Lucas

Lucas is a main character in the Sovereign trilogy.

Personality and traits
Lucas is tall and lean, and very handsome. He appears to be around 20, which matches his actual age during the events of the Sovereign series, though he will not appear older as he ages. He has pale skin and fairly long, almost black hair. His eyes are dark, though the whites of his eyes do contain the silver strands that signify his race; later, he is able to mask this. When he falls in love, his eyes silver fully. He has long dark eyelashes and strong dark shadows under his eyes. He has a kind smile which Julia describes as full of 'gentle contentment' His hands are calloused from working in his garden. He smells of fresh mint and honey.

Before he joins the effort to rescue Emmy, he is very gentle. Cam describes his walk as 'loping and hesitant', and says that he seems very young and uncertain, 'young enough that he still teetered in his new adult body, like a foal trying to find its feet.' However, he is very skilled at fighting, and has a lot of stamina. After his time with the Solis Invicti, his shoulders are wider, he is more tanned, and he is more muscular all over, with a much more disciplined stance. His jaw seems squarer, and he has more stubble.

He wears a full-length cloak with a hood; his clothes are barely better quality than a Server's. One of his ears is pierced, and he wears two small silver studs in it; he later gives one to Julia. When he carries a bag, he wears it 'slung awkwardly over his shoulder so it tip[s] his hips out of alignment'.

Lucas is extremely kind, and more gentle than many of the Silver. He is a little naive and idealistic, and is frustrated by being treated like a child by the older Silver; his clothes and meals are of lower quality than those provided to the other Silver. He enjoys reading, gardening, and cooking, and would rather be outside than indoors. He is very informal and considers many of the Silver ways stuffy. His abandonment by his parents has left him with a bitter streak, and he can become surly if they are brought up, in contrast to his usual pleasant disposition.
