Aluce and Cedar

Aluce (アルス) and Cedar (シーダ) are two minor characters seen at the start of Mega Man X7. Aluce is a Reploid with short legs that wears a coat and hat, and Cedar has long hair and wears a long black jacket. They were planning an unknown illegal scheme before being attacked by Red Alert. Cedar goes to investigate, only to be killed. Aluce, hearing the gun shot, retreats further into the building, and when he reaches a safe room, notes that someone must have leaked their plans to authorities. He is then confronted by Cedar, and the two make their escape. Walking down a hallway, Aluce ponders who leaked their plans, only to be shot by Cedar. Aluce asks if Cedar is the traitor, but he reveals himself to be Axl, and his accomplice was killed by him. Aluce dies shocked at Axl's copying abilities.

Trivia

 * Aluce has a cigar in the Japanese version of the game, which was removed in the North American and European versions.
