He was a Lieutenant in the NYPD 11th Precinct when Mark Shaw took up his bounty-hunting career. Lucius took an instant dislike to Mark due primarily to his disdain for bounty-hunters.^[2] When Mark contacted Sargent Sylvia Kandrey for assistance in a sensitive case, Lucius asked Sylvia not to help him, though she did any way. Her actions led to Lucius being ordered to place Sylvia on probation,^[3] an act he later came to regret though his respect for Sylvia grew as a result.^[4]
