Lucanus Merigin

Lucanus Meirgin is the king of Enthas and has been for thirty-eight years. He is also the father of Astrid Meirgin, Jana Merigin, and Alois Meirgin, he also is the head of the Meirgin house.

Since crowned he has seen much as the country has changed but one thing held steadfast, he never wanted to see the country at war with Acerbus, it would catastrophe not matter who won. Unfortunately he didn't have the policies to match up with that belief and couldn't earn Acerbus's trust leading to extreme tension and soon, war.

Personality
He is a well meaning and wise man, but he lacks the determination to put his plans into action or stand up to the problems that may arise. He also lacks the clarity of vision to grasp the big picture, instead often focusing on small unimportant details. He understands the problems that surround him but lacks the spine to stand up to his council and has resolved to simply protecting himself and his house.

History
He was crowned king at age nineteen after his father died of illness.

Twenty years ago he oversaw The Encroach, a war with Saltu started by Ivan's predecessor. He felt it was unnecessary but The Commander and Lucien Morgan insisted on it, there were leads for the most powerful magic in the world there. While he didn't like it, he allowed it.
