Deadass I think Lucien's name is "Lucien Mardoon" and he is probably Ophelia's little brother, which was how Cree came to work for the Gentleman, she probably put a word in for her. She has a bloodhunter vibe. Marisha was sus she was a magic-user, she made a face at the whisper..
I think he resented the family ties, fucked off to forge his own path, EARN it... Seeks his own power not tied to his family. Cree made a snide comment about 'ugh, rich people' like she'd had first-hand experience. They are a prominent Shadycreek tiefling family.... idk idk idk
Matt introduces her like
"As she descends ... she exudes an air of powerful aggression and presence, and with each step that she takes down there you can sense her immediately reading and seeing through each of you."
I'm just... Their accent is Zemnian not.... Irish?

Ugh but Lucien has such bratty younger sibling energy like he was always second place cause his sister was so much better at the family work than he was. Maybe even he was a bastard child of the family and DID grow up rough on the streets? I'm spiraling, i'm conspiracing........
"Specializing in exotic finds from Xhorhas and beyond" you mean like, a strange tome written in an undercommon cipher?
The Gentleman confirmed he has helped Ophelia smuggle artifacts from Molesmyr... Something that pointed Lucien towards Aeor? Hell, maybe Lucien ditched his family because of the slaves. What if Cree was a slave, and he took her away, she was the one his heart couldn't ignore?
She acts like she has a life debt to Lucien so he must have done something huge for her to garner that unwavering loyalty.... so they fucked off and joined the Order but the book changed things. Changed their goals. Ugh. I want backstory so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who is he???????????
Oh random tidbit, Matt has both Lucien and Ophelia "licking their lips" as a personality quirk. He points out she licks her lip when studying Caleb and as Lucien it's a character quirk he is expressing often in rp. Just saying.
Zoran had gone back to work with the Myriad when the TT had to split up. The Myriad is a criminal network out of Rexxentrum and the Mardoon family works closely with them as prominent allies. It seems all the backstories of the TT connect to the Mardoon family as well...
