Lucas comes from a Gaelic mythology provident. He destroyed the enemy and always put family first. So Guest you are right and wrong. He earned a big amount of money and had 15 wives. So if you wish to put it that way yes I guess you could say he got money, and girls, but he had to earn it. He definitely did not get everything he wanted.
