It's August 24th so that means it's "Happy Traumatic End to Your Mortal Existence Day" for our favorite Forever Knight fiend, LaCroix. He was turned into a vampire 1,944 years ago while his home and nearly everyone he knew were incinerated in a volcanic eruption. There's not really a greeting card for this.
We learned LaCroix's origin story in "A More Permanent Hell" (AMPH) with a later continuation of his early vampire story in "Ashes to Ashes."
The fact that he came from being a male Roman citizen of high social rank explains a lot about him. A LOT.
I hope you're ready for a long-winded chat about LaCroix as a Roman and how that helps explain why he is the way he is, a related fic recommendation and analysis, and learning how "Divia" and "Lucius" would have been pronounced in Classical Latin (quite different from how we pronounce them in English).
( 'cause that's exactly what you're going to get... )
