Biography

Lord Lucius Knight was previously known as Colonel Lucius Merriwether. He came from a family of farmers and rose the ranks as high as he could. Unable to advance further in rank due to his lower social status, he grew frustrated. Mistreated by his superiors, he made a dark pact. He promised to a great evil to own Lordship of a land, at the cost of a thousand souls. He achieved this by abusing his power as a Colonel and so he countermanded orders, redirected supplies and created general confusion. Professor Drake, brother to one of the men he had sacrificed in his bargain for power found out the truth about this. He and his brother's friends proceeded down the British sewers to a Mithraeum, a shrine to the Roman God Mithras, to conduct a ritualistic curse with a copper tablet. This ritual would trap Lord Lucius Knight's soul for eternity.
