Biography

Early Years

Lucient was born in city-state of Sharlayan, a fact he never hesitates to bring up if it serves to make him appear more knowledgeable and worldly. Valenteauxs were old money, preserved by generations of coattail riding. Their children were given the best of the best, and never knew struggle or want for anything that money couldn't buy. Except a unicorn. Lucient never got a unicorn and it still serves as a chip on his shoulder.

Unreasonably proud as he is of his heritage, he essentially grew up in the Shroud and not Sharlayan after the age of ten-- another fact he often neglects to add. Shortly after the fall of Ala Mhigo in 1557 his family moved to the North Shroud, just outside of Coerthas, so they could be closer to Luciaine's side of the family. It was a preemptive measure decided by the Sages of Thaliak, predicting a similarly grim fate for their city-state as the Garleans continued to expand their empire by force. It was also an opportunity to expand their ranks, taking on their pick of Ala Mhigan refugees fleeing their fallen city through the Shroud. Kael Copperblade was one among many.

Post-Calamity

The sudden loss of his sister and his comrades in the Calamity absolutely destroyed Lucient's spirit and weakened his mental state. He isolated himself inside his home in Ul'dah for six years, splitting his time between studying old Sharlayan tomes and obsessively crafting designs for the Valenteaux fashion label until his fingertips felt raw.

RELATIONS ♥ Romantic Interest    ♥ Platonic Love     ● Good Standing    ● Neutral Standing     ● Poor Standing ♥ Kael Copperblade - Kael was hired by Lucient's father as part of the Sages of Thaliak many years ago. He's carried a torch for the man since Lucient was still in adolescence, and it never quite seemed to burn out even after his six year period of isolation following the Calamity. The two were reunited after Lucient reached out to him with the goal to rebuild the Sages of Thaliak. Together they raise Lucient's niece, Lisette, as their daughter. ● Renaud Becquerel - Lucient plugged his gaping, oozing flesh-wounds with his healy-hands as Renaud bled all over his pristine white robe. That was a thing that happened. He saved the man's life after Dhemgeim ran him straight through with her blade. That robe was never the same again.

NPCs Caiceroix Valenteaux, Father. Born Sharlayan. Founded the Sages of Thaliak in 1554 in Sharlayan. It fell with the Calamity, along with many of its members while they were exploring Gelmorran ruins. The deaths of his men, his eldest daughter, and her wife rattled him to the core and he chose escapism as his coping method, impulsively fleeing to Limsa Lominsa to work at the Bismarck and leave his past behind. Luciaine "Lulu" Valenteaux, Mother. Born Ishgardian. Followed her father to Sharlayan after the separation of her parents. She was, and is still, a sensational fashion designer and lived in Ul'dah apart from Cai for many years. Their separation was finalized shortly after the Calamity. Jeanne Valenteaux, Sister. Lucient's older sister by seven years. She's the biological mother of Lisette and died in the Calamity alongside her wife while the Sages of Thaliak were exploring the ruins. Feliciane Valenteaux, Sister. Lucient's younger sister by ten years. She is a fashion mogul in Ul'dah, riding on the tailcoats of her mother's success as Lucient once did. Lisette Valenteaux, Niece. Adoptive daughter. She's a vivacious eleven year old who already displays proficiency with an axe, which Kael encourages. Lucient worries she will try to follow in Jeanne's footsteps, although he realizes he's not the best role model, either, if he wants her to live a safe and dull life off the battlefield.
