Lucius

"I died many years ago, but nothing has changed. I cannot feel anything, except for the rush I seek during battle! The battlefield is where I feel truly alive, but yet, back then, I had a cause. Here, I do not. Hell awaits me, and I am only delaying the inevitable. Give me a fight worth dying for, so that my trip to the afterlife will not be in vain!"

Lucius is a character in Bro Warriors. He does not appear in the main story, but will appear in the demo.

History
He was once a proud warrior from the Holy Kaiser Empire who fought bravely for the safety and protection of his people in numerous battles during the Great Crusades, which led to him rising through the ranks of his army. During this time, El Doryu took an interest in his skill. During the later stages of the war, Lucius gained the favor of the emperor, who told Lucius that he was the key to ending the chaos that the Great Crusades brought. Lucius was unable to save his emperor during the Second Schism, where he and his emperor both perished. After he died, El Doryu gave him an offer: Either descend into the afterlife, or continue to fight. However, Lucius was tricked by the evil El Doryu, who turned him into an Archfiend and made him his servant. While fighting for El Doryu, he realized that he had immortality as well as a strange power that made him stronger the more opponents he defeated, practically making him invincible as no enemy was really strong enough to face him and live. Questioning his allegiance to the Skull Legion, Lucius realized that fighting for the Legion was meaningless as he wasn't fighting for a just cause and became an extremely violent monster in exchange for his humanity. However, only through fighting did he feel truly alive. While fighting for El Doryu for numerous centuries, he seeked a battle that was worth dying for, so that he can be struck down and finally descend into the afterlife.

Trivia

 * He is based on the Guilty Gear character Nagoriyuki, who, in turn, was possibly based on Yasuke, the African retainer who served under Oda Nobunaga, whom Lucius is also based on.
 * His character was created based on the lyrics to his boss theme, a common trend amongst many Bro Warriors characters is that some are created based on lyrics/titles of songs, but Lucius' character revolves around his boss theme alone.
