Background

Lucas was born to the powerful alpha of his family and was trained from birth to be a warrior and a noble. While many of his siblings were spoiled, he showed good judgment and a sense of pride that required him to never fail his family. It was with great relief that he Changed before any of the others and it was not long before he proved himself as an Ivory Claw. He saw the opportunities of their homeland fading and gathered his own pack to move to America to found a branch of the family there. While young, his charisma held them together through difficult times and his sound judgment allowed them to establish themselves as influential members of the community in Little Manila. There was surprisingly little resistance from the local packs over the sub-prime territory, though they had to engage the Silver Kings a few times when the Financial District began to spill over Market. Their reputation as powerful warriors was firmly established from these fights and eventually the Tribes of the Moon opted to leave them to their territory, considering them the least of possible evils, given their honor in combat. Lucas is the patriarch of the Filipino werewolves in the Bay Area, with each new pack formed by one of his numerous children. This has left him bereft of a male heir in his own pack, however, and he is forced to consider his nephew Nicolas to succeed him, though he isn't fond of this notion as the man isn't a warrior. Tradition doesn't allow him to pass the alpha-ship to his daughter Marcela, the better choice. It is currently a matter of some contention in the family. He has been making an effort to sell the prestige of being alpha of the founding pack to his sons in the hope that one of them will seek the position before he dies.
