Personality
Not much is known about Larue's personality other than he shares Suguru Geto's ideology and considers all members of their group as family. He stopped a squabble between Nanako Hasaba and the other remnants of their group because Suguru wouldn't want his family fighting. Larue didn't believe either side was wrong and told everyone to go their separate ways. He made it clear that he just wanted Suguru to become king and promised the day will come when they reunite.[2]
Synopsis
Cursed Child Arc
Larue attends a meeting along with other commanders of Geto. He then infiltrates the Jujutsu High along with Geto, Nanako and Mimiko Hasaba. He then hears Geto proclaiming war on the Jujutsu Society before being interrupted by Nanako. He and the others then leave for a restaurant.
At some point of time Larue allied himself with Yuki Tsukumo.
Shibuya Incident Arc
Before the Shibuya Incident, Geto's followers (with the exception of Miguel) were discussing their course of action. While Nanako and Mimiko disagree with following the imposter Geto, Manami Suda and Toshihisa Negi agree to follow him as his goal is similar to their master's. However before they could fight Larue stops them and tells them that none of them were wrong and then tells them that he too wanted to see Geto as a king just like Miguel. He also tells them that they can go their separate ways and that they will one day meet again, and once again share a meal together.
While Yuki confronts Kenjaku, Larue takes this opportunity to rescue Aoi Todo, Mai Zenin and Kasumi Miwa.[3]
Shinjuku Showdown Arc
During the month of preperation for Satoru Gojo and Sukuna's fight, Larue and Yuta Okkotsu met with Miguel, requesting that after Gojo is defeated to help fight Sukuna. Miguel vehemently refuses this request prompting Larue to tell Yuta to leave so he can talk to Miguel alone. Larue speaks to Miguel on how they both wanted Geto to be king along with the other members of Geto's family to which he proposes that they fight Sukuna as a way of "mourning" their fallen comrades, Miguel finally agrees to Larue's request on the condition that they fight after Sukuna can no longer use his domain and after Gojo and Yuta lose.
On December 24th, Larue and Miguel join the fight against Sukuna with Larue rescuing a defeated Atsuya Kusakabe, from the King of curses, then two then engage with the king of curses with Larue using cursed technique Heart Catch to crush Sukuna, however after more allies join the fight against Sukuna he strikes Larue with a Black Flash.[4] Miguel then went to recover Larue telling him it was best to pull out of the fight, though Larue had another idea. Larue activated Cutie Honey on Sukuna's heart that forced him into keeping his eyes on Larue long enough to allow Yuji to strike the king of curses with a Black Flash.[5] Miguel thanked Larue for his help, where he then responded that he was close to going into heaven, however at the same time Sukuna activated an incomplete Malevolent Shrine.[6] Though the two were transported to safety presumably by Aoi Todo or Ui Ui. Sometime following Sukuna's defeat and death, Larue and Miguel over heard Maki berating Yuta, for them not showing up sooner.[7]
Abilities and Powers
Overall Skill: Larue is a capable sorcerer, seeing that he was one of Suguru Geto's former commanders and was likely involved in the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. He is durable enough to survive a Black Flash from Sukuna.[8]
