Lucian Dermanche

A former arcane advisor to House Canith, and the former Minister of Arcana for Lord Wolton. Lucian now serves on Ivellios' council as his resident Minister of Necromancy. He is also served by the tea and biscuit obsessed skeleton: Gunter.
Lucian Dermanche left his position and the kingdom of Awbor after being shown to be inferior by the Hindenburg Ground Crew, after he unknowingly allowed a member of the Lords of Dust into the inner circle of House Canith.
Since leaving Awbor, Lucian has set himself up as the chief arcane advisor to the kingdom of Bruxia, and has been given the town of Potterdown as a reward for his services. 
The Unnamed Party met with Lucian in his tower outside of Ravensdawn; there they discussed their plan to take down Lord Wolton. Lucian was mainly interested in continuing his research and agreed to help the party if it meant he could continue his work. 
He assisted the party in their fight against Sir Byrant, by keeping the guards of Ravensdawn distracted, and later helped them in their final battle against Lord Wolton. He even fought against Father Inorias and helped stop the war between Bruxia and Rylandaria. 
Following the end of the war between Rylandaria and Bruxia, Lucian was asked to serve on Ivellios' new cabinet as his Minister of Necromancy - where he researches forbidden tomes inside his bone tower. 
He also was entrusted with guarding a piece of the Orb Of Storms, though he later gave it to Ivellios to stop him pestering him. 
== History ==
A gifted wizard, even from an early age, Lucian Dermanche quickly rose to prominence in the town of Stowerling. He caught the attention of Asinar Canith, the head of House Canith, who offered in a position as an arcane advisor and part of his inner circle. 
It was Lucian's role as part of the inner circle to recruit other powerful and ambitious individuals to help further the goals of House Canith. To this end, he recruited Helga Aythana and the twins, Numbers and Wrench. 
Everything was going well until the involvement of the Hindenburg Ground Crew; they freed the prisoner, Rudolf Vidal from right under Lucian and his team's nose. His men and he proved unable to recover the prisoner and so displeased Asinar Canith. 
Lucian was further humiliated when it was revealed at the War Council of Awbor, that Helga Aythana, was in fact a rakshasa working for the Lords of Dust. 
After both of these failings, Lucian was cast out from House Canith. He wandered through Awbor and No Man's Land until he came upon the kingdom of Bruxia to the south. They were seeking ambitious magic users to help them grow in political might, and Lucian willingly helped out, by helping them establish platoons of dead soldiers with rudimentary intelligence to help bolster their army. 
For his efforts, Lucian was awarded the position of Minister of Arcana to the kingdom of Bruxia, and ownership of the town of Potterdown, to govern as he pleased.
