I’ve been thinking about Lucas Baker from the Resident Evil series and his past. There isn’t much info on his history before the Eveline incident, or when he started working for ‘The Connections.’ However, based on his childhood diary, it seems he was always a high-functioning psychopath or sociopath. He even locked a kid in an attic until it started smelling bad just because the kid called him a mean name. Unlike the rest of the Baker family who became affected later, Lucas always seemed disturbed. The mold definitely amplified his dark tendencies, but I’m curious to know if anyone has more details about his past or perhaps any non-game lore, like comics or novels. His character intrigues me because of his sadistic nature and penchant for torture. Do you think he was always this way, or did the events of the game push him further?

Right? The game suggests he was already a monster. His actions before the mold clearly show he thrived on chaos and harming others. It’s like he was just waiting for an opportunity to unleash his darker side, and the mold provided that.
Yeah, it definitely seems like Lucas was a true psychopath. There’s a lot of disturbing stuff about him in the games, like how he intentionally tormented Zoey and even locked another kid in the attic. His lack of remorse shows that he enjoys causing pain, so I’d say he’s always had those tendencies.
Honestly, the games don’t give us any extra background beyond what you see, but the hints are there. Lucas gives off serious bad seed vibes, and the mold just took his sociopathy to the next level.
Wait, he actually did that to his sister? That’s messed up! I hadn’t picked up on that detail before.
