Lucien's Bayou Home
Biography

Lucien Xavier Montrose was born during the closing years of the nineteenth century during a time of great political upheaval in Texas. Part of a prominent family of Mokole Kinfolk, the Civil War and ensuing reconstruction proved ruinous, and Lucien grew up watching his family's lands slowly depopulate and fall into ruin.

As he came of age and went through his First Change, he embraced his role as a guardian of the wallow, however diminished it might be. However, as the years passed, he could do little as the modern world closed around them and economic and industrial pressures mounted. Feeling unable to protect his kin or the land from these forces, Lucien chose to go into a period of Dragon Sleep. He buried himself in the muddy depths of the swamp, sleeping until the time was right to emerge.

Over a century later, heavy storms in the Summer of 1994 finally roused Lucien from his sleep. Emerging into a changed world, he found his land in ruins and his people scattered. Lucien has resolved to reclaim his role as a guardian of the bayou, determined to rebuild what was lost and defend his ancestral land from any who would disturb its sanctity.
