• Spencer Marlborough - Luculia's older brother. As children, they were very close and would spend much time together. They visited places such as the bell tower in Leiden, which became one of Luculia's favorite places in town. Ever since the death of her parents, Luculia began feeling like he was the only member of her family left, and the fact that he had come back alive from the war made he really happy. However, they had quite a distant relationship since Spencer constantly got into fights and became a drunkard. During this time, Luculia would take care of and look after her brother.
