"You could even say... I was a perfect child."

Lucien was a precious son and heir to the Bastion household - one of the most powerful houses among all of Belvar. Many say that the family is very much the greatest. A child prodigy at his finest, he was well off being popular with all nobles who lived in the city. He was a single child, therefore his life was already planned for him by his father; meaning that there were already plans for Lucien to marry, take over businesses, but more importantly:

Take leadership of all of Belvar.

Of course, young Lucien was inexperienced. He was too much of a child to understand the amount of power that the Bastion had been fighting for to claim the rights to the city. Yet, his parents believed that Lucien wouldn't have a problem if he continues to walk the path they planned for him.

Before he even reached to his teenage years, a supposed accident occurred in the household. Whether it was planned or not, the Bastion house fell to its end as a tragic housefire had put everything to ruins. Both Lucien's parents, relatives, and servants that lived in the main house suffered in the flames that drowned their screams that scarred Lucien for a majority of his life. Everyone, except for the last remaining Bastion, had died - leaving Lucien practically nothing for him to take and homeless.
Out of pity, the second most powerful home (a friend to the Bastion house) had taken in Lucien. Unfortunately many nobles believed that his talents prove to do nothing if he had no title; the young Bastion was practically useless. Yet, the Zane family was generous enough to take the young man in as a servant-in-training until he capable enough to become their butler. Lucien practically had no other options, and he refused to let his life die at this point.

He found himself working for the Zane family for years and older Lucien planned that he'd continue to serve them for his whole life. Not until he met a powerful aristocrat that entered Belvar; he practically fell in love with him with each and every encounter they had.

Lucien, not only committing himself to servitude, he seemed to commit to a life of love. Bastion left the Zane household to serve his new master and renamed himself Lucien Belvedere.

The Heroes of Belvar

Not many know of Lucien's background. And many other people believed that all of the Bastions had died off. The "Last Bastion" was very much a myth in Belvar. Especially when Lucien married, his last name changed and his old family name remained hidden within him and the Counts of the Zane household. Although, Lucien himself didn't know how important he was as the "Last Bastion."

He was close friends with Calian and Culus, the current heads of the Zane household but Lucien becomes worrisome after Azrael finds himself fending off two assassins who came for Culus's head. He rushed to help Cagliostro, wondering could possibly be the reason why they were coming after his friends.

He's met both Jack and Algernon, partners that sought to rid of any corrupted mages that deserve only but death. But to Belvedere's knowledge, Culus was no mage. It took him quite a bit to persuade the two that he was neither a mage or corrupted. And after the interception and saving Culus from potential death, it wasn't long before the two of them came into contact with the butler - wondering about the whereabouts of their kidnapped children.
Even Lucien, knew very little of the situation. But nobleman Calian had only but ideas that one of the houses in the Noble circle was commencing their plans of overtaking the city. It was rather worrisome to see that the plans were unknown, and anyone who opposed the Alabaster family has no idea what the next step would be.

Eventually the underlying goal of the Alabaster family was not only overtaking Belvar, but claiming control of the rumored "Last Bastion" who is the last of their line to have information regarding a treasure that they needed to take total control of the city, without the rule of the Viscount Grimbald of the Cathal kingdom. The treasure, was simply the underlying proof and item that gives them the permit to take full control. Lucien, rather unsure of this "treasure" that his parents were hiding, he found out that the fire of his home wasn't at all an accident. Instead Bastion was rather angry and immediately put down Alabaster, using whatever his noble title power to permit him - to remove the Count from his seat and his noble title. 

History says that one of the brothers of the Royal family, a year after the Vampiric war, was given opportunity to rule Belvar after their victory. Though he took this to become a Duke of Belvar but his life was shortlived and his family hindered and the bloodline strayed rather far from the royal family of Cathal. It was when after his death, Alphonse Grimbald took the title of duke temporarily (until someone from the Royal family decides to take claim of the title). However, the bloodline continued to be recorded in secrecy behind the knowledge of the main family, and thus hidden from the long-living duke. The only knowledge of these records were handed and hidden well by the Bastions. Lucien, being the last one of his family, to keep this information and even knew the whereabouts of the physical papers that had said proof. Relaying this to Grimbald, it was official that Lucien would have the right to take the title as Duke and rule the Belvar under one single ruler.

Bastion, despite having the opportunity only used this power to rid of Alabaster's noble title and expelled him from his city. His family was spared at the least. 

However, Lucien never had any intentions of ruling the city. In fact, his duty to rule the city ended with his house was burnt to a crisp when he was a young man. After Alabaster's expulsion, he handed the title of Duke to both Grimbald and the Zane, making them both co-rulers of the city.

And since then, Lucien withdrew back to his butler duties under the Belvedere household. Happily married to his husband Jayce, he merely spends his time living in Belvar for the rest of his life. ...Or he hopes that it will be.
