Lucien, son of Count Dragomir, lord of a rich mining village in Transylvania. Dragomir was a kind but stern man, well versed in latin, since he had plenty of french mercaneries guarding his mines. He named his son Lucifer, meanikg 'light of dawn' because when Lucifer was born, the first gentle rays of dawn was seen trough the window.
He trained Lucien personally in melee combat, and taught him how to handle the money they got from trading the ores from the mines.
Lucien took in all his father taught him and more. He befriended a local craftsman, who made statues out of clay. Alexei as the man was called taught him how to make his statues and his life-long hobby had started. Making clay figures, statues and bowls was his life. Even though some misstakes pissed him so much he trashed his equipment more than once.
At this point in time however, a new person moved to the village. The villagers enjoyed the company of the woodsman. Or so they thought, little did they know that it had been two people that had moved in. A slave and its master.
The Vovoid Kuldun had originally set its sight on Dragomir, to claim the riches of the land for himself. But as soon as he learnt of the existence of his son, Lucien - he knew he had found his childer. There was no denying his skill in his crafts, and better yet. He was to inherit the substantial fortune should Dragomir die.
Dragomir died soon after, appearently he fell off his horse while out riding and hit his head. Then it was time for the next part of The Vovoides plan. Lucien. The Vovoid was there to comfort Lucien, planting the seed of the idea of inmortality in his head. A few weeks after, Lucien died aswell. Only downside was the villagers saw him die, went to close to a cliff and lost his footing. Immedietly before he really died though the Vovoid turned him.
