Lucas Wykes/Relationships

## Wykes Family

### Otis Vayhur Wykes

Otis is Lucas’s father. While the two have not been seen interacting, it can be inferred that they are not very close by his father’s reaction towards Lucas death. Lucas is the son of Otis’s elf slave, whom he created for the sole purpose of increasing the power of the Wykes family. Otis sees his son more of as a tool and less as his child, though as a son of their noble house, he spoiled him greatly and would ensure that anyone who harmed him would be met with severe consequences, though this was more for the image and dignity of the Wykes House rather than out of concern for his son.

### Bairon Wykes

Bairon is Lucas’s older half-brother. Based on their interactions, it is apparent that they do not have a normal sibling relationship. While Lucas always shows arrogance and disrespect to those around him, Bairon seems to be the only person Lucas fears as he will tremble in Bairon’s presence. Lucas seems to have an inferiority complex towards his brother, as his brothers mere presence is a stark reminder of how weak he is in comparison with Bairon, a well-accomplished mage and one of the six Lances of Xyrus. Bairon seems rather cold towards his younger brother as his stares at Lucas seem to be filled with judgement. Nevertheless, he was devastated when his brother died, to the point that he tried to kill his brother’s murderer. Unfortunately for him, he was intercepted by the other Lances, hence why Arthur survived the encounter. However, it turns out that he actually was more angered by the fact that a commoner dared to disgrace his family than by his brothers death, as Bairon mentioned himself.[*citation needed*]

## Enemies

### Arthur Leywin

Arthur is a student of Xyrus Academy, as well as Lucas's archenemy, though their feud began long before the two attended Xyrus Academy. During his years as an adventurer, Lucas was admitted alongside a fellow rookie adventurer named Note, though he was jealous of Note's power as he was able to fight evenly with the Adventurer's Guild Master Kaspian Bladeheart. During their years as adventurers, the animosity between them grew, though it never amounted to anything more than snide remarks from Lucas. However, this all changed during their last mission as adventurers, where the two were assigned to the same party to explore a dungeon. Lucas chose to sacrifice and abandon his party rather than assist them in defeating the boss monster and escaping together. Once reunited after escaping the dungeon, Note immediately cut Lucas's ear with his dagger, but restrained himself so as not to cause any more problems for his friends and himself. During the ensuing hearing, Lucas managed to escape punishment, but was expelled from the adventurer's guild, while Note was prohibited from entering Xyrus City during Lucas attendance at Xyrus Academy. Unbeknownst to Lucas, his trial was orchestrated by Note who was, in reality Arthur Leywin so that he could exact his revenge against Lucas without facing repercussions from the Wykes family.

Upon reuniting as students of Xyrus Academy, Lucas wasted no time in expressing his animosity towards Arthur without even knowing that he is Note, merely for Arthur’s commoner background and his position in the Disciplinary Committee, a position that he was denied. Nevertheless, Arthur ingnores him during most of his stay in Xyrus Academy, deeming him as nothing more than an annoying wasp. Nevertheless, when it turned out that Lucas dared to harm Tessia during the Xyrus attack incident, Arthur mercilessly killed him brutally in response, since even the holiest of Saints would slap a wasp if it so much as dared to sting them.
