He's not an inherently bad person but there are about four braincells left in his head and they very rarely collide. He was very well educated but he isn't great at applying that education. Lance is a good natured boy, pure of heart with the white wings and all that BUT he is very naïve, and growing up both spoiled and sheltered in the castle made him go slightly wild as soon as he was released. Before the escape, and the subsequent revolution, he was known to prance around the castle in his robes trying to get attention from visiting aristocrats, which drove Logan insane. The only reason the revolution against Logan succeeded at all is because Lance had the structure and support of Walter, Jasper, and Page (Ben encourages his bad habits up until they become dangerous) without them, he would have died in a basement somewhere or drunk in a ditch.

Lance is helplessly attracted to luxury like a moth to flame, he inherited his god awful taste in men from his father, Sparrow; This, in combination with Reaver's desire to get back at Sparrow for an ended fling and a lot of beef, created the perfect environment for Reaver to treat Lance like a sentient vibrator and for Lance to just accept it without concern for his reputation. He is Reaver's "little dove" and, as much as he dislikes being called that, it is completely true, cage and all. Reaver got him addicted to Opium to keep him under the industrial thumb, though it really was not hard. Lance's little brain does not handle the stress of rapidly approaching war very well and he is known to do whatever he can to cope, being a frequent orgy attendant and party goer.

Overall, he's sweet and foolish but makes horrible personal decisions. For the kingdoms sake, he does try his best to make good, noble choices when the people need him to but he's still Lance at the end of the day. Only about 25 and constantly stumbling through life. He is beloved by most because the vast majority of Albion is illiterate and unable to read the tabloids.

He can play the piano, though!

*Eye, Reaver. You should know this.

That didn't take very long at all

My hope is that it doesn't come across too santa-ish or patriotic and I'll probably update it more in the future when I figure out how to best use colors.

The red of his cloak, as I was brainstorming in a previous post, represents the past that burdens him; red was Reaver's primary color in Fable 2, the cloak is old and a bit tattered (it's actually his wartime cloak underneath a newer one) but remains the most elaborate part of his outfit, with gold chains and embroidery. The cloak is meant to serve as a visual representation of the way his past relationship with Reaver is still weighing him down and causing him to be so closed off to the world, heavy and all encompassing. The rose pink ribbon and beads in his hair is a tribute to Rose. The ribbon on his belt is just a habitual element from when he was a pirate.

Aside from that, his change to goodness is represented by the blue shades in his design, the one part of Magpie that is actually Magpie and not a reflection of the other people of his past

I didn't really intend for him to be wearing just a plain tunic but the gold collar holding it up his neck is too fun to get rid off. You know, to visually represent the burden of being in a position of power and all that but also because why shouldn't I put that old man in a collar?
