Luccas Mairein
Luccas Mairein is a human sorcerer and bandit who works with the Morenar, and witch hunters are on his trail. He is described as an opportunist, an inexperienced one, and a user of dark magic.1
Early life
Luccas was born into a humble family and discovered his magic only a few years ago, when goblins raided his town. In the chaos of the attack he loosed a bolt of chaotic arcane energy that killed the goblin boss, and when the other goblins saw their leader's smouldering body fall, they fled into the forest. But magic is not widely accepted in the Empire, and it is feared even more than goblins: his own people turned against him and drove him out.1
Among the bandits
With a bounty on his head, Luccas fled to the forest hoping to find refuge among the bandits, and he found it. Sigusmund the Boar, seeing the worth of magical power, took the young exile into his band. When the band was trapped in the Crooked Teeth Valley, Luccas played a major part in persuading Sigusmund to side with the Morenar.1
With the Morenar
Luccas now works actively with the Morenar, yet he remains loyal to Sigusmund. He sees Sigusmund and Marcus as important and powerful figures and hopes one day to be like them. He is intensely afraid of the notorious warlock Blaze and grows very nervous in his company.1
His goal is to gather enough wealth within the organisation to pay, one day, for a high-quality magical licence of his own. He has some control over his powers but lacks field experience and combat training, and the Morenar gives him the chance to improve. He takes ambush and caravan-guarding work, offers magical support, hates goblinoids, and will not kill children.1
In battle
In a fight Luccas tries to strike down the enemy backline while keeping a safe distance from its frontline. He values his own life above everything: unless a figure of power he respects is on the field, he is apt to run after taking a heavy blow.1
