Lucan Meroval

A man who never raises his voice and never breaks a machine loudly. Lucan sabotages by correction: one misaligned plate, one weakened clamp, one reversed glyph, until catastrophe looks like accident. He is not trying to stop the launch. He is trying to make the launch fail later, far from witnesses, so the Void takes the blame.

Clean cuffs, controlled breathing, careful hands that touch tools like they belong to him.

• Courteous
• Patient
• Terrifyingly precise

• Ensure the vessel launches with hidden flaws
• Avoid open confrontation
• Escape into bureaucracy and noise

• He has access to internal movement routes inside the bastion.
• He leaves small ‘practice’ errors to measure who is watching.

• A slow-burn antagonist whose presence is felt through tiny wrongness across returns.
• Can be confronted if the party links clues from all three chances.

• If he escapes, he becomes a recurring hunter tied to schedules and logistics.
• If captured, his papers or tokens can point to a wider network.

• aide-caeso-vibius — contained by (Caeso knows how to close doors without creating martyrs.)
• agent-vaelor — possible handler (The cadence matches polite Thalmor retrieval work.)
