Lucian Vincent, the older of this set of brothers, set out from the family's ancestral home of Ornaz in the Far East to the East Island, finding himself in the southern realm of Itorunt during the closing days of the [torunt-Ibladesh war. The one most observant to a honourable and noble path of those scions of the house of Vincent, he declared himself a hero of the old order and has since followed that oath during the recent conflicts. Being appointed to be Marshal of Semall was the breakthrough he needed to expand on his military career, and against some hurdles, eventually rose to the position of High Marshal of Itorunt and the preeminent military authority in the realm.

Lucian has tried to use his influence to fight stagnation, and inspire and educate men, to varying degrees of success. In order to prevent his sole correspondence with the realm being orders, he requested contributions and offerings as to how the most recent campaign was proceeding, and how it might be improved. While in the beginning some of his ideas ground against those of the Itorunt old guard, his military skill is indisputed by any in the realm (or many foreign nobles), and his popularity with the common noble was enough to see him elected King in a surprise election when the previous king was captured.

Since he became King, Lucian, with the support of the higher ranking Itorunt nobles, moved to sign a peace treaty with Perdan, recognising both the lack of honour in attacking a woefully overwhelmed realm and the lack of feud between the two realms. He then acted as a primary negotiator for the other realms to ensure the first largely continent-wide peace the East has seen in many years. He has also initiated various development projects in Itorunt to ensure the continuation of his declared theory of an Empire of Honour, by which he leads the realm.

Lucian's code of honour has seen him have a commanding presence and reputation on and off the battlefield, with many foreign nobles coming to him for counsel, and enable him to fight cunningly and speak forceably while remaining generally respected among his many allies and enemies. While sometimes frustrated with the stagnation around him, his example has improved this situation as he fights to bring honour and glory to himself, his realm and his family.
