Dialogue
On Shing Jea Island:
 * "The name is Lukas of House Vasburg, you seem like a pretty good sort. Why don't you make sure to stay close to me, and you'll learn what it takes to become a legend. That's right, I don't intend to become a mere hero, but truly legendary. Epic, you might say. The crux of the matter, of course, is not just accomplishing your goals but accomplishing them in true style. I will become the greatest of artists and the battlefield will be my canvas. Now, what is it you wanted?"

In the Echovald Forest:
 * "Can you believe that Danika still refuses to notice me? You would have thought I could get her attention after hiring those minstrels. What was that? You think I've made a mistake? Yes of course! The minstrels were rather droll of me, I think it's time to commission a statue~ or perhaps the writing of a play recounting my great deeds! It's hard to decide, perhaps I'll do both. My thanks for the advice, did you need something?"

Quotes
Self promotion on Shing Jea Island:
 * "Who would like to fight by the side of the greatest warrior the world has ever known? That's right don't be intimidated by my prowess!" [sic]
 * "You there! You look like a capable sort, invite me to go with you and you too can take part in forging my legend!"

Idle quotes on Shing Jea Island:
 * "If only Danika were here to see me. In the entire world, only she is truly worthy of me."
 * "It is an honor to fight by my side."
 * "It's a shame they let Luxons into the monastery. Of course they fight fairly well, but no style at all."
 * "You should see how they treat me back home. I don't really like to brag about it, but I am something of a hero. People know me."

Idle quotes in Echovald Forest:
 * "Sometimes when I go into battle I hear music. Of course I paid a lot to commission those songs about me so it is a good thing that the music is so fetching, it sticks in one's head. A true testament to the subject matter!"
 * "We've been through a lot, haven't we? It is times like these that make my soul reflect on courage and loyalty, the sort of bond that develops only between those who have shed blood together. A warrior could never ask for more stalwart followers that I have found in all of you."
 * "With my homeland in peril and crying out for a hero to save the day, what else could I do but return?"

Battle quotes:
 * "Another victory for me!"
 * "I make everything look so effortless."
 * "I'm really left handed!"
 * "Poorly done! Let me show you how to fight with some style!"
 * "Saints of old guide my sword; if I should fall then guide my soul!" (same as Erys, possibly a House Vasburg battle cry)
 * "Sometimes I amaze even myself!"
 * "That was a mightily struck blow, if I do say so myself."
 * "The poets will write epics about this day!"
 * "You will remember this as the day you were defeated by Lukas Vasburg."

Trivia

 * His quote "I'm really left handed!" could be an allusion to the fencing scene from the Princess Bride.
 * His other quote "You will remember this as the day you were defeated by Lukas Vasburg." is probably an allusion to the lines Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) says to multiple other characters in the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy.
 * Also, his quote "Sometimes I amaze even myself" may be a reference to Han Solo's line from Star Wars: A New Hope, after the escape from the Death Star.
 * The ending part of "You should see how they treat me back home. I don't really like to brag about it, but I am something of a hero. People know me" may be a reference to Anchorman.
