Lukien's beginning was of a not-so-humble upbringing, being the son of a wealthy land-owner somewhere near the region of Eluesis. Growing up he heard the stories of fame and riches beyond belief, the never-ending battle for power, and even of Gods communicating directly to those of worth. Throughout his youth Lukien never lacked friends with whom to act out his childish, spoiled, games. Never knowing the pains of hunger, or the lonliness of solitude, he came into his teenage years a very sheltered being.
Lukien's first life-changing experience happened at the age of 16. On his father's plantation, a new stable-master was hired, and no one seeing anything more then that people ceased talking about it by the end of the day. A week later, screams of rage and anguish were heard from the plantation in the early hours of the day. Lukien instantly recognized them as the screams of his mother and tore through the house, back to where they had originated: the Stables. Bursting through the door he came upon a room splattered in blood, and the bodies of 3 people: the stable-master, his mother, and his father. Judging by the lack of clothes upon his mother and the stable-master, he was able to determine that his father had walked in upon his mother and the stable-master in the midst of an unforgivable act. What happened next, Lukien could only guess at, but to this day he believes thta his father took their lives, then his own.
Wracked with grief, Lukien boarded himself in his room for days, not answering to anyone, save godmother, Allys. With the help of Allys he recovered the sanity that was almost lost forever, and moved from his father's land, disowning it all, and joined Mercinae.
Because of the trauma Lukien had been through as a teenager, he was left a very troubled being. His first deed that deserves any mention, was joining the Necromancer's guild. Though he tells few this, his driving intent behind this choice was to be able to master death, and through it, life; giving it and taking it from whomever he chose. Lukien threw himself into his profession, soaking up knowledge of the abyss and the afterlife like a greedy sponge. He hungered night and day after the abilities to control life and death, but soon began to lose his morality and all human characteristics. Weaving death for those who chose to thwart him, he made a name for himself among his peers as a fervent, obsessed, fighter that chose not to give up against anyodds. In the midst of this all, his godmother, who had since become his adopted mother, Allys, spirited him away from the lingering taint of darkness that was slowly corrupting him. Lukien recognizing his peril at his current path, denounced the way of the Necromancer and made his way to the Knights guild of Mercinae.
Lukien believes himself a chivalrous defender of his city, battling destructive forces with his body and mind. His obsession with fighting however, has not diminished. If anything, Lukien has siezed the power he now holds and uses it to fuel his addiction even more today. To this day, Lukien still holds himself from the Sadistic whispers in his mind, which unbeknownst to him, are remnants of the Necromancer he once was. This never-ending battle within him constantly effects his actions, often losing his temper and going farther then he should. Lukien hopes one day to be noticed as the extreme of the Merincaen law, dealing death to his precious cities enemies, flirting with Sadism, and giving no quarter to those who seek to harm his friends and family.
Since his parents death Lukien had found no need for friends or loved ones, but now is finding himself becoming close to many of his citymates, and even stops to court a woman of Springdale, whenever her husband isn't around of course...
What the future holds for Lukien, he doesn't know, and frankly doesn't care. He prefers to live in the 'now', making the choices he thinks will affect his life for the greater good of his city now, not just for himself.
