Lucal Wesker

Lucal Wesker (Kanji? Lucal Wesker?) is a fifteenth progenitor of the vampires and a member of Third Progenitor Lest Karr's faction.

Appearance
This vampire has no eyebrows and appears to wear extremely dark makeup around his eyes, giving him an appearance not unlike Marylin Manson. He also wears extremely dark lipstick. His scalp is shaved on the right. He has straight shoulder-length hair, and he has bangs down the left side of his face. Like all true vampires, he has fangs, red eyes, and pointed ears. His earlobes have one simple piercing each.

He wears a top hat with a band around it. He wears a white shawl not unlike Ferid Bathory's, but he wears a collar popped up. He has numerous thick dark ruffles trailing down from his neck piece. He wears a lengthy white shirt that reaches his thighs. His shirt has large black cuffs that cover most of his forearm. Like most vampires, he wears white gloves. He wears a black belt. He has a second cape at his waist that trails to his mid-calf. He wears black thigh-high boots with the tops pointed downward to reveal the white material.

Personality
A stupid, extremely proud, pompous, and temperamental vampire. He becomes angry easily. Although he is proud enough to want to ignore Krul Tepes's orders and he considers her to have an insufferable attitude, he is not quite dumb enough to ignore them to his face. He values his life and no one else's. During a sniping attempt against him, he sacrifice's his servant's life to block the attack rather than merely getting out of the way.

He thinks of humans as maggots.

History

Story
At 1400 every day (also known as 2 pm), Fifteenth Progenitor Lucal Wesker, sits on a bench in the park plaza at his ward in Nagoya. He does the same the day the Moon Demon Company enters Nagoya. He chats with his servant Esther, talking about the wonderful weather while inviting Esther to join him while sipping the blood of a four-year-old girl from a wine glass. He asks Esther about the missive Third Progenitor Krul Tepes sent them, which discusses destroying the Japanese Imperial Demon Army in Tokyo. He calls her insufferable. As he and Esther belong to a different faction, they refuse to obey requests from Lady Krul as long as there are no direct orders from the Progenitor Council. He asks Esther what the opinions of the other ten nobles are, and Esther tells him they vary.

He asks about Thirteenth Progenitor Crowley Eusford, who belongs to Seventh Progenitor Ferid Bathory's faction. He and Esther have no idea what they are up to. Lady Krul is sending humans to them as gifts, but Lucal does not want them. He quickly changes his attitude when he learns Lady Krul is coming in person.

Major General Shinya Hiragi and Special Private Yoichi Saotome attempt to snipe Lucal, but he notices their attack and quickly blocks it with Esther's body, leaving naught but Esther's right arm and glasses behind. He activates his sword and swings it at the tower the snipers are perched on, breaking the top of the tower and nearly sending the two flying.

Lucal walks forward as explosions from the snipers' attacks exterminate the common vampires along with a good portion of the park. He encounters Special Private Yuichiro Hyakuya. Shinoa Squad and Narumi Squad attack him. He grabs Sergeant Shinoa Hiragi's scythe by the blade and flings her into Sergeant Makoto Narumi's path, but Yu intercepts. Lucal targets Yu, claiming he is too powerful for a human, but Second Lieutenant Mitsuba Sangu distracts him with demon clones using Tenjiryu. He swats them away with one hand. When Special Private Shiho Kimizuki attacks him, he knocks one of Kimizuki's twin blades out of his hands. When Lucal moves to kill him, Rika Inoue, Yayoi Endo, and Taro Kagiyama stab him from behind. Shusaku Iwasaki activates his Cursed Gear "Akahebi" and binds Lucal's left arm with a chain.

Since Lucal cannot remove the chain, he cuts off his own arm in order to avoid the Moon Demon Company's next attack.

He realizes these are the humans Krul Tepes warned him about. Kimizuki taunts Lucal with his lost arm, asking what happens if he vaporizes it. He says he knows vampires can stick limbs back on after they get cut off, but can they regrow it like a lizard does its tail? He warns him, and Kimizuki tells Lucal to beg for it if he wants it back. Lucal snaps.

Lucal charges at Kimizuki, swatting away Mitsuba and Shinoa's manifested attacks and dodging Shinya and Yoichi's shots. They lure him close to Yu, who slices him in half.

With only a head, arm, and torso still attached, he cannot do much, and Narumi destroys his head, vaporizing Lucal Wesker for good.

Natural Abilities
As a vampire, Lucal is naturally far more stronger and powerful than a human. Being a fifteenth progenitor, he is strong even among vampires. As a noble vampire, he has the ability and permission to turn humans into vampires as he pleases.

He can lengthen his claws at will.

Weapon
A first-class vampire sword with a nearly cone-shaped guard withe white and black vertical stripes. When he commands it to drink his blood, it pierces his knuckles and fingers with needles.
