Lucian Angelus Marcel Burke
PERSONALITY Boggart: Faced with boggart, Lucian would see his siblings, on fire and crying out for help. He loves his family very much and as the oldest of the Burke children, Lucian feels responsible for them in a way, despite most of them being grown. Mirror of Erised: If Lucian were to look upon the Mirror of Erised he would see himself standing beside his true love, Kathleen. Patronus: Mink - Lucian's happiest memory is also tarnished by the reality of the situation, in that he cannot be with the woman he loves. If not for that sad fact, Lucian would be able to produce a patronus by conjuring the memory of Kathleen telling him she loved him for the first time. Lucian is a very casual, laid back fellow. He enjoys the leisurely life his family's wealth has afforded him and he intends on keeping things that way. He doesn't like to be pressed for time and a tight schedule simply will not do. As such, he has employees to work the apothecary shop that he owns and they take orders for the more exclusive items so that he can brew them in his own time. Despite his leisurely pace, Lucian is a savvy businessman, taking after his father in that regard. He hires the proper people to take care of the day to day dealings and isn't afraid to lay down the law, if needed. Lucian loves his family dearly and will do anything within his power to protect them. This can come of as a little hyper-vigilant, especially with his sisters, but it is only out of love. He can recognize the fine line between protective and possessive and always aims to stay on the proper side of things. He is very proud of the direction his siblings' lives have taken and he supports them in all of their endeavors. His friendships fall somewhere in between his intense loyalty (as with his family) and his relaxed attitude towards life. Lucian is a good friend, loyal though not to a fault. He sees people for who they are and if he finds them worthy then he accepts them, faults and all. He doesn't waste his time with brown-nosers or sneaks. Trying to befriend him just to get in with his family, or his family's money, is not going to end well and while Lucian doesn't like to get his hands dirty, he's not above hiring the proper sort to have things taken care of. HISTORY Mother: Elisabetta Grace Marie Burke (Borgin), 52, Slytherin, pureblood Father: Robert Ivan Burke, 56, Slytherin, pure blood Siblings: Lilith, 23, Ravenclaw, pureblood Lyra, 21, Ravenclaw, pureblood Livia, 20, Slytherin, pure blood Lysander, 18, Slytherin pure blood Partners: _________, 20-24, fiancee Others: Christian Burke, paternal uncle Catarina Burke (Avery), paternal grandma Edgar Burke, paternal grandpa Hetta Borgin (Rosier), maternal grandma Frederich Borgin, maternal grandpa Urbosa Borgin, maternal aunt Mipha Borgin, maternal aunt Lana Borgin, maternal aunt Impa Borgin, maternal aunt Epona Borgin, maternal aunt Septimus Borgin, maternal uncle The Burkes are a big family but loving as hell. Elisabetta and Robert have set the perfect example for their children of what a loving and caring relationship should look like and how a pureblood family should behave. How Betty and Bob got together is old news by now, and as Livia likes to point out, they used to screw like rabbits which is how they ended up with so many children, which you've all heard before. It should be fairly obvious based on their social standing but what the Burkes wanted most for their newly begun family was a son; an heir. They were successful their first go round. Having the back up heir proved a bit more difficult, but then, it's hard to follow such an amazing first act. Lucian had a lovely childhood. He was spoiled just the right amount, loved just the right amount, reprimanded just the right amount, and given just the right amount of freedom to make his own way in the world. Growing up, he took on the role of big brother with ease and perhaps at times a little too much enthusiasm. He was suspicious of his sisters' boyfriends and interrogated them in the school corridors about their intentions. Lucian was smart enough to recognize that there were people in this world who would use whatever means possible to get what they wanted, and he would have his sisters' hearts broken over some idiot trying to make a quick galleon on the Burke name. Planning a career in business like his father after he graduated from school, Lucian experimented with elixirs like most young boys who had too much money and nowhere to spend it. He found most dealers didn't quite measure up and, being good with potions, Lucian decided to try his hand at it. Over the years he perfected his elixirs and made a pretty knut selling them to his classmates. He continued on after graduation, claiming it to be a side project but making too much money with it to ignore that it was what he was actually good at. He has his own shop now, of which he sells legal potions, but anyone in the know knows that the upscale apothecary shop is really just a front, and for the right price Lucian can create for you a wonderful, temporary oblivion. After graduating, Lucian met a witch; Kathleen DuBois. Originally from France, she was staying with her aunt in Ireland where she quite literally bumped into Lucian on the street. Lucian was 20, Kathleen 18. They fell in love instantly and as often as they could, would travel between England and France to be with one another. Lucian offered to move to France permentantly to be with her but whenever talk of their future arose Kathleen would become quiet and distant. A long distance relationship was not ideal but Lucian was willing to make it work because, as he told her several times over, he loved her with every fiber of his being. That being true made it all the more difficult when he discovered the reason why Kathleen would never agree to leaving France for him, or allowing him to move for her; she was engaged to another wizard. An arranged marriage, orchestrated by her parents with some wealthy bloke in Ireland; Ronan Foley. It had been this fiancee that she was visiting when she met Lucian, not her aunt as she had claimed. Lucian begged her to call off the wedding but her father refused to hear of such things and Kathleen was reluctant to disobey. Lucian stood in the back of the chapel on Kathleen's wedding day, watching the woman he loved marry another man. He contemplated stealing her away, interrupting the ceremony and claiming Kathleen for his own but he couldn't sully her name like that. He cared too much for her and so he stood silently as Kathleen exchanged vows with her groom, promising to love, honor, and obey him. That should have been the last time he saw her, but sadly it was not. The Foleys were a well-to-do pureblooded family who often did business with some of the companies the Burkes had investments in and as such they attended several of the same social events. Multiple times a year Lucian would be forced to shake Ronan Foley's hand, engage in small talk about the weather or Ronan and Kathleen's twin boys, and pretend that he had never been "the other man" to Ronan's wife. After a few years of freedom from school and not long after Kathleen's wedding, Robert and Elisabetta told Lucian that it was time for him to start settling down. He needed to continue the family name. A marriage was arranged and while Lucian has not taken the total leap into marriage just yet, it is now clearly looming just around the corner.
