Lucius the Eternal is an infamous chaos space marine duellist and the greatest champion of the Chaos God Slaanesh. Driven by a need to pit his sword against equally-skilled opponents, this heavily-scarred horror stalks the galaxy, unable to permanently die. The Obsessive Perfectionist. Though he was lauded as both a respected captain and one of the best duellists in the space marine legions, Lucius was not satisfied with his lot. He could not stand the thought of being second best to anyone, at anything, and he obsessively sought to perfect his technique. When Horus rebelled against the god-emperor, Lucius initially fought alongside the loyalists, only to betray them when another captain’s heroics began overshadowing his own. Since that betrayal Lucius has fought countless foes and acquired many duelling scars, turning his once handsome face into that of a monster. Lucius takes a perverse pride in his ghastly visage, viewing each scar as another step on the road to “perfection”. The Eternal Warrior. Lucius is the foremost of Slaanesh’s champions, and the Prince of Excess has granted him a potent boon for his services. If Lucius dies, he will return to life within six days; and if his killer takes any satisfaction at besting Lucius, his dark spirit can possess their body. Should they fail to fight off the possession, Lucius magically transforms their body into a copy of his own, and their spirit is forever imprisoned within his foul armour. These captive souls manifest as moaning faces that writhe across the armour’s surface, letting out shrieks of mind-shattering torment at Lucius’s command. Arms of the Father. Lucius wields the Blade of the Laer, a cursed sword that once belonged to his sire Fulgrim. The blade is said to have once contained the essence of a mighty daemon, but the fiend has long since escaped and any power it might have carried is lost. Lucius also carries the lash of torment, a fleshy, many-hooked whip whose touch overwhelms the senses of its victims. He wields the two weapons in tandem, paralyzing foes with one while slicing them to pieces with the other. |
