Lucan Stellos is a vampire who wields the magic item called the soul blade , which adventurers are hired to retrieve. He along with his human sister Grilsha are pursued by them and other factions whilst attempting to escape to Karrnath .
History
Lucan Stellos was originally a human spy working for the Dark Lanterns . He was a well-respected agent within the spy network and was described by Viorr Maelak , another Dark Lantern agent, as being one of the best. A month ago in Sharn , Lucan discovered a secret network of vampires and dominated pawns and traced it back to a vampire named Calderus . The psionic vampire easily defeated him and transformed him into a vampire minion. She read his mind and learned of the soul blade being kept in Sharn. She ordered Lucan to retrieve the item and he cut down several of his former allies doing so. However, unknown to him or Calderus the soul blade had a mind of its own and exerted its influence over Lucan and dominated him.
Lucan was then ordered to travel to Karrnath and so sought out a reliable contact of his in Trolanport , a spy of the Royal Eyes of Aundair named Neya ir'Krell for assistance in transportation. Along with his loyal sister Grilsha Stellos, he set out in his personal coach for Zilargo . Before arriving, he was attacked by a group of adventurers hired by Viorr Maelak. He managed to escape and eventually met with Neya. Unaware of Lucan being a vampire, Neya out of loyalty to her old friend provided him with travel papers for an airship destined for Karrnath. However, the Royal Eyes demanded his capture so, playing both sides, she laid a trap for him by working with another Royal Eyes agent, Meena ir'Erdalis . Lucan escaped the trap and boarded the airship, but so did the adventurers seeking him and soon after the airship was attacked by the Emerald Claw , who also sought the soul blade . The airship was rammed out of the sky by the Emerald Claw airship and crash-landed near Sterngate . Lucan then boarded the lightning rail and resumed his journey, before the train was assaulted by Lord of Blades' agents. Killing the driver in the process, the lightning rail came to a stop and so Lucan fled to a ziggurat in the Thranish countryside.
Inside, Lucan managed to regain some of his independence from the soul blade before being confronted by the adventurers. They engaged in a deadly final battle where Lucan was finally defeated.
