black hole

Lucien can remember being around for something like 412 years (give or take), and he’s been a demon for about 390 of them.

Which means he was an angel for maybe 20 or so years before his descent. It’s obvious to mention, but worth saying --- he has no intentions of winning his way back into heaven. He’s fully accepted his fate as a demon, enjoys it, and likes living with as much ability to screw with people as he has. He’s gotten pretty good with it.

He has a nice setup that he’s worked with the past couple of years in LA: he runs a gentleman’s club with a strict “no touch” policy. He treats his girls extremely well (he does not mix work with pleasure, thank you) and he draws in a decent customer base.

But it’s a front. He’s a “mover” in the black market. Basically you bring him a product and he finds a buyer for it. Doesn’t matter what the product is: drugs, people, organs, etc. He finds a buyer and moves it along --- of course he take a percentage of the cut for his services.

Back to the idea of his fall: he actually descended because he was in love with a human. It was a muddled experience and he didn’t want to have his “angelic duties” while he was busy attempting to have a relationship with a human. So he fell and discovered how satisfying it was to be fallen.

Human died, as humans do, and ascended. She did not fall for him --- so he fully submerged himself into sinful delights. He’s never looked back.

He’s also not the biggest purveyor or believer in love. The experience soured him to it, but he’s also kind of just spent the past 300 something years of his life messing around and causing all kinds of havoc. So he doesn’t really care, honestly.

As far as connections or plots go:

He’s been around for so long I figure he knows some people. Any connection could be worked out: old partners, agents of chaos, someone who knew him in the brief time he spent as an angel, etc. I’m open to plots.
