Lunpa used to be a noble thief who travelled the world collecting treasures. Almost a hundred years prior to the start of the game, he was sailing with Babi in the Eastern Sea. However, there was a great flood that washed their ship into Lemuria. They spent time in Lemuria with the citizens of the city. After some time, Babi took one of the Lemurians' ship and set sail out of Lemuria with some of their draught. However, Lunpa continued to stay in Lemuria and has not seen the outside world since. He also gave up his ways as a thief.
While Babi became old and weak, Lunpa has remained young and physically fit, even learning to use a little Psynergy though he is not an Adept. He lives in a house by himself in Lemuria and has a good relationship with King Hydros of Lemuria. Like Hydros, Lunpa believed the world was in decline and his map of Weyard from a hundred years before helped to show evidence along with Piers's research.
Lunpa the town in northern Angara was named after him. Lunpa is appalled to learn that his grandson Dodonpa is ruling it while resorting to evil ways and wonders why his son Donpa is letting him get away with it, not realising that Donpa has become a very old man in his absence.
While Lunpa and the King have a good relationship, Lunpa does not see eye to eye with the Senate, especially Conservato, since he believes they are stubborn to not see that the world is declining. He and Hydros encourage Felix and company to light the lighthouses as soon as possible, and gives Felix the Grind Stone which allows him to enter the Western Sea.
