Luke (Telltale)

Luke is the tritagonist in Season 2 of Telltale Games' The Walking Dead. He's one of the leader of the Cabin Group alongside Pete and Carlos. He also acts as a brother figure to Clementine after he meets her.
He was voiced by who also voices Lukas from Telltale Games' Minecraft: Story Mode and Star-Lord from Telltale Games Guardians of the Galaxy. 
==Personality==
Luke is a protective, strong-willed, and sympathetic survivor. He is also a good leader and a voice of reason, although sometimes indecisive. Of all his group aside from Pete, he is the friendliest and most welcoming to Clementine, giving her food and offering to stay with them. Luke will do anything to protect his group, which is shown when he tracked the vehicles carrying the survivors to Howe's Harbor for days. Even if Luke is empathetic, he also knows how to be pragmatic, as shown when he refuses Nick to tell Walter that he killed Matthew so as not to bring trouble to his group. He is once again at Howe's Hardware when he considers abandoning the weaker members of the group in order to escape. He also fears the increasingly unstable Kenny and tells Clementine that he should get away from him as he believes his recklessness will cause problems for his survival and that of others. Although determined, he is also merciful when he is shocked to learn that Clementine killed a dog or when he hesitates to kill Carver despite all the horrors he has done. He is also selfless, which is shown when he rescues Clementine from a Walker, which ends up getting him killed when the undead latch onto him and drag him to the bottom of the lake, drowning him.
==Biography==
Luke meets Clementine when she is in trouble in the woods. He decides to carry her until he discovers that she has a bite. Luke drops her to the ground and panics but Clementine explains herself. When the group arrives at their home a huge debate breaks out as to what to do with Clementine. Luke defends her but she ends up in the shed to stay overnight and see if she has turned. Once the group finally lets her inside due to a walker attack Luke offers to feed her. He carries through with his offer and gives her something to eat. The two talk with each other and Clementine explains her story to him. Luke even tries to get her to understand Nick's situation and get her to forgive him. Luke and Clem seem to have bonded from this and depending on your choices he could arguably be your closest ally in the game at the moment.
Luke once again plays a major role in the second episode. Once Pete dies Luke has to take on the leadership role in the group. Clementine and Luke bond some more and Luke even picks Clementine to help him clear off the bridge the group needs to travel across of Walkers. Luke almost dies and Clem helps to save him. The two meet a friendly man on the bridge who is killed by Nick by mistake. Nick tells Clementine that he wishes he could be like Luke and have his confidence and skill. When the group arrives at the lodge and Clementine gets reunited Kenny, Luke's bond with Clem is tested. Clementine can choose to sit with Kenny or Luke during supper and make other choices revolving around her bond with Luke. Luke clashes with Kenny with this factor being a part of it. When Luke and Kenny leave the lodge to fix the transmitter Carver breaks in and kidnaps the entire group. According to Kenny he told Luke to "take a hike" but whether or not Kenny can be trusted or if Luke is okay is left unknown.
Early on the group wonders if Luke will come to save them or if he has abandoned them. When Clem walks in front of a former comic shop she gets her answer when Luke grabs her and brings her inside. Luke is tired and out of it and explains how he came all the way to the camp without getting sleep. Luke asks Clementine to bring him a walkie talkie as a part of his plan to help the group escape the camp. Kenny has other plans that clash with Luke's but any plans they have are hurt when Luke is caught by Carver. After the group is reprimanded by Carver Bonnie tells them that she will help them escape that night. Luke wants to rest but the group ends up going through with leaving no matter Clem's choices. While Clementine sneaks to get the speakers activated to lure the Walkers Luke and the group are cornered by Carver at gunpoint. Luckily Clementine shows up in time and jumps on Carver's back knocking the gun from him. Kenny punches Carver and Luke grabs his gun. Luke is hesitant to shoot Carver but Kenny shoots Carver in both of his legs. Luke and most of the group head outside as Kenny bashes Carver's head in with a crowbar and kills him. The group rubs zombie guts on themselves and walks through the horde of zombies surrounding the building. Suddenly Carlos is devoured and Sarah lures the Walkers in screaming at her father's death. When she runs away, Luke and Nick go to find her.
In the next episode, Clementine and Jane find Luke and Sarah at a trailer park and they tell Luke about the death of the zombified Nick. Then they run off the trailer through the roof and Clem can save Sarah or abandon her. Returning to the group, Luke informs Rebecca of Nick's death. Afterwards, he goes to the observation post where he has sex with Jane. They are discovered by Clem and the others and Luke helps fend off the Walkers trying to climb up to the deck. In the action, Sarah dies (determinant) and Rebecca gives birth to her baby. During the night, Clem informs Luke that Jane is gone, which frustrates him and Kenny confronts him about what he did with Jane. Then, the group travels in the cold and come across Arvo and his Russian group. During the firefight, either Clem or Luke can save AJ on the ground. Whatever happens, Luke gets shot in the leg by Buricko. Afterwards, the survivors are joined by Jane and mourn Rebecca's death.
The group continues marching and Luke is helped by Mike. During a break, Luke expresses his sadness to Clementine over the death of the Cabin Group of which he is the sole survivor. Afterwards, in the evening the group is resting at a power station and Luke reveals that it is his birthday. The characters have a warm conversation and joke with each other. They continue on their way the next day and have to cross a frozen lake. As they step on it, the ice begins to crack under Luke's weight. While trying to move forward, the ice gives way and Luke falls to the ground. Bonnie panics and begs Clem to help her but Luke tells her to stay away and shoot the approaching Walkers. If Clem covers Luke, it's Bonnie who goes to help him and breaks the ice, causing them both to fall into the water. Then, Clem spots Luke under the ice and tries to help him. If she keeps hitting her gun, the ice breaks and Clem sees Luke's corpse, frozen to death. If Clem chooses to help Luke herself the ice also breaks and the two fall into the water. While trying to get to the surface, a Walker approaches Clem but Luke grabs him and pulls him away from her. Then he tries to get out of the water but the Walker grabs him by the leg and drags him to the bottom of the lake, to his death. Luke's death has caused divisiveness within the group which has become scattered with Mike, Bonnie (determinant) and Arvo betraying the group to flee and Kenny and Jane violently arguing over where to go.
