Even prior to becoming an Angel of Death, Lucian had an extreme degree of arrogance and fragile pride. As a child, he would openly assault anyone who he saw as looking down on him. His perceptions of himself were reinforced as superiors (such as teachers) blamed the victim rather than him. This arrogance fueled his transformation into a powerful vampire. As a vampire, Lucian lived a lavish life. He had little patience for mistakes and would assault those who erred. Due to his strength, this would accidentally end in the underling's death.
