## Personality

As a static character, Lance does not have very much development through the series, but instead features a deep personality that leaves people confused as to what he's thinking or how he's going to act.

More specifically, Lance is typically very cautious and kind, but is also very judgmental and can be selfish at times. Throughout the series, he aids in the development of numerous characters such as Zane, Lagann, Jay and Mio.

## Background

Five years before the events of the series, Lance's mother died in an experiment that killed the lives of every scientist working on the project. After struggling on for three years, and failing to do well in subjects such as school — with the exception of science — Lance killed himself, though how he did so is unknown.

Before his soul could slip away, he was visited by Lucifer, the King of the Underworld himself, who decided to give him another chance in life as a devil, before placing him into Black Crown alongside Amber.

From there, he pursed in science just as his mother did, hoping to one day to create brew something that could cure every illness known to both the mortal and magical world. One year before the event of the series, an accidental experiment mixed with magic and chemicals caused his hair to become green-tinted.

* **Kristina Kaye:** As people with tragic backstories, both Lance and Kristina understand how the other feel and respect each other for overcoming their hardships

* **Lagann / Kieron Bernard:** After Kieron first joined Black Crown, Lance helped him understand that he wasn't at fault for being brainwashed into becoming an assassin at the church, being one of the main reasons he turns a new leaf
