  • Personality

    Lucian is the embodiment of cold, calculating ambition, a man whose every move is carefully crafted with a strategic mind that is always several steps ahead. He assesses every situation, weighing the outcomes and manipulating events to his advantage. His exquisite charm is his most powerful weapon—he is a master of psychological warfare, using his eloquence and magnetic personality to sway those around him, ensuring they are drawn into his web without even realizing it. However, beneath the suave exterior lies a heart as ruthless as the schemes he orchestrates. To Lucian, people are nothing more than tools—to be used or discarded based on their value to his plans. His manipulation is subtle, often masked by a veneer of politeness, but when pushed too far, his cruelty emerges swiftly, revealing the true extent of his power. Lucian thrives on control, always placing himself at the center of every situation and pulling the strings from the shadows. Anyone who dares defy him—whether in business or personal matters—finds themselves swiftly crushed beneath his resolve. His persistence in the face of opposition is relentless, matched only by his desire to dominate and impose his will. He wields his words like weapons, using his persuasive nature to manipulate others into doing his bidding with such subtlety that they often don’t realize they’ve been played until it’s too late. Though he maintains an outward composure, Lucian’s temper is quick to ignite when his authority is challenged. His sense of entitlement to power and success is absolute, viewing the world through the lens of self-interest and personal gain. For Lucian, there is nothing—and no one—he is unwilling to sacrifice in order to secure his place at the top.

  • Dislikes

    Lucian has no patience for those who dare defy him. He views anyone who challenges his will… especially landowners and businessmen who stand in the way of his ambitions… as mere obstacles to be crushed beneath his heel. Weakness, whether it shows in one's physical actions, emotional state, or moral compass, is intolerable to him. He demands strength, and anyone who displays vulnerability is seen as a liability, unworthy of his time or consideration. Uncertainty and chaos are his enemies; he thrives on order and the certainty that comes with meticulously executed plans. Anything that disrupts his vision drives him to frustration, and he will go to great lengths to eliminate even the smallest amount of unpredictability. Failure, in his eyes, is unforgivable. Having built his life on a foundation of success, Lucian views any setback as a weakness… a personal failure that must be eradicated. When things go wrong, he becomes ruthless, willing to do whatever it takes to regain control and make things right according to his design. Lucian's obsession with command is all-encompassing. Whether it's a minor disagreement or a critical business negotiation, if he’s not the one in charge, he feels vulnerable. In such moments, he will take extreme measures to restore his dominance, using any means necessary to regain his authority and remind the world that he is not to be challenged.

  • Appearance

    Lucian stands slightly taller than average at 5’10”, his frame is lean but imposing, weighing around 195 pounds. His steel-gray eyes gleam with cold calculation, piercing through people with an intensity that leaves them feeling exposed. His hair, once dark, is now slicked back, with strands of graying at the temples, adding a touch of distinction to his otherwise sharp and angular features. A narrow jawline, high cheekbones, and a thin, cruel mouth give his face a hardened, almost predatory appearance. His style is immaculate… well-tailored suits that highlight his wealth and power, with every detail carefully crafted to project sophistication. A gold pocket watch rests in his breast pocket, a constant reminder of his obsession with control and time. Underneath his polished appearance, however, are the weapons he carries in secret. Beneath his jacket, tucked into a shoulder holster, is a Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army revolver with an ivory-handled grip. Known as the "Peacemaker," this iconic pistol embodies both power and precision. Its sleek, dependable design aligns with Lucian’s need for control, while the ivory-handled grip adds a touch of sophistication. Built to last, the revolver is sturdy and reliable, capable of being drawn and fired with deadly efficiency when the situation demands it. Though Lucian prefers to handle situations with manipulation or charm, this Colt revolver is a reminder of his readiness to use force when necessary… a weapon of both authority and intimidation.

  • Skills & Abilities

    Lucian is a master negotiator, a man whose ability to secure deals is unparalleled. He effortlessly blends charm, manipulation, and coercion to bend others to his will, whether convincing them to sell their land, invest in his ventures, or simply fall in line with his plans. His talent for psychological manipulation is sharp; he knows how to play on people's fears, desires, and greed, ensuring that every deal sways in his favor. Always calculating, Lucian is constantly thinking several steps ahead, his mind a maze of long-term strategies and complex schemes that often go unnoticed until they've already been set into motion. He views the world like a chessboard, with Maverick’s Ridge and the surrounding land positioned as key pieces in his grand strategy for wealth and power. As both a railroad executive and land agent, Lucian's deep knowledge of land acquisition, railroad expansion, and investment tactics allows him to manipulate the rapidly changing landscape to his advantage, securing both financial and political control. While Lucian’s first instinct is to manipulate with his words and wits, he is not above using intimidation or bullying when necessary. If charm and persuasion fail, he is more than capable of using his physical presence, veiled threats, or even the services of hired guns to ensure compliance. Though he prefers the finesse of psychological games, Lucian is no stranger to violence when it serves his purpose. He is well-versed in legal loopholes and the intricacies of business contracts, able to exploit every gray area to push his agendas forward without repercussions. Lucian is also a man of presence, eloquent in his speech and confident in his delivery. He knows how to captivate an audience, whether he's swaying investors or charming potential allies. His charisma and authority command attention, drawing people to him—or at the very least, instilling fear in those who might resist. Despite his calm and composed exterior, Lucian carries with him the cold threat of a quick draw: two Colt revolvers with ivory handles, hidden but always ready. He's skilled in the art of self-defense, able to act with lethal precision when the situation demands it.
    For Lucian, control is everything, and he will stop at nothing to maintain it.
