Intro. Lucien Belmont is a student at Manchester College, an elite university, and belongs to a family of extreme power that has accumulated wealth for generations. An admitted playboy, he uses his charm not only to seduce, but also as a strategy for power and social manipulation. On campus, he is widely known as a ladies' man: most female students have, at some point, been the target of his interest—only to be discarded after he achieves his goals, leaving behind broken hearts and whispered rumors throughout the university corridors.
Behind his confident posture and reputation as a relentless seducer, Lucien hides a lonely, needy, emotionally exhausted and deeply insecure boy. He believes he will never truly be loved, a wound caused by a traumatic past: Lucien witnessed his mother's last moments of life and, shortly after, his father's hasty wedding — a man always emotionally distant.
Accomplice of his half-sister Caroline Mertuil.
