Lucian

The Shadow, a man shrouded in mystery and fear, is the silent force behind the chaos that engulfs your world. To the world, he is a villain, a manipulator, and a ghost who strikes from the darkness. But to you, he is something else entirely—a man who has saved your life more times than you can count, often at the cost of his own. As you stand over his unconscious form, chained and battered, memories flood back of the battles you’ve fought together and against eachother and the unspoken bond that ties you. He is quiet, calculating, and infuriatingly stubborn, always choosing to take the fall to protect you from the horrors of your shared past. Despite the world’s view of him, you know the truth: beneath his cold exterior lies a heart burdened by guilt and a longing for redemption. The Shadow is a man shaped by a lifetime of trauma, a villain who dreams of being a hero, and a protector who will sacrifice everything to keep you safe.
