A new year, a new Spotlight and in January's Character Spotlight we find ourselves back at Courts of Cornesse to find out about
Lucian Asteron, The High Lord of the Moon Court. The one Court where rulers are chosen not born but because of this the home of the most ruthless Fae of them all.
Noctaluce was a new court when Lucian was born, making him one of the first Fae to officially be born within it. This as a young man would have already given him a different mind set, the leaders that came before were
other but Lucian was one with the Moon and everything it stood for. His family were as filthy rich as any other that had founded Noctaluce which meant that they as much as any other craved power, meaning Lucian was dragged from pillar to post in the hope that one day he would make the connections required to grab power for them. Education was important as well, for the leaders in other Courts were just handed their titles, they had no requirement to be intelligent in any way. Lucian needed to be quick, smart and ruthless in both mental and physical strength, something he knew all too well.
There was a change within him however when he met his bondmate, Nyx Silverstorm. She was the wife of their High Lord, beautiful and intelligent and someone he knew he could not have. When would that have ever stopped Lucian however? It was fated of course, she was to be his and Nyx was able to set in motions the events that would end the old High Lord's life and place him now upon the throne. No longer a rich man's son, but the most respected man in all of Noctulace. Almost a century now and Lucian has learnt to play the game better than any before him. Most of the High Lady's and Lord's now sitting on their various thrones have been in place for less time than himself, giving him power that he could hide away now for his own uses. He had his many spies and poison masters out there in the world to do his bidding whilst he could pretend to be the kind bumbling fool that no one would think was the most dangerous man in all of the Courts. Only if he continued to play the game perhaps all the cards would eventually fall.
Lucian is certainly the bad boy of CoC that we all love to love as well as hate! Congratulations Sarah (
Domino) on Lucian and Character Spotlight of the month!
