Resident of a planet in the Pegasus Galaxy, with specialties in baking, herbs and spices, and shoving candles into gourds. Greedy and manipulative, he was despised by his fellow townspeople. Lucius enjoyed experimenting with his bread and muffins, and would often bake various foreign herbs into his bread. On a visit to M6H-491, Lucius found an unusual herb and collected samples to bake with. But afterwards he was astonished to find that the herbs he had collected were causing his fellow townspeople to eventually be enthralled by him. The boundaries of his fellow citizens dropping away, he soon discovered he was easily the ruler of their society. Eventually he perfected a potion, which worked well for years. At the peak of his success he had six wives including Willa, and possibly Helcen. The Wraith, upon awakening, found 491 and chose to establish a base of operations there, preventing Lucius from obtaining more of the herb. Desperate, he was eager to forge an alliance with the Atlantis expedition, who visited his world in a great flying ship. After exposing himself and his pheromones to Dr. Carson Beckett for an extensive period of time he managed to get himself invited to the city of the Ancients, where he used their manpower and resources to recover the herbs from the Wraith stronghold. For a period of time Lucius was in control of Atlantis himself, every officer -- minus Colonel John Sheppard, with a cold -- yielding to his every will. But when Sheppard bulled Beckett away from the city and gave him time to clear his head, the doctor devised an antidote which neutralized the effects of the pheromone on Lucius and all its recipients. This drug was also administered to Willa and the rest of the people, who were spared from further withdrawals. Lucius relinquished his hold on Atlantis, and returned to his village in shame.
