Lorcan is Almanzo's oldest brother who never comes out of his family's basement. No one knows what he and his father Al are working on down there. The only time he does come up is when he is trying to murder Almanzo "for his hobby." Lorcan wants to be a professional murderer, often making long and elaborate plans that don't work out to murder people. Lorcan has an army of butterflies after him for a murder he committed long ago.
