Lucian is a lean man with skin the color of sun-dried bark and eyes a startling, leaf-green. His most striking feature is his hair, which is a pale, shimmering silver-blonde that reminds observers of the underside of willow leaves. He wears practical leather armor stained in shades of forest green and deep brown, and he usually smells faintly of crushed mint and rain.

I have spent so much time among the trees that I often forget the social graces of city folk. I am patient, like the growing seasons, and prefer to listen to the wind rather than the idle chatter of politicians. I believe everything has a cycle, and I am merely an observer of that grand design.

Lucian was born in a small logging village on the edge of the Whispering Woods. While his brothers took up the axe to fell trees, Lucian felt a profound, aching sorrow every time a century-old oak met the ground. Following a vision of a stag with silver antlers, he walked into the deepest parts of the forest and did not return for fifteen years. During this time, he lived within the Silverfrond Grove, a place where the barrier between the Material Plane and the Feywild is thin. He learned the secrets of the soil and the songs of the stream from a reclusive circle of druids who guarded the site. During his isolation, he made a startling discovery about the interconnectedness of all living spirits. He realized that a blight currently rotting the roots of the world began not from natural decay, but from a corruption in the hearts of men. Now, he has emerged from his solitude. He carries with him the weight of the forest's silence and a duty to preserve the balance. He travels not for gold or glory, but because the trees told him that the cycle is being broken by an external force that he must identify and stop.
