Description
Lucius Oriflamme, known as Luca, is a young vampire of noble lineage and heir apparent to the Oriflamme Dukedom, holding the title of Grand Duke within vampire society. Despite his pre-adolescent appearance, he occupies one of the most influential positions among vampires. His adoptive uncle, August Ruthven, manages his duties until Luca comes of age. Luca possesses a short stature, a round childlike face, thin eyebrows, large upturned green eyes, long eyelashes, and short reddish-brown hair with distinctive cowlicks. He typically wears formal attire: a green, silver-detailed mantle resembling a houppelande, black shorts, a white shirt, white socks, black shoes, and often a hat.
Outwardly calm, responsible, and mature, Luca strives to meet the expectations of his rank. He exhibits moments of naivety and shyness around favored individuals but possesses a strong, underestimated will. He harbors deep protectiveness toward those he cares for, especially his chevalier, Jeanne. This protectiveness erupts into intense aggression and explosive emotional reactions when Jeanne is endangered, harmed, or harassed. Luca frequently suppresses his childish tendencies but displays nervous habits like clutching his clothes, bag, or hands when distressed or anxious.
His involvement begins in Paris, confronting Vanitas and Noé Archiviste to demand the Book of Vanitas to cure his cursed older brother, Loki. When Vanitas refuses and mocks him, Luca orders Jeanne to attack. He later apologizes to Noé during the Bal Masqué arc, acknowledging his earlier immaturity. At the ball, he witnesses Vanitas reveal himself as a Kin of the Blue Moon and aids Noé against Charlatan's forces, though powerless against antagonists like Naenia.
Luca's protective nature surfaces violently when Vanitas kisses Jeanne without consent, triggering his pyrokinesis—an ability to generate explosive flames with limited control. He confronts Vanitas at a café, demanding a genuine apology for harassing Jeanne. His concern intensifies in the Beast of Gévaudan arc when he vehemently opposes a senate proposal to execute Jeanne, leveraging his Grand Duke authority to declare her his Borreau and secure her safety.
Later arcs show his unease with Jeanne's romantic feelings for Vanitas, prompting him to seek Dominique de Sade's help to understand Jeanne's emotions. He observes changes in Dominique's behavior and requests Jeanne's assistance when Dominique disappears. Amidst this, he expresses a longing to grow up quickly, particularly while watching Jeanne enjoy activities like dancing.
His abilities include standard vampire-enhanced speed, strength, and endurance, but his distinct power is pyrokinesis, producing fire from his body during extreme emotional outbursts, which he lacks full mastery over.
Relationships define much of his actions. He shares a close, trusting bond with Ruthven, his parental figure. His deepest loyalty is to Loki, whom he cherishes and strives to save. He is profoundly devoted to Jeanne, treating her with affection and fierce protectiveness. His interactions with Noé evolve from initial hostility to mutual respect and friendship.
Luca's development shows a gradual shift from impulsive reactions toward measured assertiveness, evident in his senate intervention for Jeanne. His youth remains a recurring theme, influencing his emotional vulnerability and desire for maturity. His story intertwines with central mysteries, including the status of the vampire queen Faustina, whose awakening he witnesses alongside Loki.
