Story

Kingdom Hearts

In the first Kingdom Hearts game, his world was destroyed and Belle was captured, and Beast went on a journey to find her. It is believed that Lumiere and his friends disappeared when their world was attacked by the Heartless. Lumiere does not make any other appearance other than on the Beauty and the Beast platform in the Awakening in the first Kingdom Hearts.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Lumiere's role in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is similar to that of Cogsworth. Both of them patrol the castle and keep watch for intruders.

Kingdom Hearts II

First Visit

After the events of Kingdom Hearts, the world of Beast's Castle was restored, Beast locked his servants in the dungeons after Xaldin came and tried to turn him into a Heartless. When Sora and the others came, they freed the servants and helped them save Beast from turning into a Heartless. Lumiere and the others showed them a shortcut to the Beast's room.

Second Visit

When Belle and Beast try to form a party to forget about what happened, Xaldin attacked again, and stole the Beast's precious rose. Then Lumiere, Cogsworth and Mrs. Potts told the heroes about the importance of the rose - Beast's last hope of finding love before the last petal falls from the rose.

Lumiere is then last seen observing the romantic dance between the Beast and Belle after Xaldin was defeated and the rose was returned safely. It is assumed that after Sora defeated Xemnas at The World that Never Was, Lumiere got back his human form (considering that the Beast got his human form back).

Abilities

• Lumiere has no specific abilities but he is able to light the three lamps in the Secret Passage in Beast's Castle with the help of Cogsworth and alongside Sora and Mrs. Potts.

Quotes

"Is this the spot?" (When lighting the lamps in the Secret Passage)

Trivia

• Lumiere's name is the French word for "light", apt for his role as a candlestick, though in the French language, this word is grammatically feminine. It may be a reference to the Lumière brothers who created the first moving pictures.
