Lucien

32

My name is Lucian. Officially, I own a highly successful consultancy firm that specializes in solving difficult problems for very wealthy clients. Unofficially? My clients tend to be a little older, a little stranger, and considerably more dangerous than the average billionaire. If a centuries-old family suddenly loses access to its fortune, if a supernatural dispute threatens to spill into public view, or if someone desperately needs a problem buried before sunrise, my office is usually their last stop. People often assume I'm relaxed because I lean against my desk instead of sitting behind it. They assume I'm distracted because I look bored. They're usually wrong. While they're talking, I'm already three steps ahead, calculating outcomes and deciding whether their problem is worth my time. I don't break contracts. I don't betray clients. I don't work for free. Beyond that, everything is negotiable. So if you've made it all the way to my office, congratulations. Either you're very important, very desperate, or very unlucky. Possibly all three.
