Lucas DuCarmont is the boss of the entire Afterlife, being the leader of and watching over The Council as a whole. He's characterized as being a fatherly character to most in The Afterlife, but not portraying many emotions and having a dull, monotone voice. He has great power and doesn't like it but accepts the responsibility of having to be the one to use it. Though he has a scary exterior, he's an understanding and sympathetic man inside.

## Story

### Before Death

Lucas DuCarmont was a man motivated by early German discoveries about the mind from across the sea in America and sought to make developments himself in the new field of psychology. He was inspired to go and analyze the human mind and what made people do what they did. This would inspire him to study the people of New York on his own because they didn't have psychology teachings.

Along the way, he would meet Rex, a man with a mind and condition like he had never seen before. He would be the first case that Lucas would study in his laboratory, analyzing his mind and tendencies as much as he could with his limited knowledge; he would offer Rex a full-time job at his lab when Rex couldn't keep a regular job due to his stealing tendencies. Later, he would decide he needed an assistant and post an assistant ad, which an eager paperboy named Dallas would take up. One day Dallas would do something wrong during an experiment though, and the resulting accident would take Lucas' right eye. Despite that, Dallas and Lucas would perform more experiments on more people and become close, like father and son.

Lucas would go on to further his laboratory and expand his advertisements worldwide, taking in people from as far away as he could as assistants and case studies. In the middle of it, he would temporarily find Max Hawthorne, a married woman, as a partner before being caught and reported by Max's sister-in-law, Beatrice Hawthorne. After being reported, Lucas would be apprehended but refused to give up the names of those who worked with him, taking the secret to his grave as he was executed for his crimes and cruel experiments.

### Afterlife

After his execution and death, Lucas would awaken in The Afterlife, a space between Heaven and Hell. It's there that he would discover that he had complete control of the place, using it as a sandbox and recreating his old home. When others such as Max, Aven, and Rex showed up there too, he would find out with the rest of them that they make up something called The Council of Mental Illnesses, whose job it is to send representatives of mental illnesses to mentally afflict the people who are still alive with their illness, and they were the bosses.

More reps and bosses would show up over the years, but one unfamiliar face to him would be Rian O'Conney, the brother of one of his assistants when he was alive, Bailey O'Conney. Rian would appear out of nowhere as the OCD boss and over time attempt to overthrow Lucas and take over The Afterlife to rule himself but be thwarted by the combined efforts of The Council. This incident left an impact on Lucas though, making him wary of giving one person too much power, which is why he doesn't enter his own true form at all anymore.

Lucas would go on to continue managing The Afterlife smoothly, running it more like a business. He's friendly to the bosses and is willing to listen to even the lowest ranking reps. He makes it a point to not let people ask around about Rian though, because Lucas knows that he's still out there somewhere, and he fears the day he might some way, somehow, make a return.
