[Jethal]

<p>*PARODY INTERVIEW*</p><p>Elquinjena Silverwing travels back in time to interview Lucan DeLere, back when he was a lowly stable boy, before his rise to evil.. but what triggered his transformation into the bastian of evil and corruption?  <a href="http://www.kithicor.org/media/show/int_lucan1.mp3" target="_blank"><strong>CLICK HERE AND FIND OUT</strong></a></p>

<p><span style="color: #00cc00;">It's also possible that Lucan is a Firstborn of the Bayle line (they are conidered cursed, never in line for the throne, raised in other cities, and usually turn out EEEeeEEEEEeeevil)</span></p>

<p>I like that idea, however the qeynos claymore quest insinuates that the curse was placed well after the shattering.  Lucan was around to kill in eq1, he was a fun pull <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>If i remember correctly Lucan was a street urchin before the Crusade of Tears and was a common thief before a paladin took him under his wing. He might have been somewhere else before that though!</p>

<p>If Lucan were somehow a part of the Bayle linneage (which I am not willing to discount out of hand), then he would have been the son of Antonius Bayle II, and sibling to Antonius Bayle III.</p><p>As was his way, Vhalen left us some maddening hints that we have yet to answer fully.  From an interview at Fan Faire awhile back:</p><p><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #ffff00;">What are his origins like lineage, parents, race, etc.?</span> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: xx-small; color: #ff0000;">Vhalen: There are those in Norrath that have held that secret for ages. These Norrathians have held this secret since before the existence of Lucan D'Lere.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: xx-small; color: #ffff00;">We know Lucan is a widow. Who was his wife? How and when did she die?</span></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Vhalen: Here's a hint at the when. It is rare for the members of the Knights of Truth to get married. They devote their lives to Mithaniel Marr. As for who, <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">you have heard the name before</span></strong>, but more than likely, only a small number of you have met her.  As for his longevity, there is one person in Freeport that may hold the answer. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">But he not what we all believe or know</span></strong>.<span style="color: #888888;">(my emphasis)</span></span></span></p><p>Vhalen repeatedly cast doubts about Lucan actually being a lich as most believe, and hints that his longevity accures from some other source, though he would never be pinned down as to specifics. </p><p>I have a feeling that the truth, when it is finally revealed will come out of left field and will be something completely unexpected. </p><p>[For some reason Captain Draik Varlos, (aka: Darathar), keeps nagging at me whenever I ponder Lucan D'Lere.  Not that Lucan is Darathar, but Lucan as a dragon makes me wonder at times.] </p><p>Anyway, just a wild flight of fancy.</p>

<p>I'm fond of speculation, let's try this out for size:</p><p>Lucan's longevity, power, claim on Soulfire... perhaps he has a parent among Norrath's pantheon. Really left field speculation, but my money would be on one of the Marrs.</p>
