— A description of Lucien Black's mindset.

**Lucien Marcus** Black (born c. 2003) is a Pure-blood wizard of British and French descent. He is recognized as the last remaining descendant of the House of Black through his paternal side, making him the heir of the Black family's main bloodline.

His childhood was filled with violence and ignorance, being forced to live a life of pain, struggle and constant danger on the streets of London untill his paternal ancestry was found out by the Ministry of Magic at the age of fifteen. The heritage of his mother however, would only become known to him at the age of seventeen, when he helped free his mother Narcissa Lestrange out of Azkaban together with his half-brother Damon Lestrange, Alina Gallagher, Zachary Yalden and his cousin Ethan Deveraux.

Described by most as a true misfit amongst his kin due to his upbringing and acceptance of Muggles and others alike, he also cared little for blood status due to the fact that he was raised in the Muggle world.

As a result of his uneasy childhood Lucien had obtained a twisted perception of morality, not being afraid to do what he seems is neccesary, even if it meant doing that which most would not even think of.

Despite his bitter outlook and his aggresive tendencies, Lucien still aims to look for positivity in life and is described by those close to him as a kind-hearted and loyal person, though cold and merciless to those against him, possessing a killer instinct that has been observed by few.

In his short time of attending Hogwarts Lucien was quickly acknowledged as one of the most brilliant students of his age, despite his short residence and knowledge of the magical world.

He was sorted in Gryffindor house after a near hatstall between Gryffindor and Slytherin, defying his family's tradition of being sorted into Slytherin like his cousin Theodorus Gray had been.

After meeting Damon Lestrange the two quickly developed a brother-like bond with eachother and became involved in multiple problems threatening the school, such as the hunt for **Ilir Xhafa** and the death of **Elyra Pearl**. Lucien also became one of the first members of the refounded Dumbledore's army; a collective of young, powerful and talented wizards and witches who aimed to alter the course of the wizarding world and bring about true change in the corrupt Ministry of Magic aside of training their fellow students in preperation for their future goals. Somewhere in his fifth year Lucien decided to prove his loyalty to Damon by pledging his eternal fealty to him through the Unbreakable Vow.

Earlier that year, **Emma Medina** prophesied through her Inner Eye abilities that Lucien would descend into the Dark Arts soon. This inevitably came to be true as Damon ordered Lucien to murder **Eli Gatti** in cold blood, confirming his loyalty to Damon and signifying his position as his wrath.

## Childhood

Lucien Marcus Black was found at the doorstep of the Wandstead Children's Foundation on 25th of December 2003 in London, England; conceived by Narcissa Lestrange and William Black, unbeknownst to most of the Wizarding world.

Lucien was put into a foster home belonging to a substance abusing man and woman whom rarely took care of Lucien. It forced the young boy to turn to the street life of the neighborhood he grew up in. The streets of Brixton were unforgiving and Lucien ended up joining a streetgang. As a part of their gang, he would begin dealing in weed and crack-cocaine. It would lead Lucien to amass an impressive fortune at a young age. Due to his rowdy childhood and being forced to adapt to a world where money meant power, Lucien was forced to mature early; it is what shaped his identity. Unlike many wizards and witches, Lucien did not recieve his invitation letter for Hogwarts at the age of eleven. It was after he reached the age of fifteen, that employees of the Ministry of Magic found out Lucien was supposedly one of the last remaining members of the ancient House of Black. This would explain all of the incidental and odd things that would happen when Lucien got all riled up.

Lucien was at the age of fifteen still allowed to embark on his study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Despite his study delay, Lucien proved to be a promising wizard as he began developing his magical powers. His study at Hogwarts was like a second chance; a free ticket for another chance a life. He would abandon his criminal past as a gang member but would never get fully rid of his old ways of life. His knowledge on how to handle all sorts of muggle weapons and his short-temper was something that would forever be a part of Lucien. At Hogwarts he was sorted into the house of Gryffindor.

## Life at Hogwarts

In contrast to most wizards who received their Hogwarts letter at the age of eleven, Lucien only received it at the age of fifteen. When his paternal heritage as one of the last remaining members of the House of Black was found out.

During the sorting ceremony Lucien experienced a near hatstall when the sorting hat was contemplating which house would suit him best, he possessed many qualities that would make him an ideal student for both Gryffindor and Slytherin house, proving himself to be as brave and determinated as he was cunning, resourcefull and ambitious.

In the end however, Lucien was sorted into Gryffindor after stubbornly refusing to be put into Slytherin, the reason being that the snake, the symbol of Slytherin house itself, was a symbolism of untrustworthiness from where Lucien came from, defying the House of Black's tradition of being sorted into Slytherin.

Sometime during his fifth year Lucien obtained a passion for wandlore, something he eventually turned into a profession as he started to work as an intern at Ollivanders soon after his supposed interest took off, proving himself to be an incredibly talented Wandmaker after accomplishing many feats such as creating the Wands of Ekrizdis together with his colleague **Cedric Ollivander.**

## Possessions

* **Lucien's first wand**: 13½" long, Lucien's first wand is made from Hawthorn wood and contains a Thestral hair core. Originally manifactured at Ollivander's, Lucien alchemically altered the wand; replacing its core and enhancing the wood material.
* **Lucien's second wand**: 15" long, dubbed as one of two Wands of Ekrizdis, otherwise known as the Wands of Death, is made from Ebony wood and contains a Dementor's cloak fragment core. It is considered a dark natured wand due to its unique core which Lucien obtained during a confrontation with one of the Dementors of Azkaban while freeing his mother Narcissa Lestrange, where he ripped off a part of the Dementor's cloak whilst being attacked by the creature himself, before being saved by Damon Lestrange.
* **Lucien's Goblin-wrought silver switchblade**: Lucien possesses a Goblin-wrought silver stiletto switchblade with a handle made of Elder. The switch blade's length is 12 inches in total with both the switchblade's handle and its blade being 6 inches long. A distinction aside of the blade's unique materials is the L.M.B signature signed onto the beginning of the blade. Like with all Goblin-wrought silver weapons the switch blade repels mundane dirt, meaning it requires no cleaning, it imbides only that which strengthens it. Lucien Marcus Black made a special request to an experienced goblin smith to create the switchblade, aiming to recreate a famous Italian muggle-styled weapon in a magical fashion, which ultimately worked.
* **Black Diary**: A leather-bonded book containing Lucien's knowledge on Wandlore.
* **Deathly Hallows necklace**: Lucien possesses a silver necklace with a symbol of the Deathly Hallows as its pendant. Lucien bought the necklace from Borgin and Burkes sometime during his fifth year at Hogwarts.

## Personality and traits

## Description and appearance

*"One line for every life-line I've ended. I can't see them, I can't feel them, but I know that they'll be with me for as long as I walk this earth.''*

— Lucien regarding his back tattoo.

Lucien is depicted as a tall, well built, darkly handsome person with an olive complexion, emerald green eyes stemming from his mothers side and an air of ''casual elegance'' despite his dominating and sometimes intimidating demeanor. This vestige of aristocratic beauty is apparantly an attribute passed down through the Black Family.

Through the many encounters Lucien has endured in the short span of his time at Hogwarts he has repeatedly been put into life threathening situations where he was critically or near-fatally wounded, scars that would later on show on his upper body and most notably on his back, where scars reside of his survival of a werewolf attack from Alvery Krawczyk.

To remind himself of the lives he has ended in the persuit of his goals Lucien decided to have a tattoo on his back with one strike representing every life he has directly taken, a trait he started practicing after a deep talk with his half-brother Damon Lestrange following the death of their mutual  friend James Pritchett.

## Powers and abilities

Despite having been ignorant of his magical history for most of his life due to having grown up in Brixton as an orphan, Lucien experienced no issues in adapting to the Magical World, proving himself to be one of the brightest and most vicious wizards his age. After embarking on his study at Hogwarts, Lucien immediatly began developing his magical powers. Undergoing cruel and rigorous training by himself and informal mentorship through several students, most notably Regilius Slughorn, who also taught him Occlumency until his expulsion. Through the Fifth year, Lucien had proven himself to be a powerful duellist, evenly matching the likes of Zachary Yalden and Damon Lestrange. All of this despite the many years he spent not knowing of his magical abillity. By many Lucien was considered to be a dangerous and merciless opponent, favoring an agressive duelling style. It reflected his upbringing on the rough streets of South-East London, a place where one had to be ruthless in order to survive. Despite this, Lucien has also shown himself to be calculative and cunning in battle, beating opponents who were to be considered more powerful than him.

During the course of his study Lucien had also proven himself incredibly talented in the fields of Transfiguration and Potion-brewing. His affinity for the brewing of potions showed when he became an Animagus at the age of sixteen in his fifth year at Hogwarts after brewing the highly complex and time-consuming Animagus potion succesfully. His Animagus-form takes to the appearance of a black raven.

He passed his fifth year with outstanding grades in Transfiguration, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy, Mythology and potions as well.

Aside from his magical capabillities, Lucien had proven himself gifted with the operating of guns and appeared to be skilled at the usage of knives in a fight. Even without any of the aforementioned ones, Lucien knew how to manage himself in hand-to-hand combat. All of this by virtue of his former life as an English gang member.
