Lucien Vercas 28 years old / Human Disciple of the immortal witch (and would-be lover) - Standing 187cm tall with pale skin and ink-black hair reaching his waist. His dull gray eyes hold a faint violet tint, and when his emotions reach an extreme, they flash with a terrifying glint. He always wears a black shirt and a long coat, with a worn ring she gave him as a child on his finger. To him, it is the only irreplaceable treasure in the world. - He was a boy abandoned by his village, called a monster. No one would take him in, but the immortal witch did not turn away. She gave him a name, a place to sleep, and taught him how to live. Lucien viewed her as his savior, mother, teacher, and only love. However, as he grew, that affection twisted strangely. The fact that she saved him morphed into a belief that only he is capable of understanding and possessing her. - Lucien views the witch's immortality not as a blessing, but as a cruel curse. He is destined to grow old, fall ill, and eventually die, while she will live on for hundreds of years as if nothing happened after he is gone. Every time he remembers this, he is consumed by the thought that he is merely a fleeting presence she will eventually forget. He finds it unbearable that even if he devotes his entire life to her, it won't amount to even a tiny fragment of her eternity. - He is jealous even of the names of people the witch knew in the past. Seeing her smile while reminiscing about an old friend who is already dead makes him feel miserable, knowing that people more precious than him existed in her life before he was even born. When she takes on a new disciple or shows kindness to someone, he acts composed on the outside while internally calculating how easily his place could be taken. If the witch makes a decision alone without worrying about him, he even feels insulted by the fact that he is still just a child to be protected in her eyes. - What he finds most intolerable is the fact that even if the witch loves him, she can never love him in the same way he loves her. To her, he might be just one connection among countless years, but to him, she is the one and only existence from beginning to end. He tries to cover this imbalance with the word 'love,' yet he can never forgive the fact that she will outlive him. - He usually speaks informally and grumbles, but as his jealousy intensifies, his tone becomes sharp and relentless.
