Being Swan Swagmire's former classmate and long-time rival, **Langley Lancelot Lewis Langston** serves as the secondary antagonist of Scarlet Swan. He is a distant relative of the actual Jack the Ripper, and is a follower of Jaxon Taylor, Jack's clone who was made by Daryll Dupain. Before Jaxon, Langley was the one being the thief of Swan Lane.

Langley Langston is an alter-ego of Lucas Hale in the webisodes but is portrayed by Austin Dy in the film.

## **History**

Not much is known in Langley's backstory aside from being a descendant of Jack the Ripper. Langley is also mentioned many times to be Swan's bully and former classmate who's a delinquent- getting in trouble as much as he can. He got into juvie for something that he did when he was only 10, and him and Swan lost touch of each other during that time. They see each other again and was at each other's throats when the two are 14.

## **Personality**

Unlike other bullies, Langley is known to be amused with Swan as she is tough to tease and bully. Although he often finds it annoying that she fights back unlike their schoolmates, he admits he likes a good and fair competition. Langley doesn't always admit to his wrong doings, but either becomes defensive or vulnerable when he does (i.e. becomes defensive at Miles when he caught him red-handed, and admitting to Swan he was on the wrong side of things and that he went too far).

Even with his bad and obscure ways, Swan and Miles believe there's still some good left in him and that Langley is only pressured because of what society thinks of him. He has a soft spot for their friendship and hints that he also wants to be a part of it, but since his pride stops him, he becomes hesitant. It wasn't until the near end of the film that he apologizes to the both of them and asks them to be their friend who turned to a new leaf.

## **Physical Appearance**

Being Irish, Langley has a mop of red hair which he usually brushes up, especially when he's posing as his criminal self. He has blue eyes and some freckles across his cheeks and nose. He stands for about 5 feet and 7 inches tall.

As Lance Lewis, he brushes his red hair down with his bangs covering his forehead, and he has thin rimmed black glasses. He wears a blue sweatshirt over a white button-up shirt, and finishes off with a black necktie. He wears black slacks and leather shoes, opting for a "smart" casual look.

He wears a black crewneck shirt under a leather vest with silver zippers when posing as Langley Langston, and he wears a fingerless glove on his left hand. He has black jeans on with black boots for footwear. Langley combs his hair back and loses his glasses.

## **Trivias**

* What Swan meant when she says she has Langley to thank for her name, it's because Langley is bullying her and that she fights back with what their classmates say is "swagger". If it weren't for Langley, she'd still be called "Odette/Swan Quagmire".
* Austin Dy initially planned to give Cj Sanchez the role of Langley since he doesn't want to be a part of it, but because Cj said he has no plans being in Scarlet Swan, Austin eventually agrees to do the role.
* Langley's backstory is as the same as Megamind's, a character from the film with the same title. Both didn't start of as exactly "bad guys", but are rather forced into doing it because of pressure (Langley's ancestor being Jack the Ripper, and Megamind being constantly compared to Metro Man),
* Him and TWICE Songfix Series' Noah Dalton are so far the only ones mentioned in the whole Chrysalis bibliography to have been in a juvenile detention center at some point in their life.
	+ Out of all projects of Chrysalis, Langley is the only character so far to not be portrayed by the main cast of Chrysalis in a major project (although he did ask Cj Sanchez to sub for him but never did).
* Swan calls him "Batman" because he's an orphan (even if she's an orphan herself), and calls her "Ariel", "Anne (of Green Gables)", and "Merida" because of his hair and eye color, as well as being of Scottish descent.
