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 short, stocky Reploid that wears a coat and hat. Cedar is a slender Reploid with long purple hair that wears a long black jacket.

History
Aluce and Cedar were planning to trade the special S-class illegal product "Virus Program Σ-02", but Snipe Anteator discovered that they would make the trade in a building from Point RD13-29, resulting in Red Alert going after them. Cedar goes to investigate the sound of an explosion, 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 reunited with 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 morphs revealing himself to be Axl. Aluce dies shocked at Axl's copying abilities.
