### Early Life

Lorcan was born to Loria Blackthorn, a woman thrown out of the house by her parents because of her pregnancy. Only her sister, Toria, supported her. Because Lorcan was delivered without a doctor, Loria was weakened greatly by the pregnancy and became very sickly. She died when Lorcan was five. Toria became very bitter and blamed Lorcan for Loria's death and became very abusive toward him.

Lorcan was rescued by his half brother Damien, who left him to be raised at the Temple of Apollo near the Oracle of Delphi. He grew up there, with his half sister Calamity occasionally popping by to train him with his powers, until he left for the nearest seaport on advice from the Oracle. He met Jackady Starkweather here and the two became fast friends.
