Lucas Dunmore

**Lucas Dunmore** is an ex-noble and associate of the Cobalt Caravan. He's the ex-lover of both Cal and Hadiya, and the father of Hadiya's child, Zara.

## Description

### Appearance

Lucas is white, around average height, and has a chin-length bob of straight black hair. His current wardrobe hasn't been described, but presumably is basic, everyday gear, perhaps of slightly higher quality due to his noble history. He carries a rapier and a spellbook. He also carries a quarterstaff.

When wearing his amulet of disguise, Lucas appears to be an elven man.

### Personality

Lucas is foolhardy, stubborn, and arrogant but well-meaning. Although having matured since his younger days as a noble, he remains somewhat clueless and out-of-touch with everyday people. To this day, he doesn't have a good sense of how much money is worth, and he's known to occasionally make rash or reckless decisions without communicating to the people who might be most impacted by them.

After meeting Hadiya in Letheril's Forge, he showed much of his arrogance, seemingly unable at times to see the folly of his actions. However, after talking to Hadiya and Cal, he has shown more emotional maturity and proven that he is largely capable of being a good father to Zara, all things considered.

## Biography

### Background

Lucas was a member and the heir of the Dunmore noble family. During his youth, he attended a Wizard boarding school and met Cal, where the two became very close and harbored romantic feelings for each other, although seemingly never acted significantly on them. After graduation, Lucas and his family invited Cal to live with them as a guest, as Cal's own family didn't want him.

After Cal was framed for the murder of Lucas' brother, Sam, Lucas told Cal to leave. Later, he discovered that his parents had been murdered by his uncle, who had framed Cal and Lucas. Sam had survived but was badly scarred. In fear of his life, Lucas grabbed what he could and fled, going into disguise. After a failing search for Cal, he ran to Lagash by offering to work on a merchant ship, where he met Hadiya in Uruk. The two spent a month in a fling, resulting in Hadiya's pregnancy (unknown to Lucas at the time). After getting cold feet, he fled again. His actions for the next 10 or so years are currently unknown.

10 years later and running out of money, he felt regret for his behavior towards Hadiya and went to make amends. Upon returning to Uruk, he discovered that Hadiya was on a trip in Sovereign, and learned of the existence of his previously unknown child, Zara. After convincing Hadiya's weary father, Rasheed, he left with Zara to find Hadiya. He had amulets of disguise made for himself and Zara, and they travelled in elven disguises.

## Cobalt Caravan

When the Cobalt Caravan was staying in Letheril's Forge, Lucas arrived at the inn. There, he discovered Cal as well. Tensions were initially high, as both Hadiya and Cal were angry, Hadiya especially for the fact he had brought Zara across the dangerous pass. Eventually, tensions lowered after multiple discussions, especially between Hadiya and himself. It took longer for Cal to warm up to him, and Lucas later admitted he still loved Cal.

Presently, he is the main caretaker of Zara, and he is working with Hadiya to find more stable housing for himself and Zara.
