Lucy Lawless, an actress noted for her work as Xena in the television series Xena: Warrior Princess
However, the name is also an intentional reference to the actor Lucy Lawless who plays the character Xena.
DeCandido envisioned his characters being "played" by certain actors: he wrote Lokor with Keith Hamilton Cobb in mind, Lucy Lawless was his inspiration for Leader Wol, and André the Giant was the inspiration for Bekk Goran.
