  1. *Backstory*
  2. Oh to live the fine life. As the eldest son of the Victocora family scion Lucianus had the world at his fingertips. The finest foods, the best tutors, the ability to travel where and when he desired. Nothing would be out of his reach. Lucianus' destiny was that of luxury and opulence at the highest rungs of Chelish society. At least that was the expectation.
  3.  
  4. Fate however is a fickle and cruel mistress. The Victocora family found themselves on the wrong side of history. Twice. And the indiscretions of the past never truly stay buried.
  5.  
  6. When the throne was up for grabs, and Cheliax plunged into civil war Victocora backed house Davien. Only to watch house Thune sign a pact with Asmodeus and crush their opposition with an army of Devils and Devilspawn. Then as the church of Asmodeus was codified as the state church and diabolism was on the rise house Victocora spoke out against these things. It is one thing to model your society on the Nine Hells, and implement strict hierarchies and castes. That is efficient, and ensures that all know their state in life. It is yet another to knowingly sign yourself, your family, and your home over to the darkest powers.
  7.  
  8. If that was all that fate had in store life still wouldn't have been so bad. Sure, house Victocora would be social pariahs. And yes their political influence would be marginal at best as they opposed by the ruling house, and defied the state church. But still they are one of the 4 wealthiest and most powerful families in Cheliax. They may never get good seats at banquets in the royal palace, or invited to join royal parties; but when you control almost 10% of commerce in the country, life is still good.
  9.  
  10. When born Lucianus was just like any other child. Well, except for being spoiled rotten, growing up on a palatial estate, and being waited on hand and foot. When his younger sister was born was when everything began to change. First his skin darkened, and his eyes slowly changed colors. By the time he was 6 there was no hiding that Lucianus was born different. His skin was coal black, and his eyes glowed red. By the time he was 8, his horns had grown in, and his tail was growing. No amount of clever clothing or makeup could hide his infernal nature. By the time Lucianus siblings were grown Lucianus aging had already slowed, true to his blood.
  11.  
  12. For a family so vocally against diabolism this was embarrassment beyond measure. Living, breathing, walking, talking proof of hypocrisy. There was only one thing that a family of this stature could do. Pretend their son did not exist. Inheritance, and full control of the family would pass on to the daughter when the ArchBaroness and her husband were to finally pass on. What was once a life of luxury became an opulent prison. Yes everything Lucianus could conceivably need was still provided. He still lived in a palatial estate, the finest tutors still came and taught him. History, arcana, weapon play, languages, and the arts. Everything a noble child in Cheliax would be expected to learn. But that did not change that what was home became a prison. Never allowed to leave the estate. Never allowed in the main manor when the family was hosting guests. Never to be seen by anyone that could breathe a word of the family shame.
  13.  
  14. They day his mother died Lucianus approached his sister. The one person in the family he still cared for and with her help was able to take a small inheritance and sneak out of the estate. He took a couple family heirlooms as his inheritance, along with enough coin to get him out of Cheliax. Unable to be part of the family and yet unable to enjoy any status in Chelish society because of his family there was no choice. He had to leave. Having seen what tyranny does and what happens when monsters are given unchecked power Lucianus took up with the church of Cayden Cailean. Always moving, always free. And always hunting the monsters that would oppress others.
  15.  
  16. Today Lucianus is not above using the fact that he technically has the title of Baron to gain access to high society when he can, but much prefers to party with mercenaries and the common man. Where expectations are lower, and it's easier to just disappear when the wanderlust grows again.
