Rivals Cardemonde

Voiced by: Noriaki Sugiyama (Japanese), Brian Beacock (English)

Rivals Cardemonde (リヴァル・カルデモンド, Rivaru Karudemondo?) is one of Lelouch's friends, usually driving Lelouch around on his motorbike as an ante for their bets on chess games. He has a part-time job as a bartender/waiter and carries unrequited love for Milly Ashford, especially when it is announced that she is going through a marriage interview. Shown in-series and in the DVD-exclusive bonus material, Rivals forms a fast friendship with Suzaku after he joins the student council at Lelouch's request. Rivals's real surname is not Cardemonde, which is his mother's maiden name that he uses after his parents became estranged. He was born and partially raised in California.
