Lucien
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.
- Bayou Guardian: Lucien has a deep connection with his ancestral land and the surrounding bayou, although they are both much diminished from his younger years. He sees himself as a guardian and steward of the bayou and is highly territorial, driving off any perceived intruders..
- Out of Time: Recently awakened from a long slumber, he may seem out of place in the modern world.
- Swamp Lore: Lucien knows the swamp and its creatures well, a useful resource for anyone venturing into the bayou.
- Pendant: Worn as a connection to his ancestral roots, the pendant is carved with intricate patterns.
- Worn Leather Boots: His well-worn boots tell tales of journeys through the swamp.
- Scar on Right Arm: A faint scar hinting at past battles or encounters with predators in the wild.
