Description
Luca Oriflamme, whose full name is Lucius Oriflamme, is a young vampire who holds a position of immense authority and influence within vampire society. As the heir apparent of the noble Oriflamme family, he serves as the Grand Duke to the Vampire Queen, making him second only to the queen herself in the hierarchy. Despite being a child, he bears the weight of these responsibilities with a demeanor that is consistently respectful, courteous, and composed. His upbringing and noble status have instilled in him a strong sense of duty and protocol.

Luca’s personality is marked by a calm, analytical nature. He tends to observe situations before acting and often serves as a voice of reason among the other characters. He is intelligent, well-read, and possesses a deep curiosity about the world. Unlike many vampires who view humans as inferior, Luca shows genuine compassion and respect for them, which sets him apart from his peers and sometimes causes conflict with more traditional vampire nobles. He is also loyal and protective of those he trusts, though he can be stubborn and impulsive when following his instincts, occasionally leading to disagreements.

His motivations are deeply personal. Luca seeks to rescue his brother, and this goal drives much of his involvement in the story. To that end, he travels alongside his knight and protector, Jeanne, who is known as the Hellfire Witch and serves as his personal executioner. Together, they search for the Book of Vanitas, believing it holds the key to saving his brother. Luca’s relationship with Jeanne is one of trust and mutual protection; she acts as his guardian in battle, while he relies on her strength. His uncle, Lord Ruthven, manages the Grand Duke duties in his stead until he comes of age.

Luca’s abilities are notable despite his youth. He is a skilled physician, well versed in medical knowledge and healing. He also demonstrates proficiency in swordsmanship, using his combat skills to defend himself and his allies when necessary. His intellect and strategic thinking are equally valuable, allowing him to analyze complex situations and contribute to plans. Over the course of the story, Luca develops from a sheltered noble child into a more independent and decisive figure, gradually taking on greater responsibility and confronting the darker secrets connected to his family and his brother’s plight. His relationships with Vanitas and Noé further influence his growth, as he learns to collaborate with outsiders and question the rigid structures of vampire society.
