Lucian was the Pope of the Catholic Church Apostolic in Europa. He did not favour the Church's oppressiveness, and wanted to make a truce with the Domino Order who were rebelling against it. Before that could happen, he was killed by a statue of the Archangel Michael animated by Sperano. While the Cardinals were vying to fill the power vacuum, Lucian apparently returned from the dead. In fact, it was Sperano impersonating the Pope, sowing confusion while Cardinal Agostini arranged for the deaths of some of the other Cardinals to secure his own position. (PROSE: Managra)
