts, very well, as he was his customer, frequently buying his balloons throughout the trial. However, he would lose his temper and become defensive if his business practices were called into question, becoming more hostile to Gotts (and the country of Bohemia by association) for trying to say his balloons were shoddy. Humorously however, Lune would go back to selling balloons to Gotts almost immediately. The shaky discourse between the two characters occurred throughout their time on the stand.
In the English version of the game, Lune speaks in very slightly broken English with Italian words mixed in with his dialogue, suggesting he may be from Italy.
