Lucien was the first of such beings to assume such a role. Successors include the former Interpol agent Matthew Cable. After retiring as a raven, Lucien was granted human form whereupon he became the librarian of Dream's palace. In the physical world, this palace manifested itself as a gothic manor in Transylvania called Ghost Castle. In this capacity, Lucien also served as the caretaker and guardian of the castle along with his werewolf companion Rover. Lucien continued to serve as librarian of Dream's palace during the seventy years period in which Dream was imprisoned by Roderick Burgess (and later by his son Alexander Burgess. When Dream returned to his station, he had Lucien conduct a complete census of the dreaming, including the various nightmare entities residing within the House of Secrets and the House of Mystery.
