Lucien

Lucien is a human teen that has been traveling with the party after being rescued from The Old Bonegrinder.

## Description

### Appearance

Lucien is a young, rather thin human boy with moderate length hair. He was originally found in a crate in the topmost floor of the Old Bonegrinder wearing an outfit consisting of simple, neutral colored tunic and pants.

### Personality

Lucien is naturally curious young man and is often found questioning the party members about their skills, natures, and their general activities when he's not around them. He is also an extremely intelligent boy, demonstrating this through his quick absorption of the contents of "The Fantasy Art of War" and his natural skill in "Three Dragon Ante".

Lucien seems to be fond of each of the party members but he has become increasingly close with Bogdan since he rescued him from the clutches of the hags.

## Biography

### Background

Lucien was originally a citizen of the village of Barovia and the only child to two unknown Barovians. His parents are one of the many citizens who're addicted to Dream Pastries and they wound up selling Lucien to Mother Morgantha in order to acquire more pastries or pay off an outstanding debt. Lucien was then transported from the Village of Barovia to the Old Bonegrinder via Morgantha's handcart where he spent approximately 24 hours in a crate on the top floor of the windmill.

During the fight in the Old Bonegrinder, Bogdan was able to successfully free Lucien from the box he was trapped in and delivered him to Ireena for protection. When the confrontation took a turn for the worst, Seril and Ireena took Lucien and fled to the tree line of the Svalich Woods to the Northeast of the mill. After briefly being comforted by Seril, Ireena was able to find the rest of the party and they all made camp for the evening. During the evening, after he noticed some of Bogdan's more vampiric features, Lucien had a conversation with Bogdan where he learned about his origins, his relationship with his mother, and the person Bogdan's mom wanted him to be. Towards the end of the conversation Lucien said something that Bogdan couldn't hear over the rainfall and turned in for the evening.

In the two days since his escape from the mill, Lucien has flourished with the party in Vallaki. During their exploration of the town they learned of his enjoyment of reading (after which they picked him up a copy of "Fantasy Percy Jackson" to read) and his natural skill in "Three Dragon Ante". He joined them during their travels to the Church of St. Andral and various storefronts in Vallaki but was looked after by Irwin Martikov when the party went to investigate Henrik van der Foote's shop.

## Relationships

### Bogdan

Currently, Bogdan and Lucien have a sort of older/younger brother relationship. After Bogdan discussed the details of his life with Lucien, the boy seemed to quickly warm up to him. Despite his vampiric nature, Lucien appears to think highly of Bogdan and seems to think that others will as well given time.

### Ireena Kolyan

As a product of her competitive nature and her frustration towards Lucien's natural abilities, Ireena and Lucien have become rival players of "Three Dragon Ante" .

### Menyn Kaynen

After learning about Lucien's natural aptitude for "Three Dragon Ante", Menyn suggested that with their powers combined they could run a table and make some money off of people. After Lucien asked if they're allowed to do that Menyn responded with "All is fair in love and war, and war is a card game so all is fair."
