First appearance: Skypiercer Part 1
Lucien was a soldier of Cor’thun during the events of Skypiercer, and probably the least heroic man ever to tell stories about his own heroics. He was drunk at the feast, drunk afterward and passed out in a tavern soon after, and he still somehow ended up in Atalantos’s brigade. He is a small figure in the prequel, but a memorable one. He is not to be confused with Lucien Brack, the half-orc bard who fought in the Season 1 finale.
Story
Skypiercer Part 1
Lucien was posted at Cor’thun’s Western Gate until he was sent home to sleep it off. At the feast that followed he told anyone who would listen about his exploits in battle. Another soldier had a different account: Lucien had spent the whole fight passed out in the stables. As for why he fought at all, he gave the most honest answer of the night: “because my dad told me to.”
The feast went downhill from there. His armor was spotless, which fit the stables story better than his own. He wore his gloves on the wrong hands and tried to sign Atalantos’s chest in gravy as an autograph. Then he fell asleep in Atalantos’s hand. The hall began laying bets on him. Five copper said his boots were on the wrong feet. A silver said someone had already died because of him. A gold, which was talked down to a silver, said he would kill someone in his next fight. Lucien also admired Kaja, whose “thick blood” he said he liked. Atalantos looked at all of this and drafted him into his brigade anyway.
Skypiercer Part 2
Brigade life did not change him. Lucien went straight back to drinking, and while Atalantos was training and settling his troops, he found Lucien passed out in a tavern. Rather than give up on him, Atalantos asked another soldier to look after him.
Personality and Abilities
Lucien was a soldier mostly in title. He was boastful and almost never sober. His spotless armor and mismatched gloves gave him away as surely as the stable gossip did. He fought out of family obligation rather than glory, though that never stopped him from claiming the glory. Nothing is known of any fighting skill he had. His one proven talent was falling asleep in the worst possible place.
Relationships
- Atalantos: drafted Lucien into his brigade despite everything, and later had a fellow soldier look after him.
- Kaja: Lucien admired her “thick blood” at the feast.
