Lucanis Dellamorte - Official Companion Thread [Spoilers]

Not now certainly unless he officially signed on with whoever sponsored the previous batch of Venatori. I think, though, that after seeing what Forfex was doing, he realised just how horrifically immoral these Venatori can be and that is what motivates him now. I keep thinking of Batman and the whole dark knight thing, except he has magic wings rather than a batmobile.

I don't think he's been laying low so much as living up to the name they gave him. He did say to Illario that if too many people got to know his face, he'd grow a beard. Perhaps he meant it, although as I've pointed out his armour is a bit of a give away. I can't imagine many people with eyes tooled all over them.

Viago was calling him Caterina's "demon grandson" before his death. It was also before word ought to have reached them what he was being called in Vyrantium because he said about Caterina calling back Lucanis from Tevinter to deal with House Kortez for her personally. Either the stories were out of order, since Illario had gone to Tevinter to call back Lucanis on the specific instructions of Caterina, or she had already recalled him because of the Qunari threat. Also, he already had unnatural, uncanny abilities before his "death", so I think any spirit association was back in his past but possibly not known to anyone else, so Illario wasn't aware that the spirit probably saved him. Either that or they did fake his death between them. If Lucanis wanted to stay in Tevinter dealing with the Venatori but without them knowing it, it would make sense for them to give out he was dead, particularly if the Venatori had sent someone against him. That way Venatori like Zara would relax and think they were safe. Meanwhile it would leave the way clear for Illario to become First Talon. The Wake never indicated if there was an actual funeral with a body, just that they were in mourning for Lucanis. Given the Andrastrian burial practice is to burn the dead, Illario could easily have maintained he did this before returning to Antiva to avoid the body becoming possessed (which I assume is the whole reason they do this).

More likely Neve knows who is killing the mages and she points us in his direction. Either that or the Crows ask for help against the Venatori and he turns up to save the day. As I've suggested previously, that could lead to a comical confrontation between him, Viago and Teia.
"You're supposed to be dead!"
"How do you know I'm not?"

I'm sure we'll know more after the podcast series but sadly we have to wait until near the end for Lucanis.

That is interessting. So no

and i will be thankfull for that.

I knew it!

yeah first bit of news which genuinely makes me want to experience his character and arc.

It’s what I’ve been saying all along. More likely the former.

Yes, I also think the former.

And i hope he is not the

I agree, it fits him. Also kinda funny in a messed-up way "The handsome demon in the larder" Like all I need is a rusty small bed, but also there must be cheese and vegetables because I like cooking. Lucanis's condition is dark, but also sort of tragically hilarious. I suspect there will be a funny side to it ("dumpster fire"), and Zach's a comedian too so he's gonna nail it!
