Lucan Rothstein

Lucan Rothstein is one of the protagonists in the series. A member of the prestigious sorcerer family in Odzwielg, Rothstein, though he is unacknowledged by the other members due to his poor talent as a mage. Lucan first appears in the riots of Eldera, Melophia, along with Eclair and Citie, both in the original role-play and novel.

Early Life
Lucan is the second child of Kirill Rothstein, a sorcerer hailing from the proud Rothstein family, and Lucielle Rothstein (née Chastain), a normal woman who used to live in Lonsieult, l'Esterspelle, and was a Clausist. He also has an older sister named Karen, who is two years his senior.

Born within a family of esteemed sorcerers, Lucan is expected to be at least on par with the other family members -- if not better. However, Lucan has a very poor talent as a mage (especially compared to his sister, who is a prodigy of their family) and is also physically weak, which greatly disappoints his father and his other family members. Considered as a shame to the family, some of the family members decided to execute Lucielle by assassinating her, as she is blamed for her son's inadequacy as a sorcerer, and intended to exile Lucan from Rothstein as well. While the first plan succeeds (in which it deeply causes frustration to Kirill and his children), the second plan failed because Maximillian, Kirill's youngest brother and also Lucan's uncle, stands up for him and is willing to train him to be a proficient mage, as he believes that one can become a good mage even without natural magic talents. Kirill, already depressed and disheartened, pretends to agree with Maximillian and then sends Lucan to live with his uncle and study, just to get rid of him. Firmly believing and knowing that his father doesn't truly care for him leads Lucan to utterly despise his own father.

Personality
Lucan is an extremely serious young man who is quite hard to please and very easy to anger. His brooding personality is most likely a result from how he was treated by his family in the past. Due to his aristocrat upbringing and also his dislike for being underestimated, he sometimes comes off as an overly arrogant person. He tends to put up a tough attitude towards the others and tries very much to keep his distance from them even when working together. Although he is an overly rational person who will think carefully before he acts, more often than not he can also act on impulse, especially when his strategies don't work in certain situations.
