Lux is the overarching protagonist of Super Mario Bros: Heroes of the Stars.

He is the entity responsible for the creation of the Universe and nearly all of its lifeforms. He is also who created The Star Gods, Aeons, star sprites and star spirits. He created the aeons to aid the Star Gods for the creation of every planet in the universe, until Tenebris corrupted all the aeons, but Orion fought by Lux’s side in order to defeat the dark aeons and Lux made the heroic sacrifice to imprison Tenebris in the Dark Star. However, unbeknownst to everyone, his spirit reincarnated in a Apricot Luma and met Rosalina, even calling her "mama”.

While he is in his Luma form, he is voiced by Yuya Takezawa, and when he was in his true form, he is voiced by Patrick Seitz, who also voiced Artanis from the Starcraft franchise.

History
Lux was born during the creation of the first sun. He, along with the Beings of Unimaginable Light created the star gods, star spirits and angel like beings called Aeons to complete the universe, until they came for the dark regions of space where an unconquerable evil named Tenebris dwells. Tenebris poisoned the Aeons, turning them into daemoniums, chaos had reigned, but fortunately one Aeon remained incorruptible, his name was Orion. With Orion’s help, the star sprites sealed the daemoniums into the dark realm, later on, Lux committed a heroic sacrifice to imprison Tenebris in a sphere with a star using the last of his powers to do so. The Star Spirits, fulfilling their creator’s final wish, hide the object which it would be known as The Dark Star in a planet that is the mushroom world.

Personality
Lux is a very wise and benevolent being who wishes to spread love and peace throughout the Universe. He is unquestionably loving, compassionate and understanding towards those whom he seeks out, as well as to other people and even animals. By the time the Beings of Unimaginable Light reveal their plan to destroy Tenebris with Spear of Gaia, Lux, instead of accepting it, he was clearly against the idea since it would also eradicate all life in the universe itself, even angrily proclaiming them as becoming like Tenebris. Lux was very determined to save the universe by any means if it is necessary as he sacrificed himself to imprison Tenebris.
Following his reincarnation as a Luma, Lux spent several centuries traveling amongst humans and grew to love and cherish them, even deeming them as capable of nobility, courage, and care for anyone else besides themselves.. This was evident with his relationship with Rosalina, seeing her as the mother he never had, and he loved his Luma siblings.

Trivia
• Lux, along with Tenebris and the Beings of Unimaginable Light, is by far one of the most oldest characters in the Super Mario Bros franchise as they existed before the beginning of the universe.
• He is inspired in God from all three major monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam).
