BACKSTORY (Lucian was born in 1348 in Italy, in the midst of the devastating spread of the Black Death. The son of a humble family, he grew up surrounded by misery and death. From childhood, his life was marked by tragedy: his mother died giving birth to him and his father, a merchant, fell ill and died when he was barely ten years old. With no one to claim him, he was given to a monastery, where the monks raised him in faith and discipline.

During the Black Plague, when Lucian was only trying to save the sick in an act of kindness, he contracted the disease.

For months, he suffered the ravages of the plague, watching his skin become covered in sores and his body weaken to the point of blindness. But even then, he continued to pray. He believed his suffering was a divine test. That, if it was God's will, he would accept his death with humility.

But God was not the one who answered his prayers.

The night he was due to die, Lord Anton Von Hartmann arrived at his deathbed. The vampire watched the young monk with curiosity, fascinated by his spiritual strength. He saw in him something more than just a devout human… he saw a possible heir. A son.

Then he bit him and days later Lucian had already been completely converted but his blindness was still there.

Lord Anton Von Hartmann together with his "children" years later, to unite them: Sebastian, Lilian, Evangeline and Lucian. Lucian found it difficult to trust these new people, now his adopted siblings, but he did.

One day the siblings betrayed Lord Anton von Hartmann and fled to Ravenshade, changing their last name to Duskborne.
