DESCRIPTION: Wiry and thin, with angled features, deep brown eyes, and straight black hair that frames his face and hangs to his shoulders. Usually dressed in travelling clothes with a black cloak, and a sword sheathed at his side.

PERSONALITY: Intense and restless, but also haunted. He doesn't like to be trapped, either physically or by circumstance. He also doesn't like to see others trapped or denied their freedom.

BACKGROUND: Lucan is a native son of Sandpoint. Although the descendant of Chelish invaders, his family are simple fisherfolk in town. Lucan's older sister, Sarah, had taken up the family trade, but Lucan was always too restless and unsatisifed himself with the life of a fisherman. Indeed, he'd always found himself fascinated by the ancient culture of Thassilon, and the various ruins and artifacts that dotted the countryside of Varisia. He also found himself fascinated by and attracted to the study of the arcane. A few years ago, he left and travelled to Magnimar, hoping to learn the trade of a wizard (and to see the Irrespan that he'd heard so much about). However, when he was there, he discovered that he also had some talent with a blade, and that his true calling was in the fusion of spell and blade in combat. He ended up apprenticed to a half-elven magus by the name of Dorian. Thereafter, he stayed in Magnimar, continuing his studies, and attaching himself to a couple of different adventuring groups based out of Magnimar that explored old ruins and the like.

Recently, Lucan received word that tragedy had struck is family. He rushed home, but it was far too late by then. His mother, father, and older sister had all been killed when travelling outside of Sandpoint by rampaging goblins, goblins who were more organized and driven than the pests of the region usually are. By the time Lucan got back, the goblin menace had by and large been taken care of by others. There was nothing left for Lucan to do but to pick up the pieces... both of his family holdings, and of his shattered emotions. He spent a couple of months pulling himself back together. Thereafter, he sold off the assets of his family fishing business for a pittance, for Lucan had no interest himself in picking up the trade. He has spent much of the time since then in a funk, trying to develop the will again to go out and face the world and make a life for himself.

While he was in his lows, he did manage to do a small amount of magical research. He continued research he had started in Magnimar about how wizards are able to bond themselves with a familiar. He found it interesting that it was so natural for wizards, but that somehow it required much more effort for a Magus. In Magnimar, he thought he was stuck, not making much headway in his research, and he had set it aside. Picking it back up in Sandpoint, again he couldn't see where he'd went wrong. And, indeed, it turned out he hadn't, it's just that the right familiar hadn't come along. Lucan started to think that perhaps his house was haunted, for he started hearing occasional voices, and things started moving. Eventually, he was able to catch the creature doing these things: a Pooka, a tiny rabit-like creature with some of the facial features of a young woman. This Pooka introduced herself as Lilay, and called Lucan "master". It was then that Lucan realized that he'd succeeded in calling a familiar already some time ago. Lucan is now just still getting to know this strange fey creature he's bonded with. For her part, Lily likes to spend most of her time invisible, and when she's not invisible, in the form of a rabbit or a raven. Like many fey, she's a bit of a trickster, but she's also shy enough to not want to have most of the people of Sandpoint see her for what she is. Those who have seen Lucan with her believe that his familiar is a raven.

As he starts to come out of his period of mourning and depression, Lucan is again ready to engage in the career of an adventurer. This time, however, he's more driven. No longer will exploring the secrets of the past for the fun, adventure, and learning of it all be enough. No, now he realizes that people like him are put here for a reason, and he wants to do something that will help people, and protect people.
