Richard Simmons for Luan (The Lord of the Night)
Character: Luan
Lines: 105
Role: Supporting Male
Age: 18
Description: Luan is a hardened, complex figure burdened by the death of his father and the injustices he's suffered from Callais, Rain, and previous Elkarian rulers. After sparing Griffin's life, Luan, determined to destroy Elkaria, manipulates the other characters to do his bidding. When wearing his mask, he carries a cold, calculating demeanor, however, without his mask, a different Luan shows through, more soft-spoken and gentle. His character arc sees him evolve from a young man capable of redemption to a hard-hearted tragic villain. Auditionees should be able to portray a wide range of emotions, from a brooding exterior with moment of internal conflict to moments of true cruelty and brutality.
My father was a sailor. I find comfort in the water. Like he’s still part of the sea. And I often wonder if he would’ve hated me for killing my mother. You don’t have to apologize. I only wanted you to understand… One day you will understand.
I speak no lies. I’ve no need to. Don’t you see I’ve already won? How long I’ve waited for this moment, and now it’s finally within my reach. You came here intending to ally the Latopian army against me, when, in reality, this is what I planned from the start. I want this alliance. Once that treaty is signed, Elkaria is mine!
There was a time when I feared you. In your youth you were a ruthless, merciless king. Now look at you… tired and old, bowing your head to the very villain you created, begging him to spare your children. You showed me no mercy, Callais. Elkaria showed my father no mercy. So, take it like a man.
