Interesting topic, I actually make an effort to find as much Trickster lore as I can so I´ll summarize things, but before I do 2 quick things:

A) A lot of interesting and some plot critical things are recorded in the several books that are found in-game, most of their contents are in the wiki so check them out

B) There's no nice way to put this so I'll just say it; SnowBerry, sorry but your summaries are very inaccurate an a lot is wrong in them

OK, I’ll summarize chapters based mostly on the main story
That is to say Don Cavalier's story, Alteo empire's story and everything that relates to them directly; other pieces of information I’ll put in Fun Facts; any info that I put in Fun Facts is only a small amount of the lore that doesn't relate to the main story arc, so a lot will be left out

Also remember, this are summaries so I keep things short, also I sorta the made the "episode names" up in order to give you an idea of the content of each

Here we gooooo

Episode: -1 On What Happened Before Caballa or Foxy Plot Relevance

Episode: 0 The Search For A Statue or Nobody Likes Don Giuvanni

Episode: 1 Legends Of Caballa or Desperately Looking For Artifacts

Spoiler!

Finding a beautiful but old necklace the character decides to restore it , while doing so he finds a painting of a beautiful woman named Nefertiti and hears the legend that surrounds her: “The young queen of Femeia she was so gorgeous that the terrible monster Enkicladus fell in love with her, after she rejected him, Enklicadus kidnapped her and took her to the bottom of the ocean but the god Poseidon found about this and slayed Enkicladus, when Poseidon saw Nefertiti, he fell in love with her and took her to his kingdom to be his wife.”

Along with this legend, the character finds out that Love Hunter Robin is the rightful owner of the necklace, when giving it back to Robin and hearing some cryptic comments from him, the character is instructed to go deliver Nefertiti’s portrait to Rosaline Gracia, Don Giuvanni’s fiancée, in Megalopolis. Rosaline tells the character that the painting feels familiar somehow and gives him a mysterious old scroll send to her by an unknown person with instructions for her to go to Caballa; the scroll contains a more detailed version of Nefertiti’s story, most relevantly it said that the statue Poseidon’s Blessing was created as a gift from Poseidon to Nefertiti, that Nefertiti’s descendants could control to power of a mythical mineral called Harkon and where heroes that where given the title of Tricksters, that the kingdom that Poseidon took Nefertiti to was called Alteo, and that the Nereids the sisters of Amphitrite the wife of Poseidon who he left for Nefertiti tried and failed to kill her yet managed to destroy the Alteo Empire in revenge.

Investigating the leads given by this document, the character finds an old box from Alteo, looking for pieces to complete and open it he find about the rumors of a mysterious island said to be a mirage, after gathering all the missing pieces and opening the old altean box the character obtains a document which explains more about the holy stone Harkon, about Hephaistos whom Poseidon asked to make Poseidon’s Blessing, about the 16 guardians created to protect Nefertiti and the ones who hid the statue after Alteo’s fall, and about Janus the first guardian who was made with a gift from the Nereids and who eventually left Nefertiti’s side due to his anger filled heart

After a few more adventures the character finds some of this legendary Harkon and eventually a fairy sealed in a huge piece of it which apparently only he can see and hear

Fun Facts

Spoiler!

Next one is pretty long so I’ll add it and the next chapters to this post later
