Rather than having Lucanis be possessed or something like that, I think the purplish glow might have more to do with the general color palette for Veilguard. As in, the color purple is meaningful, like previously green signified the Fade or something related to the Fade. I'm hoping it may be just to do with the fact that he has some unique equipment as a Master Assassin for the Crows (they are wings after all) or he has acquired since he went solo from his new sponsor. This idea is reinforced somewhat by the top down look on the group because the wings definitely seem to have come from the back of his cloak/jacket, although I suppose it is equally possible that if they are a manifestation of spirit wings they could simply be located there for aesthetics. They don't seem to be for flying so probably some sort of shielding effect. His cloak in the tarot card even has purple wings as a motiff. Although the short story about the Crows from 2022 was called As we Fly and the concept art showed Crows leaping off buildings and sort of gliding downwards, so perhaps that has something to do with it. Purple definitely seems to have some connection with the Veilguard because Rook's clothing is purple in the trailer. As for the glowing eyes, well Emmrich's glow as well and are much more obvious than Lucanis'. So, it could be something symbolic rather than actual possession. Surely they wouldn't have two people possessed in the game? Even if he is, that isn't the end of the world because as has been demonstrated with both Solas' friend Wisdom/Pride, Cole's Compassion/Despair and Anders Justice/Vengeance, every demon is really just a spirit that has been corrupted into its opposite attribute and yet can be restored with the right encouragement to its more positive nature. If Lucanis is possessed, I think a spirit of Justice is the most likely candidate because that was very much his motivation in Tevinter Nights and his cousin, Illario, pointed out that is not how Crows usually approach a job; they are purely in it for the fee and morality doesn't enter into it. You get the job done and get out. It is actually why I wanted to meet Lucanis after Tevinter Nights because I was interested to learn was brought about this change in him when his education from a young child had been geared towards conditioning him to act without regard to anything else.

Just a silly thing that made me smile while re-reading The Wigmaker Job:
«Illario rolled his eyes. "You know what i mean. The Venatori already have your name. If they learn your face-" "I`ll grow a beard." Lucanis smirked. "They`ll never see me coming."»

I hope he doesn't have a problem with tall women like dear Cullen.

" I`ll grow a beard." Lucanis smirked. "They`ll never see me coming."» What I find even funnier is that apparently he did exactly that. I imagined him as clean shaven after that quote, or at least just designer stubble and then we were presented with him in the trailer. I wonder if it will be possible to get him to shave? ![:lol:](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/qUctXNjCPgwPaLsZeKry.png)

![:blink:](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/mYKVZsYKhOsPsltcpJZF.png) I'm getting a (mysterious, stabby and hot AF) like Wynne vibe from this guy - maybe revived or kept alive by a benevolent(?) Fade spirit... not totally Wynne though, and not quite Anders, nor Cole. Something between (or both?) human and spirit, man and demon, life and death. ...Plus, he likes coffee. We've already so much in common! 🖤

I’ve been watching various YouTube videos of folks who have gotten to play, and someone (can’t remember who I think maybe KalaElisabeth) said that Lucanis is like 2% mage. I hope he isn’t possessed, we have had possessed companions and I’m not sure a Lucanis abomination would bring anything new or interesting. Now I’m pretty sure the Emmeric is undead, but probably like the pov character in his Tevinter Nights story, not possessed by a random spirit but more like his original spirit refused to leave or move on. Which would be something new to explore.
I really want to know who voices him. Also what do they mean by a disaster person? Context tells me he has a ton of red flags but do the terms dumpster fire and disaster person mean in any particular way?

Emmrich is my Vincent price dad and Davrin is my bestest pal. Sometimes, Lucanis gets too murdery. But hey, that’s family.

My understanding is that when a person is described as a [sexual orientation] disaster, it means that they have strong attractions but difficulty expressing them in any way that isn't utterly embarrassing.

Considering he is from a powerful family, it could be that his grandmother sought a mage to help Lucanis repress his innate magical ability and resist demonic possession so that he wouldn't have to go into a circle.

Thanks! I could tell I was missing something, I thought the bisexual part of the disaster was unimportant. Well he is described as being socially awkward. 😄 I think I can deal with an awkward murder-happy love interest! After all most of my PC tend to also get murder-happy, even when I start with them being a pacifist.

I think he might've always had a sort of affinity with the Fade (hence his "sixth sense", symbolized by the purple eyes). And maybe he didn't fake his own death, he might've actually died but come back a little different from that experience (purple wings n' all), more than human in a way.
Could even be that his "sixth sense" came from a spirit (guardian spirit, angel, demon... whatever you wanna call it) but having died or nearly died + the events of Veilguard, whatever that's different with him is now more powerful or pronounced and something he can now tap into.

I do find his description in The Veilguard interesting, so he's a bisexual dumpster fire and socially awkward, whereas he didn't seem that way in The Wigmaker Job. At least from what we got in that story, I would describe him as serious, having a heart deep down (letting the slaves go and making the assassination harder for himself because he wants the evil blood mage to suffer before he dies) and having a sense of humour since he loves to mock his cousin. He also didnt strike me as a socially awkward person at all.
But then again it's probably been a few years since The Wigmaker Job and something terrible could have happened to him to change his personality.

But then again it's probably been a few years since The Wigmaker Job and something terrible could have happened to him to change his personality. Maybe even before. Wasn't there something about Lucanis acting "not like himself" or whatever (I need a re-read! lol)? Didn't he destroy an elven artefact keeping spirits at bay, causing people to be possessed? So - and especially if he's always been Fade-sensitive - what if something happened to him also? Is it a Wynne-adjacent situation... or Anders? Some variation of it? Did he catch a case of The Dark Passenger? Or is it only his (fine!) body we're seeing, but someone something else is driving? The possibilities are numerous, but I believe something's definitely up.

Mary Kirby @biomarykirby· Yes. I love this. She is having such fun watching our reaction to Lucanis now she's no longer part of the team. Considering he is from a powerful family, it could be that his grandmother sought a mage to help Lucanis repress his innate magical ability and resist demonic possession so that he wouldn't have to go into a circle. Now that's an interesting thought. May be she asked a Rivaini wise woman and like the Avvar she suggested possession by a friendly spirit would do the trick and it never left him.
