Few public figures in Sartier evoke the fear and dread of Lucas Capo, the Spider of Carentan. A master of intrigue and deception, he layers his plots, schemes and gambits deeply, with foresight and subtlety. In his younger days, people told him he was mad to pursue the Symphony's daughter, as he could never be her Marshall. But he knew that Theresa secretly didn't want to be the Executive her parents expected of her, and that he could offer her what she truly wanted. Together they have forged one of the most dangerous and effective regimes Sartier has ever seen, whose plots can change a kingdom. A brutally austere man, Lucas eschews all vices that control the user, setting aside any extravagant displays of fortune and excess in favour of clean simplicity. His one indulgence is that of the flesh, as even in his advancing years he maintains a steady string of trysts.
Dominic - "Lucas is probably the most frightening man in all of Sartier. With his Spymistress, Alouette, he is a cold-blooded schemer, holding himself in total self-control. Never take him lightly."
Evelyn - "His daughter and heir, Alana, is another old friend of mine, and I know Lucas through her. Spooky man, not through anything overt that he does. He just has a presence. Oh, right, and a trail of bodies that goes on for miles."
