Lucas Blackthorne

Lucas Blackthorne was the only son of Gyles Blackthorne and his wife Anja Rookwood. In 420AE, he murdered his cousin Malcolm in order to claim his seat as the Fifth Lord of House Blackthorne, a feat for which he is remembered as the "Usurper Griffin." In his youth Lucas was a formidable warrior, in contrast to his father's bookishness. He was knighted at the age of 15 and competed often in tourney archery championships; he was considered to be the finest shot in the Realm. His skill made him restive and thrillseeking. He began to perform increasingly greater feats of power; defeating tourney champions, climbing mountains, sailing to uncharted territories, even destroying the race of Lycans that plagued the West. Upon his meeting of the witch Amirai, this aspect of him was twisted and turned against his relatives. He seized power in 420AE and ruled until the return of Malcolm's son Lancelot from Brecilidian exile in 436AE.
As Lord, Lucas was a tyrant. Many courtiers claimed he was manipulated in all actions by his sorceress lover Amirai. Lucas' cruel treatment of his subjects, his poor political leadership and lack of friends led to multiple rebellions against him. The third of these in 436AE caused the man to finally snap; he took Redwing and murdered Amirai, before impaling himself on the blade. He was speerated from his first wife and had no children by Amirai, and thus the Usurper Griffin's legacy was ended.
