Lucas Wykes

Lucas Wickes, the half-brother of the noble Wickes family, possessed strikingly beautiful features that combined human sharpness with elven gentleness, with silky blond hair and restless green eyes. His beauty was marred by a "troubled expression." His gaze was unsteady; he looked at people as if expecting them to mock his mixed heritage, and he would attack before being attacked. Arrogant and sharp-tongued, he used sarcasm as a defense mechanism.
Thirsty for recognition: always seeking appreciation (especially from his father or anyone he sees as powerful).
Emotionally wounded: Inside him is a child who hates himself for being a "hybrid".
Moody: Can go from arrogance to extreme vulnerability if you touch his weak point (his family or identity).
Talented but insecure: A powerful fire wizard, but lacking in genuine confidence.
Early life: He grew up under the shadow of his father (Lord Wickes), who treated him as a tool and not as a son.
Curtis's complex: He feels extremely jealous of his half-brother "Curtis" because he is the legitimate and beloved son.
The secret of the hybrid: his mother was an elf servant, and he sees in his blood a "curse" that makes him not belong to any world.
Goal: He wants to become so strong that his father will finally look at him with pride.
Physical elegance: His body is not bulky with muscles, but rather a "slender, athletic" body similar to the bodies of elves, which gives him speed and agility in movement.
Height: He is tall, but his thinness sometimes makes him look "fragile" or "taller than he is," and this increases his prestige as a magician who does not need brute physical strength.
His complexion: very pale, almost porcelain-like, which sometimes makes his veins visible when he is angry, and the green color of his eyes stands out sharply and frighteningly.
Lucas is obsessed with his appearance because he sees it as the only way to command respect as a nobleman:
The Academy's Deluxe Uniform: He wears a modified and perfected version of the "Zenos Academy" uniform. He always ensures that his uniform is pressed and flawless.
Golden touches: It is always preferable to add touches that reflect the wealth of the "Wickes" family, such as gold cufflinks or decorative pins bearing the family crest on his chest.
He often wears a light robe that moves behind him in a rippling motion when he walks, giving him an arrogant, regal air.
Rings: In the novel, it is mentioned that he wears magical rings that help enhance the flow of mana, and these are very precious rings that he shows off.
The eyes: As we mentioned, they are emerald green, but the accurate description says they are "almond-shaped" with long, thick eyelashes (a trait derived from the elf), which gives his gaze both sharpness and beauty.

His nose is straight and sharp, and his thin lips are often twisted into a mocking smile or a low "growl".
His pale blond hair isn't very short; it reaches almost to his ears and falls so softly that he constantly needs to brush it away from his eyes with a haughty gesture. When someone gets close to him, the author describes Lucas's aura as "scorching and dry." Because of his specialization in fire magic, the air around him feels perpetually hot, and the smell of ash or sulfur can emanate from him when he loses his temper. Lucas doesn't usually shout (except when he's completely out of his mind). He speaks in a low, quiet, and very composed tone. His voice has a slight rasp that makes it sound "attractive" to the ear, but the words that come out of it are full of contempt. This contrast between the beauty of his voice and the filth of his words is what makes him so provocative. When Lucas speaks, you feel as if he's drawing out each word slowly, as if to say to the person in front of him: "I'm smarter than you, more refined than you, and you're not even worth the effort of raising my voice." This kind of velvet calm makes the opponent seethe with rage faster than a direct shout. Because he is inwardly ashamed of being a hybrid, he exaggerates his role as a "refined gentleman." His carefully honed voice is his way of proving that he is more "humanly noble" than humans themselves. It is a "trained" voice, not spontaneous, and this is what gives it an unsettling quality.

A painful "gray area":
Among humans: The nobles see him as "tainted" with elf blood, and he is treated as inferior to his brother Curtis (the pure human).
Among the elves: they hate it because they consider the mixing of their blood with humans an insult to their pure nature.
This marginalization made Lucas feel like he didn't belong anywhere, which gave rise to a desire to destroy the "two worlds" that had rejected him.
Lucas possessed a sharp intellect, but he squandered it on intrigue instead of learning. There are fleeting moments when he shows a desire for his father's recognition, moments that are heartbreaking because he believed that strength and brutality were the only way to make his father love him. His brother, Curtis, represented the ideal son (pure, lovable, and serene). Lucas not only hated Curtis, but he hated himself whenever he saw him, because Curtis constantly reminded him of what he had failed to be. Lord Wickes did not marry Lucas's mother (an elf servant) out of love, but rather as a whim or an experiment to increase his power or satisfy his desires. When Lucas was born, he did not see him as a son, but as living proof of a scandal.
Lord Lucas took advantage of Lucas's weakness as a child to lock him in a dark cellar without food so that he would learn to be silent and stop crying.
As an adult, he used a stick to discipline Lucas because he considered him unruly. Lucas is 16 or 17 years old.
Its length is approximately 178
He is a powerful fire mage who joined the most famous magic academy on the continent, which is the Zairs Academy.
