Underworld official bio[]
The Legend of Lucian speaks of a dark master of the Lycan horde whose memory to this day strikes fear into the hearts and souls of vampires. His Lycan powers surpass those of his kin not only in ferocity but in cunning and sophistication. Lucian's legacy left an immense amount of carnage, death and hardship for the Vampires. It has been 600 years since his rule ended, six centuries without real terror in the Underworld... until now.
Underworld[]
- (To his Lycans) "You're acting like a pack of rabid dogs! And that, gentlemen, simply will not do. Not if you expect to defeat the Vampires on their own ground. Not if you expect to survive at all."
- (To Pierce and Taylor) "Pierce! Taylor! Put some clothes on will you?"
- (To Raze) "The Vampires didn't realize you were following a human, did they Raze?"
- (To Raze) "Must I do everything myself?"
- (To Singe) "But Raze didn't bring back this."
- (To Singe) "Relax, old friend, I've tasted his flesh. Soon, he will be a Lycan. Soon, he will come looking for us."
- (To Kraven) "Calm yourself, Kraven! The human doesn't concern you. Besides, I've lain low for quite long enough."
- (To Kraven) "Remember, I've bled for you once already. Without me, you'd have nothing! You'd be nothing!"
- (To Michael) "I really must apologise. He's in desperate need in a lesson in manners. Speaking of manners, where are mine, forgive me; I'm Lucian."
- (To Michael) "We were slaves once. The daylight guardians of the Vampires. I was born in servitude. Yet I harbored them no ill will. I even took a Vampire for my bride. It was forbidden, our union. Viktor feared a blending of the species. Feared it so much, he killed her. His own daughter, burnt alive, just for loving me. This is his war. Viktor's. And he's spent the last 600 years exterminating my species."
- (To Selene) "Bite him!"
- (To Kraven) "You may have killed me, "cousin", but my will is done, regardless!"
Underworld (novel)[]
- (To Michael) "We were their guardians during the daylight hours, the hellhounds of ancient lore. At one time, we had run wild, stalked by the Vampires' relentless Death Dealers, who feared that we would incite the mortals' fury against both Lycan and Vampire alike, but by the fifteenth century, when Sonja and I dared to love each other, we had been thoroughly domesticated. We protected the Vampires by day, and in return, they took us in, fed us, clothed us, and kept us under lock and key during the nights of the full moon, when our unchecked depredations might have endangered us all. It was an age of mistrust and superstition. Suspected Werewolves were being burnt alive throughout Europe, while innocent corpses, and some not so innocent, were being staked and beheaded by fearful priests and peasants. We were forced to work together to survive, but they took advantage of the situation. It was forbidden, our union. Viktor feared a blending of the species. Feared it enough to kill his only daughter... Burned alive... for loving me... This is his war. Viktor's. He's spent the last six hundred years exterminating my species... And your blood, Michael, is going to bring an end to it all."
- "The Vampire Bitch? The one who shot me full of Silver a few nights back? She would perish with the rest of her despicable breed."
- "I hope Viktor is here. We have old scores to settle, he and I. All I need is Amelia's blood."
- "This complicated matters. I need an Elder's blood within me to achieve the next level of Immortal evolution."
- "I've been shot. You'll pay for this treachery, once I expel these cursed bullets from my flesh... What foul invention is this?
- "If only Viktor could be here to share the moment as well... The hour has come, My Love... You need wait for me no-longer. We'll be together again."
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans[]
- (To Viktor) "They're mindless beasts, Milord. No brethren of mine."
- (To Sonja) "Is that your answer then? You will not come with me, so you want me to stay here for you? Like this? Like an animal?"
- (To Sonja) "Vampire and Lycan, we are both 'children of Corvinus'. Yet my kind are slaves."
- (To Raze) "Are you afraid of me?"
- (To Raze) "I will not bite... much."
- (To Raze) "Come sunrise, I leave this place. Anyone willing to take the risk may follow. There's a new life waiting beyond those walls, my friend, and you can be apart of it. With us."
- (To the Lycan slaves) "We are not animals. Is this want you want? To be their entertainment? Their playthings? Their pets!? Cowering beneath the whip, and then fighting amongst ourselves! Is this want you want!?"
- (To the Lycan slaves) "I've lived by their rules my entire life. I've protected them, envied them, and for what? To be treated like an animal. We are not animals! We do have a choice. We can be slaves, or we can be... LYCANS!"
- (To his army) "You have a choice. You can run away and hide or stay and fight. Any man who fights with me shall have his freedom and if he wishes it immortality."
- (To Xristo) "I trust Sonja with my life, and as long as I'm in command, so will you."
- (To Viktor) "I loved her!"
