Even worse, he fully expected the man he sent to deliver the bomb to die in the fog as well, and didn't care. Kick the Dog: Aside from being a laughably poor parent to Damian (which ended up directly causing the Black Ring War and the subsequent fallout seen in Dragon Knight Saga), he also deliberately had his own Elven allies gassed by Deathfog just to take out several Black Ring operatives.
DIVINITY ORIGINAL SIN 2 THE WEAVER SERIES
Then again, the Divinity series has always played it fast and loose with continuity, and we don't know which ending the follow up game Divinity: Fallen Heroes uses, and it very well could be one of the endings in which Lucian is killed (specifically, the ending in which Source is shared with all of Rivellon, but wars break out as a result). Karma Houdini: Since the only ending of Original Sin 2 that keeps the timeline intact depicts all Source being removed from Rivellon so that the God King can be pushed back into the Void, this means that Lucian gets away with everything he did.Of course, knowing what we know about Lucian, this could be a Wounded Gazelle Gambit to get the heroes to pity him and come to his aid (which you can do). Heel Realization: In Original Sin 2 should you fight him, just before he dies, he makes a plea that the heroes be better than him and avoid his mistakes.He's also a penultimate boss in all but one of the other endings of Original Sin 2. Final Boss: For the vanilla campaign in 2 and in the evil path of Original Sin 2.Faking the Dead: Pretends to be dead in Original Sin 2.Dark Messiah: Original Sin 2 has him lie, betray his closest followers with little to no remorse, and casually commit genocide.By contrast, Original Sin 2 depicts Lucian as lying and betraying his closest followers, acquiescing to the assassination of his own son, and committing genocide. In Dragon Knight Saga, Lucian is characterized as a fairly straight Big Good whose only real mistake was messing up raising Damian, and when you briefly meet him he's very affable to the Dragon Knight despite the whole resurrecting Ygerna thing. Characterization Marches On: By Larian's own admission, continuity between the games is fairly loose, and no one is more affected than Lucian.
He's not as active as them, with Dallis acting his heavy, but his actions set the stage for the plot and his followers are recurring enemies for most of the game.
Big Bad Ensemble: One of the main antagonists of Original Sin II along with Braccus Rex and the God King.
Player: A devious plan, demon, but for one fatal error: you have lured me to your cave.
