Biography[]
| “ | I suppose some Kindred find my policies aggressive and overly conservative. Before you judge me too quickly, I should tell you something about myself.
You see, I was born in Missouri in 1863. My father was a farmer, and my two brothers and I lived in the sun, praising God before every meal and every night before we went to bed. I would go to St. Louis when my father took produce there, and I would attend dances. People would stop and watch when I danced, for with whomever my partner might be, we owned the dance floor. When I was 16, I met a special young boy at one of the dances. I never went home again. The young boy said he saw great talent and beauty in me, and he kept me as his lover for six months. He told me all the time how much he loved me and how great a dancer I could become. Then one night, just after sunset, I found a note on his pillow beside me. It was simple and read: "I thought you were the real thing. You will never be great; you will always be mundane. I leave you to your mediocrity for eternity." He had promised to make me his wife but had made me a lone monster instead. I tried to go back to my family, but they could not understand, and my father finally chased me away with his gun. I never forgave them, and I rejoiced when my last brother died 50 years ago. Since those early days, I have grown. I am a dancer now, though perhaps my Sire was right, for I am not great. Still, I have an endless life to improve, and I will spend my eternity striving for greatness, not wallowing in mediocrity. It was a Toreador who had embraced me, and his lust for my blood excited him. But like many of my kind, he soon bored of me and left me behind to pursue greater pleasures. Beware the Toreador, for we are as deceptive as we are beautiful. We Toreadors still search for our ideal. In some cases, the Toreador loses sight of her ideal and wallows instead in pleasure and passion. Those of us who can still grasp the greatness, however, strive for a greater glory never before seen on this earth. My Sire was a Toreador who had lost sight of what he sought, and he brought nothing but pain to those he touched. Despite the curse resting upon us all, we seek to bring beauty into this sad world instead of pain. As Kindred, all we touch risks destruction at our own hands, but with art and beauty, we can overcome all that; we can defeat the Beast. My greatest enemies in creating peace and furthering art are the Anarchs and their damned leader, Sir Scott. This idiot and his brainless minions do nothing but rape this city. I sometimes think Scott opposes me in Council just to anger me. It certainly wouldn't surprise me. All he does is try to shock and upset the Council. One night, I will crush him, but until then, my ghouls spend their time guarding the museums and concert halls against the Anarchs. We will prevail over ignorance and bring a new order to the Kindred, saving them from themselves. |

Lucine is the Primogen of Milwaukee, known for her rigid and conservative vision within Kindred society. Born in 1863 in Missouri, her human life was simple and devout until she was seduced by Hansen, who Embraced her and then abandoned her, leaving a deep mark on her existence.
Dedicated to the pursuit of greatness in the art of dance, Lucine sees beauty and culture as ways to transcend the Kindred curse. Despite her passion for art, her politics are aggressive, and her vision of vampire society is highly structured, putting her in conflict with the Anarchs, especially their leader, Sir Scott, whom she despises and wishes to destroy.
She represents a side of the clan that is not lost merely in hedonism but seeks an artistic and orderly ideal, maintaining influence over cultural spaces and fighting against those she sees as agents of chaos.
