Imagine being told to put a WIP in a char tab rather than finish it.

[sub][color=#A43746][b]Legacy Abilities[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]It is well known amongst the playerbase of Knight Arthurs that Lucien is, arguably, the best unit in the entire game. He starts play with both the highest base stats and growth rates of the entire NPC cast. This makes him capable of filling out nearly every single role in a party. In fact, the only statistic Lucien falls behind some of his fellow Knights of the Table Round in is intelligence, making him a suboptimal choice for a caster. Not that players haven't done it. It's a particularly popular categroy on speedrunning forums, known as the "Casterlot" run.

Lucien's magical ability is the [i]Exaltation of the Beloved Lady[/i]. This ability is intrinsically tied to Lucien's affection level to the player. In combat, when the protagonist's hit points reach a certain threshold, Lucien's stats and damage output raise exponentially. Unbeknownst to some players, there is also a hidden track of Lucien's affection level to Guinevere's Successor, with her being the only other character Lucien's ability can key off of. There is a particularly notorious strategy of having both Lucien and Finarah in the party only to have both the player and Finarah get down to as low of health as possible to maximize Lucien's already substantial abilities. He has been known to defeat endgame bosses with one or two hits if both of his "beloved ladies" are at maximum affection and low HP in combat.

Other than his inherited ability, Lucien has the hidden skill Dual Wield, which only becomes available when he is given the swords Secace and Arondight.[/indent]

[indent]In the base experience of [b][i]Knight Arthurs X Gallant Heaven[/i][/b], Lucien first encounters the player when they arrive at the Royal Academy, introducing Arthur's successor to life at the school and relating to their situation, as he, too, was in over his head when he was elevated to the nobility. Unbeknownst to the player until further on in the game, Lucien is an orphan who was raised alongside (Lady of the Lake) and became a member of (Prince's) personal entourage some time before the start of the game's storyline. While just what Prince he ends up a follower of is determined seemingly at random, once a player progresses on Lucien's personal route, it is revealed that while at first he acted purely as a wing-man in an attempt to secure his chosen Prince's claim to the throne of Caerleon, he has fallen for Arthur's Successor, even preferring her to the Successor of Guinevere. 

While Lucien's actions vary wildly depending on route flags and so on, if Arthur's successor commits to his route, Lucien, along with the player, learns that he is actually the only living Prince of Caergallia, a city-state that was conquered by Caerleon in the events prior to the game. Understandably torn by this revelation, Lucien and his followers proceed to enter the now rampant Caerleon Civil War, proclaiming him Lucien Benoic, the Lost Prince. If the player pledges herself to Lucien's faction, they rapidly gain ground in the conflict, and, when the factions discover that the Successor of Mordred's curse has transformed her into a dragon, the couple convince their opponents to join a coalition to deal with the immediate threat. After Mordredragon is defeated, Lucien, due in no small part to the player's influence, is named the High King of Caerleon, assimilating Caergallia fully into the Realm and supposedly bringing about a new golden age of peace. Nevertheless, the former princes remain, and they no doubt remain bitter, and scheming, after their defeat.

Should the protagonist not join Lucien after his royal revelation, Lucien still proceeds to enter the Caerleon Civil War, but without the guidance of Arthur's Successor, he soon gives in to anger. Instead of showing his opponents chivalry and adhering to the rules of war, he takes a hard line against the friends who had deceived him for so many years. He slays a number of the Round Table Knights personally across numerous battles before an eventual final duel against Arthur's Successor at the now renamed Dolorous Gard. His death leaves Caergallia without leadership, and the city is once again put to the sword by Caerleon, something the new Queen will have to live with for the rest of her reign. A bittersweet ending, to be sure.[/indent]
