Mihai Lucescu

Mihai Lucescu is the seemingly immortal founder and ruler of Sanctuarium, the Necrosi birthplace and homeland. Lucescu supervised its construction and had a strong hand developing Necrosi culture.

The story of the Necrosi began with the acceptance of a proposal by a wealthy, Romanian nobleman named Mihai Lucescu to purchase a large section of the Badlands area of South Dakota. Normally, this would have never been considered by the United States Government, but the area had been devastated by meteor impacts, and the government was desperately trying to cope with the economic and sociological strain created by a string of natural disasters. Believing it could retake the area by force anytime it wanted, the United States Government accepted Lucescu's offer. He and his extended family moved into an abandoned mental sanitarium which they converted into a palatial mountain top residence named "Sancutarium".

With the help of Marlayne Praska, the leader of the religious group "Children of the Ophan", word of the safety offered by Lucescu's abode spread to hundreds of thousands of religious exiles who were persecuted for their beliefs. The refugees soon found a home at Sanctuarium, exchanging labour for safety and freedom. Lucescu and Praska became leaders of a powerful legion of followers with a common hatred for their former oppressors.

Lucescu heavily influenced Sanctuarium’s training and education programmes. Necrosi are encouraged to explore the world and learn everything they can, reporting back to Sanctuarium as often as possible. All such reports are brought to the attention of Lucescu. He is respected for his strong and thoughtful leadership, and feared for his ruthless elimination of those who cross or conspire against him.
