SECRET:
- Lucian was once a human, though he does not tell many this secret, as it is something scorned upon by the other vampires and he would rather avoid their insults.

- While most noble vampires are proud to be what they are, Lucian is disgusted with himself. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that he was not always a vampire, but rather a human turned vampire.

PERSONALITY: Lucian is known to act stoic, and it is often difficult to tell what emotions he is actually feeling. He is not someone who likes to share his inner thoughts with others, and unless someone decides to pester him about it, he keeps his inner turmoil to himself, thinking it best not to talk about his worries and concerns.

He has a bit of a temper. There are many things that irritate him, and while most of the time he is good at hiding it, every so often he will snap. When this happens, it is best for people to keep their distance and give him some time alone. He calms down fairly quickly, and almost always feels ashamed for his outbursts. He struggles apologizing though, and often sulks around for a while before working up the courage to say sorry.

Lucian is an intellectual, and he prefers to associate with others of the same stature. He detests being around idiots, viewing himself as better than most. It’s a bit contradicting, because while he thinks of himself as a bloodthirsty monster, he acts like he is superior, walking with his head held high.

Often depressed, Lucian uses writing as an escape. He almost always has a pen in his hand, and can often be found seated at his desk. He is a quiet man, and he does not speak with many people, keeping himself locked up inside. While he does not openly admit it, he hates what he is, he hates being a vampire, and he can often be found gazing out the window, longing for the warmth of the sun, for the days he lost.

HISTORY: Lucian was not always a vampire. He started life as a human in the small town of Ravenwood, born to a rather poor family. His childhood wasn’t very pleasant, as his parents often neglected him, leaving him on his own for long periods of time. Lucian had a younger sister who he was very close to. Unfortunately, she was killed in the night the vampires attacked.

The village was a small one, and on the outskirts of the woods, making it a perfect target for the creatures of the night. The vampires raided the small village silently, taking humans from their homes and feasting on them. It was a massacre, a bloodbath. Somehow, Lucian survived the attack. He did not escape completely unharmed though. He had been bitten.

Lucian was bitten that night. When he woke up, he found that he had been taken to a medical clinic. He was kept there for a few days, too weak to move, recovering from the severe blood loss, from the transformation that was taking place in his body. It didn’t take him long to discover that he wasn’t a medical patient, but a lab rat. He had been taken here by the vampire hunters that were assigned to clean up the mess, and he quickly discovered that they were watching him, waiting.

Lucian took it upon himself to escape. He knew what had happened, that he had been bitten, and the fear made him run. Sometimes he looks back and wishes he would have stayed. Maybe those people would have helped him, or at least ended his suffering, his life. That was not what happened though, and instead Lucian found himself fleeing into the woods. At first things weren’t so bad, but as the weeks dragged on, a hunger rose in him, one that could not be cured with any amount of food, and eventually, Lucian had to kill.

Knowing that he was a danger, Lucian tried to keep away from the towns, sticking to abandoned roads and the forest. He had a darker side to him now though, one he could not control, and every now and then he would snap, lose himself, and he would take another life. He tried ending his life many times, but nothing seemed to work. He still felt the pain, but he would not die, he couldn’t. He was scared, as he’d heard terrifying things about humans that were bitten by vampires, turned. He’d heard they were even more vicious, even more dangerous. So, for one hundred long years, he wandered the land, hopping from town to town, trying desperately to get control of himself, of his thirst, his hunger.

Eventually, Lucian settled down. He made his new home in the City of Redwall, taking his place as a noble. Where he got the money is a mystery, and he refuses to tell anyone. He is trying to live a new life now, one without killing, without death. He has taken a human in as a bit of a pet, a blood servant. It was part of a new peace movement among the vampires, and was becoming quite common in the present day. The vampires who believed in keeping peace took a blood servants, humans that would provide them with what they needed; blood. That way, the vampires would not kill, they would not take unnecessary lives.

And so, this is how Lucian has been living his life for the past year. He likes to think that he is changed, but he knows that he is still a monster. He has not taken a human life in almost twelve months now, but he knows that could change at any moment. Accidents happen. Still though, he is trying to tame the beast within him.
