The Chronicle
From an early age, Lucian aspired to follow in the footsteps of his father, Urias, a member of the ancient Sentinels of Light. While Lucian stayed in Demacia, Urias traveled far and wide, defending the living from the wraiths of the Black Mist.
Urias shared stories of his adventures with Lucian, where bravery and cleverness prevailed. Lucian was captivated, imagining himself protecting Runeterra alongside his father. However, Urias did not want Lucian to follow his perilous path, hoping to keep his family safe.
Lucian eagerly awaited the day he could become Urias' apprentice, but that day never came.
Instead, Lucian remained in Demacia, growing increasingly disillusioned with its culture. He particularly resented the kingdom's exile of peaceful mages. Lucian found purpose in helping the exiled on their dangerous journeys. Where others saw only criminals, Lucian saw people in need.
One day, Lucian returned home to find a stranger at his door. She introduced herself as Senna, a Sentinel of Light, and held Urias' relic pistol. Senna explained that Urias had died fighting the wraiths of the Black Mist.
Senna had been Urias' apprentice, fighting by his side for years.
Lucian was shocked--not only was his father dead, but before him stood a woman who had lived the life he had always desired. As Senna prepared to leave, Lucian insisted on joining her. He knew what came next--the vigil for fallen Sentinels. Senna reluctantly agreed.
During their journey, they shared stories about Urias, finding comfort in each other's company. They held the vigil at Urias' birthplace, far from Demacia. As they prepared to leave, wraiths attacked them. Senna fought them with grim determination, revealing that the Black Mist had cursed her since childhood.
During the battle, Lucian retrieved Urias' pistol and, with a burst of light from his sorrow, helped Senna banish a wraith. Senna was impressed, recognizing Lucian's potential to join the Sentinels.

Senna eventually entrusted Lucian with his father's pistol and trained him in the ways of the Sentinels. Lucian proved himself worthy, and a bond formed between them, Lucian's warmth complementing Senna's discipline.
Together, Lucian and Senna fought the evils of the Black Mist, and their partnership blossomed into love. Lucian's desire to heal Senna's curse became a relentless pursuit.
In a forgotten vault, they were attacked by the wraith Thresh. despite senna's call to retreat, Lucian pressed on, leading to a fatal mistake. Senna sacrificed herself to save Lucian, her soul claimed by Thresh's lantern.
Senna's death nearly broke lucian. for years, he roamed runeterra, consumed by anger and bitterness. wielding both his pistol and senna's, he hunted thresh, hoping to free her soul. When he finally shattered the lantern, senna reemerged instead of finding rest.
Lucian and Senna's love endured even death. as lucian struggled to accept senna's altered form, he also faced his own changes. Now, Lucian fights to reclaim his former self while grappling with the reality that the dark forces he despises are what keep senna with him.
Although Senna has returned with a new mission, Lucian remains fixated on destroying Thresh, convinced that the chain warden's schemes are far from over. and he was right, as we now know that thresh managed to escape his spectral form from the shadow isles and is now doing something in Noxus, we don't know yet what, but he is planning something big, maybe something that's gonna be a league of legends event in the future, or even a game like the mageseeker was (I am just dreaming).
Champion's relations
Though very serious and highly dedicated to his cause, Lucian also made some relations during his life so far, of course, the most obvious relation is the one with Senna.
Senna
Lucian and Senna are husband and wife. Lucian's father, Urias, saved Senna as a child and later helped her become a Sentinel. Senna first met Lucian to deliver the news of Urias' death. Over time, love blossomed between them, and they became husband and wife. Senna also played a crucial role in training Lucian to become a Sentinel. Tragically, Thresh killed Senna while she was trying to save Lucian, fueling his intense hatred for Thresh and the Shadow Isles. Lucian traveled to Bilgewater to pursue Thresh and discovered Senna's soul trapped inside the Chain Warden's lantern. Lucian continued to hunt the Mist to free her, eventually succeeding, though he did not expect her to return to life. Despite Senna's freedom, Lucian remains fixated on taking vengeance on Thresh, convinced that the Chain Warden's schemes are far from over.
Miss Fortune
Lucian met Miss Fortune during the events of Shadow and Fortune, where they fought together against the undead from the Shadow Isles in Bilgewater. Although they parted on friendly terms, Miss Fortune later betrayed Lucian and the Sentinels of Light to Viego, hoping to persuade him to help her claim Bilgewater. They also encountered Olaf during the same events, though neither paid much attention to him. Olaf would later forget meeting Lucian.
Viego
After freeing Senna, Lucian and Senna shifted their focus to stopping Viego and his Black Mist. Upon learning about Senna's connection to Isolde, Viego's wife, Viego pursued the couple and ultimately succeeded in reclaiming Isolde despite their efforts to stop him. Of course, as we all know, Viego was stopped in the end, and Isolde's soul is now released and finally free to take her eternal rest.
Gwen
Gwen joined forces with Lucian and Senna to support the Sentinels of Light and oppose Viego.
Sentinels of Light
Lucian and Senna recruited several Sentinels of Light to help them battle Viego, including Diana, Graves, Irelia, Olaf, Pyke, Rengar, Riven, and Vayne. Lucian and a Rookie Sentinel saved Rengar from wraiths while traveling to the jungles of Ixtal in search of a fetter.
Akshan
Lucian traveled to Shurima to find the Absolver and met Akshan. Initially, Akshan refused to join their cause, but he later had a change of heart and revived Lucian after he was killed by wraiths.
