A former college professor, Lucius taught a course in Evolutionary Biology at the University of Zootopia. He is staunch believer in predator superiority over prey animals, both in physical capabilities and mental prowess, and would often slip in his own agenda into his lessons. His rather extremist views lead to him being ostracized by his colleagues and he was all but forced to step down from his position once he began to make his opinions more vocal in the classroom. Lucius’ method of dealing with this shame involved turning to the bottle and the dinner table for comfort, causing him to put on a good deal of weight as well as becoming all around more temperamental and curmudgeonly, though he can still turn on his old charm and elegance, should the opportunity arise.
Lucius currently works as a curator in the Early Mammals exhibit at the Zootopia Natural History Museum, where he organizes lectures and guided tours, for the most part reining in his skewed viewpoints while in public. Behind the scenes, he is a high ranking “Alpha” member of the Supreme Order of the Bared Fang, a pro-pred/pro-wolf fraternal organization which strives to “bite back against the horns and hooves of our oppressors”, though it’s mainly an excuse to share a few drinks and laughs with like-minded mammals. Will he overcome his prejudices and learn to love both predator and prey alike? Only time will tell…
