Since the Grand Princess is not only alive but has children to succeed her, Varian and Lucan are no longer in the direct line of succession.

History & Background / Dossier[edit]

  • No information currently available.

Historical Era: Rebellion[edit]

The nephew of Strephon by his sister Lydia, Lucan proclaimed himself emperor [1] as the nearest relative of the murdered Emperor Strephon. However the Moot at the time had reason to suspect Lucan of foul play in the death of his brother Prince Varian and so refused to ratify his claim to the Iridium Throne. For his part, Lucan responded by dissolving the Moot for one year. The Moot, for its part, disputes his dissolution of their body, but for security reasons, the Moot has not been able to safely meet and conduct Imperial business.

Depending on who you ask, and what side they are on, Lucan is the current ruler of the Third Imperium, sometimes known as Lucan's Imperium. During 1116-1119 Lucan headed one of the three major factions fighting for the control of the Imperium as it headed into Civil War.

As time went on Lucan became more and more mentally unstable. By 1121 he was physically attacking envoys in the Imperial Palace and declaring that only High Sylean could be spoken in his presence. The next year the Emperor started personally shooting envoys that had the courage to come to the Palace.

Historical Era: The New Era[edit]

The Virus was developed as one of Lucan's super-weapons during the Civil War. Due to the Black Curtain that descended upon Lucan's Imperium - the old Imperial Core - around 1130 it is not known when Lucan died. Fittingly, it is believed that somehow his essence was uploaded into Virus allowing Lucan's Imperium to transform into the Black Imperium.
