Ted does not see Leknaat during Suikoden IV. he was unconscious or something..
Leknaat doesn't "control fate" i think she is able to see it (or multiple fates depending on key choices) and wants to push ppl to follow it (or for the multiple idea, she pushes for a decision that results in "balance" or something).
It is pretty interesting how Leknaat has so much knowledge and "control" over the True Runes.
-may have commanded Soul Eater to absorb the "Guide"
-accessed Soul Eater with her own Gate to retrieve Gremio from world of the dead or something
-unlocked Bright Shield's Forgiver Sign
it's pretty obvious she didn't really have control over the True Wind Rune cuz she had to let Luc go and ruin himself. remember "and what if i try to stop you?" *dink* "you can't, not with your half true rune"
maybe she sensed Luc's sense of person or something, foresaw he would eventually learn so much from the True Wind Rune it would drive him to destroy it and screw up the world, so she stole him to try to teach him stuff (maybe how to control the rune well and appreciate it?). she didn't show him love, though, goddamnit, Leknaat, goddamn!! that's what he never felt until it was too late
maybe the Gate Clan possessed a lot of these runes, and Hikusaak busted it up to try to get some. maybe both of these ppl/groups were trying to "collect them all"
i think Leknaat's purpose, however, is to ensure that the True Runes that find themselves on weak new owners are not put into the wrong hands.
