_______________

Physical Description:
Lucien is fairly typical for a Connlaothian, pale with grey eyes and dirty blonde hair, patched with bits of darker brown. He is wrapped in muscle, particularly around his shoulders, arms and upper back, a trait he acquired through his profession of digging graves. He's a pretty hairy dude, with constant stubble no matter how freshly he might've shaved. It's not uncommon for him to simply give up on keeping up, and this can result in a pretty shaggy and unkempt appearance at times.

Personality:
Lucien is the sort who likes to keep to himself. He doesn't really invite conversation, nor does he go looking for it. For the most part he just wants to do his work, and go home to his daughter. However, this is mostly to avoid what is an incredibly volatile temper, as he has this habit of going completely tunnel-vision when he gets angry. Incredibly pious, he is a regular fixture in his local church, praying to the saints to help alleviate his monthly "problem," as well as to cleanse him of more personal sins.

Magic/Abilities:
Lucien is a werewolf in the classic movie-monster sense, in that he has no control over his transformations, which coincide with the phases of the moon. During these points, he becomes a great beast, a fusion of man and wolf with none of the sanity of either. He is capable of great feats of brute strength during these periods, but like his transformations, he has very little control over who he uses this force on.

Relationships:
Wife, deceased
Lily, daughter

History:
Lucien has been a monster for as long as he can remember. Ever since he was a small child, he had to be locked up once a month, which left very little time for him to achieve any real manner of study or even much social interaction. Despite his parents' best efforts to keep his problem a secret, he somehow continued to be found out, and often this resulted in his family having to pack up and move to another town or city. The best rumors concerning his affliction were that he simply crossed another werewolf in the woods or something, and the worst rumors concerning his lycanthropy were that his mother was a witch who treated with a demon of some variety and had him cursed.

He's not sure which rumor is more true.

Still, he grew up without too much incident, and married a lovely young blacksmith. He managed to keep his monthly incidents a secret for some time, long enough for their daughter Lily to be born. However, one month, his wife became curious as to why he regularly disappeared, but only for a week. This had about the same result as one might expect. The official record was that Lucien was not at fault, but he was shunned enough to warrant him packing up and moving away with Lily. They ended up in one of the larger cities within the Matron's Hallow.

Desperate to find any cure for his ailment, he fell to working close to the church, spending much of his time there in prayer when he wasn't performing basic janitorial duties. For his nasty times of the month, he locks himself up in his cellar, in order to avoid causing any lasting harm. These cellar doors have to be regularly replaced, and coupled with the task of raising a young daughter all on his own, on a gravedigger's salary, have led him to far less scrupulous modes of employment, often pilfering valuable objects from fresh graves, or even whole bodies for far shadier purposes.
