His Life as a Nobleman Lucien was born into one of the kingdom's oldest and wealthiest noble families.

As the heir to House Valemont, Lucien has spent most of his life being prepared for political responsibility. His sexuality, however, complicates the expectations placed upon him. Lucien is openly gay among those he trusts, but considerably more private about it at court.
