Everything I am, I am because of you. I looked up to you my whole life. I will never leave you, and I will not go back. You cannot make me go back. I won't let you make me go back! 
- —Milo[src]
Lucien, also known as Milo, was born into wealth and shared a lifelong bond with Michael Morbius both burdened by a rare blood ailment. Utilizing his considerable resources, Milo financed Horizon Labs' research endeavors, seeking a remedy for their shared affliction.
But when Morbius unearthed what appeared to be a potential cure, Milo's desperation led him to pilfer the solution for himself, inadvertently turning him into a living vampire.
History
In a private hospital nestled within the serene confines of Greece, ten-year-old Michael Morbius eagerly greets the arrival of his surrogate brother, Lucien, who he promptly rechristens "Milo". Both children grapple with a rare blood disorder that obstructs their bodies' natural blood production. Michael's ingenuity saves Milo's life when he repairs his faltering blood pump. Their surrogate father, Dr. Nicholas, orchestrates Michael's enrollment in an esteemed American academy for gifted minds while personally tending to Milo's needs.
A quarter of a century elapses, transforming Milo into a formidable billionaire. Seeking Morbius at his laboratory, Milo's quest is twofold: to locate Martine and confront Morbius, unaware of Martine's dire condition. Astonishment washes over Milo as he discovers Morbius cured of his affliction but now driven by a relentless thirst for blood.
Outrage consumes Milo when Morbius denies him the cure. Subsequently, Morbius stumbles upon a grisly scene at the hospital, where a nurse lies drained of blood, triggering his flight from authorities, including Stroud and Rodriguez.
Behind bars, Morbius encounters Milo, masquerading as his legal counsel, offering liberation and unveiling his treachery. Realization dawns upon Morbius as Milo's departure unveils the stolen cure and a slain nurse, implicating Milo in a spree of vampire-like murders. Morbius confronts Milo, who entices him to embrace their vampiric nature, culminating in a deadly confrontation with law enforcement.
The following day, Morbius, haunted by recent events, confides in Martine, urging her to sever ties with Milo. Elsewhere, Stroud and Rodriguez unravel footage of Milo's atrocities, igniting a media frenzy. Nicholas implores Milo to halt his rampage, only to meet a tragic fate, echoing Milo's scorn for Morbius's favoritism.
As Martine falls victim to Milo's cruelty, Morbius rushes to her side, embracing her in her final moments. Consumed by grief and fury, Morbius confronts Milo, leading to a climactic showdown in the city's depths. Amidst a swarm of bats, Morbius subdues Milo, administering a transformative antidote that quells his bloodlust.
In Milo's dying breath, he acknowledges Morbius's acceptance and passes away. With heavy heart and newfound resolve, Morbius takes flight alongside his nocturnal brethren, embracing his vampiric legacy as the city watches in awe and trepidation.[1]Attributes
