Luca Saan is the Patriarch of House Saan, and the Pirate-Lord of Grey Gallows. He is the half-brother of Samarro Saan, sharing the same father with him. Only recently has he come into power, but the island of Grey Gallows has been bent to his will long before that. Luca isn't a particularly combative man, preferring to rule and survive through a mixture of charisma and intrigue. With the large fleet and the immense wealth of the Saan family, it's a wonder how he'll proceed.

Appearance and Character

With his shiny blond hair and lilac eyes, Luca looks every part of a Saan of Grey Gallows. The blood of Valyria flows through him like the Mander of the Reach. He's rather lanky, with a slender and even delicate physique that wouldn't hold during combat. Though for what he lacks in muscle, he has in his exquisite facial features. With a chiseled face and a jawline that looks to be made of stone. He prefers to keep his silvery hair cut short and curt, in an effort to keep a clear as sight as possible, and a very light stubble, so short that you can see it up close.

There's a deep ruthlessness under those exquisite looks however, and it's clear that he's extremely hungry for power. He'll do most things to run things, whether it's from behind the scenes or right in front of everyone on the throne. He has a silver tongue, and a sharp mind that allows him to thrive in the political parties of both Essos and Westeros. Luca will shake your hand and then stab you in the back. Though, if it's clear to him that you're a valuable ally, you won't have anything to wont. He'll shower you with gold and titles, no matter your status of life.

Saan looks at his position as a means to an ends, and feels confident in the stride he just recently took to gain his power. Even if it meant shoving his brother off one of the many bridges of Grey Gallows into the sea below. If he's cursed in the eyes of the gods, then so be it, he'll address that when it comes to it.

History

Early Life

Luca was born to his father and one of his beloved concubines. He was the second-child, and was thus not the heir to the Saan dynasty. This didn't sit well with Luca, when he realized at the ripe age of ten what this meant. By the age of five and ten he had already established a semblance of a spy ring, with lovers in court and friends that he would sail with reporting rumors and information to the young Saan. When his father passed away and his brother took power when he was twenty and four, it was clear to all in Grey Gallows that Luca was the true Lord, and Samarro was just his puppet.

Ruling from the Back

Life under his half brother was good for Luca, he was essentially the lord behind the scenes, so while Samarro was running away doing the boring duties, Luca was living it up in the small plank town that surrounds Grey Gallows. Whoring, drinking, gambling and killing were some of the activities he partook in. Though in his free time, he'd find himself researching topics of interest in the library of the castle. Dusty old tombs were cracked open in front of him, and his eyes absorbed the wording within. Through these triads in the library, and through studying the treasury records he soon grew accustomed to numbers. And made numerous changes to the economics of Grey Gallows, which only increased the fortune of the Saans.

The Otherys Family

Luca illustrated the capture of the Otherys family, sending a small naval force to capture the family of Balerion Otherys. He knew that there'd be quite a price on their heads, and that countless valuables would be gained from such a plan. He had them escorted back to Grey Gallows, and watched in a silent delight as Samarro welcomed them with open arms. As the days went on Luca went about, preparing messages to be sent to the political families of Tyrosh, detailing how they were willing to take a ransom in return for either the bodies or the heads of the Otherys family. Though when he went to send the color birds out on their journey, he found Samarro Sann in a black rage. The two brothers shouted at each other the entire night, cursing each other and even resorting to drawing blades at one point. Samarro had developed some sort of a friendship with the son of Balerion, and didn't want him sent away. They were his guests he said, and they would remain that way. At this point, Luca realized that Samarro was becoming dangerous to control, and would have to be put down soon.

The Dragonrider

Luca was getting tired of his half-brother, though he was waiting for the right moment to strike. Years passed as Luca slinked off in the shadows, counting his allies and making power moves. He gritted his teeth when his brother provided aid to his new friend, in his effort to gain a dragon. It would've been preferred if a Saan man had tamed that dragon, though Luca was grateful that Balassor didn't show any desire to fly off. It was at this moment where Luca halted all actions against his brother, for he knew that the moment he took power, Balassor would fly away, or turn on Grey Gallows. Though he did whisper to his brother about potential alliances with the Archon of Tyrosh, and the other players on the Narrow Sea.

Friendships Broken

Luca thrived on the new filling of the Saan coffers, revealing in his part of the trade agreement. He started to relax, if Balassor did turn on them, then the Dragonrider of Tyrosh would rush to their aid. He went back to his ways, and even took to Tyrosh itself to act on his pleasures. More years passed, and the year 438 A.C came. He saw that Balassor was growing increasingly frustrated with the Narrow Sea Alliance, and formulated a plan for when the inevitable snap happened. And, as expected, Balassor took his dragon and flew north on that important day, and Luca started his plan.

Recent Events

Luca is on his way to the area where the assassination of Samarro will take place. And is drumming his fingers against his dagger in anticipation for the moment he'd ascend to the lordship.
