BIOGRAPHY

Lucanis is an expert assassin who specializes in executing powerful mages. Lucanis killed so many blood mages and Venatori, that people began calling him the "Demon of Vyrantium."

He is also known to be the poised and pragmatic grandson of Caterina Dellamorte, First Talon of the Antivan Crows. When Caterina trained him as a child, she would frequently hit him with her cane when he made mistakes. He hated her for years for being cruel, though now thinks it was her way to make sure he survived life as a Crow. Although Lucanis views the Crows as a family business, he isn't interested in succeeding his grandmother as First Talon and would prefer to just focus on his work rather than be the center of attention. However, despite his preferences, it is said that he is Caterina’s favorite, and the one she intends to name as her heir.

Around 9:51 Dragon, Lucanis' ship was ambushed by the Venatori and the Antivan Crows assumed him dead. However, Caterina suspected his death was faked and that the decoy body bearing his face was altered by blood magic. Furthermore, she also suspected a traitor within the Crows who helped attack Lucanis' ship; so Caterina kept her suspicions to herself. Taken to an underwater prison called the Ossuary, Magister Zara Renata of the Venatori decided to forcefully insert a spirit turned "demon" of Spite into his body to make his nickname of "Demon of Vyrantium" literal, making him a rare non-mage abomination. However, Spite was just as unwilling in the possession as Lucanis himself, developing a profound grudge against the Venatori and allowing his host to remain in control when awake. Because of this, Lucanis suffers from insomnia, wishing to give Spite as little control over their shared body as possible. Lucanis is a coffee lover and uses it to keep himself awake. Lace Harding however, is concerned that using caffeine to deal with Spite isn't a long-term, healthy solution and could even kill him.

As an abomination, Lucanis can use Spite's magical abilities to make himself stronger. For example, Lucanis can summon magical wings that allows him to make superhuman leaps. His in-game skill is Spite's Reach, which uses the instability of the Veil to summon floating platforms from the Fade to help the party cross gaps.

When the Veilguard arrives at the prison, Lucanis had broken containment and went on a rampage. The Venatori narrowly sealed him in ice only for him to break out and kill all present. Upon being told the Veilguard required a magekiller against the Evanuris, Lucanis requested Rook help him retrieve the vial of his blood that Zara would use to control him, killing the prison warden, Calivan (the target he was contracted to kill), in the process.

When Lucanis and the Veilguard return to Treviso, they discover Zara Renata had attacked the Cantori Diamond. Illario Dellamorte stated Caterina Dellamorte was presumed killed in the confusion. The circumstances of the attack seems suspicious but Lucanis is obligated to fulfill his contract with the Veilguard before he can fully dedicate his time to help the Crows.

Lucanis resides in the Lighthouse's pantry. Cooking is one of Lucanis' favored hobbies and he is so proficient at it that he eventually becomes the Veilguard's predominant cook.

Later on, Illario set up a meeting with Lucanis and Rook to discuss the intel he got on Zara. They all meet up at Café Pietra and Illario reveals that the Crows he sent after Zara say she's gone to Vyrantium. Lucanis doesn't believe the intel is true and thinks there are traitors in the Crows giving Illario a false lead. He is confident that Zara is in Treviso and has Antivan Crow traitors protecting her. Lucanis insists that Illario investigate in Treviso, which upsets Illario. Illario begrudgingly agrees to investigate the Crows for corruption and storms off. Lucanis comments that it's typical for Illario to cave under pressure and is also disinclined to listen to other people. As Lucanis enjoys his coffee, he dwells on how even before he was captured, his life has never been his own and so much has been determined for him. He ponders if he can ever live a full life.

After returning from recruiting Davrin, Rook received word that Ghilan'nain had sent two blighted dragons, each attacking Minrathous and Treviso simultaneously. Both Neve and Lucanis are urging Rook to help defend their home cities, leaving immediately to see to their defenses. Rook must choose to defend a city and leave the other to suffer its blighted dragon's rampage and the enemies taking advantage of it.
